Ettensohn, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2014. This project evaluates the twinned discourses of globalism and humanitarianism through an analysis of the body in the postcolonial novel. In offering celebratory accounts of the promises of globalization, recent movements in critical theory have privileged the cosmopolitan, transnational, and global over the postcolonial. Recognizing the potential pitfalls of globalism, these theorists have often turned to transnational fiction as supplying a corrective dose of humanitarian sentiment that guards a global affective community against the potential exploitations and excesses of neoliberalism. While authors such as Amitav Ghosh, Nuruddin Farah, and Rohinton Mistry have been read in a transnational, cosmopolitan framework––which they have often courted and constructed––I argue that their theorizations of the body contain a critical, postcolonial rejoinder to the liberal humanist tradition that they seek to critique from within.

  • Language and Monstrosity in the Literary Fantastic
    ‘Impossible Tales’: Language and Monstrosity in the Literary Fantastic Irene Bulla Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Irene Bulla All rights reserved ABSTRACT ‘Impossible Tales’: Language and Monstrosity in the Literary Fantastic Irene Bulla This dissertation analyzes the ways in which monstrosity is articulated in fantastic literature, a genre or mode that is inherently devoted to the challenge of representing the unrepresentable. Through the readings of a number of nineteenth-century texts and the analysis of the fiction of two twentieth-century writers (H. P. Lovecraft and Tommaso Landolfi), I show how the intersection of the monstrous theme with the fantastic literary mode forces us to consider how a third term, that of language, intervenes in many guises in the negotiation of the relationship between humanity and monstrosity. I argue that fantastic texts engage with monstrosity as a linguistic problem, using it to explore the limits of discourse and constructing through it a specific language for the indescribable. The monster is framed as a bizarre, uninterpretable sign, whose disruptive presence in the text hints towards a critique of overconfident rational constructions of ‘reality’ and the self. The dissertation is divided into three main sections. The first reconstructs the critical debate surrounding fantastic literature – a decades-long effort of definition modeling the same tension staged by the literary fantastic; the second offers a focused reading of three short stories from the second half of the nineteenth century (“What Was It?,” 1859, by Fitz-James O’Brien, the second version of “Le Horla,” 1887, by Guy de Maupassant, and “The Damned Thing,” 1893, by Ambrose Bierce) in light of the organizing principle of apophasis; the last section investigates the notion of monstrous language in the fiction of H.

  • 99 Essential African Books: the Geoff Wisner Interview
    99 ESSENTIAL AFRICAN BOOKS: THE GEOFF WISNER INTERVIEW Interview by Scott Esposito Tags: African literature, interviews Discussed in this interview: • A Basket of Leaves: 99 Books that Capture the Spirit of Africa, Geoff Wisner. Jacana Media. $25.95. 292 pp. Although it is certain to one day be outmoded by Africa’s ever-changing national boundaries, for now Geoff Wisner’s book A Basket of Leaves offers a guide to literature from every country in the African continent. Wisner reviews 99 books total, covering the biggest homegrown authors (Achebe, Coetzee, Ngugi), some notable foreigners (Kapuscinski, Chatwin, Bowles), and a host of lesser-knowns. The books were selected from hundreds of works of African literature that Wisner has read: how to whittle hundreds down to just 99 books to represent an entire continent? Wisner says reading widely was key, as was developing a “bullshit detector” for the “false” and “fraudulent” in African lit by living there and working with the legal defense of political prisoners in South Africa and Nambia. Full of sharp opinions and oft-overlooked gems, A Basket of Leaves offers a compelling overview of a continent and its literature—an overview one that Wisner is eager to supplement and discuss in person. —Scott Esposito Scott Esposito: To start, how did you conceive and develop A Basket of Leaves? Geoff Wisner: The idea developed rather slowly. For several years I was raising money for political prisoners in South Africa and Namibia. I edited a newsletter on Southern Africa and started to read authors like Nadine Gordimer and J.M.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Research The
    G a b r i e l l a | 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Research The idea of gender inequality has always been a big issue of human rights. In the nineteenth-century, women lived in different spheres or circumstances that separate them from men. And in fact, there were only a few women who are able to get good education or to pursue their career. However, at the beginning of the nineteenth-century women have begun to fight for their rights until now. In today’s society, we are able to see women getting their rights to vote, or to pursue their career, but in fact gender equality has not achieved yet. In September 2014, United Nation Women Goodwill Ambassador, Emma Watson made her speech about gender equality, she said “No country in the world can yet say that they achieved gender equality” (Watson). The idea of gender equality is to give women their full potential in every aspect of life, being equal without any gender boundaries. However, Emma Watson speech has captured the issue of women’s struggle, not only from Emma, the writer also found the women’s struggle is interpreted by different perspective, Michelle Obama in her speech during her visit in Argentina said “As I got older, I found that men would whistle at me as I walked down the street, as G a b r i e l l a | 2 if my body were their property, as if I were an object to be commented on instead of a full human being with thoughts and feelings of my own” (Obama).
