Theater is a deeply paradoxical art form: Seen at once as socially constitutive and promoting mass conformity, it is also criticized as denaturalizing, decentering, etiolating, queering, feminizing.

  • Henry James's Worldview in the Ambassadors
    1 HENRY JAMES’S WORLDVIEW IN THE AMBASSADORS: A GENETIC STRUCTURALISM APPROACH RESEARCH PAPER Submitted as a Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Getting Bachelor Degree of Education in English Department by DANANG AGUSTOMO A.320 030 062 SCHOOL OF TEACHER TRAINING AND EDUCATION MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA 2008 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Literature is a social institution, using language as medium of social creation. Furthermore, literature represents life and life is in large measure, a social reality (Wellek 1959: 94). Hence, a literary work which is the author’s creation is an ideal reflection of social reality. The literary work and the author cannot be separated since; the literary work is a reproduction of the author’s mind. The author’s mind is a result of the author’s response towards the social reality where he or she lives. An author lives among the society which he or she associates and mingles with it. As human being an author is like the other people who are influenced by his or her religious conviction, social idea, settlement, culture and convention of his or her culture. However, an author does not always in harmony or agrees with the social circumstances in his or her society. He or she can also require a different view on it. The different view toward his or her social life force him or her to change and shape the behavior and the social view of his or her society. An author expresses his or her view by creating a work art.

Writing Adolescence: Coming of Age in and Through What Maisie Knew, Lolita, and Wide Sargasso Sea Amy Lankester-Owen Introduction Adolescence, the transition from childhood to adulthood, is a turbulent time of rapid physical growth and sexual development. It also constitutes a critical phase in the formation of identity and vocation. In what follows I shall explore the ways in which representations of adolescence in three literary novels – Henry James’s What Maisie Knew (1897), Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita (1955), and Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea (1966) – both reflect and shape their authors’ writing lives. My analysis is supported throughout by psychological theories of adolescence, and draws in particular on the psychosocial developmental theory of Erik H. Erikson. In their autobiographies Henry James, Vladimir Nabokov, and Jean Rhys each participate in different ways in the literary tradition of ‘auto/biographical’ writing identified by Laura Marcus.[1] All three authors stress the importance of adolescence as a defining and critical period in their own writing lives.

If it be ever of interest and profit to put one's finger on the productive germ of a work of art, and if in fact a lucid account of any such work involves that prime identification, I can but look on the present fiction as a poor fatherless and motherless, a sort of unregistered and unacknowledged birth. I fail to recover my precious first moment of consciousness of the idea to which it was to give form; to recognise in it--as I like to do in general--the effect of some particular sharp impression or concussion.

  • THE ASPERN PAPERS by Henry James
    THE ASPERN PAPERS By Henry James I I had taken Mrs. Prest into my confidence; in truth without her I should have made but little advance, for the fruitful idea in the whole business dropped from her friendly lips. It was she who invented the short cut, who severed the Gordian knot. It is not supposed to be the nature of women to rise as a general thing to the largest and most liberal view—I mean of a practical scheme; but it has struck me that they sometimes throw off a bold conception—such as a man would not have risen to— with singular serenity. "Simply ask them to take you in on the footing of a lodger"—I don't think that unaided I should have risen to that. I was beating about the bush, trying to be ingenious, wondering by what combination of arts I might become an acquaintance, when she offered this happy suggestion that the way to become an acquaintance was first to become an inmate. Her actual knowledge of the Misses Bordereau was scarcely larger than mine, and indeed I had brought with me from England some definite facts which were new to her. Their name had been mixed up ages before with one of the greatest names of the century, and they lived now in Venice in obscurity, on very small means, unvisited, unapproachable, in a dilapidated old palace on an out-of-the- way canal: this was the substance of my friend's impression of them. She herself had been established in Venice for fifteen years and had done a great deal of good there; but the circle of her benevolence did not include the two shy, mysterious and, as it was somehow supposed, scarcely respectable Americans (they were believed to have lost in their long exile all national quality, besides having had, as their name implied, some French strain in their origin), who asked no favors and desired no attention.

    The Trouble With Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels by Blair Nosan The Trouble With Paradise: Exploring Communities of Difference in Three American Novels by Blair Nosan A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Spring 2008 © March 17, 2008 Blair Elizabeth Nosan Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor, Anne Herrmann, for her discerning eye and her vital input throughout this writing process. Scotti Parrish for her encouragement and willingness to devote time and concern to the entire thesis cohort. Her support has been indispensable. And Megan Sweeney for her inspiration, and her suggestion of resources—including two of the three novels I have analyzed as primary sources. I am indebted to Eileen Pollack, who was willing to meet with me and provide a personal interview, which was central to my analysis of her work. I have also benefited from the support of my roommates, Peter Schottenfels, Jacob Nathan, and Anna Bernstein, who have provided me with a respite, which was often greatly needed. To my friend Claire Smith who edited this essay in its entirety, and to Nicole Cohen, the 2008 honors cohort, and my sister Loren: these individuals devoted their time and effort to my project and I am very grateful. Finally, I want to thank my family, who not only supported my decision to remain at university for an extra year in order to pursue this very thesis, but also for providing me with emotional guidance throughout this rollercoaster of an experience.

  • Black Novel’ and Women As Borderland Identities Nicoletta Vallorani Doi
    Speaking Bodies The ‘Black Novel’ and Women as Borderland Identities Nicoletta Vallorani doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.7359/826-2017-vall Abstract Analysing the main female characters in two contemporary novels (Derek Ray- mond’s I Was Dora Suarez 1990 and Chris Abani’s Becoming Abigail 2006), I would propose a reflection on the female violated body showing how it is posited at the intersection between two combined influences: the consideration of the female body as a commodity undergoing the dynamics of economic exchange quite typi- cal of a consumer society and the exploitation of this very body as a tool to com- municate when any other language is made unavailable. It is my position that these influences are interlaced and often function together in some contemporary narratives. Though profoundly different and far apart in several respects, I Was Dora Suarez and Becoming Abigail provide two effective examples of how the female body may work as a hieroglyph handed to the reader so as to develop new cognitive paths for the interpretation of the woman’s role in the community. Keywords: alien body, commodity, female body, semiosis. 1. Shades, or the female body on the crossover In 2000, Eric Gans writes an essay basically devoted to punk aesthetics and the practice of piercing and explains how a ritual born as a highly provocative rebellion against ordinary ethics soon becomes an “exemplary case of the post-modern market society’s drive to generate significance” (Gans 2000, 164).
