Abstract:

This practice-led research contextualises and advances the novel as a form within the fiction of football (commonly referred to as soccer in Australia). This is a field which has undergone very little academic scrutiny. Through adapting and developing a distant reading model of abstraction and using it in conjunction with closer textual analyses, this research develops the first historiography of football fiction. The model is used to realise a set of broad conventions, map relationships across the body of work and identify growth areas. The thesis argues that football fiction exhibits qual

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the prevalence of religious themes in the work of several prominent contemporary women writers—Margaret Atwood, Michèle Roberts, Alice Walker and A.L. Kennedy. Relying on Luce Irigaray’s recent theorisations of the religious and its relationship to feminine subjectivity, this research considers the subversive potential of engaging with religious discourse through literature, and contributes to burgeoning criticism of feminist revisionary writing. The novels analysed in this thesis show, often in violent detail, that the way the religious dimension has been conceptuali

Abstract:

This thesis presents an analysis of Japanese modernist texts from the 1930s, with an emphasis on the writings of Takami Jun (1907-1965), Ishikawa Jun (1899-1987) and Dazai Osamu (1909-1948). Rather than discuss these experiments within the problematic of influence and see them as secondary gestures imitating the techniques of Gide or Joyce, I attempt to show that Japanese modernist fiction is deeply implicated in its cultural, political and technological moment. 1 begin with a mapping of the historical and discursive forces behind the so-called cultural revival (bungei fukko) and the revolt ag

Abstract:

This thesis examines Virginia Woolf's fiction in light of structuralist and psychoanalytic theories of the subject, with particular reference to the works of Barthes, Bakhtin, Lacan, Kristeva, and Cixous. The orientation of my reading 'bridges' the gap between biographical and text-centred approaches to her fiction. Woolfs novels as the trace of a practice in which the subject is set in a continuous process of enunciation, is constantly questioned, 'put on trial', 'put to death', in pursuit of the 'new': new articulation of the subject with the writing of each novel, experimentation with new m

Abstract:

This dissertation examines how writers helped scientists and engineers transform “efficiency” from a mathematical tool for assessing machine performance to an organizing principle for society. Historians and literary critics have helpfully sketched this transformation. They have paid particular attention to manifestations of Taylorism and Fordism in modernism, especially in the “kinetic” poetics of Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, and John Dos Passos. But while scholars have illustrated how modernism pushed efficiency into contexts like labor and politics, they have only begun to consid

Naomi Mitchison (1897-1999) was an accomplished Scottish author noted for her historical fiction. Her literary career was prolific and lengthy, moving through several phases. From the early 1930s through the 1960s, Mitchison wrote primarily Scottish works. Whether in setting, characterisation, or concern, her literature during these years was for the Scottish people. In this reader’s estimation, Mitchison’s greatest contribution to the Scottish literary world was her ability to write engaging story while constructively recreating strong national mythos and setting forth models of healthy,

ABSTRACT Speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) has steadily gained popularity both in culture and as a subject for study in college.

Teachers who have previously taught speculative fiction may also benefit from the selection of alternative texts presented here. This res

Abstract:

Language is a system that fundamentally influences us as human beings. There are numerous schools of thought critiquing our use of language and celebrating attempts to break free of the control it has over our lives. In that perspective a transformative play with language can be seen as critical play, and a game design approach supporting this kind of play can be defined as critical. The cut-up technique is an aleatory literary technique invented by the Dadaists in the 1920s. It was the fundamental lack of belief in society and language that gave birth to the cut-up method.

Abstract:

Dans ce travail de thèse, nous étudions les pratiques dialogales dans les classes de FLES au Liban. L’objectif est de caractériser le rapport existant entre les manifestations dialogales présentes, en amont, sous diverses formes (dialogue modèle, consignes…) dans un manuel de FLE et les phénomènes dialogaux observables, en aval, dans les classes de FLES qui les utilisent, en particulier lors des jeux de rôle mis en œuvre par les apprenants.La visée de cette recherche est d’étudier l’exploitation qui est faite du dialogue fictionnel du manuel à travers les interactions entre partenaires de la c

Abstract:

La présente étude analyse d'un côté et sous une perspective philosophique et anthropologique, la relation de l'artiste au réel. De l'autre, elle étudie la place ontologique et esthétique de l'acteur/du performer dans l'art documentaire contemporain. Puisque toute forme de documentation est soutenue par une définition du « réel » ainsi que par le problème de sa juste « saisie », il semble indispensable d’interroger la notion de « perception » et ceci sous ses aspects ethnographiques ainsi que physiologiques. Le positionnement contemporain qui se dessine apparaît donc comme « constructiviste »,

Abstract:

Through more than five years of extensive, participatory research the writer became a fully integrated member of the World of Warcraft community he set out to study. By actually living the grounded practices that constitute the everyday life he concludes that the mundane, often repetitive practice has very little to do with the cyber-utopian claim that one can flee the body and become who they want on the Internet. Instead this doctoral thesis argues that the constant transitions of the borders between offline and online, virtual and real, body and avatar, play and work, player and producer ar

Abstract:

Les cycles arthuriens en prose du XIIIe siècle (principalement la trilogie dite de Robert de Boron et le Cycle Vulgate ou Lancelot-Graal) sont des ensembles au statut singulier. Définis à la fois par l’autonomie et l’interconnexion des romans qui les constituent, ils se distinguent des romans en vers individualisés qui les précèdent et des proses amples mais plus homogènes qui les suivent. À leurs caractéristiques formelles s’ajoute le projet de construire des univers de fiction cohérents, susceptibles d’instaurer un canon arthurien définitif. La brièveté de la période de production (1200-1240

Abstract:

The core concern of my thesis is with shifting the focus from the description on how innovation is done (predominantly STS accounts of innovation in-the-making) to what designers do with conceptions of innovation. The thesis is based on ethnographic fieldwork within a group of interaction designers of Milan. Despite the different conceptions and traditions of innovation that these designers bring in – the artistic and technological ones – I observed that a design-centered conception of innovation is reproduced, as well as the idea that plans and intentions precede things. However, another key
