Abstract:

Robert L. Mack’s coda, a memoir in miniature, demonstrates why penny fiction should matter to global popular audiences today. Mack recovers an important moment in the history of the metafictional transmedia traditions that penny fiction generated: the 1979 appearance of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s revolutionary Broadway operetta Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a Musical Thriller. With Sweeney Todd’s premiere, the murderous barber got his chance to go global and succeeded terrifically. Drawing upon journalism, archival evidence, and personal experience, Mack reconstructs

Abstract:

Questions of identity, power, autonomy and vulnerability carry a particular weight in cultures that have emerged from colonialism. Although few writers of fiction focus on the conflicts between African and European characters, a focus on power and marginalisation remains. One category in which this focus may be plainly seen is writing for and about young people. The study’s aim was to analyse young adult fiction written by a Ugandan female author, Barbara Kimenye to investigate this writing to find out how young adult vulnerability is depicted in literature. Although literature targeting young

Abstract:

<em>The present paper is an attempt to focus on the social norms which are reflected in the mystery   with specific reference in fictional work of the acclaimed British Woman Novelist. Ruth Rendell is known as the second queen of mystery fiction. Rendell uses her mystery literature to illustrate a number of issues. She employs enigma, suspense, crime, and murder in her novels. Even though she was a female novelist, she was just as adept at expressing today's societal themes as male novelists. She often made the Sunday Times bestseller list. Her best-selling books include standalone p

Abstract:

Phyllis Barber was raised as a member of the Mormon Church. In her fiction and in her autobiographies this is an important element opening suitable realms to analyze her literature. Here I aim at analyzing her contribution to Mormon feminist tradition. In her latest autobiography, Raw Edges: A Memoir, Barber approaches marriage as an institution, helping to illustrate the relevance that certain gender roles still have within Mormon culture. Through the confession of her own failure, Barber echoes former references to penetrate into topics dealing with gender issues within Mormon culture.

Abstract:

In the contemporary postmodern era, the boundaries that once rigidly separated well-established genres have become more fluid, resulting in what scholars Raffaella Baccolini and Tom Moylan call ‘genre-blurring’. This phenomenon of incorporating elements from diverse genres represents a challenge to dominant ideologies and expands the possibilities within fictional texts. The dystopian fiction written by feminist writers towards the end of the twentieth century and beyond significantly exemplifies this form of hybrid textuality. In doing so, these writers seek to renovate the dystopian genre by

Abstract:

Through its play on the limits of fictional genre which underlines the constructedness of genre categories, The Wives of Bath envisages gender itself as an arbitrary construct. Through a series of inversions, crossings and diverse literary encodings the textual strategies at work in the narrative not only problematize the notion of literary genres, they also point to gender itself as a “fiction”. But The Wives of Bath goes further ; through its playing on the boundaries of representation, and its playing with categories of gender, it ironizes any possible unitary narrative of Canada’s national

Abstract:

Focusing on the masked rapper MF Doom, this article uses Karen E. Fields and Barbara J. Fields’s concept of “racecraft” to theorize how the insidious fiction called “race” shapes and reshapes popular “Black” music. Rap is a mode of racecraft that speculatively binds or “crafts” historical musical forms to “natural,” bio-geographical and -cultural traits. The result is a music that counts as authentic and “real” to the degree that it sounds “Black,” on the one hand, and a “Blackness” that naturally expresses itself in rap, on the other. The case of MF Doom illustrates how racialized peoples can

The traditional definition of agency as a sense of rational control and power to cause changes in the “external” world seems poorly equipped to capture the potential of human agency in the times of climate crisis.

In this paper, I suggest a re-thinking of the notion of human agency emerging from an agency-focused reading of two widely discussed climate fiction works, Barbara Kingsolver’s Flight Behavior and Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihi

In these contexts, they are not the result of the spontaneous planning process but are generally produced to imitate such processes.

Abstract In his Writing for an Endangered World (2001), Lawrence Buell coins and defines the term “toxic discourse” as “anxiety arising from the perceived threat of environmental hazard due to chemical modification by the human agency” (31).

The commercialization of Native culture has created a artificial picture of the tragic reality of the removal of this society from their ancient lands.

Both neo-Victorian fiction and popular discourse repeatedly reprise the nineteenth-century Gothic doctor figure to represent a crisis of post-Enlightenment masculinity, as well as problematising the past's continuing influence over our own time. From parodic to sinister re-imaginings of transgressive medical men, the trope constitutes a significant schema through which the nineteenth century is filtered, formatted, and reactivated in and for the present. This essay attempts both an overview of the prevalence of this neo-Victorian trope and an exploration of its deployment in a series of litera

Gender as a category helps to clarify the specific nature of the aesthetic object and the aesthetic event in fiction prose. The gender component reveals itself in visual manifestations of style. As the language proves to be the means of realization of human biological intentions, gender tends to influence the formation of the aesthetic object and the aesthetic event valid for the triad author-character-reader, accounting for its variability. The first novel by the Pulitzer Prize winner Barbara Kingsolver, a writer of the second wave of American feminism, is an illustration of such processes.

Abstract:

Abstract Financial crime was one of the recurring themes in crime stories written in the period of socialist Poland. The writer who first undertook this subject was Leopold Tyrmand in his book “The Man with the White Eyes” (1955). The publication of this book is considered one of the symptoms of the cultural “thaw” and the end of real socialism. Tyrmand shows crime which develops when the state, cooperative and private businesses meet, but also the corruption and powerlessness of Citizen’s Militia. During Władysław Gomułka’s administration (1956–1970), this problem often recurred e.g. in the b

Abstract:

In this paper, I attempt to analyze the 2014 film Under the Skin through its formal and generic elements and relate these to philosophical thought regarding objectivity and gender from theorists including Kant, de Beauvoir, and Irigaray, as well as media scholars Barbara Creed and Laura Mulvey. I argue that throughout the course of the film, by its presentation of horror, science-fiction, and film noir elements, as well as its cinematography, structure, sound, and mise-en-scène a commentary on the societal objectification of women is constructed, all stemming from its presentation of the femal

Abstract:

RÉSUMÉLe mot «migrants» n'existait pas dans la langue des Hellènes; ils étaient plus familiers avec le vocable de l'exil et de l'asile. D'ailleurs, l'exil ne saurait se penser sans son corollaire, l'asile, comme le citoyen antique sans le barbare et la démocratie sans la tyrannie. À travers une métaphore située au carrefour de la fiction historique, de la philosophie politique et de la psychanalyse, cet article propose une réflexion sur l'exil comme condition fondamentale du sujet. L'exil est d'origine, car la langue de l'enfance, la langue dite maternelle est d'abord une langue étrangère. L'e
