Semejante presentación me obliga a explicar debidamente a qué se debe esta declaración algo atípica para introducir un trabajo académico, en este caso el TFM, para que salgan de su asombro inicial o queden instalados en éste. Considérense pues las líneas que siguen una humilde prescripción o disculpa si se quiere —por las licencias tomadas— para afrontar lo que en adelante acontezca. Es este preciso instante en el que el cursor parpadea cadencioso y, obviamente, ajeno y despreocupado en su función a las tribulaciones, inquietudes y miedos que atenazan al que esto escribe, el escogido como propicio para dar comienzo a la redacción del TFM, requisito para valorar la aptitud del alumno y obtener una titulación específca. A priori puede parecer de perogrullo, que lo es, sí. Pero, si se me permite, debo añadir un dato que he omitido por aquello de mantener el suspense: han transcurrido 7 días ya desde que entráramos en junio y estos son los primeros y sufridos renglones que logro plasmar en un documento digital. Y no es que no haya escrito nada hasta el momento; bien al contrario, me encuentro ante un horror mayúsculo y de difícil (di)gestión al contabilizar no menos de 300 páginas manuscritas arrebatadamente, la mayor parte de las cuales corresponden a citas extraídas de una cantidad de libros cuya cifra exacta prefero no hacer constar por aquello de no hurgar más en la herida, de no alimentar más la intrusa y lustrosa ansiedad a la que sirvo de alojamiento desde hace semanas, meses. Se diría que me hallo en un punto de no retorno y que las expectativas se están volviendo por momentos evanescentes, traslúcidas. Yo, en cambio, simplemente optaré por pensar que “alimento” al monstruo. Muy probablemente, quien esto lea se pregunte pertinentemente qué motivo/motivos condujeron a servidor a un desbordamiento tan extremo, tan atroz; a lo que me gustaría responder, si se me permite, con estoicidad y tono solemne, que se debe a un proceso de investigación artística concienzudamente preparado y puesto en práctica con el rigor, el orden y la precisión exigidos por cualquier trabajo riguroso que se precie. Por el contrario y, espero que la honestidad de la que hago acopio sea considerada un atenuante, el despropósito informe que ha devorado con la misma fruición palabras, tinta, grafto, horas y días, parece exigir su materialización —cual criatura de Frankenstein despiezada— sin discusión que valga; imponiendo su ominosa voluntad mediante mi persona. De nada serviría que tratase de excusarme enumerando los intentos de dar salida a la exigencia académica con la elaboración de pavorosas fgurillas o vaciando metódicamente cada mañana las medias naranjas una vez exprimidas y consumido su jugo. Aunque puede que —sólo puede que— llegados a este punto cobren sentido; las primeras como agoreras a pequeña escala del fracaso venidero; las segundas como terrorífca alegoría del juicio que opta por marchar para no volver… Si de algo se puede califcar la situación —además de ridículamente risible— es de acuciante y abocada más a lo peor que a la obtención de unos resultados satisfactorios, al menos a priori. Incapacidad, indecisión, procrastinación, temor, obstinación,…podría seguir así hasta completar al menos mil quinientas palabras más, mas !3 no sería sino otro paso insignifcante de veras para aspirar a cubrir las entre veinticinco mil y cuarenta mil palabras que me separan de, como mínimo, cumplir el requisito de extensión. sin embargo, con la dignidad —si la hubiere— que todavía pueda atesorar, me dispongo al abordaje y la tarea que supone suturar todas las partes del monstruo esperando que cada órgano y cada miembro ocupe el lugar que le corresponde. Y tal vez transcurridas unas semanas de inferno autoimpuesto y prometeicos esfuerzos pueda gritar presa de la euforia desmedida: “¡Está vivo!” No quisiera concluir sin antes completar esta introducción tan lastimera como poco protocolaria, introduciendo el ámbito que ha ocupado la investigación —por desmembrada que se encuentre—. Me gustaría tomarme una licencia más y remitirme a una célebre secuencia cinematográfca en la que una bestia escénica como pocas, ya en su madurez profesional y vital, monologaba pausadamente, con gravedad sudorosa entre penumbras oscilantes aludiendo al horror, el Horror. Ese es precisamente el tema que me propongo diseccionar de aquí en adelante sin atender en demasía a la ortodoxia y la convención, confando en que el coronel Kurtz no erraba cuando afrmaba sin titubeos ser el juicio el que nos derrota. 1. Introducción Es frecuente oír hablar de horror, miedo, terror y otras tantas emociones o estados de ánimo que se asocian a las categorías anteriormente referidas sin preguntarnos sobre las particularidades de cada una de estos sentimientos, aquello que lo distingue del resto, su singularidad. El grueso de estas entradas responden principalmente a la fcción, excepciones hechas en forma de titular de noticias por lo general perteneciente a la crónica de sucesos. Realizado el rastreo inicial, se puede entrar en algunos de los portales destinados a la fcción de horror en sus vertientes literaria y cinematográfca comprobándose la gran cantidad de seguidores que participan de forma activa, abanderando su ‘militancia’ y tomando parte de una comunidad virtual que tiene su versión física en festivales especializados y temáticos donde los fans pueden codearse con cineastas y estrellas sintiendo formar parte de “algo grande”. Incluso pueden hallarse certámenes académicos y congresos donde se debaten cuestiones entorno a lo fantástico. ¿Y a qué nos referimos exactamente cuando hablamos de “lo fantástico”? Sin entrar en el proceloso terreno de la validación de concepto esquivos, nos sirve como punto de partida la defnición que ofrece David Roas (2011) cuando explica que «lo fantástico se caracteriza por proponer un conficto entre (nuestra idea de) lo real y lo imposible»; precisando de la inexplicabilidad (no la vacilación, ni la incertidumbre) «para que dicho conficto genere un efecto fantástico.» (30) Puede certifcarse que el terror/horror goza de envidiable forma. Incluso me aventuraría a afrmar que su estado de salud es excepcional si tenemos en cuenta el éxito

RETOUR SUR LA GENÈSE, LA PORTÉE ET LA POSTÉRITÉ D’UNE ŒUVRE PHARE CAMPUS N°124 DOSSIER FRANKENSTEIN 17 l y a tout juste 200 ans, le 16 juin 1816, Mary Shelley, une jeune Anglaise âgée de 18 ans se lance dans la rédaction de ce qu’elle envisage comme « un petit conte I à glacer le sang ». Publié en 1818 avant de sortir dans sa version définitive en 1831, son Frankenstein ou le Prométhée moderne a depuis fait le tour du monde. Première œuvre de science-fiction, cet ouvrage né sur les pentes de Cologny a beau avoir été adapté des centaines de fois, inspirant des artistes de tous horizons, il n’a rien perdu de sa pertinence. Au contraire: les problématiques abordées dans cet ouvrage semblent plus que jamais d’actualité. C’est vrai sur le plan de la médecine, de l’éthique et des limites du savoir scien- tifique mais aussi du climat qui a joué un rôle déterminant dans la genèse de cette histoire. Pour faire le point sur les intuitions étonnamment clairvoyantes de la romancière britannique en cette année anniversaire, l’Université propose un programme copieux où se mêlent colloques scientifiques, conférences, débats, projection de films et expositions.

  • English 2333: an Abbreviated Frankenstein Filmography Dr
    English 2333: An Abbreviated Frankenstein Filmography Dr. Monica Smith [Before this class meeting, students watch the Edison Frankenstein for homework and answer three questions, and we begin class by reviewing these questions: 1) What version of the Creature does this film present: the Creature as monster, the creature as human, or something in between? 2) What aspects of Shelley’s story (characterization, plot detail, setting, imagery) have the filmmakers kept? What has been deleted? To what effect? 3) What role does music play in this film?] Frankenstein (usually called The 1910 Edison Frankenstein) Director J. Searle Dawley. Starring Charles Ogle. Edison, 1910. Silent film. Approximately 13 minutes. This is the earliest known film version of Frankenstein. Regrettably, the only surviving copy was held by a private collector who refused to let film students and scholars study or even view it. Now the film fortunately has passed into the public domain and is available via Google video. Frankenstein Director James Whale. Starring Boris Karloff, Colin Clive, and Mae Clarke. Produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr. Adaptation by Robert Florey and John L. Balderston. Screenplay by Garrett Fort, Robert Florey, and Francis Edward Faragoh. Based on the play by Peggy Webling. Universal, 1931. 71 minutes. This version makes substantive changes to both plot and character, renaming our protagonist, for one example, “Dr. Henry Frankenstein,” and calling his friend “Victor.” This film gives us many of the stock elements of the twentieth-century Frankenstein myth: the mad scientist in a castle on a mountaintop who cries “It’s alive! It’s alive!” when his reanimation is successful, the scientist’s hunchbacked assistant, and the robot-like, inarticulate creature with bolts in his neck.

  • The Invention of Mary Shelley: Fictional Representations of Mary Shelley in the Twentieth Century
    The Invention of Mary Shelley: Fictional Representations of Mary Shelley in the Twentieth Century Selina Packard Goldsmiths College Submitted for the degree of PhD in the University of London Abstract This thesis is an examination of fictional representations of the life of Mary Shelley. As such it forms a contribution to two main areas of study: the postmodern debate about the relationship between fictional and factual discourses, and also to the perception of Mary Shelley in criticism. Chapter 1 constitutes a historical survey of the biographies of Mary Shelley, from her death to the present, which are the factual sources for most of the fictional texts examined in the thesis. Chapter 2 goes on to examine the prose fictions in which Mary Shelley appears as a fictional character in the years from the 1930s to the 1960s. In these we find her determined by her role as wife to Percy Bysshe Shelley, and she is thus presented as the standard heroine of romance fiction. In Chapter 3, study of later prose fictions from the 1960s to the present reveals a figure determined more by her role as author of Frankenstein. In Chapter 4, I look at her representation on stage, and show how her persona is determined by developments in late twentieth-century theatre, and she thus becomes beleaguered wife to the radical Percy. In Chapter 5, which looks at her presentation on screen, it is her visual appearance that is the dominant force in her construction, and she appears as Pandora, beautiful but deadly releaser of evils. Finally, in Chapter 6, which looks at the more unusual media in which she has appeared as a fictional character, her construction as mother to Frankenstein, birther of literary monsters, is foregrounded.

    The Call Is Places 2018–2019 SUBSCRIBER NEWSLETTER Frankenstein – Playing with Fire Sept 15 – Oct 27 Wurtele Thrust Stage WELCOME From Artistic Director Joseph Haj SEASON 2018–2019 Frankenstein – Playing with Fire Sept 15 – Oct 27, 2018 Dear Friends, Wurtele Thrust Stage The idea for Frankenstein came to 18-year-old Mary Shelley in a dream. Noises Off After reading a volume of ghost stories with Percy Shelley and Lord Byron Oct 27 – Dec 16, 2018 and attempting to pen ghastly tales of their own, Mary awoke one night McGuire Proscenium Stage from a chilling vision of a scientist bringing a “hideous phantasm of a man” to life. That striking image was the impetus for her novel, which was A Christmas Carol published in 1818 and kept alive through stage and film adaptations for Nov 13 – Dec 29, 2018 the past 200 years. Wurtele Thrust Stage But her ghost-story-turned-cultural-phenomenon isn’t the only notable The Great Leap anniversary. We’re also heralding the 30th anniversary of Barbara Field’s Jan 12 – Feb 10, 2019 McGuire Proscenium Stage haunting Frankenstein – Playing with Fire script. This brilliant adaptation was commissioned by the Guthrie under the artistic direction of the late As You Like It Garland Wright and opened in July 1988 following a five-month national Feb 9 – March 17, 2019 tour. Barbara’s work and artistry are woven into the fabric of the Guthrie’s Wurtele Thrust Stage history, and I’m thrilled to once again examine the questions Mary Shelley raised two centuries ago. Cyrano de Bergerac The riveting and deeply personal catechism between Frankenstein and March 16 – May 5, 2019 his Creature draws us in from the first question — “Do you dream?” — and McGuire Proscenium Stage never lets us go.

  • Frankenstein and the Inoculated Reader Frankenstein; Or the Modern Prometheus
    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.

  • Frankenstein
    Sonderausgabe 2 Liebe Leserinnen, liebe Leser, mit der zweiten Sonderausgabe von FILM und BUCH graben wir ein wenig in der Literaturgeschichte. Genauer gesagt geht es um das wohl berühmteste Werk der Literatur: Frankenstein. Der bekannte Autor und Übersetzer Alexander Pechmann geht der Spur Frankensteins nach, die eng mit der Biographie Mary Shelleys verbunden ist, und zeigt zugleich auf, wo die Ursprünge des zur Ikone der Popkultur gewordenen Monsters liegen. Ein weiterer Beitrag von Alexander Pechmann listet damalige Rezensionen zu Frankenstein auf, die zeigen, mit welcher Wucht der Roman damals in den Buchmarkt einschlug. Am Ende der Ausgabe findet sich noch eine Auflistung der Filme, die mit dem Roman in Verbindung stehen, sowie wichtige biographische Daten über Mary Shelley. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!
