Knowles, Thomas. "Lyrical ballards : the wounded romanticism of J.G. Ballard." Thesis, Nottingham Trent University, 2015. http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/32190/.

Abstract:

This thesis aims to provide a new account of the post-war British author J. G. Ballard (1930-2009) and his work, and in particular of his complex engagement with and critique of Romanticism. As such it represents an original contribution to knowledge in the areas of both J. G. Ballard criticism and in the study of Romantic legacies. Ballard’s ambivalent response to the legacies of Romanticism is seen to form a part of his overall ambivalence and ambiguity as a writer. In addition to the traditional ‘high Romantic’ aesthetic and ideology of Romanticism, Ballard is seen to draw upon Gothic, deca

Abstract:

While the fiction of J.G. Ballard has been primarily explored through postmodern criticism, his narratives and settings predict major issues concerning the contemporary discourse of posthumanism. His texts explore the escalating economic, social, and ecological crises converging within the material conditions of human urbanization and late capitalism. Nearly all of Ballard’s novels are as much about locations undergoing a crisis as they are about individuals or communities coming to embrace some extended period of human hysteria. His characters in The Drought, Concrete Island, and Super- Canne

Abstract:

J. G. Ballard’s writing confronts the potentiality of space within the contemporary landscape, articulating complex relationships between the external environment and the individual. In 1983, Ballard stated: ‘[…] the sort of architectural spaces we inhabit are enormously important -- they are powerful. If every member of the human race were to vanish, our successors from another planet could reconstitute the psychology of the people on this planet from its architecture.’ Ballard’s texts are at all times bounded by a materiality which the reader is obliged to pay close attention to.

Abstract:

Focusing on works between the 1960s and the early ’80s, this thesis sets the literature of Donald Barthelme (1931–1989) and J.G. Ballard (1930–2009) within the context of twentieth-century architectural theory and history (written), design (drawn), productions (built), professional practice (managed), and pedagogy (taught). The primary aim of this study is to explore the discursive exchange between literature and architecture, while probing the putative association between postmodernity and architecture. By introducing a broader set of social phenomena into debates about postmodernity, my thes

Abstract:

This thesis consists of a study of the texts of the author J.G Ballard. It adopts a 'critical and dinical' approach to literature as developed in the work of the philosopher Gilles Deleuze. In this context, this involves reading Ballard's work as a diagnostic enterprise, providing a 'symptomatology' of contemporary societies and the new arrangements of social and psychic forces that they are introducing. The first of the six chapters examines a selection of Ballard's early fiction. It argues that Ballard's use of the disaster story genre allows him to generate experimental conditions for inves

Abstract:

The significance of the relationship between Scottish artist Sir Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) and English novelist J.G. Ballard (1930-2009) has previously been overlooked in art historical and literary scholarship. This thesis fills this research gap through the analysis of how the pair’s works overlapped thematically to represent a particular strain of British modernity. By looking at shared cultural circumstances after World War II, parallels will be drawn between the work of Paolozzi and Ballard in the late years of British modernism.

Abstract:

The fiction of J. G. Ballard is unusually concerned with spaces, both internal and exterior. Influenced by Surrealism and Freudian psychoanalysis, Ballard's texts explore the thin divide between mind and body. Two of his novels of the 1970s, namely Concrete Island (1974) and High-Rise (1975), depict with detail his preoccupation with how the modern, urban world pushes man to the point where an escape to inner world is the solution to the tacit and oppressive forces of the external world. This escape is characterized by a suspension of conventional morality, with characters expressing atavistic

In this thesis, I seek to explore conceptions of happiness under neoliberalism through an investigation of contemporary literature, looking at the work of J.G. Ballard and Jennifer Egan. I have sought to offer a loosely Foucauldian reading of the way in which happiness has come to operate as a form of neoliberal governmentality. I build on existing accounts of how a form of neoliberal ‘commonsense’ comes to institute processes of self-management and self maximisation and pay significant attention to an under-represented area of enquiry in exploring how neoliberal happiness discourse permits an

To this end, the concurrence of formal fragmentation and sublime aesthetics in early Gothic fiction models the manner in which narrative structures can appropriate structural tropes of dominant institutions, critically reflecting ideological fracture.

By taking two authors whose work chronologically straddles the postmodern moment to date, the thesis also demonstrates that nostalgia is one issue over which any consideration of postmodernism as a monadic cultural paradigm can be problematised.

Excerpt: Among the most enduring artifacts (along with certain lined-out hymns that are traceable back to sixteenth-century British churches) from the early days of European settlement in Appalachia, ballads are still in everyday use in some regional households and among certain performers, if largely outside the purview of the popular music industry. Even if reduced in range and frequency of performance from their heyday during the preindustrial and early industrial eras, ballads remain relevant today, as they are gems of compact storytelling that communicate thematically timeless narratives.

To demonstrate this thesis, the dissertation examines the invariably dystopic imaginative geographies in the fiction of J. G. Ballard.

The machine is thus in a position of the hinge, the point in a structural system that both enables and deconstruct the system. In the same position we find the woman.

Abstract:

La recherche porte sur les Cahiers du Sud - revue marseillaise à dominante littéraire - et sur son maintien dans le contexte difficile des années de la guerre. Les documents utilisés se composent de l'ensemble des numéros parus pendant la période correspondante - numéros courants et spéciaux - ainsi que du dépouillement de l'abondante correspondance du directeur de la revue, Jean Ballard, avec ses collaborateurs réguliers ou plus occasionnels. La question posée est de savoir comment la revue a pu se maintenir pendant la période de la guerre. Il s'agissait plus précisément d'identifier la missi

El objetivo del estudio es determinar la certeza diagnóstica de los 3 métodos más usados en nuestro medio como son la fecha de última regla (FUR), el método de Capurro y de Ballard modificado, comparados con la ultrasonografía del primer trimestre. El estudio se realizó con los prematuros nacidos durante el año 2008 en el Hospital Nacional Arzobispo Loayza (n =212) que cumplieran con los criterios de inclusión. El estudio mostró una mayor correlación Pearson entre la FUR (r = 0.878) y la ecografía pero con una mayor variabilidad en los resultados (F = 47.188). El método Ballard modificado mo

Abstract:

There is a consensus today that we have witnessed the end of postmodernism in both fiction and theory. Due to contemporary fiction’s break with postmodernism being recent, little research has been done to outline the parameters of what exactly this break entails and its relationship to theory and current socio-political issues. The aim of this thesis is to attempt to differentiate between postmodernist fiction and contemporary fiction that was produced from the late 90’s up to today, outline its main characteristics and suggest alternative ways theory may be used to critically analyse fiction.

Abstract:

Rationale Gestational age is a strong determinant of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Early obstetric ultrasound is the clinical reference standard, but is not widely available in many developing countries. There is a well recognised need to identify reliable and simple methods of postnatal gestational age estimation. Methods A prospectively designed methods comparison study in a tertiary referral hospital in a developing country. Early ultrasound (<20 weeks) was the clinical reference standard. Methods evaluated included anthropometric measurements (including foot-length), vascularity of the

Abstract:

Bibliography: pages 174-184.<br>This thesis examines the 'New Wave' in British science fiction in the 1960s and early 1970s. The use of the terms 'science fiction' and 'New Wave' in the thesis are defined through a use of elements of the ideological theories of Louis Althusser. The New Wave is seen as a change in the ideological framework of the science fiction establishment. For oonvenience, the progress of the New Wave is divided into three stages, each covered by a chapter. Works by the four most prominent writers in the movement are discussed.
