▼ This study explores the potential of a Hollywood genre film to disestablish those retrogressive gender, ethnic and cultural representations that are frequently encoded in the tropes of Hollywood genre cinema. To that end, the study engages in a close analysis of six Hollywood genre films released between 2000 and 2015. These films are identifiably genre works that nonetheless appear to reconfigure key structuring tropes of their genre. The analysis gives rise to a set of strategies toward the creation of a cinema that offers the pleasures of the Hollywood genre film form, while tending to resist such retrogressive gender, ethnic and cultural representations as are typically encoded within that form. This set of strategies then informs an original screenplay, presented as an Appendix to this work. The six films under discussion are selected from the Hollywood genre oeuvre of three directors: Kathryn Bigelow, Jane Campion and Ang Lee. Each film is rooted in a recognizable genre idiom or combination of genre idioms. Divided into six chapters, the study focuses on one film per chapter, beginning with an overview of the film's generic provenance. Establishing the dominant contemporary conventions and tropes of that genre, each film is then examined as it reproduces, recodes or otherwise reframes those conventions by focussing on the film's three constitutive elements: its construction of protagonist, its presentation of gender and ethnic relations, and its expression of cultural context. The study reveals that all six films deploy a specific set of strategies in their engagement with genre idiom. All six begin by signalling, through their three constitutive elements, an adherence to familiar genre tropes, prompting clear genre recognition. The films then reconfigure, recode or otherwise reframe selected tropes of their genre to produce challenging, counter-generic meanings that disestablish certain conventions of representation, while remaining within the idiom of their chosen genre. However, the study concludes that the recoding of certain genre-typical thematic polarities can serve to disestablish one form of hegemonic representation, while effectively reproducing another form, a strategy that results in partial disruption and partial reinforcement of retrogressive genre norms. Informed by the set of strategies thus established, the original screenplay Sea Fever is presented as an Appendix to this work. Advisors/Committee Members: Quigley, Paula.

▼ This dissertation argues that twenty-first-century American novels, comics, and films are increasingly showing that popular, paraliterary genre fiction is a deep resource for historical representation. "Pulp historiography" is a new branch in the evolution of historical fiction, marking the junction of postmodernist historiography and the "generic turn" of recent literary history. Its practitioners participate in various paraliterary and literary genres within single works by alternating between or hybridizing distinct conventions. This jarring approach denaturalizes the templates of literary realism and professional historiography that dominate representations of the past. Pulp historiography thus exposes the way that genre conventions – and the cultural hierarchy that privileges certain genres above others – shape historical knowledge. Moreover, pulp historiography uses the metaphors, plots, and representational strategies of paraliterature – including comics, fantasy, mysteries, science fiction, and Westerns – to narrate history in powerful, new ways. While this engagement with popular forms might seem to extend the high/low dialectic of modernism and postmodernism, this dissertation argues that it is less a pastiche of paraliterary traditions than a participation in them. For twenty-first-century historical fiction, the narrative forms of mass entertainment are complex traditions that both have a history and have much to say about history. The genre mash-ups analyzed in Pulp Historiography bear out this historiographic potential. Junot Díaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) uses science fiction and fantasy to fill gaps in the traumatic history of Dominicans during and after the Trujillo dictatorship. Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union (2007) synthesizes hardboiled detective fiction and alternate-history science fiction to simulate a sense of the precariousness of modern Jewish history. Mat Johnson and Warren Pleece's Incognegro: A Graphic Mystery (2008) revises superhero comics, detective mysteries, passing narratives, and anti-lynching journalism to illustrate how the history of racial representation fueled the history of racial violence in the Jim Crow South. And Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal's The Hurt Locker (2008) and Zero Dark Thirty (2012) and Clint Eastwood and Jason Hall's American Sniper (2014) fuse documentary aesthetics, Orientalist tropes, and the American frontier myth to narrate the "war on terror" as a Western writ large.

▼ This dissertation examines the shifting set of formal and conceptual relations that have structured the intertwined development and reception of “the novel” and “poetry” since the Romantic period. In Part One, I focus on the continuing rise of the novel in the age of best-selling poetry, arguing that narrative poetry and the novel participated in a shared history of narrative innovation. I take the popular and formally innovative poems of Walter Scott as a particularly important example of poetry’s contribution to this shared history. Specifically, I argue that Scott’s knowledge of the ballad tradition and his modern experiments with poetry in that mode enabled him to introduce narrative techniques into the novel that prepare the way for the deployment of free indirect discourse in the novels of Jane Austen and her successors. More broadly, I attempt to describe a theory of generic interrelation that is capable of identifying and explaining the interrelated formal development of works written during the Romantic period. In Part Two, I work to recover and analyze the complex history of perceptions about genre from the Romantic period through the twentieth century. Since the Romantic period itself, many thinkers have been interested in identifying what is essentially poetic about poetry, and, as a closely related matter, in determining what can distinguish poetry from prose and the novel. But, as narrative poetry has declined in popularity, and as the novel has emerged as the dominant modern genre, the terms of these discussions—and the experiences and expectations of reading that prompt them—have not remained static. The reception of Lord Byron’s Don Juan provides a particularly fascinating example of this gradual change in generic perception. While in the nineteenth century there was a widespread conviction that the poem was too shockingly inappropriate to really qualify as “Poetry”—a poem that was not at all poetic—by the twentieth century critics are praising it for its novelistic features. I trace the long history of Don Juan’s reception as a way of drawing attention to an underappreciated feature of literary history: that perceptions of genres themselves are subject to historical change.

▼ Gothic studies, the specialist academic field that explores the Gothic text, has developed substantially over the last twenty-five years. The field often frames the Gothic as a serious literature, involved in historic discourse, and having special psychological acuity; this thesis suggests that there are a number of problems with these argumentative strategies, and that the academy now makes claims for the Gothic that are discontinuous with how this popular genre is understood by most readers. While Gothic studies is the study of a genre, curiously, it has seldom engaged with theorisations of genre. Nevertheless, an understanding of what genre is, and how it alters reading practice, is crucial to understanding the Gothic text. This thesis attempts to reconcile and develop a number of disparate approaches to genre through Pierre Bourdieu's notion of habitus. It argues that genre is not a set of textual conventions but a group of procedures that facilitate and modify both writing and reading practices. Consequently, genres like the Gothic should be seen as discrete historicised phenomena, which retain a cohesive practical sense of how they ought to be performed before they hold discursive properties. Rather than arguing for the literary value of the Gothic, this thesis understands the genre as a popular practice. The consequences of this theorisation of the Gothic are explored in case studies of particular moments in three separate Gothic fields. Firstly, the American Gothic of the mid-nineteen-eighties, particularly Stephen King's It, Joyce Carol Oates' Mysteries of Winterthurn, and Toni Morrison's Beloved, facilitates a discussion of the relationship between Gothic and literary practices. The Gothic text has its origins in 'lowbrow' popular culture, even as it sometimes aspires to 'highbrow' literary performances. Secondly, the English Gothic of the nineteen-sixties is used to stage a discussion of both the way that readers become involved and immersed in the Gothic text, creating a distinct subjunctive 'world', and of the way that Gothics define themselves in relation to each other. The discussion refers to Dennis Wheatley's The Devil Rides Out, which heavily influenced the field, as demonstrated in works by Susan Howatch, Kingsley Amis, Robert Aickman and Mervyn Peake. Wheatley's depiction of the black mass became a key Gothic procedure, and can be read as this particular field's metaphor of its own practice. Thirdly, New Zealand's underdeveloped Gothic field provides a venue to explore the Gothic's relationship with nation and national literature, and how the practice is involved in landscape. Frank Sargeson's stories and his novella The Hangover, together with Janet Frame's A State of Siege are texts authored by canonical New Zealand writers that participate in a local Gothic, although their participation in popular genre has been little recognised. This thesis argues that the Gothic is a commonsense cultural practice, facilitated through the canniness of habitus. Advisors/Committee Members: Jackson, Anna, Ferrall, Charles.

▼ Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää, millainen on Suomen Musiikintekijät ry -järjestön julkaisemien lausuntojen tuottamisprosessi ja millaisia tekstilajipiirteitä järjestön lausunnoilla on. Tavoitteena on tutkia haastattelun avulla lausuntotekstien tekijöitä, tavoitteita ja yleisöä sekä sitä, millaisin vaihein lausuntojen tuottamisprosessi etenee. Lausuntotekstien analyysissa tarkastellaan lausuntojen ulkoasua, rakennetta, jaksoja ja intertekstuaalisuutta. Lisäksi tarkastelussa on lausuntopyyntöjen vaikutus lausuntoteksteihin. Oletuksena on, että lausuntotekstien tuottaminen jakautuu erilaisiin vaiheisiin ja että lausuntoteksteistä voidaan hahmottaa tekstilajin kannalta valinnaisia ja pakollisia jaksoja. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu noin tunnin mittaisesta tutkimushaastattelusta sekä kuudesta lausuntotekstistä, jotka on poimittu järjestön verkkosivuilta. Haastateltavana on järjestön toiminnanjohtaja. Tutkimuksen teoreettisen taustan muodostavat systeemis-funktionaalinen kieliteoria sekä tekstilajiin, diskurssintutkimukseen, rekisteriin ja kontekstiin liittyvät käsitteet ja näkökulmat. Analyysien perusteella järjestön toiminnanjohtaja on päävastuussa lausunnoista. Lausunnon tuottamisprosessi jakautuu lausuntopyynnön saamiseen, sisällön suunnitteluun, kirjoittamiseen ja lausunnon eteenpäin lähettämiseen ja julkaisemiseen. Analyysissa selviää, että lausuntopyynnön rakenne vaikuttaa lausunnon rakenteeseen ja asioiden esittämisjärjestykseen. Lausunnoissa viitataan erityisesti lakeihin, määräyksiin, sopimuksiin, esityksiin ja selvityksiin sekä muihin lausuntoihin ja lausuntopyyntöihin. Monet näistä viittauksista liittyvät lausuntopyynnön tai kommentoitavan tekstin sisältöön. Tutkimusaineiston lausunnoista voidaan erottaa visuaalisten ja typografisten seikkojen avulla jaksot osoittaminen vastaanottajalle, lausuntopyynnön mainitseminen, lausunnon antajan esittely, kiitokset, yhteenveto, käsittelykappaleet ja päiväys ja allekirjoitus. Analyysien perusteella lausuntojen leipätekstin sisäinen variaatio luo lausunnon tekstilajista melko vakiintumatonta kuvaa, mutta toisaalta jaksoista voidaan näinkin pienellä aineistolla esittää esimerkiksi skemaattisen kokonaisrakenteen kuvaus, jossa on melko kiinteä järjestys ja jossa lähes kaikki jaksot ovat pakollisia eli toistuvat kaikissa tai useimmissa aineiston lausunnoissa. Tämä viittaisi siihen, että lausunnoissa on osin vakiintuneitakin rakenteita. Lausuntotekstin tuottamisprosessi jakautuu oletuksen mukaisesti erilaisiin vaiheisiin, jotka voidaan eritellä. Tutkimuksen myötä tieto järjestöjen tekstityöstä ja tekstien tuottamisen prosesseista laajenee. Lisäksi päästään hieman lähemmäs lausunnon tekstilajin piirteiden selvittämistä ja kuvaamista.

▼ This thesis takes the critical response generated by Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Buried Giant, his most recent novel, as an invitation to re-examine the overall literary ‘experiment’ of his body of work. Ishiguro’s novels, regardless of their genre, message, or cultural moment, create experiences in which the reader engages with each narrator as if they were a human being. His attention to stylistic and formal detail foregrounds our awareness of his art in each text, and much scholarship focuses on overarching discussions of memory, identity, and history; however, this all relies upon the empathy that the texts generate between the character-narrator and the reader. The commitment to mimesis over the synthetic or thematic dimensions of the text, to draw on the theoretical model of character presented by James Phelan, often remains covert throughout each novel, but character mimesis nevertheless acts as both an accessible entry point to the novels, and a consistent touchstone throughout and across the texts. Upon the publication of The Buried Giant, Ishiguro was met with criticism and dissatisfaction from numerous reviewers and scholars, despite general public appreciation of the novel. At the heart of this dissatisfaction lies a sense that Ishiguro’s foray into fantasy lacks the affective power of his iconic artlessness. Specifically, The Buried Giant appears to lack a central, consistent, human voice to hold together the synthetic and thematic work that the text performs. This thesis presents an argument that finds within The Buried Giant the presence of a first-person voice that, rather than diverging from each of Ishiguro’s previous narrators, takes his experimentation with the first-person voice to a new extreme. This reading allows me to locate The Buried Giant more squarely back in conversation with the rest of Ishiguro’s oeuvre, by identifying a covert but vital thread that exists beneath the shifts in genre, thematic and synthetic choices, and context of the novel. I explore the establishment of character mimesis across Ishiguro’s body of work, how this feeds into both the dissatisfaction with The Buried Giant and my reconciliation of the novel to his earlier works, and finally how The Buried Giant and its shift to both a covert narrative voice and the genre of fantasy provides an opportunity to re-examine Ishiguro’s use of non-mimetic structures and generic conventions in his first six novels around the central, mimetic narrator. As suggested, this approach draws significantly on the theory of character presented by James Phelan, which allows for comprehensive consideration of diverse textual functions that occur both throughout a given text and across several texts of widely varying genres and perspectives. I touch on notions of unreliability, memory and subjective history, trauma, and identity performance, each of which are central to many pieces of scholarship on Ishiguro’s novels; however, the aim of this project is to swiftly push beyond readings that prioritise synthetic and thematic dimensions of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Grener, Adam.

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2012.

The present study aimed to document the ontogenetic development of Japanese EFL writers' rhetorical awareness, writing performances, and their lexicogrammatical choices as they engaged in carefully designed genre-based tasks over one academic year. The two-semester sequence of writing courses were designed based on the Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) perspective on genre learning (Martin & Rose, 2008). Instruction also integrated the genres into tasks (Byrnes, 2006) with the guidance from task-based language teaching (TBLT) principles (Norris, 2009). A total of 30 students divided into two different proficiency levels (15 in a higher proficiency group and 15 in a lower proficiency group) participated in the study. A triangulated inquiry was employed by gathering naturalistic data from intact classes: questionnaires, interviews, free writing, teacher-researcher field notes, and pre-instructional and post-instructional writing samples produced by the students at the two different periods of each semester. Findings showed that as the students engaged in the SFL-informed genre tasks, their concerns shifted to more genre-specific rhetorical issues that could accommodate the needs of the given context. The comparisons of their pre-and post-instructional writing tasks showed that enhanced rhetorical awareness affected their actual genre production in terms of their meaning-making language choices. However, proficiency effects were markedly observed in terms of how and to what degree they were able to elaborate grammatically sophisticated expressions to realize a genre. The results suggest that improved genre awareness might enable students to expand their language choices to some extent in a way that allows them to accommodate the genre demands, although their limited language proficiency might impede the expansion of meaning-making resources at a productive level. Explaining this phenomenon based on SFL theory, it can be argued that the ability to use more incongruent and metaphorical grammatical resources may appear at a later stage of a language learning process. Some pedagogical implications are discussed in terms of the interface between a genre-based approach to writing instructions and a task-based approach to language learning.

Läsförståelsen bland svenska elever sjunker och framförallt uppvisas en betydande skillnad mellan barn med svenska som modersmål, respektive som andraspråk. För att vända en liknande trend som fanns i Australien på 1980-talet utvecklades genrepedagogiken. Genrepedagogik innebär en parallell utveckling mellan språk- och ämneskunskaper och bygger på tre teorier: Vygotskijs sociokulturella perspektiv på lärande, Hallidays systemisk- funktionell grammatik, samt Rotherys och Martins skolgenrer och cykeln för undervisning och lärande. Tanken med arbetssättet är att samtidigt som eleverna lär sig, även lär sig det ämnesspecifika språket metaspråket och på så sätt får alla elever samma förutsättningar att utveckla sin kunskap. Syftet med denna studie är dessutom att se hur och om de fem tillfrågade lärarna i årskurserna förskoleklass till årskurs tre undervisar med hjälp av genrepedagogiken i ämnet svenska med fokus på skönlitterär läsning. Jag vill se vad de anser sig finnas för fördelar med att jobba med genrepedagogik i sin undervisning. Metoden som har använts i studien är kvalitativa intervjuer. Resultatet från studien visar att samtliga intervjuade lärares arbete med läsning i skolan varierade radikalt, och att deras erfarenheter och kunskaper om genrepedagogik som arbetsmetod ser olika ut. De visade sig positiva till arbetssättet och ser fördelar med att eleverna blir mer engagerade i och motiverade till läsning. Dessutom har samspel, stöttning och interaktion en stor plats i deras klassrum.

Reading skills among Swedish students are falling and, above all exhibited a significant difference between children with Swedish as their first language, or as a second language. To change a trend similar to that found in Australia in the 1980s developed the genre pedagogy. Genre Pedagogy implies a parallel development between language and subject knowledge and is based on three theories: Vygotsky's sociocultural perspectives on learning, Hallidays systematic - functional grammar and Rotherys and Martin's school genres and the cycle of teaching and learning. The idea behind this approach is that while students learn, they will even learning the subject-specific language meta-language and in this way all students get the same opportunities to develop their knowledge. The purpose of this study is also to look at how and if the five surveyed teachers in grades preschool to third grade to teach are using the genre pedagogy in the subject Swedish with focus on literary reading. I want to see what they consider to be the advantages of working with genre pedagogy in their teaching. The method I used in this study is qualitative interviews. The results from the study shows that all the five interviewed teachers work with reading in school varied radically, and that their experience and knowledge of the genre pedagogy working method is different. They showed their support for the approach and sees advantages to the students become more engaged in and motivated to read. In addition,…

▼ Les garçons prépubères qui manifestent une masculinité non normative sont fréquemment ostracisés dès un jeune âge, aussi bien par leurs pairs que par les adultes responsables de leur développement. Contrairement à d’autres enfants provenant de groupes minoritaires, ils ne bénéficient pas systématiquement de la protection de leurs parents qui, eux-mêmes, vivent fréquemment un sentiment de marginalisation. La recherche nous informe que ces parents effectuent des pressions parfois abusives afin d’influencer les comportements non normatifs de leur fils dans la direction d’une plus grande conformité. Le manque de soutien, qui s’ajoute à la pression à se conformer, a des conséquences négatives sur la santé mentale du jeune. Si les parents se tournent vers les professionnels de la santé, la controverse qui marque ce domaine d’étude tend à contribuer à la confusion ressentie. Cette étude qualitative avec analyse par théorisation ancrée a pour but de donner la parole aux parents afin de mieux comprendre leur expérience. Plus précisément, l'auteure cherche à répondre à la question suivante : quel rapport existe-t-il entre l’explication du parent quant à l'expression non normative de masculinité de son enfant, les émotions vécues par rapport à cette différence et les comportements qu’il démontre envers celui-ci? Cinq parents de trois garçons non normatifs dans leur expression de genre ont été interviewés par l'auteure à partir d'une grille d'entrevue semi-dirigée. Bien qu'il s'agisse d'un nombre restreint de participants, l'analyse révèle que tous les parents contactent des sentiments de craintes pour le bien-être, l'épanouissement et la sécurité de leur enfant. Leurs peurs motivent les limites qu'ils peuvent parfois leur imposer, mais aussi le soutien d'un certain nombre de comportements non normatifs, car ils reconnaissent que d'interdire toute expression pourrait davantage vulnérabiliser leur enfant en limitant le développement de leur estime de soi et de leur confiance en eux. L'intervention de professionnels bien renseignés sur ce phénomène sert à rassurer les parents sur l'issue identitaire de leur enfant, à valider l'importance de réfléchir aux lieux où s'exprimeront ces comportements non normatifs et à encourager le soutien d'expressions non normatives chez leur enfant. Les parents évaluent le domicile familial comme étant le lieu le plus sécuritaire pour leur enfant, et l'école, comme le plus dangereux. Assurer la sécurité fondamentale de son fils est la préoccupation première du parent pour l'avenir de son enfant, particulièrement à partir de l'école secondaire. Des recommandations sont proposées afin de rendre les milieux qui accueillent les jeunes plus ouverts à la diversité des expressions de genre.

▼ Dissertation under the direction of Professor Douglas A. Knight The story of Esther has a complex history of transmission and interpretation. This project examines the Hebrew (Masoretic Text) and Greek versions (Septuagint and Alpha Text) in order to understand how and why the texts depict the practices of fasting, prayer and circumcision differently. The lenses of historical criticism, literary criticism and Pierre Bourdieu's theory of practice shed light on the relationship of the texts both to one another and to their ancient socio-historical contexts. Both practices and religious texts play important roles in an individual's and group's identity and relationship to others, and the versions of Esther indicate different understandings of Judean/Jewish identity in the Diaspora. Each main body chapter highlights a particular practice related to Judean/Jewish identity and religion: fasting, prayer and circumcision. After engaging historical criticism in order to understand how the versions relate to each other developmentally, investigations of ideology and identity point to different perspectives associated with positions and power relations within the empires of the Hellenistic and Roman periods. In general, the history of redaction of each version is complex, so that the Masoretic Text, for example, is more developed than the Greek versions in some places in the text and less developed in others. Concerning ideology and identity, the Masoretic Text displays an interest in allegiance within the empire, making no explicit claims about God or Torah. In contrast, the Greek versions retain an interest in this allegiance, but observance of Torah is also vital to Judean/Jewish identity. Yet, each Greek version developed in different times and places, so they also differ with regard to allegiance and the roles the practices play. Ultimately, each version makes different claims about fasting, prayer and circumcision within larger narrative complexes espousing different notions of Judean/Jewish identity which developed out of different socio-historical contexts in the Second Temple period.

Cette thèse explore la manière dont s'est constitué le modèle générique de l'épopée, de l'Antiquité au XIXe siècle, à partir d'un corpus d'une dizaine d'oeuvres d'origine et d'époque diverses ; grecques, romaines, romanes, italiennes de la Renaissance et françaises des XVIIIe et XXIe siècles. Son ambition est de poser un autre regard sur le grand style ; considéré longtemps par les érudits comme le poème de l'excellence et objet des débats de la création littéraire, il n'est pas moins resté une forme opaque. Ce travail vise donc à établir une définition du genre, à mettre au jour ses lois de fonctionnement, en évitant d'en donner une image figée que l'évolution générique d'Homère à Hugo contredirait. Il s'appuie pour cette raison, sur la forme « historicisée », – les manifestations d'écart historiques- et sur la forme « actualisée » en examinant le genre dans ses relations avec son contexte. Il s'ouvre ainsi sur la philosophie et l'archéologie, étudie les liens existant entre l'oralité, l'écriture et la céramique grecque. Cette nouvelle approche permet d'interroger différemment l'intertextualité, d'aborder le double « le tissage » que les poètes réalisent dans leurs pratiques scripturales en ne filant jamais l'histoire pour elle-même mais toujours dans un rapport étroit avec la tradition. La lecture des oeuvres sous cet angle amène à voir que l'épopée produit une représentation du monde et de l'humanité dans ses dimensions secrètes ; elle adopte un concept, celui de la grandeur, qui lui permet d'allier majesté et exhaustivité. Le personnage lui sert de lieu d'observation privilégié, tandis qu'elle subordonne l'ensemble à un effet : le pathétique.

This research paper looks as the building of the epic genre from the Antiquity to the nineteenth century. It's based on a corpus of a dozen works drawn from various countries and centuries (Greek, roman, medieval, Italian Renaissance, eighteenth and nineteenth century France. It aims to take a fresh look at the so-called « epic style ». Although scholars have long considered epos to epitomize poetry and although much debate has been devoted to it, it has remained a fairly elusive form.The purpose of this paper is to lay down a definition of the epic genre to discover the feature rules, taking care not to produce too rigid a definition that would not do justice to the changes that took place between Homer and Hugo. I have therefore examined the works that did not strictly watch the criteria and I put epic into context, branching out to philosophy and archeology, while studying the links between the spoken written and the written versions and Greek ceramic vases.This new approach enables me to challenge intertextuality, to tackle the way poets weave their texts, echoing other people's works and borrowing from them. Reading those works makes me realize that the epic genre puts forward its own three dimensional Weltanschauung; it rests upon the notion of grandeur which allows it to combine harmony and exhaustivity. The character is the chief medium of observation and it seeks…

▼ Les représentations médiatiques ne sont pas neutres : elles occupent le lieu de l’imaginaire collectif et conditionnent l’action sociale. Cette thèse s’intéresse particulièrement à la performativité du langage dans la presse sportive comme forme de représentation sociale. Les réflexions théoriques qui la portent sont héritées principalement de John L. Austin et de Judith Butler. La démarche privilégie le concept de performativité pour décrire et évaluer les représentations des femmes athlètes dans la presse sportive canadienne. Ce concept de performativité correspond à la capacité du langage à agir sur le monde, à mobiliser vers l’action voire à transformer les perceptions et les interprétations établies. Les énoncés performatifs accomplissent l’acte qu’ils énoncent par le fait même qu’il l’énonce et opèrent par la redondance, c’est-à-dire par un effet répétitif qui consolide les représentations proposées, les stéréotypes dominants. En contre-partie à cet effet de consolidation, la performativité subversive se présente comme moyen d’intervention pour déstabiliser les assignations normatives et laisser place à de nouveaux schèmes. Puisque la thèse se concentre sur les représentations véhiculées dans la presse sportive, la recherche s’articule autour des questions suivantes : le vocabulaire dans la couverture sportive renforce-t-il les représentations traditionnelles du genre en sport, ou dégage-t-il des pratiques journalistiques de performativité subversive? Les représentations médiatiques des athlètes sont-elles similaires en anglais et en français? Une analyse de contenu quantitative et qualitative des Jeux olympiques de 2010 dans La Presse et le Globe and Mail suggère que les journalistes ont principalement recours à des pratiques de performativité subversive, car les hommes et les femmes athlètes sont généralement présentés de façon similaire. Des variables étudiées, deux (16,7%) s’inscrivent dans une performativité traditionnelle, quatre (33,3%) sont un lieu d’entre-deux et six (50%) reflètent des pratiques de performativité subversive. Le concept de performativité met en lumière l’existence d’une phase de transition dans le journalisme sportif alors que les stéréotypes traditionnels y sont moins présents. Une distinction s’observe toutefois entre les représentations anglophones et francophones. Les journalistes de La Presse ont davantage recours à des pratiques de performativité qui reprennent du traditionalisme. Cette observation repose sur une stratégie culturelle de la part des média québécois qui s’approprient la vie tant professionnelle que privée des athlètes pour les rapprocher des lecteurs.

▼ Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan muotibloggausta teksteinä realisoituvana sosiaalisena toimintana genre-käsitteen kautta. Tavoitteena on selvittää, voidaanko muotiblogi nähdä genrenä ja millaisia erityispiirteitä tällä genrellä on. Tutkittavana on kolme ruotsalaista, ruotsinkielistä, naisten ylläpitämää muotiblogia ja niiden sisältämä tekstimateriaali tammikuulta 2014. Tutkimus linkittyy paitsi monialaisen muotiblogitutkimuksen kenttään myös pohjoismaisen tekstintutkimuksen traditioon. Tutkimuksen taustalla on systeemis-funktionaalisen teorian käsitys kielestä teksteihin sidottuna sosiaalisena toimintana sekä laajaa tekstikäsitys, jossa teksti ymmärretään multimodaalisena ja kontekstiriippuvaisena. Tutkimuksen genrekäsitys pohjautuu Swalesin (1990) ja Bhatian (1993, 2004) teorioihin genrestä diskurssiyhteisön konventioihin perustuvana, tietyn kommunikatiivisen tavoitteen toteuttamiseen keskittyvänä tekstiluokituksena. Analyysimetodina on Hellspong & Ledinin (1997) tekstianalyysimetodi kirjoitetun tekstin osalta, ja tekstien sisältämä kuvamateriaali huomioidaan Barthesin (1964) denotaation ja konnotaation käsitteitä hyödyntäen. Tutkimuksen tulos osoittaa, että muotiblogitekstit voidaan nähdä genreteksteinä. Muotiblogitekstien sanavarasto viittaa yhtäläisyyksiin tekstien välillä, ja tutkimusmateriaalin ja referenssikirjallisuuden perusteella muotiblogiteksteillä on yhteinen diskurssiyhteisö, jonka tavoitteet heijastuvat genretekstien kommunikatiivisina tavoitteina. Muotiblogigenreä määrittäviä konventioita on löydettävissä liittyen tekstien puhuttelumuotoihin, teemoihin ja perspektiiviin sekä tekstuaaliseen rakenteeseen. Tutkimus luo lähtökohdan laajemmille muotiblogitekstejä käsitteleville jatkotutkimuksille, joiden myötä tutkimuksen tulosten yleistettävyys voitaisiin vahvistaa sekä ymmärrystä muotiblogitekstien konventioiden kirjosta lisätä. Vertailevia jatkotutkimuksia vaadittaisiin myös, jotta muotiblogigenren paikka genrehierarkiassa suhteessa muihin genreihin voitaisiin määrittää.

▼ Tarkastelen pro gradu -tutkielmassani englanninkielisen nuorisokirjallisuuden nykytilaa ja kehitystä. Tutkielmani tavoitteena on arvioida nuorisokirjallisuuden luokittelua omaksi kirjallisuudenlajikseen ja sen ongelmallisuutta. Nuorisokirjallisuutta käsitellään tänä päivänä omana genrenään niin markkinointi- kuin akateemisissakin yhteyksissä, ja koen tämän olevan ongelmallista ilman tarkempaa tutkimusta nuorisokirjallisuuden nykytilasta. Tutkimukseni kartoittaa genren määritelmän monipuolisuutta ja nostaa esille genren kirjallisen ja markkinointiin yhdistetyn merkityksen sekavuutta etenkin nuorisokirjallisuuden määrittelyn kontekstissa. Analyysini tueksi tutkin nuorisokirjallisuuden teemoja ja tekstuaalisia tekijöitä kolmen esimerkkiromaanin kautta. Estelle Maskamen Did I Mention I Love You? (2015), John Greenin Looking for Alaska (2005) ja Suzanne Collinsin The Hunger Games (2008) havainnollistavat tutkielmassani englanninkielisen nuorisokirjallisuuden tilaa 2000-luvulla, johon tutkimukseni keskittyy. Nuorisokirjallisuuden määritelmiin kuuluvat yleisimmin edellytykset nuoresta päähenkilöstä, joka toimii myös tarinan fokalisoijana, sekä ennakko-oletuksesta, että nuorisoromaanin lukija on itse samassa ikäluokassa tämän protagonistin kanssa. Näitä tekijöitä arvioin tutkielmassani narratiivisten vaikutusten tutkimisen avulla, pohtien miten eri tavoilla esimerkkiromaanini lähestyvät samoja teemoja. Pyrin myös osoittamaan miten samanlaista kertojaa, päähenkilöä minä-kertojana, hyödyntävät narratiivit kuitenkin tuottavat erilaisia narratiivisia tilanteita, ja tämän myötä lisäksi rakentavat erilaisia lukijakonstruktioita. Nuorisokirjallisuutta lähestytään tutkielmassani myös crossover-kirjallisuuden käsitteen kautta, jonka mukaan todelliset lukijat ylittävät heille kohdennetun kirjallisuudenalan rajoja. Tämän seurauksena nuorisokirjallisuus erityisesti nuorille suunnattuna kirjallisuutena on kyseenalaistettava, sillä nuorisoromaanien lukijakunta on tänä päivänä valtava ja heterogeeninen, kattaen lukijoita lapsista aikuisiin. Tutkielmani valossa käy ilmi, että nuorisokirjallisuuden määritteleminen perinteisten kirjallisten genren ominaispiirteiden perusteella on vajavainen tapa luokitella tämän päivän nuorisokirjallisuuden kenttää. 2000-luvun kontekstissa on otettava huomioon myös tekstin ulkoisia tekijöitä, kuten kirjallisuuden todelliset lukijat, markkinoinnin suuntaaminen eri ikäryhmille, ja nuorisokirjallisuuden alan jatkuva kehitys ja kasvu.

▼ James Scanlon The Great Clock Tower: Time and Narrative in the Late Works of W.B. Yeats This dissertation is a study of time and narrative in the late works of W.B. Yeats. I argue that, in the early twentieth century, the problem of time was made visible in new ways, as the nature of time, and even the reality of time, became the subject of debate among physicists and philosophers. The element of narrative is introduced by way of the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur. In his study of the ways in which narrative makes productive the aporia between physical and phenomenological time, Ricoeur looked at narrative structure in works by Thomas Mann, Virginia Woolf, and Marcel Proust. This dissertation is an attempt to apply the same approach, close analysis of narrative structures, to the late works of W.B. Yeats. Yeats?s work is suitable for this type of study because, as described in Chapter 1, he used one of his most ambitious texts, A Vision (1925 and 1937), to re-imagine the secret workings of time. I argue that Yeats was attempting to produce a unified theory that would apply to the small scale of the individual life and the larger scale of human history. As finally revealed, it would be the ?great clock tower?. In the remaining chapters, I trace some of the ways in which Yeats experimented with narrative form as part of his exploration of temporality. I have deliberately selected texts from different genres because I want to demonstrate the extent to which formal constraint and generic expectation permits or inhibits the evolution of narrative, particularly narrative that tries to depict non-linear time. Accordingly, Chapter 2 is largely concerned with autobiography, Chapter 3 with lyric, and Chapter 4 with stage drama. On the issue of chronology, the selection of texts allows the dissertation to follow its own winding path. Accordingly, Chapter 1 is concerned with texts that appear in 1925 and 1937 respectively. Chapter 2 then jumps back to 1921-1922, with the publication of The Trembling of the Veil. Chapter 3, which is concerned with the poetry of The Tower (1928) and The Winding Stair (1933) traces a path between the two Visions. Finally, Chapter 4 moves beyond the second version of A Vision, to the first production of Purgatory on 10 August 1938 at the Abbey Theatre. In each chapter, I try to bring Yeats?s narrative structures to light, and to demonstrate the extent to which it is possible to trace characteristic techniques and devices, such as, for example, the way in which narrative is reversed or the way in which two separate narratives, moving in opposite directions, might co-exist in a single text. The methodology that I follow is a simple form of structuralism, after the practical example of critics like Frank Kermode, with theoretical support from Jonathan Culler. This approach is joined to close reading, following the example of critics like Helen Vendler and Nicholas Grene. The combination of both approaches has helped me to see where Yeats?s model of time might be embedded at different levels of… Advisors/Committee Members: Morash, Christopher.

▼ Within the professions, writers are expected to express themselves in certain ways, often within genres that are bound by conventions, including linguistic register. The student entering a profession learns those genres as if they are mandatory and static, and conforming or failing to conform to conventions is believed to have ties to career consequences. However, new members of a profession come to it with other habitual language practices affected—according to previous research—by the writer’s gender. Rhetorical genre theory and disciplinary, professional, and technical communication theory do not offer a full account for the ways in which these old habits and new conventions must interact, and previous research in gender and language does not fully account for how gendered persons write when confronted with high-stakes convention- bound writing tasks. I used tools from statistics and natural language processing (NLP) to assess stylistic features that previous research has associated with gender differences in written language: I applied those tools to texts created by law students near the end of their first year of study in the genre of a court memorandum, and I found there was no pattern of difference between male and female writers in these texts. I propose a “cognitive pragmatic rhetorical” (CPR) theory, grounded in work of Straßheim (2010), who attempted to bridge the relevance philosophy of Alfred Schutz (Schutz, 1964, 1966, 1973) and the Relevance Theory of Sperber and Wilson (1995); I have extended Straßheim’s work with insights from rhetoric and cognitive science. CPR theory explains that these apprentice members of a professional community will expend great effort to conform to its conventions and genres because of the students’ goals and the practical effects that depend on conformity. Consequently, we expect them to abandon gendered linguistic habits, at least while they are engaged in early training. This dissertation demonstrates a methodologically rigorous gender-difference study; offers evidence for an “anti-essentialist” view of gender differences in communication; and gives insight into the process by which apprentice members of a profession may adjust their communicative processes in response to their training. It demonstrates the utility of CPR theory and NLP tools in scholarly inquiries in rhetoric and disciplinary, professional, and technical communication.

▼ In this dissertation I argue that faculty and scholars in rhetoric and composition could improve their pedagogy and scholarship by "reclaiming" the genre at the heart of composition curricula nationwide: the essay. Why do we need to "reclaim" it if it is already so central? Because the closer we examine the essay historically, in all its glorious suppleness and subjectivity, the less it resembles the essay that writing faculty and scholars teach, write, and valorize in academia today.In chapter one, "W(h)ither the Essay?", I contrast the essay with the article and suggest that the former genre is antithetical to and superior to the latter. I make the case that the essay enables writers to explore their thoughts and advance an argument simultaneously. I conclude the chapter by focusing on the development of a compelling essay by an undergraduate composition student.In chapter two, "Psychic Distance and a Call for Craft," I examine the reasons rhetoric and composition has neglected expressivism, and I argue that the discipline should focus more attention on issues of craft – particularly psychic distance, a concept that I contend offers a valuable way for writers to think about their prose essayistically.In chapter three, "Toward a Pedagogy of Psychic Distance," I articulate several strategies for teaching psychic distance to composition students.In chapter four, "Shushes and Whispers in the Parlor: Questioning the 'Conversation' Metaphor in Rhetoric and Composition," I make the case that the ubiquitous metaphor of writing as joining an ongoing conversation masks ulterior disciplinary motives that too often go unexamined.In chapter five, "The Importance of Autopsies: The Death of the General-Interest Magazine in Publishing and the Death of the Essay in Academia," I explore parallels between the two deaths and argue that we should mourn the losses of these bygone forms of literacy. Finally, I reflect on the future of the essay and speculate on the pedagogical promise of the multimedia essay.
