Minnets bleka längtan / The pale longing of the memoryLissman, Yvette January 2022 (has links)
Minnets bleka längtan är tänkt som en första bok i en serie om två, eventuellt tre böcker. Frank blir av med sitt hundspann under en snöstorm och tar skydd i en övergiven stuga. Där hittar han en väldigt nedkyld och medtagen kvinna som sitter fast med en handboja vid en fastgjuten stålstång.Han räddar till sist hennes liv genom att kapa av hennes ena hand. Frank brottas sedan med att få både sig själv och kvinnan att överleva, med de moraliska betänkligheterna som följer när han utvecklar känslor för kvinnan och även skuldkänslorna från handkapningen. Det är en kamp att få den medvetslösa okända kvinnan att klara av infektionen och nedkylningen, men till sist vaknar hon upp, dock utan minne av vad som har hänt henne eller vad hon heter. Kvinnan vet inte hur hon ska känna. Fast hon får starka känslor för Frank, så är hon inte säker på om han egentligen är personen som lämnat henne att dö där ute, eller om han verkligen är hennes räddare. Dessutom stryker det vilda djur runt stugan som spär på hennes rädsla. Är Frank verkligen den han säger? Vem har lämnat Mariam att dö i ödemarken? Kommer den eller de komma tillbaka och vad händer i så fall? Är det möjligt för dem att rädda sig själva? Hur ska de fortsätta tillsammans i så fall? Kommer Mariam någonsin återfå minnet och vad kommer då att hända?

“I’m not crazy”: the history and development of the American gaslight filmAlston, Dana William 11 August 2021 (has links)
This thesis examines portrayals of gaslighting toward women in American film. Gaslighting, a form of psychological manipulation that frequently targets women, has a long history in cinema, and narratives that foreground the practice have developed a series of narrative and stylistic conventions. These conventions frequently simplify the realities of psychological abuse toward women, representing gaslighting and its perpetrators with ideologically patriarchal undertones. Such undertones have changed over time, often in ways that reflect cultural and political shifts within American society. Gaslight films’ female protagonists have demonstrated more agency, while the perpetrators have grown steadily more monstrous as the subgenre shifted from a melodramatic to horrific mode. Using a genre studies approach to survey these constantly evolving tropes across three eras, I argue that the gaslight film is a subgenre that reflects growing attitudes toward and awareness of gender roles and psychological abuse towards women. Concerns involving representations of female agency and the ability of genres to concisely communicate hegemonic, patriarchal ideologies lie beneath this analysis.

The Third Island: A NovellaMora, Iris 01 January 2015 (has links)
The Third Island is a novella about a Puerto Rican woman of Spanish descent who faces her biggest fear—death. Death comes in many forms and for Laura Maria De La Esperanza Castel, it comes in the form of a man with whom she thinks she is in love. Vacationing on an island in the Bahamas, novelist Laura Castel finds that the only way to survive is to overcome her fear and reject being controlled by the figure who is trying to take her. She overcomes many obstacles and is taught about self-sufficiency, the history of repression of minorities groups or of the misunderstood, and the importance of protecting those who are not able to protect themselves.

It covers all the important elements of a film and screenplay: conflict, arc, goal, structure and plot. The thesis also consists of feminists’ reactions to Fatal Attraction, and examines whether the original 60- page screenplay helps or worsens the image of women. The screenplay also raises the question if having the villains need to be insane to prove a point. Further in the thesis is a description of the original screenplay Crimes of Passion and its main characters Jennifer, Alex and Keith.
