Abstract:

This thesis conducts a philosophical, theoretical, and practical exploration of digital technology design to examine how digital technologies can fulfill our two-facet of existentiality – identified in the thesis as belonginess and novelty. By belonginess, I identify human’s innate need for a feeling of connectedness and harmony with the self, others, and the natural world. The word novelty implies the human interest in exploration, invention, and desire for new experiences. This research suggests that contemporary digital technologies are largely novelty need-oriented, while o

Abstract:

This thesis undertakes a fundamental reappraisal of Shakespeare's existentialism. The drama of Shakespeare and existentialist philosophy, I contend, are equally fascinated by issues such as inwardness, authenticity, freedom, and self-becoming. In recent years, Shakespearean criticism has shied away from these fundamental existentialist concerns reflected in his drama, preferring to investigate the historical and cultural conditioning of human subjectivity. However, as this thesis argues, a failure to acknowledge and address the existential problems and intensities at the heart of Shakespeare's

Abstract:

This thesis carries out an analysis of the plays by Samuel Beckett, Endgame and Happy Days. It achieves this by exploring how the playwright&rsquo<br>s characterization, setting and use of language in these plays display his tendency to employ some existentialist concepts such as despair, anxiety and thrownness on the way to authenticity. This study argues that there are some similarities between Beckett&rsquo<br>s two plays and Existentialism, and some characters in both plays display the existentialist man who is looking for becoming an authentic man. In other words, although there are some

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: John Michalczyk<br>Despite a long affiliation with film dating back to the French New Wave, existentialism has remained a fascination reserved for art film producers and intellectual viewers for decades. In the early twenty-first century, director Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy marked the first time existentialism bubbled over from niche art films into the most blatant form of popular culture: the summer blockbuster. This analysis explores Batman Begins and The Dark Knight as up-to-date pictures of modern existentialism, embodied by Bruce Wayne’s journey through fear, chaos

Abstract:

Film exhibits an existential time structure. It presents characters and events in the present moment and as the film progresses the future of the characters is built from their past within the film. Characterisation in film differs from that of the novel primarily in that characters are seen as they become what they are through their actions. In the novel a character is already fixed. Film also differs from theatre in that the differing use of space allows for a more intimate acting style on the part of the actor and more involvement on the part of the viewer. Film noir, in particular, manifes

This thesis discusses the scope for philosophy in and about film. It applies philosophical analysis to both the form and the content of Antonioni's films, and is thus both a philosophical approach to Antonioni's cinema as well as an exploration of his philosophical thought. The first part of the thesis reviews worthwhile discussions that are relevant to the complex relationship between film and philosophy. It also assesses the way in which the trend of philosophical thought known as existentialism fits into this relationship. General notions about existentialism are thus reviewed, as well as t

Dada is often dismissed as an anti-art movement that engaged with a limited and merely destructive theoretical impetus. French Existentialism is often condemned for its perceived quietist implications. However, closer analysis reveals a preoccupation with philosophy in the former and with art in the latter. Neither was nonsensical or meaningless, but both reveal a rich individualist ethics aimed at the amelioration of the individual and society. It is through their combined analysis that we can view and productively utilise their alignment. Offering new critical aesthetic and philosophical app

There has to date been no attempt at a detailed explication of James Kelman's novels from a consistently existential standpoint: this thesis constitutes an attempt to do so. Whilst a number of the critical responses engendered by Kelman's work mention the presence of existentialist motifs, this is usually done in passing. My central claim however is that it is impossible to comprehend Kelman's fictions without a thorough understanding and appreciation of the extent to which existential concerns inform both his fictional and critical work. I argue that a consequence of viewing Kelman as an exis

This thesis is an exploration into the function and form of storytelling. Its initial assumption is that consciousness is a genetically transmitted mechanism which generates a concept of self by creating a story. In this formulation, the consciousness is called narrative-consciousness. Since the concept of self necessarily suggests its opposite and this in turn involves awareness of existential futility, the purpose of the story, generated by the narrative-consciousness, is seen to be, in the first instance, the hiding of this unavoidable and potentially damaging awareness.

This work looks at the thought and rationale of Charles de Gaulle and offers an alternative view than that traditionally offered by AngloAmerican political science.

The thesis rejects this interpretation and argues that this is a product of explaining de Gaulle from a decidedly Anglo-American perspective that predominantly concentrates on the political aspects of de Gau!le and 'Oaullism' as oppos

This essay investigates how Norman Mailer’s “true-life” novel The Executioner’s Song may also be read as an autobiography. The novel contains strong traces of Mailer’s existential philosophy as related to sexuality, non-conformity and death. The essay discusses the nature of the relationship between truth as defined by the author and the function of autobiography to tell the truth about a life. The discussion centres around Mailer’s conviction that the novel is a better, i.e. more accurate vehicle for truth than is the autobiography.

This thesis is concerned with an extreme emotion, the emotion of rage.

Abstract:

George Orwell's reputation as a writer rests largely upon his final two works, selected essays and some of his journalism. As a novelist, he is often considered limited, and it is for this reason that his writing has perhaps received less serious attention than that of many of his contemporaries. Some recent publications have sought to redress this balance, identifying an impressive level of artistry, not only in his more recognised works, but in the neglected novels of the 1930s. Yet, aside from studies focused upon his political beliefs, there has been a lack of attention given to the wider

This thesis presents an existentialist reading of William Faulkner’s early fiction (1925-31). Moving away from a regionalist perspective the thesis argues that Faulkner’s work can be viewed as part of a universal and aesthetic exploration of the human condition. By focusing specifically on Jean-Paul Sartre’s early philosophy (1930s-40s) and the concepts of consciousness, the duality of being: being-in-itself (the world of objects) and being-for-itself (human consciousness), the thesis investigates the way in which consciousness operates ontologically in Faulkner’s prose.

Ainsi l’homme suarésien va partager les préoccupations des philosophes existentialistes (bondissement, engagement, néant, angoisse, mort, altérité, aliénation), proche en cela de Jean-Paul Sartre, de Louis Lavelle entre autres.

Achieving awareness of being through despair means that Byron's characters fall back on nothing but themselves, that is to say, on the presence of their being, which suggests that an embedded ontology is at work in Byron's

The primary aim of this thesis is to discern whether Sartre's early work on phenomenal consciousness has distinctive and valuable contributions to make to current debates over these issues in anglophone philosophy.

This involves much exegetical work concerned with Sartre's use of terms and principles drawn from previous thinkers. The secondary aim is to show the extent to which the famous themes of Sartrean existentialism - free
