This document provides biographical information about Sigmund Freud and Virginia Woolf, and summarizes some of their key works. It discusses Freud's structural model of the psyche consisting of the id, ego, and superego. For Woolf, it outlines important events in her life and novels like Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. It then compares Woolf and Joyce's use of stream of consciousness and their different approaches. Finally, it analyzes themes and characters in Mrs. Dalloway, including Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Warren Smith.
Virginia Woolf was a pioneering modernist author born in 1882 who experimented with stream-of-consciousness techniques in her novels and essays. In her influential 1929 essay A Room of One's Own, Woolf argues that women writers throughout history lacked the financial means and independence afforded to male writers, hindering their ability to develop and realize their full artistic potential. She speculates about how a hypothetical extremely gifted sister of Shakespeare named Judith may have been prevented from writing due to societal constraints facing women. The essay also examines how factors like poverty can impact an author's work and the relationship between anger over one's situation and the creative process.
Vladimir Propp analyzed Russian fairy tales in the 1920s and proposed that stories could be classified based on character roles and functions. He identified seven character roles including the hero, donor, dispatcher, and princess. Tzvetan Todorov suggested most narratives follow a structure of equilibrium, disruption of equilibrium by an outside force, and return to a new equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified narrative devices like enigma, symbolic, semic, cultural, and action that engage audiences. Claude Levi-Strauss examined how myths unconsciously reflect a culture's values and beliefs through binary oppositions.
This document summarizes information about four famous authors: William Shakespeare, Arthur Conan Doyle, Joseph Rudyard Kipling, and Lewis Carroll. It provides details about each author's most notable works and achievements, with Shakespeare known for his plays and poems, Doyle for creating Sherlock Holmes stories, Kipling for his short stories and children's books, and Carroll for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
Term Paper on Virginia Woolf's Jacob's RoomJasmin Cruz
Virginia Woolf's 1922 novel Jacob's Room portrayed the themes of individual isolation, miscommunication, and feminist ideas during the Modernist Period in England. The stream of consciousness narrative technique followed the thoughts of characters consciously and unconsciously. Individualism emerged as people experimented with perceiving the world differently than in the Victorian Era. Miscommunication between characters occurred as they tried but failed to connect with one another. Woolf incorporated her own feminist perspectives through her portrayal of society's negative views of women.
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a satirical novel that criticizes aspects of 18th century British society through the fictional travels of Lemuel Gulliver to several imaginary lands. The novel contains four voyages where Gulliver encounters societies that satirize human institutions like government, science, and morality. Through Gulliver's interactions and observations of these lands, Swift aims to critique issues in his contemporary society like colonialism, reason, and human vanity. The novel combines factual descriptions with humor and mockery to deliver its satirical message.
This document provides an overview of narrative and film theory concepts. It defines narrative as a sequence of events known as the plot, and explains that narrative theory describes how those events are structured and presented to an audience. Some key concepts discussed include binary oppositions, narrative equilibrium and disruption, Vladimir Propp's analysis of basic plot components in Russian folktales, and Erving Goffman's dramaturgical perspective on social interaction.

The document discusses T.S. Eliot's view that contemporary poetry should integrate aspects of literary history but avoid excessive academic knowledge, focusing only on essential elements. It also discusses how modernist writers portrayed gay and lesbian characters and imagined gender roles as characteristics that could be adopted rather than absolute identities dictated by society.
The document provides a biography and overview of major works and literary criticism of author Joyce Carol Oates. It notes that she was born in 1938 in New York and published her first novel at age 15. Her short stories and collections like Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? established her reputation. Critics praise her prolific output but some criticize her for eschewing trends of "less is more." Feminist critics have mixed views of her often passive female characters.
Experimental literature sets its own rules while subverting conventions of what constitutes proper literature. Many European and American writers in the early 20th century experimented with form and helped establish modernism. Experimental writing today is published in books, magazines, and other formats. While most stories aim to be believable, experimental writing may be peculiar to engage readers in new ways by playing with structure, style, and narrative techniques rather than following formulas. Examples of experimental literature include works by Rushdie, Vidal, Vonnegut, Wilde, Acker, Barth, Beckett, Garcia-Marquez, Kafka, Robbe-Grillet, Burroughs, Joyce, Woolf, Pynchon and books like The Tunnel,
The document summarizes the themes of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels in 3 sentences or less:
Gulliver's Travels can be seen as a satire of human nature, as it uses Gulliver's voyages to fantastical lands to expose flaws in human society and depict humans in exaggerated or distorted ways. It also contains elements of utopian and dystopian fiction, as some of the lands Gulliver visits represent ideal or nightmarish societies. Additionally, the work functions as a political allegory, with some of the events and groups in the story standing in for controversial issues or factions in English politics during Swift's time.
Kate Chopin was an American author who wrote ahead of her time about themes of female identity, self-discovery, and revolt against social norms and conformity in her controversial 1899 novel The Awakening. The novel featured the character Edna Pontellier and her awakening to female sexuality and independence in a male-dominated society. Though Chopin sought to accurately depict lives of women in 19th century America, the novel was socially ostracized and Chopin died in 1904 with her work largely ignored until the feminist movement brought renewed attention to The Awakening.
Naturalism was a 19th century movement that believed nature and the physical world are all that exist, rejecting spirituality and the supernatural. It emphasized investigating nature through science and viewed humanity as simply part of the natural world, influenced primarily by heredity and environment. Naturalist works often depicted harsh realities like poverty, disease, and violence in a detached, objective manner and believed fate was predetermined, showing nature's indifference to human struggles.
Ecriture feminine in possession by A.S. ByattBianca Adle
A power point presentation about Ecriture Feminine in the writing style of A.S. Byatt's Possession and an analysis of the two subplots plresented in the novel.
This document discusses realism and naturalism in literature. It defines realism as aiming for truthful representation of reality, while naturalism takes realism further by emulating scientific methods. Key characteristics of these movements are descriptive detail, contemporary subjects, and colloquial language. The document examines major figures like George Eliot, Émile Zola, and Henry James, outlining their works and theories on realism and naturalism.
Charles Dickens was famous for his vivid descriptions, social commentary, and use of literary techniques in his novels. He often used cliffhanger endings to end chapters since his novels were published serially. He also frequently used polysyndeton to exaggerate descriptions and employed satire to critique issues of his time like poverty and injustice. Symbolism, irony, character foils, and metaphors were some of his narrative devices, and works like Oliver Twist and Great Expectations are examples of the Bildungsroman genre.
This document provides biographical information about Virginia Woolf and analyzes her use of stream of consciousness in her novel To the Lighthouse. It discusses Woolf as an important modernist author who pioneered the use of stream of consciousness. It then summarizes the plot and characters of To the Lighthouse, and analyzes how Woolf uses techniques like interior monologue and shifting perspectives to represent the characters' inner thoughts and experiences. The document concludes by praising Woolf's skillful use of stream of consciousness to subtly convey the inner worlds of the characters.
The document discusses different theatrical styles including realism, romanticism, and naturalism. Realism aims to depict everyday life realistically on stage. It has been dominant for 120 years and views the stage as an environment rather than just a performance space. Romanticism was an early phase of realism featuring exotic settings and heroes. Naturalism emerged from scientific determinism and Darwinism, viewing a person's fate as shaped by heredity and environment beyond their control. It tries to reproduce reality photographically, emphasizing material existence. Both realism and naturalism present stripped-down views of life but naturalism is more pessimistic, focusing on the ill-educated and using violence/taboo themes.
Mary wollstonecraft and simone de beauvoirleony_daisog
This document compares the feminist philosophers Mary Wollstonecraft and Simone de Beauvoir. It notes that Mary Wollstonecraft was an 18th century British writer and philosopher best known for her work A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, in which she argues that women are equal to men but appear inferior due to lack of education. Simone de Beauvoir was a 20th century French writer and existentialist philosopher best known for her 1949 work The Second Sex, a foundational tract of feminism which analyzed women's oppression. Both philosophers believed that social constraints, not nature, placed women in an inferior position and their ideas challenged the common belief of their times that women were inherently inferior.

Levi strauss narrative theory presentationChibuzo123
Levi-Strauss argued that all narratives can be reduced down to binary opposites such as Americans vs Native Americans, weak vs strong, east vs west, 'backward cultures' vs 'modern cultures', and good vs evil. He provided examples of common binary opposites found in narratives including Americans vs Native Americans, weak vs strong, and east vs west which often frame 'backward cultures' against 'modern cultures'.
The narrator observes an old man in a coffee house who captures his attention with his strange, terror-filled face. He follows the man throughout the crowded streets of the city as night falls, trying to understand more about him. Though the man seems comfortable in crowds, he appears confused when they thin out. The narrator chases the man for over 24 hours as he moves through different areas of the city and its suburbs, but is never able to learn his identity, concluding he is a man like a secret book that does not permit himself to be read.

Freedom of thought and independent thinking are being reduced and constrained by society's over-reliance on technological advancement and material possessions. This paper analyzes these issues using Herbert Marcuse's theory of one-dimensional philosophy. It critiques how modernization has shackled society and diminished critical thinking. The paper suggests an alternative approach to counter the constraints of society in order to promote change, enhance humanity, and reinvigorate critical thinking. Analyzing the interplay between freedom, violence, and critical thinking can provide insights into how to foster innovation and drive social progress.

This study examined the effects of cucurbita (squash) extract on serum factors in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Male albino rats were divided into three groups: diabetic rats treated with cucurbita extract, untreated diabetic controls, and normal rats. After 30 days, blood was collected to measure glucose, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and advanced glycation end products. The results showed that the cucurbita extract had a positive effect on regulating glucose and other blood elements affected by type 1 diabetes in rats, compared to the untreated diabetic controls. However, more research is needed to fully demonstrate the benefits of cucurbita in treating
This document is an abstract for a conference presentation about predicting initial steady time for periodic channel infiltration with root water uptake in different soil types. The presentation uses the dual reciprocity method and a predictor-corrector scheme to numerically solve Richard's equation governing unsaturated water flow. Transformations are applied to the equation to obtain solutions for initial steady time at clay loam, silt loam, and clay soils considering maize water uptake.
Feminist criticism aims to advocate for equal rights and representation of women in society and literature. It examines how patriarchal systems have historically marginalized and misrepresented women. Early feminist critics in the 19th century like Wollstonecraft argued women deserve equal education and opportunities. In the 1960s-70s, feminist criticism emerged as a lens to analyze literature's portrayal of gender. Critics explore common archetypes used in works like the virgin, mother, and whore that reduce women. The field continues to diversify with no single approach, working to incorporate more female authors and perspectives.
The Concept of Feminism in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House by Rayees Ahmad Gana...Rayees Ganaie
This document provides an analysis of feminism in Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House. It discusses how Ibsen, though not calling himself a feminist, included many feminist tendencies and themes in his works. Specifically, the play protests the restrictions placed on women in a patriarchal society by having the main character, Nora, leave her family to pursue independence and individuality. The document analyzes Nora's journey through the lens of Simone de Beauvoir's concept of woman as "the other" and how Ibsen addressed the issues of women's roles and rights well before the feminist movement gained prominence.
This document provides an overview of Virginia Woolf's novels from a feminist perspective. It discusses how Woolf was influenced by the feminist movements of her time and sought to establish a female tradition of writing. Specifically, it analyzes how her novels To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and A Room of One's Own promoted feminist ideas. To the Lighthouse featured the independent character of Lily Briscoe who challenged gender roles. Orlando normalized androgyny by having the protagonist change sex. And Room of One's Own argued that women must have financial independence and education to achieve their full creative potential.
Virginia Woolf's A Room of One's Own is considered a seminal work of feminist literary criticism. In it, Woolf explores the historical, social, and economic barriers faced by women writers. She argues that women needed financial independence and a space of their own to write, as well as access to educational institutions and the ability to step away from traditional gender roles. Woolf also examines how the idealized roles of "The Angel in the House" and the madwoman limited women's self-expression and creativity. The essay considers how these historical constraints impacted the development of women's literary tradition.
Bessie Head was a South African writer of mixed race who faced discrimination due to her illegitimate status and complex racial background. She wrote short stories capturing the African experience with colonialism, apartheid, and exploitation. Her story "The Collector of Treasures" depicts a woman who murders her abusive husband after facing domestic violence and oppression as a result of the intersection of race, class, and gender roles in her society. The story examines themes of feminism, patriarchy, and Head's vision for a more equitable and humane society beyond racial and gender divides.
"Beyond Binary: Exploring Gender Identity and Fluidity in Virginia Woolf's Or...KhushiRathod39
Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando explores gender fluidity through the protagonist Orlando, who mysteriously changes sex from male to female in the early 17th century. As both a man and woman, Orlando embodies masculine and feminine traits, challenging rigid gender binaries. Woolf uses Orlando to advocate for a more fluid conception of gender identity aligned with Simone de Beauvoir's view of gender as a social construct. However, the novel also reflects the complexities and limitations of Woolf's time, particularly in its treatment of race and sexuality while pushing boundaries around gender.
This document discusses literature and female identity. It argues that female identity has been influenced by patriarchal notions that view women as "the other". French feminists view women as the other subject rather than object. The document outlines two modes of feminist criticism - ideological criticism that offers feminist readings, and the study of women writers. It argues that for women to establish their authentic identity, they must actively engage in formulating and analyzing critical theories from a women-centered perspective, independent of male critical theory.
A gendered analysis of three short storiesHanane Chari
This document provides a summary and analysis of three short stories - "The New Dress" by Virginia Woolf, "The Kiss" by Kate Chopin, and "The Melody" by Ahdaf Soueif - in terms of their exploration of gender and cultural constructs. It analyzes each story individually and then compares them, noting that "The New Dress" focuses on feelings of inferiority related to inappropriate clothing, "The Kiss" boldly addresses women's sexuality, and "The Melody" portrays the restrictive lives of Muslim women in a patriarchal society. All three stories contribute to feminist literary emancipation in their Western and non-Western contexts.
This summary provides an overview of a dissertation analyzing Virginia Woolf's The Years and the character of Sara/Elvira in relation to disability and anti-eugenic ethics in modernist literature. The dissertation argues that modernist literature can convey acceptance of physical and cognitive differences, contrary to previous views. It examines Woolf's novels, including how she developed the character of Sara/Elvira over drafts of The Years to explore feminist themes and social exclusion through dialogue between Sara and her sister. The dissertation analyzes how Woolf incorporated historical facts and research into the novel to underpin it with feminist analysis and social context.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Feminist Aesthetics in Philippine Literature: A Transition from Being an Object to
Becoming the Subject of Literature
Master of Arts in Philosophy, University of Santo Tomas
ABSTRACT: For the past decades it was undeniably evident that Literature has been
dominated by male writers. Most of the world-renowned literary icons from different fields of
Literature were males, such as William Shakespeare, Robert Frost, William Blake, T.S Elliot
and others. For the extent of the history of Literature there were some females who have
proven themselves to be worthy to be called a literary icon and were able to raise the
awareness of gender equality in the field of literature. Virginia Woolf in her A Room of
One’s Own, tackles the difficulties of being a female writer. It showed the differences
between the educational experiences of males and females; and the way males write about
females with such contempt and how little was written about the roles the females played in
the course of history. Simone de Beauvoir in her The Second Sex, expressed her main thesis
that men essentially subjugate women by distinguishing them, on every level, as the Other,
labelled entirely in opposition to men. Man occupies the role of the Self or subject; woman is
the object or the other. He is essential, absolute, and transcendent. She is inessential,
incomplete and mutilated. He extends out into the world to impose his will on it, whereas
woman is doomed to immanence, or inwardness. He creates, acts, invents; she waits for him
to save her . Madame de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex opens up the mind of every individual,
especially women, to look at themselves with such conviction that they are of equal value
with males. Though de Beauvoir does not really pertain to Literature, it still inspires many
female writers to step out of the shadows and show the society that they too can excel in the
field of literature subjugated by males.
