  • The Shifting Perils of the Strange and the Familiar’: Representations of the Orient in Children's Fantasy Literature
    ‘The shifting perils of the strange and the familiar’: representations of the Orient in children's fantasy literature by Farah Ismail Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Magister Artium (English) In the Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria Pretoria 2010 Supervisor: Ms. Molly Brown © University of Pretoria Acknowledgments I would like to thank: Ms. Molly Brown, for her guidance and support My parents, Suliman and Faaiqa Ismail, for their support and encouragement Mrs Idette Noomé, for her help with the Afrikaans translation of the summary Yvette Samson, whose boundless enthusiasm has been an immense inspiration © University of Pretoria Summary This thesis investigates the function of representations of the Orient in fantasy literature for children with a focus on The Chronicles of Narnia as exemplifying its most problematic manifestation. According to Edward Said (2003:1-2), the Orient is one of Europe’s ‘deepest and most recurring images of the Other… [which]…has helped to define Europe (or the West) as its contrasting image, idea, personality, experience.’ However, values are grouped around otherness1 in fantasy literature as in no other genre, facilitating what J.R.R. Tolkien (2001:58) identifies as Recovery, the ‘regaining of a clear view… [in order that] the things seen clearly may be freed from the drab blur of triteness or familiarity.’ In Chapter One, it is argued that this gives the way the genre deals with spaces and identities characterized as Oriental, which in Western stories are themselves vested with qualities of strangeness, a peculiar significance. Specifically, new ways of perceiving the function of representations of the Other are explored in the genre of fantasy.

    Oray’s Publications Research Journal Of English(RJOE) Vol-3,Issue-4,2018 www.rjoe.co.in An International Peer-Reviewed English Journal ISSN: 2456-2696 Archetypal Approach Spins around C.S.Lewis’s the Chronicles of Narnia Dr.J.Sripadmadevi Assistant Professor Department of English (SF) Nirmala College for Women Coimbatore,Tamilnadu,India Abstract As archetypes are recurrent patterns in literature, they shine exuberantly in the genre of high fantasy, which derives much of its power from the archetypal models it incorporates with the subject matter; and The Chronicles of Narnia series is of no exception in this regard. They are finely embedded with the archetypal images such as light and darkness, sibling rivalry, tyrannical bullies, quest motif and character types. Albeit, the series has hooked up with various archetypal characteristics such as the theme of virtue conquers vice, it is the archetypal patterns in characters which have left a sturdy imprint to execute the thematic design of good versus evil in the entire plot structure. The intrinsic study of the series illustrates the infinite variety of experience of the dominant characters; wherein it reveals certain archetypal traits. Hence, the present paper explores on the variety of Archetypes in C.S.Lewis‟s The Chronicles of Narnia. Key Words: Archetypes, Types of Archetypes, Child archetypes Research Journal Of English (RJOE) Copyright Oray’s Publication Page 173 Oray’s Publications Research Journal Of English(RJOE) Vol-3,Issue-4,2018 www.rjoe.co.in An International Peer-Reviewed English Journal ISSN: 2456-2696 As Children‟s literature has provided with numerous archetypes, the eminence of series lies more on archetypal figures and images which it shares with other texts in the huge gamut of stories ranging from oral roots of tales to the latest fantasy narratives.

  • Willow Creek: the Fiction of C
    C.S. Lewis and the Apologetics of Story Some have claimed that C.S. Lewis drifted towards fiction the last decade of his life because he was failed as an Apologist and no longer able to keep up with the complex philosophical questions of his day. In fact, fiction was always part of Lewis’s output. He wrote, “The imaginative man in me is older than the rational man and more continually operative.” Lewis used story as one of the tools in his rhetorical tool box because he knew that some people will not listen to a coherent and reasonable presentation of the Gospel. Their rejection of the things of God is buttressed with rationalization and self-justification. Reason stands before these people’s hearts like dragon sentries preventing even the best apologetic arguments from getting through. But, Lewis believed, sometimes story can get past watchful dragons. This Network will explore Lewis’s use of story as a rhetorical and apologetical tool for the Gospel. Jerry Root is Professor of Christian Education at Wheaton College and serves as the Director of the Evangelism Initiative.

Ondřej Molnár for his supportive and patient guidance, as well as to my family and friends for their endless support. Abstract This Master’s thesis aimed at comparing translating of proper names in two Czech translations of The Chronicles of Narnia from the point of view of domestication and foreignization. Domestication and foreignization are global translations strategies dealing with to what degree texts are adjusted to the target culture. One of the challenges related to domestication and foreignization is translation of proper names. In the research, proper names are analyzed via the two translation strategies. The translations used for the analysis were performed by the translators Renata Ferstová and Veronika Volhejnová respectively. Key words domestication, foreignization, naturalization, alienating, translation of proper names, The Chronicles of Narnia Anotace Tato diplomová práce se zabývá komparativní analýzou překladu vlastních jmen ve dvou českých překladech Letopisů Narnie z pohledu domestikace a exotizace. Domestikace a exotizace jsou definovány jako globální překladatelské strategie, které řeší do jaké míry je překlad přizpůsoben cílové kultuře. Jeden z fenoménů, který je zahrnut do problematiky domestikace a exotizace je překlad vlastních jmen.

  • The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: a Study of Eustace Scrubb´S Character
    International Journal on Studies in English Language and Literature (IJSELL) Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2021, PP 39-46 ISSN 2347-3126 (Print) & ISSN 2347-3134 (Online) https://doi.org/10.20431/2347-3134.0904004 www.arcjournals.org The Chronicles of Narnia - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: A Study of Eustace Scrubb´s Character Sara Torres Servín* Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, South Korea *Corresponding Authors:Sara Torres Servín,Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, South Korea Abstract:The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is a story in which the children who are the main characters go through painful processes that seek to transform them into better human beings. Such is the case of Eustace Clarence Scrubb, an English boy of around eight years of age. He is hopelessly doomed to his own self destruction if drastic measures are not taken to help him come out of his self-absorption and intrinsic bad personal traits. This boy is the by-product of an education given him by progressive parents and a progressive school, both of which see nothing wrong with the character, attitudes and behavior of this irritating boy. The worst thing about Eustace’s character, however, is the fact that he does not and cannot see himself as others view him, as the insufferable human being that he is. Only when he is going through the agony of being a horrific monster does he come to his senses and starts seeing himself as the monster he really is inside and outside. It is then that he realizes that he is the problem that he would accuse everybody of being.

LEWIS THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Caroline L. Geer, B. A. Denton, Texas December, 1976 Geer, Caroline Lilian, The Posthumous Narrative Poems of C. S. Lewis. Master of Arts (English), December, 1976, 73 pp., bibliography, 15 titles. The purpose of this study is to introduce the three posthumous narrative poems of C. S. Lewis. Chapter One is an introduction to Lewis's life and scholarship. The second chapter is concerned with "Launceloti" in which the central theme of the story explores the effect of the Quest for the Holy Grail on King Arthur's kingdom. Chapter Three studies "The Nameless Isle," in which Celtic and Greek mythic ele- ments strongly influence both characterization and plot. The fourth chapter is an analysis of The Queen of Drum and its triangular plot structure in which the motivating impetus of the characters is the result of dreams. Chapter Five recapitulates Lewis1s perspectives of life and reviews the impact of his Christianity on the poems. The study also shows how each poem illustrates a separate aspect of the cosmic quest.
