Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 1998 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2 (B), University of Aberdeen (English Seminar), course: Romantics and Revolutionaries, language: English, abstract: In this essay, I will approach the term 'Jacobin novel' with several definitions, attempting to cover as many aspects of William Godwin's novel Caleb Williams and its background as possible. I will discuss with each definition whether it is applicable to the novel, or not. In the first part of the essay, the definition will be concerned with the political background of the author, mainly. Then I will consider the political philosophy inherent in the novel itself. Finally, I will investigate the aesthetics of Caleb Williams, and discuss whether these contradict the political content of the novel.The first difficulties when trying to define the term 'Jacobin novel' arise with the word 'Jacobin.' It has been used in the English Revolution debate of the 1790s mainly by the conservatives, counter-revolutionaries, or 'Anti-Jacobins' to name, or rather denounce, the supporters of the French Revolution. These had rather little to do with the particular political movement of revolutionary France which went under that name. [T]he term 'Jacobin' itself is misleading, since most of those in Britain who bore that label were in fact Girondins in their principles and beliefs, and took their political thought from native rather than French precedents.The name 'Jacobin,' however, was at least partly accepted by the English supporters of the French Revolution (Kelly 2), and is useful as an umbrella term for the relatively heterogeneous group of progressive political forces in the 1790s.2 As the author of Enquiry Concerning Political Justice and several pamphlets, Godwin was 'obviously directly involved in organized English Jacobinism in the early 1790s' (Kelly 4).…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 1998 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1 (A), University of Aberdeen (English Department), course: Read the City - Read the Text, language: English, abstract: Edward W. Soja called Los Angeles 'the quintessential postmodern metropolis'. This, however, shall not be the premise of my argument in this essay, because of the obvious danger of circularity. Yet I will use postmodern critics and compare my findings to postmodern models of culture, space and society. I will not discuss the term postmodernism itself, simply because the range of this essay does not allow my entering this ongoing debate. The term will be used as denoting both a period, beginning, for my purposes, in the 1960s, and a theory of cultural tendencies in contemporary life. For this essay, I will assume that postmodernism is a fact, a part of everyday reality, and that it differs substantially from modernism. The main body of this essay will consist of a discussion of the fundamental factors which define Los Angeles as postmodern space. I will focus on particularities that distinguish Los Angeles from other cities, most of all from those which have not yet crossed the threshold of postmodernity. Firstly, I will investigate the geographical instability of the city; the fact that it is threatened to be annihilated by natural forces such as earthquakes and the desert. Secondly, I will address the idea of the city as a desert, its horizontality, its vastness, its lack of centre. Thirdly, the structure on this flat surface will be addressed; the freeways as an arterial network, and the structure of segregating walls, both literal and metaphorical. Finally, I will conclude by investigating the parallels between the idea of instability that underlies all of the factors I discuss, and the notion of the unstable in postmodernism. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 1998 in the subject Film Science, grade: 1, University of Aberdeen (English Department), course: American Film Renaissance, language: English, abstract: The term 'postmodern' has been used in different areas of study to describe similar phenomena. However, one must differentiate between postmodernism as a historical period, a cultural theory and an aesthetic category. The latter two uses will be the most important ones for my essay. It is essential for my discussion to include theories on postmodern culture, because the relationship between the real and its representation, and the zeitgeist as presented in film, is of vital importance for postmodern film. I will not define the term postmodernism here, on the one hand because the brevity of this essay does not allow my entering this ongoing debate, and, on the other hand, because the term itself escapes any fixed definition - it is rather a set of different tendencies.The terms 'postmodernism' or 'the postmodern' are less precise categories than different versions of an all-embracing gesture which sums up a spirit of the times, an atmosphere.1However, to be able to discuss whether or not Jim Jarmusch's and David Lynch's films are postmodern, I must first find a definition for 'postmodern film'. One would expect a postmodern film to tackle the postmodern condition, life in postmodernity, as its subject matter. Since the differences in class, gender and ethnicity are central to the discussion of postmodernism,2 one can assume that these categories are equally important for the plot of a postmodern film. However, Down and Out in Beverly Hills is a film about life in the postmodern city and deals with questions of class and gender, but it is conventional in its style and structure, and obviously far from being a postmodern film. Thus not only the subject matter, but also the audiovisual style and narrative structure of a film should display postmodern characteristics.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 1998 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1 (A), University of Aberdeen (English Department), course: Tristram Shandy, language: English, abstract: Metafiction, according to Patricia Waugh, consists of 'the construction of a fictional illusion (as in traditional realism) and the laying bare of that illusion'. Tristram Shandy, I will argue in this essay, undermines fictional illusion by foregrounding 'the most fundamental set of all narrative conventions: those concerning the representations of time' (Waugh 70). I will exemplify this by trying to apply a conventional set of narratological terms to Tristram Shandy. I will show that these terms, which are based on conventional narratives, are neither exhaustive nor distinctive when one tries to use them for Tristram Shandy. Narrative fiction, Rimmon-Kenan states, has three main aspects: story, text and narration:'Story' designates the narrated events, abstracted from their disposition in the text and reconstructed in their chronological order, together with the participants in these events. Whereas 'story' is a succession of events, 'text' is a spoken or written discourse which undertakes their telling. . Time is essential for all of these three aspects, as will become clear in my discussion. Time in itself, following Rimmon-Kenan, can be viewed in three respects: order, duration, and frequency (p. 46). I will focus on the first two aspects since they are more essential to the novel than frequency.4 Finally, I will discuss whether, after my discussion of Tristram Shandy's time structure, one can conclude that the novel is a metafiction according to Waugh's definition of the term. …

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 1995 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1 (A), University of Zurich (English Seminar), course: Introduction to Literature Part 2, language: English, abstract: This paper is a discussion of mental breakdown and its consequences on the lyrical self in Emily Dickinson's poem #280. It investigates the nature of the breakdown described in the poem as well as its results. The author's conclusion is that Dickinson points towards a new kind of perception beyond sanity, which is mirrored in the poem's use of language.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 1998 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2 (B), University of Aberdeen (English Department), course: Chicano Fiction, language: English, abstract: In this essay, I will address the question of Chicano identity by investigating two very different texts, that both deal with a quest for identity in a Mexican-American context: Tomás Rivera's .And the Earth Did Not Devour Him and Richard Rodriguez' Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez. I will first discuss the contextual differences between the two works. Then I will consider the definitions of identity upon which the texts are based. Going deeper into the works themselves, I will finally discuss along which lines the two quests for identity develop. In conclusion, I will connect my investigations to the question of whether Chicano identity is unified or fragmented.Both Tomás Rivera's .And the Earth Did Not Devour Him and Richard Rodriguez' Hunger of Memory are about an individual searching for his identity. In both works, the protagonist is a Mexican-American or 'Chicano'. However, the differences between the two books are huge. The generic difference is most obvious: Rivera's work is a fictional narrative, which Héctor Calderón termed 'novel-as-tales'.1 Rodriguez, referring to his book, speaks of '[e]ssays impersonating an autobiography' (p. 7). This entails that the subject searching for identity is, in Rodriguez' case, the author himself, or rather his literary image. In Rivera's case, the subject is purely fictional, although some critics have identified this literary subject with the author.…

Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 1999 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1 (A), University of Zurich (English Seminar), course: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses how the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight uses, explores and sometimes undermines the conventions of the Arthurian romance genre. As a basis for this investigation, a definition of the genre is sketched, using a structuralist model along with a set of typical motifs found in many romances. Having established the essential genre elements the papier then examines the way the Gawain-poet makes use of these in his text. After identifying the fundamentally generic structure of the poem the author concentrates on incidents where the poet plays ironically with the reader's genre expectations.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Swiss Diploma Thesis from the year 2000 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.5 (A), University of Zurich (English Seminar), language: English, abstract: Philip K. Dick's science fiction can be seen as a discussion of the human condition in a world where nothing is what it seems. Human identity has become uncertain, as has the nature of reality itself. This Dickian ontology has a striking similarity to postmodernist theories by thinkers such as Jameson, Baudrillard and McHale, most of whom, by the way, have a weak spot for science fiction. The discussion of Philip K. Dick's novels and short stories against a backdrop of postmodernist theory leads to conclusions that are not only relevant for the author's particular poetics, but for the ontology of our lives in times that science fiction couldn't have imagined. This work focusses on Philip K. Dick's unstable worlds and subjects, investigating Dickian space, time and meaning as well as the author's subjects and the question of schizophrenia and paranoia. Works discussed include Ubik, Time Out of Joint, The Man in the High Castle, A Maze of Death, Eye in the Sky, A Scanner Darkly, Martian Time-Slip and Impostor.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 1997 im Fachbereich Filmwissenschaft, Note: 1, Universität Zürich (Filmwissenschaftliches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Die Figur im Spielfilm, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit soll am Beispiel von Robert Altmans Short Cuts die wichtigsten Probleme aufzeigen, die ein Film ohne Hauptfigur mit sich bringt und Strategien zur Lösung dieser Probleme in Short Cuts untersuchen. Als Vergleichsbasis soll dazu zuerst das gängige Modell des klassischen Hollywood dargestellt werden, also Filme mit Hauptfigur. In einem nächsten Schritt werde ich die Figurenkonstellation in Short Cuts diesem Modell gegenüberstellen und die Schwierigkeiten eines Films ohne Hauptfigur diskutieren. Der Hauptteil der Arbeit untersucht die Strategien, die Altman zur Lösung dieser Probleme anwendet. Dabei geht es hauptsächlich um Vereinheitlichung auf den Ebenen Zeit, Raum und Handlung. Die Einheit der Handlung wird, wie ich zeigen werde, hauptsächlich durch die Vernetzung der Figuren erreicht. Bei der Untersuchung dieses Figurenmosaiks werde ich zwei Arten von Verbindung unterscheiden: kohäsive und kohärente Verbindungen. Diese beiden Begriffe sind der Textlinguistik entnommen, es scheint mir aber sinnvoll zu sein, diese auch auf filmische Narration anzuwenden. Die beiden Begriffe sollen hier folgendermassen definiert sein: Kohäsion schafft Verbindung durch Wiederholung ähnlicher oder gleicher Elemente auf der Oberflächenstruktur. Beim schriftlichen Text wären dies Mittel wie Wortwiederholung, Synonyme oder Pronomen. Im Film sind wiederkehrende Figuren oder Orte kohäsive Elemente. Kohärenz schafft Verbindung durch Wiederholung ähnlicher Elemente in der Tiefenstruktur. Im Text wie im Film entspricht dies der wiederholten Referenz auf ein Thema, logischen Verknüpfungen und Kausalität.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 1999 im Fachbereich Filmwissenschaft, Note: 1, Universität Zürich (Filmwissenschaftliches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Das Phänomen Remake, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit soll David Cronenbergs The Fly (1986) als Remake von Kurt Neumanns The Fly (1958) interpretieren. Das erste Kapitel wird zeigen, daß diese Lesart gerechtfertigt ist, obwohl die Bezüge des zweiten Films auf den ersten bei einer oberflächlichen Visionierung kaum ins Auge springen.1 Dieses Kapitel wird die tiefgehenden Parallelen zwischen den Motiven, dem Plot und der Figurenkonstellation der beiden Filme aufzeigen und sie in einer Kernhandlung zusammenfassen. Die restliche Arbeit wird einen Dialog des Cronenberg-Films mit dem Neumann-Film aufzeigen und auf Strategien eingehen, nach denen das Remake den Hypotext verändert. Die erste Strategie ist eine dramaturgische Konzentration. Cronenberg verkleinert die Figurenkonstellation und gibt der männlichen Hauptfigur mehr Raum.2 Außerdem akzentuiert er die melodramatische Handlung des Films und verknüpft diese enger mit der Science Fiction Handlung. In den letzten beiden Kapiteln wird es dann um die Thematik der beiden Filme gehen. Hier wendet Cronenberg eine Strategie an, die ich Verinnerlichung-Veräußerlichung nenne; er greift Themen und Motive auf, verlegt sie ins Innere der Figuren, nur um dieses Innerste wieder nach außen zu kehren. Diese Strategie werde ich anhand von vier Beispielen erläutern, bei denen ich Parallelen und Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Filme darstellen werde, um dann die Konsequenzen der Unterschiede zu deuten.…
