SURVIVAL AND METAMORPHOSIS IN CONTEMPORARY BRITISH LITERATURE Ana Raquel Lourenço Fernandes DOUTORAMENTO EM ESTUDOS LITERÁRIOS (Literatura Comparada) 2008 UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE LETRAS CENTRO DE ESTUDOS COMPARATISTAS WHAT ABOUT THE ROGUE ? SURVIVAL AND METAMORPHOSIS IN CONTEMPORARY BRITISH LITERATURE Ana Raquel Lourenço Fernandes Orientação: Professora Doutora Isabel Maria da Cunha Rosa Fernandes DOUTORAMENTO EM ESTUDOS LITERÁRIOS (Literatura Comparada) 2008 Abstract What about the Rogue? Survival and Metamorphosis in Contemporary British Literature The present dissertation aims at giving an account of the significance of the rogue in contemporary British literature, focusing on this character’s survival and metamorphosis particularly from the second half of the 20th century onwards. The thesis is divided into five sections, comprising three main chapters. The opening section is a general introduction showing the main steps in my approach to the subject under discussion and the attending methodology. In the first chapter I deal with the origins of the literature of roguery and the development of the rogue. Starting with the analysis of six previously selected novels, the second chapter studies the revival of the rogue mainly in the 1950s, adopting a comparative perspective. For this purpose I analyse and contextualise the following works: Joyce Cary’s The Horse’s Mouth (1944) and Iris Murdoch’s Under the Net (1954); John Wain’s Hurry on Down (1953), Kingsley Amis’s Lucky Jim (1954), John Braine’s Room at the Top (1957) and Allan Sillitoe’s Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1958). This section closes with an analysis of the transformations undergone by Bill Naughton’s radio play, Alfie Elkins and His Little Life (1962), making manifest the multiple possibilities inherent in a character such as the rogue. -
Planning the Portuguese “Riviera”. the Expectations of the Touristic-Urbanistic Developments of “Costa Do Sol”: Lisbon-Cascais
Planning the portuguese “Riviera”. The expectations of the touristic-urbanistic developments of “Costa do Sol”: Lisbon-Cascais Carlos Henriques Ferreira Faculty of Architecture, Technical University of Lisbon (FAUTL), Research Centre of Architecture, Urbanism and Design (CIAUD) [email protected] Abstract New paradigms of leisure began to assert themselves in Europe, throughout the nineteenth century, highlighting the importance of new territorial dynamics associated with the fluxes of vacation areas (vilegiature). In parallel with spas, a “bathing cult” in the beach, combined with gambling, gained prominence. The French Riviera served as a reference for new coastal tourism developments in Southern Europe. The Lisbon Coast, especially the western part, is one of the major milestones in the Portuguese tourism genealogy and it should be referenced in this cultural context, stating the importance of the international tourist resorts such as Estoril and Cascais. Through the consulted sources, the reference as “Riviera Portuguesa” is noted for this coast, mainly from the beginning of the twentieth century. The Lisbon-Cascais coastline subject to successive urban interventions, focused on the recovery and tourist development idea, represents a legacy of great importance, considering the relationship between tourism and urban planning. Keywords: Tourism, Urbanism, Evasion Architectures, Costa do Sol, Lisbon-Cascais The Portuguese Riviera as a Touristic Legacy The meaning of the word Tourism has changed throughout time, being successively enriched with the exploration of new social practices connected to leisure and a progressive expansion to other social classes. The Grand Tour of the XVIII century, referenced by the English elites (Boyer, 2000) and considered the genesis of contemporary expression of tourism, expanded its scope, integrating the new social practices, where it should be highlighted the growing importance of ritual baths in spas and afterwards in the sea.
