▼ My dissertation examines the unacknowledged role of negative female models from traditional literature in constructing the modern woman in China. It draws upon literary and historical sources to examine how modern cultural figures resuscitated and even redeemed qualities associated with traditional shrews in their perceptions and constructions of the new woman across the first half of the twentieth century. By linking the literary trope of the shrew, associated with imperial China, with the twentieth-century figure of the new woman, my work bridges the transition from the late-imperial to the modern era and foregrounds the late-imperial roots of Chinese modernization. The scope of my dissertation includes depictions of shrews/new women in literary texts, the press, theater, and public discourses from the Republican to the Socialist period. Although there exists a rich body of work on both traditional shrew literature and the new woman narrative, no one has addressed the confluence of the two in Chinese modernity. Scholars of late imperial Chinese literature have claimed that shrew literature disappeared when China entered the modern age. Studies on the new woman focus on specific social and cultural contexts during the different periods of modernizing China; few scholars have traced the effects that previous female types had on the new woman. My research reveals the importance of the traditional shrew in contributing to the construction and reception of the new woman, despite the radically changing ideologies of the twentieth century. As I argue, the feisty, rebellious modern women in her many guises as suffragette, sexual independent, and gender radical are female types grafted onto the violent, sexualized, and transgressive typologies of the traditional shrew. My research contributes to the studies of Chinese modernity and the representations of Chinese women. First, it bridges the artificial divide between modern and traditional studies of China and expands the debates about the nature of Chinese modernity. Second, it brings to light the underexamined constructions of the new woman as an empowered social actor through her genealogical connections to the traditional shrew. Third, it provides a methodology for rethinking the contested depiction of women in Chinese modernity. Advisors/Committee Members: Epstein, Maram (advisor).

▼

Die „New Woman” ist ein komplexes und mehrdeutiges Konzept, das erstmals in der Viktorianischen Literatur beschrieben wurde. Sie wurde beschrieben als eine unabhängige, politisch interessierte und gebildete Frau, welche aber dennoch die Viktorianischen Traditionen wertschätzt. Aus anti-feministischer Sicht stellte die „New Woman“ eine Gefahr für die Viktorianische Gesellschaft dar und wurde für das Ablehnen ihrer natürlichen Rolle als Mutter und Ehefrau verachtet. Das Ziel dieser Diplomarbeit ist es, zu untersuchen, wie die „New Woman“ in der erfolgreichen historischen Dramaserie Downton Abbey dargestellt wird. Der theoretische Teil verschafft einen Überblick über die Frauengeschichte des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts und das Konzept der „New Woman“. Dies wird zeigen, dass es, abhängig von der jeweiligen Perspektive, unterschiedliche Auffassungen der „New Woman“ gibt. Es gibt jedoch einige Merkmale, welche in alle diesen Konzepten zu finden sind, zum Beispiel das Bild der „New Woman“ als eine gebildete und unabhängige Frau. Das Konzept der „New Woman“ hatte auch beträchtlichen Einfluss auf die Entstehung von Frauenrechtsorganisationen im frühen 20. Jahrhundert, welche in dieser Diplomarbeit vorgestellt werden. Außerdem wird der Einfluss des ersten Weltkrieges auf diese Frauenrechtsorganisationen und auf Frauenrechte generell diskutiert werden. Der analytische Teil dieser Diplomarbeit untersucht die weiblichen Darsteller in Downton Abbey hinsichtlich der Frage, ob jene die „New Woman“ repräsentieren. Für diesen Zweck werden vier Kategorien eingeführt, anhand derer die Serie analysiert wird: Neue Meinungen und Bildung, neue Berufe, neue Konzepte von Sexualität und Ehe und neue Mode und Mobilität. Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass einige Charaktere Eigenschaften aufweisen, die als typisch für die „New Woman“ gelten, auch wenn die Beweggründe für ihr Verhalten unterschiedlich sind. Außerdem werden Charaktere aus der Oberschicht sowie aus der Unterschicht betrachtet, was zeigt, dass die soziale Klasse die Darstellung der „New Woman“ beeinflusst.

The New Woman is a complex and ambiguous concept, first established in Victorian literature as an independent, politically interested, and educated woman, who also values Victorian traditions. For anti-feminists, the New Woman posed a threat to Victorian society, and was despised for denying her natural role as mother and wife. The main aim of this thesis is to investigate how the New Woman is represented in the successful costume drama Downton Abbey. In the theoretical part, I will provide an overview of women’s history in the early 20th century, and the concept of the New Woman. This will show that there are several concepts of the New Woman, depending on the perspective. Nevertheless, some characteristics can be detected in most of them, for instance the idea of the New Woman being educated, opinionated and independent. In the early twentieth century, the concept of the New Woman had considerable impact on the formation of suffrage organisations, which will be introduced in this thesis.…

▼ In 19th-century Britain, women as compared with men, did not have equal professional and educational opportunities; therefore, they were often outside the center of politics and the economy, and were regarded as being subordinate in the household. This Woman Question had been fervently discussed in the press since the 1880s. And it was Ouida who âchristenedâ the âNew Womanâ for this new class of women in 1894 from Sarah Grandâs essay âThe New Aspect of the Woman Question.â The âNew Womanâ was abhorred by traditional British society and condemned as a temptress who, so it observed, tended to satisfy her own sexual needs, regardless of social mores and household responsibilities. In contrast to âthe good angel in the houseâ or âthe proper lady,â the New Woman was accused of neglecting her female virtues of a selfless housewife, wife, mother, and daughter. Traditionally, women were economically dependent, and that was the reason why the grace of a Victorian proper lady lay in her submission to social morality, but not in her assertion of individualism. Since she was only considered part of the family instead of herself, it was important for a woman to be a virgin before marriage in order to guarantee her chastity and loyalty to her husband. According to Mona Caird, the ideal of virginity was worshipped in order to reinforce the idea that womenâs virginity belonged to their husbands-to-be instead of to themselves. This ideology satisfied the male possessive attitudes toward their wives. In her essay, âMarriage,â Caird related virginity to marriage as a historically situated institution, which was temporary and challengeable. So once the gender barrier between the male master and the female housekeeper was questioned and even dismissed, women could claim the same freedom of choice, both of their life and of their bodies. With the intensification of capitalism and the individual economic unit, women seemed to represent menâs property. It was in this skewed relationship between the two sexes that the feminine ideal was erected and institutionalized in order to maintain masculine domination. From a manâs point of view, a modest woman, or a proper lady, should repress her sexual desire so that she would seem to have no desire for men at all. The basic reason for women to suppress their desire was because the Victorians regarded human desire as solely masculine; in other words, they saw women as the objects of desire, not the agents from which the desire originated. Womenâs subordinate position constrained their individualism. In this way, women became selfless and functional. The loss of virginity out of wedlock was the primary cause of a womanâs tragedy. This happened to two of Hardyâs âNew Womanâ heroines, Tess dâUrbervilles and Sue Bridehead. The two heroines were chosen to represent the New Women because both of them, to a large extent, acted against the decorum of a traditional proper lady. Tess of the dâUrbervilles dealt with the relationship between men and women and the problems in conventional marriage.

▼ Despite its growing popularity in books, film, games, fashion, and décor, a suitable definition for steampunk remains elusive. Debates in online forums seek to arrive at a cogent definition, ranging from narrowly restricting and exclusionary definitions, to uselessly inclusive indefinitions. The difficulty in defining steampunk stems from the evolution of the term as a literary sub-genre of science fiction (SF) to a sub-culture of Goth fashion, Do-It-Yourself (DIY) arts and crafts movements, and more recently, as ideological counter-culture. Accordingly, defining steampunk unilaterally is challenged by what aspect of steampunk culture is being defined. Even the seminal steampunk texts of K.W. Jeter, Tim Powers, and James Blaylock lack strong affinities. In his review of Tachyon’s Steampunk anthology, Rob Latham observes a “wide range of tonal and ideological possibilities” in the book’s twelve short stories and novellas originally published between 1985 and 2007 (347). Steampunk works share a fantastic aesthetic that separates steampunk from neo-Victorian writing or just alternate history. Instead of viewing steampunk as a genre, steampunk might be considered an expression of features, which when combined, constitute a style or aesthetic surface. An understanding of steampunk as an aesthetic permits the requisite flexibility to discuss its diverse expressions. Employing an evidence-based, exploratory approach, this study identifies three components of the steampunk aesthetic: neo-Victorianism, technofantasy, and retrofuturism. Unlike attempts to list ostensibly common themes or archetypes of steampunk, or simply catalogue recurring motifs or settings, this study will argue that these three components are found in the majority of steampunk works. For the purposes of concision, this study restricts the exploration to literary works, demonstrating how the components of neo-victorianism, technofantasy and retrofuturism are best suited for defining steampunk, inclusively accommodating a variety of steampunk narratives while exclusively drawing boundaries to avoid rendering the term meaningless.

▼ This thesis examines the depiction of female characters as New Women in a comparative analysis of the fiction of two authors from fin-de-siècle United States of America and late Ottoman/early Republican Turkey: Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth (1905), The Custom of the Country (1913) and The Age of Innocence (1920), and Halide Edib Adıvar’s Raik’in Annesi (Raik’s Mother, 1909), Handan (Handan, 1912) and Kalp Ağrısı (Heartache, 1924). It argues that these novels can be read as examples of New Woman fiction, with their challenge to conventional fictional treatments of womanhood and their depiction of complex female heroines struggling against restrictive social roles, conventions and moral codes. Examining these texts together opens up a hitherto unexplored area of comparison into how the construct of New Womanhood was perceived and dealt with differently (and similarly) in the American and Turkish societies of the era.The thesis brings a new approach to the analysis of the novels under question not only by reading Wharton’s and Adıvar’s fiction in a comparative perspective but also by approaching New Woman fiction by means of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of dialogism, complemented by the work of feminist critics such as Dale M. Bauer, Gail Cunningham, Luce Irigaray and Lyn Pykett. A feminist dialogic approach informs my reading of the novels as texts that present a pluralistic exchange between multiple discourses and that resist a singular interpretation - instead offering multiple “readings”, with a surface narrative and counter narrative: whilst the surface narrative appears as authoritative and seeks to maintain the status quo (through voices that attempt to stabilise the New Woman and assert the authority of conventions and moral codes), this is disrupted and destabilised by the subversive marginal voices of the counter narrative. By attending in this way to the juxtaposition of a multiplicity of conflicting voices on the New Woman question in the texts - particularly as these are expressed in the heroines’ inner dilemmas and conflicts and around the issues of marriage, divorce and sexuality - I attempt to go beyond a reading of the texts as reflections of the biography of the authors or their views regarding a certain model of female identity, instead emphasising the problematisation and unfixing of identity in the novels and their depiction of New Women that are complex, fragmented and contradictory.Furthermore, influenced by the ideas of feminist thinkers such as Judi M. Roller and Elizabeth Bronfen, I propose that the unhappy endings of Wharton’s and Adıvar’s novels can be read as critiques of the oppressive effects of hegemonic discourses about women and a recognition of female agency and struggle. By examining these aspects of the novels, this comparative thesis aims to contribute to feminist studies focused upon the “woman question” and to the growing body of scholarly work on the New Woman.

▼ This thesis focuses upon the relationship between individualism, the New Woman, and marriage in the works of Mary Ward, Sarah Grand, and Lucas Malet. In examining how these three popular novelists of the late nineteenth century responded to the challenge of female individualism, this thesis traces the complex afterlife of John Stuart Mill's contribution to Victorian feminism. The thesis evaluates competing models of liberty and the individual - freedom and self-development - in the later nineteenth century at the outset and traces how these differing models work their way through the response of popular writers on the Woman Question. Ward's Robert Elsmere (1888) and Marcella (1894) posit an antagonism between the New Woman's individualism and marriage. She associates individualism with selfishness, which explicates her New Woman characters' personal and ideological transformation leading to marriage. The relinquishing of individualism suggests Ward's ambivalent response to the nineteenth-century Woman Question. While Grand's The Heavenly Twins (1893) and The Beth Book (1897) prioritise individualism over marriage when the husband proves immoral or violent, Malet's unconventional representations or marriage in The Wages of Sin (1890) and The History of Sir Richard Calmady (1901) articulate her advocacy of female individualism. Malet's New Woman heroines are free to carry on with the purity politics and sexual inversion which respectively characterise their individualism. Thus, the fact that Ward, Grand, and Malet focussed on the notion of female individualism in response to contemporaneous debates about marriage and the New Woman demonstrates its significance. Yet, based on their varied perspectives - Ward's conservative rejection, Grand's conditional endorsement, and Malet's definite promotion - female individualism emerges as a still evolving concept. Reflecting the time in which they were written, these novels anticipated positive change in women's situation while acknowledging that the New Woman, once married, must sacrifice her individualism unless her marriage proves to be companionate.

▼ This thesis examines the depiction of female characters as New Women in a comparative analysis of the fiction of two authors from fin-de-siècle United States of America and late Ottoman/early Republican Turkey: Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth (1905), The Custom of the Country (1913) and The Age of Innocence (1920), and Halide Edib Adıvar’s Raik’in Annesi (Raik’s Mother, 1909), Handan (Handan, 1912) and Kalp Ağrısı (Heartache, 1924). It argues that these novels can be read as examples of New Woman fiction, with their challenge to conventional fictional treatments of womanhood and their depiction of complex female heroines struggling against restrictive social roles, conventions and moral codes. Examining these texts together opens up a hitherto unexplored area of comparison into how the construct of New Womanhood was perceived and dealt with differently (and similarly) in the American and Turkish societies of the era. The thesis brings a new approach to the analysis of the novels under question not only by reading Wharton’s and Adıvar’s fiction in a comparative perspective but also by approaching New Woman fiction by means of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of dialogism, complemented by the work of feminist critics such as Dale M. Bauer, Gail Cunningham, Luce Irigaray and Lyn Pykett. A feminist dialogic approach informs my reading of the novels as texts that present a pluralistic exchange between multiple discourses and that resist a singular interpretation - instead offering multiple “readings”, with a surface narrative and counter narrative: whilst the surface narrative appears as authoritative and seeks to maintain the status quo (through voices that attempt to stabilise the New Woman and assert the authority of conventions and moral codes), this is disrupted and destabilised by the subversive marginal voices of the counter narrative. By attending in this way to the juxtaposition of a multiplicity of conflicting voices on the New Woman question in the texts - particularly as these are expressed in the heroines’ inner dilemmas and conflicts and around the issues of marriage, divorce and sexuality - I attempt to go beyond a reading of the texts as reflections of the biography of the authors or their views regarding a certain model of female identity, instead emphasising the problematisation and unfixing of identity in the novels and their depiction of New Women that are complex, fragmented and contradictory. Furthermore, influenced by the ideas of feminist thinkers such as Judi M. Roller and Elizabeth Bronfen, I propose that the unhappy endings of Wharton’s and Adıvar’s novels can be read as critiques of the oppressive effects of hegemonic discourses about women and a recognition of female agency and struggle. By examining these aspects of the novels, this comparative thesis aims to contribute to feminist studies focused upon the “woman question” and to the growing body of scholarly work on the New Woman.

▼ This thesis considers the ways in which the figure of the ‘woman artist’ has been constituted in published sources in Aotearoa New Zealand’s art history, between 1928 and 1989. Most of the texts dedicated specifically to women artists in this country were written in the latter half of the twentieth century, and were produced with the intention of writing women artists back in to the histories from which they had been excluded. This thesis operates from a different perspective. Rather than assuming a starting point of women’s absence from a national art history, it traces instead those written representations of the ‘woman artist’ as they exist in the published literature. Through the construction of a genealogy of such representation, this thesis examines the ideologies which are both embedded in, and perpetuated by them. In doing so it makes evident and interrogates the gendered power dynamics which have shaped the writing of Aotearoa New Zealand’s art history. This thesis is structured chronologically, charting the formation and expansion of a coherent national arts discourse against shifting notions of national and cultural identity. The trajectory of this discourse was shaped by a canonical impulse, constructing an unfolding narrative which centres upon a succession of key artistic figures. This thesis argues that the structuring of this – largely male, Pākehā – narrative, acted to subsume gendered difference, rendering women increasingly peripheral within its pages. The model of subsumed difference is also apparent in feminist critiques of this dominant art history, which are critically interrogated in the latter half of this thesis. As women sought to challenge the relative exclusion of women artists from this dominant narrative, they also perpetuated their own exclusions, often in terms of culture or sexuality. Through discursive analysis of both ‘mainstream’ art history, and the feminist writings which addressed it, this thesis presents two significant arguments. First, that stereotypical representations of women artists play a structural role – to marginalise women – within Aotearoa New Zealand’s art history. Secondly, that feminist interrogations of such histories failed to account for the multiplicity of women’s subjectivity. I conclude by instantiating and calling for an alternative approach that challenges the subsuming of such difference within a single, homogenous narrative. Such an approach will produce histories that interrogate, rather than perpetuate, the gendered and cultural power dynamics embedded within society.

▼ This thesis investigates the cultural politics of a small group of women through their writing and other activities in 1880s London. Focussed on Olive Schreiner, Eleanor Marx and Amy Levy and the connections they had to one another and to other women, such as Henrietta Frances Lord, Clementina Black and Henrietta Müller, it explores key events in their everyday lives, the writings and texts they produced. It analyses a wide selection of textual sources, re-reading these for small details, intertextual connections and points of disjuncture, to allow for different ways of understanding the mechanics of feminist cultural politics as produced and performed by these interconnected women. Small things in texts can be revealing about such women’s everyday lives and connectedly the cultural politics which underpinned their actions, thus contributing to knowledge about how writing was used strategically and imaginatively to challenge, side-step and overcome oppression and inequality, in these years in London and after. Using the term ‘writing’ in a broad sense to include letters and diaries and other archival sources such as newspaper articles, reviews and manuscript drafts, as well as some selected published work and biographies, the thesis is anchored around four event-driven investigations: Olive Schreiner being accosted by a policeman; the first public performance of Ibsen’s A Doll’s House; the writing of a letter mentioning Eleanor Marx; and, the death of Amy Levy. Relatedly, there are discussions concerning working with historical documents, documenting and archiving the past, researching and representing the past in the present. These investigations allow for the operationalization of a research approach framed by ideas concerning micro, small-scale, everyday life and its qualitative aspects, which together contribute to a re-conceptualisation of a ‘sociology of small things.’ Specifically, it is argued that close and small-scale studies of women’s writing, whether undertaken alone or connected to others, sheds light on the importance of relationship dynamics in connection with writing output, on what writing was produced and what role each text played in larger scale political agendas. Concepts such as palimpsest, liminality and bricolage are interrogated with respect to researching and representing the spatial and temporal interconnectedness of the selected authors and textual sources. And contributions are made to contemporary thinking about epistolarity and social networks, focussing on reciprocity, gift-giving and receiving and notions of ‘letterness,’ along with the defining of boundaries, and the value of determining the nature of ties between women. The thesis also argues that the relationships between intimacy and distance, interiority and exteriority, public and private, are frayed with complicated overlaps.

▼ This master’s report describes the process of commissioning, financing and premiering “Light Form” by Melody Eötvös. Within the scope of the project, my goals were threefold: first, to commission a woman composer as a form of “musical activism” (Locke & Barr, 1997, p. 5), second, to provide a clear understanding of the commissioning and consortium-building processes and third, to produce a detailed analysis of “Light Form” for consortium members readying the piece for performance. Although expanding the repertoire was not my primary aim, trumpeters can testify to a lack of works by women in our standard repertoire. The recent trend in programming works by women composers highlights a notable cultural shift: a wide-scale reappraisal of the classical music canon. I challenge the assumption that the canon was selected objectively and that only the best works stood the test of time. What we consider the classical music canon is a relic of idealism and individualism. These 20th century intellectual movements celebrated the creative output of the “lone genius,” isolating him (most often male) from the historical and social contexts during which he worked and silencing voices, often female, that undermined this narrative. My discussion of feminist texts on the relationship of women to music and the creative act of composition ultimately demands that the work of women receives equal attention free from gendered discourse and the same rigorous critical analysis as that of males. This influenced my decision to premiere “Light Form” on my master’s recital first, followed by a performance on a Women in Music recital celebrating works by women composers. Finally, “Light Form” is inspired by a woman artist (my great-aunt Margaret Singer), and both composer and consortium director are women. However, my pitch was to a consortium of both women and men, colleagues of mine from the past 15 years as a trumpet student. As a result, the piece will receive performances in venues across the country and endure based on its merit as a work of art (Held, 2019, phone interview).

▼ The New Woman cyclist of the 1890s has become an important symbol of feminist liberation. At the turn of the 20th century, she emerged as a figure that resisted traditional gender expectations, and, when paired with the new technology of the bicycle, gained unprecedented mobility. Yet, this liberation narrative fails to account for the white New Woman cyclist’s participation in hegemonic forms of power and ignores the moments of resistance a queer and feminist reading of Other(ed) New Women cyclists makes visible. Building on feminist, critical race, and queer theories, my dissertation challenges the dominant story of feminist liberation by revealing how white women’s progress relies on and contributes to whitenormative narratives of mastery, conquest, and empire, while also making space for a more nuanced reading of the New Woman cyclist’s harms, pleasures, and resistance. To explore this topic, I examine diaries, cycling guides, travelogues, newspapers, and bicycle tourism fieldwork. In chapter one, I read the diary of a woman cyclist from Leeds, England written between 1893 - 1896 and the historical context surrounding it against the grain to reveal an identity for the diarist that contradicts heteropatriarchal romance narratives in the historical archive. I then visualize recent maps of my own cycle tours alongside newly constructed maps based on the records she kept in her diary to explore the intimate embodiment and non-linearity of bicycle tourism, pushing the limits of the “queer object.” In chapter two, I examine the relationship between the bicycle, 19th century white feminist reformers, and the tension between queer possibilities of socialist revolution and the protection of Anglo-Saxon empire. Focusing specifically on the language of conquest used in Frances Willard’s instructional cycling guide, A Wheel Within A Wheel: How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle (1895), I argue that Willard’s speech acts upon her audience; her words are live and directly impact the political landscape of the New Woman. Thus, Willard’s vision for a reformed civilization is one of celebratory conquest and confers serious harm upon those who are rejected from the moral modernity of the white New Woman cyclist. In chapter three, I offer a close reading of Elizabeth Robins Pennell’s To Gipsyland (1893) to investigate the potentiality of her attachment to the Romany people, language, and culture to offer queer forms of knowledge production. I argue that rather than operate as an agent of queer knowledge production, Pennell’s cycling adventure indulges in the violence of imperialist nostalgia to advance yet another narrative of modernity and empire. In chapter four, I consider the harmlessness of cycling’s pleasures, arguing that pleasure is essential in resisting oppressive structures. Drawing on the stories of cyclists Kittie Knox and Annie Kopchovsky I highlight how pleasure, performance, and spectacle serve to offer moments of resistance.

Trotz intensiver wissenschaftlicher Bearbeitung der „Fallen Women“ und „New Women“ in der Literatur und der Dramatik der viktorianischen Epoche und des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts blieb die Bedeutung der Witwenschaft für diese Frauenbilder ein zu erforschendens Gebiet. Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich insbesondere der Frage wie der Witwenstand Frauen im genannten Zeitraum in Großbritannien beeinflusste und wie er in ausgewählten Stücken von Henry Arthur Jones, Arthur Wing Pinero und St. John Hankin dargestellt wird. Unter Einbeziehung des historischen Kontextes werden die Fallbeispiele der jeweiligen Witwen mittels close reading analysiert und – mit Akzentuierung auf gegenwärtige Diskurse zur „Woman Question“ – auf ihre in der spezifischen Zeitepoche dominante sexuelle Normierung sowie Doppelmoral hin untersucht. Durchgängig wird dabei thematisiert, wie sich der Status als Witwe auf die Rolle, die Rechte und Möglichkeiten einer Frau innerhalb der jeweiligen Gesellschaft auswirkte. Es kann dabei aufgezeigt werden, dass Witwen anhand ihrer Erfahrung und erreichten Unabhängigkeit in besonderer Weise dazu geeignet sind, die Themen der „Woman Question“ aufzuwerfen, zu veranschaulichen und zu debattieren. Die Forschungsergebnisse legen nahe, dass die Witwenschaft das Potenzial hat, Frauen emanzipierte Leben als „New Women“ führen zu lassen bzw. „Fallen Women“ einen Neubeginn unter der Prämisse der Achtbarkeit zu ermöglichen.

The ‘Fallen Woman’ and the ‘New Woman’ in the literature and drama of the Victorian and early Edwardian period have been studied extensively, yet the significance of widowhood for ‘Fallen’ and ‘New’ women characters merits further attention. This thesis is specifically concerned with how the status of widowhood affected women in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century Britain and how this is represented in a selection of five plays by Henry Arthur Jones, Arthur Wing Pinero, and St. John Hankin. With the backdrop of the historical context of the plays, the analysis examined the widows’ cases in detail through close readings of the plays, with an emphasis on the contemporary ‘Woman Question’ debate, highlighting issues such as the sexual and moral ‘double standard’ dominant at the time. Throughout the analysis, the thesis discusses what widowhood meant for women’s roles, rights, and opportunities in society. It concludes that widows, due to their experience and independent positions, are especially apt as characters to illustrate, emphasise, and propagate issues and debates that are part of the larger contemporary discussion that is the ‘Woman Question.’ These findings suggest that widowhood could, potentially, enable women to lead emancipated lives as ‘New Women,’ or provide ‘Fallen Women’ with a new start under the guise of respectability.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate how language used in the past was lost with regard to pregnant women, as well as the rituals meant to be followed when a woman is pregnant until child-birth. This study compared the language use of modern times and of the past with regard to taboos during pregnancy and birth. The components that the researcher investigated embrace how a pregnant woman should handle herself, taboos that must be followed by pregnant women and the infants, fortification and procedures which follow when the ceremony of the baby is done and language development from pregnancy and child birth. In this study, the researcher applied the Critical Language Awareness (CLA), Ethnography of Communication and Ethnopragmatics models to best explain the Vhavenḓa cultural practices and discourse in relation to child-aligned language with regards to pregnancy, child-birth and anything associated with a newborn child. Regarding research design, the researcher chose qualitative-ethnography research design because it is more exploratory as it deals with human beings and the environment in which they live. A qualitative research method was utilised in this study. The population was Vhavenḓa elderly women who are knowledgeable about taboos pertaining to pregnancy and childbirth. In this study, purposive and snowball sampling techniques were appropriate since the researcher used her judgement to and snowball sampling were used to sample information from people who have knowledge of the Tshivenḓa language and culture to establish if there is a difference between the language used today and that used in the past. On the subject of data collection tools, the researcher collected qualitative primary data with the aid of interviews and interviews from the social groups including youth, elders, nurses and doctors from various natural research settings in the Vhembe District. Ultimately, the researcher identified various themes and concepts which emanated from the data collection process in line with analytical comparison methods, namely, method of agreement and method of difference. From the research, it was discovered that the Tshivenḓa culture is being undermined and the Western culture is being preferred in modern times. These changes came about when Western and Christian ways of doing things were v followed and African customs were abandoned. Furthermore, this research uncovered that the Tshivenḓa language is being lost while looking at the period from pregnancy until the birth of a child into the world. Most importantly, this research brought forth the knowledge of language used in pregnancy that has been lost; including medicines that are no longer used for purposes of curing during pregnancy, child-birth and the raising of a newborn.; Ngudo ino yo ḓitika kha u sengulusa uri luambo zwe lwa vha lu tshi shumiswa zwone kale lwo ngalangala zwo livhiswa kha muimana u swika a tshi vhofholowa.

▼ The aim in "Angels and Degenerates: Artistic Virtuosity and Degeneration Theory in Fin de Siècle Fiction" is to complicate the popular image of the fin de siècle as uniformly pessimistic by examining the continuities between a range of novelists, as well as other late nineteenth century writers from such disparate fields as psychology and cultural criticism, as they critique degeneration theory. Some of these writers, like Thomas Hardy, H.G. Wells, and Sarah Grand, are typically read as promoting a degenerationist agenda, while others, like George BernardShaw and Mona Caird, are recognized today for their outspoken opposition to degeneration theory. In uniting these apparently contradictory perspectives, this study demonstrates that skepticism of degeneration theory, awareness of its inconsistent logic, and discomfort with its implications is a more important feature of fin de siècle culture than has hitherto been acknowledged.The writers are further united by a common impulse to utilize the figure of the artistic genius to defy degeneration theory. Tess of the D'Urbervilles, The Wonderful Visit, Trilby, The Beth Book, and The Daughters of Danaus incorporate protagonists whom we can identify as either incipient or realized artistic geniuses through the telltale signs of genius that originated in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Romanticism. Added to the familiar conception of Romantic genius in the late Victorian era is a newfound emphasis on the biological andhereditary dimensions of the genius's innate creative wellspring. By concentrating on the conventionally constructive qualities of the genius figure, including visionary power, aesthetic perceptiveness, intuitive sympathy, and artistic virtuosity, the novelists produce a system of values that both degenerationists and antidegenerationists uphold in their writings. I argue that the novelists expose this shared value system and interrogate its inconsistent usage in scientificcontexts, using the genius to reject widespread pathologization and destructive applications of evolutionary theory to the human population at the end of the nineteenth century.

▼ In April 1894, the Times Column of New Books and New Editions introduced to its readers "a Female Sherlock Holmes" (12). This was Loveday Brooke, in C. L. Pirkis‘s collection The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective. Loveday is one of many professional female detectives who traversed the pages of short stories, both serialised and in collections, during the British fin de siècle. The advertisement suggests that Loveday was portrayed as a female version of a masculine character type, typified by Holmes. In this thesis, I question this assumption as part of my literary ‘investigation’ of the fin-de-siècle female detective. Currently, there is only a small body of work on the nineteenth-century female detective and she remains "mysterious" and "little-known" as William Stephens Hayward describes his protagonist in Revelations of a Lady Detective (1864). This thesis employs ‘investigation’ as a structural and methodological framework to perform its own literary analysis and to make an original contribution to extant critical literature. Investigation provides an effective mode for the examination and articulation of how this figure is portrayed. The narrative trajectory of this thesis shares the key stages of the fictional female detective‘s investigation: the identification of evidence, consideration of its significance and meaning, and deduction based thereon. I read three collections of short stories, each featuring a professional female detective, published in Britain between 1893 and 1901, and treat the literary techniques in these texts as ‘clues’ to representation. Thus, double meanings, metaphors, and analogy, are the proof of a complex chain of “legal, social, moral, institutional and gendered practice” that shaped the representation of female detectives (Kestner 1). In Chapter One, I use vision and related concepts in the analysis of C. L. Pirkis‘s Loveday Brooke. The second stage of my literary investigation focuses upon disguise and I read George R. Sims‘s Dorcas Dene, Detective: Her Life and Adventures (1897). Dorcas‘s facility with disguise transcends mere detective work as it is also portrayed as a means of negotiating fin-de-siécle social mores. The final chapter considers the ratiocinations performed by Florence Cusack in the fiction of L. T. Meade (1899-1901). I consider the interaction between the female detective and contemporary discourses about women‘s mental faculties. Each chapter explores a different element of the female detective‘s investigation, revealing the ways in which Pirkis, Sims and Meade use elements of the detective plot to engage with, and subtly counter, contemporary gender discourses. Each detective transcends the proposed status of a “Female Sherlock Holmes,” as each is an important character in her own right. The detective plot essays female professionalism and independence, expanding the roles allocated to women in nineteenth-century British fiction.

Umetnost - Art

Mica Todorović, radnom i životnom biografijom reprezentovala je u međuratnom periodu jednu od najmarkantnijih figura tadašnje najšire shvaćene jugoslovenske modernosti. Umetnički školovana u Zagrebu, gde je 1926. diplomirala slikarstvo u klasi profesora Babića, Mica je u narednih pet godina aktivno delovala unutar kolegijalnog kruga (bila je posebno bliska sa Ivanom Tabakovićem i Otonom Postružnikom), izgradivši krajnje specifičnu likovnu poetiku. Moderna i u potpunosti predana idealima savremenosti, životnim stilom stajala je u bliskoj vezi sa prepoznatljivim elementima tadašnjeg fenomena „nove žene“. Nadmašujući rodno motivisana ograničenja javnog prostora, biće nezamenljivim subjektom složenog umetničkog dijaloga s kraja dvadesetih, što je podrazumevalo i formiranje umetničke grupe Zemlja (1929.). Individualna po osnovnoj karakternoj crti, i podozriva naspram složenih socijalnih okvira, nije podelila iskustvo potpunog pripadanja Zemlji, i njenoj projektivnoj ideologiji, ali je specifično oblikovanim iskustvom flanera likovno postojala kao urbana dopuna prevashodno ruralnom pogledu na svet navedene grupe. (izložila je tri crteža kao gost Zemlje u Ljubljani 1930.). Među ikonografski istaknutije radove njenog zagrebačkog perioda ubrajamo „Ljuljašku“ i „Suzanu i starca“. Njihova provokativnost u tumačenju socijalnih ili rodnih predrasuda reprezentovala je vrhunski primer intelektualno predisponirane kritičnosti na tadašnjoj likovnoj sceni. Sve kompleksniji društveni odnosi nakon 1928. godine, naglašeno manifestovani porastom konzervativnih tendencija u javnom životu, primorali su je da tokom 1932. napusti Zagreb i da se konačno naseli u Sarajevu. Rane tridesete obeležene su specifičnim trenutkom u njenoj karijeri: napustila je slikanje, na čije je mesto nastupio linearni, kritičkim sadržajem obeležen crtež (izdvajaju se „Berta mondenka“, „Predsjednik društva za zaštitu životinja“, „Sijamski blizanci“, „Društveni događaj 1933.), i ta je tendencija opstajala sve do 1938. godine, kada umetnica odlučuje da se vrati izvornoj disciplini slikanja. Usaglasivši je sa Sezanovom idejom hromatije i kolorističkih bojenih polja, umetnica je obnovljenoj slici dodala i poseban empatijski sloj, onaj čijim je posredstvom bila u stanju da se prožima sa uskim mikro-ambijentom sarajevske periferije, upravo one u kojoj je i sama živela. Na taj način vlastita kuća postala je poetičko uporište, u istoj onoj meri koliko je to uporište nalaženo i u pojedinačnim fizionomijama ljudi sa margine. Uglavnom mlade, samosvesne žene, one 4 su u tematskoj celini Micinih radova s kraja tridesetih godina reprezentovale onaj neophodni element kojim je njeno autorstvo moglo neproblematično da izađe sa onu stranu platna, i da pri tome ne izgubi nijedan detalj vlastite likovne vrednosti (izdvajaju se „Cigančica“, „Bosanska djevojčica“, „Konobar“). Ipak, njeno učešće na kolektivnoj Izložbi slikara iz Bosne (Beograd, 1939.) nije naišlo na odobravanje lokalne kritike. Negativni stavovi Pavla Vasića i Đorđa Popovića svedočili su o sve većoj…

This dissertation argues that the late-Victorian construct of the “New Woman” was integral to the development of a previously unrecognized literary and historical form of sympathy. Examining contemporaneous discussions of evolution, art, and affect alongside New Woman fiction, I explore how fin-de-siècle feminist authors uncoupled sympathy from essentialist understandings of femininity in order to align their heroines with more expansive forms of selfhood. This new sympathetic subjectivity was flexible rather than biologically fixed, socially directed rather than limited to the home, and imaginative and unorthodox rather than defaulting to normative familial allegiances. My first chapter reads Hester, the New Woman heroine of Mary Cholmondeley’s Red Pottage, in relation to Edward Carpenter’s theory of the gender malleability and sympathetic elasticity of the intermediate sex. I argue that Hester’s fluctuation between “masculine” and “feminine” dispositions redirects her sympathies from circumscribed domesticity to wider possibilities of aesthetic and social commitment. Chapter two situates Sarah Grand’s The Heavenly Twins alongside Vernon Lee’s concept of aesthetic empathy, which builds on William James’s embodied theory of emotion, to assert that corporeal responses to art can extend one’s sympathies. I suggest that when Grand’s Angelica cross-dresses as a boy, her newfound physical mobility and aesthetic invigoration lead to vitalizing sympathies antithetical to the imperative of feminine self-denial. Tracking another relationship between sympathy and art, chapter three shows how Mabel E. Wotton’s “The Fifth Edition” undermines the Victorian conflation of a supposedly imitative female sympathy with forms of literary derivation such as plagiarism. Instead, Wotton casts the transpersonal feelings of her female author figure as a creative force. The final chapter examines how Mona Caird’s Daughters of Danaus draws on post-Darwinian concepts such as atavism and ancestral memory to uphold inter-temporal sympathies, which enable its New Woman, Hadria, to transcend narrowly biological notions of sympathetic descent. Repurposing Victorian theories of the evolutionary diffusion of sympathy, these authors position their New Woman heroines as the harbingers of a more capacious affective age. This project thus illuminates how New Woman authors supplanted the fundamentally “feminine” feeling that constrained nineteenth-century women, reconfiguring sympathy as gender hybridic, socially expansive, and ultimately transformative.

▼ The study considers women as witnesses in New Zealand’s colonial courts from c.1840 to 1900. An analysis of women as witnesses adds another dimension to what is known about the everyday but often compelling presence of women in New Zealand’s colonial courts. In 1840 British law was formally implemented in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The law’s institutional structures would soon follow. In 1841 the Supreme Court was established followed by the Resident Magistrate Courts in 1846. The courts were a part of formal British governance. While women were excluded from serving as judges, barristers, solicitors, court officials and jury members, they did appear before the courts as victims, defendants, spectators and witnesses. Being a witness was the only form of verbal participation women could undertake in the court processes during the nineteenth century. Existing scholarly work has tended to concentrate on women appearing in the courts in the nineteenth century as victims or defendants. This study explores the complex agency of women using the law and as active participants in its deliberations. Four substantive chapters consider women as witnesses in cases involving petty offences, violent crime, civil cases and the Native Land Court and finally cases of divorce, bigamy and action of breach of promise of marriage. Courts were significant public places in colonial New Zealand. They were places where disputes were settled, grievances could be aired, conduct was put on trial and order was maintained. A long established element of the legal tradition was that unprejudiced and fair justice could only be assured if the courts were open and public spaces. Thus, the witness stand was a place where women had a public voice. Women’s eligibility to appear as witnesses in the court changed over the period under study. In 1840 when British law formally arrived in New Zealand women were restricted in the cases and circumstances in which they could take the stand. Wives were unable to give evidence in cases involving their husbands. From 1843 to 1889 gradual changes to evidence law allowed women to take the stand in different ways and by 1900 women appeared as witnesses in case types ranging from civil actions to the most violent offences in the criminal law. Changes in married women’s property law in 1860, and more significantly in 1884 and divorce law from 1867 generally extended the number and kind of cases in which women gave testimony in the courts. From the 1860s the Native Land Court became a familiar place for many Māori women forced to resort to the Court to establish title over land. Evidence suggests women’s knowledge of whakapapa and the oral histories of iwi and hapū were vital on the witness stand to ‘prove’ their link with land. The study shows the variety of ways in which the courts were places where women spoke on a public stage, and where their words were often recorded and reported on as part of the official proceedings of the justice system. As witnesses they were also in courtrooms where they watched and were… Advisors/Committee Members: Macdonald , Charlotte.
