‘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.

Just what is narrative urgency?

This article takes as its main point of departure a body of empirical research on reading and text processing, and makes particular reference to the type of experiments conducted in Egidi and Gerrig (2006) and Rapp and Gerrig (2006). Broadly put, these experiments (i) explore the psychology of readers’ preferences for narrative outcomes, (ii) examine the way readers react to characters’ goals and actions, and (iii) investigate how readers tend to identify with characters’ goals the more ‘urgently’ those goals are narrated. The present article signals how stylistics can productively enrich such experimental work. Stylistics, it is argued, is well equipped to deal with subtle and nuanced variations in textual patterns without losing sight of the broader cognitive and discoursal positioning of readers in relation to these patterns. Making particular reference to what might constitute narrative ‘urgency’, the article develops a model which amalgamates different strands of contemporary research in narrative stylistics. This model advances and elaborates three key components: a Stylistic Profile, a Burlesque Block and a Kuleshov Monitor. Developing analyses of, and informal informant tests on, examples of both fiction and film, the article calls for a more rounded and sophisticated understanding of style in empirical research on subjects’ responses to patterns in narrative.

O burlesco e o satírico na obra de Marcial e Juvenal

A presente dissertação assenta na análise comparativa da obra de Marcial e Juvenal e tem como principais objectivos evidenciar a natureza burlesca e satírica que lhes assiste, assim como a (a)temporalidade e o alcance pedagógico-didáctico que as suas palavras comportam. Neste sentido, a análise tomou como matéria a abordagem que ambos fazem de temáticas comuns, no âmbito da representação da sociedade imperial do século I d.C. O trabalho divide-se em duas partes: I. Contexto e Condicionalismos; II. A vida quotidiana em Roma. A primeira subdividida em dois capítulos: 1. O espírito burlesco e o espírito satírico; 2. Apologia pro opere suo, e a segunda em quatro: 3. Modus vivendi Romani: prazeres e distracções em Roma; 4. (A)masculinidade Romana; 5. A condição feminina e o seu lugar em Roma; 6. Clientelismo e patronato sob o olhar de Marcial e Juvenal. Depois de uma contextualização dos termos burlesco e satírico, fundamentalmente alicerçada no primitivo espírito romano, procedeu-se à abordagem dos condicionalismos culturais, sócio-políticos e bibliográficos que melhor contribuem para a compreensão das principais diferenças/semelhanças entre a natureza, as intenções, as estratégias discursivas e a projecção das obras em causa. Na segunda parte, a análise comparativa da representação que os autores fazem da vida quotidiana em Roma focou essencialmente quatro aspectos, abordados em capítulos distintos, conforme supra-enunciado: no primeiro, a visão global que os autores projectam de Roma, através da representação dos principais divertimentos e distracções que ocupam e agradam aos Romanos; no segundo, a moralidade/falsidade que assiste aos comportamentos masculinos; no terceiro, a invectiva à mulher e ao lugar que esta ocupa nas relações sociais, afectivas e sexuais; no quarto, a instituição patronatoclientelismo e os valores sociais e morais que a revestem. A partir desta análise atestam-se as afinidades e o alcance de um fim semelhante nas obras de Marcial e Juvenal, não obstante a natureza e as diferenças estruturais que lhes assistem. Desta dissertação constam também uma Introdução e uma Conclusão, uma Bibliografia, bem como um Índice geral e um Index auctorum et locorum latinorum.
