  • ANZAMEMS 2017 Abstracts
    ANZAMEMS 2017 abstracts Catherine Abou-Nemeh Victoria University of Wellington “Opening the King’s Body: Autopsy and Anatomy in Early Modern Paris” On 1 September 1715, King Louis XIV of France died in his bed in Versailles. The next day several physicians, anatomists, and attendees assembled in the palace to carry out a post-mortem examination of the deceased monarch. In addition to the Dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine Jean- Baptiste Doye, Guy Fagon (the king’s head physician) and Georges Mareschal (the king’s first- surgeon) led the dissection. This paper situates Louis’ autopsy in the context of late seventeenth and early eighteenth century anatomical practices in Paris. In so doing, I will assess the meaning and status of autopsy, and discuss its relation to royal power and anatomical knowledge. Anya Adair Yale University “The Post-Mortem Mobility of Dead Text: Mouvance and the Early English Legal Preface.” The introduction to a medieval law code does important rhetorical work: among other things, it must convince its audience of the justice of the laws that follow. For authority on this matter, the legal preface (like so many literary texts) often relies on the invocation of an imagined past, founding its claim on past codes, past kings, and a shared sense of stable legal history. Yet the law code itself moves through time in a very different way: in strictly legal terms, the most recent code must take precedence, overriding and erasing past laws. Laws look forward, not back. This paper explores some of the consequences of the temporal tension between prologue and laws, and traces its effects into the ways that early medieval law codes were disseminated and preserved in the manuscript record.

    CHAPTER 4 DATA ANALYSIS In this chapter, the main focus of the analysis is the beasts’ character and name divided into five classifications of beasts’ category. The five classifications are as follows: (1) XXXXX – Known wizard killer / impossible to train or domesticate, (2) XXXX – Dangerous / requires specialist knowledge / skilled wizard may handle, (3) XXX – Competent wizard should cope, (4) XX – Harmless / may be domesticated, (5) X – Boring (Rowling, 2001, p.xxii). This classification helps the writer to simplify the analysis of the beasts’ character using charactonym approach. It also shows that J. K. Rowling’s purpose of using some magical names to characterize the proper name of the beasts’ character. This chapter is divided into two parts in accordance to the two problem formulations presented earlier in the introduction chapter. The first part is the distinctive traits of magical creatures found in J. K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them represented by their names, and the second part is the charactonym of the characters based on their traits. 4.1. The Distinctive Traits of Magical Creatures found in J. K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them This part discusses the distinctive traits of the magical creatures in the book. The writer divides the discussion based on the class of the beasts to make the discussion easier to follow. 4.1.1. The distinctive traits of XXXX class beast 20 In this class, the beasts are described as dangerous. These beasts are suggested for the special knowledgeable person or skilled wizard who can handle these kinds of beasts.

  • The Treatment of Children in the Novels of Charles
    THE TREATMENT OF CHILDREN IN THE NOVELS OF CHARLES DICKENS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY CLEOPATRA JONES DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH ATLANTA, GEORGIA AUGUST 1948 ? C? TABLE OF CONTENTS % Pag® PREFACE ii CHAPTER I. REASONS FOR DICKENS' INTEREST IN CHILDREN ....... 1 II. TYPES OF CHILDREN IN DICKENS' NOVELS 10 III. THE FUNCTION OF CHILDREN IN DICKENS' NOVELS 20 IV. DICKENS' ART IN HIS TREATMENT OF CHILDREN 33 SUMMARY 46 BIBLIOGRAPHY 48 PREFACE The status of children in society has not always been high. With the exception of a few English novels, notably those of Fielding, child¬ ren did not play a major role in fiction until Dickens' time. Until the emergence of the Industrial Revolution an unusual emphasis had not been placed on the status of children, and the emphasis that followed was largely a result of the insecure and often lamentable position of child¬ ren in the new machine age. Since Dickens wrote his novels during this period of the nineteenth century and was a pioneer in the employment of children in fiction, these facts alone make a study of his treatment of children an important one. While a great deal has been written on the life and works of Charles Dickens, as far as the writer knows, no intensive study has been made of the treatment of children in his novels. All attempts have been limited to chapters, or more accurately, to generalized statements in relation to his life and works.

Abstract This thesis argues that the view of human nature which emerges from Shakespeare's plays is essentially hybrid, protean and metamorphic. Chapter I discusses various early modem theories of the self and subsequent chapters explore the transforming power of love, twins and other doubles, transvestite heroines, the relationship between actor and role and the various forms of the monstrous in The Tempest. The plays considered include early, middle and late works and examples of comedy, tragedy, history and romance.
