Following the Trail of Ancient Greek Tragedy in Imre Kertész's The Following the trail of ancient Greek tragedy in Imre Kertész’s The Pathseeker Exploring the intertextual use of Greek tragedy in Holocaust fiction, and its contribution to the discussions on the (in)adequacies of language and literary fiction in representing the Holocaust. MA Thesis Name: Rowie van Hagen ANR: 210785 / Student number: U1252294 MA track: Art, Media and Society Department of Culture Studies School of Humanities Date: November 2017 Thesis supervisor: Dr. P.A. Bax Second reader: Dr. I.G.M. van de Ven 2 What do I call a fate? Certainly the possibility of tragedy. - Imre Kertész, in Galley Boat-Log (entry May 1st, 1965) They are dead – and those alive bear the responsibility for those who’ve died. - A Messenger, in Sophocles’ Antigone (line 1173) O my soul, be still! Beginn'st thou now to tremble and to doubt? lonely shelter on the firm-set earth Must thou abandon? and, embark'd once more, At random drift upon tumultuous waves, A stranger to thyself and to the world? - Iphigenia, in Goethe’s Iphigenie auf Tauris (Act 4, Scene III) 3 4 Abstract This study focusses on the intertextual use of ancient Greek tragedy in literary fiction about the Holocaust, and its contribution to ongoing discussions within Holocaust historiography regarding the inadequacies of language and fiction in representing the Holocaust. The late Hungarian Holocaust survivor and author Imre Kertész established a connection between ancient Greek tragedy and literature about the Holocaust, based on their shared linkages to art and morality. He expressed his hope that Holocaust literature inspired by Greek tragedy may in due time give rise to redemption; the spirit, catharsis. The question remains how this cathartic process would come about in the context of traumatized Holocaust survivors and whether the author in his literature believed a catharsis or redemption to be possible in the first place. The main research question of this thesis therefore initially focusses on positioning Imre Kertész in the two discussions within Holocaust historiography regarding the use of language and fiction in Holocaust representation, based on his intertextual references to ancient Greek tragic plays in his novella The Pathseeker (1977). However, additional research was done into the concept of catharsis in the context of Holocaust survivors, related to the role of the survivor-witness and the possibility of trauma treatment in Kertész’s novella The Pathseeker. Previous studies on the connection between fictional Holocaust literature and ancient Greek tragedy have barely been conducted, as most of the existing literature focussed either on the combination of combat trauma among veterans and the cathartic process of ancient Greek tragedy, or on Euripidean tragedy in recent instances of literary fiction dealing with political themes that indicated rival subjectivities and the issue of narrative control. In both cases, the existing research failed to address the Holocaust and its survivors in particular, and in several cases the characteristic elements of Greek tragedy (in form and plot) were undertheorized or neglected altogether. This study therefore seeks to combine developments in Holocaust historiography with a more in-depth look at the characteristics and goal of ancient Greek tragedy, to determine commonalities between the two that may affect discussions on the (in)adequacies of language and fiction in Holocaust representation. This is done through a literary analysis of Imre Kertész’s novella The Pathseeker, from which specific passages with explicit references to Greek tragic plays are extracted for a close-reading and subsequent analysis and interpretation. This study demonstrates how Greek tragedy, as a source of archetypical stories on the human condition and the world of morality, offers a universal language that helps counter the perceived inadequacies of language and fiction in Holocaust representation when used in literary fiction about the Holocaust. In addition, the close-readings and literary analyses performed on specific passages from Kertész’s The Pathseeker show how the author used intertextuality in his novella to make harsh claims about the role of the Holocaust survivor-witness. Kertész employed references to Greek tragedies such as Sophocles’ Antigone and Euripides’ Iphigenia among the Taurians to address a Holocaust survivor’s desperate search for catharsis; an unattainable and illusory redemption seen as a last resort in resolving the traumas that remained after the war. 5 6 Acknowledgements Looking back on the period of time during which I first started working on my MA thesis, I remember the enthusiasm with which I managed to combine two topics that were of great personal interest to me into one solid research focus: the presence of ancient Greek tragedy in Holocaust literature. I also vividly remember the continuous struggle of feeling the weight of a deep-rooted sense of responsibility that made me want to do justice to the delicate subject matter and to the late Hungarian author in whose literature I had fully immersed myself at that time. Back then, I would never have imagined that I would be this proud of the research I have done over the past several months, which has now resulted in a MA thesis that lives up to all my expectations. Of course, there are several people whose advice, inspiring words and continued support undoubtedly contributed to this personal achievement, and I would like to take a moment here to express my gratitude. First and foremost, I would like to thank the members of the Exam Committee, dr. P.A. (Sander) Bax and dr. I.G.M. (Inge) van de Ven, for agreeing to take up the functions of thesis supervisor and second reader respectively. Without your support – and especially your patience – over the past several months, I would never have been able to finish this research project on my own terms and according to my own personal standards. You have given me the time and space I needed to put all my energy and creativity into this research, which has resulted in something that I am truly proud of. I would like to thank Sander Bax in particular for all the time and effort he invested in helping me through the process of writing my thesis. Your pieces of great advice, your feedback, your generous compliments on my written work and your continued faith in my ability to do well on this research project have proven to be an invaluable source of inspiration and motivation to me. Secondly, I would like to thank prof. dr. A.J.A. (Arnoud-Jan) Bijsterveld and dr. D.J.M.S. (David) Janssens for their inspiring lectures on the subjects of the Holocaust and Homeric epic / ancient Greek tragedy respectively. I have had the pleasure of attending your courses during my Liberal Arts and Sciences BA program at Tilburg University a few years ago, and it may well be said that your lectures laid the foundation of knowledge on which the research for my MA thesis was built. Your lectures have inspired me to pursue my topics of personal interest in academic research, and I look back on them with fond memories. Furthermore, I would like to thank three of my closest friends for the countless times they asked me how my thesis was going over the course of the past couple of months. To Elisa Oh, Romy Dimitrovski and Suzanne Glaudemans: thank you for pulling me away from my desk and laptop every now and then to go out and do something fun – these distractions have been more than welcome! Additionally, I wish to thank my godparents, Ton and Beate Vermaak, for their continued moral support and their genuine interest in how my studies and MA thesis were progressing. Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents, Eduard and Mariëtte van Hagen, and my younger brother, Jerom van Hagen, for their unwavering love and support. I wish to express my gratitude towards my parents in general for providing me with the opportunity of attending university, which I know meant a great deal to them too. Throughout four-and-a-half years of higher education you have always been there to cheer me on, to motivate me to keep going and never give up, and to support me in all the decisions I made. I would therefore wish to dedicate this MA thesis to you. 7 Table of Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................... 5 Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................................ 7 Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................ 8 1.

  • Crossmedia Adaptation and the Development of Continuity in the Dc Animated Universe
    “INFINITE EARTHS”: CROSSMEDIA ADAPTATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONTINUITY IN THE DC ANIMATED UNIVERSE Alex Nader A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2015 Committee: Jeff Brown, Advisor Becca Cragin © 2015 Alexander Nader All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeff Brown, Advisor This thesis examines the process of adapting comic book properties into other visual media. I focus on the DC Animated Universe, the popular adaptation of DC Comics characters and concepts into all-ages programming. This adapted universe started with Batman: The Animated Series and comprised several shows on multiple networks, all of which fit into a shared universe based on their comic book counterparts. The adaptation of these properties is heavily reliant to intertextuality across DC Comics media. The shared universe developed within the television medium acted as an early example of comic book media adapting the idea of shared universes, a process that has been replicated with extreme financial success by DC and Marvel (in various stages of fruition). I address the process of adapting DC Comics properties in television, dividing it into “strict” or “loose” adaptations, as well as derivative adaptations that add new material to the comic book canon. This process was initially slow, exploding after the first series (Batman: The Animated Series) changed networks and Saturday morning cartoons flourished, allowing for more opportunities for producers to create content. References, crossover episodes, and the later series Justice League Unlimited allowed producers to utilize this shared universe to develop otherwise impossible adaptations that often became lasting additions to DC Comics publishing.

Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijll.v4n1a3 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijll.v4n1a3 The Power of Short Stories, Novellas and Novels in Today’s World Suhair Al Alami1 Abstract The current paper highlights the significant role literature can play within EFL contexts. Focusing mainly on short stories, novellas and novels, the paper seeks to discuss five points. These are: main elements of a short story/novella/novel, specifications of a short story/novella/novel-based course, points for instructors to consider whilst dealing with a short story/novella/novel within EFL contexts, recommended approaches which instructors may employ in the EFL classroom whilst discussing a short story/novella/novel, and language assessment of EFL learners using a short story/novella/novel-based course. Having discussed the aforementioned points, the current paper proceeds to present a number of recommendations for EFL teaching practitioners to consider. Keywords: Short Stories; Novellas; Novels Abbreviation: EFL (English as a Foreign Language) 1. Introduction In an increasingly demanding and competitive world, students need to embrace the four Cs: communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. Best practices in the twenty-first century education, therefore, require practical tools that facilitate student engagement, develop life skills, and build upon a solid foundation of research whilst supporting higher-level thinking. With the four Cs in mind, the current paper highlights the significant role literature can play within EFL contexts.

  • English 200, Microfiction: an Introduction to the Very Short Story
    Dr William Nelles [email protected] English 200, Microfiction: An Introduction to the Very Short Story Description Narrative fiction is traditionally divided into two major categories, the novel and the short story, with the transitional category of the novella serving to cover very long short stories or very short novels. But over the last thirty years or so there has been a publishing boom in what some critics consider a new genre of the very short story, variously labeled as “microfiction,” “flash fiction,” or “sudden fiction.” This new form seems to be an indirect descendant of such ancient literary types as the parable, fable, fabliau, and myth, on the one hand, and a relative of such nonliterary modern forms as the pop song, music video, TV commercial, cartoon, and comic strip, on the other. We will read, discuss, and write about a series of critical essays on the topic and a large number of very short stories (most of them under one page in length) to analyze their characteristics and to consider their relationship to some of these other very short forms. Texts Steve Moss, ed. The World’s Shortest Stories (0762403004) Steve Moss and John M. Daniel, eds. World's Shortest Stories of Love and Death (0762406984) Jerome Stern, ed. Micro Fiction: An Anthology of Really Short Stories (0393314328) The texts are available from the UMD campus bookstore, but can usually be found even cheaper at online stores. Please use the ISBN numbers to be sure you’re getting the right books. We will also be reading a series of critical essays on microfiction: these will be made available online through the course site.

  • Novel Novella: the Difference Between Novel and Novella
    Novel A novel is a long narrative in prose that describes fictional characters and events. It is the longest genre of narrative prose fiction in modern literature. A novel generally contains more than 200 pages (above 40,000 words) The term novel is derived from the Italian word novella meaning ‘new’. Novel has a long history and examples for novels can be observed in many countries including Classical Greece and Rome, 10th– and 11th-century Japan, Elizabethan English etc. However. Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, is often referred to as the first significant novelist of the modern era. Novels can be categorized in to different genres such as supernatural, thriller, fantasy, romance, western, paranormal, adventure, etc. Novella: The novella is short and well-structured narrative, often realistic and satiric in tone, that influenced the development of the short story and the novel throughout Europe. Originating in Italy during the Middle Ages, the novella was based on local events that were humorous, political, or amorous in nature; the individual tales often were gathered into collections along with anecdotes, legends, and romantictales. Novellas contain fewer characters, themes and conflicts than a novel. It generally does not contain chapters and is meant to be read in one sitting. Some prominent examples of novellas in literature include Saint-Exupery’s “The Little Prince”, H. G. Wells’ “The Time Machine”, John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men”, Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” and Ernest Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea”. Geoffrey Chaucer introduced the novella to England with The Canterbury Tales.

  • Fiction As a Brand – a Discussion on Application of Popular Brand Management Theories in the Creative Industry
    Zeszyty NaukoweMaciej Politechniki D. Sobociński Częstochowskiej Zarządzanie Nr 27 t. 2 (2017) s. 136–146 dostępne na: http://www.zim.pcz.pl/znwz7 t. 11 FICTION AS A BRAND – A DISCUSSION ON APPLICATION OF POPULAR BRAND MANAGEMENT THEORIES IN THE CREATIVE INDUSTRY Maciej D. Sobociński Czestochowa University of Technology Faculty of Management Abstract: Many reports indicate that the creative industries are an important part of the global economy. While some examples of popular brands of movies, books or computer games, they are not widely discussed, and their specifics differ greatly from other goods and services. This article attempts to study the application of the concept of brand extensions, presenting different ways of brand building on selected examples from the creative industry. Author also highlights other issues related to brands in this industry that require further analysis. Keywords: brand, brand extension, creative industry, film industry, video games, transmedia storytelling DOI: 10.17512/znpcz.2017.3.2.13 Introduction Keller (Keller 2011) indicates that basically everything can be a brand, including people, organizations, ideas. In the field of entertainment, he gives examples of movie characters including Austin Powers, Batman and Harry Potter (additionally he presents the case of Star Wars franchise as a brand). The main implied reason for treating those fictional characters as brands is their general recognition, which causes the audience to follow movie sequels, referred in the book as “brand extensions”. In the Polish edition of his book, the editors try to give examples of Polish movie series in the form of Vabank1 and Sami swoi2. While those movies clearly follow the idea of using known characters in sequels, something seems wrong with this comparison.
