The torch collectorKucharova, Sue, University of Western Sydney, School of Communication and Media January 1999 (has links)
The Torch Collector is a Magical Realist novel set in Sydney. It is a story of non conformity, history, hope. The story moves between three recognisable but not clearly identifiable spheres. A past, a present and the non identified other, which could be called the unreal, magical, other-worldly or third-dimensional The genderless protagonist collects torches which enable him/her to transgress the boundaries between the spheres of existence. S/he moves freely across filling the gaps in her/his identity created by her/his cross-cultural background. The novel examines life on the fringe of contemporary Australian society. The Torch Collector's position appears to be voluntary, defined by his/her relationship to the torches. This vital relationship prevents the protagonist from fully engaging in conventional life. It is also a story of Sydney. A city which hides its cross-cultural spirituality underneath a highly urban and technological facade. / Master of Arts (Writing)

Julien Gracq et le réalisme magiqueGiguère, Marielle. January 2007 (has links)
This thesis consists in a comparison between the novels of Julien Gracq and the magical realism. More precisely, our research's main concern is about the forms of strangeness developed throughout the works of the author. We wish to demonstrate how elements of the texts---space, time, metafiction and intertextuality---generate the appropriate atmosphere for the emergence of magic. We think that, whether or not the representation includes magic, it maintains itself on the edge of the fantastic, partly because the images constantly suggest its imminence. Our intention is thus to prove that the feeling of strangeness that emerges from Gracq's fiction is a latent or embryonic form of magical realism.

The lure of disillusion : toward a reappraisal of realism in religious understandingShields, James Mark. January 1997 (has links)
This Master's thesis examines the status of myth and symbol in postmodern religious discourse, and proposes a new way of understanding representation in religion. The first chapter deals with the sense of symbol as it emerged out of literary and philosophical romanticism, and explores several divergent interpretations of the meaning of the symbol according to modernist and structuralist criticism. The second chapter, after analysing the function of myth and history in religious understanding, connects the romantic symbol to a contemporary hermeneutics based on the aesthetic and epistemological tenets of magic realism. It is my contention in this thesis that magic realism, in its conflation (and deconstruction) of the ideologically charged dichotomy of myth and reality, provides a hermeneutical tool with which to critique demythologization; and that, in its dual aspect as heir to both romanticism and realism, magic realism may be a more fertile source than either neo-romanticism or post-structuralism for a truly postmodern religious criticism.
