Critically Reading the Vampire Diaries H-Announce Updated CFP: Critically Reading The Vampire Diaries Announcement published by Kimberley McMahon-Coleman on Thursday, July 16, 2020 Type: Call for Papers Date: July 15, 2020 to August 14, 2020 Subject Fields: Literature, Popular Culture Studies Vampires are a phenomenon that have captivated humans since ancient times, and continue to globally fascinate different target audiences. From vampires in early Chinese traditions to their depiction in early poems such as “The Vampire” by Heinrich August Ossenfelder, to Lord Byron’s “The Vampyre”, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, to vampires in more recent TV series and movies, this creature has not only evoked fear and horror but has also embodied both anxieties as well as desires of the culture and time in which it was created. Consequently, as vampire narratives today have started to go beyond the realms of horror, sometimes even turning the vampire into romantic heroes, they bring new insights to current issues across various fields. This call for papers reaches out to scholars interested in working on interpretations of the CBS series The Vampire Diaries. This American supernatural teen drama features a diverse set of characters, both dead and undead, while touching on topics such as friendship, romance, adulthood, as well as depression, and aging. So far, no book length work has dealt with this complex series, and it is our aim to publish an in-depth analysis consisting of 10-11 chapters that offer critical and creative readings of this series. We welcome contributions that investigate but are by no means limited to the following topics as they relate to The Vampire Diaries: Television studies Intertextuality/intermediality Importance of Social Media Gothic Gender Adolescence Aging Postmodern Approaches Anxieties/fears and desires Citation: Kimberley McMahon-Coleman.

Submissions already accepted for this volume have largely focused on gender and genre, so we would welcome submissions that broaden the focus of the collection. We are identifying the series, its antecedents and its spin-offs as examples of postmodernist storytelling, so this should be acknowledged in submissions. What to send: 400-500 words abstracts (or complete papers, if available) and a brief author bio of 150 words should be submitted by August 14, 2020. If an abstract is accepted for the book, a full draft of the paper (6000-8000 words) will be required by October 31, 2020. Proposed writing and publication schedule: Writing schedule – Draft completed October 31, 2020 Revisions, editing – Completed November/December, 2020 Submission to McFarland –January, 2021 Contact Info: Kimberley McMahon-Coleman, Nina Vanessa Weber & Iris-Aya Laemmerhirt Contact Email: [email protected] Citation: Kimberley McMahon-Coleman.

The Original vampire family swore it to each other a thousand years ago. They pledged to remain together always and forever. But even when youre immortal, promises are hard to keep.After a hurricane destroyed their city, Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah Mikaelson have rebuilt New Orleans to even greater glory. The year is 1766. The witches live on the fringes in the bayou. The werewolves have fled. But still, Klaus isnt satisfied. He wants more. He wants power. But when Klaus finally finds a witch who will perform a spell to give him what he desires most, she secretly uses Klaus to unleash a curse—one that brings back hundreds of her ancestors—and begins a war to reclaim New Orleans. As the siblings fight off the attack, only one things for certain—the result will be a bloodbath. I am a huge fan of the TV series and the two books in this series have followed the thread of the tv series. Someone who watches this series can picture what these siblings are doing and what they look like.

But one that for thy crime must fall, The youngest, most beloved of all, Shall bless thee with a father's name --- That word shall wrap thy heart in flame! Yet must thou end thy task, and mark Her cheek's last tinge, her eye's last spark, And the last glassy glance must view Which freezes o'er its lifeless blue; Then with unhallow'd hand shalt tear The tresses of her yellow hair, Of which in life a lock when shorn, Affection's fondest pledge was worn, But now is borne away by thee, Memorial of thine agony! from Lord Byron’s The Giaour (1812) ii ABSTRACT Long before Dracula was terrorizing English families, Emily Brontë’s Heathcliff captivated Victorian audiences.

  • Capitol Zoning District Commission Staff Report 11/05/2020 Dac / Bim
    CAPITOL ZONING DISTRICT COMMISSION STAFF REPORT 11/05/2020 DAC / BIM Location: 1214 West Sixth Street Applicant: Matt Looney for Capitol View Apartments, LLC Permit Type: Temporary Use Permit Project Description: The owner proposes to use five apartment units as short-term rentals, marketed on home- sharing websites such as Airbnb. Historic Significance: This property was originally adjacent to a complex of houses on the southwest quadrant of Block 304, listed as N.W. Herron Green Houses. The lot itself originally held an outbuilding for what seems to be the larger complex but was cleared by the early 1910s. The brick veneer apartment building that stands today was in place by 1939 at a time when the historically residential block between Cross, Pulaski, Capitol, and 6th Streets was becoming more commercial in character. By the midcentury, almost all the original houses on the block were removed in favor of larger commercial buildings and parking lots. The current owner purchased the property in 2018 and has since renovated it for continued use as am apartment building. Previous Action: Staff granted an occupation permit for a lawn service in 1997. Some interior and utilities renovations were approved in 2008. Staff issued a permit to replace the siding in 2013 and another for a roof replacement in 2017. Staff granted a permit in 2019 to install a privacy fence around the east parking lot and another for various exterior rehab work such as a roof replacement and front entrance rehabilitation using in-kind materials in keeping with historic appearance. A subsequent amendment to this permit allowed for replacement of non-original windows.

  • Age: Gender: Time and Place
    The Vampire Diaries/ The Originals CYOA (Jumpchain Compliant) Welcome, Jumper, to yet another world of magic and mystery, of vampires, werewolves and witches, and... of teenage angst? Yes. Unfortunately enough, this world has quite a few overtones of Twilight writ large, but that’s just how it is. C’mon, you survived Buffy, you can do this. That’s the spirit. Okay, so here’s how things are. It’s all mostly the usual three here, those being Vampires, Werewolves and Witches. Out of these, Witches are the most ‘natural’, being guardians of nature and the way of the world. Werewolves have their origins deep in the past, and no one knows just how they came to be, just that their current situation, turning only at the Full Moon, becoming a ‘true’ wolf only after killing a man, and suffering excruciating pain are curses placed upon them by witches. Vampires were created in the eleventh century by a Witch when she tried to make her family immortal, mostly at the behest of her husband. But despite being by far the youngest species and having literally been created by Witches, they are quite close to the top of the food chain. Of course, they’re just the pale shadows of the ‘True Immortals’, but since both of those are ​ ​ either inactive or dead, depending on the time of your arrival, that doesn’t matter much. Well...for now, at least. As you arrive, Elena Gilbert has lost her parents not too long ago, and is struggling to cope. But that’s nothing, compared to the fact that the Salvatore brothers Damon and Stefan are about to arrive in town, and will be followed not long after by the Original Family, all of whom want her for their own reasons.

  • Shakespearean Echoes in the Originals
    International Journal of Language and Linguistics Vol. 5, No. 1, March 2018 “When Sorrows Come”: Shakespearean Echoes in the Originals Fabio Ciambella University of Tuscia Italy Abstract Shakespeare and vampires represent a sort of “Beckettian pair” whose intertextual connections seem to have been explored more in detail by the so-called escape literature than by literary critics themselves. Based on this premise, this article is aimed at exploring Shakespearean intertextuality in one of the most famous and popular TV series about vampires,The Originals, thus trying to demonstrate that Shakespearean quotations are not accidental, but perfectly mirror the neo-gothic world of the Mikaelson’s family. Seasons 3 and 4 of the series have apparently nothing in common except direct quotations from Hamlet. In season 3 it is the vampire Marcel Gérard – aformer close friend of the Mikaelsons’ – who leaves a copy of Hamlet open at 4.2.75-6 (“When sorrows come, they come not single spies / But in battalions”), whilst in season 4 the witch Inadu takes Elijah Mikaelson’s appearance and quotes from Shakespeare’s Danish tragedy.In both seasons of The Originals, Shakespeare’s work seems to connect the different narrative levels, thus commenting on the story and being commented by it, interpreting the characters’ deepest secrets and being intertextually interpreted by them. Keywords: Shakespeare, Hamlet, vampires, TV series, The Originals, appropriation, adaptation. No poet, no artist, of any art, has his complete meaning alone. T.S. Eliot, Tradition and the Individual Talent 1. Introduction Shakespeare and vampires represent a sort of “Beckettian pair” whose intertextual connections seem to have been explored more in detail by the so-called escape literature than by literary criticism itself.Stephanie Meyer‟s forbidden-love-centred The Twilight Saga is only one of the copious narrative examples of how the Bard‟s canon has been adjusted following that diegetic transposition known in Genettian terms as “movement of proximization” (1997, p.
