Candidates for l’Ecriture Feminine: Analyses of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Woolf’s Night and Day, and Morrison’s Sula

This thesis discusses Hélène Cixous’ ideas on feminine literature, as expressed in her article, “The Laugh of Medusa,” and attempts to apply the goals that she sets out for what feminine literature must look like in order to develop the literary cannon to the novel. In an attempt to pull away from traditional patriarchal images and expectations of feminine lifestyles, I join Cixous’ call for the marginalized to inscribe their voices into the cannon for themselves, and argue that representation of such images in literature is necessary to the development of our biased perceptions to more authentically represent typically marginalized groups. I examine three examples, Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Woolf’s Night and Day, and Morrison’s Sula, which I argue to be historical examples of novels that both portray and question the limits that patriarchal structure places on femininity. In each of these works, I discuss female characters and their relationships with parental figures, other women, and romantic interests, where preconceptions of femininity based on patriarchal tradition are present, and suggest how these characters are able to show a more nuanced representation of feminine identity. As boundaries placed on women have evolved over time, as have our preconceptions of femininity, and the perspective from within marginalized positions within symbolic order must be shared in order to continue the development of meanings understood within our culture

Choosing your weapons: On sentiment analysis tools for software engineering research

Recent years have seen an increasing attention to social aspects of software engineering, including studies of emotions and sentiments experienced and expressed by the software developers. Most of these studies reuse existing sentiment analysis tools such as SentiStrength and NLTK. However, these tools have been trained on product reviews and movie reviews and, therefore, their results might not be applicable in the software engineering domain. In this paper we study whether the sentiment analysis tools agree with the sentiment recognized by human evaluators (as reported in an earlier study) as well as with each other. Furthermore, we evaluate the impact of the choice of a sentiment analysis tool on software engineering studies by conducting a simple study of differences in issue resolution times for positive, negative and neutral texts. We repeat the study for seven datasets (issue trackers and STACK OVERFLOW questions) and different sentiment analysis tools and observe that the disagreement between the tools can lead to contradictory conclusions
