Abstract:
Recent psychoanalytic theories have the historicizing potential to rearticulate discourses relegated to the shadows of institutional and popular psychosocial knowledge. In particular, they can illuminate a shadow discourse secreted in the history of gender politics: a form of masochism that produces political solidarity by mobilizing narcissistic gratifications. Such solidarity derives from masochism's ability to idealize perceptions about collective power—a process legible in first-wave feminism and in the jingoistic imperialist ideals of masculinity that opposed it. This essay argues that feminism has lost sight of a nonsexual form of masochism vital to its own history that could energize its ongoing political projects. Recent relational psychoanalysis emerges as a fertile source for techniques of reading that produce revisionary historicist interpretation. Moreover, reactivating psychosocial dynamics obscured by the historical conflation of masochism with sexuality can reconnect feminism and other political movements with important strategies they may have prematurely disavowed.

Abstract:
Abstract This article examines Carter’s portrayal of the intersections of race, gender, and nationalism through imagery drawn from the nationalist tales Momotaro (Peach Boy) and through figuration of the lion and the unicorn in her writing during and after staying in Japan. Analyzing Miss Z and Fireworks, we argue that Carter’s depictions of fantastical creatures reveal a proto-intersectional awareness of complex power interconnections between race and gender, specifically in relation to ideas of whiteness and masochism. Like her contemporary Taeko Kono, Carter critiques men’s masochism and theorizes a type of feminine masochism. Carter grows in awareness of both racial politics (whiteness) and masochism in Japanese culture and attempts to grasp the “essence of the other’s otherness” therein. In doing so, she conceptualizes intersectional power relations of gender and race.

Fantina, Richard. "Machismo and masochism in Ernest Hemingway." FIU Digital Commons, 2001. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/3249.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis seeks to contribute to the body of knowledge in literary gender studies by probing the conflicting views of masculinity found in the work of Ernest Hemingway. The major texts, The Sun Also Rises (1926), A Farewell to Arms (1929), Death in the Afternoon (1932), For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940), and The Garden of Eden (1986), demonstrate a pattern which can be identified with elements often referred to as "androgynous." Masochism, as a core component of this "androgyny," will be isolated and explored. Drawing upon both psychoanalytical and literary commentators, this study locates Hemingway's work within a tradition of literary masochism. Recent scholars differ as to the potential social benefits of this tradition. Although Hemingway employs certain themes and devices associated with literary masochism, this study argues that one should not associate these with a progressive view of gender. Hemingway's commitment to a more traditional concept of masculinity outweighs the subversive, socio-sexual implications of his "androgyny."

Sato, Kanshi Hiroko. "Masochism and decadent literature : Jean Lorrain and Joséphin Péladan." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2009. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/1219/.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores the masochistic aspects of Decadent literature, which to date have been relatively neglected, or have received only sporadic attention as merely the passive forms of sadism, or sadomasochism (Mario Praz). As Jennifer Birkett suggests, Decadent sensibility and sexuality have arguably less affinity with Sade than Sacher-Masoch. Following Birkett, and utilising Gilles Deleuze’s idea of the independence of masochism from sadism and description of the distinctive aesthetic features of masochistic texts, I investigate masochistic formations in French Decadent texts; the work of Jean Lorrain and of Joséphin Péladan. This study also involves a review of relevant writings by Freud and post-Freudian psychoanalysts (Leo Bersani and Kaja Silverman); an engagement with current literary-critical scholarship in Decadence (Emily Apter, Charles Bernheimer, Bram Dijkstra and Rita Felski), and in Sacher-Masoch (Nick Mansfield, John K. Noyes, and Anita Phillips), and his influence on Decadent writers.

Full text
Abstract:
The introductory section of the thesis puts forward a view of the usefulness of the concept of masochism in studying literature, arguing that the tendency has been inadequately formulated by psychoanalytic theory. It refers to debates within gay studies, feminism, psychoanalysis and literary studies to contextualise the argument of the thesis. The first chapter analyses Freud's key essay on masochism, 'The Economic Problem of Masochism' (1924) and appraises other theoretical contributions which have discussed the relation of masochism to artistic creativity. It goes on to critique the feminist view of women's masochism as reflecting patriarchal relations, and examines Jungian perspectives which focus on the notion of an imitatio Christi. Chapter two contrasts a Christian view of suffering with that of psychoanalysis. It examines Simone Weil's life and ideas in the light of a sublimatory or moral masochism, and looks at the 'agonic' thought of Unamuno. The historical moment at which the term masochism was coined is the focus of the opening part of chapter three. Sacher-Masoch's novel Venus in Furs is analysed, referring to Deleuze's commentary which emphasises the death instinct. Sacher-Masoch's untranslated novel, Die Seelenfängerin, is also discussed. Chapter four deals with Michel Leiris's L'age d'homme, analysing the central themes of masculinity, the risk inherent in literary creativity and the sacred element in masochistic self-exposures. The final chapter on works by Marguerite Duras examines a novella, L'homme assis dans le couloir, describing the process of reading as a form of masochistic introjection. It then looks at La douleur to focus on a masochistic, feminine rite of passage. A discussion of La maladie de la mort locates a shattered solitude within masochistic desire. The thesis concludes by proposing a more nuanced dialogue between psychoanalysis and literature, by emphasising the importance of an exploratory women's writing, and suggesting the need for a more consciously masochistic body politic.

Straw, Mark Christopher. "The damaged male and the contemporary American war film : masochism, ethics, and spectatorship." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2011. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/1711/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is about the depiction of the damaged male in contemporary American war films in the period 1990 to 2010. All the films in this thesis deploy complex strategies but induce simple and readily accessible pleasures in order to mask, disavow or displace the operations of US imperialism. It is my argument that the premier emotive trope for emblematising and offering up the damaged male as spectacle and political tool is the American war film. I also argue that masochistic subjectivity (and spectatorship) is exploited in these films, sometimes through using it as a radical transformative tool in order to uncover the contradictions and abuses in US imperial power, but mostly through utilizing its distinct narrative and aesthetic qualities in order to make available to spectators the pleasures of consuming these images, and also to portray the damaged male as a seductive and desirable subjectivity to adopt. The contemporary war film offers up fantasies of imperilled male psychologies and then projects these traumatic (or “weak”/“victimised”) states into the white domestic and suburban space of the US. Accordingly this enables identification with the damaged male, and all his attendant narratives of dispossession, innocence, and victimhood, and then doubles and reinforces this identification by threatening the sanctity and security of the US homeland. My argument builds towards addressing ethical questions of spectatorial passivity and culpability that surround our engagement with global media, and mass visual culture in the context of war. I ultimately identify ethical spectatorship of contemporary war films as bolstering a neo-liberal project advancing the “turn to the self”, and hence audiences could unwittingly be engaged in shoring up white male ethno-centricity and the attendant forces of US cultural and geopolitical imperialism.

Full text
Abstract:

This essay examines the love affair between the two main characters of Rut Hillarp’s novel Sindhia. It draws attention to the schism between the Surrealist version of love as an extatic-religious fusion of the sexes – that in a way marks the relationship – and the yet remarkable coolness between the two lovers.

With the theories of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, I will show how the man and the woman project their unrealistic individual fantasies on each other, thus rendering impossible the Surrealist Meeting, with its road to an absolute reality. The Surrealist "l’amour fou", I will argue, is trapped in the ritualized "l’amor interruptus"; a lacanian term for a certain kind of love that wishes to conceal the fact that desire will never find its object. It does so by pretending that the object would be found if only love had been consummated (thus the reason love is never consummated, since, as Lacan puts it, the object, or the Thing, is never to be found).

I will, in brief, argue that the love affair depicted in the novel in different ways tries to deal with the “lack-of-being” that marks the subject according to Lacan; the absolute distance to the desirable Thing.

Abstract:
După o perioadă lungă de dominație a unui regim sadic, poporul basarabean a rămas să fie bântuit din generație în generație de fantoma trecutului tragic. Mulți dintre martorii oculari ai ororilor sovietice s-au stins, însă au transmis urmașilor niște realități și principii. Unii au rămas pentru decenii înainte să fie niște victime masochiste ale regimului sadic, alții au reușit să vadă din perspectiva adevărului realitățile cumplite care au avut loc în spațiul dintre Nistru și Prut. După destrămarea megasocietății sovietice, Republica Moldova s-a ciocnit cu nesfârșitele crize ale unui stat devenit independent pe neprins de veste. Astfel, cetățenii acestei țări tinere au fost nevoiți să se familiarizeze cu noțiunea de migrație. Lumea a reușit să găsească noi oportunități, doar că acestea au fost cunoscute departe de casă. Migrația și Occidentul au favorizat, în mare parte, dezvoltarea literaturii contemporane din Republica Moldova chiar dacă mulți dintre scriitori sunt stabiliți în alte țări. Experiența migrației a și scos din majoritatea lor starea latentă în care se afla talentul scriitoricesc. Noile experiențe adaugă teme și abordări originale, însă fantoma trecutului sovietic se strecoară ușor prin venele tuturor indivizilor ce-și au originea în Republica Moldova.
