Abstract:

Gillian Schieber Flynn's fiction is laced with such recurring themes as dysfunctional nature of families, childhood abuse and neglect, and tragic murder of the loved ones. The current study, therefore, will set out to prove that the central characters of Flynn's Sharp Objects, Dark Places, and Gone Girl have been traumatized in their childhood, the effect of which still haunts them through hallucinations, traumatic flashbacks, and nightmares. It will be contended that the characters are still melancholic after many a year, thus fixated on past traumatic events, which they reenact through diver

Abstract:

Since the so-called spectral turn of the 1990s, the ghost has been placed at the forefront of critical debates as a conceptual metaphor through which to destabilize the hegemonic discourses and values of modernity. Adopting the theoretical framework of spectrality studies, this paper seeks to interrogate the functions fulfilled by the ghost in “Tell Me, Tell Me” (1992) and “Resurrection Hardware or, Lard and Promises” (2018) by Randall Kenan. The comparative analysis of both narratives will render spectrality as a multi-layered metaphor of great socio-political import that allows for the artic

Abstract:

The review focuses on the monograph co-written by Doctor of Philology Maria Mikhaylova and the Chinese scholar Yin Liu about Evdokia Nagrodskaya and her works. Contemporary critics dismissed her books as pulp fiction. Yet the researchers prove convincingly that Nagrodskaya’s works reveal a meaning deeper than was assumed by her contemporaries. Moreover, the transgender theme explored in Nagrodskaya’s acclaimed novel The Wrath of Dionysus [ Gnev Dionisa ] remains highly relevant a century upon the book’s first publication.

Isidora Zebeljan was commissioned (granted financial backing) to compose a complete opera with a secured stage realization.

Abstract:

CairnsIn Denmark, the term stenkast (a ‘stone throw’) is used for cairns – stone heaps that have accumulated in places where it was the tradition to throw a stone. A kast (a ‘throw’) would actually be a more correct term, as sometimes the heaps consist of sticks, branches, heather, or peat, rather than stones – in short, whichever was at hand at that particular place. A kast could also consist of both sticks and stones.The majority of the known Danish cairns were presented by August F. Schmidt in 1929. Since then, numerous new ones have been discovered, and we now know of around 80 cairns, cf.

Abstract:

Conrad's relationship to Schopenhauer and the nineteenth-century traditions of pessimism sponsored by the German philosopher has long been a contentious critical issue. This paper discovers a new shaping context for Kurtz, the Promethean outlaw-philosopher and ubiquitous "voice" of Heart of Darkness, not in Schopenhauer's own writings but in the secondary myths, legends, and icons that endowed the great philosopher with a potent cultural afterlife during the period from 1870 to 1900. The numerous consonances between this body of later Schopenhauriana and Heart of Darkness point to ways in whic

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the problem of “translatability” and the encounter of English as the medium of exchange with Persian in James J. Morier’s The Adventures of Hajji Baba (1824) and its sequel (1828). It approaches the question of translatability from two vantage points: First, it considers how the economic assumption of “equivalences”, where words and referents enter a relationship of commensurability, paradoxically creates a pseudo-discourse to uphold the validity of the travelogue as an “authentic” account of the “Orient” and a commodity that once rendered in English can circulate the boo

Abstract:

This chapter suggests that Faulkner’s fiction, especially The Sound and the Fury (1929) and Light in August (1932), shares, with Wordsworth, an elegiac attachment to both the past and place in its representation of nature and natural haunts. In The Sound and the Fury, for instance, Benjy’s experience of the past is a kind of haunting in which figures glide in and out of his narration like ghostly forms. Nature, then, for Faulkner, emerges as a ghostly presence within his fiction which points up the secrets that haunt, but are often concealed (or delayed) by, his own narrative structures. These

It analyzes what Burroughs terms the trilogy’s retroactive utopianism, or the way in which it reactivates the potential of historical revolutions (including the American Revolution and the global revolts of the 1960s) as a way of reimagining the future of global politics. Focusing on The Place of Dead Roads, the chapter shows how Burroughs combines science fiction and the Western to envi

As of his untimely passing in 1937 at the age of fifty-one, Jay Sigmund had authored at least six volumes of poetry and four books of short fiction, an output made doubly impressive by the demands of his day job as an insurance executive in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Today, Jay Sigmund's Waubeek amounts to a ghost of a town, an unincorporated huddle of weathered buildings hugging the south bank of the Wapsipinicon River. Even internet searches come

Abstract:

Contemporary Irish women’s fiction employs gothic motifs to negotiate a traumatic history where a fear of domestic failure exposes immediate dangers through the lens of the feminized body, suggesting specific concerns with reproduction and sexuality. The Irish woman’s body becomes the canvas for cultural change in a national literature haunted by the economic rise and fall of the Tiger, suggesting a loss inherent to present-day life that is no longer associated with colonial violence or the trenches of war but, instead, with financial decline and disaster. The gothic maintains roots in psychoa

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the portrayals of Middle America. How can such a beating-heart section of the country, the very cradle of regionalism, psychically ground and spiritually anchor a nation while simultaneously serving as its ultimate cautionary tale? Those who chose to leave Middle America sometimes hear in its portrayals a chilling message: Middle America is a place to avoid getting stuck in, a place whose fatalistic machinations the monied and mobile do well to escape. Many regionalists present Middle Americans as a Gothic people, from cradle to grave as mindfu

Each moves through mimesis to get beyond it, to show the workings of the soul in a materialist world. Yet Kafka’s sibylline parables and bureaucratic fables have imposed themselves as the illuminations of a Herabgesandter, as the work of a spiritual geographer who wishes to map the terrains of justice, guilt, purity, and authority but has at his disposal only the drabbest, most concrete landscapes imaginable: boardinghouses, muddy villages, alleyways, traveling circuses, shabby apartme

He popularized mathematics through a fictional medieval Muslim scholar who traveled from place to place solving mathematical puzzles, and whose extraordinary powers of calculation become emblematic of Muslim contributions to mathematics.

Abstract Sleuthing and terrorizing, satirizing and swooning, the heroes and heroines of this century’s most popular literature kept pace with new competition, from Hollywood and television. Indeed, the literature of mass entertainment roamed more genres than either newcomer, and fueled the best ideas of both. Westerns go back to the galloping best-sellers of Zane Grey. Modern science fiction owes extraplanetary debt to Robert Heinlein. Agatha Christie “done it” for mysteries; Grace Metalious “bared all” in her mini-saga Peyton Place. And who can shake the horror of Bram Stoker and Stephen King
