Abstract:

The Last Man was published in 1826 and nowadays it is considered the second most famous novel, written by Mary Goldwin Shelley, after Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus published in 1818. Because of its dark features and its often exaggerated language, during the author's time it mainly received a lot of negative feedback, but lately it has started to be reconsidered by the critics especially because of the psychological and biographical traits that emerge from the story. In addition, it is considered the precursor of the science-fiction since, like Frankenstein, it's animated by the inter

Abstract:

No text stands on its own. Indeed, no text has meaning alone because all texts have meaning in relation to one another and to the context in which they are produced. Therefore, each text is linked to others in many different ways, which can either be obvious, because of literary conventions, such as genre or shared themes for example, or these connections can be made by the readers themselves, because the process of reading itself implies moving between texts. However, not only reading but also writing are not linked to one text only, but they imply a link between texts and a movement from one

Abstract:

In 1967 Sallye Brooks Mathis and Mary Littlejohn Singleton were elected the first blacks in sixty years, and the first women ever, to the city council of Jacksonville, Florida. These two women had been raised in Jacksonville in a black community which, in spite of racial discrimination and segregation since the Civil War, had demonstrated positive leadership and cooperative action as it developed its own organizations and maintained a thriving civic life. Jacksonville blacks participated in politics when allowed to do so and initiated several economic boycotts and court suits to resist racial

Abstract:

This English Literature thesis (European PhD EDGES – Women’s and Gender Studies – 34th cycle) is an investigation into the representation of the monstrous body according to the British writers Mary Shelley, Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson. The main objective is to observe how the representation of the categories of monstrous, abject and grotesque in Western cultural imagination have been influenced across time and literary genres. In the novels of Shelley, Carter and Winterson, the monstrous subject is configured as an alternative to the anthropocentric ideal embodied by the normative sub

Abstract:

Donna Haraway has famously claimed that in our time “we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism”. In other words, we are in the midst of a posthuman turn. Even though posthuman has no univocal definition, it may be intended as a way of re-thinking the main tenets which determine our relations with the other inhabitants of the planet and our place in the world. The aim of this thesis is to explore literary representations of posthuman along with the relationship between humans and their “post-s”. In order to do so, it will begin by providing a general overview

Abstract:

L’apprendimento delle lingue è un requisito sempre più importante all’interno della formazione dell’individuo e del suo inserimento nel mondo contemporaneo. Studiare una lingua significa, non solo imparare le regole che la rendono accessibile in quanto codice, ma aprire un ventaglio di possibilità; significa conoscere sé stessi sotto un altro punto di vista, attraverso altre parole e le loro relative connotazioni. Alcuni fattori psicologici caratteristici del periodo infantile, sembrano favorire l’acquisizione della lingua, quali l’assenza d’inibizione, l’elasticità mentale nel identificarsi

Abstract:

The meaning of the term ‘sublime’ has gone through several phases of development since its first formulation. Its birth dates back to the ancient Greece, when the rhetorician and philosopher Longinus for the first time puts to words what the ‘sublime’ is: something elevated, exceptional and extra-ordinary. His Peri Hypsous presents sublimity as strictly connected to the realm of rhetoric, a realm to which it would be confined for ages until the intervention of the French philosopher Nicolas Boileau in the seventeenth century. Slowly but incessantly, as the writings from John Dennis, Joseph Add

Abstract:

Through the analysis of the prose of two nineteenth-century women writers: the English Mary Leman Grimstone and the Cuban-Spanish Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, the present dissertation aims at unveiling the relationship between women’s writings and the struggle for the recognition of women’s rights in two different geopolitical locations. To do so, it weaves a Feminist Planetary Web between each writer and her context, as well as among both writers, finding points of connection and disconnection. It shows how women appropriated the pen in different geographical locations, exposing a particula
