The loss of language in Sylvia Plath’s narrative : woman's experience and trauma in the bell jar, "Tongues of stone," and "Mothers"

Petersen, Mariana Chaves January 2017 (has links)
Inicialmente publicado em 1963 sob o pseudônimo Victoria Lucas, A redoma de vidro traz como personagem principal e narradora Esther Greenwood, a qual faz duras críticas aos papeis atribuídos às mulheres nos Estados Unidos nos anos 1950, enquanto passa por um colapso, que culmina em tentativa de suicídio. Depois de o romance ser republicado, reconhecendo a autoria de Sylvia Plath, na Inglaterra em 1966 e nos Estados Unidos em 1971, ele foi objeto de diversas leituras críticas feministas, sendo mais recente o enfoque no romance como estudo de caso. Nesta dissertação, busco estabelecer um diálogo entre essas duas abordagens, relacionando gênero, feminismo, melancolia e trauma, fundamentando-me nos escritos de teóricos como Luce Irigaray, Cathy Caruth, Sigmund Freud e Nicolas Abraham e Maria Torok. Apesar de falarem de diferentes loci, ambas Irigaray e Caruth dão especial atenção à linguagem. No romance, Esther perde sua capacidade de ler e escrever, fato que está ligado não só às suas críticas a um mundo pertencente aos homens como também a certos acontecimentos que desencadeiam essa perda. Tendo isso em mente, relaciono a narrativa a dois contos de Plath: “Línguas de Pedra” e “Mães.” O primeiro, de 1955, traz uma personagem (sem nome) em um cenário semelhante ao de A redoma de vidro: em um hospital psiquiátrico, ela apresenta dificuldades de ler e de pensar. No segundo conto, escrito em 1962, a situação da protagonista, também Esther, pode ser comparada ao presente da narrativa de A redoma de vidro; ademais, uma vez estabelecido o paralelo, a personagem do conto parece apresentar uma perda ainda mais profunda da linguagem que a protagonista do romance. / Initially published in 1963 under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas, The Bell Jar has as its protagonist and narrator Esther Greenwood, who seriously criticizes the roles attributed to women in the United States in the 1950s. At the same time, she is going through a breakdown, which culminates in a suicide attempt. After the novel was republished, under Sylvia Plath’s name, in England in 1966 and in the United States in 1971, it was the subject of several feminist critical readings, its focus as a case study being more recent. In this thesis, I aim to establish a dialogue between these two approaches, relating gender, feminism, melancholia, and trauma, grounded in the writings of theorists such as Luce Irigaray, Cathy Caruth, Sigmund Freud, and Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok. In spite of speaking from different loci, both Irigaray and Caruth give special attention to language. In the novel, Esther loses her ability to read and write, a fact that is connected not only to her critiques of a world that belongs to men but also to certain events that lead to this loss. With this in mind, I relate the narrative to two of Plath’s short stories: “Tongues of Stone” and “Mothers.” The first, from 1955, displays its main (nameless) character in a setting that is similar to The Bell Jar’s: in a psychiatric hospital, she presents difficulties to read and think. In the second story, written in 1962, the protagonist, also named Esther, is in a situation that may be compared to the narrative present of The Bell Jar; furthermore, once a parallel with the novel is established, the story’s character seems to present an even more profound loss of language than the novel’s protagonist.

Cultural Critique in a Patriarchal World : Revolutionary Suicide in Sylvia Plath's "Lady Lazarus", "Daddy" and The Bell Jar

Meneses, Sandra January 2009 (has links)
<p>This work studies three texts by Sylvia Plath: “Lady Lazarus”, “Daddy” and <em>The Bell Jar </em>from a feminist, gender and cultural perspective. I investigate how the texts take a stand regarding the motive and meaning of the representations of suicide in these works through the theoretical framework of African-American activist Huey Newton. The Black Panther party cofounder Newton redefines the concept of suicide. First and foremost he views suicide as a reaction to social conditions, coining the terms Reactionary Suicide and Revolutionary Suicide. Revolutionary Suicide is fueled by hope, when refusing to take part in any game of slave and master in society; instead of the normative view that suicide may be fueled by powerlessness and despair, as in the case of Reactionary Suicide. A feminist and gendered perspective on representations of suicide deconstructs traditional preconceptions of femininity and masculinity in the case of suicide and a normative reading: an embodiment by women and men of madness and rationality; viewing them as objects and subjects respectively. This study proposes that the representations of suicide in the texts from a cultural reading show the refusal of women to partake in a life defined by patriarchy, limiting and oppressing women’s everyday life. Suicide is seen through this unusual approach as an emptying out, a repositioning of the self through these performative suicides. Furthermore, through Revolutionary Suicide agency is claimed, with a hope for a better reality for the oppressed, in the intersection of the dichotomies of reality and utopia, literature and history, oppression and freedom. From a feminist perspective suicide is the catalyst to express social, political and cultural critique.</p>

Meilės ir mirties erosas Birutės Pūkelevičiūtės, Liūnės Sutemos ir Sylvia‘os Plath poezijoje / The Eros of Love and Death in poetry of Birutė Pūkelevičiūtė, Liūnė Sutema and Sylvia Plath‘s

Puskunigytė, Edita 17 July 2014 (has links)
Birutės Pūkelevičiūtės, Liūnės Sutemos ir Sylvia‘os Plath poezijoje meilės ir mirties eroso problematika skleidžiasi kaip ribinių patirčių ištiktis. Kūryba šios autorėms pasirodo kaip vienintelė niša, saugi sfera, kurioje kūrėjos gali jaustis laisvos, manifestuojančios, kuriančios naujus ir pertvarkančios senus archajinio pasaulio modelius. Galima teigti, kad B. Pūkelevičiūtės, Liūnė Sutemos ir S. Plath rašymas mitų ar ritualų motyvais visų pirma leidžia šių autorių kūrybą interpretuoti būtent mitopoetikos lauke. Tiriamojoje poezijoje lyrinis „Aš“ nuolat kinta dėl išorinio pasaulio moderniųjų iniciacijų: II pasaulinis karas – mirties ir prisikėlimo (naujojo „Aš“) suvoktis, emigracijos problema (Tėvynės, Dievo ilgesys, skausminga savasties būtis), meilės ištiktis (nuo kuriančios ir griaunančios aistros, meilės ir mirties eroso iki mitinio ar liturginio pasaulio kaip išeities terpės). Autorių poezijoje lyriniai subjektai – archajinio pasaulio dalis, tačiau būdami moderniajame pasaulyje ir priimdami jo taisykles – perteikia jas kaip tam tikrą koncepciją. Šios koncepcijos pagrindas – mito ir modernumo jungtis, mito perkūrimas, gamtos išjautimas ir kontempliacija kelyje tarp gėrio ir blogio principų, tarp dievui Erotui artimų stokos ir pilnatvės būsenų. B. Pūkelevičiūtės ir Liūnės Sutemos poezijoje gausu biblinių asociacijų, liturginių motyvų, kurie veikia ir kaip apsivalymo, ir kaip manifesto forma. Ambivalentiška S. Plath poezijoje lyrinis subjektas išjaučia arba savyje... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Birutė Pūkelevičiūtė, Liūnė Sutema and Sylvia Plath’s poetry unholds love and death Eros problems as a stuck of marginal experiences. Creation for the authors appears as a single niche, secure area where they can feel free, manifesting, developing new and transforming the old models of archaic world. It can be stated, that Liūnė Sutema and Sylvia Plath’s writing in myth and ritual motives in particular can be precisely interpreted as myth poetics. The lyric “I” is constantly changing due to external world of modern initiations: World War II - the death and resurrection (the new "I") realization, emigration (longing for the homeland, God, painful self – being), love struck (from developing and destructive passion, the Eros of love and death to the mythical or liturgical world as the source medium). The lyrical subjects in authors‘ poetry is the part of archaic world, but being the in modern world and accepting its rules, represent them as a certain concept. The basis of this conception is a connection between myth and modernity, the recreation of myth, the sensation of nature and contemplation on the path in between good and evil principles, amongst Erot’s conditions of lack and fullness. Birutė Pūkelevičiūtė and Liūnė Sutema’s poetry is full of biblical associations, liturgical motives which act as a cleansing and as a manifest form. In S. Plath's poetry, the lyrical subject is ambivalently bearing or sublimating the death of ‘Nietzsche God’, experiences the Nazi genocide... [to full text]

We intend to elucidate how those narratives can be read beyond the autobiographical and therefore they articulate in their formal structure a female critical view of marriage in Cold War America. Historicizing both of these short stories using alterity as mediator and following the cultural model of understanding the female literary tradition, we will semantically broaden her criticism by inserting the fragments in the History. In addition, this critical exam, by electing Plath's short prose, allows us to shed light on the overlooked scope of her ouvre. / O objetivo desta dissertação de mestrado é estudar os contos The Wishing Box e The Fifty-Ninth Bear, de Sylvia Plath, sob uma perspectiva teórica-crítica que permita observar nesses textos um diálogo com o seu contexto de produção em uma relação dialética entre forma e conteúdo, como postulada por Fredric Jameson. Desse modo, buscaremos elucidar como as duas narrativas, para além das possibilidades da leitura autobiográfica, mobilizam em sua organização formal uma visão crítica da mulher no casamento durante a Guerra Fria. Historicizando esses contos sob o código mediador da alteridade, seguindo os parâmetros do modelo cultural dos estudos de escrita de autoria feminina, ampliaremos semanticamente a fortuna crítica da artista ao inserirmos esses fragmentos no todo da História. Além disso, este exercício, ao eleger a prosa curta de Plath, permite lançar luzes ao escopo escurecido de seu trabalho artístico.
