Abstract

British literature, especially poetry has experienced different phases and showed the unique faces from the early periods to what called modernity era. The multi-facetted poetry is inflected by the dynamic atmospheres faced by Britain as results of the responses of poetic artists to the ups and downs of British history, especially the industrial changes and the brutality of World War I and II. Poets responded the political, social and cultural waves with their own unique styles and moods. The traumatic Wars and their casualties were not the sole themes during the war or post war era poetry, some poets reacted the issues of their own ways. This paper will discuss the reaction of some British poets to the wars. The discussion sections will be parted into the general responses, and also the analysis of two post war poets namely Adrian Henry and James Berry to represent their era of 1960 and 1980. This study reveals some findings that the poets experienced WWI and WWII responded the wars in such dramatic and gloomy ways as they are closely affected by the effects of 1915-1945 wars. Adrian Henry lived in the era post-modern, 1960s, the effect should have recovered. His poetic style speaks itself. James Berry, a Black immigrant poet, voices his root, past experiences and hope for a new life. Despite the style and theme, they all flourish British poetry with their own uniqueness.Keywords: British poetry, postwar, postmodern, Adrian Henri, James Berry

Abstract

This paper aims at analyzing the theories of Psychoanalysis, Marx’s Commodity and Bourdieu’s Distinction. This content analysis utilizes the text of Freud, Lacan, Marx and Bourdieu. Freud and Lacan flourish the theoretical worlds under the term of psychoanalysis. Each shows the different aspects of identifying human consciousness and unconsciousness. Freud, a neurosis, roots his theory of ego, id and superego from his dealing with his patients using dream works as his point of analytical which highlights the oral, anal and phallic stage of mental development of human beings. This study finds out that Lacan deconstructs Freud theory using linguistic aspect which theorizes the metaphor and metonymy use of an individual to the unconsciousness. Marx focuses on commodity exchange and fights of classes in social economy perspective which is more material perspective. Bourdieu with his term “distinction” views that an individual taste is shaped by educational, social and family background. Freud and Lacan focus more on psychology stream. On contrast, Marx and Bourdieu analyze the sociological appearance. After all, society is a group of individuals with heterogeneous backgrounds tied up by an ideological concept. In the long run, an individual identifies himself from the group that he should follow or leave.
