Abstract:
This thesis examines the use of orality as a means to self-definition in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. The main contention of this thesis is that within the Vampire Chronicles orality defines the self through incorporation, and that the bodily incorporation of food through a sexual consumption leads the vampire to naturally evolve a sense of who he or she is at any given moment in time. It is in this manner that this article discusses how the body, sexuality, food, and the possession of financial capital define and limit the individual's notion of self.

Abstract:
This paper aims to make a comparison and investigation between three popular vampire fictions, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire and Stephanie Meyer’s The Twilight Saga in order to show a development of the vampire. During the investigation it has become clear that the vampire over a decade has become an object that writers continue to reinvent and humanize. Concepts of Self and Other are thus important terms in this paper in the attempt to analyze the reinvention and humanization of the vampire myth. In Stoker’s Dracula, the vampire will be discussed from an Easter

Abstract:
This thesis examines three diverse vampire narratives from around the 1990s, arguing that the liminal figure of the vampire, forever in between life and death, is also then well-positioned to queer norms around gender, sexuality, and relationships. This queering, however, manifests differently in each narrative. My analysis looks at each of these three narratives in turn, while also considering how each text’s placement as mainstream or not mainstream affected the manifestation of the vampires’ queering.

Through autoethnography, we connect the seen and the invisible, the known and the unknown, the understood and the unexplained, mystery and science.
