NARRATING NATIONHOOD: CONSTRUCTED IDENTITIES IN ANDREA LEVY’S SMALL ISLAND

Author(s): Valeria Polopoli / Language(s): Issue: 21/2015

The aim of this paper is to examine how the British author of Jamaican origin Andrea Levy deconstructs racially exclusivist configurations of Britishness in her novel “Small Island” (2004). Looking back at the Windrush era and the Second World War, with the benefit of temporal distance, she reconceptualises the British nation as a plural and inclusive site of multicultural convergence, thus exposing the constructedness of cultural and national identities.

BLUE-BLOODED OR WHITE-COLLARED? THE GRADUAL DEMOCRATIZATION OF THE CONCEPT OF GENTLEMANLINESS IN SELECTED EXAMPLES OF VICTORIAN FICTION

Author(s): Marlena Marciniak / Language(s): Issue: 21/2015

Gentlemanliness may be regarded as a significant hallmark of Victorian culture and a key term in contemporary definitions of masculinity. One of the reasons why manliness came to be so closely associated with gentlemanliness is the substantial reconceptualisation of the latter notion in the nineteenth century: from an appellation designating, by and large, noble birth to a universal moral quality attainable by men, regardless of their family origin or material status. The gradual evolution of Victorian views on gentlemanliness can be traced in Victorian fiction, which actively participated in public debates on the meaning of the concept.

NON-CONFOMIST HISTORY OR NON-HISTORIC CONFORMISM? RODDY DOYLE’S THE LAST ROUNDUP TRILOGY

Author(s): Péter Dolmányos / Language(s): Issue: 21/2015

Roddy Doyle’s trilogy entitled The Last Roundup is the writer’s tentative experiment with historical fiction. Doyle does not follow the pattern of traditional historical novels but does not conform to the concept of historiographic metafiction either. His ingenious approach to the story of Henry Smart reconsiders notions of historical fiction and prompts questions regarding linearity, chronology, the selection of the narrated events and their duration in the respective novels of the trilogy.

Author(s): Mirela Lăpugean / Language(s): Issue: 21/2015

The paper deals with the problematic relationship between trauma and representation by making use of such concepts as negative (re)presentation, void, absence and oblique representation.

ACTING OUT GENDER: PERFORMATIVITY AND BECOMING LORD HENRY WOTTON IN OSCAR WILDE’S THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY

Author(s): Burak Irmak / Language(s): Issue: 21/2015

The paper examines performativity in the Nineteenth Century Victorian Novel, especially the resistance to dictated male performativity and its results, illustrated in novels by male authors such as Oscar Wilde, in his “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and its character Lord Henry Wotton. Trapped by the male roles dictated by society, Lord Henry finds relief in talking to other people about his desires. In a platonic teacher-student relationship, he leads Dorian into his desires and finds escape from his stereotypical gender through him.

TOURIST INNS ON ROMANIA’S MODERN TOURISM MARKET

Author(s): Diana Roua Micu (Tăuţan),Monica Maria Coroş,Cornelia Pop / Language(s): Issue: 3/2015

The present paper investigates a less debated topic of the accommodation sector: the presence of tourist inns on the Romanian market. More than 20 years ago, authorities decided to exclude tourist inns from the official classification system. Relying on both official data, collected and processed based on the List of Accommodation Facilities (Lodgings and Food-service units) elaborated by the National Authority for Tourism, and on the information available on specialized websites (e.g. Booking.com) a thorough analysis has been performed in order to identify all structures that function on the local market pretending to be inns. The identified structures have been categorized and discussed according to various criteria: name of the hospitality unit, name of the enterprise that owns/runs the inn, type of unit, level of classification, lodging capacity; localization. The undertaken research and analyses led to the identification of 288 accommodation and/or food-service structures matching one or more criteria that link them to inns. One of the main findings establishes that in Romania’s modern tourism industry there is a fully justified need to grant a special attention to inns. Further investigations have already been initiated in this field, continuing the current study.
