  3. 2. The Abject Female Body : The Male Gaze on Woman and Nature in Daphne du Maurier's "The Apple Tree" and "The Blue Lenses"

    Författare :Josephine Pantzar; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Daphne du Maurier; The Apple Tree ; The Blue Lenses ; abject; male gaze;

    Sammanfattning : This study examines the portrayal of the woman as monstrous in Daphne du Maurier’s short stories “The Apple Tree” and “The Blue Lenses” and investigates the abject emotions that female bodies induce within the main characters. The study also contrasts the habitual, objectifying gaze of the male focalizer with the reluctant gaze forced upon the female focalizer through a pair of lenses, argued here to represent the patriarchal suppression of woman, as the male gaze is key for mediating the abject in du Maurier’s stories.

    Sammanfattning : Previous research finds roleplaying games, as well as the wider spectrum of geek culture that they exist within, to be defined by discourses favoring a white, heterosexual, cis-male viewpoint, drawing up and reproducing stereotypes and tropes that are inherently misogynist, homophobic, and racist. Heretofore, research into discourses of gender, sexuality, and race in roleplaying games has focused overwhelmingly on market leader Dungeons & Dragons (1971- ongoing), largely neglecting to scrutinize other well-established titles that may adhere to or break from the same tendencies.

    Författare :Beatriz Carlsson; [2021]
    Nyckelord :gothic; magical realism; intermediality; Carmen Maria Machado; supernatural; strange;
