Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most famous and celebrated American writers whose short stories inspired numerous other authors. The Oval Portrait, initially titled Life in Death, is a revised and shorter version that was published in the Broadway Journal in 1845.Although being one of his shortest stories, Poe is able to establish in The Oval Portrait a haunting atmosphere of terror. The fate of the beautiful, young woman fascinates the narrator who is entirely taken by the enigmatic painting and the inscrutable circumstances of the lady's death. It is in this way that the author is able to create simultaneously a sense of both mystery and tragedy, and this essay will examine in greater detail howthese two elements are combined in order to make up the Gothic mood typical for Poe's writings.Firstly, I will have a look at the author and his background before providing some general information about this short story. In this case, a biographical approach to The Oval Portrait is very enriching and is able to shed light on some aspects, as we will see later on. Secondly, I will concentrate on the appearance of the mysterious atmosphere in the work, such as the narrator's equivocal reliability, the mansion and its relation to the Gothic, the role of light and darkness, and the open questions. My third point of analysis will be the tragic: how is Poe able tomake both the story's narrator and his readers be captivated by such a sad woman's death withinless than four pages To begin with, I will focus on the painter and his obsession with his art, aswell as the dilemma whether the latter is inevitably irreconcilable with life. Then the woman'soutward appearance, that is her surpassing loveliness, will be linked to what Poe himself saysabout the role of beauty and horror in his work Philosophy of Composition.Furthermore, James Twitchell's interpretation of The Oval Portrait will be taken into account.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: The futuristic film 'Metropolis' was Fritz Lang's reaction to his trip to New York in 1924. Both being shocked and brimming over with enthusiasm for the city's skyscrapers, cars as well as the rapid development of machines, inventions and thus the whole human life, he was able to realize the dangers that lie therein. It is the aim of this essay to examine how exactly Lang tried to present his fears and speculations to the spectators in order to initiate them in the set of problems depicted in the film. The first thing we see is that in the mega- city Metropolis are living two different classes of society, and the lives of the people could not be more discrete: First of all, the workers in the underground and their depressing living quarters are shown. Everyone is dressed in grey, dark colours prevail and create a melancholy, sad atmosphere. Theuncomfortable environment is dull and suffocating. The men move in a way that resembles a convict's last march to the scaffold, with the music always emphasizing the mood of a scene. They all look to the ground and seem to be tired and hopeless, almost resembling a mass of prisoners. No individuals can be figured out because there is an absolute uniformity and anonymity. Like slaves, they are treated as inferior people having to obey their ruthless masterswho force them to live and work under miserable conditions.In contrast to this claustrophobic subterranean world, the great city is shown with its numerous skyscrapers and impressive architecture. The carefree ruling class enjoys their live to the full and the sun shines brightly. We see young men doing sports in the open, embodying the direct opposite of the workers previously shown.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2011 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,5, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: You will write if you will write without thinking of the result in terms of a result, but think of the writing in terms of discovery, which is to say that creation must take place between the pen and the paper, not before in a thought or afterwards in a recasting. It will come if it is there and if you will let it come. (Gertrude Stein)Gertrude Stein has been an extraordinary person in many respects: it is not only her biographical background that is impressing and which shows what a strong and self-confident woman she was, such as her foundation of the American Fund for French Wounded during the First World War. Also by her work Tender Buttons, written in 1914, she has successfully created an entirely new kind of literature. Yet her playful, but at the same time not immediately understandable way of writing is considered as hermetic, being pretty difficult to read. This is why Sprigge writes that '[b]oth as artist and as woman Gertrude Stein has always been a subject of controversy. Ridiculed on the one hand she is acclaimed on the other as the creator of a literary style that has set its mark in twentiethcentury prose and poetry.' (xiii).This style has largely been influenced by cubist painting and her friendship with Pablo Picasso. Tender Buttons is thus of course an homage to him, and there are many similarities between cubism and Stein's writing. However, it is the aim of this essay to point out both in what way the art movement contributed to her work, and how she is at the same time able to overcome this male tradition by stepping away and changing it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Stuttgart, language: English, abstract:King Richard II is a play which has been written around 1595 by William Shakespeare. Due to the fact that there are references to the following works Henry IV Part 1 and Part 2 as well as Henry V, and that these four plays represent a closed period in English history, scholars refer to them as 'the tetralogy' or 'the Henriad'. The author's main source was R. Holinshed'sChronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 1587, to which he also added some aspects while changing or leaving out others. Shakespeare focuses on the conflict between Richard and Bolingbroke who conspires against the king and finally becomes King Henry IV. From the very beginning, we can find speeches, situations, and images hinting at something horrible that willhappen. It is the aim of this term paper to examine them in greater detail in order to show how the dark atmosphere is created and why the protagonist King Richard II fails to recognize all warnings from people in his surroundings.First, I will talk about the functions and effects which subtle warnings throughout a play can have. In my opinion, they are important features, so I agree with Wolfgang H. Clemen who also thinks that '[i]t is strange that the role of anticipation and foreboding in Shakespearian [sic] drama has so far not received adequate attention and treatment' (25). Next, I am going to show act by act what is revealing of the king's cruel fate. The conclusion at the end will sum up where the most important warnings have been, and what other questions are approached in the play. Finally, I quote my primary and secondary sources.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,5, University of Stuttgart, course: Cultural Seminar, language: English, abstract: 'Christmas. that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance, a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.'This quote by Augusta E. Rundel illustrates so well the innermost feelings of the speaker inDylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas in Wales, who reminisces about the most beautiful time ofthe year he passed with family and friends. However, he does not just recount facts in anemotionally detached way; and it is the aim of this term paper to analyze the confounding ofthe adult and the child speaker, that is, the former being entirely plunged in his memoriessurrounding him 'like a fragrance', he seems to actually be the child he was, reliving somescenes again.First of all, after having given some information about the text version of Thomas' work, I willintroduce Gérard Genette's theory of narratology, and mainly focus on the distinction betweennarration and focalization. This subtle difference, as well as other terminology referring to thequestion of perspective, is very enriching, as it permits to localize the narrator's point of viewand involvement, to understand the story's organization, and eventually, to reflect on the howand why of the blurring of boundaries between the adult speaker of the here and now (at themoment of speaking), and the child speaker experiencing the events. I will argue that thosetwo are intertwined, with several gradations more or less explicit in text and film.Next, the way of narrating, the style, and linguistic issues will be examined, in order toattribute certain expressions or sentence structures either rather to the adult, or to the child. Ofcourse it is not always possible to draw a clear-cut line, but nevertheless, there are passageswhich I believe to be revealing when arguing in favor of a perspective. It is crucial not toforget that the latter does not stay static, but that we can detect shifts of position throughout thestory. This gives reason to dwell on some scenes in further detail.The second part of my work will deal with the film A Child's Christmas in Wales. As above, Iwill begin with some general remarks; then I would like to investigate the impact of thecamera position because a stage director, by means of making different choices concerningdistance, or angle of vision, can influence the spe.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Recension Littéraire de l'année 2014 dans le domaine Romanistique - Langue italienne et sarde, Littérature, Science sociale, note: 1,7, , langue: Français, résumé: 'Il lettore [.] non ha quindi soltanto il compito di coglierne il senso e di valutarne limiti e pregi. Deve innanzi tutto cercare di portarli a compimento conferendo loro l'assetto unitario di cui sono rimasti privi'. Cette citation d'Alberto Burgio peut être considérée comme l'approche de l'auteur lui-même à l'oeuvre gramscienne, celle-ci étant incomplète, mais en aucun cas fragmentaire ou incohérente. Burgio, philosophe, homme politique et professeur d'Histoire de la philosophie à Bologne, semble parachever sa recherche sur Gramsci - à qui il a déjà dédié plusieurs livres - par ce volume qui se propose de lire tous les écrits du théoricien et politicien sarde, comme nous allons le montrer. Ce travail a pour but de présenter et d'analyser Gramsci. Il sistema in movimento en trois parties : dans un premier temps, nous parlerons du contexte, c'est-à-dire du cadre historico-politique dans lequel s'insèrent les concepts et les théories. Ensuite, nous nous interrogerons en détail sur l'approche et les objectifs de l'auteur afin de répondre à la question de savoir si Burgio parvient à voir les liens entre les différents sujets du corpus que nous présenterons et à justifier son approche ainsi que ce qu'il en déduit. Nous nous attarderons sur ses résultats, et pour finir, notre critique et d'autres observations seront présentées dans la conclusion.

Tant Natalie Zemon Davis queHenri-Jean Martin soulignent le rôle des foires, également mentionnées dans le poème ci-dessus,mais aussi l'étroite coopération professionnelle. Dans un deuxième temps, je parlerai donc desmétiers qui sont liés à la production et la publication d'un livre. Ensuite seront présentés quelquespersonnages clé qui étaient partie prenante de la diffusion du texte imprimé, dont par exempleGuillaume Rouillé, Sébastien Gryphe, et Jean de Tournes. Puis, je parlerai des années dumécontentement qui se sont terminées par la grève des ouvriers. Tout au long de ce travail, jeprendrai en considération les textes et enjeux évoqués pendant le cours.Finalement, il y aura une brève conclusion, et j'indiquerai les sources que j'ai pu consulter.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Document de l'année 2012 dans le domaine Etudes des langues romanes - Français - Littérature, note: 1,9, , langue: Français, résumé: « La conscience est la voix de l'âme,les passions sont la voix du corps. »(Rousseau, Émile ou De l'éducation) Dans son oeuvre Julie, ou la Nouvelle Héloïse, Jean-Jacques Rousseau souligne, particulièrement à travers son personnage de Saint-Preux, le rôle décisif du corps qui est non seulement le lieu d'expression des sentiments, mais qui ne peut que faire preuve de nos passions sincères. Grâce à la forme épistolaire sous laquelle le roman se présente, l'auteur peut confronter ses lecteurs à une variété de voix et à des réflexions intérieures. De plus, en examinant les émotions qui se manifestent enfin dans les lettres, on peut remarquer une incertitude, voire une ambiguïté concernant la compréhension des réactions corporelles face à un événement, un geste ou une impression. Cet essai a pour but de comparer les extraits des lettres de Claire, Julie et Saint-Preux, aussi bien que de pointer où le corps apparaît comme moyen de s'exprimer et se situer au monde.D'abord, je regarderai de près les lettres envoyées de Saint-Preux à Julie ; le langage, les images ainsi que l'impact des causes extérieures sur l'intérieur, c'est-à-dire de Julie aux sentiments de Saint-Preux, par exemple, seront pris en considération.Puis, à l'instar des lettres de Julie, j'aborderai, entre autres, la question de la position puissante de cette dernière en rapport avec une dépendance de la part de son amant.Ensuite, la lettre de Claire donnera matière à revenir sur le pouvoir que l'amour exerce et qui est même capable de déclencher de vives réactions du corps.Finalement, il y aura une conclusion de mon travail sur les extraits, et l'indication des sources consultées.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essai de l'année 2012 dans le domaine Etudes des langues romanes - Français - Littérature, note: 1,7, , langue: Français, résumé: Dans son ouvrage Les fables du deuil, paru en 2001, l'auteur Carine Trevisan cherche àillustrer la relation entre un événement tranchant tel que la Première Guerre mondiale, et les écritsqui en ont résulté. Elle s'interroge sur les soldats qui ont survécu à cette «catastrophe inaugurale dusiècle», et met aussi en évidence la famille du mort ou du revenant. Ce compte-rendu a pour butd'étudier la démarche adoptée par l'auteur dans son ouvrage, ainsi que d'analyser les différents sujetsqu'elle évoque, en faisant le lien entre certains aspects de l'oeuvre et les thèmes abordés dans leséminaire.Je parlerai dans un premier temps de l'approche de Carine Trevisan et de quelques perceptionset impressions de la guerre qui réapparaîtront, de manière plus détaillée, au fil des chapitres de sonlivre. La glorification du soldat donnera ensuite matière à examiner les rites du deuil et leurdéveloppement au fil du temps : je mettrai ainsi l'accent sur ce que l'auteur écrit sur la famille,particulièrement les femmes, leur quête du corps perdu, et la signification des reliques. Après avoiranalysé la relation ambiguë entre les morts et le survivant, je passerai à l'étude de cette dernièrefigure, en posant la question des limites expressives de la langue dans sa capacité à dire lasurvivance. J'écrirai enfin une brève conclusion de mon travail sur cette oeuvre, et j'indiquerai lessources que j'ai pu consulter.
