Abstract:

The original contribution of this thesis is an examination of how the concept of metanarrative can be used to illuminate shifts in popular thought in the Information Age. There is disagreement over what Information Age paradigms signify, and whether a metanarrative can exist. The postmodern dismissal of metanarrative requires re-examination in the face of understandings that have accompanied contemporary technological advancements. Information technology will be used in this study to explain the movement in globalised culture towards metanarrative understandings as technology is the most broad

Memorial do convento (1982), História do cerco de Lisboa (1989) e O homem duplicado (2002) são as obras de José Saramago (1922 - 2010) sobre as quais se debruça esta tese. Os romances pertencem a dois diferentes momentos da produção literária do autor, e a eleição deles se justifica pela tentativa, empreendida por este estudo, de estabelecer um panorama comparativo que permita analisar as diferenças e as semelhanças de recursos que compõem a retórica narrativa empregada por Saramago. A metanarratividade e as inserções dramáticas, exercitadas por um narrador todo poderoso e pluralizado, são obs

Abstract:

Making Myth Matter analyzes the influence of classical myths and their adaptations on cultural values and offers a prescription for how the adaptation process may be improved for cultural sensitivity. My concern is to address the troubling treatment and interpretation of acquaintance rape in three Greek myths: Cassandra, Persephone, and Philomela. I see the treatment of the rape in these myths' adaptations from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Timberlake Wertenbaker and Joanna Laurens as creating metanarratives that shame rape survivors and demean the violence of the rape act.

This dissertation examines the emergence of what I call the Transgender Metanarrative.

Abstract:

In advancing a critical examination of post-processualism, the thesis has – as its central aim – the repositioning of the Neolithic within contemporary archaeological theory. Whilst acknowledging the insights it brings to an understanding of the period, it is argued that the knowledge it produces is necessarily constrained by the emphasis it accords to the cultural. Thus, in terms of the transition, the symbolic reading of agriculture to construct a metanarrative of Mesolithic continuity is challenged through a consideration of the evidential base and the indications it gives for a correspondi

The theoretical framework of this study is intended to explore the potential Alain Badiou's theory of event, truth, and faithful subject may provide for understanding literature. This study applies this framework to John Ruskin's late and lesser-known work Fors Clavigera: Letters to the Workmen and Labourers of Great Britain (1871-1884). Both Ruskin's fragmented style in Fors Clavigera and his notion of historical truth developed therein have been read as madness and as reactionary romanticism.

Analysen tar upp två aspekter med fokus på innehåll och berättarteknik där verket visar prov på en postmodern idévärld. Först behandlas miman, och resonemang förs kring att hon och hennes produktion bör ses som en masskulturell företeelse snarare än som elitistisk diktkonst. Analysen anknyter till Baudrillards teori om hyperverklighet och simulacrum och visar på hur miman skapar detta med sin kulturproduktion. Här framstår två tolkningsalternativ: ett

The Appalachian studies tradition ascertains that Appalachian people politically, socially, and academically represent a heterogeneous minority group of our own.

Twenty-first-century Appalachian authors, I contend, are reinventing Appalachia from its postmodern rubble through fictionalized reconceptualizations of our region’s hi

By situating McEwan and Swift as postmodern writers who are strikingly intertextual, in the sense initially coined by Julia Kristeva, this study will show that both authors are deeply concerned with the violence of the twentieth and early twenty-first cen

Abstract:

Il s'agit d'un travail de réflexion théorique sur un des modes d'existence de la narration de fiction : la métanarration, et plus spécifiquement d'un sub-genre narratif : le "métaconte". A partir d'une perspective générale, on s'interesse aux notions de "narrativité", de "mise en abyme", de "contestation du récit" et de "narcissisme narratif", tel comme elles ont été étudiées par les théoriciens Paul Ricoeur, Lucien Dällenbach, Jean Ricardou et Linda Hutcheon, parmi d'autres. A travers les trois dernières notions, le théorie littéraire a tenté d'expliquer les mécanismes de fonctionnement d'un

Abstract:

In the second half of the twentieth century heated philosophical debates occurred about Modernity, based on doubts on the analysis, assessment and, consequently, perception of the social reality. The questionings covered the intrinsic or related fundaments of individual and collective human behavior, crucial issues for measuring social goals. Along such debates, a substantial change in the social forces occurred, with culture as their inducer and their expression, supported by technoscience. Amid the current debate on Modernity and Postmodernity, Terry Eagleton suggests that Postmodernity has

Abstract:

Metadieges i spel presenterar en ny term för hur dieges kan kategoriseras i spel. En granskning har gjorts av modeller som tidigare använt begreppet dieges varpå en lucka har upptäckts. De tidigare modellerna kategoriserar inte ljud i metanarrativ när det finns två narrativa lager. För att undersöka metadiegetiska ljud görs en kvalitativ studie med en artefakt av fyra nivåer som utsätter testdeltagare för metadiegetiska händelser. I testet undersöks det om ett metanarrativ kan förmedlas till spelaren med nästan bara ljud. Resultatet visar på att metadiegetiskt ljud inte räcker till för att spe

Abstract:

Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam Trilogy has received substantial critical attention inthe fields of ecocriticism, the ethics of bioengineering, and feminist theory. However, the vast majority of this criticism has focussed on Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood, the first two books in the trilogy. By displacing human narrators in MaddAddam, the third and final book, Atwood re-contextualises the entire trilogy asno longer being a meticulously researched speculative fiction, and instead a type of fable, along the lines of Jean-François Lyotard’s “A Postmodern Fable.” Through this shift, Atwood

Abstract:

The question I address is: how might a theology of authority be conceived in the light of questions raised by what is termed 'post-modernity'? Is it possible to articulate a theology of authority coming to the church community 'from God' that avoids an oppressive and alienating heteronomy? The thesis explores the question of authority as of vital importance in the sociological dimension of religion, calling for legitimisation (in light of claims made for itself) and as obligatory in the theological sphere. For this reason the project involves two methodologies (theological and sociological/eth

This thesis inquires into possibilities for young children‘s active citizenship as provoked through a practice of social justice storytelling with one Preparatory1 class of children aged five to six years. The inquiry was practitioner-research, through a living educational theory approach cultivating an interrelational view of existing with others in evolving processes of creation. Ideas of young children‘s active citizenship were provoked and explored through storytelling, by a storytelling teacher-researcher, a Prep class of children and their teacher.

Abstract:

“Why is there not an adequate and efficient answer to climate change?” is a question that has been haunting millions of people around the world for the last decades, and that is growingly being made by all publics. Despite the scientific consensus on climate change, the necessary measures to deter this phenomenon are still far from the speed and range necessary to effectively address it (when there are any measures at all). Metanarratives are the grand histories that humankind tells itself to guide its practices and actions. They either work towards solving this civilisational crisis or to sto

Abstract:

The potency of memoirs to shape collective memory makes it important to seek a critical understanding of their political and historical functions. Memoirs offer insights into the character, motives, and influence of political leaders, yet many scholars question this genre's ability to produce accurate history, insightful political analysis, or literature of merit. However, to the extent that memoirs contribute to our knowledge and understanding of the past they deserve closer study. Memoirs mediate remembrance of the recent past by functioning primarily in the interval between contemporary pol
