Abstract:

Abstract Some letters in Ovid's Heroides include stories which the heroines imagine their lovers narrating. Thus, in some letters Ovid has constructed both a heroine's and a hero's narrative (the latter probably mediated by the former). This paper argues that there are similarities in the narrative strategies of the stories that Ovid attributes to the heroine and the hero in Heroides 9 (Deianira and Hercules) and 13 (Laodamia and Protesilaus), and then analyzes the interpretative possibilities that arise from this type of narrative assimilation. Through the use of intertextuality and relative mythological chronology, it also explores whether Ovid's heroines model their husbands after themselves as narrators, or whether their narratives are influenced by those of the heroes instead.

Abstract:

With the improvement of women's social status, the female market in the game market has been continuously developed, which makes the otome game culture gradually become popular. Because there is relatively little academic guidance for games in this category, otome's game has received polarizing reviews. It does help to establish the growing status of female group and show their growth, but also reflects some inadequacy of stereotypes in the portrayal of heroines. To improve this situation, the study found that even though the players put themselves subjectively in the heroine's perspective to enjoy a virtual romantic relationship with the heroes, the heroine and the player in otome's game still can form a para-social relationship because the heroines different image from the players. Taking the Para-social Interaction (PI) and Wishful Identification (SI) theory as the starting point, this paper discusses the chance of the heroine becoming a role model for players, possible process of the heroine becoming a model for players, what benefits can heroines bring to players as a role modle, and what kind of settings can make the heroine an effective role model. At the end of the study, this paper gives some specific suggestions for designing otome games.

Abstract:

This paper was developed from a talk that I gave on heroes and heroines in Zimbabwean fiction at the now defunct Book Café in Harare, Zimbabwe. By the time they invited me, my hosts had already come up with a clearly demarcated guideline of who heroes and heroines are, and connected these heroes and heroines to what they called 'revered' values of 'our' society. My response was not to follow that template, but to create a separate deconstructionist taxonomy that questioned such an assumption. This deconstructionist adventure was based on the belief that heroes/heroines are not the same for everyone, especially in a post-independence Zimbabwean society characterised by conditions that are far removed from the promises of independence. Thus, in a country whose independence has been postponed because of various factors, including a leadership whose form of governance involves violence against its citizens in the name of protecting them, a monolithic view of heroes/heroines and revered values needs to be interrogated. Zimbabwean literature offers an inventory that refuses to pander to my hosts' template, and it is this inventory that I used to question the assumption that Zimbabwe was one, huge, happy and united national family because based on its many literary texts, what we have is a dystopian family still trying to find its way and define its heroes/heroines.

Lawuyi, Olatunde Bayo. "The Depersonalized as Vanishing Hero and Heroine in Yorùbá Moral Placards." Yoruba Studies Review 3, no. 1 (2021): 1–19. http://dx.doi.org/10.32473/ysr.v3i1.129926.

Full text

Abstract:

The paper critically examines the relationship between the idea of moral placards and the existence of Yorùbá heroes and heroines. It takes as its starting point the philosophical import of the Yoruba proverb. Ọjọ́ a bá kú là ń dère, èèyàn ò sunwọ̀n láàyè (It is on the day one dies that one becomes an idol; no one is appreciated when alive). The paper argues that in the imagination, reality, and social constructions of the Yorùbá, desirable existence would make the dead, and not a living person, a deity, hero or heroine. It further argues that because Yorùbá society permits the co-existence and co[1]extensiveness of individual and public moral placards which is not regarded as an entirely closed system, an otherwise depersonalized person can later become a hero/deity/heroine. Basically, therefore, public moral placard can be revised to accommodate new values, give rise to new class of people, and establish for them an enviable status. These arguments are then deployed to the understanding of the nature of heroes and heroines within the Nigerian post-independence polity.

Abstract:

Kristoffer Schmidt: Ludvig Holberg’s Swedish epigones One of the most read authors among eighteenth century Swedes was none other than Ludvig Holberg. This is not only evident by the success of Holberg’s writings in Sweden but also because many Swedish authors directly or indirectly attempted to imitate his writings. In particular, the biographical books Lives of Heroes (1739) and Lives of Heroines (1745), modelled after the Greek historian Plutarch’s Vitae Parallelae, became immense successes, spawning three Swedish imitations: two written by the publisher Carl Christopher Gjörwell (1755–56, 1757) and one written by the historian Anders Schönberg (1756).Through a comparative analysis, this article examines the similarities and dissimilarities between Holberg’s Lives of Heroes and Lives of Heroines and the Swedish imitations. The analysis reveals that although Gjörwell and Schönberg acknowledged their reliance on the biographical method, historical contents and moral reflections in Lives of Heroes and Lives of Heroines, their imitations were rather free interpretations, whether relying heavily or deviating significantly from the Holbergian originals.

Abstract:

TRACING HEROES OF THE DANISH WEST INDIES – HEROES AND HEROINES OF THE DANISH WEST INDIES There are not a lot of heroes connected to the history of the sugar colony in the Danish West Indies. From a Danish perspective, the story of the Danish governor general Peter von Scholten as the liberator of the enslaved African-Caribbeans of the West Indies has traditionally been the most established narrative. However, this narrative of the colonial power giving freedom to the enslaved, is being contested by competing narratives of heroes and heroines fighting for - and ultimately taking – their freedom. The article focuses on the narratives of the enslaved freedom fighter General Buddhoe, the plantation worker and rebel leader Mary Thomas and on the labour union leader David Hamilton Jackson, and advocates their canonisation even in a Danish context.

Abstract:

C.S. Lewis and Philip Pullman are two very popular authors of British Childrenâ s Fantasy. Their books The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe and The Golden Compass straddle the period of writing that Karen Patricia Smith calls the Dynamic Stage of British Fantasy: from 1950 to the present. Both of these books are part of a larger series and both have been made into recent motion pictures by Hollywood. This paper explores these two books through the lens of their conventional and progressive authors. I discuss in detail the gifts that the heroes and heroines are given, the setting of these books, and the function of destiny and prophecy in order to explore the irony of these books: C.S. Lewis, often viewed as the more conventional author by scholars, is in fact more progressive than his contemporary counterpart.

Abstract:

Childhood is socially constructed and holds profound meaning for contemporary society. Although children are increasingly seen as social agents, the dominant view is that children are unable to make substantial contributions to society due to their immaturity and minority status. Childhood theorists have countered this by emphasising the importance of seeking children’s views, an approach which underpins this study. Children’s books provide ideological sources for constructing and understanding childhood. They have a cultural role in representing childhood to children and adults and are widely perceived to be a resource for children’s education and socialisation. In addition, children’s books are written, produced and their use is mediated by adults. This study aims to find out if books provide a space for children in a predominantly adult constructed world by exploring what young people think about the ways in which childhood is represented in children’s books. The research was undertaken with young people aged 10 to 14 years, concentrating on the lower and higher end of the age group, and took place in schools. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used with 158 young people taking part in a questionnaire survey and 43 participating in interviews. The study found that young people were active co-constructors, rather than passive recipients, of representations of childhood in children’s books. Young people demonstrated that they were skilled text handlers who acknowledged the influence of other media on their engagement with books although there were marked differences in their reading interests depending on age and gender. Young people were interested in fiction which portrayed assertive and competent depictions of childhood which they could relate to their own experience as well as enjoying reading about young characters with powers and skills which were extraordinary. Young people did not view childhood or the depiction of childhood negatively, accepting it as a state of being rather than one of becoming, hence contributing to their own understandings of childhood.

Hopkins, Susan. "Pop heroines and female icons : youthful femininity and popular culture." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 1999.

Abstract:

The thesis suggests much feminist theorising on girls' and young women's relationship to popular culture is limited by a 'moral-political' approach which searches for moral and political problems and solutions in the consumption of popular images of femininity. The thesis offers a critique of such 'moral-political' interpretations of the relationship between youthful femininity and popular culture. Following thinkers such as Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean Baudrillard, the thesis opposes the political preoccupation with 'reality' and 'truth'. The study follows Nietzsche's and Baudrillard's notion of the 'Eternal-Feminine' which accepts the necessity of illusion, deception and appearances. Through a close textual analysis of magazines, films, television and music video, this study offers an aesthetic appreciation of popular culture representations of femininity. The thesis comprises six essays, the first of which explains my Nietzschean inspired aesthetic approach in more detail. The second essay looks at images and discourses of supermodels and model femininity in women's magazines. The third looks at image-based forms of 'girl power' from Madonna to the Spice Girls. The fourth essay examines the 'Cool Chics' of the pay TV channel TVJ,from Wonder Woman to Xena: Warrior Princess. The fifth essay, 'Gangster Girls: From Goodfellas to Pulp Fiction' considers the 1990s model of the femme fatale, the bad girl who thrives on moral chaos. The final essay 'Celebrity Skin: From Courtney Love to Kylie Minogue' suggests some of the most powerful feminine role models of our time have built their careers not on notions of authenticity and truth but rather on the successful management of illusion and fantasy. The essay argues that our social world has outgrown the traditional moral-political approach which aims to lead girls and young women from 'deceptive''immoral' appearances to moral, 'authentic' 'reality'. The pleasures of popular culture, Isuggest, cannot always be linked to deep meanings but may be drawn from superficial appearances and beautiful surfaces.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Família e Género
Este trabalho teve como principal objetivo explorar a forma como a identidade de género tem vindo a ser representada no universo da Banda Desenhada (BD) mainstream norte – americana, de super-heróis e super-heroínas, distribuída em Portugal. Partindo das teorias de género, das teorias do construcionismo social, das várias correntes do feminismo, optámos por um estudo longitudinal, a partir de uma amostra intencional de revistas de BD (comics), produzidos e divulgados desde os anos 60 do século XX até 2017, inclusive, dos principais títulos das duas principais editoras Norte-Americanas: Marvel Comics e DC Comics. Numa abordagem metodológica mista, aplicámos as técnicas de análise de conteúdo, análise narrativa. A análise incidiu sobre a equipa de produção dos comics, em termos representatividade de género, sobre as personagens principais e as narrativas. Aplicámos entrevistas a artistas de BD, na medida em que possam ter tido influências deste tipo de BD, tenham ou não na sua agenda as questões de género. Nas conclusões finais, podemos afirmar que a forma como os estereótipos de género são transmitidos nos comics, bem como os atributos associados, são marcadamente sujeitos a influências externas e crenças individuais do corpo de produção. Contudo, verificamos, desde os anos 1960, até 2017, que as grandes editoras têm vindo a enquadrar-se nas novas realidades sociais: nas equipas de artistas insinua-se maior diversidade de género, o que gera conteúdos onde se integram e interagem personagens desafiadoras da dualidade de género e da hétero-normatividade.
This thesis main goal was to understand the way has gender identity has been represented in north-american mainstream comics of super-heroes and super-heroines, distributed in Portugal. Starting from the theories of gender and feminist theories, we opted for a longitudinal study, from an intentional sample of BD magazines (comics), we opted for a longitudinal study of an intentional sample of comics produced and divulged since the 60s of the XXth century until 2017, of the main titles of the leading north-american imprints: Marvel Comics and DC Comics. In a mixed methodological approach, we applied techniques of content analysis and narrative analysis. Our analisys focused on the comics production team, in terms of its gender representation, upon the main characters and the narratives. We conducted interviews with comics artists, having or not in their agenda gender issues. In the final conclusions, we can state that the way gender stereotypes are transmitted in comics, are markedly influenced by external influences and individual beliefs in the production team. Also the major publishers have been placed in the new social realities: artistic teams gender diversified, contents and characters who are challenging gender duality and heteronormativity.

Abstract:

The genre of epic fantasy, with its origins in patriarchal mythologies, has traditionally been the realm of male protagonists and masculine modes of heroism. Authors of children’s epic fantasy, however, often portray pairings of male and female child protagonists working together in the fight against evil. And yet, despite the inclusion of female protagonists in many epic fantasies for children, patriarchal values dominate the genre, as aggression, physical prowess, rational detachment, and action define the hero. Through the lens of post-structural feminist theory, this study—spanning twelve texts, seven main characters, and 130 years of literary history—examines the female child protagonist and the intersection of girlhood and heroism as depicted in the epic fantasies of George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, and Philip Pullman.

Abstract:

“Depend on Heaven for food” (kao tian chi fan, 靠天吃飯) is a well-known Chinese proverb. The presumed author of this expression was Wen Kang (文康), his novel Legend of Heroes and Heroines (儿女英雄傳) Ernü Yingxiong Zhuan first published in late 1870s became very popular. The expression “depend on Heaven for food” is from the 33rd chapter of the novel. Yet, the image under the title Picture Depend on Heaven for Food (kao tian chi fan tu, 靠天吃飯圖) appeared earlier than novel: two stone steles dated 1813 with the same picture, but different commentary text. In the academician Vasyli M. Alekseev’s collection of Chinese popular prints nianhua there are several engravings on this subject, the explanations for which are in the notebooks of the Chinese xiansheng mentors V. M. Alekseev to his collections of folk art (St. Petersburg Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, fund 820, inv. 1, files 473, 479a). And finally we can compare xiansheng comments to (kao tian chi fan tu, 靠天吃飯圖) with the essay on the same subject by Lu Xun in his Qie Jie Ting Essay Collection (雜文集: 且介亭雜文二集, 1935).

Abstract:

This paper examines Jane Austen’s representation of the heroines of Pride and Prejudice and Emma, using Karen Horney’s psychosocial theory of basic anxiety that emphasizes the role of childhood experiences and the impact of socialization on an individual’s psychological development. Firstly, the examination shows certain episodes in the heroines’ early experiences that shape their adult identity and self-knowledge. The analysis reveals that those heroines are highly affected by their parents or chaperones, who themselves may suffer from neurotic problems that impede their ability to properly provide care and support for their children. Moreover, this research delves into how social norms and expectations affect the heroines’ self-image and worldview.

Abstract:

This paper embarks on a comprehensive exploration of Jane Austen’s heroines in Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey, utilizing Marilyn Butler’s conceptual framework of “fallibility” and “exemplarity.” The primary objective is to categorize these heroines based on these archetypes, recognizing the nuanced coexistence of positive and negative traits within each character. To augment this analysis, the research seamlessly integrates Karen Horney’s psychosocial theory, introducing an additional layer that emphasizes the significance of early childhood experiences, interpersonal dynamics, and the pervasive influence of societal and cultural factors on the psychological development of the selected heroines. This dual-theoretical approach facilitates a holistic examination that extends beyond superficial character analysis. The study intricately delves into the origins of psychological anxiety in the heroines’ lives, carefully scrutinizes the role of fundamental conflicts in shaping their behaviour and emotions, and thoroughly examines coping mechanisms. Significantly, the lens of self-idealization is employed to unravel how these characters navigate the challenges presented in their narratives. The research aptly recognizes that fallibility may coexist with positive traits, and exemplarity may coexist with negative traits, illustrating the complex, multifaceted nature of Austen’s characters. The central focus remains on unravelling the dual nature of characters, where strengths and weaknesses coexist simultaneously. This study not only sheds light on the interplay of these elements but also provides profound insights into the intricate psychological dimensions of Austen’s heroines, thus contributing substantially to a deeper understanding of the socio-psychological fabric within which these characters exist.

Abstract:

Jane Austen is one of the most prominent writers of the 19th century. In terms of chronology, her six novels fall between the 18th-century neoclassical formality and the effusive romanticism after the 19th century. Her novels portray the socio-political and cultural landscape of Regency England even though her prose style, manner, and approach held no resemblance to her contemporaries. Austen seems to operate in a limited landscape and writes about what she is most familiar with birth, love, marriage, death, faith, and judgment. She details the tedious business of living of the gentry in her society and displays unrivaled knowledge of the upper middle class. Even though issues of women were at the crux of Austen’s writing, Austen is not considered to be a staunch feminist writer. She concentrated on upper-middle-class women whose marriage, and courtship were the cynosure of her plots as she thoroughly examines the right basis for marriage in her work. However, most of her heroines have been written off critically as the selfsame Cinderellas. Therefore, the monotonous aura engulfing Austenian heroines who are in search of marital bliss has been inadvertently appendaged to the Cinderella Complex and hence the prejudiced critique. Austenian heroines are said to lack passion and vibrancy and by extension, character. This paper intends to analyze the portrayal of two Austenian heroines in view of the Cinderella Complex with the objective of exploring these portrayals beyond the Cinderella archetype. Keywords: Victorian women, Cinderella Complex, marriage, self-discovery, happiness

Abstract:

In the center of the works studied, Tōkaidōchū hizakurige by Jippensha Ikku and Tōkaidō gojyūsantsugi by Okamoto Kanoko, lies a journey of the characters along the Tōkaidō road. Despite the fact that the two works are of different genres and are more than one hundred years apart from each other, the space of the Tōkaidō road is a common element for them, wherein the ways of expression of the chronotope of the road varies for both authors. The Tōkaidō road in Ikku’s work is a specific “anti- world” — a grotesque, carnival dimension, where sensuous pleasures and humor rule. The dimension here is discrete, the time in this chronotope is linear and “endless”. In Tōkaidō gojyūsantsugi, in opposite, amidst the Tōkaidō road, a “micro-world” of a heroine, a journey into the deepest layers of her soul is taking place. With the heroes of past and present, wandering along the road in reality and in fantasy, the heroine finally finds her own place in the changing world.

Abstract:

In the last few decades, the southern route’s use for drug trafficking gained prominence as increased law enforcement and unrest in the Middle East made the traditional ‘Balkan route’ less viable. This southern route transports drugs, mainly heroin, from its production in Afghanistan to Pakistan or Iran, to eastern Africa – including Tanzania and Mozambique- and consequently to South Africa, after which it is moved to Europe (Aucoin, 2018; Otto & Jernberg, 2020). Notable targets of trafficking via the southern route have been the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands (UNDOC, 2015). It is difficult to know for certain the quantities of drugs being trafficked through eastern Africa, but the literature puts it at up to 40 tonnes, with 5 of those staying behind, while the rest is transported overseas (Haysom et al., 2018a, 2018b). Due to various political and economic shifts, methamphetamines produced in Afghanistan recently also began to be trafficked alongside heroin shipments through the southern route, with recent estimates putting it at 50% of drugs being trafficked (Eligh, 2021). Most of the literature agrees that, in recent years, drug trafficking routes in eastern Africa have shifted due to political changes, but there is no evidence to suggest that the amount being trafficked have decreased.
