The Function of the fantastic in the works of Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson
Özyurt Kılıç, Mine; İçöz, Nursel; Department of English Literature (2005)
This study sets out from the premise that the fantastic, in the hands of the women writers with feminist awareness,can be used as a tool to subvert patriarchal gender roles that are culturally constructed. The dissertation aims at analysing the fantastic novels by Angela Carter, The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman and Nights at the Circus, and by Jeannette Winterson, The Passion and The.PowerBook as examples in which the transgression of gender roles is achieved through the use of fantastic image...
THE ROLE OF TRANSCULTURAL MEMORY IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN CARYL PHILLIPS’S FICTION
KIRPIKLI, DENİZ; Öztabak Avcı, Elif; Department of English Literature (2021-7-1)
Caryl Phillips’s engagement with the past, particularly the history of the black diaspora in Britain, is a significant aspect of his literary production.

The problem of otherness in in the heart of the country by J.M. Coetzee, night lessons by Latife Tekin and Lighthsousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson
Bulut, Bilge; Yıldız Bağçe, Hülya; Department of English Literature (2019)
Deploying some specific Kristevan theories such as the semiotic and the symbolic bases of language, melancholia, abjection and being a stranger, this thesis argues that J.M.Coetzee in In the Heart of the Country, Latife Tekin in Night Lessons and Jeanette Winterson in Lighthousekeeping bring a new perspective to the problem of otherness by eradicating the binary opposition between self and other, which renders their political stance very forceful. In the Heart of the Country demonstrates that the other is w...
