Abstract:
The aim of this dissertation is to study postmodern historical novels, which are labeled &ldquo<br>historiographic metafictions&rdquo<br>(Hutcheon 1989: 92), in terms of their allowing for different voices and alternative, plural histories by subverting the historical documents and events that they refer to. The study analyzes texts from feminist and postcolonial literature, Jeanette Winterson&rsquo<br>s The Passion and Sexing the Cherry, and Salman Rushdie&rsquo<br>s Midnight&rsquo<br>s Children and Shame as examples in which the transgression of boundaries between fact and fiction is achieve

Nous définissons l'hybridation littéraire comme la combinaison d'éléments a priori disparates aboutissant à la création d'un ensemble à la fois un et multiple, qui garde les traces de ses parties constitutives tout en étant autre, différent, nouveau. L'hybride englobe les sphères de représentation de ses éléments-parents tout en les dépassant. Par conséquent, l'hybridation tend vers l'extension de toutes les frontières, littéraires et culturelles, dans le but de nous offrir une vision du monde et du sujet toujours plus complète.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to explore the categories of sexuality and gender through an analysis of Jeanette Winterson&rsquo<br>s well-known novels, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit and Written on the body, against the background of Butler&rsquo<br>s concept of performativity and Cixous&rsquo<br>s &eacute<br>criture feminine. By underlining the constructedness of these categories and questioning the boundaries of patriarchal concepts and transgressing them, Winterson deconstructs the binary oppositions created by phallocentric discourse and problematizes the verdict that sexuality is inborn.

Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the use of parody in Jeanette Winterson&rsquo<br>s Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit and Boating for Beginners. Winterson uses parody as a means to re-contextualise and re-interpret the Biblical material in a playful manner in these two novels. Moreover, parody becomes a means for her to revise certain other texts and discourses. Due to these parodic references to other texts and discourses, the novels have an intertextual structure and they are open to a variety of interpretations instead of releasing a single meaning.

Abstract:
As many theorists have pointed out, queer history is often erased within traditional, heteronormative historiography. Consequently, historians cannot recount the gay and lesbian past by conventional techniques of evidence and documentation. Instead they recuperate and reinvent queer history using strategies normally associated with the writing of fiction. This thesis examines three works of late twentieth century lesbian historical fiction that rewrite the past in order to render visible queer intimacy, sexuality, and desire.

Abstract:
Ungdomar spenderar mycket tid i skolan där de ingår i olika sociala sammanhang. I dessa speciella kontexter har det länge existerat normer för vad som anses vara rätt och fel beteende, utifrån både grupp- och könstillhörighet. Hur lärare och övrig skolpersonal väljer att synliggöra och diskutera dessa normer har betydelse för hur öppna och accepterande ungdomar är gentemot dem som anses avvika från normen. Utifrån ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv och med hjälp av Jeanette Wintersons debutroman Det finns annan frukt än apelsiner (1985) syftar denna text till att lyfta fram hur lärare kan undervis

Abstract:
This fictocritical novel and its critical introduction are specifically concerned with the self and creative space, focusing in particular on detailed readings of Virginia Woolf (1882 - 1941) and Jeanette Winterson (1959 -). In so doing, it explores the presence of a creative space between reality and reverie. The nature of this 'space between' is examined creatively from psychoanalytical and. feminist perspectives. Focusing on the nature of creative space offers a reading of these authors and their work, whilst also providing an original and important response to the relatively unexplored con

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the subversion of Biblical discourse in Jeanette Winterson’s first two novels, Oranges are Not the Only Fruit and Boating for Beginners. By rewriting Biblical stories Winterson challenges traditional Western religious discourses and their rules for heteronormative social and sexual behaviours and desires. Winterson’s texts respond to the patriarchal nature of socially pervasive texts, such as the Bible, by encouraging her readers to regard these texts with suspicion, thus highlighting what can be seen as a ‘postmodern concern’ with the notion of ‘truth’.

Abstract:
This thesis utilizes Foucault’s concept of “technologies of the self” to examine three texts from 1980s British literature for the ways that postmodern writers compose the self. The first chapter “Liminality and the Art of Self-Composition” explores the ways in which liminal space and time contributes to the self-composition in J.L. Carr’s hybrid Victorian/postmodern novel A Month in the Country (1980). The chapter on Jeanette Winterson’s novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985) titled “Intertextuality and the Art of Self-Composition” argues that Winterson’s intertextual play enables her pr

Abstract:
À l’aube du XXIe siècle, la fiction britannique se trouve aux prises avec des représentations conflictuelles du voir. Inscrite dans le contexte du « tournant visuel », elle rend compte de la place prépondérante que les technologies et médias visuels occupent dans l’espace culturel. Dans le même temps, elle entre en dialogue avec un discours anxieux, qui met en avant l’idée d’une crise du visuel. Privilégié pendant des siècles comme le plus intellectuel et le plus noble des sens, le voir semble devenu l’un des lieux où s’orchestrent la manipulation et le contrôle des citoyens, surveillés et exp

Abstract:
Ce travail traite de la figure de l'androgyne dans la littérature britannique contemporaine, à travers un corpus de cinq œuvres de la seconde moitié du 20ème siècle : les romans de Brigid Brophy, In Transit, d'Angela Carter, The Passion of New Eve, de Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body, de Peter Ackroyd, Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem et de Will Self, Cock and Bull. La première partie examine la valeur plastique de l'androgyne qui agit dans les textes comme opérateur de métamorphoses et balise un terrain textuel de l'instabilité et de la réversibilité, permettant de penser les opposés d
