| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The focus of this study was on externalizing the process in which sexuality, the issues of literary genres and the economic systems are observed to be interrelated in Thomas Hardy’s novels. For this purpose, I treated his literary texts as a symbolic economy in which human forms, words and money are circulated. I read Jude the Obscure and Tess of the d’Urbervilles as the main texts to show human forms are inscribed with the modern ideologies. The results were the “textualized body,” subverted subjectivities and the incipient fissure in the realism style.
