While the English-language cultural response to the Troubles in Northern Ireland is well studied, French representations of the conflict have so far gone unobserved. This thesis aims to address this critical omission by examining examples of the most numerous and commercially successful of such responses while the conflict was ongoing: the Troubles thriller. Thrillers on Irish matters are part of

This thesis offers the first full-length examination of the relationship between childhood and Decadent writing, analysing this intersection across multiple textual formats: poems, novels, autobiographies, children’s fairy tales, plays, and periodicals. Where existing scholarship has positioned Decadence as a movement preoccupied with adult interests, this thesis demonstrates that the figure of th

This thesis investigates the capacity of sound to measure and give voice to two contrasting terrestrial environments: the marshy bogs of the Northern Irish peatlands and the dune seas of the Rub’ al-Khali (Empty Quarter) desert in the United Arab Emirates. Drawing upon the situational knowledges of practice research, I conduct an enquiry into two sonic phenomena specific to these two environments:

This thesis examines forms of dissent in the work of James Simmons and Padraic Fiacc. It situates the two poets as important figures in the Northern Irish poetry scene of the 1960s and 1970s, and considers how their work deviates aesthetically from that of some of their better-known poetic contemporaries. I trace the lines of influence between Simmons, Fiacc, and peers such as Seamus Heaney, Derek

This is a practice-based study of indirect literary translation (ITr) between Arabic and Korean. It consists of two parts: A practical and a critical component. The practical component is an Arabic language ITr, titled <i>بياض </i><i>[Biadh]</i>, of Han Kang’s <i>흰</i> [Hin] (Whiteness) (2015), through Deborah Smith’s (2017) English translation, <i>The White Book</i>.

This thesis demonstrates how horror, as evoked in literature and films representing the Troubles, offers a productive analytical lens for challenging atavistic representations of historical violence and enhancing comprehension of horrific history. While the Troubles are often described using horrific language and imagery, no academic study has yet analysed how literature and film employ horror aes

This thesis examines the representation of the working class in the theatre and novels of the Troubles (1969-1998), assessing the extent to which narratives of the conflict have colluded in presenting the Troubles as a problem internal to Northern Ireland’s working class. The literature of this period is dominated by working-class communities, characters and issues, and the cumulative effect has b

The Caribbean is often portrayed as a tropical paradise with sandy white beaches, turquoise sea, and lush flora. Yet the archipelago is also an area especially prone to floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, and has been profoundly imprinted by the catastrophic effects of colonialism.

The bulk of the thesis is a detailed analysis of the science fiction translation field in China between 1891 and 1949, conducted by exploring positions relevant to publication media, written languages and translation norms. This thesis argues that the development of the field consists of two phases. In the first phase (1891 to 1915), through the promotion of key agents (Timothy Richard and The Com

My thesis explores fiction’s response to the question of how the contemporary internet is reshaping subjectivity. Through case studies on Joshua Cohen’s Book of Numbers (2015), Nicola Barker’s H(A)PPY (2017), David Foster Wallace’s The Pale King (2011), and Neal Stephenson’s Fall; or, Dodge in Hell (2019), my thesis identifies the extent to which fiction can encourage contestation of a particular

This thesis outlines a range of theoretical approaches to objects – thing theory, new materialism, Heidegger, Latour’s actor‑network theory to name a few – that have shaped discussions of objects and materiality. Yet what emerges across the chapters is that the Northern Irish poets examined here do not neatly conform to these frameworks. Instead, their work tests the usefulness of such theories, p

This thesis explores the aesthetic and political nuances of Irish modernity as they manifest in fin-de-siècle Ulster literature, examining how a set of diverse, yet interconnected, writers developed individual and innovative contributions to the Irish historical imagination through their treatments of time, history, and modernity. It will address the critical neglect of Ulster literature in Irish

This thesis examines how and why the imperial languages of French and English are recast in World Literature, by comparatively assessing how postcolonial authors from French and British ex-colonies, non-metropoles, and the metropolitan margins have re-appropriated the languages that they were once oppressed in and through. Exploring the perception and employment of these once colonial languages in

This thesis investigates Gu Hongming’s English translation of three Confucian classics Lunyu (1898), Zhongyong (1906) and Daxue (1915). Rather than regarding Gu’s work as extreme domestication, this study reinterprets it as a hybrid translation by considering his ambiguous view of culture in a specific historical context. The focus is on how Gu translated China to the Anglophone world in the late

Historically, Ireland has been perceived as being a homophobic, illiberal, socially conservative country. This perception has now changed. Ireland is now commonly regarded as being a modern, European, secular and (arguably) queer-friendly nation. The equal marriage referendum in 2015 highlighted the extent to which traditional heteronormative institutions have been queered, in that they have been

<p><strong>The poetic oeuvre of German-language Bukovinian Jewish poet Paul Celan (1920-1970), defined by its haunting confrontation with the Shoah, has received extensive, sustained scholarly attention, being widely recognised as a cornerstone of post–World War II German-language literature. Nevertheless, his impressive corpus of literary translations spanning over forty poets and multiple langua

<p><strong>In recent years, Mansfield’s child characters have become a blossoming field of research. However, existing scholarship tends to use Mansfield’s stories of childhood as an avenue through which to examine broader themes. Scholars rarely examine how Mansfield constructed her depictions of childhood. Further, the essential relationship between childhood and siblinghood in Mansfield’s work

<p><strong>This dissertation investigates an emergent wave of litterateur-filmmakers in contemporary Chinese cinema, who adapted their own fiction or poetry into films. Representative figures include Hu Bo胡波 (1988-2017), Bi Gan毕赣 (1989-), Cheng Er 程耳 (1976-), and Xu Haofeng 徐浩峰 (1973-). Critically acclaimed both for their literary and film works, these litterateur-filmmakers combine their strength
