This paper explores Allen Ginsberg’s poetry through the lens of embodiment and corporeality. It shows how, in Ginsberg’s poems, the relationship between the physical and the formal is incredibly tight: indeed, the two often coincide. This paper considers two remarkable examples of embodiment: Kaddish (1961) and poems from Mind Breaths (1977). In Kaddish, physical embodiment is embedded in the poetic verse through the representation of female grotesque physicality. This reflects formally, as the line itself leaks in length and unraveling, reflecting unboundedness and fluidity. In poems from Mind Breaths, Ginsberg experiments with a new kind of embodiment, one in which consciousness becomes equated with breath. In these poems, he achieves a coincidence between breath and line in the content and in both the form of the poems. This paper ultimately sheds light on how Ginsberg’s long line creates and facilitates exchanges between the physical and the formal in the poems.

This article offers an analysis of a three fictional narratives within a literary trend whereby, since the 1990s and early twenty-first century, some contemporary Haitian American female authors have been writing about the consequences of rape culture within the Haitian/Haitian American community in order to denounce and break the silences imposed on a form of gender-based violence overwhelmingly present in a tradition where women’s bodies have always been regarded as territories of (post)colonial conquest. Through a comparative close reading of Edwidge Danticat’s Breath, Eyes, Memory (1994), Jaira Placide’s Fresh Girl (2002) and Roxane Gay’s An Untamed State (2014), the article aims to examine these novels’ dissolving of traditional taboos around rape by means of an explicit portrayal of the sexual violence suffered by their female protagonists at the hands of other Haitian (American) characters and the traumatic consequences resulting from such vicious acts. The article concludes by demonstrating that, in contrast to the Haitian novel that seems to have influenced these narratives in their extremely realistic representation of the rape scene and its aftermath—Marie Vieux-Chauvet’s Amour, colère, folie (1968)—Danticat’s, Placide’s and Gay’s heroines are depicted as survivors capable of recuperating their bodies and subjectivity by sharing their traumatic stories with others, including the implied reader.

A large and growing body of literature has investigated the standardization process of the English language in the Late Modern English period (Auer 939–948, Percy 55–79, Tieken-Boon van Ostade 37–51), with various factors contributing to it, such as the printing press, spelling reforms, normative grammars and dictionaries. In the process of standardization, which “involves the suppression of the optional variability” in a language(Milroy and Milroy 6, original emphasis), prescriptivism played a crucial role, and it has been argued that, by the early eighteenth century, English spelling had become standardized and stable (Scragg 80). However, Tieken-Boon van Ostade points out that in the eighteenth century two spelling systems coexisted, i.e., a public and a private one (11). The present study provides additional evidence to the existing knowledge of the topic through the analysis of the spelling and punctuation system of the text in London, Wellcome Library, MS 3731, aneighteenth-century collection of medical instructions and cookery recipes. By means of the study of contractions, superscript letters, capitalization and line breaks, this article unveils new insights into the variability and characteristics of the spelling and punctuation system in this period. The findings provide valuable evidence and enrich our understanding of the broader standardization process in English historical linguistics.
大量文献对晚期现代英语时期英语语言的标准化过程进行了研究（Auer 939-948，Percy 55-79，Tieken-Boon van Ostade 37-51），其中涉及各种因素，如印刷术、拼写改革、规范语法和词典。标准化过程 "涉及压制 "一种语言中的 "可选变体"（Milroy 和 Milroy 6，原文强调），在这一过程中，规定主义发挥了至关重要的作用，有观点认为，到 18 世纪初，英语拼写已经标准化并趋于稳定（Scragg 80）。然而，Tieken-Boon van Ostade 指出，在十八世纪，两种拼写系统并存，即公共拼写系统和私人拼写系统（11）。本研究通过分析伦敦威康图书馆 MS 3731 中文本的拼写和标点系统，为该主题的现有知识提供了更多证据。通过对缩略词、上标字母、大小写和换行的研究，本文揭示了这一时期拼写和标点系统的变化和特点。这些发现提供了宝贵的证据，丰富了我们对英语历史语言学中更广泛的标准化过程的理解。

The discussion of women’s sexuality and reproductive rights is at the core of Margaret Atwood’s Surfacing (1972). The Canadian writer explores sex, contraception, pregnancy, giving birth and abortion through the female characters of Anna and the unnamed narrator. In dealing with these issues, Atwood employs images of machines and animals that are deeply rooted in Western culture’s understanding of the female body to criticize and expose the exploitation and control of women in patriarchal societies.

The marketing strategy behind Jennifer’s Body capitalized on Megan Fox’s emerging status as a sex symbol. As a result of this, many reviewers criticised it for not fulfilling their male fantasies. Ten years after its release, Jennifer’s Body is now interpreted as a feminist story. This essay explores the limits and contradictions of these readings through an analysis of the depiction of female monstrosity in the film. It starts with the establishment of a theoretical framework on the representation of female monsters in horror cinema and of the monstrous teenage girl. The analysis will be structured in three parts. The first examines the use of irony and self-consciousness in the satanic ritual scene in relation to the film’s portrayal of male violence. The second part reads Jennifer’s monstrosity as a result of her neoliberal, over-sexualised femininity. The last section explores the relationship between Jennifer and her friend Needy, which makes both of them monstrous in their own distinctive manners. This essay posits Jennifer’s Body and its representation of the monstrous feminine as both a feminist denunciation of a patriarchal system and a perpetuation of the same clichés the film wants to subvert.
