Abstract:

This project examines the relationship between femininity and empowerment in George R. R. Martin's fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. It combines medieval historical context, psychological and sociological research, and feminist theory to construct a framework through which to discuss how power functions in Martin's fictional world of Westeros. With six key characters, I argue that femininity operates as a kind of natural resource anyone can use to access empowerment, regardless of how one personally identifies; further, I illustrate how these routes to power are ultimately more successfu

Abstract:

The prophecies in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series are unclear and often appear to have multiple possible fulfillments, or none at all. In addition, some of these prophesied events occur before they are introduced, which further contributes to the lack of clarity in interpreting them. My thesis will discuss the methods by which Martin offers readers clues to a prophecy’s fulfillment and argue that Martin’s use of these imprecise prophecies challenges high fantasy tropes about prophecies.

Abstract:

In an interview with Hy Bender, Neil Gaiman states, â We have the right, and the obligation, to tell old stories in our own ways, because they are our stories.â While fantasy stands apart from other types of fiction, it still provides a particular kind of commentary on the culture/time it is being created in, often by toying with older themes and conventions. Stories of the quest for kingship tend to fall by the wayside in favor of the â unlikely heroâ tale. While the kingâ s story is not always vastly different from that of the hero, there are some key points that need to be taken into

Denna uppsats undersöker och jämför moderskapsrollen hos två karaktärer i varsin fantasyroman. Catlyn stark i A Game of Thrones av George R. R. Martin, och Essun i The Fifth Season av N. K. Jemisin. Uppsatsen tar hjälp av Simone de Beauvoirs bok Det andra könet och det hon skriver om modern som underlag för begreppet moderskap. Analysen visar att båda karaktärernas moderskap präglas av att de vill skydda sina barn och det dikterar hur de agerar i böckerna, vilket även driver romanernas intriger framåt. Moderskapsrollen är dock något som kan skifta beroende på hur de ser på sig själva och sin r

Abstract:

This dissertation examines George MacDonald's preoccupation with his literary predecessor Percy Shelley. While eminently Victorian in many ways, MacDonald was equally a late Romantic, who was inspired by the Romantic poets and positioned himself as the heir to their radical tradition. While he channeled their visionary ardor, he also made it his duty to correct what he saw as their flaws. I read MacDonald through the figure of Shelley, with whom MacDonald seems to have personally identified, but to whose atheism MacDonald, a devout believer, objected. MacDonald's fascination with Shelley works

West suggested in his introductory preface that Orwell's NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR was based directly on his BBC experience and problems encountered with the Ministry of Information at that time. This thesis argues that, though Orwell probably drew on his BBC experience for the psychological content of NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR, Winston's treatment at the ha

Abstract:

The evolution of twentieth century American music involves much more than the continuation of European tradition. The music of black Americans before and after the turn of the century had a profound impact on the musical sensibility of American culture in general. Additionally, the fledgling popular music publishing industry had a dramatic effect on the course of "classical" tradition. Nowhere was this more apparent than in the music of George Gershwin. Gershwin's importance in the history of American art music is undisputed. Why his music sounds the way it does is less understood. This paper

The Mill on the Floss, by Victorian novelist George Eliot, is a polylinguistic novel in Bakhtine's sense of the word in that it integrates the linguistic diversity of the society which it depicts.

We examine three translations in this thesis: the first is by Francois D'Albert-Durade (1863), the second is by Lucienne Molitor (1957) and the last is by Alain Jumeau (2003).<br>D'Albert-Durade's translation evacuates the linguistic diversity in order to shape the novel to the requ

Abstract:

One seldom comes across felicitous love in nineteenth-century French literature. Viewed in an unfavourable light, being looked upon as sheer utopianism, felicitous love never quite made it as a major theme in fiction. But idealized as it is in the works of George Sand, this particular topic never ceases to be true to life: the "weltanschauung" in which it originates is far too focused on the realm of reality for love to be put through senseless poetising. To highlight this singularity, this essay focuses on the love symbolic in three George Sand's novels, Indiana (1832), Le Meunier d'Angibault

Abstract:

George Grosz's paintings and drawings of Berlin during the Weimar period demonstrate a complex matrix of tensions between nature and the urban experience. In his work, mechanization, sexuality, gender and animality are recurring themes that cue the viewer to the profound anxiety that modernity had unleashed a chaotic force into the city. Using an ecofeminist analysis, I show how the disorder of the city was imagined as a primordial human condition in which a previously disavowed connection to nature was suddenly foregrounded. Though Grosz's renditions of Berlin scenes are ironic, they a

Abstract George Elliott Clarke's 1999 opera Beatrice Chancy is the story of the daughter of a slave owner and a slave in Nova Scotia in 1801.

The play shows how love becomes perverted in a society in which bodies can be owned, to the point that the landscape becomes "transfigured by unfulfilled love" (143). Québécité, on the other hand, is an opera about two interracial couples getting married in contemporary Quebec City.

An early admirer of Van Dyck, Buckingham in turn incarnated the young artist's own aspirations to aristocratic status.

This thesis examines the use of the pastoral form in recent Canadian literature. As the pastoral constitutes a literary site where a concern for landscape converges with a search for community, it has been employed as a myth in nationalist discourses whose functioning depend heavily on symbolized landscapes and idealized social types. The philosophical basis of the pastoral is the classical opposition between nature and culture. For this reason, its representations are often coded as 'natural'. To this extent, the pastoral participates in a hegemonic myth-making system, constituting a limited

Abstract:

The main concern of my thesis is to show that sexuality, and in particular the motifs of bisexuality and sexual violence, which were generally mere modish accessories in the Austrian literature of the fin-de-siecle, have a crucial, constitutive function in the works of these two authors. It seeks thereby to redress the prevalent view of the sexual thematic in both writers as a marginal curiosity rather than as fundamental to the economy of their, in other respects, very different oeuvres. There are striking affinities; in either case a narcissistic ideal of androgynous union with the sister is

Abstract:

L’île déserte constitue un motif privilégié de la littérature d’aventures, une des marques de fabrique du genre en réalité, et il s’agit de comprendre l’intérêt littéraire qu’il revêt, en déterminant la spécificité de ce lieu et des œuvres qui s’y rattachent, afin de définir leurs codes et leurs motifs typiques ainsi que l’évolution de ces derniers dans l’histoire littéraire. Cette thèse s’intéresse en particulier à la mutation que traversent cet espace et ce genre au tournant du XIXe siècle, notamment chez Stevenson, Conrad et Wells. L’ambition de ce travail est ainsi de montrer que l’île est

Abstract:

A presente dissertação tem como objetivo estabelecer um diálogo entre três obras da literatura britânica do século XIX: o romance Frankenstein (1818), da autora Mary W. Shelley; a novela O Médico e o Monstro (1886), de autoria de Robert Louis Stevenson; e o romance A Ilha do Dr. Moreau (1896), de H. G. Wells. Tal comparação será feita com base nas convenções advindas dos gêneros Gótico e Ficção científica, presentes nas obras. Como principal alicerce teórico para a definição de gêneros entendem-se as considerações de Tzvetan Todorov, que defende que os gêneros são inevitáveis como horizonte de
