Embobied Object, Material Family. Late-Medieval Wood Sculptures Depicting Saint Anne with the Virgin and Child in Finland Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, was one of the most popular saints in Western Europe in the late Middle Ages. She was often depicted with two other figures, the Virgin and the Christ Child (Anna Selbdritt). The dissertation examines the polychrome wood sculptures showing this motif, with a special focus on those remaining in Finland. It investigates the meanings these sculptures had to their observers in the fifteenth-century Finland. The study sheds light to important material heritage which is little known and offers new insights into the cult and imagery of the holy grandmother. Methodologically the study is based on iconology and post-formalist art history, and it appropriates concepts such as spatiality, sanctity, corporeality, and gender. Taking a comparative approach it knits together larger tendencies and local people and incidents. By conflating methodological domains it renews the ways how fragmentary wood sculptures, lacking documentary written sources, can be contextually interpreted and comprehended. The sculptures are analyzed from three angles. Firstly, the study explores the sculptures by focusing on their materiality and facture, which is to consider them as records of their own making. The analysis provides new information concerning the quantity, location, and current condition of the sculptures and it also elucidates problems regarding attribution, dating, display, and craftsmanship. The book presents the results of the empirical study of 45 Saint Anne groups; these works are individually described in the large Appendix. Secondly, the works are contextualized to the specific historical conditions in which they were observed. The study discusses closely the circumstances in the Turku Cathedral around the shrine of Saint Anne, the popular belief, and the piety of individual persons. The sculptures, deemed as the embodiments of the holy characters, interacted with the devotees. Thirdly, the works are examined within the wider theological and ideological currents of the era centered on the body and Incarnation. Saint Anne with the Virgin and Child motif demonstrated the Carnal Trinity, the motherly side of the Holy Trinity. The dissertation argues that Saint Anne was interpreted as the female counterpart or, in a mythical sense, wife of God. Furthermore, the Child s implicit, simultaneous presence as a suffering or dead man imbues the sculptures with a sense of the Passion, thus associating them with the pietà and the Mater dolorosa motifs. The naked Christ Child underlines him as the offering and, eventually, the Eucharistic wafer. The study suggests that the sculptures mediate continuity and the bloodline between the generations by the intertwined and repeated gestures, clothing and positions of the portrayed figures. Regardless of the ostensible homeliness of the sculptures, so readily reiterated by earlier scholars, these sculptures represented creation and birth through the carnal yet holy mothers.

‘Close as a kiss’: Gyn/Affection in Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad

Margaret Atwood’s novella The Penelopiad (2005) seemingly celebrates Penelope’s agency in opposition to Homer’s myth in The Odyssey. However, the twelve murdered maids steal the book to suggest the possibility of what Janice Raymond calls gyn/affection, a female bonding based on the logic of emotion that, in Atwood’s revision, verges on Kristevan abjection, the sinister and the fantastic, and serves a cathartic effect not only in the maids but also in the reader. This essay aims to question the generally accepted empowerment of Atwood’s Penelope and celebrates the murdered maids as the locus of emotion, where marginal aspects of gender and class merge to weave a powerful metaphorical tapestry of popular and traditionally feminized literary genres that, in plunging into and embracing the semiotic realm, ultimately solidify into an eclectic but compact alternative tradition of women’s writing and myth-making.

Au théâtre on meurt pour rien : essai ; suivi de Le plancher sous la moquette : théâtre.

L’essai Au théâtre on meurt pour rien. Raconter la mort sans coupable, entre Maeterlinck et Chaurette, compare divers usages dramatiques du récit de mort sous l’éclairage de la généalogie nietzschéenne de l’inscription mémorielle. Pour illustrer l’hypothèse d’une fonction classique du témoin de la mort − donner sens au trépas en le situant dans une quête scénique de justice −, l’essai fait appel à des personnages-types chez Eschyle, Shakespeare et Racine. En contraste, des œuvres du dramaturge moderne Maeterlinck (Intérieur) et du dramaturge contemporain Normand Chaurette (Fragments d’une lettre d’adieu lus par des géologues, Stabat Mater II) sont interprétées comme logeant toute leur durée scénique dans un temps de la mort qui dépasserait la recherche d’un coupable absolu ; une étude approfondie les distingue toutefois par la valeur accordée à l’insolite et à la banalité, ainsi qu’à la singularité des personnages. Le plancher sous la moquette est une pièce de théâtre en trois scènes et trois registres de langue, pour deux comédiennes. Trois couples de sœurs se succèdent dans le salon d’un appartement, jadis une agence de détective qui a marqué leur imaginaire d’enfant. Thématiquement, la pièce déplace le lien propre aux films noirs entre l’enquête et la ville, en y juxtaposant le brouillage temporel qu’implique l’apparition de fantômes. Chacune des trois scènes déréalise les deux autres en redistribuant les mêmes données selon une tonalité autre, mais étrangement similaire, afin d’amener le spectateur à douter du hors-scène : le passé, l’appartement, Montréal. Son réflexe cartésien de traquer la vérité doit le mener à découvrir que les scènes ne vont pas de l’ombre à la lumière, mais qu’elles montrent plutôt que dans l’une et l’autre, la mort n’échappe pas aux trivialités de la mémoire.

Femininity, feminism and the terrorist

This chapter aims to discuss the relationship between femininity and representations of women involved in violence, focussing on visual representations. Miranda Alison has made the point that the repeated necessity to qualify the term 'combatant' with the descriptor 'female' draws attention to how women soldiers, female freedom fighters, female suicide bombers and female terrorists are exceptional figures. That the female combatant or the female terrorist is an aberration or a deviation from a masculine norm is undermined by the lengthy history of women as warriors, fighters, and terrorists. In that sense it is not so much that fighting women are rare but that there is amnesia within cultural memories concerning the woman fighter. However, in representations of conflict, the dominant image associated with femininity is passive; that is as the defenceless and the defended, or as the allegory of peace. Moreover, representations of men in wars as defeated or wounded means feminising such figures. Miriam Cooke, in her Women and the War Story, 1996, points out how a mythic war story provides men with political roles, in the politikon or public arena, whereas women are domesticated in the space of the oikon. In the mythic war story women may function as Mater Dolorosa, Patriotic Mother or Spartan Mother. It follows then that there are conditions in which it is permissible to represent women fighting on behalf of their children or in defence of the home, and in the absence of men. These images are also found in wider culture: Sarah Connor in Terminator or Ripley in Alien, for example. Images of the female terrorist raise new issues but I want to argue that it is also the case that discussing femininity and the terrorist must involve relating such imagery to representations of the female warrior over a longer timespan. Some questions have shifted since the late twentieth century. Dating from the early 1990s, most Western nations increasingly incorporated women into combat roles within their armed forces. This paper will aim to unpick some of the intricate connections between the increasing presence of women in the armed forces, what relationship this has to emancipation and the participation of women in violence classed as terrorist.

Kristeva and an archaeology of sources and translation

Pinder examines Julia Kristeva's essay "Stabat Mater," a focus of psychoanalytical, historical and cultural concepts which require very careful consideration. In order to illustrate the complexity of these linguistic and cultural interrelationships, she looks first at Kristeva's own original essay in French to see what light her method of construction may throw on her particular ideas, then examines some translations of the essay into English to see if there is anything lost by attrition or gained by accretion.

"Pero las madres terribles / levantaron la cabeza" : Un topos de la mujer imaginario en la literatura de la Edad de Plata

En diversos textos literarios producidos en España en las tres primeras décadas del siglo XX se observa la recurrencia de un modelo de representación de la mujer ligado a los estereotipos fatales que proliferan en la imaginería artística desde finales de la centuria anterior. Se trata de la mujer "fálica" "usurpadora del poder viril" en función de madre que seduce y fagocita al hijo, o bien convierte al hombre en instrumento desechable de su exclusivo instinto generatriz. Previsible contracara de esa fantasía ominosa es la versión sublimada de la autoinmolación femenina y la figura de la mater dolorosa. Se examina esta temática en obras de Miguel de Unamuno, Federico García Lorca y Cipriano de Rivas Cherif.
