Formulating Western Fiction in Garrett Touch of Texas
AWEJ for Translation & Literary Studies, Volume 2, Number 2, May 2018 Pp. 142 -155 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.24093/awejtls/vol2no2.10 Formulating Western Fiction in Garrett Touch of Texas Elisabeth Ngestirosa Endang Woro Kasih Faculty of Art and Education, Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia, Bandarlampung, Indonesia Abstract Western fiction as one of the popular novels has some common conventions such as the setting of life in frontier filled with natural ferocity and uncivilized people. This type of fiction also has a hero who is usually a ranger or cowboy. This study aims to find a Western fiction formula and look for new things that may appear in the novel Touch of Texas as a Western novel. Taking the original convention of Cooper’s Leatherstocking Tales, this study also looks for the invention and convention of Touch of Texas by using Cawelti’s formula theory. The study finds that Garrett's Touch of Texas not only features a natural malignancy against civilization, a ranger as a single hero, and a love story, but also shows an element of revenge and the other side of a neglected minority life. A hero or ranger in this story comes from a minority group, a mixture of white blood and Indians. The romance story also shows a different side. The woman in the novel is not the only one to be saved, but a Ranger is too, especially from the wounds and ridicule of the population as a ranger of mixed blood. The story ends with a romantic tale between Jake and Rachel. Further research can be done to find the development of western genre with other genres such as detective and mystery. -
Tragedy After Darwin by Manya Lempert a Dissertation Submitted In
Tragedy after Darwin by Manya Lempert A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Dorothy Hale, Chair Professor Ann Banfield Professor Catherine Gallagher Professor Barry Stroud Summer 2015 Abstract Tragedy after Darwin by Manya Lempert Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Dorothy Hale, Chair Tragedy after Darwin is the first study to recognize novelistic tragedy as a sub-genre of British and European modernism. I argue that in response to secularizing science, authors across Europe revive the worldview of the ancient tragedians. Hardy, Woolf, Pessoa, Camus, and Beckett picture a Darwinian natural world that has taken the gods’ place as tragic antagonist. If Greek tragic drama communicated the amorality of the cosmos via its divinities and its plots, the novel does so via its characters’ confrontations with an atheistic nature alien to redemptive narrative. While the critical consensus is that Darwinism, secularization, and modernist fiction itself spell the “death of tragedy,” I understand these writers’ oft-cited rejection of teleological form and their aesthetics of the momentary to be responses to Darwinism and expressions of their tragic philosophy: characters’ short-lived moments of being stand in insoluble conflict with the expansive time of natural and cosmological history. The fiction in this study adopts an anti-Aristotelian view of tragedy, in which character is not fate; character is instead the victim, the casualty, of fate. And just as the Greek tragedians depict externally wrought necessity that is also divorced from mercy, from justice, from theodicy, Darwin’s natural selection adapts species to their environments, preserving and destroying organisms, with no conscious volition and no further end in mind – only because of chance differences among them. -
Made in America: Exploring the Hollywood Western Red River (1948) – Introductory Lecture
MADE IN AMERICA: EXPLORING THE HOLLYWOOD WESTERN RED RIVER (1948) – INTRODUCTORY LECTURE TRANSCRIPT Introductory Lecture: Red River (1948) Welcome to the Western. I’m glad you can be here today. Red River (1948) is a 1948 Western film produced by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne and Montgomery Clift. The film’s supporting cast features Walter Brennan, Joanne Dru, Colleen Gray, Harry Carey, John Ireland, Hank Worden, Noah Beery, Jr., Harry Carey Jr., and Paul Fix. The screenplay was based on Borden Chase’s original story which was first serialized in The Saturday Evening Post in 1946 as “Blazing Guns on the Chisholm Trail.” The movie’s ending differs from that of the original story. In Chase’s Saturday Evening Post’s story, Cherry Valance shoots Tom Dunson dead in Abilene and Matt takes his body back to Texas to be buried on the ranch. Red River cost an estimated $3 million to make it did very well at the box office. In 1948, it grossed $5 and a half million domestically and worldwide it made over $9 million. It was a very, very popular movie. The film is also an art movie. It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Film Editing by Christian Nyby and Best Writing Motion Picture Story by Borden Chase. John Ford was so impressed with John Wayne’s performance in Red River that he is reported to have said I didn’t know the big son of a bitch could act. In June 2008, the American Film Institute listed Red River as the fifth best film in the Western genre. -

Hero, Non-Hero, and Anti-Hero Critical Study Of
HERO, NON-HERO, AND ANTI-HERO CRITICAL STUDY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHEN JIANGONG'S FICTION By HU LINGYI THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of Asian Studies) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1990 0 Hu Lingyi In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This M.A. thesis is a critical study of Chen Jiangong's fiction, chiefly attempting to reveal the process of thematic development in this author's works by way of tracing the hero through non-hero to anti-hero. The first chapter, which is biographical, makes a brief account of Chen's family background, personal experience as well as the unique personality fostered by his ten year career as a coal-miner. The second chapter presents an. analysis of the thematic defects of his early fiction, and meanwhile some technical matters are succinctly introduced. The third chapter deals with the stylistic traits -- subject matter, narrative technique and language -- of the three stories which J «f t untouched in the previous chapter due to their different way of representation. -
Futures Dreaming Outside and on the Margins of the Western World I
Futures 35 (2003) 493–507 www.elsevier.com/locate/futures Essay Futures dreaming outside and on the margins of the western world I. Milojevic a,1, S. Inayatullah b,∗ a The University of Queensland, 4072 Brisbane, Australia b Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of the Sunshine Coast, Maroochydore DC, 4558 Queensland, Australia Abstract In this article, we challenge the hegemony of western science fiction, arguing that western science fiction is particular even as it claims universality. Its view remains based on ideas of the future as forward time. In contrast, in non-western science fiction the future is seen outside linear terms: as cyclical or spiral, or in terms of ancestors. In addition, western science fiction has focused on the good society as created by technological progress, while non-western science fiction and futures thinking has focused on the fantastic, on the spiritual, on the realiz- ation of eupsychia—the perfect self. However, most theorists assert that the non-west has no science fiction, ignoring Asian and Chinese science fiction history, and western science fiction continues to ‘other’ the non-west as well as those on the margins of the west (African–American woman, for example). Nonetheless, while most western science fiction remains trapped in binary opposites— alien/non-alien; masculine/feminine; insider/outsider—writers from the west’s margins are cre- ating texts that contradict tradition and modernity, seeking new ways to transcend difference. Given that the imagination of the future creates the reality of tomorrow, creating new science fictions is not just an issue of textual critique but of opening up possibilities for all our futures. -
