Affordable housing and low income households in Prince George
Get PDFAccording to the Prince George Official Community Plan, the residents of Prince George require satisfactory shelter that is "affordable at all income levels." This thesis explores three distinct aspects of this declaration. First, it establishes the political circumstances behind this statement, tracing the fiduciary responsibility from the federal government to the Province, and subsequently down to the municipality. Second, it assesses housing affordability using four hypothetical households to demonstrate which size of low-income household experiences the greatest challenge in securing suitable accommodations. In this analysis, average rent for rental accommodation is compared to the housing budget for low income households. The analysis identifies small, low income households as those that experience the greatest challenge in securing affordable housing. The third objective is to survey key informants for their insight into the issue. Representatives from market and non-market housing, municipal and provincial governments are interviewed for their insight into affordable housing conditions in Prince George. The thesis concludes that Prince George affordable housing policy should be based on consideration of the size of the low income family group, and that this should be factored into policy.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b119590
Book Review: Andrew R. Murphy, William Penn, A Life (New York: Oxford Universit Press, 2019)
Get PDFWilliam Penn (1644-1718) needs little introduction among Quakers. After his convincement in the mid-1660s Penn quickly rose through the Quaker ranks as a prolific author, capable debater, and a staunch advocate for religious freedom. Beginning in 1681, he became a colonizer and traveled widely to recruit emigrants to his colony. While Penn is often touted among Friends, and sometimes reviled for his slave-owning and colonialism, Andrew R. Murphy does a great service in producing a comprehensive biography of Penn that is free from both the ahistorical anxieties and accolades Quakers sometimes resort to when considering this controversial figure. Indeed, Murphy’s book, William Penn, A Life, shows how controversial Penn was among the Quakers of his own day and in British society in general
Namelessness in the Works of George R. R. Martin and Ursula Le Guin
No full textThe thesis explores the significance and implications of namelessness in fantasy literature on the example of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin and the Earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin. The literary use of namelessness serves to develop characters, examine power structures, and challenge traditional notions of identity and belonging. The author uses various theoretical perspectives, including those of Josef Campbell, Carl Jung, Michel Foucault, Gérard Genette, Jane Bliss, and Lao Tzu to analyze the phenomenon. By drawing on these diverse perspectives and applying different methods of analysis, the thesis highlights the interdisciplinary nature of the study, drawing from theories in history, mythology, psychology, philosophy, and literary criticism

"Medievalizing" power : a comparative study of Chrétien de Troyes' and George R. R. Martin's novel series
No full textS’inscrivant dans le cadre des études actuelles sur le médiévalisme, notre thèse de recherche tente de comprendre le fonctionnement et les enjeux du lien rattachant la thématique du pouvoir au cadre médiéval fictif, à travers l’analyse comparative de deux cycles romanesques relevant de deux genres littéraires différents et appartenant à deux époques historiquement éloignées. Le rapprochement des romans de chevalerie du XIIe siècle de Chrétien de Troyes de la gritty fantasy médiévaliste du XXIe siècle de George R. R. Martin permet en effet d’identifier une structure narrative et mythique assurant la pérennité du Moyen Âge et la réactualisation de la réflexion historique, philosophique et sociologique universelle sur les rapports de domination. Dans le cycle arthurien de Chrétien de Troyes et A Song of Ice and Fire de George R. R. Martin, « médiévaliser » le pouvoir revient à créer un imaginaire de la puissance dans un monde médiéval fictionnel, à la fois familier et autre. L’installation première se trouve dépassée par la subversion des structures de la domination correspondant au projet romanesque de chaque auteur. Cette dynamique révèle la prédominance d’un schéma narratif organisant les récits du pouvoir et transmis d’un auteur à l’autre, d’une époque à une autre. Les convergences et divergences caractérisant les romans de Chrétien de Troyes et George R. R. Martin mettent en lumière les caractéristiques structurales fondamentales et les enjeux génériques et thématologiques relayés par le mythe littéraire du pouvoir médiéval, au-delà des motifs romanesques que le médiévalisme moderne a hérité de la matière arthurienne née au Moyen Âge.As part of the current studies on medievalism, our thesis attempts to understand the functioning and issues of the link between the theme of power and the fictitious medieval framework through the comparative analysis of two novelistic cycles from two different literary genres and belonging to two historically distant eras. The comparison of Chrétien de Troyes’ 12th century’s chivalric romance and George RR Martin’s medievalist gritty fantasy of the 21st century makes it possible to identify a narrative and mythical structure that ensures the durability of the Middle Ages and the revival of universal historical, philosophical and sociological reflection on the relations of domination. In Chrétien de Troyes’ Arthurian cycle and George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, “medievalizing” power amounts to creating an imaginary of power in a fictional medieval world, that is both familiar and unfamiliar. The first installation is overtaken by the subversion of the structures of domination corresponding to the novelistic project of each author. This dynamic reveals the predominance of a narrative schema that organizes the narratives of power and that is transmitted from one author to another, from one era to another. The convergences and divergences characterizing the novels of Chrétien de Troyes and George RR Martin highlight the fundamental structural characteristics and the generic and thematological issues relayed by the literary myth of medieval power, beyond the romantic motifs that modern medievalism has inherited from Arthurian material born in the Middle Ages

Female Subjects Oppressions in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones
Get PDFFemale subjects' oppressions are a significant aspect of the novel entitled A Game of Thrones, published in 1996 by George R. R. Martin. This article aims to discover the discourse of female subjects' oppressions and the critical position of the author. The theory of representation by Stuart Hall and the discursive approach by Michel Foucault are used in this research. The contextual background and the narrations in the novel are collaborated in the analysis process to find the discourse of female subjects' oppressions and the critical position of the author. This research proves that this novel represents the oppression of female subjects in the form of marginalization, powerlessness, violence, and exploitation. Through the narration in the novel and some interviews, Martin, as the author, resists women's oppression
