The term “phantom limb” is used to describe the phenomenal tingling sensation that occurs in the nerve endings of an amputated limb; though the limb is no longer physically attached to the body, the person experiences pain and physical sensation in the space the limb once occupied. Though the body part has been removed, it haunts both the body and the brain. It is through this metaphor that I am interested in investigating the connection between the disembodied and the embodied. The disembodied connects to the embodied through the loss or lack of a bodily form; the embodied, therefore, links the disembodied to movements and mannerisms of the body. Adopting Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice, I define manner as a fluctuating force that operates as a spectrum. Manner links, rather than separates, the internal and the external through the social. In other words, the interplay between the internal and external must be socially interpreted in order to be understood as manner. The first chapter of my thesis will focus on embodied manner and use Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as a case study to explain how society impacts the construction of normative manner. Building off Jack Halberstam, I adopt the theory that Mr. Hyde “is both a sexual secret, the secret of Jekyll’s undignified desires, and a visible representation of physical otherness” (82). My argument focuses on the connection between the “deformity hidden within” Mr. Hyde and that “inscribed upon his...skin” that Utterson, Enfield and Lanyon struggle to identify (82). The second chapter of my thesis will focus on how manner operates as both a disciplinary force and cultural haunting. In other words, just as the phantom limb reproduces a distorted version of the lost limb, the social control of manner ultimately reproduces imperfect replicas. In George Eliot’s The Lifted Veil, the protagonist, Latimer, begins suffering from visions after he parts ways with his dear friend Charles Meunier. Here, the unconscious operates at the individual level; I argue that these “visions” are the result of an implosion of Latimer’s repressed sexuality. I then turn to Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper to argue that manner operates as a type of social law that attempts to stave off haunting but instead inadvertently reproduces it. In this section, I argue that the narrator’s secondary status as a female character gives her a different kind of agency from Mr. Hyde and Latimer, and that her husband’s ultimate failure to control her results in a type of queer production that calls into question the dialectical relationship between haunting and manner.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman, une femme de lettres du XIXe siècle, a bien failli perdre, complètement et à jamais, sa capacité d'écrire au terme de traitements inappropriés pour sa dépression. Elle rédige un récit autobiographique et dénonciateur qui illustre son combat contre la science et la société de son époque. À la fin du récit, la narratrice, quoique anéantie, refuse de se soumettre et continue désespérément d'aller de l'avant. C'est une fin qui suggère, même au XIXe siècle, qu'elle (la femme, la Nature) avait raison, et que le médecin (l'homme, la Culture) avait tort. Au XXe siècle, Martine Desjardins reprend cette histoire sous forme de fiction. Notre étude comparative des deux oeuvres repose sur l'hypothèse principale selon laquelle Desjardins s'est largement inspirée du récit de Gilman pour rédiger son roman. De fait, les deux oeuvres, La Chambre au papier peint (1892) et Le Cercle de Clara (1997), l'une inspirée d'une histoire réelle et l'autre présentée comme imaginaire mais fort probablement inspirée de la première, racontent sensiblement la même histoire. Pourquoi une femme du XXe siècle a-t-elle choisi de réécrire cette histoire en disant « je » à son tour? En quoi le « je » d'une femme du XIXe siècle peut-il trouver écho chez celui d'une femme moderne? Et, comment, par l'écriture, la femme peut-elle exorciser ses souffrances et reconquérir son identité? Le premier chapitre de ce travail traite de la mise sous silence des femmes au XIXe siècle. Le second dresse le portrait de Charlotte Perkins Gilman et présente son récit autobiographique, puis le troisième porte sur la parole que les femmes ont reconquise au XXe siècle et met de l'avant les ressemblances et les différences entre les textes en mettant l'accent sur la modernité et le féminisme de l'oeuvre de Desjardins. Desjardins a rédigé son roman en hommage aux femmes qui ont donné leur corps et leur âme à la société pour permettre à celles d'aujourd'hui de pouvoir publier. Le « je » individuel de Gilman est donc, aujourd 'hui plus que jamais, collectif. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Féminisme, Écriture, XIXe siècle, Hystérie.

However, during the processing of these products undergo changes in quality characteristics. Research on biopolymers used as edible films applied to minimally processed fruits aims to improve the characteristics of the products during storage without interfering with the target goal of processing, which is conditional minimal damage to the product to resemble the fruit in natura. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop an edible coating to the base of the cashew tree gum and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) added trans-cinnamaldehyde to maintain the characteristics of the variety ‘Formosa’ papaya (Carica papaya L.) minimally processed and stored under temperature cooled (8 + 20 ° C) for 15 days. To do so, was acquired ‘Formosa’ papaya fruit (Carica papaya L.) in the Chapada do Apodi, Limoeiro do Norte – CE, these were minimally processed in a cold chamber in Embrapa Agroindústria Tropical, in step coating the fruits termed as control were immersed in mineral water and fruit termed as coated were immersed in the solution of cashew gum and carboxymethylcellulose added trans-cinnamaldehyde. It was conducted every 05 days (0,5,10 and 15 days) chemical analysis and physico-chemical analysis of bioactive compounds (vitamin C, flavonoids, anthocyanins and total carotenoids), total antioxidant activity, total soluble polyphenols, and Enzyme analyzes of cell wall degradation (pectin methylesterase and polygalacturonase.). As a result, it was observed that the coating did not cause changes in the observed quality characteristics, except strength. Coated fruits had a reduction in the activity of Polygalacturonase acting on the rigidity of the cell wall. Occurred also maintained the antioxidant compounds, with the exception of ascorbic acid to the end of storage decreased when / Os frutos minimamente processados vêm atender a necessidade de consumidores que apreciam produtos com características sensoriais próximas ao in natura, livres de aditivos químicos, prontos para o consumo e com qualidade. No entanto, durante o processamento esses produtos sofrem mudanças nas suas características de qualidade. As pesquisas com biopolímeros usados como filmes comestíveis aplicados aos frutos minimamente processados objetiva melhorar as características desses produtos durante o armazenamento sem interferir no objetivo alvo do processamento, que é condicionar o mínimo de danos ao produto para assemelhar-se aos frutos in natura. Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um revestimento comestível á base de Goma do Cajueiro e de Carboximetilcelulose (CMC) adicionado de trans-cinamaldeído para a manutenção das características de mamões da variedade Formosa (Carica Papaia L) minimamente processados e armazenados sob temperatura de refrigeração (8 + 20 C) durante 15 dias. Para tanto, adquiriu-se frutos de Mamão Formosa (Carica Papaia L) na Chapada do Apodi, Limoeiro do Norte – CE, estes foram processados minimamente em câmara fria na Embrapa Agroindústria Tropical – Laboratório de Pós-colheita, na etapa de revestimento os frutos denominados como Controle foram imersos em água mineral, e os frutos denominados como revestidos foram imersos na Solução de Goma do Cajueiro e Carboximetilcelulose adicionado de trans-cinamaldeído. Efetuou-se a cada 05 dias (0,5,10 e 15 dias) análises químicas e físico-químicas, análise de compostos bioativos (Vitamina C, flavanóides, antocianinas totais e carotenoides totais), atividade antioxidante total, polifenóis solúveis totais; e análises de enzimas de degradação da parede celular (Pectinametilesterase e Poligalacturonase.). Como resultado, observou-se que o revestimento não promoveu mudanças nas características de qualidade observadas, com exceção da firmeza. Os frutos revestidos tiveram uma redução na atividade da Poligalacturonase que atua sobre a rigidez da parede celular. Ocorreu também uma manutenção dos compostos antioxidantes, com exceção do ácido ascórbico que ao final do armazenamento decresceu quando comparado ao controle. Podemos concluir que o revestimento manteve a vida de prateleira do produto por 10 dias, conservando as características funcionais e a atividade da Poligalacturonase.

The tale tells the story of a woman cloistered in a colonial mansion by her husband, who is a doctor, because of her supposed propensity for hysteria. In the seclusion, she notices other women stuck to the wallpaper of the room in which she is staying. By this movement, she writes in a diary to deal with her anxieties, yearnings and feelings, while deciphering the pattern of the yellow wallpaper. It is a literary corpus and through it we understand that historical and social practices produce the subjectivity of the narrator-character. We base ourselves on Discourse Analysis as descriptive-interpretative and analytical support, based mainly on the following foucaultian notions: knowledge/power relations, objectivation/ subjectivation and freedom practices, madness, self-care, self-writing, resistance, desubjectivation. The study is structured in three chapters: in the first, we present the story and its author, gather academic research about the story, point out some elements of the fantastic literature observed in it; in the second, we discuss the theoretical-methodological framework, analyze knowledge/power relations in the constitution of the madness in the story; in the third, we explore freedom and self-care practices employed by the narrator-character, evidencing processes of desubjectivation that deprive her identity and place her before new possibilities of existence. Therefore, in this process of Foucault's discursive analysis, we reflect about the subject- positions assumed by the narrator-character, the discursive practices in which it inserts itself and is inserted, the effects of knowledge/power incident on its (dis)constitution as subject and the ruptures of patterns and roles imposed. We understand that the subjects constitute themselves and are constituted in and by the discourses of a given historical and social conjuncture, in addition to breaking with the imposed standards, the subjects transgress social norms, resist knowledge/power relations and, when desubjecting themselves from the standard model imposed upon them, they produce new subjectivities, reinvent themselves into something which is yet to come. This was the movement of resistance built by the narrator-character, the protagonist of the narrative under study. / A presente pesquisa tem como proposta analisar o processo de constituição discursiva da subjetividade da narradora-personagem do conto O papel de parede amarelo, de Charlotte Perkins Gilman. O conto narra a história de uma mulher enclausurada em uma mansão colonial por seu marido, que é médico, em decorrência da suposta propensão dela à histeria. Na reclusão, ela percebe outras mulheres presas ao papel de parede do quarto em que está hospedada. Por esse movimento, escreve em um diário para lidar com suas angústias, anseios e sentimentos, ao passo que decifra o padrão do papel de parede amarelo. Trata-se de um corpus literário e por meio dele entendemos que as práticas históricas e sociais produzem a subjetividade da narradora-personagem. Fundamentamo-nos na Análise do Discurso enquanto suporte descritivo-interpretativo e analítico, pautados, sobretudo, nas seguintes noções foucaultianas: relações de saber-poder, práticas de objetivação/subjetivação e de liberdade, loucura, cuidado de si, escrita de si, resistência, dessubjetivação. O estudo se estrutura em três capítulos: no primeiro, apresentamos o conto e sua autora, reunimos pesquisas acadêmicas sobre o conto, apontamos alguns elementos da literatura fantástica observados nele; no segundo, discutimos o arcabouço teórico-metodógico, analisamos relações de saber-poder na constituição da loucura no conto; no terceiro, exploramos práticas de liberdade e de cuidados de si empregadas pela narradora-personagem, evidenciando processos de dessubjetivação que destituem a identidade dela e a coloca diante de novas possibilidades de existência. Portanto, nesse processo de análise discursiva foucaultiana, refletimos sobre as posições-sujeito assumidas pela narradora-personagem, as práticas discursivas nas quais ela se inscreve e é inscrita, os efeitos do saber-poder incidentes na (des)constituição dela enquanto sujeito e nas rupturas de padrões e papeis impostos. Apreendemos que os sujeitos se constituem e são constituídos nos e pelos discursos de dada conjuntura histórica e social, além de que, ao romper com os padrões impostos, os sujeitos transgridem normas sociais, resistem a relações de saber-poder e, ao dessubjetivar-se do modelo padrão que lhes é imposto, produzem novas subjetividades, reinventam-se em um devir. Foi esse o movimento de resistência construído pela narradora-personagem, a protagonista da narrativa em estudo.

We  are  heading  into  a  world  that  is  becoming  more  and  more  digital.  In  the  future  markets,  customers   will   demand   that   some   sort   of   technical  support  is  available  when  they  make  purchases.   This   put   a   big   responsibility   on   companies  that  have  to  satisfy  that  need.  The  wallpaper  industry  has  not  incorporated  many  efficient  support  tools  to  facilitate  the  product  selection at Swedish retailers. This results in that customers  experience  many  issues  when  they  search for new wallpapers. Through a needfinding process, where customers   were   observed   at   retailers,   eight   primary  customer  needs  could  be  established  in  the  project.  These  were  ranked  after  their  relative   importance.   The   results   showed   that   the  most  important  needs  to  satisfy  was  to  give  customer’s  inspiration  and  help  them  visualize  wallpapers  in  environments.  In  two  workshops,  around  100  ideas  on  how  a  system  that  could  satisfy  these  needs  was  generated  in  a  number  of brainstorming sessions. These ideas were then culled   with   various   evaluation   methods   such   as  rating  matrixes,  inventory  methods  and  by  clustering the ideas. At the end of the evaluation process,  four  concepts  remained  with  different  levels of technical demands and implementation requirements.  The  decision  of  which  concept  that was going to be further developed was then made by Midbec. The final system is a service that allows customer to   visualize   chosen   wallpapers   in   a   digital   environment.  The  system  contains  a  screen  with  a connected hand scanner that will be integrated in  Midbec’s  store  interior  and  QR-barcodes  that  is  applied  to  each  wallpaper.  When  a  barcode  is  decoded,  either  with  the  scanner  or  with  a  smartphone, the user connects to Midbec’s newly developed   online   wallpaper   tool   where   the   wallpaper can be seen in different environments. The   benchmarking   showed   that   no   studies   of    effective    wallpaper    displays    has    been    made.  Several  areas  where  new  systems  can  be   implemented   to   support   customers   and   promote  wallpapers  more  effectively  was  found  throughout  the  process.  This  means  that  there  are many possibilities to develop and implement new  designs  in  the  industry.  As  a  conclusion,  this  project  showed  that  a  needfinding  process  should  focus  on  incorporating  the  user  to  the  highest possible level to ensure that reliable data is collected. Another conclusion is that customers experience   many   different   issues   in   today’s   wallpaper  selection  process.  Again,  this  shows  that  there  is  potential  to  develop  systems  that  can improve today’s wallpaper industry. / Vi går mot en värld som blir allt mer digital. I den framtida marknaden kommer kunder kräva att något sorts tekniskt  hjälpmedel  finns  tillhands  när  de  gör  sina  inköp.  Detta  ställer  krav  på  företagen  som  måste  tillfredsställa  det  behovet.  Tapetindustrin har inte integrerat många     effektiva  verktyg  för  att  underlätta  produktvalet  hos  svenska  återförsäljare.  Detta  resulterar  i  att  kunderna  upplever  många  svårigheter  när  de  letar efter nya tapeter. Genom en behovsidentifieringsprocess,    där    kunder  observerades  hos  återförsäljare,  kunde  åtta  primära  kundbehov  fastställas  i  projektet.  Dessa  rankades  efter  deras  relativa  betydelse.  Resultatet  visade  att  de  viktigast  behoven  att  tillfredsställa  är  att  ge  kunderna  inspiration  och  hjälpa  de  att  visualisera  tapeter  i  miljöer.  I  två  workshops genererades cirka 100 idéer i ett antal brainstorming  sessioner  på  hur  ett  system  som  tillfredsställer dessa behov kan se ut. Dessa idéer sorterades sedan med olika utvärderingsmetoder som     betygsmatriser,     inventerings     metoder     och  genom  att  gruppera  idéerna.  I  slutet  av  utvärderingsprocessen   återstod   fyra   koncept   med olika grad av tekniska och implementerings krav.   Beslutet   om   viket   koncept   som   skulle   vidareutvecklas togs sedan av Midbec. Det  slutgiltiga  systemet  är  en  tjänst  som  tillåter  kunderna att visualisera valda tapeter i en digital miljö.   Systemet   inkluderar   en   skärm   med   en   tillhörande   handskanner   som   är   integrerad   i   Midbec’s   butiksmiljö   samt   QR-koder   som   är   applicerade  på  varje  tapet.  När  en  kod  avläses,  antigen med skannern eller med en smartphone, kopplas     användaren     till     Midbec’s     nyligen     framtagna onlinetjänst där tapeten kan ses i olika miljöer. Förstudien  visade  att  inga  tidigare  studier  på  effektiva  tapetskyltningar  har  genomförts.  Flera  områden   där   nya   system   kan   implementeras   för  att  stödja  kunderna  och  framhäva  tapeter  mer  effektivt  framkom  under  projektet.  Detta  betyder   att   det   finns   många   möjligheter   för   att  utveckla  och  implementera  nya  designer  i  branschen.  Som  en  slutsats  visade  detta  projekt  att      en      behovsidentifieringsprocess      borde      inkludera  användaren  så  mycket  som  möjligt  för  att  säkerställa  att  tillförlitliga  data  samlas  in.  Ännu  en  slutsats  är  att  kunder  upplever  många  olika   svårigheter   i   dagens   tapetvalsprocess.   Återigen visar detta på att det finns potential för att utveckla nya system som kan förbättra dagens tapetbransch.

In 1890, Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote a piece of fiction that reflected her personal experience for treatment of nervous exhaustion. The story she developed created controversy and comment after it was published and, years later, agitation among feminists who found allegories of truth in its narrative. This thesis explores the use of linguistic features employed by Gilman to establish cognitive connections between physical structures and social institutions, such as marriage and domesticity, that confine women within contractual obligations. Gilman’s use of extended metaphor challenges conventional conceptions of the home, inanimate objects, and institutional authority and her use of metonymy extrapolates examples from the particular to a wider review. The main findings of this inquiry reveal feminist opposition to women’s subjugated status in the marital relationship and to established hierarchies of male control. The literary analysis exposes the efficacy of narrative gap and textual silences in provoking the reader’s participation.

This thesis details the literary and visual influences in my work, the definition of American Gothic, and its connection it to my work. Literary sources such as Edgar Allan Poe and Fanny Kemble help spark a vision of the landscape. Visual influences include Japanese woodblock prints, scenic wallpapers, vintage postcards and Victorian mourning pictures. My regional explorations span the James River, Tidewater swamps and architecture within the city of Richmond.My work depicts local history and ecology inspired by Richmond and the surrounding region. Subtle Gothic elements add anxiety to the otherwise pastoral scenes. Gothic foreboding in the work questions our ecological future and the permanence of our human presence in the landscape.
