الملخص

This modest research paper deals with cultural differences and immigrant encounter as it ispropounded in Henry James’s novel The Portrait of a Lady (1881) and within JaneCampion’s movie The Portrait of a Lady 1996. As a theoretical framework, it relies on HomiBhabha postmodern theory as it is developed in The Location of Culture (2004). Culturaldifference is the first theoretical concept which is deployed in order to demonstrate thecultural obstacles James’s American characters encounter in the European context. Theforeignness of the languages is the second concept used in order to explain how the foreignlanguage elicits the immigrants (James’s characters) racist fantasies. Benedict Anderson’stheory Imagined Communities (1991) is also referred to since it represents an authentictheoretical background that clarifies my perspective. His concept which is named culturalroots is reliable to explain how James’s American characters meet the so called classicalEuropean languages. This dissertation also exposes Campion’s attitudes through heradaptation of The Portrait of a Lady 1996. The latter deals with the revelation of past worldsatrocities via the female character. It also consists of a psychoanalytic examination of thebehaviors of the characters as it is interpreted by Freud and as it is reconsidered byFeminists attitudes. The two perspectives are approached under the umbrella of thetheoretical framework of Josephine Donovan The Feminist Theory (1992). Leaning onCultural Feminism and Freudianism, those sections have revealed the traditionalconservative kinship system that has kept women under subjugation. It is also a starting pointfor interpreting and exposing Campion’s Reflecsive Nostalgia. Relying on Donovan’s TheNew Feminist Moral Vision, this work has critically exposed her moral visions that tend toelicit the elite as well as the ordinary spectator’s mind to sympathize with past worlds inorder to construct a harmonious modern world.
