TL;DR: The authors explored the use of seventeenth-century settings in two novels by Rose Tremain to illuminate the special attraction of early modernity to writers interested in gender and sexuality, and examined how Tremain's two texts, like many other works of new British historical fiction, represent a particular past to outline new possibilities for gender and sexual in the future, thus augmenting the transfo...
Abstract: Contemporary British historical fiction has frequently explored questions of gender and sexuality. This focus is most prevalent in new British historical fiction, an emergent subgenre which can be distinguished from historiographic metafiction.

In addition, it examines how Tremain's two texts, like many other works of new British historical fiction, represent a particular past to outline new possibilities for gender and sexuality in the future, thus augmenting the transfo...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss postmodern and postmodernity in the context of day-and-day day and night activities and discuss post-modern and modernity in terms of the following: Calismada postmodern kimliklerin de kolektif aidiyetlerden ayri olarak olustugu ve esnek temellere dayandigi tespit edilmistir.
Abstract: Bu calismanin amaci postmodern donem tanimlamasi icerisinde kimliklerin yeni temeller uzerinden yapilanisini ele almak ve postmodern kimligin olusumunu incelemektir. Postmodern donemde insanlarin aidiyetlerini ve kimliklerini tanimlarken daha onceki donemlerden farkli olarak oldukca esnek ve kaygan temellere dayandiklari ileri surulebilir. Bu temeller uzerinden kendilerini her gun yeniden ve yeniden olusturmak durumunda bulunan insanlar birbirleriyle ve cevreleriyle her gun degisen iliskiler gelistirmektedirler. Bu temellerin nedenlerinin incelenmesi ve aciklanmaya calisilmasi, postmodern donemin ve bu donemde degisen iliskilerin anlasilmasina katki saglayacaktir. Calismada modernite, postmodernite ve kimlik uzerine yazilmis kaynaklardan yararlanilarak postmodern kimliklerin dayandigi temellerin neler oldugu ve postmodern kimliklerin nasil olustugu tanimlanmaya calisilmistir. Buna gore Postmodern insan kolektif aidiyetlerden uzak, yalniz insandir. Bu yeni insan bicimsizdir, akiskan, durumsal ve esnektir. Calismada postmodern kimliklerin de kolektif aidiyetlerden ayri olarak olustugu ve esnek temellere dayandigi tespit edilmistir.

TL;DR: White Christmas (1954) demonstrates the convergence of postwar sexual and racial anxieties, producing nostalgia for a verboten past represented by the homoerotic buddy film and blackface minstrelsy, entertainment forms that the film both reproduces and disavows as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The only classic holiday film to link the meaning of Christmas to national history, White Christmas (1954) demonstrates the convergence of postwar sexual and racial anxieties, producing nostalgia for a verboten past represented by the homoerotic buddy film and blackface minstrelsy, entertainment forms that the film both reproduces and disavows.
