Abstract:

My dissertation, Letters from Jack and Other Cadavers, developed out of my interest in using persona, narrative forms, and historical details collected through thorough research to transform personal experience and emotions in my poems. The central series of poems, "Letters from Jack," is written in the voice of Jack the Ripper and set up as a series of poems-as-letters to the police who chased him. The Ripper's sense of self and his motivations are troubled by his search for a muse as the poems become love poems, contrasting the brutality of the historical murders and the atmosphere of late 19th century London with a charismatic speaker not unlike those of Browning's Dramatic Monologues. The dissertation's preface further explores my desire for a level of personal removal while crafting poems in order to temper sentimentality. Drawing on Wallace Stevens's notion that "Sentimentality is failed emotion" and Tony Hoagland's assessment that fear of sentimentality can turn young poets away from narrative forms, I examine my own poems along with those of Scott Cairns, Tim Seibles, and Albert Goldbarth to derive conclusions on the benefits distance, persona, narrative, and detail to downplay excessive emotion and the intrusion of the personal. Poems from the manuscript have appeared in The Beloit Poetry Journal, Sybil's Garage, The North Texas Review, and The Sheridan Edwards Review.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes how vulnerability is represented in the Jack Reacher series, by drawing onwork by Bryan Turner and Judith Butler. The purpose of the research is to investigate the reasonReacher’s acts of vigilantism are needed. I look at examples of vulnerability and precarity foundin the books Killing Floor and Die Trying, and argue that state neglect is the cause of economicand social vulnerability in the towns Margrave and Yorke, leading to precarity expressed ascriminal money and community subjugation controlling the towns. I conclude that the solutionpresented, through vigilantism, is reassuring but insufficient, but that the series, in representing acomplex display of vulnerability and acknowledging the insufficiency of the solution, stressesthe difficulty of presenting a simple solution to the multifaceted nature of the issue ofvulnerability.

Abstract:

Cette thèse réunit et confronte les oeuvres de René Daumal, George Orwell et Jack Vance (et plus spécialement leurs romans respectifs : La Grande Beuverie -1938-,1984 -1949- et Les Langages de Pao -1957-) du point de vue de leur appartenance au genre de la linguistique-fiction. L'étude des langages imaginaires et des théories linguistiques mises en oeuvre dans ces récits fantastiques permet ainsi d'étudier les possibilités mais aussi les limites de ce genre littéraire très spécifique tout en mettant en lumière, à travers la quête moderne d'un langage idéal, les démarches littéraires propres à ces trois auteurs
This doctorate addresses and confronts the works of René Daumal, George Orwell and Jack Vance (more specifically their respective novels: A Night of Serious Drinking -1938-, 1984 -1949- and The Languages of Pao -1957-) from the perspective of their belonging to the linguistic fiction literary genre. The systematic study of imaginary languages and linguistic theories at play in these fictions allows for an insight into the potentialities as well as the limits of this specific genre while also highlighting, through the central issue of the quest for a perfect language, each the writers' specific literary approach

Abstract:

Autour des voyages extraordinaires de jules verne, cette contribution envisage un corpus dont la coherence se veut d'ordre psycho-thematique : le voyage comme exploration de la mort, et l'ecriture comme voyage fantasmatique. Des lors, le voyage n'est plus seulement le reve d'epuiser les ressources de la mappemonde, mais aussi un reve d'utopies : utopies de l'ailleurs, de l'amour, du futur, d'un accord nature-societe-utopies qui se voient contraintes, devant les ingerences du siecle, a l'exorcisme paradoxal que constituent les diverses contre-utopies : mal moral explore par le recit policier ou le recit fantastique, souvent associes ; mal politique envisage tant en fonction des blocages imposes au desir, que des trop reelles oppressions d'une histoire titubant a l'aveuglette- tandis que la science-fiction tente d'y voir clair dans la stochastique du futur. D'ou la dilection de notre travail pour les differentes formes de la litterature des limites, celle qui, sachant que le monde n'est que notre representation, se soucie peu des normes d'un pseudo-realisme reducteur. Merveilleux, fantastique, science-fiction, utopie et contre-utopie, poesie et exploration du mal sont donc autant de manieres de dire, non pas l'absurdite, mais le sens infini du monde. Que la transcendance debute par l'ecrit, tel fut peut-etre, du premier au dernier de ces textes, notre fil conducteur
This thesis is a corpus centred round jules verne's voyages extraordinaires and its coherence is meant to be psychothematic : travelling is seen as an exploration of death, and writing as an imaginary journey. Thus, travelling is not merely a dream of exhausting what a map of the world may offer, but also a dream of utopias : the utopias of the extraneous, of love, of the future, of a harmony between nature and society - such utopias are forced into the para- doxical exorcism which the various counter-utopias have formed: a moral evil explored by detective of fantastic narratives, a political evil seen as a repre- hension of desires and as the oppression inflicted by history- meanwhile science-fiction tries to see through a hazardous future. Hence our preference for the various aspects of the literature of limits, which, aware that the world is only our weltanschaaumg, is quite heedless of the rules of a reducing pseudo-realism. Therefore, the wonderful, the fantastic, science-fiction, utopias and counter-utopias, poetry and the exploration of death are as many ways of expressing not the preposterousness but the infinite significance of the world. Let transcendency begin with writing, such was, perhaps, our clew, from the first to the last of these texts

News spread in a faster pace during the Victorian era than before due to improvement in printing technologies, increase in literacy, and expansion in newspaper production. It was this emerging news culture, which contributed to the increasing notoriety of Jack the Ripper. The news coverage of Jack the Ripper that increased sales in newspaper and made Jack the Ripper better known. The extensive coverage instigated fear into the general public by showing the arrogance of Jack the Ripper and incompetence of the police. This thesis will focus on the usage of newspaper reports of Jack the Ripper to discuss how the news media shaped the image of Jack the Ripper, the impact of Jack the Ripper on the image of the police force, and the social settings in London during the nineteenth century.

Abstract:

In recent years, much critical attention has focused on the impact of the serial killer figure on such established literary genres as detective and gothic fiction. The present study reverses this mode of inquiry by looking at the effect of modernist and postmodernist narrative in shaping the cultural construction of archetypal serial murderer Jack the Ripper. Texts discussed include The Whitechapel Murders Papers (1889), Adelaide Belloc-Lowndes' The Lodger (1913), Iain Sinclair's White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings (1987) and Charles Palliser's Betrayals (1994). Of specific concern is the way in which the aesthetic co-option of serial murder has continually worked to obscure and depoliticize its gendered nature. The study closes by suggesting ways in which the wrongs of the Ripper might be re-written in order to produce a less misogynist and exotic conception of multiple murder.

Abstract:

Author Alan Moore, in his graphic novel From Hell, claimed that the Ripper “mirrors our hysterias. Faceless, he is the receptacle for each new social panic”. It is this flexibility that has seen the figure of the Ripper elevated to something of a mythical status in the public eye, with his notoriety arguably outgrowing the very context from which he was born. However, while the Ripper figure has been acknowledged as an evolving and transformative figure in Neo-Victorian fiction, like Moore’s, little has been made of the connection between fictional portrayals of the Ripper and the community of non-fiction writers who speculate about the identity of the Ripper. Scholarship has distanced this community, better known by the label ‘Ripperology’, from fictional representations of the Ripper and Neo-Victorianism in general. The problem with this distancing is that it does not acknowledge the fact that Ripperology texts reimagine and reconstruct the Victorian age through the figure of their prospective Rippers. As a result, Ripperology can be classified under the umbrella of Neo-Victorian literature. By bringing together analysis of fictional and Ripperologist texts, the thesis examines how the community of Ripperology responds to and reflects contemporary anxieties,as do fictional representations of the Ripper. It also explores the symbiotic relationship between the fictional portrayals of the Ripper on one hand, and the community of Ripperologists who seek to bring him to some semblance of justice. This thesis therefore examines a range of Ripper texts as forms of neo-Victorian fiction, demonstrating how they have contributed to the evolution of the Ripper figure, from the earliest reports of the crimes of 1888, to more recent texts in newer mediums and methodologies. By using this approach, the thesis will be able to show how the narratives surrounding the Ripper figure, which have been conjured in both Ripperology and fictional portrayals of the Ripper, have also shaped our understanding of the Victorian era.

Full text

Abstract:

My research explores the interplay between the archival and aesthetic sensibilities of novelists not typically associated with archival practices--Claude McKay, Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, and Jack Kerouac. In juxtaposing their dual roles as public novelists and private archivists, I expose how their literary practices echo with core concepts in archival theory and position the novel as an alternative and superior site of historical preservation. Drawing on my experience as an archivist, I argue that the twentieth-century American novel's concern with inclusivity, preservation and posterity parallels archival science's changing approach to ephemera, arrangement, and diversity. The role of the archive in my work is both methodological and thematic: first, my own research incorporates these authors' cache of research materials, correspondence, drafts, diaries, and aborted or unpublished pieces, obtained during my visits to their various repositories. Second, I extricate the role of the archival in their fictions, and trace how their research, documentation, and classification practices inform their experiments with the novel form. I propose that all these vagabond masters of novelistic craft throw into relief the archive's positivist fallibility while also stressing its creative mutability.

The creative thesis 'New (Old) Fairy Tales for New Children‘ makes a contribution to the field of creative writing research. It comprises creative work in the form of four fairy tales and a novel for upper primary/early high school readers (70%) and a short exegesis (30%). The creative work uses key fairy tale elements to tell new stories for contemporary children. The four fairy tales are intended to sit within the Western European tradition, drawing on the repetitions, cadence and storytelling voice of the tales collected by the Brothers Grimm.
