  • Sexuality, Blood, Imperialism and the Mytho-Celtic Origins of Dracula
    Droch Fhola: Sexuality, Blood, Imperialism and the Mytho-Celtic Origins of Dracula Author: Joseph A Mendes Persistent link: http://hdl.handle.net/2345/399 This work is posted on eScholarship@BC, Boston College University Libraries. Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2005 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. 1 Introduction: Dracula. Drac-ula . It is hard to ignore the menace in the name, the morbid delight one gets in pronouncing a name that is riddled with such meaning. At some level, human society is fascinated with the notion of a vampire: a revenant that ret urns from beyond the grave to extract the blood of the living in order to extend its unholy life. It plays on our basic fears as humans, the fear of the dead, the fear of dying, the fear of the unknown, and a fascination with this substance consisting of p lasma, platelets, and cells that runs through our veins. Bram Stoker took all of these fears to new heights when he wrote Dracula , one of the most enduring horror stories to ever be composed. The novel has generated enormous criticism that has chiefly been divided into the camps of Irishness, colonialism/imperialism, and sexuality. Whether it was intentional or not, Stoker’s novel is a breeding ground for almost every sexual fetish, deviance, and perversion that is known to mankind. Characters in the novel engage in mutilation, blood-drinking, perverted fellation, sexual acts in front of their spouse, female domination, male domination, group rape, homosexuality, male penetration, and sadomasochism.

  • Symphony of the Night,Castlevania
    Uno sguardo a Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Castlevania è una delle saghe più classiche e importanti del landscape videoludico, una serie di giochi avvincenti che nel tempo si sono saputi reinventare, ponendo ai giocatori sfide sempre nuove grazie a meccaniche sempre fresche e innovative. I recenti successi delKickstarter di Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, avviato dal padrino della saga Koji Igarashi e il già uscito Curse of the Moon hanno spinto Konami a rivedere la loro IP dall’alto in basso in modo da riportare la storica saga dei cacciatori di vampiri al suo originale splendore, anche se con risultati hit or miss: l’anno scorso abbiamo visto l’eccellente serie anime su Netflix basata su Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse (di cui dal 26 Ottobre saremo in grado di vedere la seconda stagione) un nuovo gioco su iPhone, Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls, ancora in beta ma comunque non ben visto dai giocatori, ma soprattutto il recente annuncio diCastlevania: Requiem, una collection contenente i due capitoli della sub-sagaDracula X, cioè Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, gioco originariamente concepito per PC-Engine CD, e lo storico Castlevania: Symphony of the Night per PlayStation. Quest’ultimo è stato in grado di rilanciare la saga in un landscape di giochi in 3D, un titolo che ha letteralmente gridato al mondo che con le formule classiche dei giochi in 2D si poteva fare ancora molto e, se oggi i sidescroller dai gusti retrò sono molto popolari, che siano platformer nel senso più classico o metroidvania, lo si deve in grossa parte a titoli come questi.

  • Revampings of Dracula in Contemporary Fiction
    Revampings of Dracula in Contemporary Fiction Margaret L Carter [Margaret L Carter, author of The Vampire in Literature: A Critical Bibliography and editor of Dracula: The Vampire and the Critics, has recently published Different Blood: The Vampire as Alien (www.xlibris.com/DifferentBlood.html).] Although Count Dracula is slain in the final pages of Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, throughout the subsequent century he has enjoyed innumerable resurrections in film and literature. Many of these incarnations might be unrecognizable to Stoker as the character he created. Fictional treatments of Dracula, especially those that have appeared within the past thirty years, reflect changes in attitudes toward vampires in general. In contrast to the characterization of vampires in Stoker’s own fiction and that of his contemporaries, in recent decades various authors have rendered these “monsters” sympathetically. Earlier nineteenth-century works do contain a few hints of sympathy for their vampire characters. They inspire sympathy or attraction, however, despite their inhuman nature rather than because of it. They still must be destroyed. The eponymous monster in Varney the Vampyre (1847) displays remorse for his bloodthirsty past and finally commits suicide by leaping into a volcano. Carmilla, in J Sheridan Le Fanu’s novella (1872), presents herself initially as victim rather than predator, and the narrator, Laura, finds her attractive, yet Carmilla’s existence nevertheless ends in violent destruction. Nina Auerbach characterizes pre-Stoker vampires as “not demon lovers or snarling aliens ... but singular friends” in a literary period when “it was a privilege to walk with a vampire” (13). This “sinister, superior sharer” enjoys an “intimate intercourse with mortals,” even though a “dangerously close” one (13).

  • Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls Per Ios
    Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls per iOS. I perché di tali scelte Konami ha fatto un po’ di fatica da quando Hideo Kojima ha lasciato la compagnia che ha dato i natali al suo Metal Gear e altre popolarissime serie come Contra, Ganbare Goemon e Silent Hill; sono diversi anni ormai che il popolarissimo developer cerca di trovare una propria identità all’interno della scena videoludica. In fondo, si fa viva quando c’è da lanciare qualche nuova IP come il recentissimo Metal Gear Survival o l’annuale Pro Evolution Soccer anche se, specialmente per i fatti relativi al licenziamento di Kojima, non sembrano entusiasmare mai i fan. A ogni modo non è che lo storico developer non abbia titoli da sfornare o non sia pronto per un ritorno in grande stile: i fan ebbero un barlume di speranza quando, nel 2015, Konami lanciò un sondaggio che chiedeva agli utenti quali fossero i titoli che più conoscevano e, un primo risultato si vide con l’uscita di Super Bomberman R per Nintendo Switch, un titolo addirittura ripescato dalle IP di Hudson Soft (compagnia che Konami comprò nel 2012). In questi giorni è apparso un nuovo probabile frutto di quel sondaggio, il ritorno di una delle saghe più amate di sempre: Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls. La popolare saga degli ammazza-vampiri è in stallo da Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2, un bel gioco ma che, come i precedenti Lords of Shadows e Lords of Shadows: Mirror of Fate, portò la saga in acque sconosciute. Koji Igarashi, lo storico direttore che diresse la saga dopo il leggendario Symphony of the Night, lasciò Konami perché contrario alla loro decisione di metterlo dietro allo sviluppo di titoli mobile distogliendolo, se non altro, dalla sua visione di Castlevania in favore di MercurySteam (gli sviluppatori dietro agli ultimi tre capitoli della saga) che non vedeva di buon occhio.

  • Dracula's Bloodline: a Florescu Family Saga Radu R
    Dracula's Bloodline: A Florescu Family Saga Radu R. Florescu, Matei Cazacu Click here if your download doesn"t start automatically Dracula's Bloodline: A Florescu Family Saga Radu R. Florescu, Matei Cazacu Dracula's Bloodline: A Florescu Family Saga Radu R. Florescu, Matei Cazacu This engrossing book tells the story of the Florescu family, from its feudal blood ties, to the notorious 15th century figure Vlad Tepes (Count Dracula), right up to present day, touching on such diverse personalities as the Kennedys, Bill Clinton, and Michael Jackson. In the tradition of Alex Haley’s Roots, Dracula’s Bloodline relates a multi-generational saga through the prism of one family’s narrative, from medieval Eastern Europe to the post-Communist era. The book provides an inside look at Romania’s bloody and turbulent history—a mostly untold narrative that embraces the cruel Ottoman invasions, vying boyars seeking to change the political order at home, and the toppling of the Ceausescu regime. The story of each century is told through the eyes of one Florescu (or more) who had a unique perch from which to view his or her contemporary society. Florescu and Cazacu drew on research that had mostly been kept in family hands. To track the Florescu footprint down through the centuries since the 1400s, they used many sources: the Brasov archives in Transylvania, select letters, unpublished diaries, and extensive family documents that have been scattered from Europe to the United States. This fully indexed book offers many photographs from family archives, as well as a glossary of terms and titles, and a full genealogy showing the Florescu’s family links to Vlad Tepes.
