In La Migration des coeurs, Maryse Condé rewrites Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights in a Caribbean context. Through its intertextual connection to Brontë's novel, Condé's text can be read in relation to Wuthering Heights according to the rhizomatic structure posited by Deleuze and Guattari, and further employed by Édouard Glissant in his Poétique de la Relation. The rhizome allows a comparison that resists a hierarchical comparison of the texts, and permits dialog and mutual influence between the two novels. Condé's critics, reinforcing this intertextual relation, have rarely considered La Migration des coeurs independently of Brontë's Wuthering Heights. However Windward Heights, Richard Philcox's English translation of Condé's novel, has not been previously considered worthy of a place in the rhizome. As a rewriting of Condé's own rewriting, Philcox's translation merits analysis in relation to the other two novels. This study will examine the nature of translation and rewriting in a postcolonial context. Primarily focusing on La Migration des coeurs, it will show how Condé uses the latent imperialist frame of Wuthering Heights to expose social inequalities in Guadeloupe, and how Philcox communicates this critique back to the English metropolis in Windward Heights.

Besides, the philosophical tone raised the themes, the gothic nature of the book were the items that guided the interest in investigating the procedures adopted in the language and the novelistic techniques highlighted in it, since the author crumbles literary canons established, due to the high degree of experimentation with the language – the speech in Wuthering Heights is a clear marker of superiority and inferiority – the use of multiple narrators and also a protagonist with chances of being a bastard son with a gypsy origin who falls in love with a woman that belongs to the English middle class. All these aspects were quite inappropriate for a woman’s pen. Notably Brontë’s book corrupted the puritan values and it provoked a rebuke immediate from the nineteenth-century society. This research is based on the theories of Tzvetan Todorov about the fantastic narrative due to the Gothic nature of the book, in Clément Rosset by his literary studies present in The Principle of Cruelty, in Black Sun: Depression and Melancholy by Julia Kristeva and others. / A obra O morro dos ventos uivantes (1847), da romancista inglesa Emily Brontë traz como vieses filosóficos os temas da crueldade e da melancolia apresentados dentro de um cenário inóspito e composto por personagens autodestrutivas, cujos perfis psicológicos movimentam a trama. Além do tom filosófico suscitado pelos temas, as características góticas da obra foram a motivação que guiou o interesse em investigar os procedimentos adotados na linguagem bem como as técnicas romanescas nela evidenciadas, posto que a autora esboroa os cânones literários até então estabelecidos, por conta do elevado grau de experimentação com a linguagem – a fala em O morro dos ventos uivantes é marcador claro de superioridade e inferioridade – , da utilização de múltiplos narradores e ainda, de um protagonista com chances reais de ser um filho bastardo de origem cigana que se apaixona por uma mulher da classe média inglesa. Todos estes aspectos eram considerados bastante inapropriados para uma pena feminina. Notadamente a obra de Brontë corrompia os valores puritanos, e isto provocou uma reprovação da sociedade oitocentista imediata. Este trabalho de pesquisa está ancorado nas teorias de Tzvetan Todorov sobre a narrativa fantástica dada a natureza gótica da obra, em Clément Rosset por seus estudos literários presentes em O princípio da crueldade, em Sol Negro: Depressão e melancolia de Julia Kristeva e outros.

Charlotte and Emily Brontë both incorporate folk traditions into their novels, which help define and complicate notions of class and identity in their work. This thesis examines the folklore of the novels, including customs, folktales, and material folk culture, and explores how these elements work within the worlds created by the Brontës. While scholars such as Micael Clarke, Lauren Lepow, and Heta Pyrhönen have established the presence of folk tale, ballad, and supernatural motifs in the Brontës’ work, few have discussed the ways in which folk culture, in particular, underscores the notions of class and identity.

In December 1927, Emily Carr's paintings were shown for the first time in central Canada in an exhibition called Canadian West Coast Art - Native and Modern. This event was held at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, and marked a major turning point in Carr's career, for it brought her acceptance by the intellectual and artistic elite with their powerful networks of influence, as well as national acclaim in the public press. To this point, art historical writings have tended to focus on the artist and her own experiences, and in the process, the importance of this experimental exhibition in which her work was included has been overlooked and marginalized. This thesis attempts to redress this imbalance by examining the exhibition in detail: first, to analyze the complexities of its ideological premises and the cultural implications of juxtaposing, for the first time in Canada, aboriginal and non-native artistic production within an art gallery setting; second, to consider the roles played by the two curators, Eric Brown, Director of the National Gallery, and C. Marius Barbeau, chief ethnologist at the National Museum; and third, to indicate the ways in which Emily Carr's works and those of the other non-native artists functioned within the exhibition. During the 1920s, both the National Gallery and the National Museum were caught up in the competitive dynamic of asserting their leadership positions in the cause of Canadian nationalism and the development of a national cultural identity. In this 1927 exhibition, these issues of nationalism, self-definition and the development of a distinctly "Canadian" art permeated its organization and presentation. The appropriated aboriginal cultural material in the museum collections that had languished within storage cases was to be given a contemporary function. It was to be redeemed as "art," specifically as a "primitive" stage in the teleological development of the constructed field of "Canadian" art history. In this elision process, the curators relegated the native culture to a prehistoric and early historic past, suppressing its own parallel historical and cultural development. The exhibition also presented the native objects as an available source of decorative design motifs to be exploited by non-native artists, designers and industrial firms in their production of Canadian products, underlining the assumption of the right to control and manipulate the culture of the colonized "Other." Emily Carr"s twenty-six paintings, four hooked rugs and decorated pottery represented the largest contribution from any single artist. In their interpretations of the native culture, Carr and the other non-native artists were also engaged in a "self-other" definition, and had filtered their perceptions through the practices and conventions of western art traditions, especially in the use of modernist techniques. In the context of the exhibition, the artistic production by the fourteen non-native artists, including Carr, was caught up in a reaffirmation of the ideological and cultural positions of the two curators and the institutions they represented. The alternate discourses that could have been provided by the native people remained unheard. / Arts, Faculty of / Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Department of / Graduate

This study examines the impact of new museological theory on museum education practice at the Vancouver Art Gallery in relation to a re-installation of Emily Carr's work. It is a case study that concerns both the negotiation of meanings around Emily Carr's work as they are situated within current and traditional art historical/ historical beliefs, and the desire to offer museum visitors a more sufficient or comprehensive educational experience. The dissertation examines the installation of Carr in a variety of galleries across Canada (National Gallery, Art Gallery of Ontario, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Vancouver Art Gallery) as a means of contextualizing a range of problems associated with museum practice. The National Gallery chapter explores issues of ideology raised by the new museology. The chapter concerning the display at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria concerns the particularities of site and place (Victoria was Carr's birthplace) as well as notions of resonance and contextualization in art displays. The discussion of the Art Gallery of Ontario concerns contextualization of a different sort, the display created with a solid foundation in educational literature. A temporary exhibition of Carr's work juxtaposed with that of Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun in Vancouver offers an entry point into a discussion of subjectivity and curatorial epistemic authority, while the resulting re-installation of Carr at the Vancouver Art Gallery (the case) is explored as one possible approach to issues raised in the earlier chapters, by the challenges of post-modem theorists to historical understanding, historiography, and museum practice. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate
