Drink of Me, and You Shall Have Eternal Life: An Analysis of Lord Byron's "The Giaour" and the Greek Folkloric VampireJanuary 2010 (has links)
abstract: This paper contains an examination of the impact of the Vampire Hysteria in Europe during the 1700’s on Lord Byron's “The Giaour.” Byron traveled to the continent in 1809 and wrote the poems that came to be known as his Oriental Romances after overhearing what would become “The Giaour ” in “ one of the many coffee-houses that abound in the Levant.” The main character, the Giaour, has characteristics typical of the Greek vampire, called vrykolakas. The vamping of characters, the cyclic imagery, and the juxtaposition of life and death as it is expressed within the poem are analyzed in comparison to vampiric folklore, especially that of Greece. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. English 2010

Faire croire aux vampires, des écrits (XVIIIe-XIXe siècles) aux images cinématographiques (XXe-XXIe siècles) / To make believe vampires, from writings (eighteenth to nineteenth centuries) to film images (twentieth to twentieth-first century)Louis, Stella 29 March 2018 (has links)
Le vampirisme est une parole et un discours qui circulent : il est une écriture qui contamine et qui se transmet de texte en texte, d’histoire en histoire, d’image en image. Le vampire est une forme vide, un cadavre ouvert et disséqué à la grande époque du vampirisme (le XVIIIe siècle), et que l’imagination, collective ou individuelle, a rempli de fiction(s) dans la perspective et/ ou selon le désir de « faire croire » au(x) vampire(s), même quand il s’agit de remettre en cause leur existence. Des images se réunissent pour faire le vampire et le réaliser, et circulent selon le principe « vampirique » de la contamination. Une forme vampirique au sens d’une écriture formelle se répète des écrits du XVIIIe et du XIXe siècle jusqu’aux dernières images cinématographiques, et toujours selon le même principe qui consiste à interroger la croyance d’un destinataire-récepteur : un lecteur ou un spectateur. L’objet de cette thèse est principalement de mettre en évidence et d’étudier l’identité de la croyance aux vampires du XVIIIe siècle et la croyance du spectateur devant un film de vampires. Son objet est d’étudier la genèse et les variations littéraires, cinématographiques, d’une écriture formelle de la croyance aux vampires, dans le vampire et le vampirisme, dans un corpus de textes officiels, critiques, littéraires et cinématographiques. Tous ces documents proposent un récit qui construit des formes narratives et discursives qui font croire et douter, à des fins notamment esthétiques, de plaisir, d’horreur, de peur, de fascination. C’est cette histoire que la thèse propose d’explorer. / Vampirism is a word and a speech circulating: it is a writing that contaminates and that is transmitted from text to text, from history to history, from image to image. The vampire is an empty form, an open and dissected corpse in the great era of vampirism (the eighteenth century), and that imagination, collective or individual, has filled with fiction(s) in perspective and / or desire to “make believe” the vampires, even when it is to questioning their existence.Images come together to make the vampire and realize it, and circulate according to the “vampiric” principle of contamination. A vampiric form in the sense of a formal writing is repeated from the eighteenth and nineteenth century to the last cinematographic images, and still according to the same principle which consists in questioning the belief of a receiver: a reader or a spectator.The purpose of this thesis is mainly to highlight and study the identity of belief in eighteenth-century vampires with the viewer’s belief in front of a vampire movie. Its purpose is to study the genesis and the literary and cinematographic variations of a formal writing of the belief in vampires and vampirism, in a body of official, critical, literary and cinematographic texts. All these documents offer a narrative that constructs discursive forms that make people believe and doubt, especially for aesthetic purposes, pleasure, horror, fear, fascination. This is the story that the thesis proposes to explore.

The Body of condemned in Anne Rices The Vampire chronicles: Interview with the Vampire / The Body of condemned in Anne Rices The Vampire chronicles: Interview with the VampireLilian Maria Araujo da Silva 16 January 2009 (has links)
Esta dissertação trata do gótico literário, especialmente nas literaturas de língua inglesa. O tema principal gira em torno da figura do vampiro. A escolha do tema é resultado de minhas leituras sobre a primeira aparição do vampiro na prosa literária, figura oriunda das lendas na Europa oriental e central. Partindo do século XVIII, chego até a contemporaneidade, em solo norte-americano, onde se passa a narrativa de Entrevista com o Vampiro, romance este que será o foco principal de meus estudos sobre o gótico e o vampiro na literatura. Composta de três capítulos, esta dissertação trata das origens da lenda do vampiro e o seu ingresso na literatura, da questão do corpo humano e do corpo híbrido do vampiro. Por último, analiso o romance que impulsionou minha pesquisa, em diálogo com os capítulos anteriores / This dissertation is about the literary gothic, especially in literatures in English language. The main theme focuses on the figure of the vampire. Such a choice is the result of my readings of the first appearance of the vampire in prose fiction. The vampire arose in the legends from Eastern and Central Europe. Starting from the 18th century, I come to the present, in North-American soil, where the narrative of Interview with the Vampire takes place. This novel will be the center of this dissertation on the literary gothic and the vampire. Composed of three chapters, this work deals with the origins of the legend of the vampire and its insertion in literature; with the human body and the hybrid body of the vampire. Lastly, I analyse the novel that is in the center of my research, in a dialogue with the previous chapters

O Vampiro Camaleônico: uma análise de Drácula em suas múltiplas encarnações na Literatura e Cinema / Chameleonic Vampire: An analyzes of Dracula in its multiples encarnations in Literature and CinemaYuri Garcia Piedade Kurylo 27 February 2014 (has links)
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar a imagem de Drácula ao longo de seus mais 100 anos de existência em nossa cultura, sobretudo em suas representações nos meios literários e audiovisuais. Buscamos traçar as transformações do personagem e de sua história ao longo de um grande percurso de incursões cinematográficas. Para isso iniciaremos um debate sobre a imagem do vampiro, sua origem e suas diversas evoluções desenvolvendo o que chamamos aqui de Mitologia Vampírica, aproveitando para apresentar o estudo das materialidades como um complemento metodológico às clássicas análises já existentes. Em seguida, traremos o vampiro para a literatura, destacando o livro de Stoker como o mais importante vampiro da história. Drácula, embora seja um produto literário, alcança seu ápice no meio audiovisual como um dos personagens mais representados e uma das histórias mais adaptadas como veremos através de uma pequena arqueologia de suas aparições no cinema. Para finalizar nosso estudo, nos aprofundaremos na análise de 5 filmes, que julgamos ser os mais pertinentes dentro de todas as transposições fílmicas até então feitas sobre o livro de Bram Stoker / This research aims to analyze the image of Dracula throughout its more than 100 years of existence in our culture, especially in its representations in literary and audiovisual media. We seek to trace the transformations of the character and his story along a major route of cinematographic incursions. For this we shall initiate a debate on the image of the vampire, its origin and its various evolutions developing what we call here Vampiric mythology, taking the opportunity to present the study of materiality as a methodological complement to the classical analyzes already existent. Then we will bring the vampire to literature, highlighting Stokers book as the most important vampire in history. Dracula, though a literary product, reaches its climax in the audiovisual medium as one of the most represented characters and one of the most adapted stories as we shall see through a small archeology of its appearances in the movies. To conclude our study, we shall deepen in the analysis of 5 films, which we believe to be most relevant in all the filmic transpositions hitherto made about Bram Stokers novel

The all-seeing mirror: reflecting on vampires as allegories in socio-culturally sensitive literary works / The all-seeing mirror: reflecting on vampires as allegories in socio-culturally sensitive literary worksThiago Silva Sardenberg 19 December 2012 (has links)
Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a figura do vampiro na literatura como poderosa ferramenta de leitura e interpretação dos medos e angústias que afligem um determinado espaço sociocultural. Ao olhar para a evolução do vampiro literário através dos séculos dezenove, vinte e vinte e um, notamos que cada uma de suas encarnações difere dramaticamente da anterior, e no que o vampiro é reinventado, ele engaja-se num diálogo pertinente e coerente com questões de seu próprio tempo, nunca perdendo assim sua relevância. Sua existência heterogênea, explicitada na dissertação primariamente através das obras Carmilla, de Sheridan LeFanu, Dracula, de Bram Stoker, Eu Sou a Lenda, de Richard Matheson, Entrevista com o Vampiro, de Anne Rice e Fledgling, de Octavia Butler, e as diferentes questões suscitadas em cada uma dessas obras como a sexualidade, a alteridade e o hibridismo nos levarão ao entendimento de que o vampiro pode potencialmente desempenhar importante função alegórica, tornando-se um espelho da própria humanidade através da qual se sustenta / The present work aims at looking at the figure of the vampire in literature as powerful means of reading and interpreting the fears and anxieties of a specific socio-cultural space. By looking at the evolution of the literary vampire through the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries, we are able to notice that each of its incarnations dramatically differs from the previous one, and as vampires are reinvented, they engage in a coherent dialog with issues pertaining to their times, in a way that they never lose their relevance. Their heterogeneous existence, explicited in the dissertation primarily through Sheridan LeFanus Carmilla, Bram Stokers Dracula, Richard Mathesons I am Legend, Anne Rices Interview with the Vampire and Octavia Butlers Fledgling, and the different theoretical questions brought on by each of them such as sexuality, alterity and hybridity will lead us to the understanding that the vampire may potentially function as a powerful allegory as it becomes a mirror of the very humanity on which its life depends
