Introduction Portraying different kinds of trauma has been undeniably one of the most frequent topics of literary works. Still, only since the end of the nineties has the use of trauma studies in literary criticism gained popularity; especially concerning war trauma, the holocaust, and the literature of post-communist and post-colonial countries. Furthermore, recently trauma as a framework of interpretation has become widely used in gender studies, too, and the trauma of battered women and abused children have become a focus of attention with the strengthening of the women’s movement as well. Alongside this interest of literary studies in trauma, it can be observed that trauma has a central importance in contemporary culture, too: mass media, as well as popular culture, seems obsessed with repeatedly showing traumatic events, and there is also a “preoccupation with family dysfunctions–child abuse, incest, spousal abuse–in the media, most strikingly on the talk show circuit” (Berger 571). Moreover, the history of the twentieth century has been rich in traumatic events. The two World Wars have re-shaped our understanding of warfare, while the invention of the nuclear bomb has completely changed the possible dangers of a new war. The Nazi death camps have traumatized generations to come, and completely changed how humans can think about 1 themselves and humanity as such while also destroying forever the belief in a right, just and logical world. The Cold War, Vietnam, Iraq, the collapse of the twin towers: the Western world seems to live in a constant anticipation of danger since the First World War. The history of Hungary in the twentieth century has also been abundant with traumatic events. After being defeated in both World Wars and losing two- thirds of its territory, Hungary became part of the Soviet Union against its will, and had to struggle for its freedom until 1990. Meanwhile, though Korea has gained independence after the Second World War, the Korean War disunited the country, causing constant tension up until now. As Cumings observes in his introduction to Korean short stories all centering around trauma: “[n]ow that South Koreans are free to write about this war …, we can see that an entire population was traumatized by one of the most violent and intense wars of the twentieth century” (ix). Even after the Korean War, the different military regimes and the so-called Gwangju Massacre in 1980 provide ample material for writings on trauma, still very much present in Korean contemporary fiction. Indeed, as Caruth suggests, our “catastrophic age” is an age in which trauma can “provide the very link between cultures” (“Foreword” 11). One narrative mode or strategy that is employed by several authors while writing about historical trauma is magical realism, which will be dealt 2 with in detail in the second chapter. Although it is a highly debated and overused term, which many writers have refused regarding their works, for the purpose of this paper, that is, in order to illuminate the underlying similarities between the three narratives, it offers a fruitful approach. First of all, in all three texts there are ghosts engendered by historical trauma, whose paradoxical presence is accepted by the communities as natural. These ghosts all embody the repressed (or dissociated) past and their haunting is intertwined with the haunting quality of traumatic memory. Also, by trying to represent the verbally unrepresentable, magical realism has similar aims to that of trauma narratives. Although trauma cannot be completely verbalized nor comprehended, by means of the supernatural elements its evasive nature can be portrayed quite effectively. In addition, several critics1 mention the possibility of a cultural healing (where healing means enabling different alternatives for the future by means of discussing and remembering the silenced and/or repressed past) or rather commemoration, initiated by magical realist texts, which again characterizes trauma narratives as well. Therefore, there are some underlying similarities between works concerning trauma and magical realist texts, and one of the aims of this dissertation is to observe the reason behind these similarities. In addition, it intends to show how these characteristics are applied in all three works, written in highly different cultural and historical contexts. 1 See the works Wendy B. Faris, Taner Can, and Maggie Ann Bowers, among others. 3 Thus, this dissertation plans to analyze and compare an African American, a Korean, and a Hungarian narrative, each concentrating on both individual and collective trauma and each authors using the techniques of magical realism in these works. It is important to note that none of the writers write exclusively magical realist texts; rather, they have made a conscious decision to use the narrative mode in these particular works. As this dissertation suggests, there is a reason why magical realism is especially appropriate for trauma narratives. The three works discussed are Beloved (1987) by Toni Morrison, The Guest (2001) by Hwang Sok-yong and Welcome (2005) by Krisztián Grecsó. In Morrison's case, the trauma pervading all her novels, whether they are set in the seventeenth, nineteenth or the twentieth century, is the collective memory of slavery. In all her works she focuses on “the damaging impact of white racist practices and learned cultural shame on the collective African- American experience”, showing how it takes part “in the construction of African-American identities as racially inferior and stigmatized” (Bouson 4). Her agenda is, as Bouson points out, to “bear witness to the shame and trauma” in the life of African-Americans, while also trying to provide “a cultural cure both through the artistic rendering and narrative

  • An Analysis of Gothic Features in Macbeth∗
    Sino-US English Teaching, December 2016, Vol. 13, No. 12, 971-976 doi:10.17265/1539-8072/2016.12.008 D DAVID PUBLISHING An Analysis of Gothic Features in Macbeth∗ LI Bao-feng, ZHAO Xu-liang Harbin Engineering University, Harbin, China Macbeth as one of the Four Great Tragedies by Shakespeare depicts a great change of Macbeth from a hero of counter-insurgency into a tyrannical king. What impresses readers most is the frequent usage of Gothic features, like murders, ghost, witches, and so on. The paper will make a tentative study on Gothic settings, Gothic characters, and Gothic plots in Macbeth. The age of confusing right and wrong and horrible environmental settings will be expounded; then, the detailed analysis of Gothic characters like Macbeth, the trio of Witches and Lady Macbeth will be elaborated on; the plots of noumenal horror and mental terror will be elucidated finally. It is helpful for deeply understanding the drama’s theme and interpreting the work from a new perspective, which plays a positive role in the research and development of Gothic literature and possesses certain significance for literary reference. Keywords: Macbeth, Gothic settings, Gothic characters, Gothic plots Introduction Gothicism in literature has different stages of development and it is generally believed that it is pioneered by Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story (1764) and flourished through the early 19th century. The Gothic fiction is characterized by depicting the events of horror, ghost, violence, nightmare, and so on; besides, its locale is often a gloomy and mysterious castle. The Gothic works are destined to depend on terror and horror, though bringing about emotional changes in distinctive ways.

Some instinct – for which I can only be thankful – told me not to stray into 'Sensibility', 'Pastoral', or 'Epistolary' novels of the period 1770-1820, but to stick to Gothic Novels and Tales of Terror. Michael Sadleir, XIX Century Fiction It seems appropriate that the Sadleir-Black collection of Gothic fictions, a genre peppered with illicit passions, should be described by its progenitor as the fruit of lust. Michael Sadleir (1888-1957), the person who cultivated this passion, was a noted bibliographer, book collector, publisher and creative writer. Educated at Rugby and Balliol College, Oxford, Sadleir joined the office of the publishers Constable and Company in 1912, becoming Director in 1920. He published seven reasonably successful novels; important biographical studies of Trollope, Edward and Rosina Bulwer, and Lady Blessington; and a number of ground-breaking bibliographical works, most significantly Excursions in Victorian Bibliography (1922) and XIX Century Fiction (1951).

  • I PRACTICAL MAGIC: MAGICAL REALISM and the POSSIBILITIES
    i PRACTICAL MAGIC: MAGICAL REALISM AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF REPRESENTATION IN TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY FICTION AND FILM by RACHAEL MARIBOHO DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington August, 2016 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Wendy B. Faris, Supervising Professor Neill Matheson Kenneth Roemer Johanna Smith ii ABSTRACT: Practical Magic: Magical Realism And The Possibilities of Representation In Twenty-First Century Fiction And Film Rachael Mariboho, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016 Supervising Professor: Wendy B. Faris Reflecting the paradoxical nature of its title, magical realism is a complicated term to define and to apply to works of art. Some writers and critics argue that classifying texts as magical realism essentializes and exoticizes works by marginalized authors from the latter part of the twentieth-century, particularly Latin American and postcolonial writers, while others consider magical realism to be nothing more than a marketing label used by publishers. These criticisms along with conflicting definitions of the term have made classifying contemporary works that employ techniques of magical realism a challenge. My dissertation counters these criticisms by elucidating the value of magical realism as a narrative mode in the twenty-first century and underlining how magical realism has become an appealing means for representing contemporary anxieties in popular culture. To this end, I analyze how the characteristics of magical realism are used in a select group of novels and films in order to demonstrate the continued significance of the genre in modern art. I compare works from Tea Obreht and Haruki Murakami, examine the depiction of adolescent females in young adult literature, and discuss the environmental and apocalyptic anxieties portrayed in the films Beasts of the Southern Wild, Take iii Shelter, and Melancholia.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 459 865 IR 058 417 AUTHOR Center, Emily R. TITLE Discovering by Analysis: Harry Potter and Youth Fantasy. PUB DATE 2001-08-00 NOTE 38p.; Master of Library and Information Science Research Paper, Kent State University. PUB TYPE Dissertations/Theses (040) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Adolescent Literature; *Childrens Literature; *Fantasy; Fiction; Literary Criticism; *Reading Material Selection; Tables (Data) IDENTIFIERS *Harry Potter; *Reading Lists ABSTRACT There has been a recent surge in the popularity of youth fantasy books; this can be partially attributed to the popularity of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Librarians and others who recommend books to youth are having a difficult time suggesting other fantasy books to those who have read the Harry Potter series and want to read other similar fantasy books, because they are not as familiar with the youth fantasy genre as with other genres. This study analyzed a list of youth fantasy books and compared them to the books in the Harry Potter series, through a breakdown of their fantasy elements (i.e., fantasy subgenres, main characters, secondary characters, plot elements, and miscellaneous elements) .Books chosen for the study were selected from lists of youth fantasy books recommended to fantasy readers and others that are currently in print. The study provides a resource for fantasy readers by quantifying the elements of the youth fantasy books, as well as creating a guide for those interested in the Harry Potter books. It also helps fill a gap in the research of youth fantasy. Appendices include a youth fantasy reading list, the coding sheet, data tables, and final annotated book list.(Contains 10 references and 9 tables.)(Author/MES) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

The majority of the magic realist narrative is set in a postcolonial context and written from the perspective of the politically oppressed group. Magic realism, by giving the marginalized and the oppressed a voice, allows them to tell their own story, to reinterpret the established version of history written from the dominant perspective and to create their own version of history. This innovative narrative mode in its opposition of the notion of absolute history emphasizes the possibility of simultaneous existence of many truths at the same time. In this paper, the researcher, in efforts to unfold conditions culturally marginalized, explores the relevance of alternative sense of reality to reinterpret the official version of colonial history in Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children from the perspective of magic realism. As a methodological approach to respond to the fiction text, magic realism endows reinterpretation and reconsideration of the official colonial history in reaffirmation of identity of the culturally marginalized people with diverse voices.
