Thesis (MPhil (Visual Arts))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation aims to investigate, from a feminist perspective, representations of female sexuality in fairy tale text and illustrations. I conduct my analysis in the form of a case study of the Brothers Grimm’s The Handless Maiden as it appeared in the 1915 English edition of their Children and Household Tales. My investigation is prompted by the belief that fairy tales play an important role in the social construction of gender relations, a process known as ‘interpellation’ within contemporary feminist discourse. This due to the fact that fairy tales are some of the earliest narratives young children get exposed to and thus help shape their understanding of the world around them and their role as social beings in it. I start my investigation by looking exclusively at fairy tale text – The Handless Maiden by the Brothers Grimm - and how language gets used to construct a specific version of female sexuality; that which is silenced and without agency, thus repressive and problematic from a feminist perspective. Here I firmly situate my argument within a theoretical framework provided by contemporary feminist discourse with reference to the arguments of theorists Judith Butler and Luce Irigaray and their emphasis on the key role of language within processes of ‘interpellation’. I then move on to a discussion of fairy tale illustrations and the important role thereof to underscore, by making visible, the particular version of female sexuality implicit in the accompanying text. The next part of my investigation focuses on images of women in the photo-collages of the early 20th century German artist Hannah Höch. I posit these as exemplary of imagery with the potential to destabilize patriarchal notions of female sexuality. By means of this investigation I hope to provide a discursive framework in which to situate my own set of illustrations of the Grimm’s Handless Maiden, which I completed as part of the practical component of my submission for the current degree. The final part of my discussion focuses on my own illustrations of the Grimm’s Handless Maiden and here I will argue for my illustrations as a means to, not only destabilize notions of female sexuality implicit in the accompanying fairy tale text, but also a means to suggest other, alternative, readings of the nature of the female sexual subject position implicit in the text. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die feministiese tentoonstelling van vroulike seksualiteit in sprokies se illustrasie en teks. My ondersoek analiseer die Broers Grimm se The Handless Maiden soos dit verskyn het in die 1915 Engelse uitgawegenaamd, Children and Household Tales. Hierdie ondersoek word gelei deur die aan-name dat sprokies‘n belangrike rol speel in die sosiale konstruksie van geslag verwantskappe, ‘n proses bekend as “interpellasie” in die diskoers van kontemporêre feminisme. Sprokies is van die vroegste narratiewe waaraan kinders blootgestel word en beïnvloed dus hul begrip van die wêreld, ondermeer hul sosiale rol daarin. My ondersoek begin met die fokus op The Handless Maiden se teksen hoe taal gekonstrueer word rondom ‘n spesifieke weergawe van vroulike seksualiteit. Vanuit ‘n feministiese oogpunt is hierdie seksualiteit problematies, aangesien dit as swygend en sonder agentskap aanskou word. Ek struktureer my ondersoek rondom die argumente van Judith Butler and Luce Irigaray, met klem op die rol van taal in die proses van “interpellasie”. Daarna skuif my fokusna ‘n diskoers omtrent sprokies se illustrasies en die belangrike rol van onderliggende vroulike sexualiteit wat teenwoordig is in die teks sowel as die illustrasies. My ondersoek lei dan na die vroulike figure in die foto-plakskildery van die vroeg 20ste eeuse Duitse kunstenaar, Hannah Höch. My ondersoek van vroulike figure staan dan as voorbeelde van die moontlikheid om patriargale neiging van vroulike seksualiteit te destabiliseer. Ek beoog dus om ‘n diskoers raamwerk te stig waarin ek my eie illustrasies van Grimm se Handless Maiden, wat ek as ‘n deel van my praktiese komponenet voltooi het vir my huidige tesis. Die finale deel van my tesis ondersoek my eie illustrasies van Grimm se Handless Maiden. Hier plaas ek my werk in die destabieliseering raamwerk van vroulike seksualiteit wat vanselfsprekend is in die sprokie en terselfde tyd alternatiewe lesings van die vroulike seksualiteits onderwerp bied.

When a writer, usually a woman, uses fairy tales as a veil through which to narrate a story of her life, I call this practice asymptotic autobiography. In mathematics, the asymptote is a straight line that a curve approaches increasingly closely, but never actually touches. I define “asymptotic autobiography” as a term for discussing any personal narrative that deliberately employs fiction in order to tell truth. In this inquiry, I examine the use of fairy tale language in giving voice to women writers’ autobiographical representations, using Zelda Fitzgerald’s novel and letters as the focus for my analysis. My research and critical analysis will examine how Save Me the Waltz, which Zelda Fitzgerald wrote while she was a psychiatric patient in the Phipps Clinic, uses fairy tales to provide a mapping of the many performances that autobiographical selfhood entails. By experimenting with open-ended fairy tale conventions instead of being limited by clinical truths, and by contextualizing her personal history in the realm of the imaginary, Fitzgerald removes her story from the psychiatric ward and places it safely in legend. The first three chapters of this dissertation show how, in sequence, the autobiographical self becomes free through the use of fairy tales in three stages: once the autobiographer has worked to separate herself from being bound by illness or clinical reality (Chapter One), she is free to make the decision of which self or selves she wishes to narrate and perform (Chapter Two); only once she has established her sense of self can the autobiographer then locate her plot, her map, and her narrative (Chapter Three). In Chapter Four, I offer an example of asymptotic autobiography in the form of a one-person play script that I wrote and performed about Zelda Fitzgerald’s life and hospitalization, using as a frame the fairy tale “The Swan Maiden.” This hybrid essay-performance combines the play script itself with personal writing of my own in which I describe the difficulties I had approaching and performing the rich material of Zelda’s life. / text

Based on three levels of analysis of both texts, according to Fredric Jameson dialectical critic, this interpretation will make evident or clear, in the very first moment, which elements of the poem are approached or neglected in Steve Harris’ adaptation, leader, founder and main songwriter of the British group; simultaneously, a comparison between the form of the texts will be made to list important elements such as rime and meter, verses and stanzas, fable, “characters”, and others. In the second moment, the analysis must point out how nature and religion, illustrated in elements such as the sea, rain, snow, fog and mist, Sun and Moon, wind and breeze, beautiful or slimy living things, prayers, sin and “shrieve” made critics such as Franca Neto, John Lowes, Alexander Silva and Tania Asnes to interpret the poem as imaginative, subjective or religious, connected to what Fredric Jameson calls strategies of containment. The third level of reading will bring up the History hidden under the surface of the work of arts, or in other words, an social-aesthetical reading or an “political interpretation of the literary texts” (JAMESON, 1992, p. 15) supported specially in the concepts of mediation – “the establishment of relationships between, say, the formal analysis of a work of art and its social ground, or between the internal dynamics of the political state and its economic base” (ROBERTS, 2000, p. 78, 79), verifying acts socially symbolic revealed in a final analysis. / O objetivo desta dissertação é investigar o diálogo entre o poema romântico The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, de Samuel Taylor Coleridge, publicado originalmente em 1798, e sua transcriação – conceito proposto por Haroldo de Campos – na música homônima do grupo de heavy-metal Iron Maiden. A análise dos textos se dá em três níveis, de acordo com a crítica dialética de Fredric Jameson. Em primeira instância, a análise evidenciará quais elementos do primeiro são abordados ou negligenciados na releitura de Steve Harris, líder, fundador e principal compositor do grupo britânico; simultaneamente, caberá uma comparação entre a forma dos textos, elencando elementos fundamentais da estrutura como rima e métrica, versos e estrofes, fábula, “personagens”, entre outros. Num segundo momento, a análise deverá salientar como a natureza e a religião, a partir de elementos como mar, chuva, neve, névoa, Sol e Lua, ventos e brisas, criaturas divinas belas ou assustadoras, orações, pecado e absolvição levaram críticos como Franca Neto, John Lowes, Alexander Silva e Tania Asnes interpretaram o poema como imaginativo, subjetivo ou religioso, prendendo-se àquilo que Fredric Jameson denomina estratégias de contenção. Traremos à tona a História oculta por debaixo da superfície das obras a fim de ampliar nossa leitura ao plano estético-social ou, segundo proposto por Fredric Jameson em “O Inconsciente Político”, uma “interpretação política dos textos literários” (JAMESON, 1992, p. 15) apoiada especialmente nos conceitos de mediação – “relações entre a análise formal de uma obra de arte e seu chão social” (JAMESON, 1992, p. 35), verificando atos socialmente simbólicos a serem revelados à luz de uma análise final.

In this paper, the triple goddess portrayed in Maresi: The Red Abbey Chronicles (2014) by Maria Turtschaninoff is analyzed. The paper discusses the female replacement of the all-male trinity in Maresi and how it can be linked to thealogical rewritings of the Bible. Using feministic theory, an analysis is made about how the Maiden, Mother and Crone in Maresi follow or divert from the traditional female archetypes. The biblical intertextuality in the novel is discussed by connecting it to each aspect of the triple goddess. The result is that Maresi is a rewritten version of the Bible, using biblical events and characters to criticize the patriarchy. Turtschaninoff’s portrait of the Maiden, Mother and Crone diverts from the typical female archetypes. This diversion results in a more complex depiction of the woman in literature.

Changes in the microclimate in AFS, can affect the potassium use efficiency by crops. The high absorption of potassium (K) by the plants of white oat, corn and eucalyptus make potassium fertilization an essential practice in AFS. The objectives of this study were to quantify (i) the dry matter yield (DM) and nutrient accumulation in shoots of white oat (season 2014); (ii) the DM and grain yield, and the nutritional status of maize (season 2014/15); (iii) potassium use efficiency by crops in succession (white oat - maize); and (iv) assess the main soil fertility attributes after the white oat crop (season 2014) and maize (season 2014/2015) in AFS fertilized with K. The experiment was installed in Model Farm of Agronomic Institute of Paraná (IAPAR), in the city of Ponta Grossa (PR) in an Oxisoil úmbrico. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with split plots and three replications. The plots consist of four transects - growing distances from trees (transects: 1 - 0- 4 m away; 2 - 4-8 m away; 3 - 8-12 m distance and 4 - 12-16 m away). In the subplots were studied four annual K2O levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1 year-1), as potassium chloride (600 g kg-1 K2O), applied to the surface, and half of each levels applied at sowing of each crop (white oat - winter and maize - summer). The DM yields and nutrients accumulation in the shoots of white oat were determined on management with herbicide. In maize, was evaluated the nutritional status and measured DM and grain yields. Also, values of pH, contents of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and K exchangeable, base saturation (V) and the percentage of K in the effective CECe were determined in the layers of 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm. The DM yield and the accumulation of nutrients in the shoots of white oat decreased due to the shade provided by the eucalyptus. To this culture in AFS, the levels of K2O increased the yield of DM and the accumulation of sulfur (S) in the shoot. In situation of shading of 64.5%, recycling of nutrients by white oat provided for the subsequent corn crop, better nutrition and, on average, higher DM and grain yields. In this situation, the addition of K2O (up to 230 kg ha- 1 year-1) would provide higher yield of corn grain. This decrease in K level directly implies greater potassium use efficiency, lower production cost and could make possible the cultivation of corn in AFS in the Campos Gerais region. The application of potassium fertilizer high water solubility, in the surface of the soil, reduced, in some situations, Ca and Mg content in the surface layer, it favored the mobility of K and increased its content of this nutrient throughout the soil profile and thus their participation in CECe. The tree component reduced nutrient concentrations in transecta 1 (most influential eucalyptus region), resulting in lower pH values and V in subsurface soil layers (below 20 cm deep). / O sucesso do sistema agroflorestal (SAF) é resultante das combinações adequadas de culturas agrícolas, forrageiras e componente arbóreo e da fertilidade do solo. Modificações no microclima, em SAF, podem afetar a eficiência de uso de potássio (K) pelas culturas agrícolas. A elevada absorção de K pelas plantas de aveia branca, milho e eucalipto tornam a fertilização potássica uma prática essencial. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram quantificar (i) o rendimento de matéria seca (MS) e acúmulo de nutrientes na parte aérea da aveia branca (safra 2014); (ii) o rendimento de MS e de grãos, e o estado nutricional do milho (safra 2014/15); (iii) a eficiência de uso de K pelas culturas em sucessão (aveia branca – milho) e (iv) avaliar os principais atributos de fertilidade do solo, após o cultivo de aveia branca (safra 2014) e milho (safra 2014/2015), em SAF fertilizado com K. O experimento foi instalado na Fazenda Modelo do Instituto Agronômico do Paraná, em Ponta Grossa (PR) em um Latossolo Vermelho Distrófico úmbrico. O delineamento experimental empregado foi de blocos casualizados, em esquema de parcelas subdivididas com três repetições. As parcelas consistiram em quatro transectas –distâncias de cultivo em relação às árvores (transectas: 1 – 0-4 m de distância; 2 – 4-8 m de distância; 3 – 8-12 m de distância; e 4 – 12-16 m de distância). Nas subparcelas foram estudadas quatro doses anuais de K2O (0, 100, 200 e 300 kg ha-1 ano-1), na forma de cloreto de potássio, aplicadas em superfície, em área total, sendo a metade de cada dose aplicada por ocasião da semeadura de cada cultura (aveia branca – inverno e milho – verão). Foram determinados os rendimentos de MS e acúmulos de macronutrientes na parte aérea da aveia branca por ocasião do manejo com herbicida. Com relação ao milho, foi avaliado o estado nutricional e mensurado os rendimentos de MS e grãos. Ainda, determinou-se os valores de pH; os teores de cálcio (Ca), magnésio (Mg) e K trocáveis; saturação por bases (V) e o percentual de K na CTC efetiva do solo, nas camadas de 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-40 e 40-60 cm. O rendimento de MS e o acúmulo de macronutrientes na parte aérea da aveia branca foi diminuído devido ao sombreamento proporcionado pelo eucalipto. Para essa cultura em SAF, as doses de K2O aumentam o rendimento de MS e também, o acúmulo de enxofre (S) na parte aérea. Em situação de sombreamento com intensidade de 64,5%, a reciclagem de nutrientes pela aveia branca proporcionou, para a cultura de milho, melhor nutrição e, na média, maiores rendimentos de MS e de grãos. Nessa situação, a adição de K2O (até 230 kg ha-1 ano-1) proporcionaria maior rendimento de grãos de milho. A diminuição na dose de K implica diretamente em maior eficiência de uso do potássio, menor custo de produção e possibilita viabilizar o cultivo de milho em SAF na região dos Campos Gerais. A aplicação de fertilizante potássico de alta solubilidade em água, na superfície do solo, diminuiu, em algumas situações, os teores de Ca e Mg na camada superficial, favoreceu a mobilidade do K e aumentou seu o teor deste nutriente ao longo do perfil do solo e, consequentemente sua participação na CTCe. O componente arbóreo diminuiu as concentrações de nutrientes na transecta 1 (região de maior influência do eucalipto), resultando em menores valores de pH e V nas camadas subsuperficiais do solo (abaixo de 20 cm de profundidade).

Because of the efficient nutrient cycling and biodiversity of crops, the system combines food production with environmental conservation. The lack of research in the context of the potassium (K) dynamic in subtropical soils under ICLS and how the shading provided by the arboreal component alters the production, determined the focus of this research. The main objective of this project consists in evaluating the effects of shade (provided by eucalyptus) on the attributes of plants and soil fertility under conditions of K rates (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1 yr-1 K2O) applied on the soil surface in the entire area. Two experiments are being conducted simultaneously in an Typic Hapludox on a model farm of the Agronomic Institute of Paraná (IAPAR), Ponta Grossa (PR). The experiment employs an experimental design in randomized complete block with split plots and three replications. The plots (4 x 24 m) consists of annual plants (corn, oat and soybean) and the distances considered in relation to eucalyptus (shading effect) were: 0-4, 4-8, 8-12 and 12-16 m. The subplots (4 x 6 m) receive doses (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1 yr-1 of K2O) K (as potassium chloride), at the soil surface at the time of seeding culture of autumn-winter (oat) and at seeding of the summer crop (corn and soybeans). The second experiment was also a randomized complete block design with split plot and three replications. The plots were characterized by rows of eucalyptus and subplots doses of K (similar to the first experiment). In the maize crop (2012/13 and 2014/15) and soybean (2013/14) were evaluated nutritional status (for macronutrients) and grain maize yield (GYM and GYS). During oat growing (2013 and 2014) were evaluated the dry matter yield (DMY), height and macronutrient accumulation. The evaluation of nutritional status of eucalyptus was conducted in the summer (2013/14), and the nutrients in the leaf litter under the canopy. Soil samples of layers 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-40 and 40-60 cm were performed in both experiments at 6, 12 and 30 months after the start of the experiment (Sep / 2012). After that, was determined pH concentration, H + Al, C, Ca, Mg, K, Al, CEC and effective CEC (ECEC), base saturation (%) and aluminum (m%) and the percentage of K, Ca and Mg in the effective CEC. In general, higher concentrations of cations was observed in less shaded transects, which favored the largest DMY for oats/2014 (2218.83 kg ha-1) and GYM (10,470.1 kg ha-1 in 2012/13 and 8742, 5 kg ha-1 in 2014/15) and GYS (1989.0 kg ha-1). Moreover, high concentrations of Ca and Mg were detected in the whole profile favoring saturation in these ECEC in second experiment. Leaching was not observed in profile in the second experiment. The concentration of N, P and K in shoots of eucalypt was within the proper range, but the opposite was observed for Ca, Mg and S. The reduction of the concentration of N, P, K, Mg and S in the litter, may indicate a biochemical decomposition. However, the concentration of Ca in the litter, suggests the influence of biogeochemical cycling. K doses did not affect the production of eucalyptus at 8 years. / O sistema integrado de produção agropecuária (SIPA) consiste em uma das formas de produção integrada, o qual busca maior sustentabilidade ambiental, econômica e social. Em razão da eficiente ciclagem de nutrientes e biodiversidade de culturas, o sistema alia a produção de alimentos com a conservação do meio ambiente. A ausência de pesquisa no âmbito da dinâmica do potássio (K) em solos subtropicais sob SIPA e como a restrição de radiação proporcionado pelo componente arbóreo altera a produção, determinou o foco desta pesquisa. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da restrição de radiação (proporcionado pelo eucalipto) sobre os atributos de plantas e de fertilidade do solo, em condições de doses de K (0, 100, 200 e 300 kg ha-1 ano-1 de K2O) aplicadas na superfície do solo, em área total. Dois experimentos paralelos foram implantados (em setembro/2012) em um Latossolo Vermelho na Fazenda Modelo, município de Ponta Grossa (PR). O primeiro experimento empregou delineamento experimental em blocos completos casualizados com parcelas subdivididas e três repetições. As parcelas (4 x 24 m) consistem das plantas anuais (milho, aveia branca e soja) e as distâncias consideradas em relação ao eucalipto (efeito da restrição de radiação) foram: 0-4, 4-8, 8-12 e 12-16 m. As subparcelas (4 x 6 m) recebem as doses (0, 100, 200 e 300 kg ha-1 ano-1 de K2O) de K (na forma de cloreto de potássio), na superfície do solo, por ocasião da semeadura da cultura de inverno (aveia branca, para produção de forragem) e na semeadura da cultura de verão (milho e soja, para produção de grãos). O segundo experimento também foi em blocos completos casualizados com parcela subdividida e três repetições. As parcelas foram caracterizadas por renques de eucalipto e as subparcelas as doses de K (similarmente ao primeiro experimento). Nas culturas de milho (2012/13 e 2014/15) e soja (2013/14) foram avaliados o estado nutricional (para os macronutrientes) e o rendimento de grãos (RGM e RGS). Durante o cultivo da aveia branca (2013 e 2014), foram avaliados o rendimento de massa seca (RMS), altura e acúmulo de macronutrientes. A avaliação do estado nutricional do eucalipto foi realizada no verão (2013/14), bem como os nutrientes na serapilheira sob a copa. Coletas de solo das camadas 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-40 e 40-60 cm foram realizadas em ambos os experimentos aos 6, 12 e 30 meses após o início do experimento (Set/2012), visando determinar as concentrações de pH, H+Al, C, Ca, Mg, K, Al, CTC potencial (CTC) e efetiva (CTCe), saturação de bases (V%) e de alumínio (m%) e a porcentagem de K, Ca e Mg na CTC efetiva. Maior influência da restrição de radiação em relação às doses de K foi observado para o experimento 1. Redução do K trocável foi observado aos 30 meses, o que reduziu a 1% a saturação de K na CTCe. Em geral, maiores concentrações de cátions foram observadas em transectos menos sombreados, o que favoreceu o maior RMS para aveia/2014 (2218,83 kg ha-1) e RGM (10470,1 kg ha-1 em 2012/13 e 8742,5 kg ha-1em 2014/15) e RGS (1989,0 kg ha-1). Por outro lado, concentrações altas de Ca e Mg foram verificadas em todo perfil, favorecendo a saturação destes na CTCe no segundo experimento. Lixiviação não foi observada no perfil no segundo experimento. As concentrações de N, P e K na parte aérea do eucalipto esteve dentro da faixa adequada, contudo concentrações baixas foram observados para Ca, Mg e S. A redução da concentração de N, P, K, Mg e S na serapilheira, pode indicar decomposição bioquímica. Todavia, aumento da concentração de Ca na serapilheira sugere a influência da ciclagem biogeoquímica. Doses de K não afetaram a produção do eucalipto aos 8 anos.

The Maiden Association in Asker was founded in 1865 20 kilometers southwest of Örebro in the county of Närke. A group of unmarried women closely connected to the Asker Baptist congregation met for prayer, bible reading and conversations with early democratic overtones. They gathered in a time of change in a variety of areas, both social as well as church-related. The surviving material from these women – in the form of protocols, membership registers, etc. – provides an insight into their reflexive process. The local Maiden Association in Asker becomes a window, a vantage point into something that would otherwise be hard to access: in other words, the situation and thinking of "ordinary" women. The overall aim of this study has been to contribute to the understanding of how continuity and changes during the latter part of the 19th century, mainly in the realm of church history, could influence the thinking and life ideals of nonconformist Christian women. Based on my meeting with the source material, two central questions have been formulated: 1. How did the Maiden Association in Asker, during the time period 1865–1903 and in its context, formulate and shape the identities as Christian, woman and young? 2. Why were they formulated and shaped in this way? The method selected may be described as church historical and hermeneutic, with an inductive approach. The source material is derived from two distinct periods in the life of the association, 1865–1880 and 1888–1903, which has given the opportunity to identify changes over time. Two theoretical perspectives have been established – one based on identity and one based on intersectionality. The investigation shows the clear influence of the holiness movements at the local level in the shape of the Holiness Union and the Örebro Mission Association. But the study also shows that the lives and thinking of women were not only characterized by change, but also by continuity. The church historical changes that the nonconformist religious women in Asker took part in were not a clean-cut break with previous lutheran traditions and conventions. / Jungfruföreningen i Asker startade 1865 två mil sydväst om Örebro i Närke. En grupp ogifta kvinnor i nära relation till Askers baptistförsamling möttes för bön, bibelläsning och samtal med tidigdemokratiska förtecken. De hade en egen vald styrelse bestående av uteslutande kvinnor. I föreningen gällde allas rätt att rösta och göra sin röst hörd i samtalen långt innan kvinnlig rösträtt genomfördes i Sverige. I sammankomsterna formulerade de själva frågor, vilka de resonerade kring och sedan nedtecknade de sina slutsatser i samtalsprotokoll. Den lokala Jungfruföreningen i Asker blir ett fönster, ett titthål in i historien. Föreningens kvarlämnade spår i form av protokoll m.m. ger en möjlighet att se in i en svunnen tid och in i en grupp frikyrkligt präglade kvinnors tänkande och livsideal. Dessa ”vanliga” unga kristna kvinnor, de flesta och för de flesta okända, konstruerade sina identiteter som kristen, kvinna och ung i en tid av samhälleliga och inte minst kyrkohistoriska förändringar. Studiens frågeställningar fokuserar på hur dessa identiteter formulerades och gestaltades och varför det skedde på detta sätt, under perioden 1865–1903.
