Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, University of Kassel (Anglistik/Amerikanistik Literaturwissenschaften), course: Introduction to Caribbean Literature, language: Englis…h, abstract: In 'One out of Many', written by V.S. Naipaul, Santosh emigrates from India to America and has to cope with the situation of being an illegal immigrant and finding a new identity. 'One out of Many' is one of three short stories of the novel In a free state, first published in 1971.The leading question that will be answered in the course of this paper is: How does Santosh's identity change when he emigrates from India to America In this paper, I will attempt to show that, isolated from American society, Santosh remains a marginalized outsider who is torn between two cultures and has lost his roots. In order to examine the question of Santosh's identity, I will look at the narrator's perspective and its reflection of Santosh's situation in the first step. Secondly, Santosh's process of change will be described and analyzed thoroughly by looking at key scenes. The goal of describing a process brings the necessity of comparing his new life in America to his former life in India. This way, the focus will be on the changes Santosh makes. Describing his development in America, I will consider the way Santosh sees himself in India and I will find out how he assimilates to American culture. After Santosh's personal development, I will continue with Santosh's place in society, because the relations to other people are crucial when it comes to identity. At this point, the relation to different sub-cultures will be taken into consideration.

The issue was published in August 1966, during the Vietnam War. Of course, you can read the comic from the perspective of young readers who desire to be entertained, but it is immensely interesting to look at the picture of American Soldiers which is conveyed by the comic, especially taking its effect on the readers into consideration.Thus, this paper focuses on the question: How is the American Soldier in the Vietnam War portrayed in the comic In the course of this paper I will attempt to point out why the American Society as readers should be influenced by the heroic portrayal of Captain Hunter and the positive representation of American involvement in the Vietnam War.In order to find out how the American Soldiers are portrayed in the comic, the comic will be analyzed. The analysis focuses on the principal character Captain Hunter, but I will also take a look at the portrayal of the Vietnam War and the Vietnamese, intending to have a general idea of the entire comic and the world of Captain Hunter.A comparison to another comic follows after the analysis. The `Nam is a different type of war comic, the portrayal of the Vietnam War is very close to the reality. The editor Larry Hama points out in the introduction, that the comic even received an award for being the 'best media portrayal of the Vietnam War'.Every medium tries to deliver a message, which is also valid for comic books. For this reason, I will have a closer look at the possible influences of the comic in the next step. Here, it is essential to look at the addressees of the comic and explain the effect on the target group.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Kassel (Anglistik/Amerikanistik Literaturwissenschaft), course: American Renaissance, language: English, abstract: Douglass's and Jacob's slave… narratives deal with the reconstruction of identity. The recreation of Frederick Douglass's own identity is seen as an 'argument for an end to slavery's denial of individuality and creativity'. This process of reconstructing identity is closely connected with the depiction of gender. Thus, the main focus of this term paper is placed on the formation of gender identity in the two slave narratives. The concept of gender can be defined as 'the relationship between biological sex and behavior'.The leading question of this paper is: How does the image of black femininity and black masculinity portrayed in the two slave narratives correspond with the concept of womanhood and manhood prevailing at the time In the course of this paper I will attempt to show that the two slave narratives serve as an example of individual self-fashioning, attempting to portray themselves as truly masculine or feminine and conforming to gender roles, at the same time reinventing these prevailing concepts. Society expects people to behave according to norms and values typical for a certain time. Thus, the first chapter gives an overview of gender stereotypes in the 19th century, which will subsequently be linked to the slave narratives.Creating a female identity as a slave suggests to include the category of sexuality, as female slaves often suffered from oppression and sexual abuse. However, this only offers a limited view and there are other significant dimensions connected to female identity. Therefore, Harriet Jacob's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl will also be analyzed in terms of motherhood and interdependence. The creation of male identity in Douglass's Narrative will then be analyzed comparatively by looking at his desire for freedom and how he copes with feminization and dehumanization of male slaves, his fight for independence, and his isolation in reference to his family and other slaves.

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Kassel (Anglistik/Amerikanistik Literaturwissenschaft), course: Visions of India, language: English, abstract: The guiding question of this pap…er is how Balram justifies his criminal acts and on which moral concept he bases his decisions. In the course of this paper, I will attempt to show that the protagonist is a gritty anti-hero who does not act in accordance to dharma and reinvents his own concept of morality. The first chapter will give a brief explanation of dharma, one of the four purushartas, a significant concept in Indian philosophy, especially in Hinduism when talking about morality. 'Dharma is inextricably linked with the ethos of India and the entire personal, social, ecological, and spiritual life is guided by it for ultimate liberation' (Mathew, 2015:131). In the following chapter, the criminal acts committed by the protagonist and the circumstances and reasons leading to it will be analyzed in terms of morality, taking the concept of dharma into consideration. This chapter underlies the difficulty of how to cope with the paradox issue of the protagonist being a murderer and a victim at the same time. Subsequently, the strategies employed by the protagonist to justify his immoral acts will be discussed in detail, attempting to find out how Balram distinguishes between right and wrong. Firstly, the depiction of other humans in the novel will be examined since the narrator strategically portrays them as being immoral and corrupt in order to comparatively put himself on a higher level. Secondly, his heroic self-image will be analyzed, considering his name 'the white tiger'. The third subchapter will focus on how the protagonist employs the metaphor of the rooster coop as a justification for the murder, taking the consequences of the murder into account and discussing Balram's ultimate aims.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Französisch - Literatur, Note: 1,0, Universität Kassel (Romanistik Literaturwissenschaft Französisch), Veranstaltung: Dramaturgien des Drinnen und Draußen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Samu…el Becketts Theaterstück Fin de Partie aus dem Jahr 1956 spielt in einem leerem Raum, ausgestattet mit einer Tür und zwei kleinen, hohen Fenstern, die die einzige Verbindung zur Außenwelt darstellen. Bei diesem handlungsarmen Einakter steht die Sprache zwar im Vordergrund, jedoch wird ihr Mitteilungsgehalt und Kommunikationsgrad selbst von Beckett bezweifelt: 'There is no communication because there are no vehicles of communication'.In diesem Zusammenhang stellt sich die Frage, wie die Dialoge zwischen den Figuren ablaufen und wie Beckett mit Sprache umgeht. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, müssen zunächst strukturelle Aspekte berücksichtigt werden. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wird die sprachliche Struktur untersucht, indem der Aufbau der Dialoge analysiert wird. Hierbei stellt sich die Frage, welche Aspekte zum oben erwähnten Misslingen der Kommunikation beitragen. Dabei werden sprachliche Elemente und Stilmittel herausgesucht, die die Dialoge zwischen den Figuren prägen und charakterisieren, wie zum Beispiel Wiederholungen, Frage-Antwort Spiele oder Störfaktoren. Außerdem soll der Bereich Sprachlogik thematisiert werden, da die vermeintlich logischen Schlussfolgerungen der Figuren nicht selten als paradox erscheinen.Im zweiten Teil wird anschließend auf die inhaltliche Bedeutung der Dialoge eingegangen, um herauszufinden inwiefern sie etwas mitteilen. Zunächst erscheinen die Inhalte absurd und sinnlos, ähnlich dem Leben der Figuren, die nur dahinvegetieren. Die Gespräche scheinen nur als Zeitvertreib der Figuren zu dienen, da Sprache fast das einzige ist was ihnen noch bleibt. Die folgende These soll genauer untersucht werden: Während die Kommunikation scheitert und nur zwanghaft aufrechterhalten wird, machen sich die Figuren über die Suche nach einer versteckten Bedeutung des Gesagten lustig.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Französisch - Literatur, Note: 1,0, Universität Kassel (Romanistik Literaturwissenschaft Französisch), Veranstaltung: Dramaturgien des Drinnen und Draußen, Sprache: Deutsch, Ab…stract: Samuel Becketts Theaterstück Fin de Partie aus dem Jahr 1956 spielt in einem leerem Raum, ausgestattet mit einer Tür und zwei kleinen, hohen Fenstern, die die einzige Verbindung zur Außenwelt darstellen. Bei diesem handlungsarmen Einakter steht die Sprache zwar im Vordergrund, jedoch wird ihr Mitteilungsgehalt und Kommunikationsgrad selbst von Beckett bezweifelt: 'There is no communication because there are no vehicles of communication'. In diesem Zusammenhang stellt sich die Frage, wie die Dialoge zwischen den Figuren ablaufen und wie Beckett mit Sprache umgeht. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, müssen zunächst strukturelle Aspekte berücksichtigt werden. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wird die sprachliche Struktur untersucht, indem der Aufbau der Dialoge analysiert wird. Hierbei stellt sich die Frage, welche Aspekte zum oben erwähnten Misslingen der Kommunikation beitragen. Dabei werden sprachliche Elemente und Stilmittel herausgesucht, die die Dialoge zwischen den Figuren prägen und charakterisieren, wie zum Beispiel Wiederholungen, Frage-Antwort Spiele oder Störfaktoren. Außerdem soll der Bereich Sprachlogik thematisiert werden, da die vermeintlich logischen Schlussfolgerungen der Figuren nicht selten als paradox erscheinen. Im zweiten Teil wird anschließend auf die inhaltliche Bedeutung der Dialoge eingegangen, um herauszufinden inwiefern sie etwas mitteilen. Zunächst erscheinen die Inhalte absurd und sinnlos, ähnlich dem Leben der Figuren, die nur dahinvegetieren. Die Gespräche scheinen nur als Zeitvertreib der Figuren zu dienen, da Sprache fast das einzige ist was ihnen noch bleibt. Die folgende These soll genauer untersucht werden: Während die Kommunikation scheitert und nur zwanghaft aufrechterhalten wird, machen sich die Figuren über die Suche nach einer versteckten Bedeutung des Gesagten lustig.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 24 pp. Deutsch.
