  • 2018 Modernity, Revolutions and Frontiers in Philip Pullman
    Modernity, revolutions and frontiers in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials or a contribution to the fourth culture Maria do Rosário Monteiro CHAM, FCSH, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Portugal ABSTRACT:Accepted Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials is a series of fantasy narratives for (young) adults. Its complexity and structure place the novels directly within the theme of this publication: Modernity, Frontiers and Revolutions. The three segments of the title are all intimately connected throughout the texts—are their core. Regarding modernity, it is present in the ethical perspective, the scientific references and the series structure. The revolution plays a significant part in the whole plot, being the aim of a mul- titude of characters. It will be a political, social, cultural religious and ethical revolution taking place in a variety of universes. Frontiers, in so far as they act in an ambivalent way, both as containers and promises for change, as obstacles and challenges, are also one major topic in the series, with characters travelling from world to world, crossing borders and returning to their homelands. Two teenagers, sometimes under supervision, face difficult issues like death, truth, friendship, war, and love. However, most of the time they have to decide without guidance, relying on their consciousness, on principles inherited from the cultural milieu, on their friendship but also on their intuitions and emo- tions. The two characters are complementary, and this characteristic allows them to make the right ethical choices, even the most painful. Pullman proposes some radical transformations in literature for young adults, and he also paves a road out of formulaic and/or post-Tolkien fantasy while, at the same time, fulfils the “mission” of “speaking out of tone”, of contrasting and questioning cultural agendas of mainstream literature and culture.

  • Extract from Chapter Ten of La Belle Sauvage Eleven-Year-Old Malcolm
    Extract from chapter ten of La Belle Sauvage Eleven-year-old Malcolm lives with his parents at the Trout Inn near Oxford, across the river Thames from Godstow Priory, where the nuns are looking after a special guest. One night his father comes to Malcolm’s bedroom. Now read on: “Malcolm, you en’t in bed yet—good. Come downstairs for a minute. There’s a gentleman wants a word with you.” “Who is it?” said Malcolm eagerly, jumping up and following his father out. “Keep your voice down. He’ll tell you who he is if he wants to.” “Where is he?” “In the Terrace Room. Take him a glass of Tokay.” “What’s that?” “Hungarian wine. Come on, hurry up. Mind your manners and tell the truth.” “I always do,” said Malcolm automatically. “News to me,” said his father. But he ruffled Malcolm’s hair before they entered the bar. The gentleman waiting gave him a start, though all he was doing was sitting still by the cold fireplace. Perhaps it was his dæmon, a beautiful silvery spotted leopard, or perhaps it was his dark, saturnine expression; in any event, Malcolm felt daunted, and very young and small. His dæmon, Asta, became a moth. “Good evening, sir,” he said. “Your Tokay what you ordered. Would you like me to make up the fire? It’s ever so cold in here.” “Is your name Malcolm?” The man’s voice was harsh and deep. “Yes, sir. Malcolm Polstead.” “I’m a friend of Dr. Relf,” said the man. “My name is Asriel.” “Oh.
