Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Leipzig (Institut für Anglistik), language: English, abstract: Espionage and love appear as two closely related matters throughout the history of the British spy novel. Between the two domains there seems to exist a mutual attraction as well as an incompatibility. The duties of the spy may put an end to his love affairs, or a love affair may cause the failure of an important espionage mission. The secret agent may give in to emotional feelings, regardless of the dangers this entails, or he may prey upon love as the weak point of another, an enemy spy perhaps. And in some cases, like that of The Quiet American, the secret war affecting the fate of a country becomes coincident with the fight for the love of a woman.This paper aims at comparing two British spy novels, Graham Greene's The Quiet American (1955) and a proportion of Somerset Maugham's Ashenden: or The British Agent (1928). By way of taking into consideration the particular historical context at the time of the novels' publication, the comparison focuses on the following points: Firstly, the respective depiction of the spy and his activities, also with regard to legitimacy and morality. Secondly, the respective depiction of the American, and the British view upon him. Finally, the depictions of the exotic Eastern settings - Russia and Vietnam respectively - and of the women personifying them, as well as their romantic relationships towards the male protagonists. In the end, the results of this comparison will serve to illustrate not only certain tendencies in the development of the spy novel genre, but also the sociocultural turn from colonialism to post-colonialism.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, University of Leipzig (Institut für Anglistik), language: English, abstract: In the late Middle Ages, so called 'mystery plays' enjoyed great popularity in English towns and especially in those of the north. Many of these plays were grouped in greater cycles among which the cycle of York, commonly known as the 'York Mystery Plays', is the best preserved, and presumably one of the oldest, largest and most elaborate ones as well. Its forty-seven constituent plays are concerned with Christian belief and sacred history, a circumstance reflected in the collection's authentic title - the Corpus Christi play.It is interesting that the term 'mystery plays', an invention of the 18th century, does not only point to the content of the cycle, as the alternative expression 'miracle plays' does. The term simultaneously addresses those associations of people that were responsible for the cycle's staging: the trade and craft guilds of a town. Based on the archaic meaning of the word, denoting a 'handicraft or trade', it was occasionally referred to these guilds as 'mysteries' as well. In the case of the dramatic cycle of York, each individual play was assigned to one (or in some cases two) of these 'mysteries' or guilds.This paper aims at investigating the role these guilds played in the organisation, the funding and the staging of the cycle. It can be argued that aside from their more obvious economic and social functions, the medieval trade and craft guilds also had a cultural function in the narrow meaning of the term. Further can be argued that the Corpus Christi cycle was not only a cultural and a ritual event, but that it had an important social (and perhaps even an economic) function for the city of York and the communal life of its inhabitants. In fact, it may be this interplay of various domains of life and thought that can explain how the cycle could survive in the form of an annual performance for a period as long as two hundred years, and why it came into being as well as disappeared not randomly but at certain moments in history.Looking upon the play as a civic rather than an ecclesiastical affair, this work thus investigates the cycle's link with the economic history of York and the organisational development of the trade and craft guilds. It will be shown in particular that as a sort of 'producers' the guilds had a range of clearly defined responsibilities and that among these the aspect of funding was the most central.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Leipzig (Institut für Anglistik), language: English, abstract: This paper examines the themes of imprisonment and release in Kazuo Ishiguro's 1989 novel 'The Remains of the Day.' It discusses the relation between the two main narratives as well as the peculiarities of the language of Stevens, the butler at Darlington Hall, who is the protagonist and first person narrator. The author examines in what ways Stevens' demeanour resembles that of a man to whom has been granted release following a life spent in prison. The nature of this prison is investigated as well as whether Stevens is conscious of his imprisonment and if his journey through England provides him an opportunity for escape. The question of Stevens' self-awareness is an important one for this paper and draws upon an essay by Meghan Marie Hammond about Stevens' role as an author.…

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich Theologie - Vergleichende Religionswissenschaft, Note: 1,6, Universität Leipzig (Religionswissenschaftliches Institut), Veranstaltung: Religionsgeschichte Mitteleuropas in der Frühen Neuzeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit den Hexenverfolgungen im 18. Jahrhundert mit Fokus auf den Hexenprozess 'Annaberger Krankheit' und die Rolle, die die Kirche innerhalb des Prozesses spielte.Bei der sogenannten 'Annaberger Krankheit' handelt es sich um einen der spektakulärsten Hexenprozesse im von Hexenverfolgungen ansonsten nur wenig betroffenen Kursachsen. Die Geschehnisse im erzgebirgischen Annaberg erreichten ihren Höhepunkt zwischen 1713 und 1714 und setzten sich mit Nachwehen noch bis 1720 fort, und obgleich es im Falle der Annaberger Hexenprozesse zu keinen Verurteilungen wegen Hexerei (und damit auch nicht zu Hinrichtungen oder anderen drakonischen Bestrafungen) kommen sollte, so ist der Fall als einer der umfangreichsten (und als der womöglich letzte) des Kurfürstentums Sachsen von besonderem religionswissenschaftlichem Interesse.In Hinblick auf das sich im Prozessverlauf offenbarende Zusammenspiel kirchlicher und weltlicher Institutionen und konkurrierender akademischer Disziplinen stellen sich vor allem folgende Fragen: Welche Rolle spielt religiöses (christliches) Gedankengut bzw. spielen die Vertreter religiöser Institutionen bei der Verbreitung der Deutung der Geschehnisse als Hexerei Welche Position(en) nimmt die Kirche als Antwort auf diese Hexerei-Vorwürfe in Annaberg ein Und davon ausgehend: Wie groß ist die Bedeutung bzw. wie stark der Einfluss dieser kirchlichen Position für den Fortgang des Prozesses Welche anderen sozialen Systeme, neben dem der Religion, beanspruchen die Deutung der Hexenthematik in welchem Maße für sich.…
