  • Homoeroticism in Neoclassical Poetics: French Translations of the Ideal Male Nude in Late-Eighteenth-Century Word and Image
    Homoeroticism in neoclassical poetics: French translations of the ideal male nude in late-eighteenth-century word and image. Satish Padiyar, University College London, PhD. 1999 BIBL LONDON flnv. 1 Abstract The thesis consists of four chapters, an Introduction and a Conclusion. The Introduction considers the theoretical frameworks within which recent readings of the late-eighteenth-century French homoerotic ideal male nude have been developed; and how these readings have in turn emerged from a wider extra-art-historical discourse on the sexual politics of representation and the representation of sexual politics. A clear picture of the ideal male nude as a contested field emerges; and a justification of the materials which will be used in the thesis clarifies their critical engagement with these polemical debates surrounding the object of study. Chapter 1 is in two parts. Part one deals with the possibilities of a textual representation of homosexuality in French neoclassical poetics by focusing on the notion of 'anacréontisme' as a synonym for 'veiled' homoeroticism. Contrary to the present understanding of the notion, it is argued here, by recourse to successive French translations of the Greek source text, that homosexuality was explicitly problematized in the development of anacréontisme as a critical term, rather than consensually hidden. Part two reviews a social history of homosexuality in eighteenth-century France, in order to contextualize the preceding anacreontic debate. A Kantian reading of the beau ideal, in Chapter 3, attempts to contradict the now dominant understanding of this figure as being simply a high-cultural sign of patriarchal dominance. The chapter traces the philosophical coordinates of the beau ideal from the late seventeenth century until the moment when this figure coincides with the Kantian transcedental aesthetic, and thereby propels it into an anti-ideological space.

    FRANKENSTEIN AND THE INOCULATED READER FRANKENSTEIN; OR THE MODERN PROMETHEUS AND THE INOCULATED READER By JANE L. DROVER, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University (c) Copyright by Jane L. Drover, June 1990 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (1990) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Frankenstein; Or The Modern Prometheus and The Inoculated Reader AUTHOR: Jane Drover, B.A. (McMaster University) M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Joan Coldwell NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 337 ii Abstract My thesis examines the relationship between Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and the Frankenstein myth as it has come to be known because of film. I propose that present-day readers, in addition to having a repository of literary knowledge, also have a reservoir of f ilmic memories on which to draw when they read. These visual 'texts' can function, I argue, not only as inter-texts but also as signs, indicating to us how to read certain written texts. Building on reader-response criticism, I include these visual signs in my analysis of the reading experience of Frankenstein. After outlining a brief history of visualizations of the novel on stage and in film and commenting on the contributions these adaptations gave to the story, I focus on the James Whale classics of 1931 and 1935. It is to. these films that we owe the figures of the Karloffian monster, the hunchbacked assistant, the 'mad' scientist, and the monster's grotesque 'bride.' Having imitated the common order of our exposure to the myth -- that is we know or know of Frankenstein films before we arrive at the novel I define and explain the iii theoretical concepts of narrative and filmic afterimages.

  • The Institution of Modernism and the Discourse of Culture: Hellenism, Decadence, and Authority from Walter Pater to T
    THE INSTITUTION OF MODERNISM AND THE DISCOURSE OF CULTURE: HELLENISM, DECADENCE, AND AUTHORITY FROM WALTER PATER TO T. S ELIOT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by John Calvert-Finn, B.A., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Mark Conroy, Advisor _______________________ Professor Jon Erickson Advisor Department of English Professor David Riede ABSTRACT This project rethinks the forces that shaped English literary modernism by examining the way writers like Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde, T. E. Hulme, Ezra Pound, and T. S. Eliot respond to a crisis of literary authority that emerges from the nineteenth century through the shifting idea of culture. While these writers have been recently studied in terms of the link between literary doctrine and politics, this frame of reference fails to capture the way in which the formulation and reformulation of aesthetic ideas in the early twentieth century is intimately linked to way in which the idea of high culture was complicated by the emergence of the the anthropological culture idea in the nineteenth century. The English moderns discussed here each, in various ways, attempt to exploit the ambiguities of the culture idea in order to reassert the privileged status of the arts. Previously, the authority of European literature had been posited on the basis of Greek ideals as well as religious values. The emergence of anthropology greatly complicated the Victorian understanding of both Christianity and Hellenism, which in turn leaves aesthetics in need of a new form of legitimation.
