scholarly journals Style and Sense in William Faulkner's A Rose for Emily

Author(s):  
Zhao Qing

<p>A Rose for Emily is a typical Gothic-style novel, intimately associated with the characteristics of Gothic literature: 1. Ghostly and horrible environment; 2. The tone of death; 3. Uncanny character images. Generally speaking, Gothic literature reveals the gloomy, dark, sad and mysterious literary styles, but what fascinates us most is the creation of atmosphere—being horrific, thrilling and intensive, which give people different kinds of sensory touches—Visually, physically and even spiritually. This Gothic style places emphasis on both emotion and a pleasurable kind of terror, thus embodying the senses of a quest for a horrible atmosphere, and an appreciation of the joys of extreme emotion as well as the thrills of fearfulness to readers.</p>

RESUMEN Hay que pensar la decolonialidad en relación a las artes. En esta entrevista exploramos cómo las artes decoloniales se diferencian de la estética moderna/colonial. La decolonización de la estética conlleva la liberación de a la aiesthesis, es decir de las formas de relacionarnos con el mundo y de hacer mundo a través de los sentidos. La aiesthesis decolonial se distingue de los principios del arte contemporáneo y en particular de su sujeción a la temporalidad moderna, abriéndonos hacia las temporalidades relacionales. Los artistas decoloniales ejercen una temporalidad distinta que conlleva no sólo una crítica radical al orden de la representación y de la visualidad modernas sino que también nos dan la posibilidad de entender a la decolonialidad cómo un movimiento cargado de esperanza, cargado de la posibilidad de nombrar y vivenciar los mundos interculturales que han sido negados. PALABRAS CLAVE Decolonialidad, tiempo relacional, esperanza, cuerpo, interculturalidad KAI SUTI AESTHESIS ÑAGPAMANDA KAUSAKUNA TUKUIKUNAWA TAPUCHI SUG RUNATA ROLANDO VÁSQUEZ SUTITA SUGLLAPI Kaipi kawachinakumi iska ruraikuna ñugpamanda chasallata kunaurramanda.

INTERVIEW WITH ROLANDO VÁSQUEZ ABSTRACT We have to hink the decoloniality in relation with the arts. This interview explores the difference between the modern/colonial aesthetic and the decolonial arts. The aesthetic decolonization leads to the release of the aesthesis, ergo it relates in every way to the connection and creation of a world through the senses. The decolonial aesthesis is particularly different from the contemporary art principles in the way it grasps the modern temporality consenting the creation of a path toward relational temporalities. The decolonial artists exercise a different temporality that results in not only a radical criticism to the modern representation and visuality but it makes possible to understand the decolonialization as a hopeful movement, full of possibilities for naming and experiencing neglected intercultural worlds. KEYWORDS Decolonialization, relational time, hope, body, interculturality ESTEHÉSIE DÉCOLONIALE ET LE TEMPS RELATIONNELS. ENTRETIEN À ROLANDO VASQUEZ RÉSUMÉ Il faut penser la décolonisation en relation aux arts. Dans cet entretien on explore comment les arts décoloniaux sont différents de l’esthétique moderne-coloniale. La décolonisation de l’esthétique entraîne la libération de l’estehésie, c’est-à-dire, la libération des façons de nous mettre en relation avec le monde et d’en créer un nouveau à travers les sens. L’estehésie décoloniale se différence des principes de l’art contemporain, principalement pour son fixation à la modernité en nous emmenant vers les temporalités relationnelles. Les artistes décoloniaux exercent avec une temporalité qui n’implique pas juste une critique radicale à l’ordre de la représentation et de la vision moderne, mais aussi de la possibilité de comprendre la décolonisation comme un mouvement plein d’espoir, chargé d’une possibilité de nommer et de mettre en relief les interculturalités qu’ont été niées. MOTS-CLEFS Décolonisation, temps relationnels, espoir, corps, interculturalité ESTESIA DESCOLONIAL E O TEMPO RELACIONAL ENTREVISTA A ROLANDO VAZQUEZ RESUMO Temos que pensar a descolonização em relação as artes. Nesta entrevista é explorado como as artes descoloniais são diferentes da estética moderna-colonial. A descolonização da estética conduz a emancipação da estesia, isto é, das formas de relacionamento com o mundo e da fôrma de fazer mundo a partir dos sentidos. A estesia descolonial distinguese dos princípios da arte contemporânea particularmente pela fixação o tempo moderno, abrindo-nos para a temporalidades relacionales. Os artistas descoloniais exercem uma temporalidade diferente que implica não só uma crítica radical à ordem da representação e à visão moderna, mas também à possibilidade de entender a descolonização como um movimento cheio de esperança, carregado da possibilidade de designar e viver os mundos interculturais que foram negados. PALAVRAS CHAVES Descolonização, esperança, tempo relacional, fôrma, intercultural.   Recibido el 20 de enero de 2015 Aceptado el 26 de febrero de 2015

The first part of this paper provides background and motivation for McLuhan's concept of alienation as a consequence of modern visual culture. Since this culture has been predominantly produced by means of traditional media, and not by economical organisation of production, the insight in media structures uncovers the very existence of certain sense ratio's disproportion. Bearing that the linear world of writing should take on responsibility for a sense ratio disorder, the author analyses McLuhan's suggestion that the turn towards new electronic media implies the current changes with which the new media are destroying the old selfhood. After questioning the reasons for utterly optimistic expectations of new audiovisual media to provide the key support for the establishing of the genuine, balanced and fair-minded human, the author points out the suitability of the idea about the creation of new media self-awareness thanks to the aesthetical contributions in studying of new approaches to various models of sensitiveness. In conclusion, the author claims that an aesthetician is then no longer just an expert for artistic transcendence, but also a therapist of the threatened equilibrium among the senses.

This chapter focuses on the sensual response to violence in the first few years of empire in India and the Philippines. It outlines the history of how the British came to India in the mid-nineteenth century, and the Americans to the Philippines at the end of the century. It also shows how important a part violence and war played in the creation of these two empires. The chapter relates violence and rebellion to the senses of taste and sight. It examines the Great Rebellion in India (1857-58) and the American war in the Philippines (1898-1902), looking at their causes and consequences, and the first sensual sensory encounters in these places. The chapter also looks at how soundscapes can be changed by war.

This paper aims at investigating the use of the literary space in Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher (1839) through its relations regarding the characters and the plot; also, its role in the creation of a unique ambience based in the combination of gothic elements. It approaches the object by Bakthin’s (1981) theory of the chronotope in order to explain the literary effects achieved by its use as a fictional tool. Furthermore, this study closes with a comparison between the house and the protagonist Roderick Usher, proposing that the former might be also perceived as a character itself.

"Music" is a unique creation of the universe, which transmits the senses of the conscious mind of the human being in the pastoral world to create a feeling of unlimited bliss.Innovation in music is the transmission of the emotion of the mind, which is influenced by the environment. Along with the creation and development of the universe, the expression of intensely sensitive feelings of the human mind was communicated in the form of nad (music). Brahm Swaroop "Nad" has contributed significantly in setting the human mind to the pinnacle of divinity by enlightening the Veda knowledge. ‘‘संगीत‘‘ सृष्टि की अनुपम कृति है,जो चराचर जगत में मानव केे चेतन मन की संवेदनाओं को संचारित करके असीम आनंद की अनुभूति कराती है।संगीत में नवाचार मन के संवेग का संचरण है,जो वातावरण से प्रभावित होता है। सृष्टि की रचना एवं विकास के साथ साथ ही मानव मन की तीव्र संवेदनशील भावनाओं की अभिव्यक्ति का संचार नाद(संगीत) के रूप में हुआ। ब्रह्म स्वरूप ”नाद” ने वेद ज्ञान को सामगान से आलोकित करके मानव मन को देवत्व के शिखर पर स्थापित करने में महत्वपूर्ण योगदान दिया है।

This article aims to investigate the involvement of sound, specifically electronic generated or modified sounds in the construction of the impression of reality in cinematographic experience. From an analysis of Jean-Louis Baudry on the film apparatus, I propose that, although often underestimated, sound is a fundamental tool in the mobilization of the senses and, therefore, the creation of an immersive space. Following Baudry, cinematic experience has intrinsic relations to the state of dream. The absence of a “test of reality” effectuated by our motor mechanisms would give the favorable conditions for a misled interpretation of representations as if they were genuine perceptions. This is a usual process in dream state. Cinema, as commonly compared to dream conditions, deals with a similar effacement of reality perceptions in order to instigate a new sort of “real”. How can we describe the process of turning into reality soundscapes which components do not have, themselves, an immediate relation to concrete objects? How can those electronic sounds contribute in this process of new realities construction?

Este artigo relata uma oficina de tradução intersemiótica, evidenciado pelo encontro de duas linguagens: a fílmica e a literária. Ao analisar esse encontro, nota-se a correlação entre ambas, enquanto a manifestação do modo narrativo, mas que se distinguem, ao mesmo tempo, pela especificidade da linguagem quanto a sua natureza. O objetivo principal desta oficina foi estudar e criar um cordel literário com sua estrutura formal e poética a partir de uma narrativa fílmica e que configurou uma tradução intersemiótica. É importante ressaltar que o século XXI é rico em manifestações, que procuram uma maior interação entre as linguagens. E a oficina de tradução permitiu a interação aluno/professor/obra e toca no que há de mais profundo na criação. Esta renova as formas estéticas, que provocam a aparição de qualidades nunca antes evidenciadas. Assim sendo, a tradução intersemiótica possibilita uma forma mais atenta de leitura e que se evidenciou na oficina de cordel literário. O aluno, enquanto tradutor, usou de qualidades criativas e de sensibilidade no ato de criação. A tradução intersemiótica serviu de suporte e de meio para tornar mais atraente e crítico o trabalho desenvolvido por ela pensar as diversas formas de artes fundindo o lúdico e o lúcido rompendo as fronteiras dos sentidos e também aproximando a literatura dos discentes. Fundamentam, teoricamente, a oficina de tradução intersemiótica alguns autores como Adorno e Horkheimer, Benjamin, Cândido, Bernardet, Jakobson, Plaza entre outros. Palavras-chave: Linguagem Fílmica. Linguagem Literária. Criação. Tradução Intersemiótica. AbstractThis article describes an intersemiotic workshop translation, as evidenced by the encounter of two languages: the films and literature. When analyzing this encounter, it is observed the correlation between both, while narrative mode manifestation, but they distinguish themselves, at the same time, by the language specificity regarding its nature. The main goal of this workshop was to study and create a cordel literature with its formal and poetic structure from a films narrative and which set up an intersemiotic translation. It is important to highlight that the 21st century is rich in events, seeking a greater interaction between the languages. And the translation workshop allowed the student/professor/ masterpiece interaction and it deals with what is the most profound in creation. This renews the aesthetic shapes, which bring about the appearance of qualities never seen before. Thus, the intersemiotic translation enables a more attentive way of reading and that was evident in the cordel literature workshop. The student, as a translator, made use of creative qualities and of sensitivity when it comes to the creation act. The intersemiotic translation served as a support and environment to make it more attractive and critical the work developed by it, to think the various forms of arts merging the playful and lucid breaking the boundaries of the senses and also approaching the learners’ literature. Theoretically, the intersemiotic translation workshop is based in some authors such as Adorno and Horkheimer, Benjamin, Cândido Bernardet, Jakobson, Plaza among others. Keywords: Films Language. Literature Language. Creation. Intersemiotic Translation.

In this essay I argue that blindness offers up a most fruitful perspective through which to rethink the visualist aesthetics of dance. As will become clear from three case studies, both choreographers and performers often draw on blindness's multisensory knowledge and practices as to transform the creation, transmission and reception of contemporary dance. Whether through the auditory exploration of space and presence or the haptic appropriation of another's movement into one's own body, blindness brings along an intensely affective, sensory plenitude to the dance theatre, which is at odds with the formalism and distanced judgment typical of the more conventional, predominantly visual approach to dance. The result of such promising experiments within contemporary dance is the emergence of a more inclusive aesthetics in which the creative potential of sensory differences is no longer suppressed, but ultimately acknowledged.
