The Vampire in Context. From 1898 to 2012
Author: Alena Eikens
Publisher: diplom.de
ISBN: 3960676638
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 22
Book Description
Vampires have been part of peoples’ folklore since the pre-history. Although they had meant different things and had different traits depending on the cultures, they appeared over and over again throughout various tales. In the beginning, the vampire used to be depicted as a bloodsucking, murdering monster, while more recently he became desirable, a heartthrob for which not only his fictive love interests fall, but also millions of readers who make vampire stories so popular in our time. Despite these radical changes, literary vampire stories have in common that most of them reflect on the social circumstances during their time of origin. The vampire is particularly suitable for the exemplification of sexuality. This term paper deals with the statement that the changes in sexuality and gender account for the changes in vampire stories. Chapter 1 will look at vampires in folklore to show the legitimacy of the vampire/sexuality connection, since these have been linked very early on. Chapters 2 and 3 give an overview over sexuality and gender in the Victorian age – the time in which the literary vampire first became popular – and how these topics are perceived today. Chapters 4 and 5 will explain how the circumstances are reflected in Victorian vampire literature and modern literature respectively.

Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Fantastic fiction is traditionally understood as Western genre literature such as fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Expanding on this understanding, these essays explore how the fantastic has been used in Western societies since the Middle Ages as a tool for organizing and materializing abstractions in order to make sense of the present social order. Disciplines represented here include literature studies, gender studies, biology, ethnology, archeology, history, religion, game studies, cultural sociology, and film studies. Individual essays cover topics such as the fantastic creatures of medieval chronicle, mummy medicine in eighteenth-century Sweden, how fears of disease filtered through the universal and adaptable vampire, the gender aspects of goddess worship in the secular West, ecocentrism in fantasy fiction, how videogames are dealing with the remediation of heritage, and more.

Kinderculture
Author: Shirley R. Steinberg
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429974728
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
America is a corporatized society defined by a culture of consumerism, and the youth market is one of the groups that corporations target most. By marketing directly to children, through television, movies, radio, video games, toys, books, and fast food, advertisers have produced a 'kinderculture'. In this eye-opening book, editor Shirley R. Steinberg reveals the profound impact that our purchasing-obsessed culture has on our children and argues that the experience of childhood has been reshaped into something that is prefabricated. Analyzing the pervasive influence of these corporate productions, top experts in the fields of education, sociology, communications, and cultural studies contribute incisive essays that students, parents, educators, and general readers will find insightful and entertaining. Including seven new chapters, this third edition is thoroughly updated with examinations of the icons that shape the values and consciousness of today's children, including Twilight, True Blood, and vampires, hip hop, Hannah Montana, Disney, and others.
