Lewis Carroll: Author, Mathematician, and Christian

Lewis Carroll: Author, Mathematician, and Christian David L. Neuhouser Mathematics Department Taylor University Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), better known as Lewis Carroll, is best known as the creative and imaginative author of the Alice stories, but he was also a mathematician at Christ Church College, Oxford University and a devout Christian. His mathematics, especially mathematical logic, contributed much to the charming “nonsense” in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. However, his Christian thought is not evident in those books. In fact, they contain many parodies of morality poems for children. As a result of reading just these books, one might conclude that he was not even interested in morality. But to those who knew him personally, he seemed to be a rather pious, stodgy person. Also, he wrote essays and letters in defense of morality and Christianity as well as books and articles on mathematics. His writings on morality showed little of his literary imagination and his writings on mathematics give no indication of his Christianity. Only in Sylvie and Bruno and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded did Dodgson attempt to bring his literary creativity, mathematics, and Christianity all together in one artistic creation. This paper will attempt to answer the following questions. What motivated him to make this attempt and how successful was it? The Alice stories were the first really successful children’s stories which did not have obvious moral teachings. They were just for fun. However he wrote articles and letters against “indecent literature,” joking about sacred things, and immorality in plays. Some projects that he planned but never completed were: selections from the Bible to be memorized, selections from the Bible with pictures for children, and selections from Shakespeare with inappropriate content for young girls deleted.

Annihilating Nihilistic Nonsense Tim Burton Guts Lewis Carroll’S Jabberwocky

Annihilating Nihilistic Nonsense Tim Burton Guts Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky Alice in Wonderland seems to beg for a morbid interpretation. Whether it's Marilyn Manson's "Eat Me, Drink Me," the video game "American McGee's Alice," or Svankmajer's "Alice" and "Jabberwocky," artists love bringing out the darker elements of Alice’s adventures as she wanders among creepy creatures. The 2010 Tim Burton film is the latest twisted adaptation, featuring an older Alice that slays the Jabberwocky. However, unlike the other adaptations, Burton’s adaptation draws most of its grim outlook by gutting Alice in Wonderland of its fundamental core - its nonsense. Alice in Wonderland uses nonsense to liberate, offering frightening amounts of freedom through its playful use of nonsense. However, Burton turns this whimsy into menacing machinations - he pretends to use nonsense for its original liberating purpose but actually uses it for adult plots and preset paths. Burton takes the destructive power of Alice’s insistence for order and amplifies it dramatically, completely removing its original subversive release from societal constraints. Under the façade of paying tribute to Carroll’s whimsical nonsense verse, Burton directly removes nonsense’s anarchic freedom and replaces it with a destructive commitment to sense. This brutal change to both plot and structure turns Alice into a mindless juggernaut, slaying not only the Jabberwock, but also the realm of nonsense, non-linear narrative and real world empires. At first, nonsense in Lewis Carroll’s books seems to just a light-hearted play with language. Even before we come into Wonderland, the idea of nonsense as just a simple child’s diversion is given by the epigraph.

The Female Rebel in Pan's Labyrinth, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

GOTHIC AGENTS OF REVOLT: THE FEMALE REBEL IN PAN'S LABYRINTH, ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND AND THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Michail-Chrysovalantis Markodimitrakis A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2016 Committee: Piya-Pal Lapinski, Advisor Kimberly Coates © 2016 Michail-Chrysovalantis Markodimitrakis All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Piya Pal-Lapinski, Advisor The Gothic has become a mode of transforming reality according to the writers’ and the audiences’ imagination through the reproduction of hellish landscapes and nightmarish characters and occurrences. It has also been used though to address concerns and criticize authoritarian and power relations between citizens and the State. Lewis Carroll’sAlice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass are stories written during the second part of the 19th century and use distinct Gothic elements to comment on the political situation in England as well as the power of language from a child’s perspective. Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth on the other hand uses Gothic horror and escapism to demonstrate the monstrosities of fascism and underline the importance of revolt and resistance against State oppression. This thesis will be primarily concerned with Alice and Ophelia as Gothic protagonists that become agents of revolt against their respective states of oppression through the lens of Giorgio Agamben and Hannah Arendt. I will examine how language and escapism are used as tools by the literary creators to depict resistance against the Law and societal pressure; I also aim to demonstratehow the young protagonists themselves refuse to comply with the authoritarian methods used against them byadult the representatives of Power.
Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky': Non -Sense Not Nonsense 1 Adam Rose, University of Chicago

ARTICLE Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky': non -sense not nonsense 1 Adam Rose, University of Chicago Abstract Although Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky' is traditionally considered to be 'nonsense', such a characterisation ultimately rests on a Western folk notion of language as fundamentally semantico-referential. A more semiotically, and pragmatically, informed view of language and language-use, however, is capable of describing in considerable detail both the means by which a text such as 'Jabberwocky' 'makes sense' and the ends to which such a text can be put. Indeed, such a view shows that some discursive ends are particularly suited to attainment by means of so-called 'nonsense' texts such as 'Jabberwocky'. This article outlines such a view and applies it to 'Jabberwocky', which is thus seen to make both denotational and interactional 'sense'. Keywords: Carroll, Lewis; 'Jabberwocky'; literary pragmatics; poetics: pragmatics; semiotics The analysis of the two closely interconnected synthetic powers of poetry - that of similarity and contiguity and that of selection and combination - is a burning task faced by our science. Any fear of or reluctance about the analysis of poetic transformation of language impairs the scientific program of those linguists who pull back from the pivotal problem of this vital transformation; and likewise it curtails the research of those literary scholars who, in treating poetry, pull back from the innermost problems of language. (Jakobsen and Waugh (1979) The Sound Shape of Langunge, p. 236) I Introduction Since its publication in 1871 as part of Through the Looking Glass, Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky' (see Appendix) has traditionally been considered to be a masterful piece of 'nonsense'.

Alice couldn't help laughing, as she said, "I don't want you to hire me-and I don't care for jam." "It's very good jam," said the Queen. "Well, I don't want any to-day, at any rate." "You couldn't have it if you did want it," the Queen said. "The rule is, jam to-morrow and jam yesterday-but never jam to-day." "It must come sometimes to 'jam to-day,' "Alice objected. "No, it can't," said the Queen. "It's jam every other day: to-day isn't any other day, you know." "I don't understand you,'' said Alice.

With Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865), children’s literature escaped from the grimly moral tone of evangelical tracts to delight in magical worlds populated by talking rabbits and stubborn lobsters. A key work in modern fantasy literature, it is the prototype of the portal quest, in which readers are invited to follow the protagonist into an alternate world of the fantastic. The Alice books are one of the best-known works in world literature. They have been translated into over one hundred languages, and are referenced and cited in academic works and popular culture to this day.
Lewis Carroll: Subversive Pragmaticist 369 Thosewho Do Not Accommodateto "Rational"Systems

Pragmatics3:4.367 -385 InternationalPragmatics Association LEWIS CARROLL: SUBVERSIVEPRAGMATICIST Robin Tolmach Lakoff The field of pragmaticsis broad and diverse;one of its problems,as well as its glories, is the difficulty of defining it so as to cover everythingand satisff everybody.The followingremarks can be consideredone smallcontribution toward making any rigorous definition lessattractive. I like to define pragmaticsas "the interestingstutf about language"- the reason many of us were attracted to linguistics.We wanted to know how languagedid the things it did, to us and for us; why some people used it to get their needs met, and othersto get into variouskinds of trouble;why usinglanguage was sometimesfun, and sometimesfrightening; and so on. As I was reachinglinguistic majority, there was no "linguisticpragmatics": those questionshad to be put aside,as we learned to ask only serious questions: questions that assumed that form alone counted; with the presupposition,I am afraid, that if a question(or its potential answer)was likely to be communicableto a non-specialistor not likely to put such a person immediately to sleep,it was non-linguistics,uninteresting, or too easy. Today I think just the oppositeis true. I think pragmaticsis, and ought to be, the area of study that tells us what we realfy want to know: everythingyou ever wanted to know about languagebut were afraidto ask.Not, that is,everything about language:there is still, of course,phonology, syntax,and the rest of "central"or "core"linguistics. But no responsibleperson is afraid to ask questionsabout those fields. Many of us, however (and even more so, our students)are in somesense or other afraid to articulatethe questionsthey most deeply desirethe answersto, becausethey havegotten the idea that thesequestions aren't sufflcientlyhard-nosed, scientizable, or respectable.I feel,on the contrary,that they are the most respectablequestions anyone can ask,with potentiallythe most important answersanyone can give or get.
