Resumo: | This essay examines life writing by English author Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) and Yankton Dakota writer Zitkala-Ša (1876-1938), specifically Woolf’s memoir, “A Sketch of the Past,” written in 1939-40 and first published in Moments of Being in 1976, and Zitkala-Ša’s autobiographical essays, published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1900. This comparative study explores how both women establish selfhood amid competing pressures vying for their minds and bodies; how mothers and maternal loss shape their autobiographies; how physical and psychological place and displacement influence their life writing; and how matters of audience affect their literary self-portraits. Reading Woolf and Zitkala-Ša together yields fresh insights into the intersections of race, class, gender, and feminism in women’s writing. |

“A Living Mosaic of Human Beings”: The Life Writing of Virginia Woolf and Zitkala-Ša“A Living Mosaic of Human Beings”: A escrita de vida de Virginia Woolf e Zitkala-ŠaThis essay examines life writing by English author Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) and Yankton Dakota writer Zitkala-Ša (1876-1938), specifically Woolf’s memoir, “A Sketch of the Past,” written in 1939-40 and first published in Moments of Being in 1976, and Zitkala-Ša’s autobiographical essays, published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1900.

Este estudo comparativo explora como ambas as mulheres estabelecem suas individualidades em meio a pressões concorrentes que competem por suas mentes e corpos; como a figura de suas mães e a perda materna moldam suas autobiografias; como lugares físicos e psicológicos e o deslocamento influenciam suas escritas de si; e como questões relativas ao público leitor afetam seus autorretratos literários. Ler Woolf e Zitkala-Ša juntas produz novos insights sobre as interseções de raça, classe, gênero e feminismo na escrita das mulheres.UFSC2021-06-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/7836110.5007/2175-8026.2021.e78361Ilha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; Vol. 74 No. 2 (2021): Life WritingIlha do Desterro A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies; v. 74 n. 2 (2021): Escritas de Vida2175-80260101-4846reponame:Ilha do Desterroinstname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/article/view/78361/46606Copyright (c) 2021 Kristin Czarneckihttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCzarnecki, Kristin2021-06-09T17:52:26Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/78361Revistahttp://www.periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterroPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/desterro/oaiilha@cce.ufsc.br||corseuil@cce.ufsc.br||ilhadodesterro@gmail.com2175-80260101-4846opendoar:2021-06-09T17:52:26Ilha do Desterro - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
