Mary Wroth’s major literary works, The Countesse of Mountgomeries Urania and the poetry collection Pamphilia to Amphilanthus, are distinctively Baroque: Wroth repeatedly, obsessively, demonstrates a fascination with multiple narratives, the blurring of fiction and history, and eruptions of magical or miraculous interventions. She establishes the contours of a female Baroque subject, who has to absorb and attempt to transcend enculturation by the dominant male discourse. What happens when a woman enters the predominantly male discursive poetical playground of Petrarchism? Could a woman envisage anything more than her own fragmentation? Would hers be the ‘same’ anguish as that articulated on behalf of the dominant male subject position? What cultural forces speak through her in addition to those she attempts to control?

Sonnets From The Portuguese

It has not passed unnoticed that the courtship of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett coincides with Barrett's ambivalent fascination for mesmerism. But what has not been explicated is the interrelationship between mesmeric agency, the courtship correspondence, and Barrett's autobiographical Sonnets from the Portuguese. Daniel Karlin has suggestively described Barrett's representation of her suitor as an erotic mesmerist, to Browning's discomfort, but Karlin assumes the familiar stereotype of mesmeric power as an unproblematic operation of a dominant male practitioner upon a passive female patient. This essay critiques such an assumption, and suggests that a revised model of mesmeric influence helps elucidate not only Barrett's representation of the courtship in the letters and the Sonnets, but literary influence as well. If Barrett depicts herself in the thrall of a mesmeric agency, then how do we read what is interpreted by feminist critics as her revolutionary active subject position in the Sonnets, which has been taken as the transformation of Victorian women's poetry?

There is an ethical and scientific need for objective, well-validated measures of low mood in captive chimpanzees. We describe the development of a novel cognitive task designed to measure ‘pessimistic’ bias in judgments of expectation of reward, a cognitive marker of low mood previously validated in a wide range of species, and report training and test data from three common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). The chimpanzees were trained on an arbitrary visual discrimination in which lifting a pale grey paper cone was associated with reinforcement with a peanut, whereas lifting a dark grey cone was associated with no reward. The discrimination was trained by sequentially presenting the two cone types until significant differences in latency to touch the cone types emerged, and was confirmed by simultaneously presenting both cone types in choice trials. Subjects were subsequently tested on their latency to touch unrewarded cones of three intermediate shades of grey not previously seen. Pessimism was indicated by the similarity between the latency to touch intermediate cones and the latency to touch the trained, unreinforced, dark grey cones. Three subjects completed training and testing, two adult males and one adult female. All subjects learnt the discrimination (107-240 trials), and retained it during five sessions of testing. There was no evidence that latencies to lift intermediate cones increased over testing, as would have occurred if subjects learnt that these were never rewarded, suggesting that the task could be used for repeated testing of individual animals. There was a significant difference between subjects in their relative latencies to touch intermediate cones (pessimism index) that emerged following the second test session, and was not changed by the addition of further data. The most dominant male subject was least pessimistic, and the female most pessimistic. We argue that the task has the potential to be used to assess longitudinal changes in sub-clinical levels of low mood in chimpanzees, however further work with a larger sample of animals is required to validate this claim.

ABSTRACT Literary works is one form of art in which language is used as a medium, one of them is poetry. Language in poetry is free and solid regarding the licencia poetica, yet it still contains various aspects of life as the poet’s idea. In order to convey his ideas, the poet uses diction on poetry. The usage of dictions on poetry are able to reveal many things, for example, a city. The description of a city through diction within literary works are often depicted through Indonesian poetry. One of those poetry collections which potray a city through diction usage is Sarinah Poetry Collection by Esha Tegar Putra. This research present the usage of dictions within Sarinah Poetry Collection by Esha Tegar Putra. The problems being discussed are (1) how does the diction interpret a city within the Sarinah Poetry Collection by Esha Tegar Putra (2) how is the relation between the diction and other poetry elements contain in Sarinah Poetry Collection by Esha Tegar and (3) how does the meaning contained within Sarinah Poetry Collection by Esha Tegar Putra related to the diction which intepreted city. The approach used in this research is stylictica with qualitative method. The data were obtained from fifteen poems  written in Sarinah Poetry Collection by Esha Tegar Putra. The result of this study showed that within this Sarinah Poetry Collection are carried diction in form of nouns, verbs, dictions with connotative and dennotative meaning, and diction in form of basic words also words that have undergone morphological processes. The usage of the diction based on the word type and the meaning type is aiming more valid interpretation about city, such as name of the places and facilities provided in the city. Based on the form, the usage of the diction within  Sarinah Poetry Collection is working as the element to strengthen the atmosphere withi the poems. the diction contained in this poem are related to other poetry elements such as tone, imagery and figure of speech, so that they could bring a whole unity meaning of the poem. The diction being used by the poet is functioning to reinforce the meaning and the atmosphere, so that the depiction about a trip, traffic jam, bustle, poverty, environmental matters and injustice that represent a city is clearly present.

Bakhtin employed the term as a means for explaining the hybrid nature of the modern novel and its many competing utterances. Heuristic—A heuristic argument is one that depends on assump-tions garnered from past experience, or from trial and error. History/historicism—History designates, broadly, the study or record of a series of chronological events. In addition to denoting a sphere of knowledge that explores past events, history refers to the events or phenomena that affect a given nation or institution. A somewhat vague term, historicism in critical discourse suggests either that human thought is historically grounded and undergoes epistemological trans-formations during the course of history (so that what con-stitutes the idea of beauty in aesthetic thought does not remain static but changes, for example), or that history is understood as a ideological process, whereby transforma-tions occur as part of a general and necessary series of developments. More generally, historicism connotes an as-pect of literary criticism that studies literary works within their heterogeneous or interrelated historical contexts. In addition to exploring the social or cultural forces at work in a given literary text, historical critics attempt to account for the reception and literary significance of that work in the past and the present. Historical critics recognise that literary works function as the product of the social, historical and cultural forces inherent in the era of their composition. Homophobia—Fear and hatred of homosexuals. Homosocial—Term coined by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick to de-scribe the networks of male-male relationships in literature and in culture at large. Homosociality covers a spectrum of male relationships from father and son, buddies, love rivals, sports opponents and team-mates, club members and so on -which might all be undertaken by strictly 'straight men' -through to entirely homosexual relationships at the other end of the spectrum. Humanism/humanist—Western European philosophical dis-course, the first signs of which emerged in the Early Modern Period, and, subsequently, critical mode that argues for the

Abstract Literary works across cultures are never written in a vacuum. They depict the reality of the society where they are set. With the societal obligation of the writers to serve as righters, especially in Africa, this study attempts a pragmatic inquiry of the state of the Nigerian society as implicitly and artistically painted in Remi Raji’s poetry collection, A Harvest of Laughters. The known literature on Remi Raji’s A Harvest of Laughters have analysed the collection mainly from literary and ideological perspectives. Attention has not been given to the collection from a pragmatic perspective, hence the intervention of this study. Drawing insights from Jacob Mey’s Pragmatic Acts Theory, the study analyses the pragmatic imports in the collection with fourteen (14) randomly selected excerpts across different segments of the collection constituting the data. Data was purposively selected from different poems in the collection. The findings show that the two major discursive issues in the text are the depiction of the government as cruel and the portrayal of the citizenry as victims. The former was conveyed through the practs of oppressing, embezzling and deceiving, while the latter was revealed through the practs of suffering and hoping. The study concludes that pragmatics is a valuable tool in the demystification of texts.

Contemporary Rusyn Literature in Slovakia after 1989 The turbulent history of European nations in the 20th century culminates in 1989, the year of the Velvet Revolution, which has resulted in many positive changes for big as well as for small nations on the continent. In the history of Rusyn literature this period is called the Literature of the Third National Revival as it sees a significant increase in the number of writers, literary works and various publishing activities. The first part of the paper presents the socio-cultural situation of Rusyns in this period and possibilities of publishing literary texts in their language. The second part contains thematic and genre characteristics of the Rusyn literature in Slovakia after 1989. The last part is an interpretation of a poetry collection by Daniela Kapraľová which belongs to the most interesting works in the contemporary Rusyn literature in Slovakia.
