Abjection In Fiction: A Study Of Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, Emily Jobe
Abjection In Fiction: A Study Of Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde, Emily Jobe
The Kennesaw Journal of Undergraduate Research
Julia Kristeva’s focus on understanding what the abject is and how it is manifested plays a key role in this essay. This essay argues that abjection informs the representation of dual personality and addiction in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. By determining what is an abject for Jekyll through an analysis of the characters and plot development, this essay argues that not only is abjection possible for an individual, but it is a necessity of fiction. Using literary and psychoanalytic scholarship and theory, this essay demonstrates key factors in figuring out what, how, …
Ride Of The Waelcyrges : Combating Notions Of Feminine Passivity And Monstrous Deviance In Anglo-Saxon Literature, Shaina Marie Strang-Wolf Tullo
Ride Of The Waelcyrges : Combating Notions Of Feminine Passivity And Monstrous Deviance In Anglo-Saxon Literature, Shaina Marie Strang-Wolf Tullo
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This paper endeavors to trace the Anglo-Saxon literary figure of the waelcyrge through all twelve references to her throughout the Anglo-Saxon corpus, and culminates in an application of the waelcyrge trope to two problematic heroines in Beowulf, Modthryth and Hygd. Given the critical history associated with the waelcyrge, this paper attempts to write against the dominant assumption in Anglo-Saxon scholarship that the waelcyrge is a derivative of the Norse valkyrie. Instead, this paper is predicated on the notion that the waelcyrge represents uniquely Anglo-Saxon values that volley between the cultural shift that occurs in the mid-ninth century through the emergence …
Making Meaning : Death, Dignity, And Dasein In Kazuo Ishiguro’S Never Let Me Go, Angel Katrina Tuohy
Making Meaning : Death, Dignity, And Dasein In Kazuo Ishiguro’S Never Let Me Go, Angel Katrina Tuohy
Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects
This thesis explores Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2005 novel Never Let Me Go, with a focus on the way the novel considers large questions concerning the “meaning” of human life and the nature of “human condition” as Ishiguro calls it in interviews discussing his novel, using language and terminology provided by phenomenologist and philosopher Martin Heidegger in his seminal work Being and Time. This thesis builds on these questions to consider the complex ways that the concept of “dignity” as shown through the experiences of clones who have socially predetermined lifespans complicates issues surrounding the inevitability of death, the uncanniness of …
Vertiginous Space And Blank Topographies : The Narrative Landscapes Of Possession And Annihilation In J. M. Coetzee's Early Novels, Leah Slocum
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This thesis examines the first three novels published by the South African author J.M Coetzee: Dusklands (1974), In the Heart of the Country (1977), and Waiting for the Barbarians (1980). My analyses is structured around how the narrators engage with a vast and threatening landscape in ways that seek to validate an illusion of spatial control and mastery and uphold the colonial metaphor of emptied landscapes. Although only Jacobus in Dusklands embodies the archetypal explorer that “penetrates” the heart of darkness, his counterparts in the next two novels uphold the same kind of self-mythologizing process in which their desire to …
The Nightingale Revisited : Adapting H.C. Andersen's Fairy Tale The Nightingale For Theatre For Young Audiences, Alyssa Fox
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Hans Christian Andersen has been intriguing audiences with his works for ages. These tales are enduring and being reimagined in many different ways today. To explore not only the power of these tales, but the power of theater as a visual storytelling medium, the author has adapted Andersen’s The Nightingale as a play for theatre for young audiences (TYA). This work incorporates not only adaptation theory, but the history of fairy tales, current culture, and trends in TYA in the United States.
"She Is Finally Free" : An Analysis Of Women's Pathologized Oppression And Reclamation Of The Abject In "The Yellow Wallpaper" And Midsommar, Diana Gem Schultz
"She Is Finally Free" : An Analysis Of Women's Pathologized Oppression And Reclamation Of The Abject In "The Yellow Wallpaper" And Midsommar, Diana Gem Schultz
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Women live and lead pathologized lives, as evidenced by past diagnoses of women’s disorders like “hysteria” and more modern issues surrounding beliefs in women’s hormones and biological inferiority. In analyzing women’s relationships with a wider male society and the role Kristevean abjection takes in patriarchal views on women’s minds and bodies, I aim to show how female characters in horror fiction – namely Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” and Ari Aster’s 2019 film, Midsommar – take that abject view and reclaim it for their own power. Through this reclamation, women are able to gain control from patriarchal …
Knowing Totality : Capitalism Across Consciousness And Community In Kim, Nostromo, Sons And Lovers, And Ulysses, Jessica Manry
Knowing Totality : Capitalism Across Consciousness And Community In Kim, Nostromo, Sons And Lovers, And Ulysses, Jessica Manry
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Knowing Totality reads literary portraits of consciousness at the level of capitalist totality. The largest level of the project argues that there is a formal discord in certain twentieth-century novels between “knowability,” or an accepted community narrative, and character “consciousness,” which reaches beyond it. I locate within these formal breaks social and historical contradictions that characterize capital, where seemingly content-based issues in the texts—Rudyard Kipling’s Kim, Joseph Conrad’s Nostromo, D.H. Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers, and James Joyce’s Ulysses—manifest themselves at the level of form. The pairings place the novels in dialectical conversation, highlighting characters on the periphery of communities that …
The Method In The Madwoman : Functions Of Female Madness And Feminized Liminality In Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, And "The Yellow Wallpaper", Ivy Elizabeth Poitras
The Method In The Madwoman : Functions Of Female Madness And Feminized Liminality In Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, And "The Yellow Wallpaper", Ivy Elizabeth Poitras
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
This critical thesis explores how three literary portrayals of “madness” in female characters of the mid-to-late 19th century written by women writers (Bertha Mason of Jane Eyre, Catherine Earnshaw of Wuthering Heights, and the Narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper”) operate as instruments within their work to provide commentary on the anxieties, fears, and ideological stereotypes of women and femininity of the era, as well as contradictions and concepts pertaining to confinement, the female body, gendered Gothic tropes, and societal oppression. The significance of this analysis lies in the consistency and endurance of these issues as they withstand modern development, making …
Idealist And Materialist Approaches To Abolition In Uncle Tom's Cabin And The Daughter Of Adoption, Jillian Shea
Idealist And Materialist Approaches To Abolition In Uncle Tom's Cabin And The Daughter Of Adoption, Jillian Shea
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Sentimentalism was a popular aesthetic, moral, political, and literary movement in the 18th and 19th centuries in the United States and England, and both Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) and John Thelwall’s The Daughter of Adoption (1801) use sentimentalism in their attempts to advocate for the abolition of slavery. Scholars such as Lauren Berlant critique sentimentalism, specifically Stowe’s use of sentimentalism, for its potential to make structural problems appear as if they can be assuaged by personal change, and I situate this understanding of sentimentalism within an idealist framework, or a framework that primarily emphasizes subjectivity’s role in …

A Genre Analysis Of Online Crisis Press Releases On The Mh370 Flight Incident, Che Mat Nor Zulaikha

A crisis press release is a piece of writing intended for the members of media and general public which specifically deals with a particular emergency case or incident. The use of press release in an event of crisis is crucial as a means of communication. This study aims to analyse the press releases on MH370 flight incident from a genre analysis perspective. 44 corporate press releases are collected from the Malaysia Airlines website and analysed. The findings of this study identify the communicative purposes of the crisis press release which are to disseminate information, to address issues and speculations as …

"The Island Has Two Sides": Female Subjectivity In Postcolonial Adaptation, Teah Goldberg
"The Island Has Two Sides": Female Subjectivity In Postcolonial Adaptation, Teah Goldberg
CGU Theses & Dissertations
My dissertation is entitled: “The Island has two sides: Female Subjectivity in Postcolonial Adaptation.” In it I will argue that many postcolonial narratives either consciously or unconsciously adapt Shakespeare’s The Tempest in an effort to resurrect repressed female narratives of resistance. Through an examination of Elizabeth Nunez’s Prospero’s Daughter (2006), J.M. Coetzee’s Foe (1986), Maryse Condé’s I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem (1988), and Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), this dissertation will contribute to the fields of feminist and postcolonial studies by arguing that the kinds of female critical voices that we find embedded within these postcolonial texts, either …
