    Three Generations of Women - A Three-Generation Woman
    (2013-05-21T11:33:53Z) Agócs, Andrea; Séllei, Nóra; DE--TEK--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    Three generations of women – or rather a three-generation woman? One might rightly ask the question after seeing Stephen Daldry’s The Hours, based on Michael Cunningham’s novel with the same title. The basic structure of the film is that we have three women from different ages of the 20th century. The first one is from the beginning of the century, writing a novel; the second one is from the 1950s reading this novel; and the third one is from the present days re-living and at the same time re-shaping the plot of the novel. However, the plot is much more complex than that, there are similarities which pull the three lines of the story together.

    What Shall We Do with Our Soldiers?
    (2013-01-24T12:55:00Z) Agócs, Andrea; Séllei, Nóra; DE--TEK--Bölcsészettudományi Kar
    Shell shock caused the crisis of masculine identity from several perspectives. Rebecca West‘s The Return of the Soldier and Sarah Waters‘s The Little Stranger are both rich in representing these forms of alienation. I will read the identity in crisis as a result of several factors (besides the traumatic experience of war, of course), including socio-cultural and family background. In addition to examining the causes of the alienated subjectivity, I will interpret the answers given to the(se) trauma(s), relying on Freudian and Lacanian discourses. Also, I will put the main characters‘ (hi)story into the contexts of memory and nostalgia studies, as well as studies of Englishness.
