  • Eonnagata Written and Performed by Sylvie Guillem, Robert Lepage, Russell Maliphant
    © Érick Labbé Sadler’s Wells, London in association with Ex Machina & Sylvie Guillem Presents Eonnagata written and performed by Sylvie Guillem, Robert Lepage, Russell Maliphant Presented with the support of Rolex Career diplomat, part-time soldier and amateur spy, Charles de Beaumont, Chevalier d’Éon, was familiar with both honour and defeat, with glory as well as exile. Beyond the romance of his life, what stands out is his extraordinary audacity. Éon was probably the first spy to use cross-dressing in the pursuit of his duties. This earned him a variety of enemies, including Louis XVI, who forced him to wear a dress all the time. Eventually people no longer knew whether he was a man or a woman. The creators of Eonnagata asked the question differently. What if Charles de Beaumont was both man and woman? Midway between theatre and dance, Eonnagata pits the fan against the sword, the courtesan against the swordsman. But it also explores the embodying of one sex by the other in what is more an investigation of gender than of sexuality. The work draws on Onnagata, a Kabuki theatre technique that enables actors to represent women in a highly stylized fashion, shedding new light on the Chevalier d’Éon and revealing that his enigma is perhaps the mystery of human identity itself. The nonconformism of Charles de Beaumont quickly struck a chord with the creators of Eonnagata. Sylvie Guillem is a celebrated rebel of classical ballet who converted to contemporary dance. In the last few years she has dazzled audiences in London, Tokyo, Sydney and Paris with her grace, energy, precision and humour in shows such as Push and Sacred Monsters.

  • July to Dec OW Website 2 Lo
    ONEWORLD TURNS THIRTY This summer marks Oneworld’s 30th birthday, but it feels like the celebrations began a year early. 2015 was a truly extraordinary year for us, with almost a dozen prize nominations and three wins, among them the Man Booker Prize for Marlon James’ A Brief History of Seven Killings, the FT & McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award for The Rise of the Robots by Martin Ford and the Pushkin House Russian Book Prize for Serhii Plokhy’s The Last Empire. This year has seen more of Oneworld’s authors receive the awards and attention we think they thoroughly deserve: Emma Watson chose Gloria Steinem’s memoir, My Life on the Road, as the first read for her Our Shared Shelf Book Club, The Sellout by Paul Beatty won the prestigious National Book Critics Circle Award and was shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction, and the hugely promising debut writer Mia Alvar won the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Award for her stunning collection, In the Country. Oh, and we won the IPG Trade Publisher of the Year Award 2016. Oneworld was founded on a hunger for quality writing and a passion for connecting readers to the world around them. True to the promise of our name, we have always sought to be non-parochial, open-minded and cosmopolitan in taste. These values still lie at the very heart of the company 30 years on, and extend to both our new children and YA imprint Rock the Boat, which turns one this summer, and our new crime imprint, Point Blank, launched in February.

What Elena of the merits of this Basque artist and undoubtedly these qualities Odriozola brings to the text does not consist of transporting the do not constitute a suf!cient motive to nominate her for the Hans argument of the word into the picture. What this illustrator offers Christian Andersen Award. By contrast, we do believe there are other is her highly personal interpretation of the literary work. Thus, weighty reasons for which she would deserve this accolade. Firstly, the reader has the chance to read what the text says, to read what for her capacity to bring her own personal interpretation to a literary the image says and to !nd a third reading: their own. text, which is able to increase its meaning and signi!cance (even If we feel like spectators when we enter the books illustrated by when illustrating works as famous as Frankenstein, Cinderella Elena Odriozola, it is because she has been researching the dramatic or La Celestina). Secondly, for her successful and creative use of narrative genres from the past (such as paper theatre, panoramas, the possibilities of the illustrated book for several years. Above all she plays and experiments with the staging, she depicts the superposition of transparencies or the traditional Spanish aleluya, a series of pictures with captions arranged on a single page) when characters’ con"icts without succumbing to simpli!ed viewpoints appropriating literary works.

  • Humor, Characterization, Plot: the Role of Secondary Characters in Late Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Marriage Novels
    Humor, Characterization, Plot: The Role of Secondary Characters in Late Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Marriage Novels Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Katrina M. Peterson, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Clare Simmons, Adviser Leslie Tannenbaum Jill Galvan ABSTRACT Many late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British novels utilize laughter as a social corrective, but this same laughter hides other messages about women‘s roles. As the genre‘s popularity widened, writers used novels to express opinions that would be eschewed in other, more established and serious genres. My dissertation argues that humor contributes to narrative meaning; as readers laugh at ―minor‖ characters, their laughter discourages specific behaviors, yet it also masks characters‘ important functions within narrative structure. Each chapter examines one type of humor—irony, parody, satire, and wit—along with a secondary female archetype: the matriarch, the old maid, the monster, and the mentor. Traditionally, the importance of laughter has been minimized, and the role of minor characters understudied. My project seeks to redress this imbalance through focusing on humor, secondary characterization, and plot. Chapter One, ―Irony and The Role of the Matriarch,‖ explores the humorous characterizations of Lady Maclaughlan and Miss Jenkyns within Susan Ferrier‘s Marriage (1818) and Elizabeth Gaskell‘s Cranford (1853). These novels share the following remarkable similarities: 1) they use characterization to unify unusually- structured novels; 2) they focus on humorous figures whose contributions to plot are masked by irony; 3) their matriarchal characters are absent for large portions of the stories; and 4) despite their absences, these figures‘ matriarchal power carries strong feminist implications.
