Doublures, Restes Et Rapports : Les Corps Entre Méconnaissances Et Mises, Jean-Godefroy Bidima Jun 2006

Doublures, Restes Et Rapports : Les Corps Entre Méconnaissances Et Mises, Jean-Godefroy Bidima

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

If the body finds a place in our discourse, it is only to justify what we abhor and to provide us with alibis. However, some postcolonial discourses generate misunderstanding via two major omissions: on the one hand, they steer away from a critique of the political economy of the scholar’s own body and its relationship to economic power; on the other hand, they fail to explore what can be said about the body conceived as remains and as residue. One cannot properly conceive of the body as a substance but, rather, as a relation —a relation to what it is …


Le Système Des Personnages Dans Corruption De Pramoedya Ananta Toer Et L’Homme Rompu De Tahar Ben Jelloun, Magda Ibrahim Jun 2006

Le Système Des Personnages Dans Corruption De Pramoedya Ananta Toer Et L’Homme Rompu De Tahar Ben Jelloun, Magda Ibrahim

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

A comparison of the character systems of Tahar Ben Jelloun’s The Broken Man and Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Corruption (transmitter text) has made it possible to identify the same type of protagonist at the core of each novel. He is, in short, a mere functionary overburdened with social responsibilities, leading a cramped life and trying to live and breathe. But the portrayal of him in The Broken Man is more precise, and has greater depth. Moreover, the character systems as a whole is richer, more complex and subtle in this last novel, compared with that

Reviving The Subject: A Feminist Argument For Mimesis In Literature., Messina Lyle May 2006

Reviving The Subject: A Feminist Argument For Mimesis In Literature., Messina Lyle

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For centuries we have taken for granted Aristotle's assertion that fiction must encourage emotional identification by representing life realistically. With the development of a more pluralistic society, Postmodernist writiers have come to question that assumption. Having repudiated our ancestor's notions of identity, these writers create stories whose sole purpose is to comment on other stories. However, as some feminist critics have shown us, we must each have an identity in order to have the collaborative society that is the Postmodernist's goal. Therefore, the notion that a story must make a sensory impression on us and stand on its own as …

Seeking An Aesthetics Of Metafiction, Erin J. Vachon May 2006

Seeking An Aesthetics Of Metafiction, Erin J. Vachon

Senior Honors Projects

According the Oxford English Dictionary, metafiction is ‘fiction in which the author self-consciously alludes to the artificiality or literariness of a work by parodying or departing from novelistic conventions…and narrative techniques.’ In short, metafiction announces itself as a textual artifact and examines the very nature of fiction. Metafiction has been defined as such, but I seek the effect of the text upon the act of reading and the reader: into what space is the reader initiated when the boundaries between author-text-reader become dismantled or confused? What does the act of reading become, beyond a mere analytic exercise? I am searching …

The Promethean, Volume 14, Transformations, 2006, English Department, Concordia University-Portland

The Promethean

The way of the creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres. -Alexander Pope

Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good, and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2

This year we honor our namesake, Prometheus, known in Greek mythology as the patron of human civilization. When presented with the task of filling the earth with …

Green Waves, Manoli Kouremetis Apr 2006

Green Waves, Manoli Kouremetis

English Theses & Dissertations

This novel explores mourning and responsibility versus the desire for family and intimacy. The story is told from the first-person viewpoint of Winnie Mackey, an adolescent boy who loses his father to complications from diabetes, and who experiments with love in Jerome County, Kentucky.

Winnie's anger and depression following his father's death are complicated by his budding relationship with Faye Linnet, his best friend's twin sister. This situation, especially as it is told from a young narrator's perspective, illustrates how adolescents deal with adult emotions. When life experiences yield inadequate coping mechanisms, these young people embody their pain and pleasure. …

Helen, Alfreda, Babci: A Woman's Struggle For Her Own Destiny, Christopher Koston Apr 2006

Helen, Alfreda, Babci: A Woman's Struggle For Her Own Destiny, Christopher Koston

Undergraduate University Honors Capstones

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay Self-Reliance, defined complacency as the ultimate satisfaction of the self despite everything. It is to “rise above time’s rule” and “shun the battles of fate.” It is these battles of fate in the course of time’s rule that essentially predetermine how individuals work out their destinies by limiting or overriding human will. In following Emerson’s philosophy, I believe that we possess innate qualities that give us the potential to overcome such destiny. One can become a stone in the middle of a river, impervious to its flow. My grandmother, Alfreda, had brief tastes of …
