An orgasm and an atom : performing passion and freedom in Margaret Sweatman's <i>When Alice Lay Down With Peter</i>Kunz, Brenda Mary 12 December 2006 (has links)
Margaret Sweatmans novel, <i>When Alice Lay Down With Peter</i>, plays with the British Empires adventure story and its creation of manhood. Mimicking this creative process in the Canadian Northwest, Sweatman conceives and births a womans previously erased passion back into the adventure story in a playful, erotic, and politically-charged presentation of the performing female body. Although appreciating the magic realism element to the novel (157), Nicole Markotic suggests that Sweatmans characters, like the readers, become History Tourists and are mere backdrop for the last century or so of Current Events that take precedence over their stories (156). The McCormack women, Markotic argues, have few stories other than going to war, having one momentous sex scene, giving birth (156). Indeed, Sweatmans whirlwind tour through 109 years of well-documented, and already too many times rehashed, rebellions, labour strikes, and world wars, seems to reflect this sentiment, but to limit Sweatman and her characters to only the Empires gender performative is to miss the female body performing as its own Big Bang.<p>Since a womans contingency and agency within the Empires gender performative has been vigorously debated by post modern and cultural theorists, Sweatman chooses to birth her characters into a world of/as performance. Richard Schechner, a pioneer in the field of performance theory, argues in his earlier work, Essays on Performance Theory (1977), that performance is a very inclusive notion of action, in which the performance workshop and the performance strategy of play are much more important than previously imagined (1,61). Sweatman draws on this discovery in order to free her characters to explore passion beyond Imperial and textual constraints. Four generations of McCormack women mimic, mock, and sidewind their way into, around, and beyond the Empires warring narrative and its heterosexual imperative. They are savvy, sexy, and provocative, playing simultaneously as shameless voyeurs, plagiarists, and war artists.

Previous issue date: 2003 / Resumo: Esta dissertação tem como tema a transformação da percepção do estranho na teoria social contemporânea ao longo do século xx. As abordagens do estranho na atualidade evidenciam que a exclusão social, o preconceito e a intolerância são os problemas mais agudos enfrentados pelos estranhos no mundo contemporâneo. Através de um mapeamento das abordagens de autores como Georg Simmel, Alfred SChütz, Norbert Elias e Zygmunt Bauman este trabalho mostra as variações da percepção do estranho. Nas abordagens do início do século XX, o lugar do estranho poderia ser facilmente distinguido, ao passo que as abordagens no final do século XX atestam uma generalização da condição do estranho no mundo globalizado. Simultaneamente, se constatou que as reivindicações com relação ao lugar do estranho na sociedade se deslocaram cada vez mais da questão da igualdade de direitos, para a questão do reconhecimento e da valorização das diferenças em uma sociedade crescentemente multicultural / Abstract: The subject of this thesis is the transformation of the perception of the stranger in modem social theory during the 20th century. Current approaches about the stranger show that social exclusion, prejudice and intolerance are the main challenges for strangers in our contemporary world. By mapping approaches of authors like Georg Simmel, Alfred Schütz, Norbert Elias e Zygmunt Bauman the differences of the perception of the stranger could be demonstrated, reaching from approaches at the outset of the 20th century, in which the stranger occupied a place clearly separated from society, to approaches at the end of the 20th century, which recognize a certain generalisation of the condition of the stranger in our globalised world. Simultaneously, it could be observed that claims regarding the place of strangers in society have been more and more shifted from the question of equality of rights to the question of recognition and valuation of differences in an increasingly multicultural society / Mestrado / Mestre em Ciências Sociais

Wer vertritt das Volk? Parlamente, Plebiszite, Populisten: 11. Februar 2018Lammert, Norbert 24 May 2022 (has links)
Norbert Lammert stellt mit seiner Rede 'Wer vertritt das Volk? Parlamente,
Plebiszite, Populisten' die Bedeutung demokratisch gewählter Gremien in den
Mittelpunkt seiner Überlegungen. Jede und Jeder ist für Demokratie, aber die
Erwartungen, wie politische Entscheidungen zustande kommen sollten, gehen doch
weit auseinander. Weder Regierungen noch Parlamente erfreuen sich eines besonders
hohen öffentlichen Ansehens und beinahe folgerichtig treten neben gewählten immer
häufiger auch selbsternannte Volksvertreter*innen auf.
