Labor Musil impressed the academic community, and he shortly proposed to be habilitacao — analog of the award of the degree of doctor of science in Russia.

Jonathan CoE is a graduate of the prestigious Trinity College of Cambridge University, but his academic career is connected with Warwick University, where the writer in the mid-1980s, he taught English poetry and received the degree of doctor of philosophy for a thesis on the work of Henry Fielding. The work of the CoE is an attempt to understand the role of the narrator in the books of the founder of the genre of the English realistic novel, and to prove that the ambivalence of laughter in "the History of Tom Jones, a foundling" is achieved through the figure of the author-demiurge, with its perpetual readiness to assess the actions of the characters, while remaining above them. Speaking about the impact of Fielding on the next generation of writers, kou turns to the poetics of the works are not only evident in the case of Dickens, Beckett and Brecht, but also of Flaubert — an approach to literary studies is not the most traditional.

Stefan Zweig "The Philosophy Of Hippolyte Tan»
Twelve million five hundred sixty four thousand nine hundred sixty two

An important place in the philosophical system of Ten took the problem of the relation of art and objective reality: it is claimed that any work, no matter what genre or direction it may belong and whatever bizarre may assume, is not a figment of the imagination of the author, and the cast of the reality surrounding him. However, the interest Zweig to the shape of PETN can be explained not only by the fact that the latter developed the art and literary methodology: Ten, among other things, was a historian and wrote the monumental work "the Origin of modern France".

Mario Vargas Llosa “garcía márquez: the language and narrative structure”
Ninety eight million sixty five thousand one hundred sixty one

The fact that Vargas Llosa has defended the dissertation on the works of Garcia Marquez, it seems rather comical, considering the history of relations between two classics of Latin American magic realism.

Events unfolded rapidly: in the early 1970s, Vargas Llosa defended the same thesis, and in the middle of the punched garcía márquez savory slap in the front of journalists. It is still unclear, from-for what quarrel writers — whether because of the women, whether because of the fundamentally different views on the policy of Fidel Castro. To establish a relationship, they failed, but despite this, Vargas Llosa is still considered one of the most authoritative researchers of the works of Marquez.

The same test was the life of the dick who suffered from drug addiction and profound mental illness. Fellow writers considered him a chronic loser: the relatively modest earnings of the writer was absolutely not comparable with his talent and performance. Dissertation Robinson, published a book two years after the death of Philip K. dick in 1982, became, on the one hand, a kind of scientific epitaph, on the other — a harbinger struck the science fiction ambitious of posthumous fame.

"Derrida and the economy: the economy of decline»

Fifty million two hundred fifty eight thousand six hundred sixty

Nicholas Blincoe, the leader of the literary trends of the "new puritans", defended his thesis at the same University of Warwick, and Jonathan CoE, however, in the case Blinko much more difficult to grasp the connection between his research interests and literary work. In his work, the writer analyzes the essay of French philosopher-deconstructivist Jacques Derrida related the concept of "society" and "democracy," and argues that, for Derrida, the economy is a cunning tool with which the state government controls the people. It would seem that where Derrida with his postmodern tediousness, and Blinko with his adventurous, imbued with black humor novels about the British underground? However Blinko-writer — consciously or not — follows the principles of deconstruction: it not just depicts the world of drugs or gambling, and lays it on the components, reinterprets and builds into a modern historical context.

Thus, before 1917, a master's degree is actually consistent with modern Sciences. Protection Nikolay Chernyshevsky master's thesis was an important event in Russian cultural and social life. Analyzing fundamental aesthetic categories — the beautiful, sublime, comic, tragic, Chernyshevsky argued that art should interpret reality objectively, and not focus only on its bright side. Moreover, in this work, he derived the formula “the beautiful is life”, which formed the basis for a realistic worldview in literature.
