  • Beyond the Bodice Ripper: Innovation and Change in The
    © 2014 Andrea Cipriano Barra ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BEYOND THE BODICE RIPPER: INNOVATION AND CHANGE IN THE ROMANCE NOVEL INDUSTRY by ANDREA CIPRIANO BARRA A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School—New Brunswick Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Sociology Written under the direction of Karen A. Cerulo And approved by _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey OCTOBER 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Beyond the Bodice Ripper: Innovation and Change in the Romance Novel Industry By ANDREA CIPRIANO BARRA Dissertation Director: Karen A. Cerulo Romance novels have changed significantly since they first entered the public consciousness. Instead of seeking to understand the changes that have occurred in the industry, in readership, in authorship, and in the romance novel product itself, both academic and popular perception has remained firmly in the early 1980s when many of the surface criticisms were still valid."Using Wendy Griswold’s (2004) idea of a cultural diamond, I analyze the multiple and sometimes overlapping relationships within broader trends in the romance industry based on content analysis and interviews with romance readers and authors. Three major issues emerge from this study. First, content of romance novels sampled from the past fourteen years is more reflective of contemporary ideas of love, sex, and relationships. Second, romance has been a leader and innovator in the trend of electronic publishing, with major independent presses adding to the proliferation of subgenres and pushing the boundaries of what is considered romance. Finally, readers have a complicated relationship with the act of reading romance and what the books mean in their lives.

  • Soteriology in Edmund Spenser's 'The Faerie Queene'
    SOTERIOLOGY IN EDMUND SPENSER’S THE FAERIE QUEENE by STUART ANTHONY HART A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English Literature School of English, Drama and American and Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The thesis demonstrates the extent to which the sixteenth-century allegorical epic poem, The Faerie Queene, engages with early modern theories of salvation. Much has been written about Spenser’s consideration of theological ideas in Book I and this has prompted scholars to speculate about the poet’s own doctrinal inclinations. However, little has been written about the ways in which the remaining books in the poem also explore Christian ideas of atonement, grace and damnation. This study advances Spenserian scholarship by stressing the soteriological dimension of books II, III, IV and VI. It considers how the poem’s doctrinal ambiguity would have meant that Spenser’s readers would have been able to interpret the poem in terms of the different schools of thought on the conditionality, or otherwise, of election and reprobation.

  • The Theme Park Experience: Kingdom Hearts and the Franchise
    The theme park experience: Kingdom Hearts and the franchise Anh-Thu Nguyen University of Cologne Albertus-Magnus-Platz 50923 Cologne 0221 4705745 [email protected] Keywords Kingdom Hearts, Disney, Square Enix, convergence culture, transmedia, franchise, literary theory, tourist gaze INTRODUCTION When Henry Jenkins first spoke of convergence culture, he prophesised an increase in media companies exploring narrative universes, creating ways for the consumer to “buy into new kinds of experiences with those characters and those worlds” by “incorporating transmedia principles into their work.” (2006, 134-135) More than a decade later, his premonition on the expansion of media franchises certainly rings true with regards to the Marvel or Star Wars universe, whose narratives have been extended to cinema screens, comics or games. They are “entertainment for the age of media convergence, integrating multiple texts to create a narrative so large that it cannot be contained in a single medium.” (97) Although there are numerous sources that concern themselves with franchises in general, seldom is the subject of study a video game franchise. Hence, the on-going research takes the Kingdom Hearts (Square Enix 2002-2019) series as its primary study subject, in the context of a transnational collaboration between Disney and Japanese video game developer, Square Enix. The core questions concern themselves with franchise-building and transmedia storytelling, with an approach rooted in narrative theory to unravel the different layers of a video game franchise. THE CHARACTER AS A TOURIST Making sense of any media franchise is often challenging as the various texts holding the franchise together offer a substantial number of narrative arcs and any attempt to address those would divert from actual productive analysis.
