III. Discussion Questions A. Individual Stories Nathaniel Hawthorne
III. Discussion Questions a. Individual Stories Nathaniel Hawthorne, “Rappaccini’s Daughter” (1844) 1. As an early sf tale, this story makes important contributions to the sf megatext. What images, situations, plots, characters, settings, and themes do you recognize in Hawthorne’s story that recur in contemporary sf works in various media? 2. In Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the worst sin is to violate, “in cold blood, the sanctity of the human heart.” In what ways do the male characters of “Rappaccini’s Daughter” commit this sin? 3. In what ways can Beatrice be seen as a pawn of the men, as a strong and intelligent woman, as an alien being? How do these different views interact with one another? 4. Many descriptions in the story lead us to question what is “Actual” and what is “Imaginary”? How do these descriptions function to work both symbolically and literally in the story? 5. What is the attitude toward science in the story? How can it be compared to the attitude toward science in other stories from the anthology? Jules Verne, excerpt from Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864) 1. Who is narrator of this tale? In your opinion, why would Verne choose this particular character to be the narrator? Describe his relationship with the other members of this subterranean expedition. Many of Verne’s early novels feature a trio of protagonists who symbolize the “head,” the “heart,” and the “hand.” Why? How does this notion apply to the protagonists in Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth? 2. -

Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis

It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Subjectivity is a crucial concept in children’s books and is discernible both within a particular culture and in comparison among cultures. The stories of the two novels discussed, express a quest for a sense of identity. I explored first, the images of femininity that the fictions offer, and second, the interactions between selfhood, other selves, social and cultural forces, and displacement. I limited my discussion of Bakhtinian theory to the concept of dialogism. Both novels articulate the complexity of ways in which the subjectivity of female adolescents, Lyra and Marjane, is formed in dialogue with different literary works and social discourses, assumptions and practices which constitute the cultures of East and West. -

Bibliography 27 Abstract Philip Pullman’s fantasy trilogy His Dark Materials follows Lyra Belacqua’s journey across different worlds, where she meets a series of adult figures who act as her guides and mentors – and also as tormentors and pursuers. This paper will focus on two of the women who teach and nurture Lyra: Serafina Pekkala, a witch, but a benign figure; and Marisa Coulter, an intelligent, glamorous woman who turns out to be her mother, and one of the main villains. In my view – from a Gender Studies perspective –, Serafina and Coulter offer positive examples of the representation of women in fantasy literature, which their role as mentors for the protagonist, with all their differences, prove. Their memorable personalities go beyond stereotypes, and they are characters with agency and believable motives. -

Operación Final – Operation Finale
DERECHO Y CULTURA OPERACIÓN FINAL – OPERATION FINALE. Por: Juan Sebastián Murthe Cárdenas. Película estadounidense del año 2018. Dirigida por Chris Weitz. Producida por Fred Berger, Oscar Isaac, Brian Kavanaugh Jones y Jason Spire, con guion escrito por Matthew Orton. Protagonizada por el actor Oscar Isaac, junto con Ben Kingsley, Mélanie Laurent, Lior Raz, Nick Croll, entre otros. 68 A menudo se dice, que un libro no debe ser juzgado por su portada, pues bien esta es una de esas ocasiones en que ese refrán se puede predicar también de algunas películas. A lo largo del último cuarto del siglo XX y lo trascurrido del siglo XXI, uno de los puntos clave del séptimo arte, ha sido el de realizar filmes basados en hechos reales, sobretodo de eventos históricos de gran calibre como las guerras mundiales, unos con mayor éxito y fidelidad histórica que otros. En el marco de este uso histórico en la Revista Iter Ad Veritatem, ISSN 1909-9843 / Enero - Diciembre 2020, Vol. 18 DERECHO Y CULTURA filmografía, llega esta película, que básicamente se ambienta en la década inmediatamente posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial y los tan conocidos Juicios de Núremberg donde fueron condenadas varias piezas importantes del movimiento Nazi alemán; narra la historia de cómo algunos miembros del cuerpo de inteligencia de Israel, llevaron a cabo en territorio argentino la captura del líder nazi Adolf Eichmann, quien se refugiara en dicho país al terminar la guerra, para evitar ir a juicio por la comisión de diferentes crímenes. Esta, en la opinión de este servidor, no es una película más de tipo cliché sobre el movimiento nazi, goza de un trasfondo importante en materia de Derecho Penal y Derecho Internacional, este último sobre todo en lo referente a la autonomía y soberanía de los Estados, que concomitantemente implica la no intromisión en su territorio sin fines legalmente autorizados o sin el cumplimiento de los protocolos legalmente establecidos. -
The Exploration of Will's Maturation Through Intersubjectivity in Philip
DOI: 10.7816/idil-06-35-03 idil, 2017, Cilt 6, Sayı 35, Volume 6, Issue 35 THE EXPLORATION OF WILL’S MATURATION THROUGH INTERSUBJECTIVITY IN PHILIP PULLMAN’S HIS DARK MATERIALS TRILOGY1 Gözde ERSOY2 ABSTRACT This paper, through focusing on Philip Pullman’s The Subtle Knife (1997) and The Amber Spyglass (2000) from His Dark Materials trilogy, analyses the maturation process of young co-protagonist Will, who in the beginning is introduced to the readers as a boy carrying the world on his shoulders. It showcases his gradual coming of age through the effect of his actions with others, and whilst doing this social thinker Jürgen Habermas’s interpretation of the intersubjectivity theory helps to trace the changes in him. Moreover, the article briefly discusses the way in which intersubjectivity differs from Bakhtinian interpretation of multi-voiced narratives. Therefore, concepts such as mutual understanding and self-reflection are shown to affect the process of maturation in quest style young adult narratives. In the meantime, the whole discussion is backed up with a framework belonging to the doyen of fantasy literature critic John Clute, whose “full fantasy Story” (1997; 2011) model with its gradual four phases, is incorporated into the analysis. Keywords: Intersubjectivity, Growth and Maturation, Philip Pullman, Full- fantasy Story, Jürgen Habermas. 1 This article has partly been produced from the author’s Ph.D. thesis, for which she was awarded the degree in 2016 from Brunel University London, entitled: “Trajectories, Theresholds, Transformations: Coming of Age in Classic Modern Fantasy Fiction.” 2 Research Assistant Dr. Gözde ERSOY, Süleyman Demirel University (Isparta / Turkey), Faculty of Arts and Letters, Department of Western Languages and Literatures, contact e-mail: gozdeersoy(at)sdu.edu.tr 1915 www.idildergisi.com Ersoy, G. -

THE MOSAIC MONTHLY ESSAY • EPISODE 2 June: The Truth of the Capture of Adolf Eichmann 1x 00:00|60:58 Sixty years ago last month, on the evening of May 23, 1960, the Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion made a brief but dramatic announcement to a hastily-summoned session of the Knesset in Jerusalem: A short time ago, Israeli security services found one of the greatest of the Nazi war criminals, Adolf Eichmann, who was responsible, together with the Nazi leaders, for what they called “the final solution” of the Jewish question, that is, the extermination of six million of the Jews of Europe. Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators. In the cabinet meeting immediately preceding this announcement, Ben-Gurion’s ministers had expressed their astonishment and curiosity. -
JUDITH MERRIL-PDF-Sep23-07.Pdf (368.7Kb)
JUDITH MERRIL: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY AND GUIDE Compiled by Elizabeth Cummins Department of English and Technical Communication University of Missouri-Rolla Rolla, MO 65409-0560 College Station, TX The Center for the Bibliography of Science Fiction and Fantasy December 2006 Table of Contents Preface Judith Merril Chronology A. Books B. Short Fiction C. Nonfiction D. Poetry E. Other Media F. Editorial Credits G. Secondary Sources About Elizabeth Cummins PREFACE Scope and Purpose This Judith Merril bibliography includes both primary and secondary works, arranged in categories that are suitable for her career and that are, generally, common to the other bibliographies in the Center for Bibliographic Studies in Science Fiction. Works by Merril include a variety of types and modes—pieces she wrote at Morris High School in the Bronx, newsletters and fanzines she edited; sports, westerns, and detective fiction and non-fiction published in pulp magazines up to 1950; science fiction stories, novellas, and novels; book reviews; critical essays; edited anthologies; and both audio and video recordings of her fiction and non-fiction. Works about Merill cover over six decades, beginning shortly after her first science fiction story appeared (1948) and continuing after her death (1997), and in several modes— biography, news, critical commentary, tribute, visual and audio records. This new online bibliography updates and expands the primary bibliography I published in 2001 (Elizabeth Cummins, “Bibliography of Works by Judith Merril,” Extrapolation, vol. 42, 2001). It also adds a secondary bibliography. However, the reasons for producing a research- based Merril bibliography have been the same for both publications. Published bibliographies of Merril’s work have been incomplete and often inaccurate.
