  1. 1. "Unsought, presented so easily" : A Phenomenological Study of Awe in the Poetical Works of Gerard Manley Hopkins

    Författare :Elisabet Dellming; Paul Schreiber; Kevin Hart; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Gerard Manley Hopkins; poetry; awe; experience; phenomenol-ogy; the sensuous; metaphor; époche; invisible life; revelation; eschatology; English; engelska;

    Sammanfattning : As a phenomenon, awe is not reducible to any combination of distinct elements such as wonder, fear or reverence, but combines all of these together with surprise or even anguish. The metaphors with which awe can be described therefore never fully define what it feels like to be affected by awe: awe is motion, elevation, lightness, and flight. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Iconized migrant writers such as Michael Ondaatje, Salman Rushdie and Ben Okri use their fictional worlds to articulate the ways in which existential “nervous conditions,” caused by violent postcolonial history, drive individuals to rework the critical notions of freedom, authenticity and community. This existential thread in their works has been largely ignored or left undeveloped in literary criticism. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Alice Munro; fate; possibility-space; compellation; phenomenology; Canadian literature; short story; realism; Alain Badiou; Maurice Natanson; English language; Engelska språket; English; engelska;

    Sammanfattning : With its perennial interest in the seemingly ordinary lives of small-town people, Alice Munro’s fiction displays a deceptively simple surface reality that on closer scrutiny reveals intricate levels of unexpected complexity about the fundamentals of human experience: love, choice, mortality, faith and the force of language. This study takes as its main purpose the exploration of Munro’s stories in terms of the intricacy of emotions in the face of commonplace events of life and their emerging possibilities. LÄS MER
