Helen Hyde and Her "Children": Influences, Techniques and Business Savvy of an American Japoniste Printmaker

January 2016 (has links)
abstract: After the opening of Japan in the mid-1800s many foreigners flocked to the nation. San Franciscan Helen Hyde (1868-1919) joined the throng in 1899. Unlike many of her predecessors, however, she went as a single woman and was so taken with Japan she made it her home over the span of fourteen years. While a number of cursory studies have been written on Helen Hyde and her work, a wide range of questions have been left unanswered. Issues regarding her specific training, her printmaking techniques and the marketing of her art have been touched on, but never delved into. This dissertation will explore those issues. Helen Hyde's success as a printmaker stemmed from her intense artistic training, experimental techniques, artistic and social connections and diligence in self-promotion and marketing as well as a Western audience hungry for "Old Japan," and its imagined quaintness. Hyde's choice to live and work in Japan gave her access to models and firsthand subject matter which helped her audience feel like they were getting a slice of Japan, translated for them by a Western artist. This dissertation provides an in depth bibliography including hundreds of primary newspaper articles about Hyde who was lauded for her unique style. It also expands and corrects the listing of her printed works and examines the working style of an American working in a Japanese system with Japanese subjects for a primarily American audience. It also provides a listing of known exhibitions of Hyde's works and a listing of stamps and markings she used on her prints. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Art History 2016

Hey, You Monster : Ideological Representation and Resisting Interpellation in Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Fridh, Jenny January 2021 (has links)
This essay discusses the representation of Victorian ideologies and interpellation in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. By utilising Louis Althusser’s theories of ideology and interpellation, in combination with a critical understanding of Victorian ideologies as introduced by Rosemary Jann and Jihay Park, this essay aims to analyse the characters’ representation of and submission versus the resistance to these ideologies. Additionally, by analysing whether the characters conform to the Victorian ideologies, introduced by Jann and Park, this essay proposes that non-conformity to ruling ideologies suggests resistance to interpellation, which is what constitutes a bad subject. This analysis lends itself to the discussion of how Althusser’s theories may be used in literary analyses, as well as to the discussion, initiated by Judith Butler, of whether an individual’s deviation from interpellation is possible. This essay argues that Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mr. Gabriel Utterson represent ideological functions by conforming to the Victorian ideologies, which constitute them as submitting to interpellation as good subjects. However, Mr. Edward Hyde’s non-conformity to Victorian ideologies constitutes him as resisting interpellation as a bad subject.

Orson Hyde and the Carson Valley Mission, 1855-1857

Page, Albert R. 01 January 1970 (has links) (PDF)
The Mormon Church has for years been given credit by historians for the settlement of Carson Valley. Prior to 1854 the LDS Church actually had no connection with that valley except that it was part of the Utah Territory, which the Church controlled. When political dissension against the Mormons developed in Carson Valley, Brigham Young decided to organize the area into a county in 1854. The following year he sent Orson Hyde and other officials there to organize the county government. Within a year Hyde so influenced Young that he agreed to send 250 colonists to Carson Valley in order to bring that area under the control of the Mormon Church. During the next eighteen months the colony failed to live up to its several objectives. When the Utah War broke out the Mormon leaders decided to abandon the colonial effort and instructed the missionaries to return to Salt Lake City. This hardship Hyde and Young could have spared the Saints had they foreseen the difficulties of establishing the colony in the midst of non-Mormons, an experience the Church had previously undergone in the East.

"This, too, was myself": Empathic Unsettlement and the Victim/Perpetrator Binary in Robert Louis Stevenson's <em>Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</em>

Bruner, Brittany 01 March 2017 (has links)
At first glance, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a tale that reinforces binaries. One of these is the self/other binary that is central to David Hume's and Adam Smith's theories of sympathy that conceive of a self imaginatively identifying and experiencing fellow-feeling for an other. However, this notion is complicated because Jekyll and Hyde are the same person. Further, many critics argue that Stevenson actually challenges binary thinking. While Hume and Smith do not challenge the self/other binary in connection with sympathy, trauma theory critics do challenge a self/other binary that lies at the heart of sympathy: the victim/perpetrator binary. Noted trauma theorist Dominick LaCapra develops a method of empathizing called empathic unsettlement where a secondary witness listens with empathy to a victim's traumatic witness while recognizing the difference of his or her position as a witness. He argues that perpetrators may also warrant understanding, but this understanding does not come through empathy. However, one of the hallmarks of empathic unsettlement is that it does not neatly resolve or replace traumatic narratives. Therefore, I argue that empathic unsettlement could also be a useful method for allowing a perpetrator to witness. While practicing empathic unsettlement for a perpetrator may not be worth the risk in real life, performing a thought experiment in literature can test how using empathy might provide a better way to theorize perpetration. Using two witnesses who attempt to practice empathic unsettlement for Jekyll and Hyde, Dr. Hastie Lanyon (who fails), and Mr. Gabriel John Utterson (who succeeds), I will show how empathic unsettlement could be used for both a victim and perpetrator to tease out the complexities of assessing a traumatic situation.

The Changing Role of Science in Frankenstein, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Dracula

Jacobsson, Lisa January 2010 (has links)
This essay has examined the role of science in the three classic horror stories Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and Dracula. The argument stated that the role of science in these works is changeable and constitutes both a friend and an enemy, depending on the protagonists’ motives. Viktor Frankenstein and Dr Jekyll explore science selfishly and without forethought, creating fear of uncontrollable speculation as well as unpredictable degeneration. However, the good aspects of science are later redeemed when Van Helsing and Dr Seward add human and religious values. In order to show the argument to be true, the motives for turning to science, the use of science and the results have been scrutinized. In the three chapters, the protagonists’ relation to and exploration of science have been examined. Viktor Frankenstein’s scientific obsession results in an isolated, mad scientist and a tormented creature, hungry for revenge. The violent and hateful Mr Hyde, a symbol of primitive backlash, is the outcome of Dr Jekyll’s scientific venture. Conversely, Van Helsing’s and Dr Seward’s humanistic use of scientific progress creates shelter and hope. The distinguishing element in these outcomes is morality, carrying with it reflective forethought and compassion.

The gaze and subjectivity in fin de siècle Gothic fiction

Foster, Paul Graham January 2007 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with the importance of the gaze in fin-de-siecle Gothic. One of the ways in which the importance of the gaze manifests itself is in the central role of the onlooker like Enfield, Utterson or Lanyon in Robert Louis Stevenson's Stange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), Prendick In H.G. Well's Island of Dr Moreau (1896), or Harker in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897). As their appelation suggests, Wells's Beast Men confound the distinction between the human and the animal, which is also the case with 'Beast Men' like Hyde and Dracula. A central concern of the thisis is the perceptual drama that is involved in looking at the spectacle of the monstrous body, for excample, as the onlooker struggles to get to grips with the challenge to representation posed by these 'Beast Men'.

As transformações de Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde: traduções, adaptações e demais refrações da obra prima de Robert Louis Stevenson / The transformations of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde: translations, adaptations and refractions of Robert Louis Stevensons masterpiece

Perrotti-Garcia, Ana Julia 19 September 2014 (has links)
O objeto de estudo deste trabalho são as refrações da obra The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, do escritor escocês Robert Louis Stevenson, publicada pela primeira vez em 1886 e, em particular, suas traduções, adaptações e reescritas em língua portuguesa. Além dos teóricos da Tradução e da Literatura, esta tese procurou reunir as opiniões e os pensamentos de pesquisadores e escritores que analisaram Jekyll and Hyde. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi elencar as obras publicadas em língua portuguesa e o objetivo específico foi analisar algumas dessas traduções, pela montagem de um corpus paralelo de textos alinhados, à luz dos aspectos levantados nas edições anotadas. A partir do material coletado e analisado, concluímos que o livro The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde está presente na mente dos brasileiros, não só por suas traduções em língua portuguesa, mas também pelas demais formas de refração que a obra suscitou / The object of this study are the refractions of the work The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, penned by the Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson and published for the first time in 1886 and, in particular the translations, adaptations and revisions of this work in the Portuguese language. Apart from the theorists in the fields of Translation and Literature, this thesis has also tried to gather the opinions and the thoughts of different researchers and writers who have analysed Jekyll and Hyde. The general aim of this research was that of listing the works currently available in Portuguese, while the specific purpose of this study was that of analysing some of these translations, followed by the creation of a parallel corpus of aligned texts, based on the aspects we have observed in the listed editions. Based on the material that has been collected and analysed, we come to the conclusion that the book The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is very much present in Brazilians minds, not only through the translations thereof into the Portuguese language, but also through the other types of refractions that the work has aroused
