Traducción, El Cuerpo Y La Sombra. Jane: A Murder De Maggie Nelson, Sylvia F. Aguilar Zéleny
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Maggie Nelson publicó Jane: A Murder en 2005 y en él se reconstruye la historia en torno a Jane Mixer. Jane fue la tercera de siete víctimas de un asesino en serie a finales de los años 60. Jane, además, era tía materna de la autora. Este libro investiga la figura de Jane sin Jane. Maggie Nelson lo escribió preguntándose ¿puede una colección de pequeños poemas líricos contar la historia de un terrible asesinato? Mi premisa es: quiero traducir esta serie de pequeños poemas líricos bajo la declaración de que un caso como el de Jane Mixer continúa ocurriendo en …

My Mother's Daughter, Monica Vanessa Martinez
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
In order to address the way the Chicano culture attempts to silence its women, My Mother's Daughter is a collection of short stories narrated by Chicanas. The collection uses the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters to highlight the conflicts that lead to the silencing of Chicanas. The collection attempts to challenge this silencing by utilizing the first person perspective to give a voice to these traditionally silenced women. Another literary technique employed is the use of dramatic irony. With multiple first person narrators in the same story the collection uses dramatic irony as a way of playing up the …

Evolución EstilíStica De La Expresión Del Sufrimiento En La PoesíA De Alfonsina Storni, Jesus Eduardo Morales
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
La presente investigación se propone superar dos obstáculos que afectan la crítica literaria sobre Alfonsina Storni: el estigma de su poesía como "escritura de (y para) mujeres" y la interpretación de su obra desde su mitificada biografía.
¿Cómo abordar la obra de Storni con una metodología que la revalorice, cuando la perspectiva de género y la exactitud biográfica han agotado ya sus posibilidades? La respuesta se halla en un abordaje de tipo estilístico que dé luz sobre el proceso evolutivo por el cual pasa la elaboración lírica. Sin embargo para la puesta en práctica de tal método, es obligado encontrar …

Taboo Lexeme Conditioning And Obscenities In American English, Alexander Werny
Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
Taboo Lexeme Conditioning refers to the neurological, psychological, and sociological conditioning required during lexical acquisition for a native speaker to treat or experience certain lexemes as highly taboo. Taboo words differentiate both neurologically from non-emotional or non-taboo lexemes, and lexically person to person, in at least 4 ways: 1) they exhibit high activity in the emotional and moral processing structures of the limbic system, and can activate, or be uttered, independently of cortical structures involved in propositional language processing; 2) they generally receive a high amount of negative emotional response during lexical acquisition and subsequent usage, which affects how they …

Modes Of Dislocation: Jewishness And Deafness In Elizabeth Bowen, Maren Linett
Department of English Faculty Publications
Late in her life, Anglo-Irish novelist and short story writer Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) wondered why critics did not focus more on place in her writing: “Am I not manifestly a writer for whom places loom large?” (Pictures and Conversations 34). Bowen’s powerful concern with location was animated by the instability of her personal life and the life of her century. She felt dislocated by her father’s mental illness and his voluntary incarceration; by her flight to England with her mother at the age of seven; by their peripatetic life in multiple houses and towns; and most of all, by her …

Blindness And Intimacy In Early Twentieth-Century Literature, Maren Linett
Department of English Faculty Publications
This essay traces an association between blindness and intimacy in J.M. Synge’s The Well of the Saints, Florence Barclay’s The Rosary, and D.H. Lawrence’s “The Blind Man,” suggesting that the association participates in an early twentieth-century devaluation of vision and stems from beliefs about knowledge and communication.

Deconstructing The Supernatural In Shakespeare's Macbeth,

Utah State University
Deconstructing The Supernatural In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Britney Marler
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
Of all Shakespeare's tragedies, Macbeth is by far the most supernaturally charged. The play opens with three witches who give Macbeth and Banquo a prediction that lays out the plot of the rest of the play. Macbeth sees a phantom dagger, hears voices, and is haunted by the ghost of his murdered comrade. The vast amount of supernatural events comes as no surprise considering that Shakespeare almost certainly wrote the play as a tribute to King James I, the British monarch whose belief in the power of witchcraft ran so deep that he led several witchhunts throughout Britain, in addition …

The Epitome And Portrait Of Modern Society: Ouida As Social Barometer Of The Victorian Era, Lorraine Michelle Dubuisson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Victorian Era was one of great social flux; tremendous advances in science and technology called into question deeply held religious beliefs while the changing legal status of women threatened to undermine traditional views of gender roles. Industrialization and the driving economic force of capitalism led to rapid urbanization as well as contributing to shifting class boundaries. In addition, the purpose and responsibilities of the Artist/Poet and, indeed, of art itself were closely scrutinized and hotly contested. Most frequently, historians and scholars of literature have looked to authors such as Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Oscar Wilde, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson …
