21	Reciprocal Haunting : Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy Knutsen, Karen Patrick January 2008 (has links) Pat Barker’s fictional account of the Great War, The Regeneration Trilogy, completed in 1995, is considered to be her most important work to date and has captured the imagination of the reading public as well as attracting considerable scholarly attention. Although the trilogy appears to be written in the realistic style of the traditional historical novel, Barker approaches the past with certain preoccupations from 1990s Britain and rewrites the past as seen through these contemporary lenses. Consequently, the trilogy illustrates not only how the past returns to haunt the present, but also how the present reciprocally haunts perceptions of the past. The haunting quality of the trilogy is developed through an extensive, intricate pattern of intertextuality. This reciprocal haunting at times breaks the realistic framework of the narrative, giving rise to anachronisms. This study offers a reading of trauma, class, gender and psychology as thematic areas where intertexts are activated, allowing Barker to revise and re-accentuate stories of the past. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s concept of discourse and Mikhail Bakhtin’s notion of dialogue, it focuses on the trilogy as an interactive link in an intertextual chain of communication about the Great War. Received versions of history are confirmed, expanded on and sometimes questioned. What is innovative about the trilogy is how Barker incorporates discursive formations not only from the Great War period, but from the whole twentieth century. The Great War is regenerated and transformed as it passes from one dialogic context to another. My reading shows that the trilogy presents social structures from different historical epochs through dialogism and diachronicity, making the present-day matrices of power and knowledge that continue to surround, determine and limit people’s lives highly visible. The Regeneration Trilogy regenerates the past, simultaneously confirming Barker’s claim that the historical novel can also be “a backdoor into the present”.

22	Dagermans arbetande män : En marxistisk och maskulinitetsteoretisk analys av Stig Dagermans Streber / Dagerman's Working Men : A Marxist and Masculinity Theoretical Analysis of Streber by Stig Dagerman Nilsson, Emilia January 2021 (has links) Uppsatsen undersöker hur marxistiska och maskulinitetsteoretiska maktstrukturer påverkar relationerna mellan de fyra huvudkaraktärerna i Stig Dagermans dramatext Streber. Karaktärerna analyseras utifrån texten i Judasdramer från 1949. Analysen utgår ifrån repliker, karaktärsbeskrivningar och scenanvisningar. I uppsatsen analyseras hierarkiska positioner utifrån den marxistiska teorin med fokus på klasstillhörighet och socioekonomiska förutsättningar, följt av maskulinitetsteorin med fokus på maskulinitetstyper samt maskulinitetsnormer. De bägge analysperspektivens resultat sammanförs i ett intersektionellt perspektiv och används för att placera in karaktärerna i schematiska modeller. Dramat har inför analysen delats in i tre delar vilket innebär att man genom analysen följer karaktärernas utveckling genom tre olika schematiska modeller. De schematiska modellerna och analyserade exemplen visar slutligen hur olika ekonomiska, sociala och könsrelaterade maktfaktorer påverkar relationerna mellan dramats huvudkaraktärer samt deras relationer till övriga av dramats karaktärer.

23	俄國「新女性」型塑之文化過程: 1861~1936 許瑞娟 Unknown Date (has links) 本論文以1861年至1936年間的俄國「新女性」特質變化為主題，從雷蒙威廉斯文化霸權理論之角度，探討主流「新女性」特質的改變過程。十九世紀中葉，俄國沙皇受西歐影響，推動工業化與現代化政策，企圖將落後的傳統農業社會轉型成現代化工業都市。一八六一年亞歷山大二世解放農奴，農民進城求職，俄國步入都市化階段。都市化使俄國政治、經濟、文化、思想與社會結構產生劇變，其中以鄉村與城市人口結構改變對社會影響最大。男人從傳統農夫變成城市工人，農村勞力的空缺只能由婦女遞補。女性為維持生計與照顧家庭，漸漸從家庭附屬地位變成主導地位，甚至出現大量走出家庭工作的工廠女工。從這段時期至一九三○年間，整個俄國社會以女性角色變化最為顯著。教育普及使得平民知識份子數量漸增，向西方學習的社會風氣與心理驅使許多俄國男女出國留學。女性教育水平提高，範圍也從貴族階層深入至中產階級之女性。西化的知識份子將西歐社會男女平權的思想引進傳統的俄國封建社會，男尊女卑的社會觀念與傳統性別特質受到質疑。在這些西化知識份子的鼓吹下，女性開始滲入過去由男性主導的公共領域。她們致力將兩性平等意識帶入俄國，欲改變男權主導社會下女性之悲慘命運。儘管遭遇許多挫折，「女性問題」成功引起社會大眾注意，而這些不同以往的俄國女性便被稱為「新女性」(Новая женщина)。一八六○～七○年代除了國家與社會問題，婦女解放、女性主義與激進改革思潮同樣為社會爭論的焦點。「新女性」特質不僅象徵女性運動發展，它代表一種意識型態。生理性別(sex)或許只牽涉到男人與女人在生理上之差異，但性別認同(gender)卻與社會、文化有極大的關係。男性與女性在不同的社會期待下產生不同的思維方式，「人們傾向於相信他們已瞭解到，一個人是男是女，並不是因為透過生理上的檢查而決定這個人是生物意義上的男性或女性。相反地，我們往往會去注意一個人是否具有男性氣概或女性特質。在我們的社會中，性別是個人的一項社會性特質，此特質只在某些時候才會與生物性別相互一致。」所以，一般認為的女性氣質乃是社會建構出來的結果，而非女性天生如此。男性依照自己的期望塑造女性特質，藉由社會化過程讓女性在無形中受到箝制。也就是說，性別意識型態透過社會傳播與灌輸，進入女性的意識中，此一過程即為「型塑」(fashioning)。十九世紀男性作家筆下的新女性、女性自我期許的新女性及蘇聯共產社會的蘇聯新女性，這三種不同的認知代表不同的意識型態，同時發揮不同的文化作用。英國文化研究學著雷蒙‧威廉斯乃是將西方馬克思主義者葛蘭西(Antonio Gramsci, 1891-1937)提出的霸權(hegemony)概念應用至一般文化現象之人。他認為所有文化建構過程都是經由殘留、主流與新興三股力量交會演變而成。這三股力量各自產生不同的意識型態與文化，三種文化的相互影響將決定統治階級是否能穩固其政權。西方馬克思主義乃是延伸馬克思主義的階級概念而發展出的文化理論，但統治與被統治關係並非僅存於資本階級社會，號稱摧毀階級制度的蘇維埃無產階級社會同樣存在統治與被統治關係。一八六一年到一九三六年正值俄國新舊政權交替之時，社會混亂且人民思想自由，殘留、主流與新興文化之互動尤其明顯。本論文透過「新女性」特質轉變呈現俄國文化發展與蘇維埃文化霸權建立之過程。俄國新女性文化霸權雷蒙威廉斯女性主義社會心理學型塑殘餘文化主流文化新興文化 Russian New Women Hegemony Raymond Williams

The Theory of the Literary field and Cultural Materialism as Models of Meditation Šebek, Josef January 2016 (has links) Between Text and Context: The Theory of the Literary Field and Cultural Materialism as Models of Mediation Josef Šebek, Mgr. Abstract In his dissertation Between Text and Context: The Theory of the Literary Field and Cultural Materialism as Models of Mediation the author deals with the problem of mediation between literary text and its social context. He focuses on two important contemporary context- oriented approaches to literature: the theory of literary field, developed by Pierre Bourdieu, and cultural materialism, first formulated by Raymond Williams and further elaborated by Alan Sinfield and Jonathan Dollimore. He interprets these two theories as basic, mutually complementary models of mediation: the theory of literary field presupposes the existence of a (semi-)autonomous literary micro-world, whereas cultural materialism stresses the full integration of the literary text into the social context, the "social material process" (Williams). After an introduction outlining the problem, the author concentrates on Bourdieu's theory of the literary field, his "new science of works," and on contemporary post-Bourdieusian approaches (those of Alain Viala, Anna Boschetti, Jacques Dubois, Gisèle Sapiro, Pascale Casanova, Bernard Lahire, Jérôme Meizoz, Geoffroy de Lagasnerie) which employ, develop, and modify...
25	Patterns Perceptible: Awakening to Community Barclay, Vaughn 17 May 2012 (has links) This paper interweaves narrativized readings and experiential narratives as personal and cultural resources for counterhegemonic cultural critique within our historical context of globalization and ecological crisis. Framed by perspectives on epistemology, everyday life, and place, these reflections seek to engage and revitalize our notions of community, creativity, and the individual, towards visioning the human art of community as a counternarrative to globalization. Such a task involves confronting the meanings we have come to ascribe to work and economy which so deeply determine our social fabric. Encountering the thought of key 19th and 20th century social theorists ranging from William Morris, Gregory Bateson, and Raymond Williams, to Murray Bookchin, Martin Buber, and Wendell Berry, these reflections mark the indivisible web of culture in the face of our insistent divisions, and further, iterate our innate creativity as the source for a vital, sustainable culture that might reflect, in Bateson’s terms, the pattern that connects. the pattern that connects
