Abstract

This paper analyzes the impacts of othering on human-ghoul hybrids in Tokyo Ghoul and the coping mechanisms they develop to deal with the impacts. The topic was chosen because the text’s plot is directly driven by the impacts of othering. The applied concepts are taken from Said’s “othering”, Bhabha’s mimicry, hybridity & ambivalence, and Glissant’s rhizomatic identity. The main impacts of othering are alienation and aggression. Alienation forces hybrids into a normless state, in which they are powerless. They become more aggressive to resist threats posed by humans and ghouls. The main coping mechanism developed by the hybrids is to build identities that mimic the pure parties. In conclusion, the hybrids experience othering. Therefore, they are alienated and are forced to become aggressive to resist the othering. The aforementioned factors impact the hybrids negatively. Thus, they cope by mimicking the norms of the “self” to develop rhizomatic identities.

Abstract

Emily Dickinson's poem Hope is the Thing with Feathers depicts hope as a powerful presence within the human soul that endures under any circumstances. However, the poem's natural symbolism can also be used to portray hope as a spiritual energy inherent in the human spirit. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the poem's transcendental significance by looking at how natural elements serve as a medium for connecting human experience to spiritual values. This analysis draws on Buell’s conception of transcendentalist aesthetics to interpret Emily’s use of nature as a spiritual medium, employing Lawrence Buell’s Literary Transcendentalism: Style and Vision in the American Renaissance (1973) as its primary theoretical framework. In addition, the interpretation uses Christian symbolic tradition as an intertextual reference to highlight the spiritual resonance of the poem's imagery, without addressing biblical texts as sources of religious doctrine. The findings show that Emily uses nature as a type of spiritual reflection to mediate the link between humans and the divine. As a result, the bird in the poem serves as more than just a sign of hope; it can also be regarded as symbolically resonating with depictions of the Holy Spirit, who sustains hope within the human soul.
