Η παρούσα διατριβή φιλοδοξεί να ερευνήσει τις θεωρητικές πτυχές της σχέσης ιστορίας και λογοτεχνίας μέσα από την λειτουργία και σημασία του Γοτθικού μυθιστορήματος στο μακρύ 19ο αιώνα καθώς και να αναλύσει τις στερεοτυπικές εικόνες της διαφορετικότητας της Νοτιοανατολικής Ευρώπης όπως κατασκευάστηκαν, αναπαράχθηκαν και κυκλοφόρησαν στη βρετανική δημοφιλή κουλτούρα κατά τον μακρύ 19ο αιώνα. Το κύριο μέρος της αποτελείται από την ανάλυση τεσσάρων δημοφιλών γοτθικών μυθιστορημάτων: The Vampyre: A Tale (1819) του John William Polidori, το Carmilla (1872) του Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, το Dracula (1897) και το Lady of the Shroud (1909) του Bram Stoker. Η διατριβή μελετά την απήχηση των μυθιστορημάτων αυτών ως φορέων διαμόρφωσης των αντιλήψεων σχετικά με την Βρετανική ταυτότητα, την αυτοκρατορία και την πολιτισμική της σημασία. Φωτίζει επίσης την ταυτότητα του βάρβαρου «άλλου», τις αντιλήψεις για το φύλο, ακόμα και τη γεωπολιτική της αυτοκρατορίας και τον πολιτιστικό ιμπεριαλισμό μέσω της διάδοσης στερεοτύπων. Τέλος, η παρούσα διατριβή επιχειρεί να τοποθετήσει τη Βρετανική ρητορική για την ετερότητα της Νοτιοανατολικής Ευρώπης σε ένα ευρύτερο πλαίσιο, εξετάζοντάς την και συγκρίνοντάς την με άλλους «κατώτερους» λαούς, βγαίνοντας έτσι από τα στενά πλαίσια του Οριενταλισμού και του Βαλκανισμού.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar a construção do sujeito vampiro, suas transformações e relações sociais, considerando um esquema genealógico a partir dos estudos de Michel Foucault. Portanto, voltamos o nosso olhar para um estudo literária específica do gênero. De um lado, delineamos como corpus três narrativas literárias: Drácula, de Bram Stoker; O vampiro, de J. Polidori e Carmilla, de S. Le Fanu. De outro, discutimos onze filmes: Nosferatu, de F. W. Murnau; Drácula, de Tod Browing; O filho do Drácula, de Robert Siodmak; O vampiro da noite, As noivas do Drácula e Drácula: o príncipe das trevas de Terence Fisher; Drácula de John Bodhan; Drácula, de Francis Ford Coppola; Entrevista com o vampiro, de Neil Jordan; Blade, de Sthephen Morrington; e Crépusculo, de Catherine Hardwicke). De maneira geral, investigaremos uma recorrência da posição ocupada pelo sujeito vampiro, evidenciamos modificações ocorridas em torno de sua imagem social e marcadas em seus corpos. Mais especificamente, primeiro, analisamos a posição do sujeito vampiro na literatura, tomando para tal estudo a literatura específica de vampiro aqui citada, focalizando o corpo. Depois, observamos as modificações ocorridas no corpo e na conduta do vampiro deslocadas da literatura para o cinema. E, finalmente, focalizamos as relações sociais dos sujeitos vampiros, voltando o nosso olhar para um jogo de poder/saber entre o vampiro e a mulher nas produções cinematográficas.

Formal Distinction

According to the anthropologist Mary Douglas, the quest for purity is usually accompanied by fears of change, ambiguity and transgression. Translating Douglas’ insights into historical terms, one may assume that sensibilities about what is pure and what is impure grow stronger during times of intense social and political change, as exemplifi ed by the stormy decades around 1900. This period was characterized by a profound identity-crisis and at the same time was marked by a quest for purity. One may think of a deepened concern for hygiene, of the rise of racist movements, but also of an intense longing for cultural reform and regeneration. Notwithstanding their many differences, these phenomena are linked through their concern for the formal distinction between what is pure and what is impure. A study of the work of Wagner, Bram Stoker and Zola gives some insight into the language of purity, serves to show the religious meaning of formal categories of purity and impurity, and makes it clear that the quest for purity in one area is related to the quest for purity in another area.
