Abstract:

It is now twenty years since the publication of Jamie O’Neill’s At Swim, Two Boys (2001). O’Neill’s novel was not the first Irish novel to depict same-sex passion, and not even the first Irish gay novel of the post-decriminalisation period. However, it did attain a wider and higher level of recognition among mainstream Irish, and international, readers. This may have been at least partly due to O’Neill’s decision to write a historical romance – a genre which still retains its enduring appeal for readers. By adapting this genre, O’Neill uses fiction to unearth, and imaginatively recreate, an ar

Abstract:

The superman story has long been a staple of science fiction, combining wish-fulfillment fantasy with the scientific rationale of Darwinian evolution. Under the prodding of John W. Campbell, Jr., nearly every writer of the Golden Age produced at least one such story, and some, like A.E. Van Vogt, wrote little else. In a story that critiques the superman scenario, Philip K. Dick revealed the gender assumptions underlying both the literary and the scientific traditions. Dick’s “The Golden Man” (1954) takes off on themes developed in Van Vogt’s Slan (1940), Norvell Page’s “But Without Horns” (194

Abstract:

The misconception that males are the dominating sex puts pressure on them to live up to the roles and expectations that are placed upon them in order to fit in with society and become the perfect man. A lot of discrimination, marginalisation, and suppression of boys and men occurs as a result of the pressure from society to be the ideal sort. Since different people have distinct ideas about what masculinity entails, there are varying perceptions of what masculinity is. In contrast to masculinity, disability historically has been associated with helplessness, weakness, and dependency. A disable

Abstract:

My paper explores that how to understand and sympathize the sensibility of feminism, it is important to observe that Indian feminism presents altogether different picture sequences. Indian society has always been highly hierarchical. Men and women are no more seen through the old spectacle which marks men as superior and women as inferior. Chetan Bhagat is one of the most famous living novelists of India. He is a favourite of the youth and has many a time been crowned as an icon of them.  Chetan Bhagat’s writing is more feminine than masculine. He gives voice and shows his concerns

Abstract:

This paper aims at analyzing utopias and dystopias in Last and First Men (1930) by William Olaf Stapledon. Taking into consideration that this narrative was already defined as a scientific romance and an anatomy with allegorical status, as well as McCarthy's observation that Stapledon’s writing resists simple categorization and that its classification as science fiction or utopian literature is inadequate, this paper suggests several definitions for Stapledon’s work. The author also takes into account the ongoing dispute between utopian studies and science fiction scholars about the strong int

Abstract:

The New Man was a crucial topic of discussion and a continual preoccupation in late-Victorian feminist writing, precisely because he was more often a wished-for presence than an actual one. Nevertheless, creators of neo-Victorian fiction and film repeatedly project him backwards onto the screen of literary history, representing him as having in fact existed in the Victorian age as a complement to the New Woman. What is at stake in retrospectively situating the New Man – or, as I will call him, the ‘Neo-Man’ – in the nineteenth century, through historical fiction? If one impulse behind fictiona

When gender is brought into concerns about older people, the emphasis often lies on stereotypes connected to older women, and few comparative studies have been conducted pertaining to the representation of the intersection between older age and gender in fiction.

Abstract This paper will explore the representation of men’s aging experiences in contemporary U.S. fiction. While most gender-ed approaches to aging have focused on women, which has contributed to the cultural invisibility of older men, this study focuses on men’s aging experiences as men, thus challenging the inverse correlation between masculinity and aging. To do so, the study draws on a selected number of contemporary U.S. male-authored fictional works, which question the widely-held assumption that aging is a lesser concern for men, or that men and women’s aging experiences may be simply

Engaging with Raewyn Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity to analyse critically the protagonists of these authors allows a range of issues to emerge - namely the impact of fatherhood, the influence of the male peer group,

Hence, it is employed as a political metaphor representing the "hellish" life of exiled Palestinians. In this light, the metaphorical employment of the motif of the sun serves the protest message of Kanafani's postcolonial literature of resistance. It is part of a larger pr

The ideology finds support from younger men, as well as those engaged in science-fiction literature (Gangadharbatla, 2020; Koverola et al., 2022).

These texts were active components in the urban social worlds of the young men who produced them.

Accordingly, female writers of feminist speculative fiction, particularly from the 1970s onwards, have used this genre as an effective tool both to expose and to interrogate the oppressive

In terms of gender, the obscene enjoyment of the female smoker was exponentially more threatening in the prohibitionist's eyes than that of the male.

Hedges and boosters are two important sources of linguistic devices to express tentative evaluations and to mitigate solidarity with readers.

One relatively neglected aspect of gender-based studies of these linguistic devices is fiction. In this paper, we explored male and

Abstract:

The question of what men are and what they want has become central to public debates and private concerns but we cannot understand what is happening if we see it as a problem for men alone. It needs to be considered as part of a long process in which masculinity and femininity, sexual normality and abnormality, and the nature of intimate life are being profoundly shaken. The emergence of a crisis discourse around masculinity has served to obscure the different conditions under which men live their lives, and to exaggerate in turn the radical dichotomy of men and women.

Abstract:

This article aims to identify prevalent concerns and anxieties informing Berberova's works, whether designated as fiction, biography, fictionalized history, or autobiography; to observe what is hidden behind the public facade of the autobiographical self; and to determine how the fictional and the autobiographical are connected in the writer's narratives. Berberova's autobiography, as well as her fictional and biographical writings, provide a fertile ground for investigating the author's frame of reference from the point of view of her gender. A close look at the nature of autobiography, with
