From Zero to My Own Hero: An Intersectional Feminist Analysis of the Woman Superhero’s Challenge to Humanity in Watchmen and Jessica Jones Louise Stenbak Simonsen & Sabina Kox Thorsen 10th semester, MA Dissertation Engelsk Almen, Aalborg University Supervisor: Mia Rendix 02-06-2020 Characters: 317649 Simonsen & Thorsen 1 Abstract The image of women in the superhero genre has for many years been dominated by how it is produced as a mirror to the masculine. However, this image is now beginning to be disrupted by feminist attempts at diversifying representations. This paper aims to examine Watchmen and the first season of Jessica Jones as cultural representations and new voices of women which materialise the category as a transgressive, challenging force to assumedly fixed structures of gender, race and sexuality. As Jessica Jones speaks from a White feminist perspective, and Watchmen from a Black feminist perspective, we explore how the texts can be combined to expand the category of women. The texts show the discourses, regimes of truth, and forms of violence which seek to regulate women, and in exposing these tools of domination, the texts disrupt the fixed categories and definitions of women and question the limits of performativity. In spite of women being shown to be materialised beyond the phallogocentric economy of signification, the two series still limit gender to a biological determinism that assumes a normativity of social structures and relations of power. However, because the texts are voices of women, they are the first step of many towards a multitude of untold, endless possibilities of gender and racial representation. -

Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC. -
Ancient Greek Tragedy and Irish Epic in Modern Irish
MEMORABLE BARBARITIES AND NATIONAL MYTHS: ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDY AND IRISH EPIC IN MODERN IRISH THEATRE A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Katherine Anne Hennessey, B.A., M.A. ____________________________ Dr. Susan Cannon Harris, Director Graduate Program in English Notre Dame, Indiana March 2008 MEMORABLE BARBARITIES AND NATIONAL MYTHS: ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDY AND IRISH EPIC IN MODERN IRISH THEATRE Abstract by Katherine Anne Hennessey Over the course of the 20th century, Irish playwrights penned scores of adaptations of Greek tragedy and Irish epic, and this theatrical phenomenon continues to flourish in the 21st century. My dissertation examines the performance history of such adaptations at Dublin’s two flagship theatres: the Abbey, founded in 1904 by W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, and the Gate, established in 1928 by Micheál Mac Liammóir and Hilton Edwards. I argue that the potent rivalry between these two theatres is most acutely manifest in their production of these plays, and that in fact these adaptations of ancient literature constitute a “disputed territory” upon which each theatre stakes a claim of artistic and aesthetic preeminence. Partially because of its long-standing claim to the title of Ireland’s “National Theatre,” the Abbey has been the subject of the preponderance of scholarly criticism about the history of Irish theatre, while the Gate has received comparatively scarce academic attention. I contend, however, that the history of the Abbey--and of modern Irish theatre as a whole--cannot be properly understood except in relation to the strikingly different aesthetics practiced at the Gate. -
Abstract This Master's Thesis Is Intended to Shed a Light on The
Abstract This Master’s thesis is intended to shed a light on the female gaze in contemporary Anglo- American televisual narratives, which involves examining the sexual objectification of male bodies and female identification evident in the narratives as a way to counteract the dominating male gaze within forms of spectatorship. This is conducted in search of gender equality through a focus on the empowered female viewer. Thus, this thesis is a contribution to extensive debates within the vast and continuously evolving field of feminism. Previously, the female gaze has been examined in connection with the way that narratives would portray female characters in ways that differed from traditional, passive portrayals, or traditionally fetishized depictions. In relation to this, the main arguments connected to the female gaze have usually been concerned with removing sexual objectifications from representations of women. Furthermore, male bodies have mostly been examined in relation to the way that they have been considered a spectacle along with the manner in which they represent masculinity (which seemingly excludes sexual objectification). For that reason, three television series in the form of Poldark (2015- ), Outlander (2014- ), and Marvel’s Jessica Jones (2015- ) have been analyzed using theories of psychoanalysis, film and television, feminism, and pornography. During the analysis, I have found men to be sexually objectified while similarly being portrayed as both active and passive. In connection with this, they were also emotionally appealing and portrayed with their own agency and subjectivity. On the other hand, female characters were portrayed as engaging in voyeuristic gazes along with fetishistic gazes in order to establish their own subjectivity and female identification. -

The History and Nature of Irish Street Names
Names, Vol. 37, No.4 (December 1989) The History and Nature of Irish Street Names Breandan S. Mac Aodha Abstract Street names in Irish towns and cities reflect the historical periods in which those names were given, medieval through the twentieth century. The majority of these names can be traced to English words, although many streets have English-sounding names which can be traced to Irish words. Classifying these names reveals the many reasons for name origins, from descriptive through destination to commemorative. ***** The Growth of Irish Towns Relatively little is known about the origins of Irish urban life. It is quite conceivable that future research will reveal the importance of pre- Viking settlements throughout the island, just as recent excavations, notably those at Woodquay in Dublin (Wallace; 0 Riordain), have emphasized the role of Norse invaders and traders in developing the coastal towns of the east and south. Town life flourished in the Anglo- Norman period (1169-c.1300). The Viking ports were redeveloped and many new towns were established, often on the sites of former monastic settlements. These Anglo-Norman towns were concentrated in the southeast, in Leinster and east Munster, but they included important outposts elsewhere such as Galway in Conn aught and Carrickfergus in Ulster (0 Sullivan; Mc Neill). With the decline of Anglo-Norman power many of these towns shrank into insignificance or even disappeared (Glasscock), but a few new ones were established in the counties of Laois and Offaly during the reign of Philip and Mary (1553-58). The Tudor reconquest brought about a revival of urban life in the old southeastern heartland of English influence (Aalen, chapter 6), while the early seventeenth century saw the final decline of Irish power in the north of the island and the founding of a large ·number of new towns in the escheated counties of Ulster 345 346 Breandan S. -

MacCionnaith for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Theater Arts to be taken March 2008 Title: RESURRECTIONS: THE USE OF FOLKLORE THEMES AND MOTIFS IN MARINA CARR'S WORKS. Approved: Dr. John Watson This study explores and demonstrates how Marina Carr uses Irish folktale motifs in her plays to bring the audience to a state of mind where they viscerally, as opposed to intellectually, engage with Ireland's search for a cultural post-colonial identity. The analysis of Carr's works focuses on four of her post-Ivfai plays: The Mai, Portia Coughlan, By the Bog ofCats, and On Raftery's Hill. The focus is on the connection between these plays and Irish folklore, and explores Carr's use of folklore motifs within her plays. -
