Upplysa, upphetsa, uppmana eller utmana : Vad var syftet med Abdullah Buharis homoerotiska miniatyrmålningar? / Enlighten, excite, encourage and challenge : What was the purpose of Abdullah Buhari's homoerotic miniature paintings?Enarsson, Stina January 2020 (has links)
This essay is primarily focusing on finding the purpose of Abdullah Buhari’s homoerotic miniature paintings. We may never know for sure the sole purpose and know what Buhari’s intentions was when creating these paintings. By creating categories focusing on homoerotic artwork I have tried to answer that question. To be able to create these categories and to further use them as a tool to analyse and discuss Buhari’s artwork, I have analysed and discussed other homoerotic art from different genres and eras and looked for significant characteristics and elements in these work of art that can be connected to each respective category. To support these characteristics and these different categories I have refered to existing research and literature. Although Buhari is mostly known for his artwork portraying women, I chose his homoerotic art as my main focus. Mainly because I was positively surprised when I first saw them and also because I found the lack of references to these homoerotic art rather puzzling. How come one primarily focus on Buharis portrayal of women and heterosexual relations when talking of him and not those portraying manly relations? Since my main focus in this essay, was to analyse art portraying sexual relations between men, and because there are significantly more sources and studies regarding same sex relationship between men I have chosen not to include work portraying woman and lesbian relationships, although a female perspective will be present to some degree since I identify as female myself.

The rake's progress: Masculinities on stage and screen / Masculinities on stage and screenWardell, Kathryn Brenna 06 1900 (has links)
viii, 261 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / My dissertation analyzes the rake, the libertine male, a figure whose liminal masculinity and transgressive appetites work both to stabilize and unsettle hegemony in the texts in which he appears. The rake may seem no more than a sexy bad boy, unconnected to wider social, political, and economic concerns. However, my project reveals his central role in reflecting, even shaping, anxieties and desires regarding gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity. I chart the rake's progress from his origins in the Restoration era to the early twenty-first century. Chapter II examines William Wycherley's comedy The Country Wife in concert with John Dryden's Marriage à la Mode and Aphra Behn's The Rover to analyze the rake's emergence in seventeenth-century theatre and show that his transgression of borders real and figurative plays out the anxieties and aspirations of an emerging British empire. Chapter III uses John Gay's ballad opera The Beggar's Opera, a satiric interrogation of consumerism and criminality, to chart the rake in eighteenth-century British theatre as Britain's investment in global capitalism and imperialism increased. My discussion of Opera is framed by Richard Steele's early-century sentimental comedy The Conscious Lovers and Hannah Cowley's late-century The Belle's Stratagem, a fusion of sentiment and wit. Chapter IV hinges the project's theatre and film sections, analyzing Oscar Wilde's fin-de-siècle comedy The Importance of Being Earnest as a culmination of generations of theatre rakes and an anticipation of the film rakes of the modern and post-modern eras. Dion Boucicault's mid-century London Assurance is used to set up Wilde's queering of the rake figure Chapter V brings the rake to a new medium, film, and a new nation, the United States, as the figure catalyzes American tension over race and gender in early twentieth-century films such as Cecil B. DeMille's The Cheat, George Melford's The Sheik, and Ernest Lubitsch's Trouble in Paradise. My final chapter reads contemporary films, including Jenniphr Goodman's The Tao of Steve, Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz's About a Boy, and Gore Verbinski's trilogy Pirates of the Caribbean for Disney Studios, to assess the ways in which millennial western masculinity is in stasis. / Committee in charge: Dianne Dugaw, Co-Chair;

Nikolaj Kljuev de 1917 à la fin des années 1920 : trajectoire intellectuelle et oeuvre poétique / Nikolai Klyuev from 1917 to the end of the 1920’s : intellectual evolution and poetic worksSinichkina, Daria 10 December 2016 (has links)
Nikolaj Kljuev (1884-1937) est l’une des figures les plus fascinantes de l’« Âge d’argent » russe et du modernisme. Longtemps interdite après son exécution, son œuvre n’a été redécouverte qu’à la faveur du « boom » éditorial de la perestroïka, la publication de poèmes épiques tardifs suscitant un vif intérêt pour son œuvre témoignage de la violence de la collectivisation. Né dans le Nord russe, engagé pour la cause paysanne, correspondant d’Alexandre Blok entre 1907 et 1915, idéologue du néo-populisme dans les années 1910, bolchevik en 1919, Kljuev est devenu, dans les années 1920, une référence pour la génération des jeunes poètes soviétiques (Harms, Vvedenskij, etc.), un conservateur de la culture russe ancienne et un modèle d’anti-comportement, dans le contexte d’un champ littéraire en pleine reconfiguration. Attirant un public très divers, modulant sa personnalité littéraire et sa voix en fonction de son auditoire, Kljuev s’épanouit sur scène comme dans le cadre privé du cercle et du couple. Alors qu’il a trouvé, au cours des années 1910, un matériau esthétique de choix dans le folklore russe, la vieille foi et les chants populaires, c’est le « je » qui demeure au centre de son univers poétique, sous la forme d’un héros lyrique évoluant au sein des cycles. Ceux des années 1917-1932 occupent une place cruciale dans sa trajectoire poétique, dans la mesure où c’est en leur sein que s’élabore le « cosmos de l’Isba », au cœur de l’univers poétique kljuevien. Éminemment charnel et homoérotique, le «je» est aussi désincarné dans un Verbe qui devient le vecteur de l’intentionnalité du texte poétique, au même titre que les masques du poète se font le véhicule de son identité narrative. / Nikolai Klyuev (1884-1937) is one of the most fascinating figures of the Russian «Silver age» and modernism. Forbidden for half a century after the poet’s execution, his work was almost fully recovered only at the end of the 1980’s, and the publication of the late epic poems sparked an intense interest in those poetic testimonies of the violence of collectivization. Born in the Russian North, committed to the peasant revolution, Alexander Blok’s penpal between 1907 and 1915, ideologist of neo-populism in the 1910’s, bolshevik in 1919, Klyuev became in the 1920’s a reference for the young generation of soviet poets (Harms, Vvedenski, etc.), a keeper of Russian folk culture and an example of anti-behavior whithin the frame of a mutating literary field. Attracting a diverse crown and modifying his literary persona as well as his voice regarding his audience, Klyuev thrives on stage as well as within the private circle and couple. Whilst he has found during the 1910’s a valuable aesthetic material in Russian folklore, old belief and popular songs, his poetic universe gravitates around his «self» in an egocentric manner. The utopian formula of the «isba cosmos» is formulated precisely within the lyric cycles of the 1920’s that correspond to the intimate intention of his verse. Carnal and homoerotic, the «lyric hero» is also disembodied in the Word that carries the poetic intention, the same way the mask Klyuev dons in public becomes the vehicle of his narrative identity in perpetual representation

Pier Vittorio Tondelli: Letteratura Minore e Scrittura dell'Impegno SocialeGastaldi, Sciltian 20 March 2014 (has links)
Abstract
This thesis illustrates the social engagement in the literary writings of Pier Vittorio Tondelli, an Italian gay author whose works have been described by many Catholic, Materialists, and gay critics as frivolous and disengaged. The dissertation summarizes the mutation of the Italian literary concept of impegno from Neorealism to Postmodernism, through a selection of the texts of Elio Vittorini, Italo Calvino, Franco Fortini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Leonardo Sciascia, and Umberto Eco. It shows how Tondelli’s interpretation of the role of the writer falls within the definitions given by Calvino and Eco. Moreover, the thesis demonstrates that Altri libertini and Pao Pao satisfy the characteristics of littérature mineure established by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, though Tondelli’s oeuvre is socially engaged instead of being politically engaged because of his lack of a political ideology. The dissertation highlights the core of Tondelli’s social commitment in his passionate defense of the outcasts in: Altri libertini where drug addicts, homosexuals, transsexuals, and bums are the protagonists; Pao Pao where a group of gay soldiers is described in its grotesque and camp attempt to “homosexualize” their barrack; Rimini where the Riviera Adriatica is portrayed as a place where everyone passes by and no one belongs; Camere separate through the love story of a gay couple in which one partner has to survive his lover’s death, due to an illness that is demonstrated in this thesis to be AIDS, while fighting against the homophobia of their families, institutions, society, and religion. Most of Tondelli’s socially excluded characters are introduced to the reader through an internal homodiegetic point of view. Another important component of Tondelli’s impegno is his open defense of both pop-culture and counter-cultures: gay, hippies, rockers, experimental theatre, street artists and alternative radio, which are central in all his writings.
