(Re)Introducing Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson
Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (English and Linguistics), course: Reading/Writing London, language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the genesis of one of the most iconic friendships and juxtaposes the literary birth of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson with their televisual re-birth. Furthermore, it is primarily concerned with the evolving friendship between the well-known inhabitants of 221B Baker Street and the question of whether or not it might be regarded as “symbiotic”. In addition to an analysis of the homosexual innuendos that occur in A Study in Pink, there will be a brief section on the city of London, which is often perceived as a third protagonist. Due to the finite length of this paper, other aspects concerning the crime case, literary adaptation theory/filming politics, the visual aesthetics of A Study in Pink and the question of (post)modernity have either only briefly been touched on or been omitted altogether.
TRIO: Three Sherlock Holmes Mysteries That Introduce Us to Cultural Studies
Author: Arthur Asa Berger
language: en
Publisher: Deep Science Publishing
Release Date: 2024-12-03
TRIO reprints three Sherlock Holmes novellas I wrote, Freud is Fixated, Marx Est Mort and My Name is Sherlock Holmes, which provide a novel (literally and figuratively) introduction to cultural studies. This book is meant to do two things: be entertaining and also teach my readers something about psychoanalytic theory, Marxist theory, and the interdisciplinary field known as cultural studies. Books such as TRIO are sometimes described as “Infotainments,” combining both information and entertainment. Each chapter is introduced by quotations of interest and I also provide bibliographies and at the end of the book, a glossary. In this book, as he tries to solve each crime, Sherlock Holmes interrogates some of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century. Which means this book is full of ideas about all kinds of things. In some cases, the dialogue comes from the writings of the thinkers Holmes is questioning. I’ve had to sacrifice my narrative line to pump as much ideational content into the stories as possible, so these novels are didactic in nature, but they are still works of fiction but of an unusual kind. I have taken some minor liberties with the punctuation and repeat myself at times in different places in different books. Teaching cultural studies by using Sherlock Holmes mysteries is an unusual way to instruct students and readers. I hope, after reading this book, you will think it was worth your effort, and mine.
When the Song of the Angels Is Stilled
It is Spring, 1874, and twenty-year-old Sherlock Holmes is a lonely, mopey, friendless Oxford student. He attends classes and spends countless solitary hours conducting chemical experiments, reading, and playing his violin. Suddenly, his life changes because of a serendipitous moment on campus. While walking on the grounds of the university and practicing fencing moves with his foil, he encounters Victor Trevor and his sweetheart, Poppy Stamford, younger sister of the man who will one day introduce Sherlock to Dr. John Watson. Having just attended the final rowing contest of Eights Week, Victor and Poppy are also walking with her bull terrier. When the dog decides he doesn't like the looks of Sherlock, he sinks his teeth into Sherlock's ankle. This dog bite incident becomes a life-changing event for all of them. Through his new friendship with Victor Trevor and encouraged by Victor's father to use his genius for detective work, Sherlock discovers his uncanny abilities and a constellation of unfamiliar emotions as he and Poppy are thrust not only into a dangerous investigation into England's notorious baby-farming industry but into the perilous realm of young romance. Be an eyewitness to the emergence of how Sherlock became the man and the legend we know today….
