Otherness

This is another compelling book about seduction after Tourism and the Power of Otherness: Seductions of Difference (2014) from Di Giovine and Picard. Dynamics of relations between pilgrimage and seduction are scrutinized elaborately in the book. It is obvious that we owe too much to Arnold van Gennep (1960) and Turners (1978). However, it seems there is still something left to be explained properly. While Turners grasp pilgrimage within one overarching discourse, for instance, contemporary forms

OTHERS.” “The Others” refer to people that are labeled and identified to be outside of Western societal norms because of their differences to the aesthetic or political ideal. This series investigates our culture’s perception of “the other and otherness” and how prescribed labels determine society’s behavior toward a social group because of race, gender, sex, class, and religion.

nineteenth-century, people constantly feared otherness, which is the fear of being different, especially since the 1800s were an era in which society was very conservative. Bram Stoker harnessed that fear and exploited it, weaving it into his tale as a theme that his characters endured. Moreover, Count Dracula was a “deformed evil”, his face was characterized in colors that were inhuman; thus, Stoker uses Count Dracula to instill this fear of otherness within the readers, the fear of a “deformed

Otherness - the quality or fact of being different. Our universe, on the most fundamental scale, relies upon the interactions between particles of different natures - a heterogeneous construction. Diversity is the systematic trait of any mechanism comprised of elements of “other” to form harmonic impurity. The ability to not only adapt to, but use variety is a hallmark of a strong system. Otherness is a literary foundation much in the same manners. Contrasts between morals, concepts, and characters

Otherness is a state of isolating an individual because of the subversiveness they are considered to have within the society. The female and child otherness is a prominent issue in the novels, Jane Eyre (1847), and Wide Sargasso Sea (1966), though the stories were fashioned in different periods. There is a depiction of extensively different social, political and societal sceneries. Conversely, regardless of their variances, expositions of youthful, female otherness and aspects as regards selfhood

The world is created out of oppositions, divisions and separations between the one and the Other. When people collide or meet, in that sense, in the meeting between different cultural backgrounds they tend to define the others by defining themselves.

When one is considered an other, love is never felt and everyday is a fearful day. Otherness is when one cannot be included in his/her family and is treated as something other than a human being. “In the back part is the little mother. She is much small than me. I can see out the little window all I like” (Matheson 1). He sees another female that is smaller than him and calls

of View when it comes to “Otherness.” I made a lot of the same points in my assessment as well. The importance of point of view in relation to our perception of ours and others status. We all have a unique point of view but it is always our own. This forces us to perceive our stance and the importance of the issues to ourselves. American politics is a good example as we can change sides and positions every election cycle. This allows us individually to assess “The Otherness” of people in a current

Then, how racial otherness is interpreted in gothic works? By comparing and analyzing several gothic works, this paper will explore that question from the below perspectives. Racial otherness as the monopoly capitalism which may harm the orthodox In Dracula, racial otherness is described as a mysterious power which can

gender, because of race, because of mental ability, mistreated because of “otherness”. Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, describes the hard life of working on a ranch during the Great Depression.
