A synthetic method for a wide range of amidated azobenzenes is developed from the selective rhodium-catalyzed C-H amidation reaction of symmetrical as well as unsymmetrical azobenzenes with alkyl-, aryl-, and heteroaryl-substituted dioxazolones under mild conditions. Diamidation of azobenzenes and amidation of monoamidated azobenzenes were also demonstrated.

This article traces the socio-cultural effect of neoliberalism on working-class youths by analysing Mike Leigh’s cinematic portrayal of boredom in Thatcher’s Britain, Meantime. As a state of disenchantment that stems from a sense of inadequacy, boredom in his films afflicts unemployed young people living in London, whose everyday life is pervaded by the sense of being excluded by the dominant national narrative of free-market capitalism. In various locations, boredom emerges in the daily experie

This article examines how the everyday space of postwar London in Sam Selvon’s The Lonely Londoners is reimagined by Caribbean migrants, whose resilience generates comedy and the spirit of the carnival. I argue that Selvon uses his depictions of the city to show his Black Londoners at play as culturally assertive and sexually eccentric types who counter the adversity in the host society. While discussing how the novel’s portrayal of the carnivalesque allows for the expression of immigrant agency

본 연구는 W. G. 제발트 (W. G. Sebald)의 『토성의 고리』가 일상의 삶을 폭력의 역사의 비공식적 아카이브로 재현하는 방식을 관찰함으로써 기존의 관습적 역사서술의 틀을 벗어나고자 하는 작가의 문학적 시도를 고찰한다. 정처 없이 잉글랜드의 한 시골길을 방황하는 소설의 주인공은 친숙한 삶 속 사물들의 표면으로부터 식민-자본주의적 근대성 속에 가려진 소외된 역사의 이야기들을 읽어낸다. 이 논문은 화자의 물리적/언어적 산만함과 끊임없이 이어지는 공상이 유럽 문명의 선택적 역사서술을 비판하는 미적 형식으로서 역할 한다고 주장한다. 만약 서구의 근대성이 언제나 불편한 과거를 망각하며 스스로를 정의 내려 왔다면 제발트는 무자비하게 전진하는 현대의 시간성이 지나가고 난 뒤 남겨진 잔재들에 주목함으로써 공적 역사에 내재된 결함을 극적으로 폭로한다. 잊힌 과거의 조각들을 다시금 이야기하려는 그의 노력은 일상의 삶에 대한 느리고 자세한 읽기로서 표현되는데 이러한 행위는 동시에 약탈적이고 억

This article analyzes Toni Morrison''s Paradise through Lacanian psychoanalytic lens to examine how the marginalized experience of a female community introduces an alternative vision to the totalitarian law in Ruby, an isolated all-black town. Despite its initial attempt to recreate an African American Utopia, Ruby is marked by its ultimate failure to move beyond racism since its ideal of paradise is actually built on the exclusion of different skin colors and gender identities. Meanwhile, it is

This study applies topic modeling to Virginia Woolf’s diaries from 1915 to 1941 to analyze key themes and keywords. By clustering major topics, the research aims to structurally illuminate Woolf’s personal interests and inner world while also exploring the intertextual relationship between her diaries and novels through shared themes. Focusing on the significance of nature and war as central themes in Woolf’s life and works after 1910, this study examines the formation of her social and politica

This study employs sentiment analysis, a digital humanities methodology, to visualize the emotional trajectories within James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922) and Park Taewon’s A Day in the Life of Kubo, the Novelist (1934). It analyzes how Ireland and Chosun are configured in the two modern colonial cities of Dublin and Kyungseong. Initially, using the Syuzhet R package, emotional curves evolving with the progression of the narrative in both novels were extracted. By conducting comprehensive quantitative

The meaning of racialized tropes and types in Poe’s texts has long remained a central object of debate among scholars. To fully account for the overdetermined nature of the author’s racial outlook, this paper takes into consideration the complexity of his positioning as an anti-patriotic Southern writer—one who carries a set of cultural prejudices yet simultaneously opposes a simplified and rigid definition of identity. Taking cues from Gerard Kennedy’s reading of Poe in terms of American (anti-

Zadie Smith’s 2005 novel On Beauty has been generally regarded as a satire of the academic world. Some critics argue that in On Beauty, most male intellectuals fail to achieve its cosmopolitan ideal since the presumed normative hierarchy within the intellectual mind excludes those outside of the main discourse. While partly accepting this argument, this study focuses on the women’s formation of cosmopolitan identities represented in the novel. In this paper, it is argued that Smith’s female char

Abstract: This article examines the theatrical representation of race and its political implications in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ An Octoroon (2014), a modern reworking of Dion Boucicault’s play The Octoroon (1859). It offers a critical analysis of An Octoroon that compels readers to recognize that race, although a product of historical construction, holds significant real-world implications. The discussion of the play begins with its prologue, the importance of which has not been addressed suffic

This study analyzes Virginia Woolf’s 1915 novel The Voyage Out by adopting a corpus-based stylistic methodology. Woolf scholars have not reached a consensus on how to distinguish the novel in terms of literary genre an adventure or a female domestic novel tradition, and recently this text has increasingly been defined as a failed bildungsroman due to its slow narrative development and the tragic plot in which the female protagonist dies without achieving self-fulfillment. This study intends to i

피에르 부르디외의 후기 저서에서는 공적 지식인의 역할이 주요하게 다루어지며, 많은 경우 지식인은 사회적 특권을 누리지만 동시에 정치·경제적 권력의 영향에는 취약한 역설적 집단으로 묘사된다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 논문은 1992년 출판된 부르디외의 『예술의 규칙』을 근대 지식인의 탄생에 대한 비판적 성찰로서 해석한다. 이 저서에서 부르디외는 19세기 프랑스 모더니즘 문학의 사회학적 측면을 탐구하며, 소설가 구스타브 플로베르를 매개로 삼아 지식인의 장에서 비평가가 자신의 사회적 지위를 어떻게 객관화할 수 있는지를 논의한다. 부르디외는 자신을 스스로 초월적인 관찰자로 위치시키는 플로베르의 기만적인 행위를 비판함으로써 낭만화되고 우상화된 지식인 상을 해체함과 동시에 플로베르라는 예술가의 절대적 자율성이라는 신화를 허문다. 하지만 본 논문은 부르디외의 연구에서 종종 자신의 명시적인 주장과 모순을 일으키는 방식으로 나타나는 역동적이고 미묘한 자율성 개념에 또한 주목한다. 본고는 플로베르와 에밀졸

This paper aims to investigate the representations of space in J. M. Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians and explore how the novel politicizes and criticizes these spatial images as a form of imperial epistemology. As Benedict Anderson famously notes, in human history, the practice of mapping has devoted itself to the creation of racial/sexual knowledge, legitimizing one’s dominance over the other. Like museums and censuses, maps have worked as the key instrument for classifying a group of peop
