Posthumanism and Transhumanism in Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon
The present paper focuses on Olaf Stapledon’s Last and First Men, which was defined in Northrop Frye’s terms as anatomy with allegorical status for which Stapledon is using an encyclopedic form. Applying the conceptual blending theory to Last and First Men results in it also being defined as an amalgamation of utopia and science fiction. As many scholars state, one of the most important contributions of SF to utopia is that the former enriched cl…
Ulysses through the Prism of Natural Sciences
This paper aims at analysing references to the natural sciences in Ulysses (1920), by James Joyce their function in the novel and the nature of physics in it. The study also focuses on the ways that Joyce could have been influenced by Einstein’s theory of relativity while writing Ulysses. Various approaches to the role of the sciences in Ulysses will be considered, and several episodes will be analysed through the prism of the theory of relativit…
Utopias and Dystopias in Last and First Men (1930) by William Olaf Stapledon
This paper aims at analyzing utopias and dystopias in Last and First Men (1930) by William Olaf Stapledon. Taking into consideration that this narrative was already defined as a scientific romance and an anatomy with allegorical status, as well as McCarthy's observation that Stapledon’s writing resists simple categorization and that its classification as science fiction or utopian literature is inadequate, this paper suggests several definitions …

Various research convincingly demonstrated positive influence of certain sports and physical exercises on brain and brain functions in general, and on cognitive functions in particular.

In particular, this paper focuses on the positive correlation between certain sports and language learning and it…
The rise of feminism in the works by Henry James
James' fiction crosses many of the artificially imposed borders and often deals explicitly with social changes and their consequences, for example, the emerging role and power of women in society. James was among the first American writers to introduce feministic issues into his works. This paper explores the theme of feminism in "The Turn of the Screw", "The Jolly Corner" and The Bostonians emphasizing that in the latter James raises the problem…

One of the most prominent man…
