Fantasising the self: a study of Alasdair Gray's 'Lanark', '1982 Janine', 'Something Leather' and 'Poor Things'
No full textThis thesis explores the use of fantasy in Alasdair Gray's major fictions: Lanark
(1981), 1982 Janine (1984), Something Leather (1990) and Poor Things (1992).
The main purpose is to study the way Alasdair Gray borrows elements from
different forms of fantasy - magical realism, pornography, the Gothic and science
fiction - in order to explore and resolve the internal conflicts of his characters.
In the introduction current definitions of fantasy are surveyed. Also explored is
the concept of magical realism, as one of the objectives of the thesis is to
demonstrate that some of Gray's work, particularly Lanark, presents some of the
characteristics of this branch of Postmodernism.
The first chapter concerns Lanark. The juxtaposition of fantasy and
realism is explored in order to show the fragmentation of the self represented by
the figure of Thaw/Lanark. Also paradoxes and contradictions at the heart of this
work are investigated from the point of view of form and content. Of particular
importance is the conflict between the individual and society.
In the chapter dealing with 1982 Janine, the concept of deidealisation is
introduced to show how Jock deals with the figures in his past, Scotland and
himself Jock's personal conflicts and damaged psyche are explored through his
pornographic fantasies.
In chapter III Something Leather is compared to works by Sade,
particularly their use of sadomasochistic and homosexual fantasies as a form of
social subversion.
Chapter IV discusses Poor Things from the point of view of how characteristics
typical of the Gothic novel are parodied to explore gender issues such as the
construction of female identity by a male Other. Parallelisms between this novel
and Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children and John Fowles' A Maggot are also
explored.
In the conclusion the main concerns and obsessions of Gray's fiction are explored
through a discussion of his shorter fiction

Self-harm and the harm of others in adolescents
No full textMaintaining a simultaneous sense of oneself as a victim and perpetrator is not a straightforward task for the patient or for the professionals working with them. In this chapter, the author compares his work with an adolescent boy who repeatedly raped his sister and an adolescent girl who made a serious suicide attempt and who was seen as a vulnerable victim. In psychoanalytic terms, the word ‘perversion’ is used descriptively to refer to erotic activity that does not have as its aim genital sexuality. The author uses two clinical examples, Pietr and Zoe, as illustrations. Pietr’s psychotherapy was, in its early stages, characterized by material in which he was a victim of a situation in which he felt he had been misunderstood and unappreciated. Zoe’s suicide attempt, a major drug overdose, took place at the seaside town where her family owned a holiday home
