Abstract:

The thesis analyses Margaret Atwood's renowned "The Handmaid's Tale", showing how the author, through the depiction of a dystopic future world, deals with significant 20th-century issues, such as environmental pollution, racial and sexual inequalities and the dynamics of power and totalitarianisms, for instance, thus criticizing the contemporary world she lived in. As a dystopia, the narrative owes a great deal to Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four". However, at the same time, I demonstrate how the influence of Postmodern literature differentiates it from its predecessors (Orwell, Huxley, Bradbu

Abstract:

This essay aims to highlight and explain the gender inequality, the sexual assault and the rape in Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale from a feminist perspective, using the theory of the individualist, interactionist and institutional approach to gender found in Wharton’s The Sociology of Gender. Research questions: How does gender inequality shape the characters in the novel? What does it mean for them? How can the gender inequalities seen in Gilead society, as well as the sexual violence in the novel, be explained using sociological perspectives on gender? Gender inequality, which is what leads to

Abstract:

Using postmodern, feminist and queer notions of utopia/dystopia and narrative theory, this thesis contains an analysis of The Handmaid’s Tale (novel 1985; film 1990; TV series S01 2017) based on theoretical and methodological understandings of utopia/dystopia and narrative as deeply connected with notions of temporality and relationality, and of violence and resistance as the modes of expression of utopia and dystopia in the source texts. The analysis is carried out in an explorative manner (Czarniawska 2004) and utilises the notion of “disidentification” (Butler 1993; Muñoz 1999) and the conc

This thesis is a comparative study of two contemporary novels: Christa Wolf's: Cassandra (1983) and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale (1985).<br>Wolf's Cassandra can be interpreted as a utopian projection. It is an expression of Wolf's not so modest proposal: "Literature today ought to be research on peace."<br>Atwood examines the underside of hope. While describing the present time as alarming, she speculates about the future. Juxtaposing the two novels provides a view of the political and philosophical imagination of the two authors.

La politica nelle serie tv diventa sempre più estrema, ma quando quella reale, con l’elezione di Trump, supera quella televisiva in stranezze, incompetenze e crudeltà, sembra che le sceneggiature non riescano più a stare al passo con ciò che accade fuori lo schermo: lo mostra bene The Good Fight, in cui la

This essay deals with how Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) works as a critique of the patriarchal hierarchy and the values it brings. This is portrayed in a dystopic setting in which women are subordinate to men, but also men being subordinate and marginalized by other men. Based on a gender theory on masculinities, an analysis is made on two male characters; Luke and the Commander. Both characters gain advantages in society because of hegemonic masculinity. One of them gains advantages in pre-Gilead society, and the other in the Gilead society. The focus of the analysis is o

This essay shows how Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) functions as a critique of patriarchal society as it depicts a dystopic, dismantled society where women are divided into societal groups on biological grounds. Based on socialist feminist literary theory, an analysis is carried out of two of the female characters, Offred and Serena Joy, who are both oppressed by a patriarchal, totalitarian government; an oppression that is manifested in different ways. Offred is used as a tool to provide children and Serena Joy is confined within the home. The focus of the analysis is on t

Det föds sällan barn i landet och av de som föds är endast tre av fyra barn friska. Kvinnor med låg social status, men med fungerande livmoder, utses till tjänarinnor och enligt republiken har de en ärofylld uppgift; att föda friska barn åt aristokratiska makar. Republiken legit

In The Handmaid’s Tale, Atwood indirectly exposes frightening and undemocratic traits in societies of our time when she applies them to a fictive future in which these factors have caused horrible consequences.

In one of her many interviews, Margaret Attwood states that in writing "The Handmaid’s Tale", she was inspired by Orwell’s dystopia par excellence, "1984". It is not so easy, however, to insert the novel in a specific literary genre. First of all, Atwood distances herself from the term science fiction and replaces it with that of speculative fiction. Secondly, just as the protagonist of her novel, Offred, has an inclination to play with words, so Atwood coins a new term to better define the genre of "The Handmaid’s Tale": ustopia. She argues: “Every dystopia contains a little utopia, and ever

Abstract:

This thesis explores the conflicting and polarising nature of contemporary motherhood, whereby tactics of surveillance and monitoring generate internalised anxieties surrounding the achievement of “good” motherhood. Through a textual analysis framework, this thesis examines the capacity for televisual texts to intervene in and provide a commentary on, the cultural conversations surrounding the regulation of mothering practices and the kinds of subjectivities women can inhabit in 21st century America. The heightened politicisation of women’s bodies in the United States and its intersecting rel

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the prevalence of religious themes in the work of several prominent contemporary women writers—Margaret Atwood, Michèle Roberts, Alice Walker and A.L. Kennedy. Relying on Luce Irigaray’s recent theorisations of the religious and its relationship to feminine subjectivity, this research considers the subversive potential of engaging with religious discourse through literature, and contributes to burgeoning criticism of feminist revisionary writing. The novels analysed in this thesis show, often in violent detail, that the way the religious dimension has been conceptuali

Abstract:

In opera, the opera chorus actively shapes the dramatic structure through interactions with the soloists, commentary after events, and momentum provided toward scene endings. Since the chorus traditionally represents the voice of the people, it also provides a natural access point by which audiences may connect to the unfolding drama. To realize its dramatic potential, an opera chorus must have a resonant, vibrant sound that is more “soloistic” than other genres of choral music. Indeed, there are quantifiable acoustic differences between classical solo and choral singing. The characterizations
