Shame And Its Other Family Members In Philip Roth's Sabbath's Theater And Everyman And Pierre Lemaitre's Au Revoir Là-Haut, Shahrzad Izadpanah
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis is going to provide a comparative study of three novels: Sabbath’s Theater (1995) and Everyman(2006) by Philip Roth and Au revoir là-haut(2013) by Pierre Lemaitre. Although at first glance these three works seem to bear little or no resemblance to each other, certain crucial parallels can be drawn between and among the dominant themes in these novels. This study considers how death, loss, and their implications affect the main characters: Mickey Sabbath in Sabbath’s Theater, the nameless character in Everyman, and Édouard Péricourt in Au revoir là-haut. How bodily decay and trauma affect …

Still, Unfolding, Ramolen Mencero Laruan
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Together with my Master of Fine Art thesis exhibition, still, unfolding, at Zalucky Contemporary (Toronto, Ontario), this dossier constitutes the following accompanying components: a comprehensive artist statement, documented artwork, an interview with artist Erika DeFreitas, and a curriculum vitae. These components contextualize my subject-position, and outline theoretical research, motivations, and reflections that drive my work. I expand on the diasporic experience, politics of knowledge, and the autobiographical genre as they are linked methodologies in the retrieval of immigrant histories. The fusion of autobiography and fiction becomes a hopeful approach in challenging forgotten or omitted history and confronts the expectations …
Critiquing Psychiatry, Narrating Trauma: Madness In Twentieth-Century North American Literature And Film, Sarah Blanchette
Critiquing Psychiatry, Narrating Trauma: Madness In Twentieth-Century North American Literature And Film, Sarah Blanchette
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This dissertation explores representations of trauma and mental distress in twentieth-century novels and films. Drawn on research that emphasizes the ways that marginalized communities—in particular women-coded, racialized, and Indigenous persons—have historically been pathologized, the thesis considers how select novels and films query biomedical approaches to mental illness and critique psychiatric contexts, which prioritize social control more than they provide substantive and humane forms of support and care. How might representations of trauma and mental distress be understood without confirming regimes of psy-authority or psy-power? The thesis takes up this core issue by building on theories drawn from Mad Studies, illuminating …
Langue D’Écriture Et Construction De L’Identité Propre Chez Les Auteurs Bilingues : Le Cas De Milan Kundera, Nancy Huston Et Jorge Semprun, Kathy Asari
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
La problématique identitaire et la question de l’engagement avec l’altérité comptent parmi les préoccupations majeures en littérature francophone aujourd’hui. Alors que les migrations en masse dans notre monde provoquent de plus en plus des rencontres entre des langues et des cultures, nous constatons la parution d’un nombre grandissant d’œuvres littéraires créées par des auteurs bilingues.
Ces auteurs, par le fait de leur pratique littéraire particulière, qui les place constamment dans l’entre-deux linguistique et culturel, se trouvent souvent en pleine négociation identitaire. De ce fait, il existe chez eux une compréhension aiguë du rôle joué par la langue dans la construction …
