Koloshuk, Nadiia. « IMAGE OF V. PETROV-DOMONTOVYCH IN MEMOIRS AND CORRESPONDENCE OF HIS CONTEMPORARIES-EMIGRANTS ». LITERARY PROCESS : methodology, names, trends, no 17 (2021) : 45–54. http://dx.doi.org/10.28925/2412-2475.2021.17.6.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Actuality. The modern study of literature now does not give the answer for a question, if it is possible to create a character of a man from the life by facilities of nonfiction narration, however, it is convincing and full-blooded in the reader’s perception as an artistic image. Stating the Subject of the Study: forming of character-image of writer V. Petrov-Domontovych in the circle of the Ukrainian emigrants of the post-war wave due to their remembrances, letters, and essays. Research methodology: through the comparative hermeneutic interpretation of texts, and also later fiction texts that formed the character-image of V. Petrov. Stating the Aim of the Study. Other mechanisms of reader reception work in nonfiction genres, then in fiction, id est it becomes possible another result – the character of real V. Petrov. Results of the Study and originality. The image of Victor Petrov, formed in the memory of representatives of Ukrainian literary emigration and recorded in their memoirs and correspondence, is no less ambivalent, than images of characters in the fictional works of Victor Domontovych. Expatriate contemporaries saw their colleague differently and remembered in different situations, however, it is significant that people, in many respects disagree with moral assessments, hostile to others (as Ihor Kachurovsky, who always biased towards Yuri Sherekh-Shevelov and even repeated stereotyped allegations against him after his death) they were largely controversial in the estimation of V. Petrov. On the one hand, V. Domontovych deserved respect as a talented prose writer; on the other hand, V. Petrov was a mystery as a person. His collaboration with the Soviet special services did not cause unequivocal condemnation, since the circumstances of his "disappearance" from Munich in 1949 remained unclear. Most of those people who spoke about this event immediately after it was treated to the disappeared man with compassion because they suspected the "human beings"-brothers (Yuriy Lavrinenko) from the Soviet side. Image of V. Petrov mostly appears "split", as well as images of characters in the novels of V. Domontovich. The practical significance. In non-fictional texts, the researcher can trace the path of the formation of the image and stereotype, returning and approaching the prototype.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Resum: El drama Lucrèce Borgia de Victor Hugo confereix al personatge històric una sèrie d’atributs en sintonia amb el gust sensacionalista de l’època: en ser dona, poderosa, bella i formada. Lucrècia Borja és el millor exemple d’allò que Kristeva anomena «l’abjecte» en les Pouvoirs de l’horreur (1980). Una imatge de femme fatale lligada al verí o l’incest que es popularitzarà gràcies a les nombroses obres derivades del drama: de l’òpera de Donizetti als romanços populars de manera que les característiques del personatge de ficció s’imposaran a l’històric en l’imaginari col·lectiu. Lucrècia Borja, que fins aleshores havia estat considerada un instrument al servei de les polítiques familiars, entrarà a formar part per «mèrits» propis del triangle del mal junt amb l germà, Cèsar Borja, i son pare, el papa Alexandre VI. Paraules clau: Lucrècia Borja, Victor Hugo, Gaetano Donizetti, llegenda negra, literatura de cordell, paròdia, segle XIX, Francesc Godó, abjecte Abstract: The Victor Hugo’s drama Lucrezia Borgia gives to the historical character some attributes in line with the sensationalist preferences of that time: being a female, powerful, beautiful and educated. Lucrezia Borgia is the best example of what Kristeva names «the abject» in Pouvoirs de l’horreur (1980). The character is a femme fatale image linked to poison or incest and it was popularized thanks to the many works resulting from this drama. So that, the features of the fictional character prevailed to the real historical character in the popular beliefs, this happened in Donizetti's opera, but also in the chapbooks of that time. Lucrezia Borgia had previously been considered an instrument in the service for family policies, but she became part of an evil triangle, thanks to her own attitude, along with her brother, Cesare Borgia, and her father, the pope Alexander VI.

Toorawa, Shawkat M. « The Modern Literary (After)lives of al-Khiḍr ». Journal of Qur'anic Studies 16, no 3 (octobre 2014) : 174–95. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/jqs.2014.0172.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Prominent examples of major Qur'anic characters in modern world literature include Joseph (and Zulaykha) -like characters in the 1984 Arabic novel, al-Rahīna (The Hostage) by the Yemeni writer Zayd Muṭīʿ Dammāj (d. 2000) and the fictionalised portrayal of the women around the Prophet Muḥammad in Algerian filmmaker and novelist Assia Djebar's 1991 French novel, Loin de Médine (Far from Medina). In this article I focus, rather, on a ‘minor’ Qur'anic character, al-Khiḍr (cf. Q. 18:65–82). I begin by looking briefly at the evolution of al-Khiḍr in Islamic literatures generally and then focus on his deployment in several short fictional accounts, viz. the 1995 French novella L'homme du livre (Muhammad, A Novel) by Moroccan author Driss Chraïbi (d. 2007); Victor Pelevin's 1994 Russian short story, ‘Prints Gosplana’ (Prince of Gosplan); the 1998 short story, ‘The Mapmakers of Spitalfields’, by Bangladeshi-British writer Manzu Islam; and Reza Daneshvar's 2004 Persian tale, ‘Mahboobeh va-Āl’ (‘Mahboobeh and Ahl’). I characterise the ways in which these modern authors draw on the al-Khiḍr type, persona, and legend, and go on to suggest how and why the use of al-Khiḍr in modern literature is productive and versatile.

Brustur, Ioana Camelia. « Instances of fame in postmodern fictional works an analysis based on Philip Roth’s and Marin Preda’s novels ». Swedish Journal of Romanian Studies 6, no 1 (15 mai 2023) : 268–82. http://dx.doi.org/10.35824/sjrs.v6i1.24896.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This article will discuss multiple instances of fame in postmodern fictional works. The authors chosen are Philip Roth, the American author well known for works such as “I Married a Communist”, “The Human Stain”, “The Dying Animal” etc. and Marin Preda, the Romanian author who wrote “The Moromete Family”, “The Intruder”, “The Delirium”. The novels representing the postmodern literary current in this article “merican Pastoral (1997)” and “The Most Beloved of Earthlings (1980)”. Through a close analysis of the main characters and the most important events in the novel, the theme of fame will be observed in multiple instances such as the historical point of view, the sociological point of view, the psychological point of view. The first part of the article will introduce the reader to Philip Roth and one of his most famous novels “American Pastoral” in which the theme of fame suffers a metamorphosis because of the events that take place in the novel and therefore affect the main character. In this part the concept of deconstruction will be observed and conceptualized with examples from the novel, the depiction of the utopic world through the American dream, and finally, the transformation of this world into a dystopian one because of the social issues presented in the novel. The social issues presented are related to true historical events which took place in the 1960’s in America. These events are also represented in the micro universe of the main character through the family problems of the main character. The second part of the article will focus on a comparison between the main characters of the novels stated above, Seymour Levov respectively Victor Petrini. This comparison is based on the analysis of their physical and behavioral characteristics and finally, some significant events they are part of. In this section, the concept of dandy will be discussed, and relevant examples will be given to demonstrate that both have traits in this direction. This article aims to prove that the theme of fame in postmodern fictional works is a topic worth studying. It brings new viewpoints upon the American and Romanian postmodern works because of the complexity and multiplicity of concepts that come into its construction. Also, I intend to demonstrate how certain social issues, such as the impact of totalitarian regimes on society, influenced the writers to create works in which the effect of these problems is visible on successful people. The theme of fame in postmodern fictional works in these two novels encompasses myths and literary concepts, creating the impression of the perfect world for the perfect celebrity. Finally, the authors chose to transform everything into chaos and destroy this seducing illusion, converting fame into disgrace.

Myslina, Julia N. « The Joyce’s Tradition of V. Pelevin’s Novel «Empire ‘V’» : from Anti-scientism to the Invention of a New Character ». Вестник Пермского университета. Российская и зарубежная филология 14, no 4 (2022) : 94–105. http://dx.doi.org/10.17072/2073-6681-2022-4-94-105.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The article examines how Joyce’s detached attitude to progress in the novel Ulysses transforms into the parody-comic anti-scientism of Victor Pelevin’s novel Empire ‘V’. The Russian author not only refuses to recognize positive ontology as of scientific mood but also reduces its mission only to the destruction of reality and return to the basic intuition. The paper proves that Joyce’s methods of splitting the consciousness of the one acquiring scientific knowledge (cognizer) are rethought by Pelevin as the cognizer’s consciousness multiplied to infinity, which produces a subjective multiple reality, turning into a hypertext. Therefore, Pelevin turns Joyce’s hypostatized elements into independent agents, being characters of a new type. These characters are faced with the question of their real / possible existence in a subjective multiple reality. Thus, these new characters are interpreted within the framework of the subject-object antinomy, as fiction proceeds from subject-object relations. The paper aims to determine the influence of the Joycean principle of splitting subjective consciousness in Ulysses on the creation by V. Pelevin of characters and ways of expressing the new type in Empire ‘V’. The subject of study is the features of the invention of the new-type characters as a tool for organizing fictional decisions in Pelevin’s novel Empire ‘V’. The paper is the first study to prove that the artistic method showing the split consciousness in the heroes of the Pelevin’s novel directly develops Joyce’s epistemological tradition of the cognizer’s crisis, but in the era of weird-philosophy. The main research techniques employed: comparative method, historical and cultural contextualization, discourse analysis.

Rasheed, Lamiaa Ahmed. « The Portrayal of Human Chaotic Behaviors as Exemplified in Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke ». JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE STUDIES 8, no 6 (30 juin 2024) : 67–76. http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/lang.8.6.4.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Chaotic human behavior refers to the exhibition of unpredictable, disrupted, or disordered manners. The chaotic individuals embrace chaos as a means of self-expression or rebellion against particular harmful experience and to defy societal norms. They act impulsively and destructively; their behavior may stem from a desire to disrupt established systems or challenge authority. When they reach the edge of chaos, the most exciting place to be, though it is insecure condition sometimes, to get balance between order and chaos, they manage to overcome their limitations and liberating themselves from the self-destructing thoughts, accordingly they reorder the disorder and chaos. In fiction, such characters often create conflicts and unpredictability within the story. They can serve as catalysts for conflict, pushing other characters to question their own beliefs or take action. Fictional example of chaotic characters include in Chalk Palahniuk's Choke. This paper aims at analyzing the human behavior within a chaotic system and suggests chaos theory as a systematic approach to analyze the novel Choke, demonstrating human behavior between determinism and free will within a chaotic system, handling the life of its main character, Victor, who live in chaos as a consequence of his damaging childhood and his struggle scrutinizing his behavior to get order back. He advocates for anarchy and destruction as a means of personal liberation, whose violent and antisocial behavior challenges the boundaries of morality. This novel serves as catalysts for chaos and reordering the disorder. To attain this aim, the study adapts chaos theory as an approach of analyzing this topic in Choke. At the end when he reached the maximum of chaos, he gets the balance between order and chaos liberating himself from his self-destructive thoughts. He owns eventually a free will to change his destiny and find out new paths of happiness and self-organization.

Texte intégralRésumé :
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fictional characters give literary works a sense of reality. The actions of fictional characters play a crucial role in children's personality development. Young readers who lack critical reading skills are more likely to incorporate fictional characters into their lives because they have a hard time telling reality from fiction. Therefore, we should determine how children perceive fictional characters and teach them that they are imaginary figures. In this way, we can help them approach those characters' actions from an external and critical perspective. This study adopted a qualitative research design (case study) to investigate secondary school students' perceptions of fictional characters. The sample consisted of 45 secondary school students (28 female and 17 male). Data were collected through interviews and document review techniques. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Results showed that participants were more likely to be interested in and identify with characters with appealing personality traits. They had four types of approaches to fictional characters: (1) Wanting to change the storyline depending on what the fictional character goes through, (2) being influenced by them, (3) seeing them as role models, or (4) ignoring them. They wanted to change the storyline, especially when the villain got what he wanted or when the hero or the victim was unhappy, suggesting that they mostly took the protagonist's side (the good guy). While most participants attributed an ontological meaning to anthropomorphic characters, the symbolic meaning became of secondary importance. They were more interested in and identified more with characters with good living conditions and no death experiences.</p>

Texte intégralRésumé :
Beginning with a case in Part 1 of this article, I illustrate a key difference between the person who comes to therapy and the figure(s) who come for therapy. In Part 2, I describe some features of a literary approach that attend to this difference and animate diagnostic descriptions with images and stories found in literature. Using Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and drawing on my rereading of her tale, I demonstrate in Part 3 how the character of Victor Frankenstein and his story vividly personify and enrich the DSM category of narcissistic personality disorder. This approach does not reduce Victor Frankenstein and his story to the diagnosis; it magnifies the diagnostic category through the lens of his image and his story.

Briedik, Adam. « A postcolonial feminist dystopia : Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale ». Ars Aeterna 13, no 1 (1 juin 2021) : 57–67. http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/aa-2021-0004.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Postcolonial criticism offers a radically new platform for the interpretation of science fiction texts. Mostly preoccupied with the themes of alien other and interstellar colonization, the genre of sci-fi breaths with colonial discourse and postcolonial tropes and imagery. Although Margaret Atwood rejects the label of science fiction writer, her dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) explores similar ethical concerns to the anti-conquest narratives of postcolonial authors. Atwood’s identification of Canadian identity as a victim of the former British Empire is challenged by her introduction of a female character rejecting their postcolonial subjugated identity in a patriarchal society. Her variation on dystopian concerns is motivated by sexuality, and her characters are reduced to objects of colonial desire with no agency. The protagonist, Offred, endures double colonization from the feminist perspective; yet, in terms of postcolonial criticism, Attwood’s character of Offred is allowed to reconstruct her subaltern identity through her fragmented narration of the past and speak in an authoritative voice. The orality of her narration only confirms the predisposition of the text to interpretation in the same terms as postcolonial fiction.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article is devoted to the study of the work of the Tomsk science fiction writer, member of the Union of Writers of the USSR Viktor Dmitrievich Kolupaev (1936-2001). The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the representation of the category of fiction space and time in the poetics of the fiction writer's short prose based on the novella "Dzyapiki" (1989). The theoretical basis of the research was made up of works devoted to the consideration of the spatio-temporal organization of the literary text in science fiction works. The practical significance of the article is that its materials and general conclusions can be used in the study of the history of Russian literature and Soviet fiction, regional literature in the framework of special courses. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the study of the spatio-temporal organization of Kolupaev's short prose, as well as in the involvement of a previously unexplored novella as a research material, which is important for understanding the originality of the author's fiction world. The three-part chronotope system is defined and analyzed, the originality of the time travel plot used for traditional science fiction in order to reveal social issues is revealed. Three chronotopes (the epoch of the Dziapiks, real time and their mixing), the characteristic features of which are represented in the landscapes and characters allow us to depict the shortcomings of the system that negatively affects a person.

Beeler, Connie. « Miscegenated Narration : The Effects of Interracialism in Women's Popular Sentimental Romances from the Civil War Years ». Thesis, University of North Texas, 2011. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc67958/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Critical work on popular American women's fiction still has not reckoned adequately with the themes of interracialism present in these novels and with interracialism's bearing on the sentimental. This thesis considers an often overlooked body of women's popular sentimental fiction, published from 1860-1865, which is interested in themes of interracial romance or reproduction, in order to provide a fuller picture of the impact that the intersection of interracialism and sentimentalism has had on American identity. By examining the literary strategy of "miscegenated narration," or the heteroglossic cacophony of narrative voices and ideological viewpoints that interracialism produces in a narrative, I argue that the hegemonic ideologies of the sentimental romance are both "deterritorialized" and "reterritorialized," a conflicted impulse that characterizes both nineteenth-century sentimental, interracial romances and the broader project of critiquing the dominant national narrative that these novels undertake.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Cette thèse a pour objectif d’établir certains principes d’une potentielle théorisation de l’écriture biographiques. En liant des exemples prosaïques du XIXe siècle à certaines bases théoriques du XXIe siècle, il est question d’explorer les récurrences qui ont contribué à faire de certaines biographies des succès ou des échecs. En tant que biographe, essayiste et critique, Giles Lytton Strachey (1880-1932) est un sujet d’étude idéal qui permet d’analyser la relation entre le biographe, le biographié et le lecteur. Puis, selon le schéma structurel de la métahistoire proposé par Hayden White, il est possible d’émettre l’hypothèse que la biographie peut être un genre à part entière autant du point de vue de la forme que du fondThe objective of this thesis attempts to illustrate a series of principles which could potentially lead to a theorisation of biographical writing. By exposing prosaic literary examples of the XIX century and certain theoretical bases of the XXI century, it is possible to depict recurrences that have contributed to the success or failure of various biographical works. Giles Lytton Strachey (1880-1932) as a biographer, essayist and critic appears to be the ideal subject that enables one to analyse the relationship between biographers, biographees and readers. Furthermore, the structural scheme of metahistory, as suggested by Hayden White, brings us one step closer to the assumption that biography can stand as a full-fledged genre both in terms of form and substance

Cunning, David. « Fiction ». Dans Margaret Cavendish, 171–232. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190664053.003.0008.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter features a selection of excerpts from Cavendish’s stories and plays. The passages treat a number of topics and issues: agency; authority; imagination; rhetoric; gender; feminism; social and political capital; the interdependence of creatures; government; war; materialism; the relationship between mind and body; ideas as imagistic pictures; theology; and poetry. In Blazing World, perhaps the first piece of science fiction ever written, Cavendish has her main character (eventually the Empress) transported to an alternate world whose inhabitants take seriously the prospect of a woman in a position of authority, for example as a scientist, mathematician, military strategist, and philosopher. In Bell in Campo, Lady Victoria is regarded as a military authority by a critical mass of the women in her community; she leads them to battle, executes a clever strategy to steal weapons from the enemy, and rescues the male army from defeat. In The She-Anchoret, the main character receives audience after audience of individuals who seek her wisdom and counsel on matters scientific, philosophical, mathematical, political, and theological, to name just a few. All three characters inhabit counterfactual environments that are not antagonistic to the development and reception of their skills and capacities, and they flourish.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter argues that Victor Hugo’s historical Gothic novel Notre-Dame de Paris (1831)—especially in its popular English translation, Hunchback of Notre Dame (1833)—set a precedent in Victorian fiction for investigating the disabled body through narrative form and focalization. The chapter shows how Hugo uses external focalization from a perspective outside the narrative action to portray the disabled body as grotesque and thus inherently deviant but uses strategic internal focalization through characters inside the narrative to destabilize the boundaries between normalcy and abnormality. In particular, focalizing externally on Quasimodo, Hugo separates reader empathy from him and dehumanizes his body; but focalizing through Quasimodo forces readers to share his embodiment, removing the distinction between self and other. Moreover, the chapter contends that the novel’s structural hybridity, which combines disparate genres, enables the dialogic conflict of these two opposing voices and so provides a structural prototype whereby Victorian novels approached disability.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The chapter reviews the fictional account of Ḥusniyya, a slave girl who supposedly bested the leading Sunni scholars of her day, in the late eighth century. When her master died, so the story goes, Ḥusniyya suggested to his son that he sell her to the Caliph, Hārūn al-Rashīd (r. 786-809) for an exorbitant sum. In order to prove her worth, she promised to debate the leading scholars of Baghdad. Once the debate was held, Ḥusniyya won a resounding victory, vindicating Shiite doctrinal positions in law and theology against Sunni opponents. The chapter examines in particular the role of this invented character in the later Twelver biographical tradition, which transformed her into a real person, beginning with the biographical dictionary Riyāḍ al-ʿulamāʾ wa-ḥiyāḍ al-fuḍalāʾ, compiled ca. 1694-95 by Mīrzā ʿAbd Allāh al-Iṣfahānī (d. after 1717). The inclusion of Ḥusniyya in the biographical tradition renders her similar to other women scholars whose accomplishments are mentioned in such texts, equating her authority, however extraordinary or unusual, with theirs, and thus potentially serving as a model for other women scholars.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The anonymous Look About You of 1600 calls for a game of bowls that dilates upon the sport’s propensity to run away with itself. In the midst of a game at bowls played in prison, one character excuses himself for a moment. At that point the other borrows his clothes and escapes in his guise, leaving his competitor “bowling alone,” a victim of social isolation. This chapter argues that bowling offers early modern theatre a theory of isolation but also proximity, velocity, and writing. Indeed, bowling materializes theatre’s sense of its proxemics and ultimately theatricalizes the relationship between dramatic fiction and space, and even offers a plangent metaphor for the role of the writer and his hopes for a return.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter offers an argument for why readers need to know about superhero comics to understand US culture and race. There are significant antiblack elements at the core of the superhero genre. Blackness’s association with criminality, monstrosity, and abjection, in a genre where the superhero is conceived as the virtuous, innocent victor, renders the pairing of “black” and “superhero” almost oxymoronic. Scott examines this paradox through analyses of the origin stories and depictions of the characters Blade and Luke Cage. Scott concludes with a consideration of the first black superhero, the Black Panther; the mythical nation Wakanda; the cultural phenomenon of the 2017 Black Panther movie; and the Nigerian American speculative fiction writer Nnedi Okorafor’s rendition of the Black Panther. A principal formal element of comics—the medium’s discarding of linear temporality and layering of time—enables black superhero stories to navigate the difficult waters of antiblack and racist modern discourse. The Black Panther is an example of how superhero comics can queer the history that produces blackness.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This chapter explores the enduring myths about the phenomenon of serial murder generally and serial killers in particular, in Britain between 1960 to the present. The Chapter argues that many of these myths have been created and continue to be perpetuated by the print and broadcast media. It is suggested that this process was ignited by American popular culture about serial murder, to the extent that many British students engaged on university courses do so because they want to emulate the heroine of the popular novel The Silence of the Lambs and become the fictional character, Clarice Starling. This observation is used to explore other myths about offender profiling, the role of the profiler in police investigations and the idea that this involves entering the mind of the serial killer by the profiler. Based on his own applied work with serial murderers and on police investigations and after their conviction, the chapter reveals the realities of the phenomenon of serial murder, serial killers and the limits of offender profiling. The chapter uses a number of situations encountered during police investigations and with serial killers to illustrate its arguments. It concludes that we need to harness, rather than dismiss, student interests in this territory in more productive ways. It adopts a structural/victim perspective about serial murder, as opposed to a relentless focus on what might motivate the serial killer to kill. The chapter suggests how this might be done both within the academy and, more broadly in public policy.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract When Joseph Conrad’s novelNostromo appeared in 1904,British imperialism was at its self-confident height, for the Boer War had, if anything, increased nationalist fervor. Like all imperial powers, Britain had legitimized direct aggression and informal colonization by claiming a civilizing mission on the Roman model whose visible symbols were the statues of Victoria, orb in hand, presiding like Minerva over the neoclassical facades of banks and exchanges. Wars might rage in farflung outposts; but within the island, at least, there was relatively little interest in questioning the legitimacy of the pax britannica. Even those novelists who apparently dissented from the materialist goals of Victorian society usually turned a blind eye to empire. The colonies, when mentioned at all in fiction, were represented by Thackeray’s nabobs, Dickens’s Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy; or they were those mysterious “foreign parts” into which characters conveniently disappeared or out of which they returned with large, unexplained fortunes. Not until 1902, when J. A. Hobson published Imperialism: A Study, was there any detailed, theoretical critique of the economics of empire building; not until the appearance of Conrad’s novels was there real awareness of the complexity of the effects of empire on the aggressors, as well as on the victims of neocolonialism, nor any novel that charted the national differences between European imperialist ideologies.
