Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Bonn (Anglistik), course: Issues in Literature & Culture: Gothic fiction, language: English, abstract: For decades stories and sagas have told us to be aware of the vampire. Bram Stokers 'Dracula' has never stopped being printed since it was published in 1897 and has become the figurehead for vampirism. The vampire has always been an object of terror and at the same time he has fascinated us. Indeed, vampirism is very often associated with sexuality, especially with repressed sexuality. Williamson points out that Dracula is written in the Victorian age which is 'considered to be one of sexual repression and the vampire represents the return of the (masculine) repressed'. Craft even speaks of 'sexual energy' which is closely connected to vampirism. Nevertheless, there are other opinions about that period. Elaine Showalter argues that Dracula was also written in a time of 'sexual anarchy' (cf Showalter 3) and that this was a decade of alternative definitions of being male or female and also a time where the 'New Woman' was invented.That Stoker's' Dracula' has often been interpreted and analyzed for its sexual contents is due to the 'powerful sexual charge' which Murray claims runs throughout the novel (cf Murray 200f; Kline 5f). There is no agreement 'as to what kind of sexuality is present in the novel', but Spencer points out that among them there is no doubt that 'a given sexuality [.] is repressed and displaced throughout the text' (cf Spencer 197). Of course, sexuality is not explicitly described and rather masked, therefore the interpretations of these symbols are different. This paper seeks to analyze the depiction of sexual women in the novel on the basis of particular plots.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, University of Bonn (Anglistik), course: Native American/First Nations Literature and Culture, language: English, abstract: The following paper will deal with the relationship between text and illustrations in Sherman Alexie's novel 'The Absolutely True Story of a Part-Time Indian.'Sherman Alexie is a Native American, which he prefers to call Indians, and grew up on the Spokane Reservation, which is also the setting in the novel. His novel partially tells his own story which means it is semi-autobiographical. One of the main topics of his novels, and also very present in this novel, is alcoholism, probably because his father had an alcohol problem as well. It is important to mention that Alexie's novel is not a comic in the first place, because it mainly shows single illustrations which contribute to the text's meaning. It is therefore a graphic novel meaning that it is a narrative with occasional pictures with a dominance of verbal elements.However, there are still five actual comics in the book. Not only writing novels but also poems and short stories his novels present the 'nobly suffering Indian' (Campbell) but also the 'hard reality of urban life' (Campbell) by also telling the hard naked truth about being Indian.Comics have been out there for several decades, but they have not always enjoyed a broad audience. The genre of comics is often readily dismissed as being for children, young male adolescents and even for sub-literates. This marginalized genre is more than that; it offers topics and themes for everyone, varying from fiction to politics, fantasy, erotica, essays, autobiography and many more. As Douglas Wolk puts it: 'comics have grown up'. As comics went through a long development of experiencing setbacks and success at the same time, today we have shops exclusively for cartoons, comics or illustrations.As modern literature and culture changed into being more visual and less written the genre of comics and illustrations has become more attractive and popular. Moreover since the Marvel and DC comics and especially their remakes as movies such as Spiderman, Thor, Ironman, Captain America, Avengers, Watchmen, Sin City and many more the genre became more accessible for people who have not had a huge interest in comics beforehand. Although comics are drawn and represent a picture 'we read comics. [.] holding them in our hands, turning their pages' (Wolk). When in the 1970s the main topics were 'simplistic superhero fantasies or violence' (Bongco) the genre today is also dealing with serious topics.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, University of Bonn (Anglistik), course: Variational Pragmatics, language: English, abstract: So far little work has been done to investigate impoliteness, but a lot has been done on politeness. Can politeness even work without a complete overview of impoliteness in the same amount Not only has there been rarely any research on how impoliteness works and when it occurs, but also the research of how people cope with impoliteness has been vastly neglected.Especially when it comes to insults people tend to pretend that they never insult anybody or even swear. Only would they insult somebody if they were insulted. Too many theories consider (im)politeness a single-turn-thing, but it gets even more interesting when it occurs in interaction. In insult situations there will always be the insulter who realizes the first insult and the insultee who receives the insult. The insultee sometimes will become an insulter as well.Why do insultees feel the urge to retaliate the insult being paid on them Gouldner puts forward the idea of a reciprocity social norm, meaning that behavior, prosocial or anitsocial should be equally matched. Does this retaliation differ across gender Are males or females more likely to counter with aggressive strategies Who uses which strategy most and especially which taboo words are used in combination with insults To investigate this field a discourse completion task has been conducted to elicit counterstrategies to insults. The informants were high school students aged between 15-19, both male and female, from a small town called Rosebud-Lott in the South-East of Texas. To understand responses to insults, the next chapter will introduce the general idea of impoliteness and shows how impoliteness, face and insults belong together. Furthermore previous studies to impoliteness and first attempts to come up with impoliteness-strategies are explained.The third chapter will give detailed information on the methodology. Why using a DCT was useful, who were the informants, how the data was collected and what the drawback of a DCT is. In the end the coding scheme will be listed and explained to understand the next chapters where the data is being analyzed. In chapter four the most interesting results will be presented and further down the line in chapter five we will discuss contradicting and striking results focusing on female and male differences which will be compared to previous studies. Chapter six will summarize the question posed, the findings, limitations of study and then give an outlook for further research.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Bonn (Anglistik), language: English, abstract: The following thesis aims at analysing Bilbo's quest for identity and maturation in J.R.R. Tolkiens 'The Hobbit'.It has been said that 'The Hobbit' not only offers a fantasy world but also deals with the human psyche. First of all, the theoretical and more general part will be explaining the hero's journey, the Monomyth of Campbell, its quest-plot, establishing the basis for the later analysis of Bilbo's character. In the third chapter Bilbo's quest will be examined, investigating his character as it is intermingled between the Baggins and Tookish part of his family. It will be displayed how his two natures are at first rather opposing each other and how Bilbo develops so that they complement each other.Furthermore, the most important stages of his development are presented: the trolls, Gollum, the spiders in Mirkwood and finally Smaug. It will be shown how the first three stages are crucial turning points and prepare Bilbo for his final ordeal Smaug and how they shaped his character for the rest of the journey and the rest of his life. Furthermore, the causes of Bilbo's development will be investigated focusing on what made him do the things he did and what makes him let go of his immature way of life.In addition, the thesis will focus on the 'back' of the story, Bilbo's homecoming, examining how Bilbo changed throughout his journey, what he learnt, what he achieved, and how he is coming to peace as a better and mature hobbit. In the end, all thoughts and ideas will be summed up and it will be critically looked back at what the thesis dealt with.The hero's journey is not an unfamiliar theme of investigation in literature and always enjoyed a vast popularity. Campbell's Monomyth is the major concept of this paper to explain how the hero's character is shaped throughout his journey. Tolkien, as well as many before him, was influenced by Campbell's idea. Campbell's theory did not only influence literature but also film and comic, such as Star Wars and The Ultimate Spider-Man.Genuinely, the idea of myths is to convey moral values and provide moral instruction. The idea of the Monomyth cannot only be applied to a literary hero but also to any other human being. The quest of Bilbo Baggins will serve as an example of the hero's journey in which many features of the Monomyth can be found. Moreover, the idea of the journey is made clear through Bilbo's quest as he not only has to take physical hurdles but also psychological ones.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Communications - Multimedia, Internet, New Technologies, grade: 2,0, University of Bonn (Anglistik), course: Digital Cultures, language: English, abstract: It will probably shock you that the original version of 'Gangnam Style' by the Korean singer PSY (standing for psycho) is the most watched video on YouTube of all time counting over 800 million views since it has been uploaded in 2010. What it features is a song that will stick to your head, and dance moves everyone will try to imitate - it had what it took to go 'viral', to spread around the world like a sickness. This phenomena is not bound to one specific video genre, in this case a music video, but can be found in other genres as well, for example in comics, animal or amateur videos. Everyone can become famous on the internet by the day after tomorrow if his or her video got what it takes to become viral. But what does it take A lot of viral videos do not feature informative content that helps us in any way or is important for our lives, nor does the content make any sense at all sometimes. It even appears that the videos with no content are even more popular.Although there are many viral videos of very different genres, they all share to some degree certain qualities, however can their success in the digital Internet age not be boiled down to a simple set of rules, neither can it be predicted, because these qualities are only features that can help as it has also a lot to do with luck and timing.By looking at the videos 'Charlie bit my finger - again!', 'The Sneezing Baby Panda' and 'Dramatic Chipmunk', 'David After Dentist' we will see that although they are very different and feature different content they have qualities that are similar and that some have qualities that the others will not have, demonstrating that there are no general or universal rules one can use and then have viral success.
