Maugham’s “The Unconquered”}, volume={1}, url={https://periodicals.karazin.ua/accentsjournal/article/view/14777}, DOI={10.26565/2521-6481-2019-4-7}, abstractNote={<p>In the paper, the national and women’s contexts closely interrelated in W.&nbsp;S.&nbsp;Maugham’s “The Unconquered” short story (1943) are being examined. While analysing the ground of the conquest and resistance, it is concluded that war conquering and sexual violence are aimed to establish the men’s power over certain part of the world. In some ways, capturing a woman and occupying the land are considered equal things under the patriarchal rules. With this in mind, any male conqueror tries to reach both of them not only for the sake of victory, but also for approval his status of a worthy member of a men-ruling society (a nation). Next, the role of stereotypes as an engine of all negative phenomena of national and gender non-understanding, in particular, war and various kinds of inequality, is stressed. Tracing the complex relationship between, on the one hand, Frenchmen and Germans, and women and men, on the other hand, it should be token that the final infanticide is multivalued whereas it means the woman’s liberation and revenge for the men’s world, as well as is an apogee of national resistance.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={Accents and Paradoxes of Modern Philology}, author={Semeryn, Khrystyna}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={109–119} }
