Blanche Dubois: A Woman's Journey From Belle Reve Through Tarantula Arms To The Elysian Fields, Raluca Daniela Comanelea
Blanche Dubois: A Woman's Journey From Belle Reve Through Tarantula Arms To The Elysian Fields, Raluca Daniela Comanelea
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
This present thesis aims at deconstructing the main character of A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams: Blanche DuBois. Blanche’s journey is traced from Death to Desire and finally, to an ultimate envisioned destination, The Elysian Fields, which represents her physical and spiritual burial at sea, with her soul ultimately reaching heaven. Blanche’s most important quality - her ability to seduce audiences into perceiving the multifaceted layers of her feminine character all at once - marks her entry into Williams’s theatre of excess. Her theatricality springs precisely from her fascinating ability to reconstruct her persona in the course of the …
The Trans Complaint: Contributions To The Disagreement About Desire, Brandon L. Aultman
The Trans Complaint: Contributions To The Disagreement About Desire, Brandon L. Aultman
Wagadu: A Journal of Transnational Women's & Gender Studies
Trans studies has been argued to be at a defining crossroads. The discipline needs to reorient itself toward new theories of transness and subjectivity or face its own dissolution. This means contesting received dogmas of gender-determination, identity, history, and narrative convention. This essay examines how recently proposed uses of narratives, poetry, and satire can enable such contests in generative ways. It theorizes the trans complaint as an index for how popularly and academically mediated trans cultures, or intimate publics, might turn toward ordinary life theories in order to understand desire, fantasy, and their interlocking complexities of making a life.
An Auto-Thanatographical Approach To Paul Kalanithi’S When Breath Becomes Air, Mahmoud Ibrahim Ibrahim Radwan
An Auto-Thanatographical Approach To Paul Kalanithi’S When Breath Becomes Air, Mahmoud Ibrahim Ibrahim Radwan
Journal of the Faculty of Arts (JFA)
The study undertakes to examine Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air (2016) in the light of the deliberations on theories of ‘autothanatography’ embraced by several critics. It argues that when one is faced with own mortality, textuality can be instrumental in reformulating the popular phobic avoidant conceptualization of death as the commencement of the transience and the end of the self. It is Kalanithi’s cancer diagnosis that foments him to write his ‘authothanatography.’ In his narrative of the dying self, he unfolds how his professional, smooth familial and social life has been overturned and disrupted under the painful weight of …
The Desire For Chaste Love In Book Three Of The Faerie Queene, Hayley Mcclenny
The Desire For Chaste Love In Book Three Of The Faerie Queene, Hayley Mcclenny
English Department Theses
This paper examines the complex relationship between chastity and consummation presented in Book Three of The Faerie Queene. By recasting the Ovidian myth of Venus and Adonis, Spenser creates a definition of chastity that is based in the bond of natural emotion that includes sexual expression without the damaging effects of lust. Venus and Adonis are the first to enact love based on this definition and exemplify perfection in their expression and acceptance of love. From their example, all other lovers in Book Three act in favor of or against the notion of selfless and chaste love. Chapter two …
Performing Desire In Times Square: Sailors, Hustlers And Masculinity, Kel R. Karpinski
Performing Desire In Times Square: Sailors, Hustlers And Masculinity, Kel R. Karpinski
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
From WWII to the early 1970s, New York City as a port town created a liminal space extending from the piers in the Brooklyn Navy Yard all the way to Times Square in Midtown Manhattan. In Times Square, through interactions on the street, in bars and in hotel rooms, desire and masculinity become a performance between and for men. The queerness of these performances lies in the fact that they fall outside of the norms of society both as same-sex encounters and because sex work is viewed as “deviant.” Further, these interactions eschew traditional labels and limits of desire and …
Sexuality, Esoteric Energies, And The Subtleties Of Transmutation Versus Transformation, Barnaby B. Barratt
Sexuality, Esoteric Energies, And The Subtleties Of Transmutation Versus Transformation, Barnaby B. Barratt
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies Advance Publication Archive
Transpersonal perspectives on the meaningfulness of being human, and especially the significance of subtle energy teachings, necessitate a rethinking of the notion of sexuality, beyond definitions in terms of sex acts, biological endowments, or perhaps even the complex fantasia of desire. This redefining of the erotic dimension of human life leads both to appreciation of healing as inherently sexual and to understanding how the processes of transmutation by the forces of subtle energies profoundly differ from the transformations that representation of thoughts, feelings, and wishes may undergo. Cognitive access (including that of reflective selfconsciousness) to these forces is inevitably limited …
