  • Narrative Representations of Masculinity
    JOURNAL OF ENGLISH STUDIES – VOLUME 15 (2017), 71-88. http://doi.org/10.18172/jes.3190 NARRATIVE REPRESENTATIONS OF MASCULINITY. THE HARD WEREWOLF AND THE ANDROGYNOUS VAMPIRE IN ANITA BLAKE: VAMPIRE HUNTER SERIES VIRGINIA FUSCO Carlos III University of Madrid [email protected] ABSTRACT. Laurell Hamilton in her Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter Series portrays a large community of monstrous creatures that populate a violent near-future American landscape. A number of critics have already explored the forms in which Anita, the leading heroine, emerges in the 1990s literary scene as a strong figure who challenges traditional narratives of female subordination and alters predictable romantic entanglements with the male protagonists (Crawford 2014; Veldman-Genz 2011; Siegel 2007; Holland-Toll 2004). Moving beyond this approach that centres on Anita, this paper explores the forms in which the author designs her male companions and lovers. Her choice of lovers suggests that there are multiple desires at play in Hamilton’s popular fiction in relation to masculinity in the context of a heterosexual erotica. Following a methodological approach of cultural studies (Saukko 2003), this study seeks to illustrate how conflicting desires, emblemized by her plurality of lovers, represent a literary effect of paradoxical yearnings at play in contemporary white, middle-class American women’s lives. Keywords: Hard masculinity, androgyny, werewolf, vampire, Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter Series. 71 Journal of English Studies, vol. 15 (2017) 71-88 VIRGINIA FUSCO REPRESENTACIONES LITERARIAS DE LA MASCULINIDAD.

  • Narratives in Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake
    Monsters, sex, and (dis)ease: Exploring HIV/AIDS-‘positive’ narratives in Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series. Dissertation Proposal submitted by Jennifer Dumoulin Ph.D. Candidate Department of Communication Supervised by Professor Florian Grandena University of Ottawa January 2019 Abstract In the world of Anita Blake, vampires, werewolves, and zombies don’t just hide in their coffins. Among other things, they go to school, have steady jobs, run successful businesses, give witness testimony, and have romantic relationships. And yet, preternatural characters are treated differently from – and by – the human characters in the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series. They’re often feared and treated as dangerous, viewed as a disease and as contaminated, and seen as something to be controlled or exterminated. The treatment of preternatural characters in the Anita Blake series seems, on the surface, to parallel the treatment of people living with disability, disease, and illness in the real-world, and in particular, people living with HIV/AIDS. This similarity is, in and of itself, not surprising – many scholars have called attention to similarities between HIV/AIDS and vampires, werewolves, and zombies in the context of disease transmission, bodily transformation, and identity metamorphosis. Despite this differential, discriminatory, and stigmatizing treatment, many preternatural characters in the world of Anita Blake do not merely survive, they thrive. Using the Anita Blake series as its lens, this study examines how the series contributes to the HIV/AIDS narrative and, ultimately, what we can learn from it in the context of changing perceptions around how we as a society and as individuals treat people living with disability, disease and illness.
