  • The Evolution of the Vampire Figure in English and American Literature As Social and Economic Symbol of Contemporary Western Masculine Identity”
    DOCTORAL THESIS 2015 “The Evolution of the Vampire Figure in English and American Literature as Social and Economic Symbol of Contemporary Western Masculine Identity” Kristian Pérez Zurutuza English Philology Graduate UNED Department of Foreign Philologies and their Linguistics Philology Faculty Thesis Director: Dr. Antonio Andrés Ballesteros González Department of Foreign Philologies and their Linguistics Philology Faculty “The Evolution of the Vampire Figure in English and American Literature as Social and Economic Symbol of Contemporary Western Masculine Identity” Kristian Pérez Zurutuza English Philology Graduate Thesis Director: Dr. Antonio Andrés Ballesteros González Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest gratitude and respect, first and foremost, to my thesis director, Dr. Antonio Andrés Ballesteros, whose careful and wise guidance, counselling, and patience have shown me the necessary tools when tackling such research endeavour. Alongside his academical guidance, his passion must be addressed regarding vampires as creatures of the human mind with literary and/or anthopological significance, for that is what the ultimate target of this research thesis is, beyond its academical value and significance; to give account of a myth rooted deep in the human soul. Without any of the mentioned here would this thesis be the same. Equal gratefulness is deserved by my friend beyond appreciation, Dr. Rodrigo Carcedo, whose guidance was paramount when addressing whatever aspect regarding vampire psychology. Besides a great psychologist and scholar, he bears a especial place in my heart. True example of friendship. My deepest gratefulness to Itziar Mujika as well, amazing and challenging student of mine, true friend, and superb journalist and researcher into women’s role in peaceful resolutions of war conflicts.

REORIENTING THE FEMALE GOTHIC: CURIOSITY AND THE PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE BY JENNA GUITAR A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ENGLISH UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2020 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DISSERTATION OF JENNA GUITAR APPROVED: Dissertation Committee: Major Professor Jean Walton Christine Mok Justin Wyatt Nasser H. Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2020 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the mode of the Female Gothic primarily by examining how texts utilize the role of curiosity and the pursuit of knowledge, paying close attention to how female characters employ these attributes. Existing criticism is vital to understanding the Female Gothic and in presenting the genealogy of feminist literary criticism, and yet I argue, this body of criticism often produces elements of essentialism. In an attempt to avoid and expose the biases that essentialism produces, I draw from Sara Ahmed’s theory of queer phenomenology to investigate the connections between the way that women pursue and circulate knowledge through education and reading and writing practices in the Female Gothic.

The actual day of his birth is still in question. Some claim it was November 23, 1859 while others (such as writer Ash Upson who helped Pat Garrett pen his memoirs), insist the date was November 21, 1859 (which also happened to be Upson's birthday). Whatever the case, it is generally agreed that William McCarty was born in late 1859. Several historians claim young William's real father was named Bonney, which may account for his use of the name as an alias in later years. Young William's mother, Catherine, later married a man by the name of Henry McCarty, who became the father of William’s younger brother, Joseph.

    Making monsters: Gothic Processes and Metaphors in Contemporary Art Lecture Gilda Williams 28 Oct 2009, University of Westminster 1. Endless varieties of Gothic ‘There is a lot of second-rate work these days that illustrates Goth motifs, wearing gloom on its sleeves with big winks for everyone.’ – Ralph Rugoff, frieze, 20041 a dark strain of contemporary art gothic-themed exhibitions 2 and publications3 in the US and the UK, and a March 2009 auction at Sotheby’s, 1) spooky motifs such as skulls, bones, tombstones, shrouds, devils; 13) references to horror film; atmospheric, often elaborate interiors suggestive of a haunted house; 16) knights; castles; pointed arches, stained glass and other medieval or Shakespearean motifs; 2) Goth subculture; 3) adolescence, often evoked in labour-intensive, obsessive and overwrought (‘psychedelic’) drawings; 4) monstrous combinations of human and animal forms, or the organic and the inorganic, in ‘Frankenstinian’ creations; 5) mirrors, masks and doubles; 6) references to 19th century gothic novelists, particularly Edgar Allan Poe; 7) evocations of death, decay and nostalgia; 8) blood; matted hair; dissections; amputations and prosthetics; 9) exotic settings and details, tending towards a Victorian, Egyptian or Orientalist flavour; 10) erotica obliquely suggestive of sado-masochism, often in illustration and cartoon; 11) demonic children and children/doll/animal hybrids; 12) demonic animals, particularly bats, leopards, rats; flies and insects, sometimes dead or dying; 14) texts in gothic typeface; 15) ruins; desolate or dream landscapes; phantom cities; 17) shadowy or clouded images and projections; night scenes; 18) a predominance of the colour black from medieval architecture to 18th-19th century literarature, from mid-20th century B-films to late 20th century goth subcultural style 2.

    A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD: CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND THE MOBILIZATION OF MORALLY TAINTED CULTURAL RESOURCES Elena Dalpiaz Imperial College Business School Imperial College London South Kensington Campus London SW7 2AZ Tel: +44 (0)20 7594 1969 Email: [email protected] Valeria Cavotta Free University of Bolzano School of Economics and Management Piazza Università 1 39100 - Bozen-Bolzano Tel: +39.0471.013522 Email: [email protected] This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article forthcoming in "Innovation: Organization & Management”. 1 Abstract We aim to highlight a type of cultural entrepreneurship, which has received scant attention by prior scholarship, and consists in deploying morally tainted cultural resources, i.e., resources that some audiences assess as going against accepted principles of morality. We argue that this type of cultural entrepreneurship is a double-edged sword and explain how it may ignite active opposition of offended audiences, as well as attract supportive audiences. We delineate a research agenda to shed light on whether, how, and with what consequences cultural entrepreneurs navigate such a tension — in particular how they 1) mobilize morally tainted cultural resources and with what effect on offended audiences; 2) deal with the consequent legitimacy challenges; 3) transform moral taint into “coolness” to enhance their venture’s distinctiveness. Keywords: cultural entrepreneurship, morality, legitimacy, distinctiveness, cultural resources 2 Introduction Cultural entrepreneurship consists in the deployment of cultural resources to start up new ventures or pursue new market opportunities in established ventures (see Gehman & Soubliere, 2017 for a recent review). Cultural resources are meaning systems such as “stories, frames, categories, rituals, practices” and symbols that constitute the culture of a given societal group (Giorgi, Lockwood, & Glynn, 2015, 13).

(Going up we averaged 45 miles per hour, but never actually went 45 miles per hour--it was either 10 miles per hour or 70 miles per hour, and when it was 10, the heater was going full blast because the engine was over-heating.)

  • The Grotesque of the Gothic: from Poe to the Present
    Phillips 1 The Grotesque of the Gothic: From Poe to the Present A Four-Week Instructional Unit Plan designed by Amy Dyster Phillips ELAN 7408 Dr. Smagorinsky University of Georgia Fall, 2007 The Grotesque of the Gothic Phillips 2 Amy Phillips Dr. Smagorinsky ELAN 7408 Unit Rationale: The Grotesque of the Gothic: From Poe to the Present “Gothic” or “Goth” is a term still used today, but where did it come from? What does Gothic really mean? Why does dressing “Goth” imply wearing all or mostly black? And why are spooky images associated with both? Edgar Allen Poe had a lot to do with this. The Gothic genre, though having originated in England, was brought to America by Poe and the literary culture as we then knew it was transformed. This four-week unit is designed to outline for students the historical background of the Gothic, including biographical information on Poe’s life. Students will examine and analyze how the Gothic has changed from Poe’s time until now, and wrestle with questions such as “what is attractive about the emotional experience of fear”? In other words, “why do you enjoy scary movies?” Gothic (or gothick), a term originally used to describe that which was barbaric or barbarian, comes from the word Goth, the name of the Germanic tribes who destroyed Rome and wreaked havoc on the rest of Europe in the third through fifth centuries. Later, because of the architecture that flourished in Europe during the Middle Ages known for its non-classical style, the term Gothic came to take on other meanings, synonymous with Middle Ages and medieval.

CONTENTS PAGE Introduction vii Spring’s Awakening (Fruhlingserwachen) 1 Earth-Spirit (Erdgeist) Ill Pandora’s Box (Buchse der Pandora) . 217 Damnation! (Tod und Teufel) ...... 305 INTRODUCTION Frank Wedekind’s name is widely, if vaguely, known by now, outside of Germany, and at least five of his plays have been available in English form for qui^e some years, yet a resume of biographical facts and critical opinions seems necessary as introduction to this—I will not say authoritative, but more care- ful—book. The task is genial, since Wedekind was my special study at Munich in 1913, and I translated his two Lulu tragedies the year after. The timidity or disapprobation betrayed in this respect by our professional critics of foreign drama makes my duty the more imperative. James Huneker merely called him “a naughty boy !” Percival Pollard tiptoed around him, pointing out a trait here and a trait there, like a menagerie-keeper with a prize tiger.
