Abstract:
This article explores the hemispheric and transatlantic uses of race and empire as tropes of settler-colonial otherness in the novelThe Canadian Brothers(1840) by Canadian author John Richardson. In this pre-Confederation historical novel, Richardson contrasts the imperial British discourse of racial tolerance, and the British military alliances with the Natives in the War of 1812, with the brutality of American Indian policies south of the border, in an effort to craft a narrative of Canadian difference from, and incompatibility with, American culture. At the same time, the author's critical attitude towards all European military and commercial interventions in the New World illuminates the rootedness of both American and Canadian settler colonialisms in British imperialism, and exposes the arbitrariness and constructedness of the political boundaries dividing the continent.

Abstract:
That Jewish literature in North America is an altogether secular venue has long been regarded as a truism among many influential literary scholars. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the fiction of Jewish immigrants and their progeny wrote its way into American and Canadian culture through narratives that captured the process of acculturation by distancing itself from Jewish traditional practices, construed mockingly or nostalgically as relics of a European life left behind, a wellspring of historical or textual memories that oppress or elevate. The few departures from this trend—fiction that represents Judaic ritual and experience sympathetically, with complexity and depth—are exceptions that prove the rule: Chaim Potok’s novels, for example, beginning in the late 1960s and continuing through the close of the twentieth century, and a handful of women novelists negotiating Jewish feminism in stories and novels of the 1980s and 1990s.

Abstract:
O presente artigo busca analisar as reações e comentários de seguidores de páginas e canais oficiais da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia nas redes sociais sobre a produção de conteúdos de ficção audiovisual na plataforma de streaming Feliz7play. Para tanto, o artigo elabora um panorama socio-teológico da relação conflituosa entre o adventismo e a ficção audiovisual, seguida de uma breve descrição do uso de ficção audiovisual pelos adventistas no contexto estadunidense e latino-americano e, por fim, propõe uma análise netnográfica da reação dos adventistas às obras de ficção audiovisual na plataforma Feliz7Play através das páginas oficiais da denominação nas redes sociais. Conclui-se que os problemas teológicos que a cultura adventista considera que a ficção audiovisual possui são uma projeção da crítica que o discurso fundador elaborou sobre a ficção na literatura e no teatro que, por sua vez, repercute na produção de conteúdo ficcional adventista na atualidade.Abstract: This article seeks to analyze the reactions and comments of followers of official Seventh-day Adventist Church pages on social networks about the production of audiovisual fiction content on the Feliz7play streaming platform. To this end, the article elaborates a socio-theological overview of the conflicting relationship between Adventism and audiovisual fiction, followed by a brief description of the use of audiovisual fiction by Adventists in the North American and Latin American context and, finally, proposes a Netnographic analysis of Adventists’ reaction to audiovisual fiction productions on the Feliz7Play platform through the Adventist official pages on social networks. It is concluded that the theological problems that Adventist culture considers audiovisual fiction to have are a projection of the criticism that the founding discourse elaborated on fiction in literature and theater, which, in turn, has an strong impact on the production of fictional Adventist content today.

Luna Sellés, Carmen. "Moronga, by Horacio Castellanos Moya, and the Divergence of Latin American Noir." Forum for Modern Language Studies 56, no. 3 (July 1, 2020): 347–63. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/fmls/cqaa022.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Taking Moronga (2018), by Salvadorian author Horacio Castellanos Moya, as a point of departure, this article focuses on the reinterpretation of mainstream crime fiction in Latin American terms. This new approach is made from both formal and thematic perspectives. Moronga is structurally fragmented; the traditional detective figure has disappeared, and the plot does not revolve around a single crime but denounces a society at large which is characterized by paranoid surveillance. The reinterpretation of the crime fiction genre in Latin American terms has opened up two different strands of noir: firstly, the so-called ‘post-neopolicial’ where crime is a mere backdrop to formal experimentation, and secondly, what Ricardo Piglia refers to as ‘ficción paranoica’ [paranoiac fiction]. Moronga is a good example of both these strands, making it an appropriate case study to analyse the ways in which Hispanic literature deviates from classic Anglophone crime fiction (particularly the North American hardboiled tradition).

Pearson, Laura Anne. "Humanimals and transculturalism in contemporary North American graphic fiction." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/16196/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is situated at the intersection of animal, comics, and cultural studies, a wide area of investigation in which graphic fiction has rarely interacted with the different theoretical and cultural paradigms that inform animal-human relationships of both the present and the past. Comics and graphic novels are probably as popular as they have ever been, and are being put to distinctive uses in our increasingly visual age. The funny animal and the beast fable are often cited as historical precursors to the “humanimal” hybrids we find in contemporary print and web-based versions of the sequential arts. However, animal genres and practices are not consistent or universal. Talking animals still tend, as they have always done, to draw the charge of anthropomorphism. But they continue to function as effective metaphors for cultural pluralism and treatments of otherness, increasingly in a broader ecological (multispecies) context. This thesis focuses on eight contemporary North American graphic fictions that present readers with linked representations of humanimals and transculturalism. These texts—mostly from Canada, but also the US—use graphic forms to encourage a rethinking of asymmetrical discourses of humanity and animality in the increasingly transcultural context of North America today.

Casero, Eric E. "Mind Against Matter: Isolating Consciousness in American Fiction, 1980-2010." UKnowledge, 2016. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/english_etds/38.

Full text
Abstract:
Mind Against Matter uses cognitive literary theory to explore a set of contemporary texts that emphasize characters’ feelings of alienation and isolation from their social and material worlds. Focusing on novels by Nicholson Baker and David Markson, short stories by David Foster Wallace, and the film The Truman Show, I consider how these texts focus on characters’ individual, subjective experiences while deemphasizing their physical environments and social contexts. I argue that by privileging subjectivity in this way, these texts portray their characters as independent, to varying degrees, from their material and cultural surroundings. The texts isolate individual consciousness, causing their characters to live in mental worlds of their own making. While the novel, as a genre, often depicts alienation as a condition deriving from a character’s status as a social outcast, the texts featured in this study treat it as a condition inherent to consciousness, derived from what their creators envision as an inevitable separation of mind from world. Rather than bemoan alienation as a loss of social connectedness, these texts portray it as inherent to mental life. The chapters of this dissertation explore the particular visions of alienation that emerge in each of these texts. In a chapter on Nicholson Baker’s The Mezzanine, I argue that Howie, the novel’s protagonist, views his mind as a machine that operates according to self-sufficient, automatic processes. My analysis of David Markson’s final novels demonstrates that Markson portrays artistic creation as a process through which individual consciousness is isolated from society. David Foster Wallace’s Oblivion treats alienation as a general human condition, as Wallace’s interests in loneliness and solipsism derive, I argue, from his assumptions about the individualized nature of consciousness. Finally, in a chapter on The Truman Show, I argue that the film’s sense of paranoia stems from its protagonist’s sense of being alone in his worldview. I thus present a corpus of works that maintain a close, limited focus on singular fictional minds, shutting out social and physical environments in order to depict the mind as a cloistered, self-enclosed entity. My analysis highlights the ways in which the philosophical underpinnings of these narratives render consciousness as an isolating force, stranding fictional characters on mental islands of their own making.

Resumo: O horror ficcional é uma das constantes na produção cultural do século XX, como um reflexo que acompanha o horror político. Esse horror culturalmente produzido, que é estético, podemos vislumbrar em vasta produção da indústria cultural ¿ que cobre as mais diversas mídias e formas de representação ¿, tendo seu momento inicial na ficção fantástica dos séculos XVIII-XIX. Na década de 1920-30, o escritor norte-americano Howard Phillips Lovecraft retomaria essa tradição do fantástico, acrescentando novos significados, formas, usos e estratégias. Neste trabalho, nossa meta foi realizar um panorama da ficção de horror abordando analiticamente elementos das narrativas de seu criador, H. P. Lovecraft
Abstract: An persistent principle in the contemporary cultural productions, as a reflection and a shadow of certains aspects of the reality, are the fictional horror. These horror, a cultural product as well, esthetical in its essence, can be discerned at wide areas of mass culture ¿ including several medias and representations ¿ and its start point are the fantastic fictions on the 18-19th centuries. Howard Phillips Lovecraft, in the first decades of the 20th century, retrivied this tradiction of the fantastic fictions, adding new meanings, forms, usages and strategies. In our work, the goal are made something like a panorama of the horror fiction through the analisys of H. P. Lovecraft fiction key-elements
