Laird (1923) . 214 viii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines one aspect of the representation of queer white masculinity in the Southern novel between 1936 and 1970, which I argue revolves around the disciplinary notion of honor. What I call "queer honor" refers to a specific genre of tragic literary narrative that mobilizes homophobic-homoerotic relations of proto-fascist power between Southern men in predominantly or exclusively white male homosocial spaces. The first line of inquiry in this project is historical -- how and why did historical ideas about honor come to impact the aesthetic development of representations of white masculinity in the Southern novel of this period? Southern historians have conventionally argued that by the mid twentieth-century, honor was no longer a prime animating force in Southern life, a fact that seems to be undermined by the intense, even obsessive investments in honor that the authors under consideration in this project display. The novels here by William Faulkner, Julien Green, and James Dickey are all both inward looking and backward looking, reflecting a pervasive and even solipsistic interest in white masculinity and white male homosociality. These impulses engage not only the inward-looking regional history of the American South, but also a ix deep history of queer iconography yoking same-sex desire to physical violence, dating back to the ancient world. I begin by asking why figurative descriptions and thematic examinations of honor emerged in the Southern literature of the 1930s, and why they paradoxically reveal queer relations of power and desire between white Southern men. I argue this pattern of queer relations take the form of particular type of authoritarian homophobic- homoeroticism. Honor, which in these novels is often exposed to be a performative veneer of itself, or merely a series of ritual motions, tends to turn men away from domestic responsibility, heterosexuality, and the law, even as it nominally reinforces commitments to these normative sociopolitical structures. It also instills in men a fear of other men, paranoia about being perceived as men, and the intensification of male masculinity into competitive hyper-masculinity. The second question is methodological. How ought one read and critique the literary representations of queer white masculinity in the Southern archive of this period? Theorizing queer Southern white male sexuality poses a specific problem, I argue, within the field of anti-relational queer theory. Although many scholars have formulated "shame" to be the crucible from which queerness emerges, Southern historians like W. J. Cash and writers like Faulkner take "honor" to be the motivating complex or sensibility around which all white Southern masculinity develops. My x project examines what happens when these two notions -- shame and honor -- converge on the site of the queer white Southern male body in the literature and history of the American South. The third question is about form, genre, and aesthetics. How does the obsession with honor produce a unique strain of narrative within the form of the novel, and within the genre of Southern Gothic literature? I argue that the phenomenon of queer honor reveals a violent, homophobic, even white supremacist genre that summons its thematic reserves of Gothic horror from the very gestures of authority, subjugation, and violence that have historically repressed queer, non-gender-conforming, and non-white American citizens. This tendency anticipates postwar traditions of gay male representation and iconography, as well as historically queer canons of literature and art. What binds this aesthetic tradition together across ancient and modern history are fascinations with hyper-masculinity, sadomasochism, and exclusively male homosocial domains, as well as an investment in the idea of queer male desire as an inherently warlike or martial phenomenon. The last question is about culture and politics. How might one use the concept of queer honor to study the homophobic-homoerotic relations of power in American political and cultural life more broadly? In the introduction and coda, I suggest that queer honor is a phenomenon that can be said to apply to any hyper-masculine xi domain of culture and politics where presumably heterosexual white men are interested exclusively in the company of other presumably heterosexual white men, and cite Tony Kushner's dramatization of Roy Cohn as the most exemplary representation of this cultural phenomenon in the period of American literature after which my project ends. In Chapter 1, I use W. J. Cash's The Mind of the South, and in particular his notion of the "favorite enemy," as a way to read the honor-bound relationship between the half-brothers Henry Sutpen and Charles Bon in William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! I argue that Cash's work of literary historiography and Faulkner's historical novel, which were both being written around the same time, disclose a vision of Southern masculinity that is marked by "paradox, irony, and guilt" — three cultural paradigms that Southern historians consider to be essential to an understanding of Southern history. I interpret the tempestuous affair and subsequent rivalry between Henry and Bon, which culminates in a fatal duel, as a paradigmatic example of the way in which fathers encouraged Southern boys from an early age to form competitive, aggressive impulses against other males, regardless of kinship or camaraderie. This leads inevitably to tragedy when Bon is killed in the duel and Henry is forced into exile, leaving the patriarch Thomas Sutpen with no male heir. xii In Chapter 2, I turn to the personal diaries of Julien Green, in particular Terre Lointaine, to recover his spiritual conception of queer honor and the intellectual and aesthetic context behind his largely forgotten 1950 Southern Gothic novel Moira.

  • CUNY Student Journalists Tracking Hate Incidents
    CUNY student journalists tracking hate incidents By: SHARON CROWLEY POSTED:DEC 27 2016 06:40PM EST UPDATED:DEC 27 2016 06:55PM EST NEW YORK (FOX 5 NEWS) - Since Election Day, the New York Police Department's Hate Crimes Task Force has seen an increase in the number of reported hate crimes, including one against one of their own officers of Muslim faith. CUNY Professor Jere Hester, the news director at the Graduate School of Journalism, says one way to keep attention on hate crimes is the newly founded Hate Index. He and other professors, students, and volunteers use the website to track reports of hate crimes around the country. It is a record of alleged crimes like anti-Semitic graffiti recently discovered on the campus on Nassau Community College and reports of verbal insults and other incidents of intolerance. The increase in reports of hate crimes has caught the attention of U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch. She recently spoke about it during a visit to Harvey Milk High School in Manhattan. The CUNY professors involved in working on the Hate Index also can tell who is looking at the website. They say it has hits from people all over the country. It has also caught the interest of members of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Justice Department Predictions! Experts Look Ahead to 2017 in New York Politics December 28, 2016 | by Ben Max As we usually do around this time of year, Gotham Gazette asked New York politicos to look into their crystal balls for predictions for the year ahead.

It was a happy moment for the old friends.

  • Understanding Criticism: an Institutional Ecology of Usamerican Literary Criticism
    Understanding Criticism: An Institutional Ecology of USAmerican Literary Criticism By Andrew Joseph Hines Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Vanderbilt University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in English August, 2015 Nashville, Tennessee Approved: Michael Kreyling, Ph.D. Houston A. Baker Jr., Ph.D. Dana D. Nelson, Ph.D. Jonathan Flatley, Ph.D. Copyright © 2015 by Andrew Hines All Rights Reserved ii For Keegan iii Acknowledgments Institutions and pedagogical actions play a pivotal, but often forgotten role in the development of literary criticism and theory. In some sense, the goal of this dissertation is to account for both the effects of and development of this gap in disciplinary history and in the process of doing literary criticism. Yet, if there is any genre of academic writing that is a consistent exception to this rule, it is the acknowledgments: a place where a critic tracks her encounters with institutional life and the unforgettable, invaluable actions of mentors, colleagues, and friends. Such entries are always woefully partial. Still acknowledgments remain the thing that many compose as they walk to and from campus. To imagine the ways we can give thanks to those who made the work possible is to imagine the completion of the work. Without this act of gratitude, the work could not be. I began this project as an undergraduate in the Department of English at the University of Pennsylvania. Herman Beavers introduced me to the Southern Agrarians and encouraged me to pursue how that group’s ideas impacted their literature and the literary criticism they would come to develop.

  • Allen Tate and a Grammar of Motives
    33 ‘Dramatistic to the Core’: Allen Tate and A Grammar of Motives M. Elizabeth Weiser Ohio State University During the 1930s, Kenneth Burke and Allen Tate were much alike: both saw themselves as critics and artists, both earned their living largely through freelance writing, and both were involved in political movements that condemned the values of monopoly capitalism. When Tate was on the faculty of Princeton in the early 1940s, the Tate family were frequent guests at the Burke family homestead in Andover. Their private correspondence reveals that the two men admired each other’s minds— Tate telling Burke early in the decade that he was “the most philosophical of my friends. You are, my dear Sir, a constant source of pleasure to my reflections” (4/9/1931, ATP), and Burke excelling himself in witty puns and wordplays to keep his friend interested.1 Perhaps it was the intensity of their long-distance friendship that caused Tate the poet to care enough about Burke’s philosophy to be among those most opposed to Burke’s shift from literary to cultural critic in the 1930s. It was surely Tate the critic’s continued argument with Burke’s ideas throughout the early 1940s that influenced Burke’s particular brand of cultural criticism—the rhetorical theory he termed dramatism. Without Burke’s ongoing, sometimes rancorous, but always engaged dialogue with Tate and other New Critics, the specific methodology of dramatism may have remained the looser philosophy of symbolic action. It is a historical irony, therefore, that Tate’s eventual support for A Grammar of Motives may well have contributed to the obliqueness of its hortatory message and the confused reception of its critics—a reception of which we still bear the legacy today.
