Abstract:

A study of Octavia Butler has long been overdue. My aim is to rectify the paucity of critical commentary on her work, and to take into consideration the specificity of the African American woman. Examining how Butler's fiction interrogates the dual narratives of oppression that are an integral feature of black women's lives, I focus on six areas of Butler's fiction. Butler uses the conventions of science fiction to interrogate religious and secular mythologies that aim to limit and circumscribe the black woman; I explore how she amalgamates science fiction with other narrative modes such as fa

Abstract:

This thesis uses the observations of Nancy J. Peterson on historical wounds as a springboard to discuss Octavia Butler’s novel Kindred and its use of both white and black characters to reexamine the origins of the historical wounds and why they are so difficult to deal with even today. Other scholarly works will be used to further investigate the importance of each character in the story and what they mean to the wound itself. Specifically, Dana is analyzed alongside the other main characters: Rufus, Alice, and Kevin. Though Dana’s relationships with these characters, Kindred’s version of the

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the roles of memory and identity in Octavia E. Butler’s novels: Kindred, Lilith’s Brood, Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents, and Fledgling. By using material from such diverse disciplines as philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and sociology, I have treated the characters in Butler’s novels as individual selves; selves narrated by a living Butler. In current identity studies, the thought is that the self is constructed through narrative; therefore, what better way to analyze individual characters and communities than through the narrative provided by Butler.

Abstract:

In this thesis project, the aim is to explore displacements beyond the familiar usage in migration studies associated with ’human’ by using a new materialist/s understanding ofontology and agency. This approach opens the possibility to move beyond the understanding of displacements as referring only to human agency. The fictionalised story, Parable of theSower, is used in the thesis as the real-world ontological world-building storytelling and the questions that flow from the aim of this thesis is used as a guiding navigator within the mainstory to see what other stories emerges; The Earthseed
