20.500.12556/RUL-153990 Raziskovanje kvir identitet skozi gotske pošasti v sliki Doriana Graya Oscarja Wilda in Oke of Okehurst Vernon Leeja Exploring Queerness Through Gothic Monsters in Oscar Wilde’s A Picture of Dorian Gray and Vernon Lee’s “Oke of Okehurst” Namen magistrskega dela je raziskati, kako lahko poznoviktorijanske gotske pošasti služijo kot produktivno orodje za raziskovanje moči, ki leži v drugačnosti v strogo strukturirani družbi. Analizirani sta deli “Oke of Okehurst” Verona Leeja in Slika Doriana Graya Oscarja Wildea, v katerih nastopata pošasti, ki izzivata viktorijanski status quo, ki je nastal kot posledica homogenizacije britanske družbe med industrijsko revolucijo. Pošasti so v tem času dobile nov obraz, saj je njihov zunanji videz postal človeški. Dodatni negativni prizvok so pridobile zaradi svojega nasprotovanja novo vzpostavljenim togim razrednim in spolnim vlogam. Ob podpori pojma deviantnosti Michela Foucaulta kot bistvenega dela pošastnosti in zgodovinskega ozadja raziskujem, kaj naredi poznoviktorijansko pošast. Kljub negativni konotaciji pošasti lahko nanje gledamo s sočutnostjo. Drugačen vpogled omogoča queer branje, ki ga podpira pojem nizke teorije Jacka Halberstama, saj omogoča, da je pošast produktivna z imaginacijo drugačne queer realnosti. Lee in Wilde lahko prek pošasti raziskujeta nenormativna vedenja; njune pošasti se tako lahko navdušujejo nad stvarmi, ki jih viktorijanska družba obravnava kot neprimerne, na primer nad obsesivnim predajanjem umetnosti in splošno lahkomiselnostjo. Poleg tega lahko pogledata tudi mimo ustaljenih predstav o zgodovini in poiščeta skupno queer preteklost. Njihovo neupoštevanje heteronormativnih norm postane zmaga, čeprav jih na koncu zgodbe čaka smrt. This thesis aims to explore how late Victorian Gothic monsters may serve as a productive tool for exploring the power of Othernerness in a rigidly structured society. The two works analysed are Vernon Lee’s “Oke of Okehurst” and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, both of which feature monsters that challenge the Victorian status quo, which was a result of the homogenisation of British society during the Industrial Revolution. Monsters gained a new shape during this time, becoming human in their outer appearance and further adopting a negative connotation by going against newly established rigid class and gender roles. Supported by Michel Foucault’s notion of deviance as a quintessential part of monstrosity and historical background, this thesis explores what makes a late Victorian monster. Despite the negative connotation of monsters, they may be looked at through a sympathetical lens. A queer reading, supported by Jack Halberstam’s notion of low theory, provides a different insight, allowing the monster to be productive by imagining a different queer reality. Through monsters, Lee and Wilde can explore non-normative behaviours; their monsters are therefore allowed to revel in things seen as inappropriate by Victorian society, such as an obsessive indulgence in art and general frivolity. Additionally, they are also able to look past the established notions of history and look for a shared queer past. Their failure to comply with heteronormative norms becomes a victory, even though they ultimately meet their demise at the end of their stories. kvir teorija pošasti teorija pošasti gotika gotski roman Viktorijanska doba Vernon Lee Oscar Wilde Oke of Okehurst Slika Doriana Graya queer theory monsters monster theory gothic gothic novel Victorian Vernon Lee Oscar Wilde Oke of Okehurst The Picture of Dorian Gray true false false Slovenski jezik Angleški jezik Magistrsko delo/naloga 2024-01-18 07:45:18 2024-01-18 07:45:28 2024-10-14 11:06:52 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 542348 181752579 37372.pdf 37372.pdf 1 CB6CCC6E8F515F1EA9D9F8F204E93305 36e2a38538ebeb80408bb5ca4de1dbf97d999ee5663dfa577b6ba0f56f2c9696 2a452dba-b5cd-11ee-a699-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=180093 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
