    Mhysa or Monster: Masculinization, Mimicry, and the White Savior in A Song of Ice and Fire by Rachel Hartnett A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2016 Copyright 2016 by Rachel Hartnett ii Acknowledgements Foremost, I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to my advisor Dr. Elizabeth Swanstrom for her motivation, support, and knowledge. Besides encouraging me to pursue graduate school, she has been a pillar of support both intellectually and emotionally throughout all of my studies. I could never fully express my appreciation, but I owe her my eternal gratitude and couldn’t have asked for a better advisor and mentor. I also would like to thank the rest of my thesis committee: Dr. Eric Berlatsky and Dr. Carol McGuirk, for their inspiration, insightful comments, and willingness to edit my work. I also thank all of my fellow English graduate students at FAU, but in particular: Jenn Murray and Advitiya Sachdev, for the motivating discussions, the all-nighters before paper deadlines, and all the fun we have had in these few years. I’m also sincerely grateful for my long-time personal friends, Courtney McArthur and Phyllis Klarmann, who put up with my rants, listened to sections of my thesis over and over again, and helped me survive through the entire process. Their emotional support and mental care helped me stay focused on my graduate study despite numerous setbacks. Last but not the least, I would like to express my heart-felt gratitude to my sisters, Kelly and Jamie, and my mother.

In this article we will explore how HBO came to legitimatise a contemporary television culture through producing distinct divisions ad infinitum, framed as being rooted outside mainstream commercial television production. In creating incessant divisions in genre, authorship and aesthetics, HBO incorporates artistic norms and principles of evaluation and puts them into circulation as a succession of oppositions— oppositions that we will explore throughout this paper.

  • Racialization, Femininity, Motherhood and the Iron Throne
    THESIS RACIALIZATION, FEMININITY, MOTHERHOOD AND THE IRON THRONE GAME OF THRONES AS A HIGH FANTASY REJECTION OF WOMEN OF COLOR Submitted by Aaunterria Treil Bollinger-Deters Department of Ethnic Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2018 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Ray Black Joon Kim Hye Seung Chung Copyright by Aaunterria Bollinger 2018 All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT RACIALIZATION, FEMININITY, MOTHERHOOD AND THE IRON THRONE GAME OF THRONES A HIGH FANTASY REJECTION OF WOMEN OF COLOR This analysis dissects the historic preconceptions by which American television has erased and evaded race and racialized gender, sexuality and class distinctions within high fantasy fiction by dissociation, systemic neglect and negating artistic responsibility, much like American social reality. This investigation of high fantasy creative fiction alongside its historically inherited framework of hierarchal violent oppressions sets a tone through racialized caste, fetishized gender and sexuality. With the cult classic television series, Game of Thrones (2011-2019) as example, portrayals of white and nonwhite racial patterns as they define womanhood and motherhood are dichotomized through a new visual culture critical lens called the Colonizers Template. This methodological evaluation is addressed through a three-pronged specified study of influential areas: the creators of Game of Thrones as high fantasy creative contributors, the context of Game of Thrones

  • Daenerys Targaryen and Privacy of Minors Daenerys Targaryen Is a Fictional Character from George R.R. Martin's a Song of Ice A
    Daenerys Targaryen and Privacy of Minors Daenerys Targaryen is a fictional character from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. These books are written in the tradition of epic fantasy and are set in an imaginary world (Westeros) that mirrors our own world during the medieval period with a few magical elements and mythical creatures added in. Daenerys, or Dany as she is called in the series, is the last living Targaryen. The Targaryens first conquered Westeros with dragons and ruled until they were overthrown by Robert Baratheon. Dany’s family attempted to flee Westeros, as the royal children were going to be killed by the rebels. Only Dany and her abusive brother Viserys survived, however, and lived across the Narrow Sea in exile. Dany is sold by her brother to Khal Drogo and she becomes Khaleesi. After tragically losing her husband and unborn child, Dany puts three fossilized dragon eggs into Khal Drogo’s funeral pyre, then places herself into the fire. When the fire clears, Dany and her new three baby dragons emerge (Martin, 1996). She calls them her children and swears to care for them as well as those in her khalasar who did not abandon her after the Khal’s death. In A Clash of Kings (1999) and A Storm of Swords (2000) Martin reveals even more of Dany’s caring nature. Dany is now “The Mother of Dragons” and later, after freeing thousands of slaves, she is called Mhysa by her new people, which means mother. Because Dany is one of the most caring, humanistic characters in the novels, we will use the ethics of care.
