Tytuł:: What Lurks Behind the Shell? Kafkaesque Surrealism Revisited by Jackie Kay

Opis:: This essay seeks to analyse Jackie Kay’s short story “Shell” (2002) with reference to a metamorphic tradition, in particular the modernist novella The Metamorphosis (1915) by Franz Kafka. Since both texts tackle the subject of the bodily transformation of a solitary character, albeit in two distinctly different manners, the paper will juxtapose them in order to investigate the writer’s reassessment of the monstrous body and the conflict it reveals about the social exclusion of otherness. It will also discuss Kay’s ingenious treatment of metamorphosis as a powerful source of self-invention.

Tytuł:: Animal Transformation in Early Modern English Witchcraft Pamphlets
Autorzy:: Rutkowski, Paweł
Powiązania:: https://bibliotekanauki.pl/articles/973947.pdf
Data publikacji:: 2019
Wydawca:: Uniwersytet Warszawski. Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego
Tematy:: animal metamorphosis,
witch-hunts,
early modern European culture, British literature
Opis:: Animal metamorphosis was a traditional component of witchcraft beliefs during the European early modern witch-hunts, during which it was taken for granted that witches could and did turn into animals regularly in order to easier do evil. It must be noted, however, that the witch-turned-animal motif was much less common in England, where witches did possess the shape-shifting abilities but relatively rarely used them. A likely reason for the difference, explored in the present paper, was the specifically English belief that most witches were accompanied and served by familiar spirits, petty demons that customarily assumed the shape of animals. It seems that the ubiquity of such demonic shape-shifters effectively satisfied the demand for magical transformations in the English witchcraft lore.
