Turner, James Lloyd. "Monstrous Dialogues: THE HOST and South Korean Inverted Exile." Scholar Commons, 2012. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/4244.
Full textAbstract:
Bong Joon-ho‟s monster movie blockbuster, The Host (Gweomul, 2006), is the most commercially successful film in South Korean cinema history. The film‟s popularity and significance derive from its unearthing of the ambivalence concerning South Korea‟s rapid transformation from a rural dictatorship to an urban democracy with one of the strongest economies on the planet. This ambivalence is buried beneath a veneer of "progress" blanketing contemporary South Korea and constitutes a condition I call inverted exile. The Host explicitly engages life in inverted exile through my notion of aesthetic dialogue. Aesthetic dialogue, takes influence from the work of Mikhail Bakhtin and allows for proliferation of meaning beyond authorial intent by focusing on The Host‟s context. My approach focuses on genre, narrative, and style to flesh out the political, historical, and social ambivalences behind any given moment of The Host to put them in dialogue with one another. The project progresses through sites of cultural dialogue central to the film and/or life in inverted exile: the monster, the city, the home. I approach each site through the genres associated with them and gender roles each of them assume in inverted exile. South Korea‟s transformation and its relationship with the United States are causes of anxiety (e.g. loss of traditional values, overwhelming Western influence) and desire (political freedom, economic opportunity). Ultimately, I argue, The Host suggests that South Korea and its citizens need to embrace the ambivalences of inverted exile and actively shape an identity that takes an active and critical attitude towards Western influence. Such an attitude can better preserve the desirable aspects of traditional culture (e.g. traditional food, familial unity) and alleviate the anxieties caused by Western influence (e.g. rampant consumerism, unjust class divisions). The Host‟s dialogic form is integral to its shaping of Korean identity as it takes from multiple cultural sources (i.e. Hollywood and Korean history) without challenging their polarization.

Abstract This study examines the effect of exile on Theodor Wolff’s writings from 1933 to 1943. Wolff, a highly assimilated German Jew and renowned journalist and editor-in-chief of the ‘Berliner Tageblatt’ from 1906-1933, was one of the most influential cultural and liberal political commentators during World War I and the Weimar Republic. His political life and influence has been extensively researched, whereas his life in exile has not been explored. Enforced sudden exile in 1933 represented a turning point in Wolff’s life. Following the temporal sequence of Wolff’s ten years in exile, this study is divided into four chapters, starting with the early exile years from 1933 to 1936, followed by the immediate pre World War II period. The third chapter covers the German invasion and occupation of France in 1940. The last chapter sheds light on the two final years from 1942 to 1943. These four periods reflect his exile experience and gradual decline in living conditions, mood, and fundamental changes in his approach to writing. In exile Wolff devotes his time and effort to historical accounts and fiction – a difficult genre for a publicist and journalistic writer. He also embarks on autobiographical writings and during his final years in exile deals with the Jewish catastrophe unfolding in Nazi controlled Europe, raising issues concerning the so called ‘Jewish Problem’. This study draws attention to the effect exile had on an important German- Jewish writer, who in 1943 fell victim to the Holocaust. Wolff’s works, especially his exile writings survived the war and remain relevant today. The findings of this research provide some insight into a turbulent period in German and European history that drastically changed many lives. It also makes a significant contribution to the study of Theodor Wolff and to exile studies in general.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2002."June 2002." Some ill. folded.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [389]-[395]).
In contemporary American cities, urban planners ordinarily work amid conflict in complex institutional environments alive with rival interests, distinct identities, disparate resources, and competing claims. For planners who have responsibility for crafting a consensus out of participatory processes, interpreting these discrete voices is a critical professional task. Accurate interpretation, however, is an enormous challenge, particularly under the joint pressures of time and controversy. This dissertation identifies a methodology for examining variant strands of narrative encountered in zones of conflict and for using narrative details to inspect participants' institutional analyses of the precipitating crisis and its proposed resolution. The proposed interpretative method directs attention to narrators' figurative language for a series of interpretive cues found in the rhetorical patterns collectively known as tropes, hypothesizing that three specific tropes reflect the institutional dimensions of the conflict at hand: *the trope of conspiracy (causality and motive), *the trope of exile (invisibility and exclusion), and *the trope of resistance (authority and defiance). The three tropes correspond to aspects of power relationships: the concerted and motivated use of power, degrees of alienation from power, and the consequent answer to power. For the planner, these tropes serve as heuristic
(cont.) devices for institutional analysis embedded in the language of participants' narration. The dissertation's case study examined a city in state-imposed municipal receivership in Chelsea, Massachusetts, from 1991 to 1995. A small city in post-industrial decline and with a history of mismanagement and corruption, Chelsea also was in demographic transition from a predominantly white to a majority Latino population. The case focuses specifically on charter reform, initiated by state-appointed receiver Lewis H. Spence as an exercise in social-capital formation. The charter-drafting process provided an opportunity to observe narrative scenario-building and the operation of the identified tropes in a self-consciously constitutional moment, as Chelsea's constituencies struggled to set the terms for democratic governance and cultural co-existence through new political institutions.

Mejia, Melinda. "Reading home from exile| Narratives of belonging in Western literature." Thesis, State University of New York at Buffalo, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3629800.
Full textAbstract:
Reading Home from Exile: Narratives of Belonging in Western Literature analyzes the way in which narratives of belonging arise from Western literary works that have been largely read as works of exile. This dissertation insists on the importance of the concept of home even in the light of much of the theoretical criticism produced in the last fifty years which turns to concepts that emphasize movement, rootlessness, homelessness, and difference. Through readings of Western literature spanning from canonical ancient Greek texts to Mexican novels of the revolution and to Chicano/a literature, this study shows that literature continues to dwell on the question of home and that much of the literature of exile is an attempt to narrate home. Beginning with a close reading of Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus, the first chapter discusses Oedipus's various moments of exile and the different spheres of belonging (biological/familial, social, political) that emerge through a close reading of these moments of exile. Chapter 2 examines these same categories of belonging in Mauricio Magdaleno's El resplandor, an indigenista novel set in post-revolutionary Mexico about the trials and tribulations of the Otomi town of San Andres. Chapter 3 continues to consider literature that takes Revolutionary and post-revolutionary Mexico as setting and analyzes the narratives of belonging that arise in Juan Rulfo's Pedro Páramo and Elena Garro's Recollections of Things to Come. Finally, Chapter 4 analyzes the emergence of these categories of home in Chicano/a literature and thought, focusing on Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands/La Frontera and its relation to Homi Bhabha's concept of hybridity and to postcolonial theory in general.

Mahfar, Helen. "The homeless mutes| The psychological exile of Persian expatriate women under the patriarchy." Thesis, Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3701302.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this phenomenological study is to investigate how expatriate Persian women, living in the United States, experience the damaging influence of traditional patriarchy. The resulting alienation from the self and this alienation’s attendant psychological symptoms have been investigated under the conceptual heading of psychological exile, which has been treated by many preeminent schools in the psychotherapeutic tradition. The contemporary dynamic of exile has been set within a historical context, in which the rise of monotheism led to the destruction of matriarchal power structures.
In order to focus on how psychological exile is experienced by Persian women in diaspora, a phenomenological method was adopted: Persian women from three different age groups were interviewed, and their interviews were revised through a collaborative process between the interviewer and participants. The psychological essence of these related experiences was then distilled through the Giorgi method of interview data analysis (Giorgi & Giorgi, 2003), combined with Robert Romanyshyn’s method of Portrait Analysis (Romanyshyn, personal communications, 2010, 2011). From each of the three groups, emergent common themes were extracted and compared.
The patriarchal system has favored males and devalued females for centuries; each generation transmits its conceptual framework and cultural practices to the next generation, a process in which women are themselves complicit. This patriarchal system has not just limited the role of women in society, but has also actively damaged them by marring their identities, compromising their feminine natures, hiding them behind the veil of abroo, and robbing them of their natural language. These wounds manifest themselves through sexual repression, depression, and various other psychological symptoms.
The elucidation of how these women experience hierarchy’s damaging effects will have many implications for therapists treating Persians. This research project was undertaken with the goal of providing a roadmap for therapists treating Persian clients.

Lee, Joshua Seth. "WHITHERSOEVER THOU GOEST: THE DISCOURSES OF EXILE IN EARLY MODERN LITERATURE." UKnowledge, 2014. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/english_etds/15.
Full textAbstract:
Exile is, as Edward Said so eloquently put it, “the perilous territory of not-belonging.” Exiled peoples operate on the margins of their native culture: part of it, but excluded from it permanently or temporarily. Broadly speaking, my project explores the impact of exile on English literature of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. English exiles appear frequently in literary studies of the period, but little attention has thus far been focused on the effect of exile itself on late medieval and early modern authors. Historical studies on exile have been more prevalent and engaging. My project builds on this work and contributes new and groundbreaking investigations into the literary reflections of these important topics, mapping the influence of exile on trans-Reformation English literature.
My dissertation identifies and defines a new, critical lens focusing on later medieval and early modern literature. I call this lens the “mind of exile,” a cognitive phenomenon that influences textual structure, and metaphorical usage, as well as shapes individual and national identities. It contributes new theories regarding the development of polemic as a genre and their contribution to the development of the “nation-state” idea that occurred in the sixteenth century. It identifies a new genre I call polemic chronicle, which adopts and deploys the conventions of chronicle in order to declare a personal and/or national identity. Lastly, it contributes new scholarship to Spenser studies by building on established scholarship exploring the hybrid identity of Edmund Spenser. To these studies, I add fresh critical readings of A View of the State of Ireland and Colin Clouts Comes Home Againe. Both texts represent, I argue, proto-colonial literature influenced by Spenser’s mind of exile that explore England’s new position at the end of the sixteenth century as a burgeoning imperial power.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the recent increase in scholarship on the subject of the female experience in exile, there is still much to be done. Exile scholars now have at their disposal an abundance of broad, general overviews of the circumstances and fates of displaced women writers, but a dearth of scholarship that considers specific literary works in an individualised fashion still exists. This is especially true of those female writers who have only recently been 'rediscovered', such as the three under discussion in this thesis. This thesis explores in detail the exile writings of Veza Canetti, Anna Gmeyner, and Lili Korber, about which little scholarship exists, and uses them as case studies to illuminate the situation of exiled women writers in general The exile works of these three authors repay study both for their own literary merits and for what they can tell us about the individual experience of exile. In their broad similarities, these writers also provide us with case studies of the larger experience of authorial exile - particularly, but by no means exclusively, the gendered experience - that allow us to derive more general lessons about the influence of forced flight on literary art. By giving due consideration to work produced in exile, this thesis calls into question some of the generalisations commonly found in recent scholarship and demonstrates that, despite hardsrnps and setbacks and contrary to common scholarly contention, all three women continued to write well into their exile years and that in those years they took their writing in new, skilful, and creative directions.

Worth, Brenda Itzel Liliana. "'Exile-and-return' in medieval vernacular texts of England and Spain 1170-1250." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2015. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:a736407a-4f69-46f2-98bb-992b1fb669eb.
Full textAbstract:
The motif of 'exile-and-return' is found in works from a wide range of periods and linguistic traditions. The standard narrative pattern depicts the return of wrongfully exiled heroes or peoples to their former abode or their establishment of a superior home, which signals a restoration of order. The appeal of the pattern lies in its association with undue loss, rightful recovery and the universal vindication of the protagonist. Though by no means confined to any one period or region, the particular narrative pattern of the exile-and-return motif is prevalent in vernacular texts of England and Spain around 1170–1250. This is the subject of the thesis. The following research engages with scholarship on Anglo-Norman romances and their characteristic use of exile-and-return that sets them apart from continental French romances, by highlighting the widespread employment of this narrative pattern in Spanish poetic works during the same period. The prevalence of the pattern in both literatures is linked to analogous interaction with continental French works, the relationship between the texts and their political contexts, and a common responses to wider ecclesiastical reforms. A broader aim is to draw attention to further, unacknowledged similarities between contemporary texts from these different linguistic traditions, as failure to take into account the wider, multilingual literary contexts of this period leads to incomplete arguments. The methodology is grounded in close reading of four main texts selected for their exemplarity, with some consideration of the historical context and contemporary intertexts: the Romance of Horn, the Cantar de mio Cid, Gui de Warewic and the Poema de Fernán González. A range of intertexts are considered alongside in order to elucidate the particular concerns and distinctive use of exile-and-return in the main works.

Full textAbstract:
Despite being an equal in the most significant partnership in British cinema, Emeric Pressburger has largely been overshadowed by his long term collaborator Michael Powell in both critical and academic studies. While there have been countless books on Powell and Pressburger as a team, those who have sought to separate the partnership have, until now, focussed almost exclusively on Powell. This thesis will attempt to redress the balance within Powell and Pressburger scholarship and attempt to break away from director-centric film studies. It will aim to examine Pressburger’s morally ambiguous characters, such as the recurring “good German” and his propensity to humanise characters who would normally be termed evil or corrupt, in conjunction with the central themes of displacement and exile within Pressburger’s screenplays and novels. The thesis will also utilise both unpublished and unfilmed material and demonstrate that the study of these works that exist only in archives provide a greater insight into the working practises of authors and filmmakers, while providing a valuable point of comparison to their more widely known works. Specifically, this thesis will address four separate aspects of Pressburger’s canon. First, it will discuss Pressburger’s war films which he made with Powell, which have suffered to an extent from neglect by many Archers’ scholars. It is clear that Pressburger’s key hallmarks and mirroring of his own experiences during the war can be seen to develop within these works and provide an ideal point of comparison with that of his later projects such as his novels. Chapter two will then examine the often overlooked filmed operetta, Oh ... Rosalinda!! (1955) along with Pressburger’s unfilmed screenplay The Golden Years (1951) a biopic of Richard Strauss, and provide a comparison to demonstrate the manner in which Pressburger’s love of opera overlapped with his development of complex characters and response to the war. Chapter three will analyse Pressburger two published novels, both of which have been largely ignored by both cinema and literary critics. Through the study of these novels, the difference in approach after the transition from screenwriter to novelist will be examined, along with the further development of his seeming neutrality in the portrayal of morally unsound characters. Chapter four will then focus on Pressburger’s two unpublished novels, The Unholy Passion and A Face like England, with consideration of Pressburger’s developing ideas of morality and forgiveness in his later years. In conclusion, by closely examining works that have been overlooked by Powell and Pressburger scholars, the thesis will shed new light on Pressburger, both as a filmmaker and an author and demonstrate the complexities of both his characters and his writing.

Campbell, Cameron N. "Contextualizing Exile: Understanding Failures of the International Refugee Regime through Narratives of Young Adult Syrian Urban Refugees in Amman, Jordan." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2015. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/641.
Full textAbstract:
With almost 4 million registered Syrian refugees, the UN has called it the world’s worst refugee crisis. The influx of 628,000 asylum-seekers to neighboring Jordan has tested its strength and protection capabilities. The UNHCR is the organizational spearhead of the international refugee regime, the set of rights and procedural structures upon which signatory States agree to protect refugee rights. This ethnographic research contributes lived experience to the existing quantitative scholarship on the Syrian refugee influx in Jordan. Spending the long days of Ramadan with young adult Syrian national urban refugees, I learned about the gaps between respondents’ hardships in establishing secure lives, and the rights the UNHCR guarantees for them in Amman.
This thesis argues that respondents’ experiences reflect the systematic failure of refugee protection due to inherent weaknesses of the refugee regime. Gaps in protections are the logical result of the expanding role of nation-states, as self-interested actors, in making important decisions in the enforcement of refugee rights. I argue that the expanding interest of Northern States’ to limit immigration since September 11th has rendered the UNHCR incapable of providing refugees the levels of protection they are guaranteed. The refugee regime makes certain assumptions of the host country’s carrying capacity, as well as assumptions that other nation-states will willingly open its doors for Syrian refugee resettlement. Since the UNHCR cannot rely upon Northern states committing themselves to third country resettlement, refugees can no longer expect the refugee regime to uphold its mandate that it was founded to ensure.

Full textAbstract:
The Sermo antequam iret in exilium and the Sermo cum iret in exsilium are two homilies allegedly pronounced by John Chrysostom in Constantinople at the end of summer 403, some time between the verdict of the Synod of the Oak and the day he left the city for his first exile. The aim of the thesis is to demonstrate that a new critical edition of these texts is needed before any study of their literary and historical value can be conducted. Chapter one sketches the historical background to which the text of the homilies refers and a concise survey about previous scholarship on the homilies on the first exile, from the time of Montfaucon’s edition until our days. The problem of the authenticity occupies the last part of the chapter. Chapter two investigates the history of the texts and takes into account both the direct and indirect traditions. It discusses the existence of double recensions hitherto unknown and provides the prefatory material for the new critical edition of recensio α of Sermo antequam iret in exilium and of the Sermo cum iret in exsilium. Chapter three comprises the Greek editions of the two homilies, as well as a provisional edition of the Latin version of the Sermo antequam iret in exilium. Chapter four is divided into two parts, each presenting a philological commentary on the text of the new editions. Systematic analysis of all the most important variant readings is offered. The final chapter summarizes the new findings and assesses the validity of previous criteria used for discerning the authenticity of the homilies on the exile.

This study examines the nature and possible causes of the changes in the art and artistry of Abdul Rahim Ghafori, an Afghan artist who has migrated to Sweden. The premise of this paper is that over time a person who migrates to another culture will undergo change. In an artist this change should manifest itself in his art and artistry. The study examines this process of change and how it is manifested in the artistry and art of Abdul Rahim Ghafori. The study intends to increase knowledge and understanding of the changes a person undergoes when experiencing a culture change.
Studien är en detaljerad fallstudie vilken ingående belyser ett konstnärskap och utförligt diskuterar ett antal av konstnärens verk. Studien undersöker vilka förändringar i konst och konstnärskapberoende på kulturbyte som kan skönjas hos den afghanske men till Sverige invandrade konstnären Abdul Rahim Ghafori. Att det över tid sker en förändring hos en person som invandrat till en annan kultur är ett utgångsantagande för studien. Hos en konstnär bör denna förändring visa sig i konst och konstnärskap. I studien undersöks vad som händer och hur detta visar sig i Ghaforis konstnärskap och konst samt vilka möjliga orsaker dessa förändringar har. Studien avser att utöka kunskapen om och förståelsen för de förändringar en människa går igenom när han eller hon byter kultur.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est d’apporter un éclairage comparatiste à une littérature le plus souvent étudiée dans le seul domaine de la littérature japonaise. Pour ce faire, nous avons choisi d’aborder cette littérature par le prisme des littératures de l’exil, et plus précisément l’exil tel que pensé et élaboré par Alexis Nouss. Par ailleurs, nous avons fait le choix de consacrer notre recherche à la question de la seule littérature de l’après-accident nucléaire, afin de défendre l’hypothèse selon laquelle il existerait une forme d’exil propre aux situations de déplacements post-accidents ou post-catastrophes nucléaires.Dans la 1e partie, nous nous efforcerons de démontrer la possible existence d’une condition exilique propre aux déplacés du nucléaire, mais aussi d’une littérature qui y corresponde. Nous établirons à cette occasion un dispositif critique local qui nous permette d’analyser les textes retenus pour analyse, autour des notions inédites de « littérature de l’exil nucléaire » et de « littérature contaminée ». Dans la 2e partie, nous examinerons les œuvres de Furukawa Hideo, Michaël Ferrier et Sekiguchi Ryôko, de manière à démontrer comment le sentiment d’exil s’est installé en eux. Dans la 3e partie, nous nous pencherons sur les œuvres de Daniel de Roulet, Kawakami Hiromi, Henmi Yô et Tsushima Yûko, examinant la mise en scène de la contamination à l’œuvre dans l’œuvre. Alors que la 2e partie s’attache à esquisser les contours de la littérature de l’exil nucléaire telle qu’elle se devine dans les textes ici présentés, la 3e partie sera tournée vers la démonstration analytique de la possible existence d’une littérature contaminée sur un plan métaphoriqueThis thesis aims to offer a comparative point of view on a literature mostly studied in the Japanese literature only area. We also chose to study this literature with the exile literature perspective, as established in France by Alexis Nouss. Moreover, we chose to restrict our study to the nuclear side of the question, in order to defend our hypothesis, according to which a form of "nuclear exile" does indeed exists after people are being displaced after nuclear accidents or events. If so, how does this "nuclear exile" take form in any text written afterwards? And more exactly after 3/11? In the first part of our thesis, we will aim to demonstrate the possible existence of an exilic condition proper to nuclear displaced people, but also of a form of correspondent literature. On that occasion, we will establish a temporary critical apparatus, to help us analyze the selected texts of our research. This apparatus will be constructed on the new notions of “nuclear exile literature” and “contaminated literature”. In the second section, we will analyze Furukawa Hideo, Michaël Ferrier and Sekiguchi Ryôko’s texts, aiming to demonstrate how the exile feeling took form inside them. In the third part, we will examine Daniel de Roulet, Kawakami Hiromi, Henmi Yô and Tsushima Yûko’s works, in order to demonstrate how their texts stage the contamination phenomenon. The second section aims to show how nuclear exile literature can take form, whereas the third one is focused on how a possible and metaphorical contaminated literature is written

Full textAbstract:
Victimes des persécutions du régime national-socialiste, près d’un demi-million d’Allemands et d’Autrichiens furent contraints à l’exil entre 1933 et 1945, en Europe puis outre‑mer. Plusieurs milliers d’entre eux trouvèrent refuge en Bolivie, le pays le plus pauvre d’Amérique du Sud. Nous nous proposons d’étudier la crise identitaire provoquée par la rupture de l’exil chez les personnes concernées ainsi que les stratégies identitaires qu’elles mirent en place pour tenter de la dépasser. Nous avons ainsi choisi d’interroger les difficultés spécifiques des exilés de langue allemande qui furent confrontés dans la république andine à un environnement socio-culturel très différent de celui qu’ils connaissaient en Europe et qui n’offrait que peu de repères identificatoires. Devant l’impossibilité d’une acculturation rapide, les exilés germanophones en Bolivie durent activer des mécanismes de défense et de (re)construction identitaire qu’ils mirent en place dans des espaces interstitiels transnationaux recréés sur place. Cette étude a pour objet l’analyse de la nature de ces espaces et des processus de recomposition identitaire différents, parfois divergents, mis en place chez les exilés de langue allemande en Bolivie. Notre réflexion s’inscrit ainsi dans le cadre de la sociologie des identités en contexte migratoire centrée sur les espaces socio-culturels et politiques collectifs ainsi que sur la (re)définition d’individus victimes d’une assignation identitaire discriminanteNearly half a million of German and Austrian nationals, fleeing persecution at the hand of the national‑socialist regime, were forced into exile in Europe and overseas. A few thousands of them found refuge in Bolivia, then the poorest country in South America. In our study, this dissertaition will analyse the identity crisis caused by the rupture of exile as well as the identity strategies those who were affected developed to overcome this crisis. We chose to focus on the specific difficulties of the Germann speaking exile who in Bolivia had to face a sociocultural environment widely different from what they had known in Europe and in which they couldn’t find any references to relate to. Since fast acculturation was nearly impossible, the exiles had to recreate transnational in-between spaces that would enable them to activate defensive mechanisms to (re)build their identities.Our study aims to analyse the nature of these spaces as well as the different - or even divergent - processes of identity reconstruction the German–speaking exiles established in Bolivia. Our work relies on the sociology of identity in a migratory context with a specific focus on collective sociocultural and political spaces and on the redefining of identities for people who were the victims of a discriminating label

Full textAbstract:
Les fictions franco-vietnamiennes, qui ont relevé le défi de dépasser le carcan folklorique, offrent un point de vue original sur les concepts de femmes, d’histoire et d’exil dans des contextes de dominations politique et sociale différents. Néanmoins, ces fictions mettent en place des stratégies de résistance très proches. Parmi toutes les questions soulevées par les représentations qu’élaborent ces œuvres, celle de la résistance a été retenue car elle est particulièrement riche et révélatrice de la complexité de leur identité littéraire. Comment s’écrit la résistance dans les œuvres franco-vietnamiennes ? À quoi résistent-elles ? Quels sont les enjeux de cette résistance ? L’étude se focalise sur les fictions de quatre écrivaines franco-vietnamiennes contemporaines, Linda Lê, Kim Lefèvre, Ly Thu Ho et Anna Moï. Ces écrivaines offrent des pistes de réponses à ces questions, en mettant en évidence trois dominations qui se croisent et s’articulent entre elles : la résistance à la domination masculine, à l’histoire surplombante et à la glorification d’une identité nationale figée. Le cadre d’analyse choisi est celui des resistance studies.Cette méthode permet d’engager une description systématique des figures de résistance présentes dans les récits de fiction. Le champ d’investigation pose tout d’abord le problème des représentations de la place des Vietnamiennes, tiraillées entre la société patriarcale teintée de confucianisme et la société française moderne. Elle implique également l’examen des modalités déployées dans les œuvres du corpus pour déjouer les pièges d’une écriture de l’histoire du Vietnam qui accorderait peu de place aux voix subalternes : aux Vietnamiens et en particulier aux femmes. Finalement, à travers l’analyse de l’exil comme forme masquée d’insoumission, nous interrogerons la façon dont le sujet femme-postcoloniale s’approprie les apports exogènes sans renoncer à son éthique et son identité particulièresHaving successfully taken up the challenge of going beyond the limits of folklore, French-Vietnamese fiction offers an original point of view on the ideas of women, history and exile. These elements are staged in different contexts of social and political domination, but they nevertheless set up very similar strategies of resistance. This is why, among all the issues raised by the representations framed by these works, that of resistance was chosen, since it is so rich and revealing of the complexity of their literary identity. How is resistance described in French-Vietnamese works? What is being resisted against? What is at stake in this resistance?This study is focused on the works of four French-Vietnamese contemporary writers: Linda Lê, Kim Lefèvre, Ly Thu Ho and Anna Moï. These female writers provide answers to the questions above by highlighting three correlated and intertwined dominations: resistance to male domination, to overarching history, and to the glorification of a frozen national identity. The framework of the analysis is that of resistance studies.This approach enables a systematic description of the resistance figures encountered in these fictional works. The field of investigation first reveals the issue of the representation of Vietnamese women, torn between a Confucean and patriarchal society and that of modern France. It also implies the study of the means developed in these works to avoid the traps of a writing of Vietnamese history that allows little space to subaltern voices of the Vietnamese, and of women in particular. Finally, through the analysis of exile as a hidden form of insubordination, we will question the way in which French-Vietnamese narrative gives initiative to the postcolonial woman subject and enables her to appropriate contributions from outside without denying her ethics and her identity

Moussaoui, Nedjma. "Max Ophuls et l’œuvre de Goethe : matériau génétique et substrat esthétique." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010LYO20106.
Full textAbstract:
Max Ophuls reste un cinéaste méconnu. Plusieurs de ses films (Liebelei, Lettre d’une inconnue, La Ronde) l’ont associé à la Vienne fin de siècle et à la littérature autrichienne, faisant oublier sa relation avec l’Allemagne, son pays natal, et avec Goethe. Cette thèse propose une nouvelle approche auctoriale fondée sur l’étude de sa relation avec l’écrivain. Il s’agit d’examiner la façon dont le matériau goethéen travaille les œuvres inspirées de Goethe et nourrit les conceptions esthétiques du cinéaste. La première partie s’attache à Goethe en tant que source d’inspiration créatrice. Elle repose essentiellement sur l’analyse du Roman de Werther, film français de 1938, et de la Nouvelle, pièce radiophonique allemande de 1954. Cette nouvelle lecture d’œuvres considérées comme mineures montre l’évolution de la relation à Goethe et met en évidence le rapport d’Ophuls à la culture allemande et à l’Allemagne dans le contexte mouvementé du XXème siècle. La seconde partie établit sur un plan plus théorique les liens entre la conception de l’art d’Ophuls et l’esthétique goethéenne. L’analyse des Réflexions sur le cinéma (pièce radiophonique allemande de 1956) montre l’importance de Goethe comme référent théorique. L’examen d’écrits de natures diverses d’Ophuls met au jour une poétique implicite du cinéma, fondée sur l’esthétique organique goethéenneMax Ophuls remains a neglected film maker. Several movies he directed (such as Liebelei, Lettre d'une inconnue, La Ronde) have linked his name with fin de siècle Vienna and Austrian literature, overshadowing his relationship with Goethe and with Germany, his native country. Our thesis proposes a new approach to Ophuls, based on a study of his relationship with the German writer : we examine the way in which the Goethean sources both operate in the works directly inspired by Goethe and influence the aesthetic tenets of the director. The first part of our work deals with Goethe as a source of inspiration. It is mostly based on the analysis of the 1938 movie Le Roman de Werther, and of the 1954 radio drama Novelle. This new approach to works considered of lesser importance reveals the development of Ophuls's relationship with Goethe and highlights his connection with Germany and German culture in the turbulent context of twentieth century. The second part, on a more theoretical level, traces the paths linking Ophuls's conception of art and Goethean aesthetics. Our analysis of Thoughts on Film (Gedanken über den Film), a 1956 radio drama, highlights the importance of Goethe as a theoretical frame of reference: other texts of different nature allow us to describe an implicit poetics of cinema, based on Goethean organic aesthetics

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation articulates a practical theology of reconciliation for, with, and by Cuban Catholic exiles through the development of a faith-based structured process of reconciliation—the Circles of Reconciliation—that addresses personal reconciliation as the basis for social reconciliation. The Circles of Reconciliation draw on sources of the Christian tradition in dialogue with the empirical sciences and Cuban culture. The Circles provide the space to advance a praxis of reconciliation among Cuban exiles. The reflection that emanates from this process is the basis for the concluding insights on a theology and an ethics of reconciliation for this community.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: pages 79-84.This essay examines how the Cape government thought and felt about certain prominent Muslims, exiled from present day Indonesia to that colony, in the period 1652 to 1806. It has both descriptive and analytic functions. Descriptively, it seeks to find out what these thoughts and feelings were. Analytically, it seeks to explain why they came about. The essay contends that the way in which the exiles were perceived can only be understood by locating them in the wider Cape social, economic and political context. Accordingly, it describes elements of this context such as the Dutch colonial rationale, the Cape social structure, its culture and pertinent legal practices. Against this background, it then describes these perceptions. The description is general and specific. It examines perceptions of exiles in general by a study of the social class to which they belonged, namely the free blacks. It particularly focuses on the demography, the legal status and the economic position of this class. The final chapter of the essay is ties empirical backbone, being a specific and detailed examination of what the Cape government thought and felt about prominent individual exiles. As far as possible, it elicits all the evidence concerning these exiles, pertinent to the topic at hand, that is available in the prevailing historical literature. This essay's central thesis is that the exiles were peripheral to the concerns of the Cape government. Perceptions of individual exiles were nuanced and encompassed various attitudes, but at the core the exiles were not seen as important to their vital interests. The class to which the exiles belonged, the free blacks, were always at the demographic, legal, and economic margins of Cape society. The essay contends that the reason the exiles were peripheral in government perceptions was because of the general marginality of Muslims in the Cape context. They lacked numbers, and their role as a religious constituency was undermined by a society that subsumed such a constituency under various other concerns. The thesis is a departure from other studies on Cape Muslim history which this essay contends, tend to emphasise the "differentness" and centrality of the Muslim contribution.

Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/273742.
Full textAbstract:
This is an investigation of the epic poetry produced in and about the Ibero-American world during the early modern period (sixteenth to eighteenth centuries) in trilingual perspective: in addition to the more familiar Spanish- and Portuguese-language texts, consideration is also––and, for the purposes of the thesis, above all––given to material in Latin. Latin was the third of the international literary languages of the Iberian imperial world; it is also by far the most neglected, having fallen between the cracks of modern disciplinary boundaries in their current configurations. The thesis seeks to rehabilitate the Latin-language component as a fully-fledged member of the Ibero-American epic tradition, arguing that it demands to be analysed with reference not only to the classical and classicising traditions but to those same themes and concerns––in this case, the centre|periphery binary––as are investigated for counterparts when in Spanish or Portuguese. The crucial difference is that––while the ends may be the same––the means of thematising these issues derive in form and signifying power from interactions with the conceptual vocabularies and frameworks of the Greco-Roman epic tradition. How is America represented and New World space figured––even produced––in a poetic idiom first developed by ancient Mediterranean cultures with no conception whatsoever of the continent of the western hemisphere? At the core is one such long neglected Ibero-American Latin-language epic by a figure who lived across the Iberian imperial world: the 'De Invento Novo Orbe Inductoque Illuc Christi Sacrificio' (Faenza, 1777) by Catalan-born Jesuit José Manuel Peramás. Peramás’s epic––which has never been the subject of a literary-critical study before––is offered as a test case: an exercise in analysing a Latin-language Hispanic epic qua Hispanic epic and setting it into Ibero-American literary-cultural context. This is to be understood in relation to the field of so-called ‘New World poetics’: an at present emergent zone of inquiry within Iberian colonial studies which until now has been developing almost completely without reference to the Latin-language portion of the corpus.

Contrapor escritos de autores tão diferentes em suas especificidades, mas que se encontram por conta de uma perspectiva dos estudos culturais, parece-me fazer parte deste processo de quebrar hegemonias e relativizar as hierarquias, conforme seguimos os efeitos das narrativas destes autores, quando o país sonhado força sua presença: à medida em que eliminam-se distâncias e remarcam-se fronteiras, no ato de ler e narrar a realidade. O presente estudo consistiu de um romance e um ensaio, assim como um Prelúdio, apresentado em forma entre a teoria e a ficção
Focusing on memory and exile within Dany Laferièrres novel Pays sans chapeau (1997) and Vladimir Nabokovs autobiography Speak, memory (1947), the aim of this study is to observe the relation of each of these authors with his respective old and new worlds, borders, languages and the narration of them, contributing to the discussion within Comparative Literature and to the new trends in the Canadian studies. Through the concepts of carnivalization and of the act of reading, we follow the rupture of hierarchies in the narratives, to see how memory reinvents reality in new, simple effects. Between fiction and authobiography, between text and reader, the strength of renewed images. The dream country forces its presence, as far as distances are eliminated in the act of reading and narrating reality. The present study consists of a novel and an essay, and a part in-between called Prelude, a form crossing from theory into fiction

Full textAbstract:
Denna uppsats kommer att undersöka gudsbilden i Psaltaren med utgångspunkt i de förexiliska psalmerna 18 och 63 samt de efterexiliska psalmerna 74 och 101. Deras olika genrer, kungapsalm och klagopsalm, kommer att undersökas för att se om det har någon påverkan på de gudsbilder som framträder. Vidare blir även exilen ett skeende som psalmernas uttryck kommer att testas emot. Uppsatsen landar i att det framträder ett flertal gudsbilder i de fyra utvalda psalmerna, vilka överskrider psalmernas gränser och genrer. Exilen har en påverkan på psalmerna då Gud framträder som mer frånvarande i de efterexiliska psalmerna. Ytterligare synliggörs exilens teologiska påverkan i kungaspalmerna på så vis att den förexiliska Ps 18 antyder en polyteistisk trosuppfattning samt riktar in sig tydligare på Israels folk gällande moral. I den efterexiliska Ps 101 förekommer en självskriven monoteism samt en mer universalistisk moralisk uppfattning. Slutligen visar det sig att svårigheten att datera psalmerna till viss del gör undersökningens resultat tvetydigt.

Full textAbstract:
Exide Technologies finally closed its secondary lead-battery recycling plant on March 12, 2015. The community of primarily Hispanics around the facility had to fight many years to have the polluting facility shut down. Because government agencies, whose job is to protect citizens from polluters, were not regulating the facility properly, residents are not sure if they can trust the agencies to carry out remediation effectively and efficiently either. In this paper I explore the environmental justice issues associated with environmental remediation and what community members can do to make sure that their neighborhood is cleaned up properly. Through interviews with government agencies and environmental activists heavily involved in this case, I discovered that the main environmental justice issue in remediation is increased exposure to toxins. I argue that strong community activism and involvement are necessary for remediation to happen properly, and explore some tools that can be used in this process.

The purpose of this study was to learn about the historical development of Eight Street in order to use this information in the revitalization of this area with the new migration of artists.
This study demonstrated a cyclical pattern prompted by the economical success of the immigrant group. The 1960 Cuban migration brought an era of life to Eight Street. As the Cubans became successful they left the area causing a decline. Presently the area is witnessing a migration of artists that may bring it new life.
The thesis retrofits buildings in this area to create a series of artist studios. These studios are designed using elements of 1960 Cuban urbanity, an era of robust urban life for this street.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this essay is to study Chilean refugees’ experiences of the 1973 military coup in Chile as well as the subsequent escape to, and reception of refugees in Sweden. In order to accomplish the purpose of the essay, six Chilean refugees who arrived in Sweden after 1973 have been interviewed and have generated answers which are compared to previous research in this field. Furthermore, written history tends to describe people in power as well as warfare in general. Therefore, by using oral history as a method in this study to investigate Chilean refugees’ experiences, a more nuanced and democratic version of what happened could appear. As a result, this study mostly concurs with previous research made in this field, thus arguing that political and social injustices triggered the Chilean refugees’ involvement in Allende’s popular unity in Chile. When Allende was overthrown by armed forces and a merciless persecution took place, the people interviewed in this study decided to escape to another country. The goal with the escape was to wait until the situation had calmed down and then, return to Chile. While in Sweden, they decided to continue the struggle towards a free and democratic Chile. However, as time passed during the long-term dictatorship, those dreams faded.

Full textAbstract:
An estimated twelve million people worldwide are stateless, or living without the legal bond of citizenship or nationality with any state, and consequently face barriers to employment, property ownership, education, health care, customary legal rights, and national and international protection. More than one-quarter of the world's stateless people live in Thailand. This feminist ethnography explores the impact of statelessness on the everyday lives of Burmese women political exiles living in Thailand through the paradigm of human security and its six indicators: food, economic, personal, political, health, and community security. The research reveals that exclusion from national and international legal protections creates pervasive and profound political and personal insecurity due to violence and harassment from state and non-state actors. Strong networks, however, between exiled activists and their organizations provide community security, through which stateless women may access various levels of food, economic, and health security. Using the human security paradigm as a metric, this research identifies acute barriers to Burmese stateless women exiles' experiences and expectations of well-being, therefore illustrating the potential of human security as a measurement by which conflict resolution scholars and practitioners may describe and evaluate their work in the context of positive peace.

Die vorliegende Studie analysiert in einem intertextuellen Vergleich die beiden Romane “Nach Mitternacht” von Irmgard Keun und “Kassandra” von Christa Wolf. Dabei wird in einem dialogischen Verfahren herausgearbeitet, wie die beiden Schriftstellerinnen durch die Stimmen der Hauptfiguren zu den Themen Emanzipation, Kriegserfahrung, Emigration und Flucht aus weiblicher Sicht Stellung nehmen. Es handelt sich um zwei Werke, die in einer Zeit der politischen Unterdrückung entstanden und die sich mit den Möglichkeiten auseinandersetzen, literarische Ehrlichkeit zu behalten, obwohl sich das Lesepublikum in einer Gesellschaft befindet, die unter strenger Zensur steht. Dabei wird besonders berücksichtigt, inwiefern sich die weibliche Erzählstimme abhebt von den Stimmen männlicher Erzähler in einer ähnlichen politischen Lage. Verschiedene Verzahnungen von Diktatur und Patriarchat werden durch die Perspektive weiblichen Erlebens und Erzählens beleuchtet. Im Vordergrund steht die Frage, ob sich die Sprache von weiblichen literarischen Figuren deutlich unterscheidet von dem Sprachgebrauch der männlich besetzten Heldenrollen, und wie sich dies in den beiden Romanen jeweils äußert. Die offizielle Sprache der Macht wird der subversiven Sprache der individuellen Stellungnahme gegenübergestellt.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail s'inscrit dans le cadre d'études de structures nucléaires réalisées en utilisant des réactions de fission induites par neutrons froids. Il décrit successivement les résultats d'une étude sur des noyaux ayant un nombre de neutrons N=50-60, sur le développement d'un marqueur d'événements de fission et enfin sur la production de l'isomère Pt-195m. Chacun des différents sous-thèmes trouve son origine dans la campagne EXILL qui s'est déroulée en 2012-2013 et durant laquelle un spectromètre de grande efficacité pour la détection des rayonnements γ (EXOGAM) a été utilisé auprès du réacteur à haut flux de neutrons de l'Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL). Dans la première partie de cette thèse, les noyaux d'intérêt ont été produits par fission induites par des neutrons sur les cibles fissiles U-235 et Pu-241. Des méthodes de spectroscopie γ ont été appliquées pour l'identification des fragments de fission, l'attribution des transitions γ à un noyau et l'analyse des durées de vie moyenne des états excités. L'analyse des durées de vie moyenne des états excités dans la plage de quelques picosecondes à quelques nanosecondes a été réalisée en utilisant deux méthodes complémentaires. Dans les deux cas, il s'agit de réaliser un spectre en temps construit à partir de la coincidence entre une transition qui alimente le niveau mesuré et une transition qui le désexcite. Les durées de vie moyenne pour les noyaux Kr-92, Kr-93 et Zr-101 sont présentées. Dans la seconde partie, les premiers résultats du développement d'un nouveau détecteur pour la discrimination des fragments de fission sont présentés. Ce marqueur d'événements de fission est destiné à être utilisé sur le spectromètre FIssion Prompt Product γ-ray Spectrometer (FIPPS) de l'ILL. Dans le cadre de cette étude, deux conceptions de détecteurs différentes, basées sur un scintillateur en plastique solide et un scintillateur liquide organique, ont été testées. Dans la troisième partie, la possibilité de la population spécifique de l'isomère de spin dans Pt-195 est examinée au regard particulièrement de son utilisation en tant que radio-isotope en médecine nucléaire. Une telle activation spécifique pourrait être réalisée grâce à l'existence d'états excités dont la structure permettrait une population ciblée dans le cas de l'utilisation de réactions de photo-excitation. La recherche de tels états a été initiée lors d'une expérience de capture de neutrons à EXILL dans laquelle des états potentiels ont été identifiés. L'activation de l'isomère par ces états a ensuite été testée avec des réactions photonucléaires à l'aide du faisceau haute intensité disponible auprès de l'installation γ HIGS de TUNL (Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory, Duke, USA)Within the scope of atomic nuclear structure studies with neutron-induced reactions, this work presents the results of a fission fragment study in the N=50-60 region, the development of a fission event tagger, and the production of the isomer Pt-195m. Each of the different sub-topics has its origin in the 2012/13 EXILL campaign, where nuclear structure studies were carried out with neutron-induced reactions, and explored with a γ-efficient detector array. In the first part of this thesis, the neutron-rich region around neutron number N=50-60 was investigated with neutron-induced fission reactions on the fissile targets U-235 and Pu-241. Gamma spectroscopy methods were applied for the identification of the respective fission fragments, the assignment of γ transitions, and the analysis of lifetimes of excited states. The slope fit method as well as the recently developed generalized centroid difference method were used for the analysis of lifetimes in the low picoseconds to sub-nanoseconds range. Lifetimes for the nuclei Kr-92, Kr-93 and Zr-101 are presented. In the second part, first results of the development of a new detector for the discrimination of fission fragments are presented. This fission event tagger is intended to be used at the FIssion Product Prompt γ-ray Spectrometer (FIPPS) at the Institut Laue-Langevin. Within the scope of this study, two different detector designs, based on a solid plastic scintillator and an organic liquid scintillator, respectively, were tested. In the third part the possibility of the specific population of the spin-isomer in Pt-195 is discussed with special regard to its use as radioisotope in nuclear medicine. Such a specific activation could be realized via certain “doorway states” in photo-excitation reactions. The search for these doorway states was initiated within a neutron capture experiment at EXILL where potential states were found. The activation of the isomer via these states was tested afterwards with photonuclear reactions using the high intense γ-beam HIGS of the TUNL facility

Sabawi, Samah. "Inheriting Exile: Transgenerational Trauma and Palestinian-Australian Identity." Thesis, 2020. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/40718/.
Full textAbstract:
Inheriting Exile is a creative-critical exploration into the Palestinian-Australian experience of trauma, exile, identity and belonging. Through the personal and generational lenses of two writers, father and daughter, it sets out to navigate various modes of transmission of trauma and memory, primarily building on and going beyond Edward Said’s conceptualisation of exile (2001) and Marianne Hirsch’s theorisation of postmemory (Hirsch, 2012).
My thesis has two components. The first is the exegesis, in which I utilise an array of critical and autoethnographic strategies in order to engage with and interrogate Edward Said’s theorisation of the nourishment of the Palestinian identity in exile and Marianne Hirsch’s conceptual framework of postmemory - the transmission of trauma to second and third generation Holocaust survivors who may not have experienced it first-hand. Through bridging together Said and Hirsch’s works, I introduce the notion of ‘inhabitation’. I define inhabitation as a term that reflects the internalisation of both place and displacement, highlighting the myriad of ways in which Palestinians in exile, denied the right to return and to inhabit their homeland, might subsequently become imaginatively inhabited by both desire for the homeland and its denial.
The second component is the creative project: a biographical novel with the working title Coffee with George, based on my father Abdul Karim Sabawi’s life in Palestine. My father is a celebrated Palestinian poet and novelist who was exiled from Gaza in the aftermath of the 1967 War and emigrated to Australia in 1980. In writing his story, I offer an intimate portrayal of the lived experience of first-generation displaced Palestinians: their past traditional way of life in the homeland, the social and cultural environment they were uprooted from and the traumatic memories they continue to carry with them.
This research adds new knowledge to global understandings of what it means to be an exiled Palestinian, or a Palestinian born or raised in diaspora. It also contributes to the ‘trauma genre’ that has so far largely neglected the experience of al-Nakba and its impact on subsequent generations of Palestinians. Al-Nakba literally translates to ‘Catastrophe,’ and is used to refer to the 1948 systematic expulsion and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population and the establishment of the state of Israel on what was the territory of Palestine.
The research also contributes to Australian literature through the creation of new literary work in the form of the biographical novel Coffee with George. Currently, very few creative works by Palestinian-Australians have been published or performed. Literature – theatre, fiction, film and poetry – by offering us insights into personal experience, can provide powerful vehicles to engage our diverse communities and to build cultural and artistic bridges between Australians of all ethnic backgrounds.

Fergus, Larissa. "My sister chaos : women and exile : a novel and inter-layered exegesis." Thesis, 2010. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/30098/.
Full textAbstract:
My Sister Chaos: Women and Exile is a creative writing thesis in a single volume. It
comprises a novel - My Sister Chaos - and exegesis. Both novel and exegesis are
centred around a research question: 'What are some ways of constructing and
representing the idea of exile as it relates to women, particularly as lesbians and as
artists?' The novel responds creatively to the question, and the exegesis engages it
through the forms and processes of academic analysis. The research draws on the
theoretical frameworks of feminist human rights and socio-political theory, as well as
lesbian feminist literary theory and philosophy. Conceptual links and associations are
created, images juxtaposed, and patterns identified to generate new ideas through the
interaction of both creative and 'academic' methodologies. The broad question of how
exile is experienced by women is layered with considerations of how women who reject
'the category of sex' live in a society founded upon that distinction, and how they, as
artists, seek to understand and represent a world to which they do not 'belong.'

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation analogically applies a framework of minor literary analysis to uniquely political units of the built environment. As urbanism is conventionally understood to be executed per the greatest utility of established communal objectives, an underlying politicization is inherent as such forms must adhere to dominant norms of development which potentially marginalize those who practice cultural methods outside normative standards. Employing a uniquely architectural method of environmental justice advocacy, select communities facing disenfranchisement react by self-producing urban-architectural forms ("UAFs") to protect threatened cultural values from marginalization. Installed to subvert the existing power dynamic, such UAFs are potential exhibitions of minor architecture.
Adopting the analytical standards established by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari for evaluating Franz Kafka's literature, this paper tests six UAFs to discover if a minor architecture is possible under contemporary globalization. Employing an enumerated framework of minor production characteristics, an interpretive-historical analysis is the primary method of judgment regarding each unit's execution of minor architecture. Two secondary tests are undertaken to validate the primary findings, the first of which is a physio-logical evaluation that characterizes and measures urban resource utility as per collective minority aims. Second, a newspaper correlation test is undertaken so as to judge the enunciative effectiveness of each community per issues of minority politics.
Of the six cases examined, two have their source in cinema including "Bartertown" of MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME (1985) and the "House on Paper Street" of FIGHT CLUB (1999). The four remaining cases include the Tibetan Government-in-Exile of Dharamsala, India; Student Bonfire of Robertson County, Texas; Isla Vista Recreation & Park District of Santa Barbara County, California; and the Emergent Cannabis Community of Arcata, California. Of all the cases studied, only the Tibetan Government-in-Exile met both the conditions of minor architecture and was validated in terms of practiced urban resource use as well as effective representation in mainstream newsprint. Both cinematic cases failed as minor productions of the built environment. Although they did not find full validation, the three remaining real-world UAFs each were found on a course of minor architectural expression at varying stages of execution.

al-Qassas, Adil. "Displace or Be Displaced Narratives of Multiple Exile in the Sudanese Communities in Australia." Thesis, 2015. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/32313/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists of two parts. Both parts navigate the experience of displacement, in both realist and metaphorical modes, of a number of Sudanese expatriates to Australia. The first part, a fictional account in the form of a novella, employs different points of view to explore a range of diasporic encounters undergone by diverse Sudanese migrants and refugees prior to and during resettlement in Australia. Taking the events of the author’s life as its focus, the second part delves into narratives of personal, inner displacement that have deep roots in the history of Sudan and the question of a common national identity. The exegesis also examines the dynamics of his dualistic relationship with the Sudanese communities in Australia while sharing many of the same challenges and crises. His perspective, which can be understood in different ways as being partly inside and partly outside in relation to those communities and the wider Australian community, provides a position from which to view a series of Otherings and exclusions that challenge and displace identity while also contributing to the ‘forming’ of it.
The novella, centred on a café in an inner suburb of Melbourne, portrays different responses, narrated in the protagonists own voices, to a conflict that erupts from a simple remark to which a renowned retired Sudanese football (soccer) player takes offence. Their responses, revealed to the narrator in private, allow the reader to listen to the diversity of personal histories and views that are able to exist and collide within larger national and postcolonial histories, the signs of which act in unexpected ways.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: In the 1930s, with the rise of Nazism, many artists in Europe had to flee their homelands and sought refuge in the United States. Austrian composer Hanns Eisler who had risen to prominence as a significant composer during the Weimar era was among them. A Jew, an ardent Marxist and composer devoted to musical modernism, he had established himself as a writer of film music and Kampflieder, fighting songs, for the European workers' movement. After two visits of the United States in the mid-1930s, Eisler settled in America where he spent a decade (1938-1948), composed a considerable number of musical works, including important film scores, instrumental music and songs, and, in collaboration with Theodor W. Adorno, penned the influential treatise Composing for the Films. Yet despite his substantial contributions to American culture American scholarship on Eisler has remained sparse, perhaps due to his reputation as the "Karl Marx in Music." In this study I examine Eisler's American exile and argue that Eisler, through his roles as a musician and a teacher, actively sought to enrich American culture. I will present background for his exile years, a detailed overview of his American career as well as analyses and close readings of several of his American works, including three of his American film scores, Pete Roleum and His Cousins (1939), Hangmen Also Die (1943), and None But the Lonely Heart (1944), and the String Quartet (1940), Third Piano Sonata (1943), Woodbury Liederbüchlein (1941), and Hollywood Songbook (1942-7). This thesis builds upon unpublished correspondence and documents available only in special collections at the University of Southern California (USC), as well as film scores in archives at USC and the University of California, Los Angeles. It also draws on Eisler studies by such European scholars as Albrecht Betz, Jürgen Schebera, and Horst Weber, as well as on research of film music scholars Sally Bick and Claudia Gorbman. As there is little written on the particulars of Eisler's American years, this thesis presents new facts and new perspectives and aims at a better understanding of the artistic achievements of this composer.Dissertation/Thesis

Dżabagina, Anna. "Eleonory Kalkowskiej (1883-1937) polsko-niemiecka twórczość i jej recepcja." Doctoral thesis, 2019. https://depotuw.ceon.pl/handle/item/3423.
Full textAbstract:
Niniejsza rozprawa jest pierwszą próbą monograficznego zarysowania "mapy" twórczości i recepcji Eleonory Kalkowskiej: polsko-niemieckiej autorki i dramatopisarki; istotnej, choć zapoznanej, agentce sieci transnarodowego modernizmu. W dotychczasowych badaniach historycznoliterackich Kalkowska funkcjonowała przede wszystkim jako autorka paru sztuk (głównie napisanych w latach 1929-1932 „Sprawy Jakubowskiego” i „Doniesień drobnych”), które przyporządkowały jej dorobek do nurtu politycznego Zeittheater okresu Republiki Weimarskiej. Niniejsza rozprawa dowodzi, że był to jeden z powodów marginalizacji Kalkowskiej w zarówno niemieckiej, jak i polskiej historii literatury. Nie bez znaczenia była też kwestia niejednoznacznej, wielopozycyjnej przynależności narodowej, która na różnych płaszczyznach interferowała z recepcją jej twórczości i wpłynęła na wymazanie autorki z unarodowionych kanonów literackich. Do najważniejszych zadań niniejszej rozprawy należało zatem – z jednej strony – zaprezentowanie przypadku Kalkowskiej jako autorki tekstów znacznie wykraczających poza wąskie ramy kategorii Zeittheater (takich jak m.in. młodopolski zbiór opowiadań "Głód życia" z 1904, feministyczno-pacyfistyczny tom poezji "Der Rauch des Opfers" z 1916, "herstoryczna" sztuka poświęcona carycy Katarzynie ["Katharina", ok. 1926] czy "L'Arc de Triomphe", który zaświadcza o zainteresowaniu pisarki tematyką egzystencjalną). Zaś z drugiej strony, opisanie mechanizmów interferencji pomiędzy kategoriami przynależności narodowej, narzucanymi Kalkowskiej (która określała siebie jako "ucieleśniony skrawek Paneuropy"), a recepcją jej twórczości (i ostatecznie: marginalizacją jej dorobku w obrębie unarodowionych historii literatury).
Główne metodologiczne inspiracje, patronujące niniejszej rozprawie, są zaczerpnięte ze studiów, rozwijanych w ramach tak zwanego "zwrotu przestrzennego". Autorka wykorzystuje koncepcje z takich jego nurtów jak geopoetyka, studia nad modernizmem transnarodowym i uchodźczym (exile studies), a także z zakresu feminizmu umiejscawiania. Istotną dla niniejszej rozprawy jest również idea "światowej republiki literatury" Pascale Casanovy, która opisała m.in. mechanizmy rządzące transnarodowym polem literackim oraz wymagania, stawiane pisarzom języków o "niższej" pozycji w hierarchii "światowego" literackiego prestiżu.
Rozprawa jest podzielona na trzy części, których granice podyktowane zostały przez biograficzno-chronologiczne ramy. Część pierwsza ("Migracje") obejmuje lata 1883-1918 i etap nomadycznych poszukiwań Kalkowskiej (zarówno artystycznych, jak i geograficznych). W drugiej ("Zamek i poetka") zrekonstruowana została działalność pisarki w modernistycznym, kosmopolitycznym Berlinie okresu weimarskiego (1919-1933): jej starania o trafienie na scenę oraz punkt szczytowy kariery, gwałtownie przerwany przez dojście NSDAP do władzy. Część trzecia ("Exodus") dotyczy uchodźczych lat Kalkowskiej (1933-1937), spędzonych w Paryżu i Londynie pomiędzy tysiącami innych wygnańców, którzy w późniejszej historii literatury nazwani zostali formacją "modernizmu uchodźczego". W tym świetle przypadek Kalkowskiej jawi się jako ważne ogniwo w historii różnych "geomodernizmów". Zamykający rozprawę „Epilog” pokazuje, w jaki sposób wpisuje się ona w nowe nurty badań historycznoliterackich.This doctoral thesis is the first attempt to draw a monographical ‘map’ of works and reception of Eleonore Kalkowska, Polish-German modernist poet and playwright, an important, yet forgotten, border-crossing agent of transnational modernism network. In previous studies, Kalkowska functioned mainly as an author of few plays ("Josef" and "Zeitungsnotizen"), written between 1929-1932, which connected her only with political Zeittheater of Weimar Republic. This dissertation argues that it was one of the reasons for Kalkowska’s marginalization in – both Polish and German – literary history. Another factor of this marginalization was Kalkowska's ambiguous, multipositional national affiliation, which interfered with her works and its reception differently in different locations, and ultimately led to her erasure from ‘nationalised’ literary canons. Therefore, the main axis of this thesis is, on the one hand, to present Kalkowska’s case beyond the category of Zeittheater (as an author of e.g. modernist Polish short-stories collection "Głód życia" [The Hunger of Life, 1904], feminist-pacifist poetry from "Der Rauch des Opfers" [The Smoke of Sacrifice, 1916], herstorical play on Catherine the Great ["Katharina", ca. 1926] or "L’Arc de Triomphe" [Triumphal Arch, ca. 1934], which shows Kalkowska’s interest in existential issues). And on the other, is to describe the mechanism of interferences between national categories, which was imposed on Kalkowska (who was describing herself as an „embodied piece of Pan-Europa’s body”), and the reception of her works (eventually: a marginalization from nationalized literary histories). Main methodological inspirations of this thesis are taken from literary studies, which were developed as a part of ‘spatial turn’. The author uses concepts from ‘geopoetics’, studies of transnational modernism and exile studies, last but not least – locational feminism. An important concept for this thesis is also the idea of the ‘World Republic of Letters’ by Pascale Casanova, who described e.g. the mechanisms governing the transnational literary field and the requirements posed to writers from languages of ‘lower’ positions in the hierarchy of ‘world’ literary prestige. The doctoral thesis is divided into three parts, framed by the chronological and biographical boundaries. The first ("Migrations") tackles the years between 1883-1918 and the stage of Kalkowska’s nomadic explorations (both artistical and geographical). The second ("The Castle and the Poetess") shows Kalkowska’s years in modernist, Weimar Berlin (1918-1933) – it analyses her artistic networks and constellations, describes her way onto the stage and the high point of her literary career, which was abruptly interrupted by Hitler's rise to power. The third part ("Exodus") tackles the years of exile, which Kalkowska spent in Paris and London, among thousands of other exiles, who were eventually named as a formation of ‘exile modernism’. In this light, Kalkowska’s case appears to be an important link in the history of different ‘geomodernisms’. An Epilogue, which closes this thesis, shows how it corresponds with the new currents of literary history studies.
