    MADNESS, THE SUPERNA TUBAL A1VD THE UNRELIABLE NARRA TOR IN GUYDE MA UPASSA1VT'S LE HORLA AND HENRY JAMES'S THE TURN OF THE SCREiW A Senior Thesis By Janna Smartt 1997-98 University Undergraduate Research Fellow Texas A@M University Group: Humanities Madness, the Supernatural and the Unreliable Narrator in Guy de Maupassant's Le Horla and Henry James's The Turn of the Screw by Janus Smartt Submitted to the Office of Honors Programs and Acadetnic Scholarships Texas AdcM University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for 1997-98 UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWS PROGRAM April 16, 1998 Approved as to style and content by: David McWhirter Department of English Susanna Finnell, Executive Director Honors Programs and Academic Scholarships Fellows Group: Humanities Abstract Madness, the Supernatural, and the Unreliable Narrator Janna S martt (Dr. David McWhirter), Undergraduate Fellow, 1997-98, Texas AdkM University, Department of English In both Guy de Maupassant' s Le Horla and Henry James' s The Turn of the Screw, narrators of questionable reliability claim to encounter other-worldly beings, leaving the reader to wonder whether the apparitions are real or the narrators are insane. This madness/supernatural conundrum recurs because of certain trends within the writers' cultural and literary milieux. From a literary standpoint, both Maupassant and James were working in the fanrastique, a genre which, by definition, indicates that the reader hesitates between natural and supernatural explanations for the story's events. And, from a cultural perspective, both writers were writing in environments where the distinction between spiritualism and psychology was often unclear. Maupassant leaves his reader in hesitation as a way of expressing the cultural ambiguity between madness and the supernatural, whereas James utilizes the blur between madness and the supernatural to explore the "reading effect" that the reader experiences when left in hesitation.

  • AGUIRRE, the WRATH of GOD Werner Herzog
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE Frederic Will, Ph.D. AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD Werner Herzog. 1942- OVERVIEW The present epic historical film retraces (largely fictionally) the Amazonian journey of the Spanish soldier Lope de Aguirre, in search of the mysterious El Dorado, the Golden City that preoccupied the Spanish conquistadores, as the sixteenth century proved of lucrative world historical importance for the Empire of Spain. There are texts of the time that give partial support, to the narrative Herzog amplifies and reshapes, and all agree that the historical launching point, for the tale before us, is the march (in 1580) of several hundred conquistadores south from the Inca Empire. The group was under the command of Fernando Pizzaro, the redoubtable ‘conqueror’ of Inca Peru and in that sense it is thanks to him that the surviving of mountain floods, high mountain jungles to cross, and angry Indian tribes brought the Aguirre narrative to birth. For at a certain point, deep into the jungle and beginning to wonder whether El Dorado was out there, Pizzaro sent a party of forty men downstream to acquire information about what was ahead of them. (Supplies were running out, the jungle and its dangers were crushing them.) Don Pedro Ursa was sent in command, with Aguirre his second. (Two women were included: Ursa’s mistress, and the teen age daughter of Aguirre.) The agreement was that if the party had not returned in a week, they would be considered lost. There, at what is still history, begins the narrative Herzog created, largely about Aguirre and his ultimate madness.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
