"The purpose of this paper is to present the life and works of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings by writing her biography with a summary of her contributions to the field of regional literature. The writer of this paper, a native Floridian, developed an interest in Mrs. Rawlings and her works because of Mrs. Rawlings's importance as a Florida novelist and the local settings of her novels and short stories. He has attempted to present an overall picture of the life of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings in relation to her literary works dealing basically with her novels and short stories"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1954." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Agnes Gregory, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 39-43).

Eudora Welty's short story "Flowers for Marjorie" appears in A Curtain of Green and Other Stories, her first volume of collected stories published in 1941. Since the story's publication, literary scholars have interpreted the protagonist's murder of his wife, and the unusual events that follow, in terms of somatic realities that inform the text. This thesis is a psychoanalytic rereading/rewriting of "Flowers for Maijorie" that attempts to analyze its text as a possible dream narrative. By psychoanalytically rereading/rewriting the narrative in this story as a possible dream narrative, this thesis will attempt to demonstrate how the reader might experientially break through its previous resistance to interpretation, which should encourage a better understanding of the story's narrative ambiguities. The originality of this examination lies in its detailed analysis of the story's text from a psychoanalytic economy, thus providing perhaps the most detailed analysis of its text to date.

Informe de Seminario de grado para optar al Grado de Licenciada en Lengua y Literatura Hispánica / Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades / El siguiente trabajo tiene por objeto analizar cuentos de escritores de ascendencia árabe y judía que se han establecido durante años en Chile y exponen en su obra la situación del migrante: individuo situado entre la tradición cultural de su origen y el establecimiento en la cultura latinoamericana y chilena en particular Estos cruces entre la biografía de los autores y el desarrollo de sus temáticas en los cuentos que han creado, permite pensar, y así lo ha hecho una abundante crítica frente a su obra, en que hay mucho de ellos mismos presente en los personajes de sus relatos. Con frecuencia resulta difícil no relacionar a las protagonistas de lo cuentos de Las Alfareras1, de la escritora de origen judío Marjorie Agosín, con su autora, puesto que sus obras autobiográficas nos dan claras señales de que las vivencias de sus narradoras son las propias de la escritora, a saber, la infancia de una niña judía en Chile que experimenta las problemáticas de su tradición semita con la idiosincrasia de este país, o la revelación de un sentirse desarraigado por parte del sujeto, puesto que de tanto migrar no logra establecer sus raíces en ninguna parte

[pt] Essa dissertação versa sobre a atuação no estado do Rio de Janeiro da Escola de Formação Crítica Majorie Machi (EFCMM), projeto criado pelo Grupo Conexão G de Cidadania LGBT para Moradores de Favelas e a construção de uma nova gramática de acesso a direitos a partir dessa Escola. A EFCMM foi pensada para capacitar mulheres trans e travestis periféricas, sobretudo negras, acerca de pautas como o enfrentamento ao racismo e a promoção da cidadania LGBTTQIAP+. O objetivo deste trabalho foi refletir sobre como a metodologia desenvolvida pela Escola rompe com o epistemicídio jurídico e cria uma nova gramática de acesso a direitos, enquanto disputa narrativas hegemônicas. Com base na ética pajubariana e na inspiração cartográfica, foi utilizado o método de Investigação Ação Participante, com a realização de entrevistas, e a análise de narrativa para interpretação dos dados levantados. Essa pesquisa desafiou a formalidade acadêmica e jurídica ao propor uma escrita que misturasse bases teóricas junto a relatos pessoais do diário de campo, utilizando canais pouco convencionais de enunciação da fala, como a música e a fotografia. Por meio da experiência com duas turmas da Escola de Formação Crítica Majorie Machi, no Complexo do Alemão e em Duque de Caxias, e do conhecimento e aproximação com as sujeitas de pesquisa, as onze alunas da turma de Duque de Caxias e as educadoras populares, essa pesquisa foi traçada. A lente teórica eleita foi a perspectiva decolonial, tendo privilegiado autoras trans e travestis brasileiras, ao lado das sujeitas de pesquisa situadas como protagonistas epistêmicas. Já no campo jurídico, o direito se situa como ferramenta do Contrato Racial, ressaltando a exclusão das sujeitas de pesquisa do seu âmbito de proteção. Ao final, foi demonstrado o potencial transformador e emancipatório que representa a atuação política da EFCMM por meio das experiências concretas das sujeitas que atravessam esse trabalho. / [en] This dissertation is about the work in the state of Rio de Janeiro of the The Marjorie Marchi School of Critical Education and the TRANSformation in access torights (EFCMM), a project created by the Conexão G Group for LGBT Citizenship for Favela Residents, and the construction of a new grammar of access to rights based on this school. The EFCMM was designed to strengthen peripheral trans women and transvestites, especially black women, widening their knowledge and defense resources on issues such as racism and LGBTTQIAP+ citizenship. The aim of this work was to reflect on how the methodology developed by the School breaks with legal epistemicide and creates new strategies for access to rights, simultaneously disputing hegemonic narratives. Based on Pajubarian ethics and with cartographic inspiration, the Participatory Action Research method was used to conduct interviews, and narrative analysis was used to interpret the data collected. This research challenged academic and legal formality by proposing a writing that mixed theoretical bases with personal field diary accounts, using unconventional channels of speech enunciation, such as music and photography. It was through my experience with two classes at the Majorie Machi Critical Training School, in Complexo do Alemão and Duque de Caxias, and through getting to know the research subjects, the eleven students in the Duque de Caxias class and the popular educators, that this research was designed. The theoretical lens chosen was the decolonial perspective, favoring Brazilian trans and transvestite authors, alongside the research subjects situated as epistemic protagonists. In the legal field, the law is situated as a tool ofthe Racial Contract, highlighting the exclusion of the research subjects from its scope of protection. In the end, the transformative and emancipatory potential of the EFCMM s political action was demonstrated through the concrete experiences of the subjects who are central to this work.

The problem with which this thesis is concerned is the relationship between literature and politics. By means of a biographical and historical study two significant writers of the 1930s/40s I examine the ways in which the pressures of Depression, the threat of fascism and the onset of war influenced Australian writing. In particular, I ask whether the political issues of the period affected what these authors wrote and how they wrote it. My conclusion is that pressure of political concern caused significant personal, philosophical and political changes in Barnard and Davison, and that it affected both the genre in which they wrote and the content of their fiction. They turned from fiction to cultural commentary, historical writing, political pamphleteering and activism. They utilised short fiction as a means of discussing their worries about the state of the world and in order to promote values they felt threatened. When they returned to longer fiction their work bore, to differing degrees, in its ideas, arguments and imagery, the influence of their political engagement. More generally, I conclude that liberal humanism was the major animating philosophy of writers in the 1930s and that their concern with political issues grew from their conviction that western liberal democracy was the most fruitful soil for the production of art, a climate of freedom which they felt threatened by both fascism and war. This anxiety is the most important factor in both their politicisation and the work they did under the latter???s influence.
