▼ This dissertation is a systematic examination on the literary representations of monsters throughout the life span of Chinese classical tales, from the Six Dynasties period to the end of the Qing dynasty. Monsters are anomalous, spiritualized animals, plants or objects, alien to human kind, yet almost all monsters in China are human-like: some have acquired certain human qualities, while others can even assume human forms. ❧ At the center of the Chinese conception of monsters is their ambiguous relationship with humans: monsters are like humans, but not humans. The majority of Chinese accounts on monsters exist in the form of classical tales, stories written down in classical language by elite authors. These monster tales form a distinct body of texts where men of letters are allowed to address a complex set of cultural concerns about the boundaries around the human realm through constructing images of monsters in various ways. ❧ Focusing on the intricate relationship between monsters and humans, I will delineate three distinct literary conventions of representing monsters in classical tales. 1), monsters are often portrayed as the “other” to humans, a strange existence outside of social structure and cultural norms. Yet in a sense, they are also a mirror that reflects human desires and human anxieties that have been repudiated, externalized and defeated. 2), monsters can be domesticated and humanized, turning into exact mirror images of human beings, even the epitome of human virtues. 3), monsters can also be demystified and internalized as the product of human mind and human behavior, making human beings mirror images of the otherness and monstrosity originally attributed to monsters. Each chapter explores one of the 3 traditions of representing monsters and its complex meanings. I will also trace the changes in the representations of monsters over time and in different social and cultural contexts within each literary tradition that I have identified, as well as the interplay of all three traditions during the late imperial period, which, as I argue, makes it possible for the monsters to straddle various culturally constructed borders.

▼ In the early stages of the Thebaid, Statius provides graphic descriptions of three female monsters: in book 1 the Fury Tisiphone and the hybrid snake-woman Apollo sends against Argos; and in book 2 the Theban Sphinx. In their wake, the poem contains several further representations threatening femininity which evoke these monsters in language, imagery, and theme. Not only representing the troubled and troubling women of the Theban household, Statius infuses his epic with images of disturbing femininity seemingly disconnected from the Theban mythological cycle, namely Thessalian witches (implicitly, Lucan’s witch, Erichtho) in book 3, and the Lemnian murderesses in book 5. While recent Statian scholarship has examined the representation of femininity in the Thebaid with a view to unpacking the ambiguous, often threatening portrayals of female grief in the poem, studies have often separated the theme of femininity from that of monstrosity. Utilising aspects of the developing field of monster studies (recently brought into contact with Classics by Lowe (2015), Felton (2012), and Murgatroyd (2007)), this thesis analyses the textual and cultural significance of Statius’ ‘monstrous-feminine’. In Chapter 1 I argue that Statius’ three female monsters appear early in the text not only to portend the violent horrors about to unfold and signify the chthonic powers that dominate the epic, but also to embody physical and behavioural transgression and disorder, giving these themes a particularly feminine edge that overshadows the subsequent characterisations of prominent females in the text, and establishes Statius’ own version of the monstrous-feminine. In Chapter 2 I argue that female figures such as the Theban mothers Ide and Jocasta, along with Argia and the Argive mourners, and the Lemnian women of book 5 are connected to the theme of monstrosity in the poem, and vital to a pervasive anxiety within the epic that relates to maternity, cyclicality, and regression. In Chapter 3 I argue that, in his formulation and utilisation of monstrosity, Statius employs archaic (but nevertheless prevalent) tropes of misogyny to create an epic overwhelmed by a feminine horror that speaks to Flavian anxieties regarding regression and repetition, and broader Roman anxieties relating to power, gender, the body, and identity.

▼ Focussing on humaniod monsters, this thesis uses insights from Foucault's theory about the "archaeology" of discourses and Derrida's practice of deconstruction to examine how monstrosity was spoken of in antiquity, and how the various "sciences" dealt with anomalous monsters without jeopardising their epistemological credibility. Discussion begins with a survey of the semantic field of teras and monstrum. Since portentousness was central to both terms, the signification of monstrous portents in divinatory practice is next aalysed in the historiography of Herodotus, Livy, and others. Cicero's De divinatione reveals the theory and the problem for that science posed by accidental monstrosities. Chance and novelty are also issues in mythical and scientific cosmogonies < of Hesiod, and Orphism, Empedo-cles, and Lucretius> , where monsters arise and are dealt with while cosmic regularities, reproductive and ethical, are being established. Teleology and the stability of species'forms emerge as important concerns. These issues are further considered in Aristotle's bioogy and in medical writings from Hippocrates to Galen. There, theories are produced about monstrous embryology which attempt to answer the question of how deformities occur if species' forms are perpetuated through repro-duction. Biological and taxonomic – as well as ethical – boundaries are violated also by mythic human-beast hybrids. Narratives about such anomalies clarify the nature of monstrous deviance and enact solutions to the problem. Their strategies have much in common with other modes of discourse. Ethnography <from Herodotus to Pliny and Solinus> is posed similar questions about monstrous races' physical and ethical deviations from the civilised norm; it speaks of those issues in terms of invariance of form through generations, geographical remoteness and the codes which situate those races ethically. Finally, Augustine’s discourse on monstrous individuals and races is examined as Christianity’s belief in God’s governance reformulates the ancient’s discussions of chane or novelty and the invariance of species. In all these discourses founded on determinate meaning, the persistant paradox of monstrosity need offer no challenge to rationality provided its indefinable diversity is unacknowledged and the notion is constructed in such a way as to reaffirm the certainties.

▼ This dissertation traces the academic institutionalization and evolving concerns of teratologists, who studied environmental causes of birth defects in midcentury America. The Teratology Society officially formed in 1960, with funds and organizational support from philanthropies such as the National Foundation (Later known as The March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation). Teratologists, including Virginia Apgar, the well-known obstetric anesthesiologist and inventor of the Apgar Score, were soon embroiled in public concerns about pharmaceutically mediated birth defects. Teratologists acted as consultants to industry and government on pre-market reproductive toxicology testing for pharmaceuticals. However, animal tests seemed unable to clearly predict results in humans and required careful interpretation of dosage and animal species and strain responses. By the late 1960s, amidst the popular environmental movement, teratologists grappled with public claims that birth defects resulted from exposure to industrial pollutants in water or air, or from food additives, pesticides, and industrial waste or effluent. In a crowded field of professionals concerned with pharmaceutical or chemical exposures during pregnancy, teratologists proved adaptive and resilient. Despite influences from the environmental movement, teratologists at times tried to contain the substances and outcomes considered relevant and called for greater vetting of chemical claims, amidst rampant journalistic and public accusations about iatrogenic or industrial harm. Both experimental teratology and epidemiology informed these debates but each faced explanatory insecurities in causal inference that left room for parental anxiety and considerable speculation about uncertain harms to susceptible fetuses. Concomitantly, environmental scientists and activist geneticists wanted to expand the definition of a teratogen to include more subtle or long-term outcomes and raising concerns about the as-yet-undetected reproductive hazards associated with chemical profligacy. Thus, by the 1960s and 1970s, a more general definition of non-genetic factors influencing mechanisms of developmental defect was overwhelmed by a vision of toxic chemical hazards, often pharmaceuticals, affecting development (particularly cognitive or neurobehavioral effects). I argue that the protectionist experimental science of teratologists in the 1950s, the calculative science of epidemiological risk and environmentalist’s neo-eugenic claims of damaged children resulting from corporate negligence and industrial pollution that gained ground in the 1960s and 1970s contributed to a late twentieth-century characterization of pregnancy as a risky state.

▼ In this thesis, I explore the practices of English-speaking readers of shônen manga (Japanese comics written primarily for an audience of teenage boys). I concentrate on three series in particular: Hiromu Arakawa’s Fullmetal Alchemist (2001–2010), Tite Kubo’s Bleach (2001–ongoing), and Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto (1999–ongoing). I argue that, although it may appear to be inherently imbued with (authorial) meaning, the shônen manga text emerges from a curious ‘alchemy’ through which the practices of readers transform the ‘raw’ materials provided by manga creators to produce a text that appears to have always been inherently meaningful in itself. I argue that this is always an impossible and monstrous transformation. In the first chapter, I introduce the monstrous combinations of words and pictures, panels and gutters known as shônen manga and argue for the importance of taking the practices of ‘ordinary’ (or, at least, non-scholarly) reading seriously. In the second chapter I explore the idea that reading is an ‘alchemy’ through which the disparate elements readers encounter on the page are transformed into a meaningful text. In the third chapter, I discuss the ways in which time and narrative are braided as readers assemble the disparate elements they encounter on the shônen manga page. In Chapter 4, I explore the visceral thrills of reading shônen manga, which are often expressed through notions of the awesome and the epic. Finally, in Chapter 5, I examine the ways in which a group of shônen manga readers known as ‘shippers’ find love and romance amidst the fighting in shônen manga and demonstrate the legitimacy of these readings by locating them in the material text through the concept of ‘canon’. By attending to reading as an embodied and material practice in this way, the thesis contributes to debates about the relationships between creators, texts and audiences and ongoing attempts to imagine new ways of being critical within cultural and literary studies. Within cultural geography, these kinds of attempts have often been aligned with what might broadly be described as nonrepresentational theories. As such, this thesis attempts to draw out the geographies through which manga texts are realised as manga texts at all.

▼

In the first two centuries of European exploration of North America, accounts of monsters, including ones given by Indigenous guides, were largely accepted by Europeans as reflecting actual creatures. Gradually, under the influence of a range of factors, this dynamic shifted over time. Continued exploration, the spread of Enlightenment ideas, and changing material circumstances led to a decline in the belief in monsters—or at least put the belief in them beyond respectability, thereby enlarging the cultural gulf between various Indigenous cultures and European explorers and settlers, or at least the social elite of that latter group. In Canada, as argued here, the “sasquatch” was a hybrid creation combining Indigenous and European traditions; the windigo was an Indigenous monster tradition; the “grisly bear” was predominately a monster of the European imagination. Perceptions of each in European exploration literature followed a similar trajectory of increasing skepticism. Each evolved from creatures that were depicted as innately hostile or dangerous into somewhat more benign pop culture images as they lost their potency once the frontier receded and North America urbanized. As the gap in perspectives on monsters widened in exploration and frontier literature over the course of the nineteenth century, new narratives emerged that were much more negative in their depictions of Indigenous peoples. Frequently, this negativity, when connected with monster legends, depicted Indigenous peoples as cowardly or superstitious. With the sasquatch, European stereotypes about Indigenous people had by the 1870s partially supplanted what had once been a sense of genuine mystery regarding this frontier legend. The exploitation of windigo stories to portray Indigenous peoples as cowardly and superstitious also arose mainly after the 1870s, as earlier generations of explorers and fur traders had exhibited more receptive attitudes. Meanwhile many voyageurs and lower status trappers retained beliefs on monsters closer to their Indigenous counterparts, and as a result were often lumped into the same category as sharing premodern, superstitious beliefs by their social elites. Finally, in the third example, the “grisly bear” became a bloodthirsty monster in the European settler imagination. It was the last mainstream European monster myth, before it too largely faded away in the face of skeptical inquiry. However, such skepticism, voiced normally from afar, frequently misunderstood and misconstrued the nature of these legends, and the truths they had contained.

L’objectif de cette thèse a été d’étudier les caractéristiques et la spécificité des discours savants, élaborés au 18e siècle par des académiciens, des naturalistes, des médecins et des accoucheurs, sur la question des malformations physiques. Que signifie de façon plus concrète appartenir à la période positive1 pour l’écriture savante sur les êtres difformes. Nous avons procédé en trois temps et enquêté sur trois cadres discursifs différents : les mémoires académiques publiés à l’Académie Royale des Sciences à Paris, les traités d’histoire naturelle, les manuels d’accouchement et deux dissertations concernant la légitimité des naissances tardives. Dans ces espaces, l’importance accordée au corps difforme varie en fonction de l’ethos des auteurs, de leur approche méthodologique et selon les objectifs du cadre discursif dans lequel ils s’expriment.Le témoignage oculaire, la dissection et l’observation sont des paramètres centraux pour les académiciens qui examinent le corps difforme per se. Les traités d’histoire naturelle ont une envergure plus générale, les auteurs doivent prendre en considération une multitude des phénomènes. Dans le cadre de ce savoir les monstres deviennent une partie de la nature. La naturalisation des êtres malformés et leur considération comme des parties inhérentes à la nature continue l’idée que les monstres sont des êtres réels. Dans les discours qui concernent les naissances, les monstres sont présentés comme des cas pathologiques qui dérangent le déroulement normal de l’accouchement.Notre étude montre qu’en dépit de cette diversité qui implique également une évolution de la pensée sur les monstres, certaines lacunes, des manques et des non- dits marquent les discours savants de la période des Lumières. Plus particulièrement, l'examen des écrits permet de mieux saisir la dimension transitoire qui semble caractériser le 18e siècle; un siècle qui constitue un pont entre la période fabuleuse et la période scientifique.

The purpose of this work has been to study the characteristics and the specificity of learned discourses on monsters in Enlightened France. We wanted to describe and define the features of a positive period1 in the history on monsters. In order to answer this question we have focused on three learned frames of the 18th century: the academic papers published in the Royal Academy of Sciences of Paris, the treatises of natural history, the childbirth manuals and two dissertations on the topic of the legitimacy of late childbirths. In these three frames, the importance accorded to the deformed body depends on the author’s ethos, on his methodological approach and on the goals and aims of the discipline in which he is writing.We have seen that in the three discursive frames the authors insist on the real existence of the monsters which are carefully detached from fabulous connotations and from superstitions. The dissections and the observations are important ingredients in the work of the academicians who examine the deformed body per se. The natural history treatises adopt a…

▼ This thesis is concerned with the conditions of generating a livable Karoo landscape and the arts of living on a damaged Karoo veld. It takes place in a context where the anthropogenic influences on land degradation, desertification and biodiversity loss continues to haunt the Karoo in the present. The Karoo is a semi-arid region that spans the interior of South Africa. It is also region that has been subject to ongoing and widespread concern of the impact of overgrazing, threatening the livability of the Karoo landscape. This is a result of human/nonhuman relations that have been grounded in a colonial mastery of the land, whereby the advent of private property regimes, modernist technologies and capitalist extraction has allowed for the land to be cheapened, exhausted and severely degraded in a process of colonial dispossession. This research is a qualitative ethnography interacting with farmers and nonhumans on rangelands in the Great Karoo. This thesis shows how the earlier degradation of the Karoo has demanded farmersto pay attention to the relationalities between ecology and economy, since their economic/ecological survival depends entirely on the ongoing multispecies assemblages of which humans form a part. Infrastructures and technologies have become grounds for new ontological practices of regenerating the Karoo veld. Infrastructures (namely fencing) and sheep are used in ways that mimic the earlier migration of large herds of antelope. Here, the bodies of sheep are curated and moved in order to perform a particular ordering of a Karoo ‘nature’. This movement is believed to instigate multispecies liveliness. Sheep, who were once destroyers of the veld, are now enrolled in practices that are believed to bring back the ‘natural’ vegetation of the Karoo. The thesis problematises the ongoing Western ways of knowing that separate the world into binaries of ‘nature’/’culture’, ‘human’/’non-human’, ‘subject’/object’, ‘domestic’/‘wild’, ’economy’/‘ecology’, ‘life’/‘death’. Rather, it argues that a concern with ontological plurality is a process of paying attention to the mutual ecologies and multiple species that gather in human/nonhuman worlding projects on rangelands in the Karoo.

▼ This dissertation examines the depiction of monstrous children in modern Japanese fiction and cinema from 1946 to 2008. My area of focus begins in Japan’s immediate postwar, with an analysis of Ishikawa Jun’s feral boy / Christ figure in Yakeato no Iesu (“The Jesus of the Ruins”) and an examination of Okuizumi Hikaru’s 1994 novel Ishi no raireki (translated by James Westerhoven as The Stones Cry Out), a story of the ways in which a former soldier’s violent past haunts him through the lives and deaths of his two children. My second chapter deals with Ōe Kenzaburō’s depiction of an “idiot son” in stories including Kojinteki na taiken (A Personal Matter) and Sora no kaibutsu Aghwee (Aghwee the Sky Monster). Chapter three focuses on contemporary Japanese horror films, in particular films such as Ringu that feature vengeful child spirit characters. I end my dissertation with an analysis of Oshii Mamoru’s 2008 film The Sky Crawlers, which imagines an alternate future in which child pilots fight staged aerial battles for the entertainment of adults. ❧ Depictions of violent, vengeful, physically mutated, and supernatural children have existed in Japanese literature since the eighth-century Kojiki (The Chronicles of Japan) described the birth of an armless, legless “leech child” to the gods Izanagi and Izanami, the mythical progenitors of the Japanese race (and the islands themselves). Scholarship on each of the two tropes under consideration, children and monsters, has flourished in the fields of modern and early modern literary studies, folklore studies, and cultural history. In examining each figure separately, scholars have historicized the idea of childhood and linked the study of monsters to conflicted attitudes about modernity. When brought together, however, the amalgam of these two figures reveals a broader throughline in postwar literature—a series of representations of monstrous children coinciding with periods of historical rupture. In examining how Japanese literature and film dramatizes a character recognized by its grotesque physical appearance, its supernatural state, and / or its violent nature as a “monstrous child,” I reveal the similar ways that two seemingly disparate icons are embedded in their specific literary, cultural, and social histories to represent something beyond themselves, often in contradictory ways. In short, monstrous children in prose fiction, comic books, and film represent transcendental qualities like hope, innocence, and an idealized vision of the past, while at the same time representing a threat to those same transcendental qualities. It is in fact this very contradiction that prose fiction explores and exploits. ❧ As a marker of difference and a transitional figure, existing somewhere between human and monster, child and adult, past and future, the paradoxical figure of the monstrous child seeks to make sense of the symbolic order—of the laws and unwritten agreements that govern the roles, identities, and taboos of human existence—even as it defies that order. In the literature… Advisors/Committee Members: Lippit, Akira Mizuta (Committee Chair), McKnight, Anne (Committee Member), Bialock, David T.

Cette étude que j'ai intitulé «Œuvre monstre, une création informe» s'inscrit dans une recherche dans l'art contemporain sur des phénomènes plastiques liés à l'idée de l'extrême. Ils restent tributaires d'une théorie de la forme vers celle de l'informe et d'une grande plasticité que rehaussent mes œuvres personnelles, mélangeant de façon heureuse la sculpture traditionnelle et le numérique. Or, associer l'image numérique, l'argile et la vidéo au sujet du monstre était une manière de toucher au plus profond des œuvres cruelles et informes, de ressemblances déchirantes et déchirées. La forme monstrueuse n'est donc pas réduite à une simple signification consciente, elle transcrit un discours univoque et le monstre devient alors le concept par excellence dans ma pratique plastique. L'œuvre devient de l'ordre de "monstrum", l'image est d'essence "monstrative". Chaque image, telle qu'elle soit, numérique, photographique ou vidéographique est une monstrance. La sculpture serait la représentation du corps déchu, ou de l'image de la mort, qui surgit dans le miroir de Narcisse qui n'a plus rien à faire de la ressemblance, donnant un reflet qui appréhende le masque de Méduse. Cette recherche qui s'attache à l'informe, débusque les mythes sous des pratiques violentes et accidentées, appuyée par une recherche théorique qui s'est développée notamment autour de la pensée de Georges Bataille, ainsi que des anthropologues et de la phénoménologie, et par leurs pensées, l'œuvre ramène les différentes expériences d'extrême, d'excès, et de perte, à la dimension du sacrifice.

This study I entitled "Monster Work, a Formless Creation" is to be inscribed within a contemporary art research that deals with the idea of the extreme in relation to plastic phenomena, for the latter depend on the theory of form and on a great plasticity enhanced by personal creations that happily melt traditional sculptures with digital technology. As a matter of fact, combining the digital image, the clay and the video, with the monster, was a way to reach what is profound within formless and cruel works of art that are of painful and torn resemblances. The monstrous form is, thus, not reduced to a simple conscious significance, it transcribes an unambiguous discourse and the monster becomes the concept, par excellence, of my plastic practice. The work of art becomes connected to the "monstrum" and the image is inherently endowed with a visual power (in French "monstrative"). Every image, be it digital, photographic or video graphic is a monstrance. Sculpture would be the representation of the fallen body or the image of death that appears in Narcissus Mirror and that is no longer related to any form of resemblance, showing a reflection that grasps the Mask of Medusa. This research that is focusing on formlessness serves to dispel the myths under violent and rugged practices supported by a theoretical research based on the philosophy of Georges Bataille as well as that of anthropologists and phenomenologists, and through their thoughts, the work brings the…

▼ Various texts theorize the wanton woman and the conditions that created her but none so much as Leslie Fiedler's Love and Death in the American Novel. His book speaks to a particularly American wanton, monstrous woman because, as Fiedler states quite accurately, the very roots of America are a result of our relationship with the other and with fear. The puritans feared God, Satan, Indians, and women. Over time, the United States has encountered myriad others to fear as well. As a result of this fear, says Fiedler, American literature is, at its heart, gothic literature. More importantly, this fear is demonstrated through a lack of mature love relations in American plotlines and in authors' characterizations of women. Fiedler is absolutely correct in his connection of an American gothic sensibility to a problematic relationship with women. However, his discussion of Hannah Webster Foster's novel, The Coquette, is inadequate. He suggests that Foster adheres to well-worn gothic motifs when, in fact, she does not. Eliza Wharton contains elements of a gothic and sentimental heroine. However, Eliza struggles in a culture of fear and convention and resists these forces as long as she can. This resistance to convention in the first novel written by a woman born in the United States indicates the beginning of a conversation with the American gothic consciousness Fiedler suggests. My claim, therefore, is that there is another set of stories and symbols that runs counter to this gothic sensibility so deeply entrenched in American literature. There are writers who create female characters that resist conventions but are aware of a "gothic "conversation, with Foster and The Coquette as the initiators of this conversation. Novels that also have this conversation include The Scarlet Letter, The Awakening, Lolita, and Sula. These texts were each simultaneously (Published By University of Alabama Libraries) Advisors/Committee Members: Whiting, Frederick, Beidler, Philip, Manora, Yolanda, Smith, Cassander, Marouan, Maha, University of Alabama.
