Este artigo tem como objetivo esquadrinhar as relações do escritor britânico Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) com os seus leitores vitorianos. Ao traçar os perfis desses leitores, busca-se analisar não apenas as práticas de leitura vigentes na sociedade britânica oitocentista, mas também delinear as condições e as dinâmicas de produção, circulação e recepção dos romances vitorianos serializados em periódicos. Trata-se, portanto, de pensar a escrita ficcional para além das normativas internas da obra literária, ao não perder de vista e trazer para o plano investigativo a importância do papel desempenhado pela materialidade dos suportes de veiculação textual ao longo do processo de construção e de significação da narrativa. É a partir dessa triangulação entre escrita, diretrizes de publicação e experiências de leitura que história e literatura se interseccionam neste estudo.

Written for screen by one of the greatest English dramatists and Nobel Laureate, Harold Pinter and directed by Karel Reisz, the film The French Lieutenant’s Woman, appearing in 1981, is the cinematic adaptation of John Fowles’ novel by the same name that created ripples in the literary circles in 1969. Keeping in with the appreciation of the novel, the cinematic version of The French Lieutenant’s Woman too continued to capture the imagination of the classes and the masses alike bagging several prestigious awards. The proposed paper intends to study all these variegated shades and designs that further intensify the experimental spirit of the film. Focusing on the movie within the movie that imbues the cinematic adaptation of the novel with a quintessential Pinteresque intensity, the paper explores in depth the subtle nuances offered for intellectual probing through the ingeniously contrived sub-plot. Running as a subtle counterfoil to the main plot of Sarah and Charles, the tempestuo...

Three generations of women creators of Georgian cinema belonging to the same family, the Gogoberidze family, will form the basis for this research, which aims to explore the notion of female genealogy through a multimodal ethnography. What type of memories does this female genealogy shape and how is it shaped by them? My research combines bibliographical research, interviews, and film analysis. By doing so, I examine how family memories as story-telling cross different expressive media and bridge generations by postulating the role of affective memory as key factor for the formation this genealogy. In addition to that, I pinpoint to the fact of the creative resignification of genealogy as part of these women's engagement with cinema but also the social struggles of their times (feminism, anti-Russian politics, etc.).

During the last decade, a new interest in George Sand has prompted a number of interesting sociological, biographical, and psychological studies. 1 Although a few articles have focused on detailed textual aspects of Sand's work, 2 much more needs to be done to assess her specifically literary achievement. In this textual study of the placement and semantic content of physical description in Indiana, 3 my aim is to show that Sand is worthy of the close attention received by such major writers as Haubert. Through references to that author's Madame Bovary, published twenty-five years after Indiana, I will suggest some of the ways in which Sand's descriptive practices intersected, prefigured, and perhaps even influenced those of her celebrated friend and correspondent. An examination of placement of descriptions 4 in Indiana reveals, on the one hand, the complexity of Sand's achievement, and, on the other, striking similarities with Flaubert's own descriptions. Her achievement lies in that, not only does she use the descriptive codes available at the time, as established by Balzac and other novelists earlier in the century, but she also breaks out of these codes in ways which shed a new and striking light on the major female characters. First, classical portraits 5 are kept to a minimum and reserved for

In Queer Temporality and Postmodern Geographies, author and academic Judith Halberstam draws a point of comparison between critic Samuel R. Delany's study of sexual space and Halberstam's own theoretical framework of queer time and space. One continuity that Halberstam notes is how "queers use time and space in ways that challenge conventional logics of development, maturity, adulthood, and responsibility" (Halberstam 13). This spatial and temporal notion represents a bold demarche towards rectifying the vapid "postmodern" label, one which many scholars believed had all but lost its meaning. Yet, Delaney and Halberstam's redress of postmodernity to address the distinctly queer lacuna were not left at theoretical ponderings. Through the works of their contemporaries, the implications of queer postmodernity in arts and media were exemplified, most stirringly through French director Celine Sciamma's Water Lilies (2007), a sapphic spin on the classic coming-of-age story.

Tarkovsky, grande cineasta russo dos anos 60 a 80 do século XX, definia cinema como "o tempo em forma de facto". Para ele, a captação dos acontecimentos através da expressão cinematográfica, equivalia a um modo de "esculpir o tempo", de dar forma e corpo à experiência da temporalidade, de fixar o tempo nos seus índices perceptíveis pelos sentidos (Tarkovsky, 1996: 63ss.). Ao tomar como ponto de partida deste trabalho uma obra de Virginia Woolf, para quem a expressão do tempo era dimensão essencial da escrita literária, o principal desafio que se coloca é o de procurar verificar como é que a experiência subjectiva da temporalidade, tão cara a Woolf, se manifestou na transposição do seu romance Mrs. Dalloway para o cinema. Tal verificação implica a abordagem de alguns dos principais conceitos que estão em causa quando se considera o fenómeno da chamada "adaptação cinematográfica", entre os quais gostaria de destacar os conceitos de intertextualidade e de tradução, abordando-os segundo uma perspectiva que coloque em discussão aspectos como a passagem da dimensão conceptual da literatura à dimensão perceptual do cinema, a questão do ponto de vista dos dois diferentes meios de expressão e a problemática da narratividade, enquanto estrutura temporal.

The paper focuses on two cinematic productions set in the 1920s and 1930s: an episode of the British TV series Downton Abbey and the British comedy-drama Hyde Park on Hudson. Both works focus on a juxtaposition of the British and the Americans, playing with similar stereotypes which gained popularity a century earlier. The paper analyzes both productions, comparing them to the discourse of nineteenth-century travel writing about the USA, which, arguably, is a genre best depicting Anglo-American preconceptions of the time. Despite using elements of the same language both films seem to favor different sides of the Transatlantic conflict. The paper argues, however, that while Hyde Park presents Americans as the victors in the cultural rivalry, Downton's message is less unequivocal.

The leading ladies of The French Lieutenant's Woman: Miss Ernestina Freeman and Miss Sarah Woodruff are set to live at a time when upper class women were all supposed to fit the same naïve, submissive, virtuous and sensual mould of the perfect Victorian woman. This thesis endeavours to demonstrate that Ernestina and Sarah's personalities and characters were formed a great deal by their upbringing, experiences and social status, rather than having been predetermined by their "feminine nature." In fact, many of the supposed "feminine qualities" come quite unnaturally to them. However, their different upbringing and prospects shape them from an early age and make the ladies develop some different, socially acceptable, characteristics. Ernestina has always been destined to become the wife of a rich, titled man, and therefore she has been taught, her whole life, to behave properly in society, to check her wit and stubbornness, and to take good care of her appearance. Sarah, on the other hand, was always destined to become a governess, which is why she developes a lonely, independent character, and pays very little attention to her appearance. Other aspects of their nature, such as their sensuality and intelligence, have also been suppressed by their environment. Victorian women were supposed to appear sensual, but be completely innocent at the same time. Both of the ladies experience sexual desire, however, proving that it is completely natural. The novels male protagonist, Charles, the person through whom much about the ladies is discovered is very hypocritical in regards to women's sexuality, and also believes it impossible that a woman could be his intellectual equal. Ernestina and Sarah have, nonetheless, both been blessed with strong minds: Ernestina is quite clever and witty, although she seldom has an opportunity to use her gifts, while Sarah has a deep emotional intelligence.

O presente artigo investiga as vozes feministas em Possessão, de A. S. Byatt. A partir do debate proposto por Virginia Woolf sobre “O Anjo do Lar” e “Judith Shakespeare”, e das contribuições de Hutcheon (1991) e Cixous (2022), nosso objetivo é evidenciar, na obra, os contrastes entre a condição angelical da mulher vitoriana, representada por algumas personagens, em contraposição ao caráter subversivo de outras figuras femininas, bem como as relações entre gênero e poder falogocêntrico que se observa na escrita e recepção dos poetas Ash e LaMotte. Byatt, ao expor essas diferenças em sua metaficção, parece questionar as estruturas de poder patriarcal que valoriza a mulher submissa e condena a mulher emancipada.

Confronting the Past. Trauma, History and Memory in Wajda’s film Historical films are important carriers of collective memory, and as a genre historical films can activate both strong feelings and strong debate. Historical fiction films often tell very accurate and almost documentary stories, but fictional films have the freedom to make historical reality in quite another way than factual historical films. This article deals with some of the most important historical film genres and uses a general theory of genres, emotions, memory and history to analyse the historical films of Polish film director Andrzej Wajda, especially those made post 1989. Dealing with both his heritage drama Pan Tadeusz (1999) and critical historical drama Katyn (2007), the article analyses the ways in which Wajda uses historical narratives to comment on both history and contemporary society, and how this strategy is reflected in all his historical films. The article argues that the traumatic and contrast-fil...

The researchers intend to analyze John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman to depict how the female protagonists reject the notion of being eunuchs and experience liberation and revolution within the social context. To carry out this study, the researchers analyze the female characters. This masterpiece revolves around the notions of love and sexuality. The French Lieutenant's Woman has been analyzed from different aspects of feminism. However, in this research, the purpose is to depict how Victorian women are able to break the phallocentric discourse by negating sexual differences and becoming eunuch subjects. The beginning of the novel shows Charles' engagement with Ernestina mostly based on the social doctrines of the Victorian era. In fact, there is no love between them and what binds them together is social expectation. Ernestina is the symbol of a woman who desires to be a female eunuch and obey the principles of the nuclear family. On the other hand, Sarah is a rebellious character who selects love over the social doctrines of Victorian society. The present research is conducted based on Luce Irigaray and Germaine Greer's theories in which the role of Victorian women is analyzed.

The genre of screenwriting began right from the days of cinematographic history and so is over a hundred years old. Yet many people scoff at the idea of defending the screenplay as a form of literature and serious critics maintain that it is not an end-product, that it is just a stop-gap measure. A brief survey of this art-form shows that in the first few decades of this century, instead of according literary recognition to the screenplays of that day, critics were concerned in discussing not the individual merits of the writer but instead their literary motivations. Did they write for the screen in order to express themselves in a way impossible in any order medium, yet with the same dedication and meticulousness as writers in the more traditional literary arts? Or did they consider their screen writing endeavours as mere "hack" assignments, undertaken only to give them the financial support necessary to embark on a real "labor of love," such as writing a good n...

In 1980, more than ten years after John Fowles asked Karel Reisz to direct The French Lieutenant's Woman, the film was finally made, with a screenplay by Harold Pinter. The writing of the script and the shooting of the film are described, by all sources, as an era of good feelings. Reisz speaks of Fowles with affection ("John was a sort of uncle to the project"), and of Pinter with awe ("He was an angel!"). Fowles likes the film "very much," and he does so with a full awareness of the way his novel has been condensed: "Harold's cut the book marvelously. Masses he wrote out of it" (Garis, p. 48). (It is rare to find a writer who tolerates, much less singles out for applause, the wayan adapter has shortened the original.) Pinter, who has always felt "substantial respect" for the novel, acknowledges "very valuable" talks with Fowles and "a very free and open working relationship" with Reisz, to whom he gives ...

Dealing with a work of art visited creatively thrice and critically on a numerous occasion is like walking into an intellectual conundrum where the clue at the vertical end leaves us out at the horizontal. The paper attempts to deal with one such intellectual puzzle and concentrates on The French Lieutenant's Woman, a memorable film by Karel Reisz. Apparently, The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969), by John Fowles, is a novel inspired by the 1823 novel Ourika, by Claire de Duras (Warburton, 1996). Published in 1969, the novel stands as a unique example of twentieth century depiction of the nineteenth century Victorian society especially probing the male-female equations amidst the Victorian England hypocrisies. Although a male writer, Fowles's deep understanding and critical perception and compassion for the women of Victorian times, is evidently observed in his portrayal of variegated female characters ranging from the intriguingly volatile Sarah Woodruff to the stereotyp...

The article argues that Sarah, the title character of Fowles' novel The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969), resists the oppressive ideology of her time by writing her own historiography. In the process, not only does she emplot a tragic past for herself but she also insists on being identified as a depraved woman in the present. The analysis attempts to highlight the fact that Sarah, like a historiographer, selects the referents for her historiography—Mrs. Poulteney and Charles—and imposes her emplotment and prefiguration on her historiography of both her past and present. Employing Hayden White's theories of postmodern historiography and Linda Hutcheon's concept of historiographic metafiction, the paper illustrates ways in which Sarah historicizes her own past through tragic emplotment and metaphoric prefiguration of her narrative in order to convey her anarchist ideology, at the same time portraying herself as the "Woman" who has been abandoned by the Frenc...

Victorian society is known for its strict moral and religious standards. It also faced increase in economic growth with technological development and industrial revolution. The government gained a steady economic status through the working class community who formed the majority of the Victorian population. Although Victorian society prioritized strict religious and moral values there were also radical thinking and questioning of religious norms that increased in the society thus the Victorian society faced double standards. Many writers criticised the conventions of the Victorian society and its double standards one such writer is John Fowles who dealt with the stereotypes of the Victorian society. John Fowles is a renowned English novelist popularly known for his works like The Collector, The Magus, The French Lieutenant's woman. His works majorly surrounds the subject of love, society, philosophy. One of his successful novels is The French Lieutenant's Woman that appeared in 1969. In this novel the writer portrays the norms of the Victorian culture parodying and criticising it with the self reflexive narrative method. The novel won several awards and was made into a well-received film starring Meryl Streep in the title role. This paper analyses how John Fowles has challenged the conventional Victorian society through his famous novel The French Lieutenant's Woman.

Este artigo se propõe a investigar em que medida Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), um artista que transitava em meio à alta sociedade vitoriana e por ela era bem quisto, rompeu com os padrões e normas da moral burguesa a ponto de ser condenado pelo crime de "flagrante indecência" no fim do século XIX. Argumentamos, a partir de noções apresentadas por pesquisadores como Norbert Elias, Michel Foucault e Ari Adut, a favor da hipótese de que a conduta transgressora de Wilde só se tornou inaceitável dentro do jogo social no qual o dramaturgo estava situado a partir do momento em que ele superestimou sua posição de prestígio nas redes de interdependência da alta sociedade vitoriana e decidiu instaurar um processo judicial contra um aristocrata, uma escolha que resultou num catastrófico escândalo público.

Kroz taj i druge stručne postupke, vodeći računa o zahtjevima i interesima sredine u kojoj djeluju, suvremeni arhivi trebaju pridonositi transparentnosti rada javnih službi i demokratizaciji društva. Istaknuti kanadski arhivist Terry Cook povijest arhivističkoga vrednovanja podijelio je u četiri razvojne faze, od kojih posljednja podrazumijeva dijeljenje funkcije vrednovanja između arhivista stručnjaka i različitih zajednica građana, tj. zainteresirane javnosti.

The British cinematographic movement of the late 1950s and early 1960s became known as the “British New Wave”. Despite the fact that important dramas for the history of world cinema were produced during this film cycle, they received little attention from film critics and academic researchers. Like the British New Wave, John Carney’s works were also not widely explored as objects of analysis. Carney is an Irish screenwriter and film director who specializes in independent, low-budget films and the musical genre. Thematic and technical analogies were identified between this British film style and some works by the Irish filmmaker. Therefore, this article aims to study the films Once (2007) and Sing Street (2016), by John Carney, and their convergence points with the works of the British New Wave. The methodology used for the development of the paper was based on a literary review in books and scientific and journalistic articles. It can be seen, in this study, that the two films anal...

While there is a rising number of research studies on heritage language maintenance among East Asian immigrants, there have been very few studies on Southeast Asian minority heritage language maintenance. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the practices and ideologies towards heritage language maintenance in two Buddhist immigrant families from Myanmar residing in New York City. This paper approaches the topic of heritage language maintenance by employing Elinor Ochs and Bambi Schieffelin's (1984) theoretical framework on language socialization-socializing U.S. born Burmese children to become competent members of both their heritage and American societies. The findings suggest that the socio-semantically ambiguous concept bāthā in Burmese referencing both language and religion leads to the prioritization of religious socialization over language socialization in the process of heritage language maintenance. Although the former could compliment the latter, both families seemed to be satisfied by the achievement of the former. By doing so, the participants in this study however achieve in successfully compromising between full assimilation to mainstream American society as a minority immigrant community and maintaining their heritage roots, even if not linguistically.

A cultura contemporânea (tanto a high culture quanto a low culture) está cada vez mais enamorada do século 19. Alguns exemplos que ilustram esta hipótese: os filmes dirigidos por Francis Ford Coppola, Jane Campion e Ang Lee; os romances de A. S. Byatt e William Gibson; as revisitas a Oscar Wilde e Lewis Carroll, fotografia nostálgica, produtos de computação gráfica, o cyberpunk e o steampunk. No texto desenvolvido aqui, discuto as reverberações da era vitoriana na contemporaneidade, argumentando que, a contrapelo da margem a que Pound relega o passado vitoriano, no início do século 20, o espectro persistente dos vitorianos ronda todas as formas de modernide. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: era vitoriana; século longo; século breve; modernidades.

Este livro apresenta um estudo sobre as relações entre o romance e a adaptação a partir da construção do espaço nas obras.

This article looks at the curious career of Isabelle Huppert, an actress drawn to characters that so often seem to lack underlying motivation. Instead she frequently plays characters who in conventionally cinematic terms would be called disturbed. But we suggest this notion of disturbance is not just a psychological trope, but instead an ontological exploration. It is a way for Huppert -who often works with exploratory auteurs -to try and define aspects of the human condition, aspects that demand close scrutiny of 'being' over 'playing' characters that move through a clearly constructed narrative.

In British literature, many eminent authors and works of literature emerged in the nineteenth century. The Victorian era constituted a tradition about how the novel genre must be, and, for several years, it set a pattern for forging fiction. But, with the alterations which are made in progress of time, the focus and perception of novel have shifted. It is clear that the conventional style of realist fiction has gone through different phases, at which it was mimicked or reproduced. In particular, an ironic approach towards the convention was adopted by postmodernism, a period in which the past tradition was both demolished and then rebuilt under the impact of contemporary and novel inclinations. In this context, The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969) by John Fowles could be regarded as a landmark that shows the boundaries between the past form and the novel experimental initiatives. Being one of the most significant and powerful novels of the British literature during the 1960s, The French Lieutenant's Woman highlights the shifts initiated by postmodern art philosophy. Therefore, this study aims to examine the novel by illustrating certain codes and concepts, which make The French Lieutenant's Woman a good example of postmodernist fiction.

La construcción estética del sujeto popular en el documental "Mimbre" (1957) de Sergio Bravo. Luis Horta, UNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE Resumen. En el marco de los estudios del cine chileno, que sitúan la representación del sujeto popular como epicentro de un trabajo estético de indagación, este artículo busca analizar las operaciones cinematográficas y estéticas que emplea el cineasta Sergio Bravo en su documental "Mimbre" (1957), en el cual trata de establecer un lenguaje asociado a una idea de identidad local. El análisis de la obra nos indica un contrapunto entre sujeto popular y vanguardias artísticas. Toma como motivo central la cotidianeidad del artesano Alfredo Manzano, "Manzanito", planteando una subversión visual a la idea de realidad chilena propuesta por el cine del periodo. Como conclusión, el trabajo de Sergio Bravo no solo resulta rupturista en la forma, sino en la conciencia política del rol de las imágenes en un proceso que asume la construcción de un lenguaje propio en un periodo que evidencia aperturas hacia el arte popular. Palabras clave: Cine chileno; Documental; Sergio Bravo; Mimbre; Manzanito; Arte Popular. Abstract. In the framework of the Chilean cinema studies, which place the representation of the popular subject as the epicenter of an aesthetic investigation work, this article seeks to analyze the cinematographic and aesthetic operations that the filmmaker Sergio Bravo uses in his documentary "Mimbre" (1957), in which he tries to establish a language associated with an idea of local identity. The analysis of the work indicates a counterpoint between popular subject and artistic avant-garde. It takes as a central motif the daily life of the artisan Alfredo Manzano, "Manzanito", posing a visual subversion to the idea of Chilean reality proposed by the cinema of the period. In conclusion, Sergio Bravo's work is not only disruptive in form, but also in the political conscience of the role of images in a process that assumes the construction of a language of its own in a period that shows openness towards popular art.
