The book follows the storyteller as the boy follows the Discworld as he grows up.

  • The Virtue of the Stereotypical Antagonist in Terry Pratchett's
    BY THE STRENGTH OF THEIR ENEMIES: THE VIRTUE OF THE STEREOTYPICAL ANTAGONIST IN TERRY PRATCHETT’S ‘WITCHES’ NOVELS BY CATHERINE M. D. JOULE A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington (2021) 1 2 Abstract The comic fantasy Discworld novels of Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) are marked by their clear and insightful approaches to complex ethical issues. This has been noted in academic approaches from the beginning, with Farah Mendlesohn’s chapter “Faith and Ethics” appearing in the early collection Terry Pratchett: Guilty of Literature (2000) and many others since touching on the issues Pratchett raises. However, this thesis’s investigation into the use of stereotypes in characterisation and development of the antagonist figures within the Discworld novels breaks new ground in mapping the course of Pratchett’s approaches across six Discworld novels. This argument will focus on the ‘Witches’ sequence of novels: Equal Rites (1987), Wyrd Sisters (1988), Witches Abroad (1991), Lords and Ladies (1992), Maskerade (1995), and Carpe Jugulum (1998). Unlike other sequences in the Discworld series, these novels have a strong metatextual focus on the structural components of narrative. In this context, stereotypes facilitate both the humour and the moral arguments of these novels. Signifiers of stereotypes invoke expectations which are as often thwarted as they are fulfilled and, while resulting in humour, this process also reflects on the place of the individual within the community, the nature of right and wrong, and how we as people control the narratives which define our lives and ourselves.

Despite this high praise, however, Pratchett receives relatively little critical attention. His work is fantasy and is often marginalized by academics-just like the rest ofthe geme. Pratchett has a tremendous following in England and a smaller but completely devoted fan base in the United States, not to mention enough readers all over the world to justify translation ofhis work into nearly thirty languages; yet, his popularity has not necessarily resulted in the respect that his writing deserves. However, there is considerable support for Pratchett's place in the literary canon, based on his use ofsatire and parody to treat major issues. 1 Aspects of Humanity: The Discworld Novels of Terry Pratchett Introduction Novelist Terry Pratchett is one ofEngland's most popular living writers; he is recognized, by virtue ofhis Discworld novels, as one ofthe leading satirists working today.

  • What's Behind a Name? Origins and Meaning of Some of the Recurrent
    Yana Manova-Georgieva 2020, Vol. 17 (2), 165-176(284) South-West University Neofit Rilski, Bulgaria revije.ff.uni-lj.si/elope https://doi.org/10.4312/elope.17.2.165-176 UDC: 821.111.09-312.9Pratchett T.:81'367.622.12 What’s Behind a Name? Origins and Meaning of Some of the Recurrent Characters in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld ABSTRACT Nominative symbolism in fantasy is a tool to attribute certain traits to literary characters and thus to convey meaning which enriches the readers’ comprehension of the fictitious personality. Proper names in the English naming tradition are not generally seen as means of alluding to the character of a person, yet they have sometimes been chosen purposefully by writers so as to reveal the idea that a symbolic name tries to convey. The paper therefore aims at investigating the origin and author’s intended meaning behind the names of some recurrent literary characters in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series from the viewpoint of their structure and the allusions they evoke in the reader’s imagination. The analysis includes five names presenting three different structures: neologisms based on syntactic composition, imitations of borrowed structures that are foreign to the English model of naming, and typical English naming models where name symbolism is due to the lexical choice of the components in the name. Keywords: onomastics, literary onomastics, proper names, allusiveness, literary names, charactonyms Kaj se skriva za imenom? Izvori in pomeni imen nekaterih likov v seriji romanov Plošča Terryja Pratchetta POVZETEK V fantazijskem žanru je nominativni simbolizem orodje za pripisovanje določenih lastnosti književnim likom, simbolni pomeni pa bogatijo bralsko dojemanje fiktivnih likov.

In my MA thesis, I examine closely the allusive qualities of the white knowledge present in Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching series: The Wee Free Men (2003), A Hat Full of Sky (2004), Wintersmith (2006), I Shall Wear Midnight (2010) and The Shepherd’s Crown (2015).

The field specifically to do with Pratchett is cunently a very limited one, of secondary material is brought to bear on the subjects of fantasy, tale, postrnodernist fiction and fiction in general. There is particular ret,ereJnce made to the thought of Mikhail Bakhtin and to vruious critical interpretations. The main concern is to develop a reading of Teny Pratchett that informed by some of Bakhtin' s wide-ranging ideas.

Analyysini painopiste ovat naisstereotyypit ja kuinka Pratchettin hahmot samanaikaisesti purkavat ja ylläpitävät näitä stereotyyppejä. Pratchettin noitahahmot - etenkin Lancre-kirjojen kolme päähenkilöä, noidat Magrat Garlick, Nanny Ogg ja Granny Weatherwax - edustavat neljää naisstereotyyppiä neitsyt, äiti, vanha akka sekä noita. Näistä kolme ensimmäistä muodostavat naisen elämänkaaren, noidan ollessa näiden roolien rikkomisen symboli. Discworld-sarjassa noita roolina heijastaa Mary Russon käsitettä "unruly woman", vallaton nainen, joka kieltäytyy mukautumasta annettuihin rooleihin ja tekee itsestään spektaakkelin olemalla liian vanha, äänekäs, ruma tai groteski. Analyysini toinen painopiste stereotyyppien ohella on kysymys identiteetistä ja toiseudesta. Noidat ovat perinteisesti saduissa edustaneet pahaa toiseutta, ja nostaessaan nämä hahmot kirjojensa keskiöön ja sankareiksi, Pratchett

    Humanities Teaching Literature in the Tenth Grade Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Novels as an Introduction to Classic English Literature ENS001F Thesis for an MA degree in English Valgerður Guðrún Bjarkadóttir January 2009 University of Iceland Humanities English Teaching Literature in the Tenth Grade Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Novels as an Introduction to Classic English Literature ENS001F Thesis for an MA degree in English Valgerður Guðrún Bjarkadóttir Kt.: 120679-5389 Supervisors: Guðrún Björk Guðsteinsdóttir and Birna Arnbjörnsdóttir January 2009 To my family for their support and Inga Sóley for introducing me to Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels. Summary This thesis suggests that the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett may be used to introduce tenth graders in Icelandic compulsory schools to classic English literature, in addition to providing a definition of fantasy and how the Discworld novels fit into that definition. I suggest that this can be accomplished by introducing the students to the fantasy genre, to which the Discworld novels belong. The Discworld novels are parodic fantasy novels and through them the students will be exposed to the classic themes, plots and characters of more traditional English literature. The thesis focuses on the use of three Discworld novels: Eric , Wyrd Sisters and Lords and Ladies . These three novels are, respectively, parodies of Christopher Marlowe’s The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus and Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream , and therefore provide an excellent springboard to these three classic plays. Motivational reading activities, such as classroom dialogue; peer and self-assessments, and task based learning along with video and audio stimulations are used to create instruction guides for teaching each of the three Discworld novels.

  • Terry Pratchett's Witches
    Which witch is which? A feminist analysis of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld witches University of Halmstad Faculty of Humanities Lorraine Andersson 2006-06-03 Thesis for a Masters of Arts in English Supervisor: Kristina Hildebrand Foreword The researching and writing of this work took place while I was working full time, and so took time away from my family. I would therefore like to give my great appreciation to my husband, Hans, and my daughter, Emelie, who were understanding when mummy had to “go work on the computer”. Many a Pratchett novel was re-read to a background of cartoons, which is perhaps why a couple of cartoon characters made cameo appearances in this essay. Thanks also to my in-laws, Margareta and Arne Andersson, who gave me childfree afternoons when I could concentrate. I would also like to thank the head of the English Department at the time, Monica Karlsson, who allowed me to read the course when it was not officially offered. Thanks also go to Timothy Cox for taking time to read this essay and give helpful feedback. Last but in no way least, a huge thank-you to my tutor, Kristina Hildebrand, who would willingly spend hours talking Pratchett. i Abstract Terry Pratchett, writer of humorous, satirical fantasy, is very popular in Britain. His Discworld series, which encompasses over 30 novels, has witches as protagonists in one of the major sub-series, currently covering eight novels. His first “witch” novel, Equal Rites, in which he pits organised, misogynist wizards against disorganised witches, led him to being accused of feminist writing.
