  • A Fish in a Stream on Body and Memory in Virginia Woolf's
    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8026.2021.e79128 A FISH IN A STREAM ON BODY AND MEMORY IN VIRGINIA WOOLF’S “A SKETCH OF THE PAST” Ana Carolina de Carvalho Mesquita1* 1Independent Researcher, São Paulo, SP, Brasil Abstract This article examines the deadlocks foregrounded in recreating and reconstituting memory in Virginia Woolf’s “A Sketch of the Past” from the body’s perspective. “Body” is seen here as a category to reflect upon the meanings of women’s marginality and resistance. Of particular interest are the hiatuses of memory in “Sketch,” for recovering her own body and establishing a voice from within it constituted a conflicting and contradictory process, to which Virginia Woolf responded with unique narrative strategies. General and private perspectives merge, not only because of the troubles of not being personal when writing one’s own life but because Woolf claims that leaving out “the person to whom things happen” is undesirable. Even though she may meet silence when including herself personally in her writings, silence is embraced as a constituent. I suggest that much in the same way Woolf juxtaposes temporalities and subjectivities in “Sketch,” personality, impersonality, and their absence (or connectedness, which is another way of seeing it) are also juxtaposed in a kind of palimpsest that does not overlook corporeality but acknowledges it as essential.

  • Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock
    ABSTRACT A Dark Mirror: Duality and Reflections in Stephen King's Writers Alexis Hitchcock Director: Dr. Lynne Hinojosa, Ph.D. Stephen King is well known for popular horror fiction but has recently been addressed more thoroughly by literary critics. While most studies focus on horror themes and the relationships between various characters, this thesis explores the importance of the author characters in three works by Stephen King: Misery, The Dark Half, and The Shining. The introduction gives a background of Stephen King as an author of popular horror fiction and discusses two themes that are connected to his author characters: doppelgängers and duality, and the idea of the death of the author. The death of the author is the idea that an author's biography should not affect the interpretation of a text. Implicit in this idea is the notion that the separation of an author from his work makes the text more literary and serious. The second chapter on Misery explores the relationship between the author and the readership or fans and discusses Stephen King’s divide caused by his split between his talent as an author of popular fiction and a desire to be a writer of literary fiction. The third chapter concerning The Dark Half explores Stephen King’s use of the pseudonym Richard Bachman and the splitting this created within himself and the main character of his novel. The last chapter includes discussion of The Shining and the author character’s split in personality caused by alcohol and supernatural sources. Studying the author characters and their doppelgängers reveals the unique stance King takes on the “death of the author” idea and shows how he represents the splitting of the self within his works.

Jones, the government took an extreme position: so far as the federal Constitution is concerned, law enforcement can surreptitiously electronically track the movements of any American over the course of an entire month without cause or restraint. According to the government, whether the surveillance is for good reason, invidious reason, or no reason, the Fourth Amendment is not implicated. Fortunately, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected that position. The Court did not, however, resolve what restriction or restraint the Fourth Amendment places upon location surveillance, reflecting proper judicial restraint in this nuanced and difficult area.

  • 2020 Multicultural Calendar
    2020 MULTICULTURAL CALENDAR Cultural Perspectives on Ageing CORALIE CASSADY ABORIGINAL Coralie identifies as Aboriginal, her grandmother’s ancestral connection being the ‘Jirrbal’ people of the Atherton Tablelands area. Both her maternal grandparents were sent to Palm Island where Coralie’s mother was born in 1927. Coralie was born in Innisfail, raised in Ingham and has been living in Townsville since 2000. She graduated from James Cook University with a Diploma of Communication (2001) and also holds a Diploma of Radio Broadcasting from the Batchelor Institute, North Territory (2006). Coralie Cassady has self-published two poetry books ‘Poetic Perspective’ (2001) and ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ (2007). Her poem ‘No Disgrace’ from the book ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ is now a part of the Australian curriculum, having been published in Pearson’s English 9 textbook in 2012. The same poem also appears on the well informed indigenous themed ‘Creative Spirits’ website. She writes about racism, alcohol abuse, mental health issues, domestic violence, politics and family in general. Coralie’s main passion is mental health issues. She has read her mental health poems and other poems at various events and has been a regular contributor to ‘letters to the editor’ of the Townsville Bulletin on many topics during the past 15 years. Coralie added these reflections during our interview. “Although we speak English at home our traditional language from our ancestral tribe ‘Jirrbal’ is slowly being revived. I usually attend our NAIDOC week events. I read my poem
