Basic Examination

This paper means to address Virginia Woolf's own substitute her answer to "ladies can't paint, ladies can't compose", a reflection on the Victorian bias of the part of ladies in the family and society shared by both her people, Leslie and Julia Stephen. By connecting a nearby literary investigation with the latest mental basic examination, I contend that aside from the political, social and imaginative ramifications, Woolf's disposition to the Victorian generalizations identified with sexual orientation jobs convey a profoundly close to home message, being obviously affected and controlled by the relationship with her folks and her need to deceive rest some unsure issues concerning her status as a woman skilled worker. This paper further means to investigate Woolf's 1926 novel, To the Beacon, which is, without a doubt, her most self-portraying novel. Lily Briscoe, the unmarried painter who at long last figures out how to conceptualize Woolf's vision toward the finish of the novel has a twofold mission in this novel. In the first place, she needs to determine her own weaknesses and come to harmony with the memory of the expired Mrs Ramsay, an image of the Victorian lady what's more, Julia Stephen's creative change personality. Second, she needs to associate with Mr Ramsay and demonstrate to herself that ladies can, in fact, paint. As she develops as a painter Virginia Woolf is defeating her resentment and dissatisfaction caused by the way that she didn't not find a way into the by and large acknowledged example of the lady's part in the public eye and in the everyday life, and particularly of the situation with ladies as specialists. By making quite possibly the most difficult books of the English Literature, Virginia Woolf likewise demonstrates to herself and to the perusers that ladies can, to be sure compose.

Nas três partes do romance os acontecimentos giram em torno da morte, não só da morte física mas também de uma morte simbólica. Para tanto são apontadas algumas observações sobre subjetivismo e realidade objetiva, sobre temporalidade e sobre a própria prosa moderna nas formulações de Erich Auerbach. Em uma perspectiva empírica a autora aproxima o romance de sua realidade concreta, desnuda a dificuldade da escrita após um evento traumático além de apresentar aos leitores a fragilidade humana diante do inesperado.

In the three parts of the novel, events revolve around death, not only physical death but also a symbolic death. To this end, some observations on subjectivism and objective reality, on temporality, and on modern prose itself in the formulations of Erich Auerbach are pointed out. In an empirical perspective, the author brings the novel closer to its concrete reality, exposes the difficulty of writing after a traumatic event, as well as presenting the human frailty before the unexpected.

Though John Barth won the National Book Award for his novel, Giles Goat Boy, his second novel, The End of the Road, proves a more interesting case study for our purposes, namely, to explore the relationship between philosophy and literature. This is so for at least three reasons. First, by the author's own admission, the novel is intended as a refutation of ethical subjectivism, particularly as expoused by Jean Paul Sartre. Secondly, in the novel, Barth, like Virginia Woolf in To the Lighthouse, places reason and imagination in contention, suggesting that either faculty in isolation is inadequate in dealing with human experience. Both Barth and Woolf are reflecting and probably criticizing the assumption of a number of contemporary writers and critics, namely, that rational discourse is inadequate to the task of ordering the chaotic, fragmentary world and giving meaning to life and only the poet (novelist) employing his imagination can do this.

Time is an important element in modern literature, has always been one of the most important themes of Virginia Woolf’s novels. The purpose of this paper is to look at Woolf treatment of the movement of time within the conscious mind in the novel in title of To the Light House by Virginia Woolf. One conclusion drawn from this study is that Woolf began to use time as a literary element, thereby decreasing her development of plot and characterization. A second conclusion is that she was greatly influenced by the philosophy of Henri Bergson and that consequently her writing increasingly reflects the fluid movement of time within consciousness. This paper demonstrates that Virginia Woolf used time as a formal element of narrative to show the relationship of time to human consciousness; and she never overlooked the fact that time moves human beings toward death. For Woolf, life is characterized by endless variety and movement. Its exquisite beauty is enhanced by knowing that we humans live short lives and lose everything when we die.

This chapter presents a 1997 interview with Mustafa Badawi and includes sections relating to his early life and education until 1947 when he was sent to England to pursue further studies in English. Badawi first talks about the years of his early formation in the family, the neighbourhood and his various schools in Alexandria before discussing his cultural formation in the city. He reveals that he decided to specialise in English language in order to deepen his study of English literature so that he could see Arabic literature in the wider context of world literature. Badawi also describes his attitudes towards literature and criticism, which he says involved three essential questions: the relationship between literature and politics; the relationship between literature and morality; and the nature of language and its function in poetry, and consequently the relationship between poetry and science, or between poetry and thought or knowledge in general.

These aspects consist of aspects of socio-cultural change through the family and aspects of violence in the family from a feminist point of view. The source of data in this reseaech is the novel Atap by Fira Basuki. The data in this research were obtained from words, sentences, or expressions contained in the novel which refer to aspects of socio-cultural change through the family and aspects of family violence from a feminist point of view. The results showed that in socio-cultural changes through the family, it was found that there was still a gender bias towards justice that was obtained by women. Gender bias is also found in the female characters Kunti, Jane and Mak Umah as a result of violence in the family from a feminist point of view. Based on the problems that arise in socio-cultural relations through the family, it should be addressed wisely and directed in the form of protection. For example, legal protection is made and the public understands the existing forms of legal protection.

Resumo: O presente trabalho estuda o heterodiscurso no romance Memórias de Lázaro, do escritor baiano Adonias Filho. Como instrumento de análise, utilizou-se a noção bakhtiniana de heterodiscurso no exame da relação entre o protagonista-narrador Alexandre e a personagem Jerônimo; o estudo indicou a influência dessa personagem como determinante para a estética da narração da obra. A transmissão de discursos mostrou-se fundamental nessa relação sob a forma de um heterodiscurso sobre o mal que não só solidifica o vínculo familiar entre Alexandre e Jerônimo, mas também estabelece o fundamento das condições de legalidade do mal na diegese. Além disso, a construção discursiva de Jerônimo apresentou-se como um heterodiscurso social sobre a zona baiana do cacau de meados do século XX que contrasta com o de outras obras da literatura brasileira ambientadas nesse contexto.Palavras-chave: Adonias Filho; heterodiscurso; Memórias de Lázaro.Abstract: This paper studies the heterodiscourse in the novel Memórias de Lázaro, by the Bahian writer Adonias Filho. The Bakhtinian notion of heterodiscourse was used as an analytical tool to examine the relationship between the protagonist-narrator Alexandre and the character Jerônimo; the study indicated the influence of this character as determinant for the narrative aesthetics of the novel. The discourse transmission proved to be fundamental in the relationship between Alexandre and Jerônimo functioning under the form of a heterodiscourse about the evil that not only solidifies the family bond between them, but also establishes the foundations of the conditions of evil in the diegesis. In addition, Jerônimo’s discursive construction presented itself as a social heterodiscourse about the mid-20th century Bahian Cocoa Zone that contrasts with that of other works of Brazilian literature set in this context.Keywords: Adonias Filho; heterodiscourse; Memórias de Lázaro.

Robert Broom was born on 30 November 1866 at 66 Back Sneddon Street, Paisley. He was the third child of John Broom and his wife, Agnes Hunter Shearer. The family of Broom is supposed to have originated from a John Broom who came to Scotland in Cromwell’s army in 1650 and settled near Linlithgow, the family remaining in East Stirlingshire until, in about 1820, Broom’s grandfathei settled in Glasgow, and married Ann Hunter of Highland ancestry. They .lad two sons, James, an engraver and lithographer who died young of consumption, and John, who was a designer for calico prints and Paisley shawls. When fashion changed and such work became impossible John went into commerce, eventually settling at Burnbridge near Linlithgow, half-way between Edinburgh and Glasgow. John Broom was a cultured man with a wide knowledge of English literature and of painting. Robert Broom was a sickly child, with adenoids and much bronchitis, and was, when six years old, sent to Millport (where the Marine Station now is) to live with his grandmother. There he met an army officer, John Leavach, aged eighty-three, who had fought in the Peninsular and American wars, but was a keen naturalist, who introduced Broom to marine life and to a microscope. Indeed, Broom used this original instrument for more than sixty years. At Burnbridge, Broom was reunited with his father, then an enthusiastic botanist, and constantly met as a family friend Peter Cameron, who became the great authority on Hymenoptera. To his influence Broom attributed his devotion to natural history. Broom had little schooling until at ten years old he entered Hutcheson’s Grammar School at Glasgow, and in 1883, at seventeen years of age, became a laboratory assistant to Professor J. Ferguson. In this position Broom became much interested in chemistry, and eventually ‘did most of the public analyses sent to the laboratory’.
