  • Folklore and Identity in DRACULA Michael Harney
    Filología y Lingüística 38 (1): 63-81, 2012 ISSN: 0377-628X FOLKLOre anD IDentitY in DRACULA Michael Harney RESUMEN Drácula, de Bram Stoker, emplea ciertos motivos folcklóricos para expresar varios temas agrupados bajo el título de angustia hegemónica En la historia de imperialismo invertido de Stoker, el vampiro intruso, en una especie de inversión carnavalesca, interpreta el rol del Cortés histórico o el cautivo del Quijote. Las principales víctimas de Drácula, Lucy y Mina, nos recuerdan a La Malinche, la Zoraida de Cervantes, y otros ejemplos antiguos y medievales de princesas nativas secuestradas. Palabras clave: hegemonía, vampirismo, Drácula, Stoker- Bram, princesa nativa. ABSTRACT Bram Stoker's Dracula employs certain folkloric motifs to express a set of themes grouped under the heading of hegemonic angst. In Stoker's tale of reverse imperialism, the vampiric invader, in a kind of carnivalesque inversion, plays the role of the historical Cortés or the Quijote's captive. Dracula's chief victims, Lucy and Mina, remind us of La Malinche, Cervantes's Zoraida, and other ancient and medieval examples of the sequestered native princess. Key words: hegemony, vampirism, Dracula, Stoker- Bram, native princess. The present discussion does not attempt a comprehensive history of the vampire legend, nor an extensive study of variations on vampire themes within the horror genre. This essay aims, rather, to review certain folkloric affinities of Stoker’s novel. These affinities play out in a characteristic vampiric storyline that repeats in the many remakes, versions, and variations that have appeared in the century intervening since the publication of Stoker’s Michael Harney. Associate Professor.

  • William Golding's Lord of the Flies: a Satirical Analysis of Fantasized
    William Golding's Lord of the Flies: A Satirical Analysis of Fantasized Dystopia [PP: 163-171] Sayed Mohammad Anoosheh Department of English Literature, Faculty of Humanities, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran Muhammad Hussein Oroskhan Department of English Literature, Faculty of Humanities, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Fars, Iran ABSTRACT The eruption of two world wars marked a period of transition in which the intellectual and artistic environment underwent a drastic change. Such a gloomy era provided the inevitable situation for the fiction-writer to switch to new and bold fictional modes. Under such circumstances, the adoption of fantasy became one of the most interesting, satisfying and effective forms for projecting the modern novelist's vision. Fantasy can work as the most suitable board on which the fictional writer can apply his satirical vision and negate the value of our sense experiences. Indeed, Fantasy seems to be the exact mode through which writers of the genre can proceed effectively along their chosen path. As such, William Golding in his monumental work, Lord of the Flies, has tried to show a fantastic representation of Modern man's nature which leads him inevitably to savagery. Golding has created a dystopia by diminishing the adults to children to show that the modern man who denies the spiritual values is doomed to failure. Hence, in this paper tries to apply the technique of diminution, an oft- repeated technique in satirical writing, to prove that the animal side in man is the sole cause of his degradation and degeneration and if this animal side is not kept under control, the society will face injustice, repression, slavery and hatred.

  • SWPACA 2019 Final Program
    Southwest Popular/American Culture Association 40th Annual Conference February 20-23, 2019 — Albuquerque, New Mexico Welcome & 2019 Southwest Popular/American General Info Culture Association Conference ¡Bienvenidos a Albuquerque! We are so pleased to have you with us this week! In 1979, Michael Schoenecke and Peter Rollins began an adventure, founding the Southwest/Texas Popular/American Culture Association and establishing the annual meeting, an event which has continued for forty years and brings us all together this week in Albuquerque. In these decades, thousands of scholars have joined their colleagues in the study and celebration of popular culture, some as first-time conference-goers, others as established scholars in their respective fields. All have contributed to the strength of this conference and organization, and we are honored to have you with us as we celebrate this milestone. This week, we will be reflecting on the foundations upon which the organization, and popular culture studies more broadly, were founded, and we will be looking ahead to the future of the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association, which we trust will be equally long and successful. Please join us Thursday evening at 6:00pm (Grand Pavilion VI) at the annual Peter C. Rollins Book Award and Student Awards Ceremony, where long-time members of the association will share their thoughts on the state of popular culture studies and where we will recognize the next generation of scholars and their work. We are additionally pleased to welcome Pam Houston, author of Cowboys Are My Weakness and the recently-released Deep Creek, among other works, as our conference Keynote speaker, Friday at 7:00pm, following our annual Fire and Ice Reception/40th Anniversary Celebration in Grand Pavilion IV-VI.

  • Utopian and Dystopian Literature: a Comparative Study Dr.P.N.Madhusudana Asst Professor and Head
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 4 Dec 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Utopian and Dystopian Literature: a comparative study Dr.P.N.Madhusudana Asst Professor and Head. Department of English (UG) Government Arts College (Autonomous) Chitradurga Abstract “All utopias are dystopias. The term “dystopia” was coined by fools that believed a “utopia” can be functional.” A.E. Samaan Literature, over the ages, has been influenced by the psychologies of people living in changing times. That is how literature is classified into various genres. The utopia and its derivative, the dystopia, are two such genres (opposite to each other) of literature that explore social and political structures. Where Utopian fiction portrays a setting that agrees with the author’s ethos and is portrayed as having various attributes that readers often find to be characteristic of that which they would like to implement in reality or utopia, as the setting for a novel. Whether in Dystopian fiction, the opposite is the portrayal of a setting that completely disagrees with the author’s ethos and is portrayed as having various attributes that readers often find to be characteristic of that which they would like to avoid in reality, or dystopia. Many novels combine both, often as a metaphor for the different directions humanity can explore, ending up with one of two possible futures. Both utopias and dystopias are commonly found in science fiction and other speculative fiction genres, and arguably are by definition a type of speculative fiction. “Utopia” and “dystopia” are actually two sides of a coin. Generally, these picture a science fiction setting of two extreme points.
