Beyond imagination : the moral versus the aesthetic : philosophical and literary influences in John Banville's Frames trilogy

Monsen, Maria Kristine (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 26-Nov-2007)

[+]

Abstract:

The main focus for my thesis will be on John Banville’s Frames trilogy (2001) and the author's rendering of the limitations and possibilities of the aesthetic individual. In order to show how the tension between the aesthetic and the moral existence is illustrated by Banville’s protagonists, I have also included in my analysis certain literary and philosophical influences that I have found relevant. In chapter one I am going through central points in Søren Kierkegaard's and Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophies. I have put the emphasis on Kierkegaard's Either/Or (1843) in order to apply his discussion of his three stages of existence, the aesthetic, ethical and religious, to my analysis of Banville's trilogy. In this section I am attempting to illustrate the traits belonging to the aesthetic individual, as depicted in the character Johannes, and try to show that Kierkegaard's term of the aesthetic individual is transferable to Banville's protagonists in the trilogy. In order to show the Nietzschean element so prominent in Banville's protagonists, especially in Freddie Montgomery, I am referring to Nietzsche's early book, The Birth of Tragedy through the Spirit of Music (1872). It is my aim to show how Nietzsche's essential world-view of the lack of purpose of existence, lies at the bottom of the postmodern consciousness of Banville's characters. I am also looking at Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals (1887) in showing how Nietzsche's view on guilt and conscience as invalid concepts converge with the protagonists' in Frames. The last part of the chapter consists of a comparison between the converging concepts of the two philosophies, my point of departure being Tom P. S. Angier's recent book Either Kierkegaard /Or Nietzsche (2006), and an initial analysis of Frames based in these ideas. In chapter two, in order to illustrate my points further, I am analysing parts of Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita (1957) and Fjodor Dostojevskij's Crime and Punishment (1866) to show how different aspects by these two classic novels can be compared to plot and characters in Frames. The emphasis here will be on the complexity of the protagonist in each of the novels, that resembles the mentality and character traits of the protagonist in Frames. Chapter three contains the sustained analysis of the trilogy. The first part explores how Banville's protagonists' relate differently to their female other, while the second part of the analysis is concerned with the protagonist's quest for essence in a world where he finds no purpose.

Chronikalische Strukturen zwischen Archiv und Kritik : Gottfried Arnolds Unparteiische Kirchen- und Ketzerhistorie

Andersen, Marit (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 15-Nov-2007)

[+]

Abstract:

Die Arbeit ist eine Zusammenfassung von den Verfolgungen der Ketzer von den ersten Jahrhunderten bis an das 17. Jahrhundert. Die Untersuchung dieser Verfolgungen zeigt, dass die katholische Kirche und vorher die Heiden und Juden immer die Ketzer verfolgten, aufgrund, dass die Ketzer von den Leuten beliebt waren, und deshalb die Macht und die Positionen der Geistlichkeit und der Obrigkeit drohten. Die Geschichte dieser Ketzer findet man in Gottfried Arnolds Kirchen- und Ketzerhistorie, die eine besondere Kirchengeschichte ist. Sie lässt die Ketzer in den Vordergrund treten, während die Geistlichkeit der offiziellen Kirche als Ketzermacher dargestellt werden. Die Kirchen- und Ketzerhistorie, die auch die KKH genannt wird, ist von einem sehr gelehrten Mann geschrieben, der seine eigene Quellen gesammelt hatte, und von niemand widersprochen werden konnte. Sie ist als eine Verfallsgeschichte der ursprünglichen christlichen Gemeinde geschrieben, die besonders nach der Zeit Konstantins immer mehr verweltlicht wurde. Arnold schob unkritisch jahrhundertealte Lehrmeinungen beiseite und revolutionierte die damalige gesamte kirchengeschichtliche Betrachtungsweise. Die KKH ist nicht wie eine Chronologie geschrieben, sie wird aber chronologisch, weil sie von Jahrhundert zu Jahrhundert geschrieben ist. Und eine durchgehende Struktur dieser Ketzergeschichte ist, dass wann immer die Umgebung der Christen ihren Glauben fürchtete, die Christen zum Ketzer gemacht und verfolgt wurden. Noch eine Struktur, die man in der KKH findet, ist, dass aus einer freien Gemeinde sich oft eine Machtstruktur entwickelte. Diese Struktur unterdrückt die ursprüngliche Mentalität der Gruppe und ausstieß diejenigen, die beständig blieben. Die Entwicklung von Gruppestruktur einer Gemeinde, ist mit Jan Assmanns kulturelle Gedächtnistheorie zu behaupten versucht. Diese Arbeit ist eigentlich eine zusammenhängende Kritik auf die Geistlichkeit der katholischen Kirche, die die Ketzer nicht duldete, weil sie ihre Macht und Ehre drohten. Aber heute gehört die Ketzergeschichte Arnolds zum Archiv, weil man von ungefähr 300 Jahre nicht von solchen Ketzer gehört hat, von denen darüber Arnold schrieb. Die Arbeit ist in zwei Teile geteilt. Erst die Einleitung, die über Arnold und sein Buch erzählt. Dann kommt der Hauptteil, wo man über unterschiedliche Ketzerverfolgungen lesen kann.

Abstract:	On the background of a close reading of Ridley Scott’s war film Black Hawk Down (USA 2001; BHD), this paper investigates the formal properties through which a certain strain of war and action movies discursively constitutes the other – the enemy - as less than human. I develop the argument that the emergent relation between friend and foe in these films can be read through the concept of the border as an epistemological barrier that keeps the other incomprehensible, inaccessible, and ultimately ungrievable. Having demonstrated how BHD sets up such epistemological barriers, I widen focus and show that similar formal properties can be found in other audio-visual media, such as video games or news items. I then proceed to investigate how the societal impacts of this audio-visual rhetoric might be conceptualized. Do the mass media constitute a logistics organizing audiences’ perceptions of war, violence, and the other? Does the barring of the face of the enemy from the public sphere of appearance render particular lives ungrievable and therefore unprotectable? The main theoretical frame of the paper consists of an application of the discourse theory by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe to an analysis of audio-visual media, and of the approaches by Judith Butler, James Der Derian, and Paul Virilio to conceptualize impacts of media representations on political discourse and practice in times of war.

Abstract:	Avhandlinga tar for seg de folkelig aksepterte hovedpillarene innen samisk lyrikk, og også samisk litteratur som helhet, i tre forskjellige perioder i det 20. århundre. Den tidlige oppblomstringa av samisk skriftkultur tidlig i århundret, representert ved Pedar Jalvi. Kampen for anerkjennelse av samiske rettigheter på 60- og 70-tallet, representert ved Paulus Utsi. Inngangen til det post-moderne mot slutten av århundret, representert ved Nils-Aslak Valkeapää. Disse tre lyrikerne har vært pregende for hver sin periode, og har bidratt til å forme og skape samisk retorikk, både hvilken utadrettet politisk retorikk samene har ført og retorikken som har vært ført innad i det samiske samfunnet. Avhandlinga går inn i konkrete dikt av disse tre lyrikerne, trekker linjer mellom dem og problematiserer diskursen de representerer. Den ser også på hvordan diskursen utvikler seg i den kanoniserte samiske lyrikken gjennom det 20. århundre.
