Abstract:
Stephenie Meyers’ Twilight tetralogy has lately become an enormously successful phenomenon in contemporary popular fiction, especially among a young adult readership. Regarded as a mixture of genres, the Twilight series can be described as a paradigm of contemporary popularculture gothic romance. Stephenie Meyer has recently acknowledged she bore one literary classic in mind when writing each of the volumes in the series. In particular, her third book, Eclipse (2007), is loosely based on Emily Brontë’s Victorian classic Wuthering Heights (1847). This paper aims at providing a comparative analysis of both Brontë’s novel and Meyer’s adaptation, taking into consideration the way the protofeminist discourse that underlines Brontë’s text is not only subverted but also acquires significantly reactionary undertones in Meyer’s popular romance despite its contemporariness.

Abstract:
The paper examines the celebration of the feminine self in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight through the character- Bella. While most of women’s writings carry a feminist voice asserting women’s individuality, the writers of Gothic romances concentrate more on the celebration of the feminine self rather than challenging the binaries of gender. Stephenie Meyer, by putting her heroine Bella into a traditional feminine frame provides her full scope to exercise her freedom to choose even while carrying out the prescribed feminine roles. Through the analysis of the character, there will be an attempt to demonstrate that while enjoying one’s inequality how one can prove the uniqueness of one’s individuality.

Abstract:
The article presents an analysis of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight novels as modern literary fairy-tales. To this end, the discussion will refer to structuralist critics, and identify “narrative functions” from folktales (stock images and episodes, stock character functions, characteristic sequences of episodes), used by Meyer in her vampire novels. As it turns out, Meyer modified folklore material to sustain a long and variously themed narrative: by embedding numerous subplots, by rearranging functions between characters, and creating composite and collective characters that combine contradictory functions. The author transformed several folktales into a series of four novels about coming of age in the twenty-first-century United States. A detailed analysis of Meyer’s modifications of the folktale partially corroborates the feminist critique of Meyer’s representation of the protagonists as reinforced versions of cultural stereotypes and gender roles. However, some transformations, especially Meyer’s assignment of the hero-function to the female protagonist Bella, seem to suggest just the opposite, thus leading to the conclusion that the Twilight novels reflect the confusion caused by contradictory role-models and aspirations, the confusion that seems to be inherent in a coming-of-age novel.

Abstract:
W artykule omówiono koncepcję „podpisu w komórce” rozwijaną w ramach teorii inteligentnego projektu przez Stephena C. Meyera. Meyer argumentuje, że jedynym adekwatnym wyjaśnieniem pochodzenia informacji genetycznej jest działanie przyczyny inteligentnej. Tym samym łamie obecnie podstawową zasadę nauk przyrodniczych — zasadę naturalizmu metodologicznego nakazującą szukanie wyjaśnień zjawisk przyrodniczych wyłącznie w naturalnym funkcjonowaniu świata. Meyer za podstawową regułę wyjaśniania w naukach przyrodniczych przyjął natomiast spełnienie kryterium adekwatności przyczynowej. W ten sposób stara się wprowadzić swoją koncepcję w krąg dopuszczalnych w nauce wyjaśnień. Operacja ta wiąże się jednak z głęboką zmianą podstaw filozoficznych nauki.

Abstract:
Men and women are created equal, and they are perfected by His creator by being given the rights inherent in him, the right to life, freedom, and the achievement of happiness. Therefore, the writer in this paper wants to look at figures who have a feminist perspective in the Twilight novel by Stephenie Meyer. Women with all the dynamics that oppose the material and source of inspiration that will never end. Woman is a figure that has two very opposite sides. On one side of a woman is a very charming beauty. However, on the other hand, women are often considered weak. In this connection, the problem that will be discussed in this paper is how to describe the perspective of the feminism of the characters in the novel by Stephenie Meyer. This paper is examined using descriptive-textual method and sociology literature approach.AbstrakLaki-laki maupun perempuan diciptakan sederajat, dan mereka disempurnakan oleh pencipta-Nya dengan diberi hak-hak yang melekat dalam dirinya, hak untuk hidup, kebebasan, dan pencapaian kebahagiaan. Oleh karena itu, penulis dalam makalah kali ini ingin menilik tokoh-tokoh yang berperspektif feminisme dalam novel Twilight karya Stephenie Meyer. Wanita dengan segala dinamika yang ada padanya seolah menjadi bahan dan sumber inspirasi yang tidak akan pernah ada habisnya. Wanita adalah sosok yang mempunyai dua sisi yang sangat berlawanan. Di satu sisi wanita adalah keindahan yang begitu sangat memesona,. Namun, di sisi yang lain, wanita sering dianggap lemah. Berdasarkan itulah, masalah yang akan dibahas dalam makalah ini adalah bagaimanakah gambaran perspektif feminisme tokoh-tokoh dalam novel karya Stephenie Meyer. Makalah ini dikaji menggunakan metode deskriptif-tekstual dan pendekatan sosiologi sastra.

Abstract:
Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series (2005–8) demonstrates a strong connection with the theology, cultural practices and history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), of which Meyer is an active member. One of the strongest ways in which this connection is demonstrated is through characterisation: specifically, by featuring vampires and werewolves as prominent supernatural characters in the text. Twilight employs vampires as a metaphor for the LDS Church. By eschewing literature's traditional association of vampires with subversive acts, especially subversive sexuality, and rewriting them as clean-cut pillars of the community, Twilight not only charts but promotes the progression of Latter-day Saints from nineteenth century social pariahs to modern day exemplars of conservative American family values. The series represents its Native American shapeshifting werewolves as an ancient group of people from LDS scriptural history called Lamanites, who were cursed by God with ‘a skin of blackness’ for their ‘iniquity’ (Book of Mormon, 2 Nephi 5:21). The construction of the werewolves as impoverished and socially marginalised yet with strong family ties enables the treatment of race in Twilight to move beyond a standard white/non-white binary frame to engage at a deeper level with LDS stereotyping of Native American people.

Abstract:
One task of school is to counteract traditional gender patterns. Literature is an actor which can affect people’s perceptions of what is feminine and what is masculine. It can therefore be worth looking at the works of fiction that are available for pupils in school. A book that is popular among children and adolescents is Twilight (2007). The aim of this essay is to see how the characters Bella and Edward in Twilight are portrayed in relation to traditional and norm-breaking gender patterns. Earlier research on gender in children’s literature and earlier studies of Twilight have been used as a foundation for the analysis. The method applied in the study is character analysis with the focus on genre theory. The analysis shows that Bella is depicted as a vulnerable but brave girl, while Edward is portrayed as an emotional but strong boy. It is possible to find both traditional and norm-breaking gender patterns in the book.

Abstract:
Denna uppsats ämnar att analysera genderswap tekniken i Stephenie Meyers bok Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined ur ett genusperspektiv. Uppsatsen förhåller sig till Lena Gemzöes bok Feminism där genusproblematiker diskuteras. Uppsatsen avser att jämföra Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined med original boken Twilight för att undersöka om det finns könsskillnader mellan huvudkaraktärerna Bella och Beau och hur genderswap påverkar detta. Analysen visar att via genderswap lyckas man framhäva skillnaderna mellan Bella och Beau i förhållande till våld, familjesfären och manliga privilegier. Via ett genderswap visar Meyer på hur den kvinnliga stereotypen fortfarande präglar Bella som kvinnlig karaktär och hur Beau som Bellas respektive manliga version framhäver existerande problematiker inom berättelsen. Jag argumenterar att analysen om genderswap driver till diskussion om hur könsroller gestaltas i Meyers två böcker och skapar utrymme för vidare diskussion inom ämnet.

Abstract:
This paper examines in what way the heterosexual matrix is challenged by Stephenie Meyer in Breaking dawn (Så länge vi båda andas). By doing a thematic study on the various family constellations appearing in the novel, I search for the queer elements in it. I discuss incest, family building and motherhood, and find that there are numerous queer elements associated with the themes I have chosen. I conclude that the Cullen family challenges the heterosexual matrix, despite not being typical queer vampire characters. I also find that building a successful family is not based on gender or constellation otherwise, but is instead dependant on democracy and equality. Bella has a desire to taste the blood of both her daughter and her father, interpreted as an incestuous desire. I find similarities between Bella’s extreme motherhood behaviors and how drag show artists parody gender.
Denna uppsats undersöker på vilka sätt Stephenie Meyer utmanar den heterosexuella matrisen i Så länge vi båda andas. Genom att göra en queerteoretisk temastudie utifrån temat familj undersöker jag de queera elementen i texten. Jag behandlar incest, familjebildning och moderskap och kommer fram till att det finns många queera inslag i mina valda teman. I min analys drar jag slutsatsen att familjen Cullen, trots att de inte är klassiska queera vampyrkaraktärer ändå utmanar den heterosexuella matrisen. Jag kommer även fram till att framgången i en familjebildning inte ligger i kön, eller konstruktion, utan i demokrati och jämställdhet. När Bella åtrår sin faders och dotterns blod tolkar jag detta i sin kontext som ett incestuöst begär. Jag jämför extremismen i Bellas moderskap med hur dragshowartisten parodierar genus.

Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Institutionen för kultur och estetik, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-144743.

Full text
Abstract:
Uppsatsen undersöker Twilight, skriven av Stephenie Meyer, utifrån de intersektionella kategorierna ålder, kön och klass i förhållande till relationen mellan protagonisterna Bella och Edward. Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på hur ålder, kön och klass påverkar relationen. Vidare syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka hur ålder, kön och klass påverkar maktförhållandet i relationen utifrån Foucaults maktteori. Resultatet visar att ålder, kön och klass genomgående i Twilight försätter Bella i en underordnad maktposition, med några få undantag. Många normer gällande de tre kategorierna reproduceras i relationen mellan Bella och Edward, vilket i sin tur ger upphov till en maktobalans. Med anledning av detta resultat bör Twilight läsas kritiskt ur ett intersektionellt perspektiv, men kan med fördel användas i klassammanhang för att belysa och ifrågasätta normer rörande t. ex. ålder, kön och klass.

Abstract:
Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series has reached huge popularity among young adults and as a futureteacher I am concerned about what kind of a message these books send to teenagers. In this essay I arguethat the main character of the book, Edward Cullen, shows signs of an abusive personality and that thesesigns have been romanticized and idealized by the author. I also argue that the fans of Twilight haveromanticized Edward's behavior. I accomplish this by a close reading of the series and other relevantliterature. Edward has the following signs that an abusive person has: jealousy, controlling behavior,quick involvement, isolation, sudden mood changes, threats of violence and force during an argument.These signs the author has romanticized with the imagery that can be found in the books. Also, Meyerportrays Edward as better than everyone else and by doing so she idealizes his character. Edward'sabusive behavior has been interpreted as actions of true love by fans making these patterns of abusivebehavior seem romantic.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this essay was to compare the classic vampire narrative, Bram Stoker's Dracula, to a more contemporary vampire narrative using the first book, Twilight, in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series as a prime example.  By looking at the world of the vampire, the figure of the vampire and the interaction between the vampire and the main female characters in each respective story, the goal was to see how much the vampire narrative has evolved.  The argument was that the movement from Dracula to Twilight was from an archetypical, terrifying vampire to a more modern, sexually alluring and romantic vampire, where several aspects of terror have been removed.  What has been shown is that there are many aspects that have changed once terror is not the focal point. In addition, this essay also argued that in a classroom setting one could use a modern vampire narrative, such as Twilight, to activate pupils’ interest in vampires which would naturally segue into meaningful discussions, comparisons and analyses of the prototypical vampire narrative found in Dracula. As a result, this activity would also encourage students to read literature and explore new worlds

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines virginity as a social construct, contextualizes the relevance of first sex for contemporary youth, and presents a model for reading themes of virginity and first sex in popular media. Through discursive analysis, the central sections of this thesis – Virginity, Femininity, and Masculinity – analyze themes of sexual abstinence across the four books of the Twilight series. Examining contemporary and historical contexts placing gendered value on virginity and virginity loss, this project suggests that virginity narratives reflect whose bodies are considered to be valuable in society and for what purpose. The conclusion argues that virginity narratives are fundamentally colonial narratives, requiring the fantasy of unclaimed spaces, conquerors, and those to be conquered.

Abstract:
Supernatural shows by their nature often incorporate themes such as survival, community, revenge, resurrection, and (the dark side of) humanity -- themes which take on a new meaning in the post-9/11 period. Chapter Six analyzes how these are incorporated into 21st century vampire narratives, such as HBO's True Blood (2008-2014), CW's The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017), and the film adaptations of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012). Through a recurrent focus on "us versus them," these storylines bring attention to the cultural divides within the United States caused by things such as continued racial conflict, progress in the LGBTQA rights movement, and ongoing (religious and political) debates concerning family values. This essay also analyzes the ways in which the Civil War backstories present within each of these narratives reflect problematic nostalgia for bygone eras (and societal orders).

Full text
Abstract:
This essay first moves rapidly through arguments about the end of feminism to refute optimistic blinkered versions, arguing that postfeminist Gothic consistently problematises complacencies about rights, cultures and bodies. Instead it offers flexible notions of ‘becoming’ woman, gives voice and body to the Other and radicalises representations of gender and gender-based identities, particularly in relation to (the horror of) heteronormativity (Halberstam 2007). Postfeminist Gothic emphasises contestation, through the haunting, continuation and morphing of familiar Gothic concerns and the figures which articulate them, including vampires, werewolves, zombies, serial killers and mermaids. It focuses on Sarah Waters’s The Little Stranger (2009) and The Paying Guests (2014); Angela Carter’s ‘The Loves of Lady Purple’ (1974); Nalo Hopkinson’s ‘The Glass Bottle Trick’ (2000); and variants of postfeminist Gothic in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series (2005–8; 2008–12) and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2003). These postfeminist Gothic texts further arguments on Otherising, bodies, history and cultures in post-industrial society.

Full text
Abstract:
The Gothic emerged in the eighteenth century as a potent literary critique of modern Western forms of law. At the same time as the law itself the Gothic began to take shape and rapidly diversify in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This chapter suggests that Gothic writing by women in particular interrogates the ontological instability and physical vulnerability of the female subject before the law and that it does so through repeated evocations, in various historical and cultural contexts, of the relationship between law, sacrifice, trauma and shame. Points of continuity between older modes of Female Gothic and its more contemporary manifestations are identified through analyses of novels by Sophia Lee, Ann Radcliffe and Eliza Parsons followed by an examination of female-authored vampire fictions by Stephenie Meyer and Charlaine Harris. Drawing on Juliet MacCannell’s work, the chapter argues that these diverse narratives articulate the trauma and shame of female subjects constructed in and through the law as sacrificial objects of exchange between ‘brothers’. Contemporary female Gothic fictions, it concludes, expose the trauma and shame of the law itself as its ontological coherence begins to disintegrate under the conditions of late-modernity.
