Abstract:
British filmmaker, writer, artist, activist and gardener Derek Jarman (1942–94) blended visionary queer politics and a commitment to rehabilitating LGBTQ+ pasts with repeated acts of experimental self-representation. This is the first book-length study to focus on his books, all of which are autobiographical. I use an expanded concept of the term life-writing to encompass not only his published books, but also his strategic self- representations in film. The thesis focuses on work produced in the last decade of Jarman’s life, a period of intense and prolific activity, especially following his

Abstract:
This thesis is an examination of contemporary exilic Palestinian life writing in English. Attentive to the ongoing nature of Palestinian dispossession since 1948, it focuses on how exile is narrated and the ways in which it informs models of selfhood within a context of conflict and loss. This involves adopting a framework of settler colonialism in order to understand the conflict. Broadly speaking, the thesis conceives of Palestinian life writing as a form of testimony posing an urgent and necessary counternarrative to the hegemony of the Israeli discourse on Palestine/Israel.

Abstract:
This dissertation, taking George Gissing as its central example, argues that Shakespeare and his writing both provide late-Victorian writers with a vocabulary for self-expression and urge them to see their work as part of a larger national project. Gissing is a particularly interesting case study because he, alongside his close contemporary C. H. Herford, had more Shakespeare at school than most of their generation, and because he actively responds to the forms and stories of Shakespeare’s work in his own prose and poetry.

Abstract:
In this dissertation I examine the nature and significance of ethical responsibility for witnessing others in life writing, especially vulnerable subjects who have suffered racial oppression and/or personal crises. Drawing on the philosophical ethics of Emmanuel Levinas and Paul Ricoeur, I argue that witnessing others is not simply a matter of testifying to truths about their lives but of responding to them as people beyond what can be seen or known about them. For Levinas and Ricoeur, the most ethical witness of others comes in responding, “here I am” to their humanity and alterity. This resp

Analytical programs provide a way to study the structure and content of written communication.
