The altar flaming in the distance, the solemn invocation, the pealing music of the mystic song, altogether producing a combination so awful, as nearly to overpower reality, and make one half believe the enchantment which delighted our senses. —Thomas Barnes, review of Remorse in the Examiner (January 31, 1813) he cover of this book, Pieter Breughel’s epic canvas The Battle of Car- Tnival and Lent (1566), depicts the denizens of an early modern euro- pean village engaged in a variety of activities that would have occurred on that specific day of transition including, off in the upper left corner, gawking at a public performance of the popular carnival pantomime Val- entine and Orson. This 1489 French legendary tale concerns the adven- tures of noble twin brothers who have been separated at birth, one of them raised in the wild by a she-bear, the other brought up as a prince at court. This tale was so popular that it was first transformed into a street play and then chapbook form, in which it spread throughout european culture for three hundred years. in 1794 it was adapted as a melodrama by Thomas Dibdin, who altered the plot in a significant way. he has the two brothers meet by accident in the forest as adults, the cultivated valentine serving wine to the bear-mother so that she dies, leaving Orson desolate (i.v). it is no coincidence that Valentine and Orson was typically performed by traveling troupes on the cusp of the religious calendar, during that period when carnival excess becomes Lenten penance and abstinence. in telling a tale that foregrounds a variety of transitions (from rural to urban; from { xiii } P re f A c E and A c kn o wledgmen t s “raw” to “cooked”), the play literally makes the maternal forest home of Orson a place of das unheimliche.1 Its resurgence in popularity during this period can be seen as illus- trating the “civilizing” and secularizing processes that natalie Davis and Mikhail Bakhtin (1968) have associated with the early modern european carnival and the development of urban centers in Breughel’s period.2 as Charles Taylor has more recently noted, the carnival is but one manifes- tation of the “need for anti-structure” or what he calls ritualistic public displays of controlled chaos being “brought into a new founding of order” (47). For Taylor, who employs the theories of victor Turner and arnold van Gennep, the carnival gradually extended beyond a few days to become an “unofficial zone” in which the imagination was given free rein and where a “public imaginary” could flourish in the spheres of art, music, literature, and theater (52). initially, these public performances of the “human code of complementarity” put forward the notion that all of us are members of a “communitas, fundamentally equal” and living in dependent coexistence with each other, the weak with the strong and all protected by an omnipo- tent deity (49–50). But gradually the productions of the public imaginary began to display the very processes by which european society acted out its ambivalent rejection of its earlier structuring principles, that is, its alle- giance to God, king, priest, and patriarch. This earliest form of seculariza- tion, the secularization of public spaces, continued until the final stage of secularization could emerge, that is, internal transformations in subjec- tivity and the ability to embrace simultaneously multiple and contradictory belief systems. This book analyzes how those transformations in interiority and conscience were staged and culturally disseminated through a variety of popular gothic productions (operas, dramas, melodramas, ballads, and chapbooks), while at the same time examining how the gothic itself was a secularizing mode that shaped a number of art forms and had multiple points of presence in popular european culture. Although Valentine and Orson is not generally considered part of the gothic canon, there are a number of gothic tropes in the work, particularly the death of the doubled bear-“mother” and the rescue of the biological mother Belisanta from a giant, and so i am interested in positioning this one particular work, and its transmutations through different literary forms, as representative of the larger argument of this book. What i would call the secularizing agenda of the gothic imaginary (as well as the interre- lated and mediating genres of sentimentalism and melodrama) arose and flourished during this particular period, roughly the mid-eighteenth cen- tury through the early nineteenth century, throughout Britain, France, and “Germany” because all three developing nation-states were assailed by reli- { xiv } P re f A c E and A c kn o wledgmen t s gious, political, and social changes that they were ill equipped to accommo- date so quickly.3 in particular, the world of early modern europe, a society dominated by the religious calendar and the festivities that we see depicted in Breughel’s painting, was a culture thoroughly informed by traditional religious beliefs. religious liturgies, texts, and doctrinal beliefs had been embraced and practiced for close to two thousand years and had functioned persistently for this culture as both its structuring principle and bulwark. The role of religion and what we might recognize as its more popular mani- festations, superstition and magic, in the daily lives of Western europeans were effectively undercut by the forces of secularization that were gaining momentum on every front, particularly by 1800. it is clear, though, that the lower class and the emerging bourgeoisie were loath to discard their traditional beliefs, and we can see their search for a sense of transcendent order and spiritual meaning in life in the continuing popularity of gothic performances, as well as May Day celebrations, halloween, Christmas har- lequinades, and the highly stylized and almost ritualistic theatrical produc- tions based on fairy tales or myths, all events that demonstrate that there was more than a residue of a religious calendar or a “thirst for the Sacred” (Brooks, 16) still operating in the public performative realm. In addition, the gothic aesthetic emerged during this period as an ideo- logically contradictory and complex discourse system, what i am calling a secularizing of the uncanny, a way of alternately valorizing and at the same time slandering the realms of the supernatural, the sacred, the maternal, the primitive, the numinous,4 and das unheimliche.5 Defining das unheimliche is frequently done by contrasting it with heim, literally meaning, as Freud reminds us, a home or secure space, and in Grimm’s Dictionary a place “free from ghostly influences.” Typically, theorists of the uncanny conceive of it as a repetitive, disturbing, haunting figure that intrudes into a largely secular domain, so that a culture in which religion still thrives does not organize itself much around the uncanny as a category (royle 2003; Punter 2007).

    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette English Faculty Research and Publications English, Department of 1-1-2012 Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature Diane Hoeveler Marquette University, [email protected] Published version. "Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature," in L'obsession à l'œuvre: littérature, cinéma et société en Grande-Bretagne. Eds. Jean- François Baiollon and Paul Veyret. Bourdeaux: CLIMAS, 2012: 15-32. Publisher Link. © 2012 CLIMAS. Used with permission. Obsessing about the Catholic Other: Religion and the Secularization Process in Gothic Literature Perhaps it was totally predictable that the past year has seen both the publication of a major book by Lennard Davis entitled Obsession!, as well as a new two player board game called "Obsession" in which one player wins by moving his ten rings along numbered slots. Interest in obsession, it would seem, is everywhere in high and low cultures. For Davis, obsession is both a cultural manifestation of what modernity has wrought, and a psychoanalytical phenomenon: in fact, he defines it as a recurring thought whose content has become disconnected from its original significance causing the dominance of repetitive mental intrusions (Davis 6). Recent studies have revealed that there are five broad categories of obsession: dirt and contamination, aggression, the placing of inanimate objects in order, sex, and finally religion2 Another recent study, however, claims that obsessive thoughts generally center on three main themes: the aggressive, the sexual, or the blasphemous (qtd. Davis 9). It is that last category - the blasphemous - that I think emerges in British gothic literature of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, particularly as seen in the persistent anti-Catholicism that plays such a central role in so many of those works (Radcliffe's The italian, Lewis's The Monk, and Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer being only the most obvious).

  • The Funeral of Mr. Wang Was Typical
    6 Of Rules and Regulations Governing Mourning Grief involves the loss of a social relationship that had served as an anchor. This loss disorients. Not knowing what to do, the grief-stricken want to be showed what to do, told what to do. A standardized ritual to follow step by step and a person to guide one through it can help. In the language of “governmentality” theorists, grief is a time to be governed, whether this governing is to be done by familial elders, religious specialists, secular ritual practitioners, or government employees.1 In this regard, the funeral of Mr. Wang was typical. Mr. Wang’s children, espe- cially his younger daughter, were exhausted from the extra work of caring for their father during his dying days. In this period, the children avoided discussing death. While they told the middle daughter to return from England, too much talk of dying and funerals would have made it seem like they had abandoned all hope of a cure and were wishing their father dead. Mr. Wang himself was never directly told of his prognosis. When death occurred, the children were exhausted, bereaved, and unprepared. They needed someone to tell them how to proceed. A little nudge from their helper led them to Mr. Chen. They were more than happy to have him to guide them through the process. While all rituals might involve standardized procedure, funerals especially are times for limiting choice. Here a contrast with weddings illuminates. In modern marriages, choice is a necessary component. When the Communist Party came to power in 1949, it banned purely arranged marriages.

  • Katarina Dalayman Soprano
    KATARINA DALAYMAN SOPRANO BIOGRAPHY LONG VERSION Swedish soprano Katarina Dalayman has sustained a long and prestigious international career in the dramatic repertoire and she has enjoyed enduring collaborations with many of today’s foremost conductors. Strong, dramatic interpretations married with impeccable musicianship are her characteristics. Dalayman has performed a wide range of roles including Isolde (Tristan und Isolde), Marie (Wozzeck), Lisa (Queen of Spades), Ariadne (Ariadne auf Naxos), Katarina Ismailova (Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk) and the title role of Elektra. With a particularly strong association to Wagner's Brünnhilde, Dalayman has appeared in Ring cycles at The Metropolitan Opera, Opéra National de Paris, Wiener and Bayerische staatsoper, Teatro alla Scala, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Semperoper Dresden, Salzburger Festspiele and Festival d’Aix en Provence. Looking ahead to the next phase in her career, Katarina Dalayman’s repertoire is now focused on new roles, having recently made her debut as Kundry (Parsifal) in Dresden, Paris and Stockholm, Judith (Duke Bluebeard’s Castle) in Barcelona and London (Royal Opera House), Ortrud (Lohengrin) with Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and Brangäne (Tristan und Isolde) at The Metropolitan Opera. She has recently appeared as Herodias (Salome) for Royal Swedish Opera, Foreign Princess (Rusalka) at The Metropolitan Opera, Klytämnestra (Elektra), Amneris (Aida), and Kostelnicka (Jenůfa), all for Royal Swedish Opera. Among recent performances can be mentioned her highly celebrated interpretation of Kundry at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, a production that was broadcasted around the world in the Mets “Live in HD” performance transmissions, an appearance together with Bryn Terfel in Die Walküre at the Tanglewood Festival in USA, an interpretation of Carmen and Elisabetta in Maria Stuarda both at the Royal Swedish Opera and Ortrud in Lohengrin, with the Concertgebouw Orchestra.

  • Haunted Narratives: the Afterlife of Gothic Aesthetics in Contemporary Transatlantic Women’S Fiction
    HAUNTED NARRATIVES: THE AFTERLIFE OF GOTHIC AESTHETICS IN CONTEMPORARY TRANSATLANTIC WOMEN’S FICTION Jameela F. Dallis A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Minrose Gwin Shayne A. Legassie James Coleman María DeGuzmán Ruth Salvaggio © 2016 Jameela F. Dallis ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jameela F. Dallis: Haunted Narratives: The Afterlife of Gothic Aesthetics in Contemporary Transatlantic Women’s Fiction (Under the direction of Minrose Gwin and Shayne A. Legassie) My dissertation examines the afterlife of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Gothic aesthetics in twentieth and twenty-first century texts by women. Through close readings and attention to aesthetics and conventions that govern the Gothic, I excavate connections across nation, race, and historical period to engage critically with Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, 1959; Angela Carter’s “The Lady of the House of Love,” 1979; Shani Mootoo’s Cereus Blooms at Night, 1996; and Toni Morrison’s Love, 2003. These authors consciously employ such aesthetics to highlight and critique the power of patriarchy and imperialism, the continued exclusion of others and othered ways of knowing, loving, and being, and the consequences of oppressing, ignoring, or rebuking these peoples, realities, and systems of meaning. Such injustices bear evidence to the effects of transatlantic commerce fueled by the slave trade and the appropriation and conquering of lands and peoples that still exert a powerful oppressive force over contemporary era peoples, especially women and social minorities.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.
