Introduction To Emf 11: The Cloister And The World, Thomas M. Carr Jan 2007

Introduction To Emf 11: The Cloister And The World, Thomas M. Carr

French Language and Literature Papers

Early modern nuns seem poles apart from women in the West today. They strove after an ideal of perfection that stressed humility, intellectual simplicity, asceticism, and submission that is the opposite of the autonomy and empowerment the contemporary feminist movement proposes for women. Even during the Ancien Régime nuns were isolated from their own society by the Council of Trent's revitalization of clausura. To modern eyes, the cloistered nun epitomizes a hierarchical church that cut a woman off from her own society, leaving her little initiative or voice. However, a burgeoning number of books and articles published in the …


A Checklist Of Published Writings In French By Early Modern Nuns, Thomas M. Carr Jan 2007

A Checklist Of Published Writings In French By Early Modern Nuns, Thomas M. Carr

French Language and Literature Papers

The great amount of writing by early modern nuns that was published during the Ancien Régime is underexploited because no master list of it exists.

Miguel Hernández, Lacan Y La Búsqueda Del Yo Poético, Jose M. Davila-Montes

Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications

La obra del poeta español Miguel Hernández (1910-1942) se estudia a menudo bajo la marcada influencia de su impactante biografía. Este artículo propone un análisis del yo poético de este autor mediante el sometimiento de algunos de sus poemas «marginales» al constructo psicoanalítico de Jacques Lacan (1901-1981). Así, se intenta someter a escrutinio la constitución del yo poético del autor mediante la selección de un número reducido, mas representativo, de conceptos lacanianos y la aplicación de éstos a una serie de poemas que no suelen considerarse «capitales» en la producción de hernandiana, todo ello bajo el principio psicoanalítico de la …
