  • Abstract Why We Turn the Page: a Literary Theory Of
    ABSTRACT WHY WE TURN THE PAGE: A LITERARY THEORY OF DYNAMIC STRUCTURALISM Justin J. J. Ness, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2019 David J. Gorman, Director This study claims that every narrative text intrinsically possesses a structure of fixed relationships among its interest components. The progress of literary structuralism gave more attention to the static nature of what a narrative is than it did to the dynamic nature of how it operates. This study seeks to build on the work of those few theorists who have addressed this general oversight and to contribute a more comprehensive framework through which literary critics may better chart the distinct tensions that a narrative text cultivates as it proactively produces interest to motivate a reader’s continued investment therein. This study asserts that the interest in narrative is premised on three affects— avidity, anxiety, and curiosity—and that tensions within the text are developed through five components of discourse: event, description, dialog, sequence, and presentation.

Ness A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH Dissertation Director: David J. Gorman ACKNOWLEDGMENTS David Gorman, the director of my project, introduced me to literary structuralism six years ago and has ever since challenged me to ask the simple questions that most people take for granted, to “dare to be stupid.” This honesty about my own ignorance was—in one sense, perhaps the most important sense—the beginning of my life as a scholar.

    Reading Literature in the Anthropocene: Ecosophy and the Ecologically-Oriented Ethics of Jeff Noon’s Nymphomation and Pollen Emma Nicoletti 10012001 B.A. (Hons), The University of Western Australia, 2005 Dip. Ed., The University of Western Australia, 2006 This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia School of Humanities (English and Cultural Studies) 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the science fiction novels Nymphomation and Pollen by Jeff Noon. The reading brings together ideas from the eco-sciences, environmental humanities and ecocriticism in order to analyse the ecological dimensions of these texts. Although Noon’s work has been the subject of academic critique, critical discussions of his oeuvre have overlooked the engagement of Nymphomation and Pollen with ecological issues. This is a gap in the scholarship on Noon’s work that this thesis seeks to rectify. These novels depict landscapes and communities as being degraded because of the influence of information technologies and homogeneous ideologies, making them a productive lens through which to consider and critically respond to some of the environmental and social challenges faced by humanity in an anthropogenic climate. In order to discuss the ecological dimensions of these novels, the thesis advances the notion of an “ecosophical reading practice.” This idea draws on Felix Guattari’s concept of “ecosophy,” and combines it with the notions of “ecological thinking” developed in the work of theorists Timothy Morton, Lorraine Code and Gregory Bateson. While Morton’s work is extensively cited in ecocritical scholarship, with a few exceptions, the work of the other theorists is not.

In the ARPES studies carried out for crystals with Sn composition of x=0.23 in the synchrotron laboratory MAX-lab, Lund, Sweden and in the photoelectron spectroscopy laboratory of KTH, Kista, Sweden the band inversion was achieved at TC = 150 K. Below the inversion temperature one observed the formation of topological states with Dirac-like energy dispersion and Figure 1.

Thus, the presence of the gapless Dirac-like states on the surface of Pb1-xSnxSe The existence of topologically protected surface proved that this narrow-gap semiconducting solid states with the Dirac-like dispersion on the (100) surface solution belongs to the new class of TCI. of Pb1-xSnxSe monocrystals has been recently proven by the angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments [1]. The discovery of new quantum materials – topological insulators (TI) (one of the most important recent developments in condensed-matter physics) showed that time-reversal symmetry and strong relativistic (spin-orbit) effects led to presence of metallic helical Dirac-like electronic states on surfaces of some particular crystals, like Bi2Te3 or Bi2Se3.The further theoretical developments in analysis of conditions necessary for occurrence of particular properties characteristic of TI led to widening the class of suitable materials by topological crystalline insulators (TCI), in which specific crystalline symmetries warrant the topological protection of metallic surface states [2,3].

  • Virtual Catastrophe: the Ecologically-Oriented Ethics of Jeff
    Virtual Catastrophe: The Ecologically-Oriented Ethics of Jeff Noon’s Pollen Emma Nicoletti Jeff Noon's “Vurt” novels—Vurt , Pollen , Automated Alice , and Nymphomation—occupy an unusual niche within the science fiction subgenre of cyberpunk. 1 Typically, cyberpunk texts are set in near-future dystopian worlds, which are dominated by advanced virtual technologies and powerful corporations, and against this backdrop the skilled computer hacker uncovers conspiracies (often for financial profit). While Noon’s “Vurt” novels certainly include these broad aspects of cyberpunk, their execution of this “formula” differs from the typical cyberpunk mould. In these novels, the action is restricted to Manchester rather than the more cyberpunk-esque urban sprawl settings of North America or Japan, their featured “vurt” technology has an organic rather than mechanistic basis, 2 and, furthermore, they are about “looking reality in the face” rather than fleeing the messiness of the material world to the sterile safety of cyberspace. 3 For Val Gough, this last peculiarity sees Noon's novels constituting an instance of feminist cyberpunk fiction because “for Noon … the meat world constitutes an ethical challenge and a promise of redemption every bit as important as those of virtual reality or cyberspace.” 4 On the other hand, I see in all three cyberpunk-oddities of Noon's novels the promise of an ecologically-aware cyberpunk fiction: Manchester's history of industrialism and redevelopment as a haven for COLLOQUY text theory critique 23 (2012). © Monash University. www.arts.monash.edu.au/ecps/colloquy/journal/issue023/nicoletti.pdf 32 Emma Nicoletti ░ “yuppie” consumers situate it squarely in the environmentalist discourses on pollution and mass consumerism; 5 the depiction of technology as grounded in material reality acknowledges the dependency of all technology on the earth's resources; and, registering our inability to fully escape our bodies or our world nods to the importance of accepting the existence of a material reality that supports all life.

  • 02955 the Aesthetics of Violence OA
    Political Violence and the Tellability of Tales Frode Helmich Pedersen It is a common perception that stories of sex and violence sell, and that it is therefore only to be expected that journalists and editors will, as a rule, favor stories about violence over narratives of a less dramatic kind. Not all stories of violence are equally publishable, however. Some stories of violence are intuitively understood to be “ft to print,” as the slogan goes, whereas others are, for a variety of reasons, deemed unsuitable for publication. How can we go about investigating this phenomenon? To what extent is it possible to ascertain the mechanisms that determine which stories of political violence are covered by Western news media and which are most likely ignored or suppressed? Two approaches to these questions come to mind. Te frst is the media critique put forward by Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman in their 1988 book Manufacturing Consent, where the central thesis is that the news stories that make the headlines in the established US press are the ones that tend to serve the interests of US state and corporate power. Te second approach 83 the aesthetics of violence is Slavoj Žižek’s critical analysis of the phenomenon of violence in his book Violence. Six sideways refections (2009), where his distinction between “subjective” and “objective” violence is of particular relevance to the question outlined above. While both of these approaches (which are primarily con- cerned with questions of ideology) are useful tools in any analysis of how Western news media cover cases of violence, they lack a theoretical perspective of the story format, which is almost always the form in which an individual phenomenon of violence is repre- sented and circulated.

Views expressed and conclusions reached in this study should be ascribed to the author and are not necessarily shared by any of these institutions. I would also like to thank the following people: My supervisor, Prof AM De Lange, for his support through complicated times and his willingness to stick out his neck.

John Harrison, William Gibson, Jeff Noon This thesis starts from the observation that, while it is common for commentators to divide postmodern fiction into two general fields – one experimental and anti-mimetic, the other cautiously mimetic, there remains a fairly significant field of postmodern texts that use largely mimetic approaches but represent worlds that are categorically distinct from actuality.
