THE FATE OF THE NEW WOMAN IN BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA
-
Mara Ruža Blažević This thesis analyses the ways in which the New Woman Movement of the 1890s is reflected in Bram Stoker’s construction of his female characters in Dracula. It shows that the image of the New Woman is modified and redefined through already existing female tropes which include the Angel in the House, the Fallen Woman and the femme fatale. Thus, it is argued, two versions of the New Woman emerge: an acceptable, “proper”, New Woman who is an educated and competent worker, but also a...

THE ISSUE OF LIBERATION IN AFROFUTURISM
-
Andrea Jović In this thesis, the liberatory potential of Afrofuturism will be analyzed on the example of two Afrofuturist novels. It will be argued that a truly liberating future cannot be accomplished by merely altering representations, which is one of Afrofuturism‘s main aims, but by developing utopian visions of the future where violences of capitalism and heteronormativity have been overcome. The paper will argue that Nalo Hopkinson‘s novel Midnight Robber does not present a more liberated...

THE SEA IN VIRGINIA WOOLF
-
Kristina Šimić Fluidity and sea imagery prevail in the works of Virginia Woolf, mostly in her novel The Waves.

The title of the thesis is therefore figurative since the...

THE THEME OF MATURATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN JAMES JOYCE'S A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN
-
Marta Glavaš The aim of this paper is to explore the theme of the maturation and development of the
character of Stephen Dedalus in James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I
claim that his mental maturation as a person is related to his development as a character, as
well as his artistic maturation, and I suggest that his development and the changes he
experiences through the work are an attempt to become independent and free from father
figures such as the Church, the priest and his...
