Liminalita v románu Brama Stokera Drákula a dekadentní prvky díla
MIFKOVÁ, Zuzana
This these first characterizes the decadent elements of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula in the context of late Victorian literature and generally tries to define the concept of liminality according to the approach of Arnold van Gennep (Rites of Passage) and Victor Turner (The Ritual Process). The core of the work is the interpretation of the category of liminality based on a literary analysis of Stoker's novel, including the identification of motifs and themes related to the term liminality, and the concept of the supernatural and the category of otherness (the uncanny) as defined by S. Freud in Das Unheimliche. The thesis focuses on the topic of crossing the border between the human sphere and the supernatural world and tries to interpret the concept of liminality in the context of the work of the late Victorian period.
