Allen Dissertation Director Benjamin Hufbauer Mary Ann Stenger DEDICATION To Michael, Caleb, and Ethan, who awaken me continually to the wonders of becoming . .. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS lowe my dissertation director, Annette Allen, more than I can express. I first became acquainted with Virginia Woolf under Dr. Allen's tutelage, and through this exposure I have been granted an unexpected and miraculous sense of belonging in the world. Dr. Allen continually fosters my creativity and contributes to my flourishing. This project could not have come to fruition without the intervention of those whose commitments to natality have given me faith in beginnings. To my parents, Anne and Rusty Jackson, I extend gratitude. I am especially thankful to my mother for bestowing upon me a creative approach to living. My beloved grandparents, Georgia Louise Houser (1925-2011) and Calvin Kermit Houser, best represent the world of my childhood. Their home is my Bachelardian paradise. I attribute much of my adult zest for life to that of my mother-in-law and father-in-law, Betty and Joshua Goldberg. And the unconditional love, companionship, and curiosity showered on me by Buttercup, Shiloh, and Lyra affirm interconnectivity between species. My children, Caleb and Ethan, have been my constant guides in this project in embodying becoming and in nurturing me. They provide a sense of home. To my husband, Michael Emanuel Goldberg, I offer my deepest love. His intellectual acuity and readiness to discuss the nuances of natality have been invaluable. Most invaluable, however, has been his loving creation of the home we share with our children and dogs, which would have collapsed had he not nurtured it and all who inhabit it. iv ABSTRACT The Art of Natality: Virginia Woolfs and Kathe Kollwitz's Aesthetics of Becoming Jennifer Brooke Goldberg November 30,2012 Though Virginia Woolfs and Kathe Kollwitz's personal histories and specific cultural circumstances were quite different, their aesthetics share fundamental qualities. This dissertation demonstrates that both artists affirm memory, the maternal, and creativity as coalescent, and through doing so assert a principle of connectivity that counters the turmoil of their times. Through this constellation, Woolfs and Kollwitz's aesthetics exude faith in the continued viability of beauty and of possibility, faith that a commitment to becoming will undermine the sources of hopelessness that enshroud the modem world. Channeling their losses into their creative endeavors, Woolf and Kollwitz appropriated crises from their pasts for moments of personal and cultural edification. They establish maternity as exemplary of the human need for mutuality and maternal desire as a search for interrelation that must be exercised imaginatively. Charting the cataclysms of modernity evident in thought, technology, and warfare, Chapter I demonstrates modernity's collective sense of homeless ness. Chapter II situates theoretically the presences Woolf and Kollwitz assert as potentializing a rediscovery of home; Svetlana Boym's reflective nostalgia and Grace Jantzen's ethic of natality prove especially instrumental here. Chapters III, IV, and V interpret Woolfs "A Sketch of the Past" and To the Lighthouse as manifestations ofWoolfs creative memory work, of her v search for her mother and her lost home. Sketching her mother as an artist, Woolf identifies Julia Stephen as the source of her daughter's creativity and suggests art as a regenerative expression of love. Chapters VI and VII transition to a consideration of Kathe Kollwitz's autobiography and diaries, and of her War series and The Mourning Parents memorial. These chapters illuminate her alignment of the sensuality of mothering with the sensuality of creation, and establish that she experienced her son's death in World War I as a death of becoming. Chapter VII in particular probes the depths of Kollwitz's grief and describes the creative process as a means through which she soothed herself. Creating art enabled her to work toward a world that does not desecrate interconnectivity, imagination, and childhood, a world worthy of her deceased son and of her own mothering. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................ .iv ABSTRACT ...........................................................................................v LIST OF FIGURES ..................................................................................vi INTRODUCTION "THESE FRAGMENTS I HAVE SHORED AGAINST MY RUINS" ...................... 1 CHAPTER I THE HOMESICK MODERN SOUL ............................................................ .21 CHAPTER II RETURNING TO INTERSUBJECTIVE ROOTS: FINDING A HOME WITHIN HOMELESSNESS ......................................................................4 7 CHAPTER III INHABITING: VIRGINIA WOOLF AND THE ART OF HOME ......................... 75 CHAPTER IV ASSEMBLING: MRS.

Yet no less indispensable is the cautious probing of the spade in the dark loam, and it is to cheat oneself of the richest prize to preserve as a record merely the inventory of one's discoveries, and not this dark joy of the place of the finding itself. Fruitless searching is as much a part of this as succeeding, and consequently remembrance must not proceed in the manner of a narrative or still less that of a report, but must, in the strictest epic and rhapsodic manner, essay its spade in ever-new

  • It Is Time for Virginia Woolf
    TREBALL DE FI DE GRAU Tutor/a: Dra. Ana Moya Gutierrez Grau de: Estudis Anglesos IT IS TIME FOR VIRGINIA WOOLF Ane Iñigo Barricarte Universitat de Barcelona Curso 2018/2019, G2 Barclona, 11 June 2019 ABSTRACT This paper explores the issue of time in two of Virginia Woolf’s novels; Mrs Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. The study will not only consider how the theme is presented in the novels but also in their filmic adaptations, including The Hours, a novel written by Michael Cunningham and film directed by Stephen Daldry. Time covers several different dimensions visible in both novels; physical, mental, historical, biological, etc., which will be more or less relevant in each of the novels and which, simultaneously, serve as a central point to many other themes such as gender, identity or death, among others. The aim of this paper, beyond the exploration of these dimensions and the connection with other themes, is to come to a general and comparative conclusion about time in Virginia Woolf. Key Words: Virginia Woolf, time, adaptations, subjective, objective. Este trabajo consiste en una exploración del tema del tiempo en dos de las novelas de Virginia Woolf; La Señora Dalloway y Al Faro. Dicho estudio, no solo tendrá en cuenta como se presenta el tema en las novelas, sino también en la adaptación cinematográfica de cada una de ellas, teniendo también en cuenta Las Horas, novela escrita por Michael Cunningham y película dirigida por Stephen Daldry. El tiempo posee diversas dimensiones visibles en ambos trabajos; física, mental, histórica, biológica, etc., que cobrarán mayor o menor importancia en cada una de las novelas y que, a su vez, sirven de puntos de unión para otros muchos temas como pueden ser el género, la identidad o la muerte entre otros.

  • Storytelling and Ethics
    Storytelling and Ethics Literature, Visual Arts and the Power of Narrative Edited by Hanna Meretoja and Colin Davis First published 2018 ISBN: 978-1-138-24406-1 (hbk) ISBN: 978-1-315-26501-8 (ebk) Chapter 7 From Appropriation to Dialogic Exploration (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) The funder for this chapter is University of Turku, Finland NEW YORK AND LONDON 7 From Appropriation to Dialogic Exploration A Non-subsumptive Model of Storytelling Hanna Meretoja Ours may be an age of storytelling, but it is also an age in which nar- rative has been fiercely criticized. Already in the 1920s, Virginia Woolf famously argued that in the name of “likeness to life” literature should have “no plot, no comedy, no tragedy”: “Life is not a series of gig-lamps symmetrically arranged” (1925, 188–89). It was first and foremost in response to the Second World War and the Holocaust, however, that narrative came to appear as ethically problematic. Essential to what Nathalie Sarraute (1956) called the age of suspicion, in postwar France, was the conviction that after Auschwitz it was no longer possible to tell stories. Narratives appeared to postwar thinkers to be an ethically problematic mode of appropriation, a matter of violently imposing order on history and experience that are inherently non-narrative. The most influential strand of ethical thinking in twentieth-century continental thought, which derives from Emmanuel Levinas’s ethics of alterity and its various poststructuralist variations, is resolutely antinarrative. Many contemporary Anglo-American philosophers—from Crispin Sartwell (2000) to Galen Strawson (2004)—follow suit by attacking narrative because fixed narratives falsify or destroy the openness to the singularity and freshness of each moment.

  • Locating Women's Time in to the Lighthouse
    © 2020 JETIR December 2020, Volume 7, Issue 12 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Locating Women’s Time in To The Lighthouse Deepthi Menon Assistant Professor in English, Chetana College of Media and Performing Arts, Thrissur 680026 Kerala, India. Abstract: To the Lighthouse is a 1927 novel written by Virginia Woolf, extending the tradition of modernism to highlight the technique of multiple focalization that displayed the ebbing and flowing of the inner stream of consciousness. Julia Kristeva has been regarded as a key proponent of French Feminism with a remarkable influence on feminist literary studies that has subverted all monologic authoritarian systems and the stasis of unitary subject positions. I attempt to investigate the means of visions and perceptions in Virginia Woolf’s novel, To the Lighthouse, deploying the concept of Women’s Time – the parallel existence of linear and infinite time, in relationship to language and meaning. Key Words: Interior Monologue, Women’s Time, Symbolic and Imaginary order, Psychological Time, Mechanical Time. Hailing from a distinguished literary family, Virginia Woolf was known for her vast reading, wide learning and a serious intellectual aristocracy, whose temperament was alive to the feeling of life, filled with impressions yearning for expression. By the last decade of 19th century, life in England had shown signs of complete social change. There was a break-down of rural England into a nation of industries and cities. It was also a period which had felt the emotional scars of World Wars; sensitive people marked the situation as a hopeless muddle with an emergence of revolt against authority, and feelings of religious scepticism, cynicism, general disillusionment and a shift of emphasis from the outer to the inner.

  • Novel to Novel to Film: from Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway to Michael
    Rogers 1 Archived thesis/research paper/faculty publication from the University of North Carolina at Asheville’s NC DOCKS Institutional Repository: http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/unca/ Novel to Novel to Film: From Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway to Michael Cunningham’s and Daldry-Hare’s The Hours Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Fall 2015 By Jacob Rogers ____________________ Thesis Director Dr. Kirk Boyle ____________________ Thesis Advisor Dr. Lorena Russell Rogers 2 All the famous novels of the world, with their well known characters, and their famous scenes, only asked, it seemed, to be put on the films. What could be easier and simpler? The cinema fell upon its prey with immense rapacity, and to this moment largely subsists upon the body of its unfortunate victim. But the results are disastrous to both. The alliance is unnatural. Eye and brain are torn asunder ruthlessly as they try vainly to work in couples. (Woolf, “The Movies and Reality”) Although adaptation’s detractors argue that “all the directorial Scheherezades of the world cannot add up to one Dostoevsky, it does seem to be more or less acceptable to adapt Romeo and Juliet into a respected high art form, like an opera or a ballet, but not to make it into a movie. If an adaptation is perceived as ‘lowering’ a story (according to some imagined hierarchy of medium or genre), response is likely to be negative...An adaptation is a derivation that is not derivative—a work that is second without being secondary.

  • Introduction: Trauma, Psychoanalysis, Literary Form
    Notes Introduction: Trauma, Psychoanalysis, Literary Form 1. For a historical genealogy of trauma, see Leys, 2000; Luckhurst, 2008: Part I. 2. Psychoanalysis has deeply informed our understanding of trauma, particu- larly in the Humanities (see, for instance, Felman and Laub, 1992; Caruth, 1995c; 1996; Leys, 2000; Garland, 2002d; Ball, 2007b), and several critics (including Stonebridge, 1998; Jacobus, 1999; Schwab, 2001; Jacobus, 2005; Moran, 2007; Radstone, 2007a; b) have turned specifically to British object relations theory when writing about the relationship between trauma or violence and literature. Nevertheless, important aspects of this strand of psychoanalysis have not yet been comprehensively explored regarding their usefulness for a literary aesthetics of trauma. 3. While PTSD is central to contemporary understandings of trauma (includ- ing mine), especially in the Humanities, Ruth Leys points to The Harmony of Illusions: Inventing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (1995) by anthropologist Allan Young, which postulates that, in Leys’s words, ‘far from being a timeless entity […] PTSD is a historical construct that has been “glued together by the practices, technologies, and narratives with which it is diagnosed, studied, treated, and represented and by the various interests, institutions, and moral arguments that mobilized these efforts and resources”’ (2000: 6). For her part, Leys identifies ‘the problem of imitation, defined as a problem of hypnotic imitation’ (2000: 8) as central to the history of trauma (see also Radstone, 2007b: 14–16). 4. Relating to transnational adoption, Drucilla Cornell adopts Gayatri Spivak’s phrase ‘enabling violation’ to indicate ‘what can be enabling for certain children – parents who adopt them and, in many cases, enable them to stay alive – is inseparable from the violation perpetuated through systematic inequalities’ (2007: 234).

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • Presentation #4- Opening
    1 PRESENTATION #4- OPENING Good afternoon fellow club members and friends. Today we hope to enlighten you in regards to two aspects of Nelson’s and Jeanette’s lives. The first is in regard to clarifying that the love that existed between these two people was real. To accomplish this we will report actual private and sensitive quotations from both parties and you can draw your own conclusions as to the validity of their love. Most are not from their early romance days when they might be expected, but after their love had been ongoing for years. This was a life-long love between these two passionate human beings. The tragedy of living in an era of Victorian attitudes took a toll. It is a shame that in this age where their private life would be accepted as perfectly normal, there are those who still insist on judging it by Victorian morals and refute their love with salacious terms as “adulterous”! That term disappeared from our vocabulary back in the sixties! Their love was so powerful that they had to live two lives, public and private. We are going to take just a brief look at their private life and take a modern and tolerant position of what they had to overcome but not give up the love they had for one another. Any woman today would feel as Jeanette did if they could just experience a little of the love she received. And no doubt there are modern men today that would be overwhelmed to be as confident as Nelson was in the love he received from his Jeanette.

  • Virginia Woolf's to the Lighthouse: Toward an Integrated Jurisprudence
    Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse: Toward an Integrated Jurisprudence Lisa Weilt I. INTRODUCTION Since the publication of Virginia Woolf s novel To the Lighthouse in 1927, a significant volume of critical commentary has grown to surround the work. These critical interpretations come in two types: some consider Woolf's technical experiments in style and form;' others consider her ideology. Commentaries which address Woolf's ideology include discussions of her views on philosophy, aesthetics, relations between the sexes, and feminist issues.2 In recent years, scholars have approached the novel with the insight of Woolf's autobiographical writings and have taken a particular interest in feminist and psychoanalytical themes in the work. This Article's analysis differs from the existing body of commentary by exploring another dimension of Woolf's ideology: her legal philosophy. Existing commentaries interpret the celebrated expedition to the Lighthouse as a quest for psychological maturity, truth, harmonious social relations between men and women, and aesthetic harmonies. This Article adds another dimension to the symbolic voyage and interprets the expedition as a quest for justice. Critics have often placed Woolf within the intellectual aristocracy of her time and judged her as an elitist who avoided themes of social and political importance.4 This Article counters that criticism and concludes that Woolf's t B.A. University of Pennsylvania, 1989; J.D.
