Download File Arts of the Impossible: Violence, Trauma, and Erasure in the Global South Nicole Marie Gervasio 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 Nicole Marie Gervasio All rights reserved 2 ABSTRACT Arts of the Impossible: Violence, Trauma and Erasure in the Global South Nicole Marie Gervasio This dissertation examines how contemporary Anglophone, Hispanophone, and Francophone literature from Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and South Asia (1984-present) reconfigures historical archives to negotiate the ethics of representing state violence in repressive societies. I identify new literary forms politically conscious writers are devising to capture and contest human rights violations. Using an interdisciplinary decolonial feminist framework, I closely read works by Cristina Peri Rossi, Michael Ondaatje, M. NourbeSe Philip, Edwidge Danticat, Boubacar Boris Diop, and Roberto Bolaño— a diverse set of postcolonial and post-dictatorship writers never before compared in comparative literature. I call these writers’ endeavors to reframe traumatic history “arts of the impossible,” which defy the alleged unrepresentability of collective trauma to secure justice and forestall impunity. I compare representations of wide- ranging atrocities including forced disappearance, slavery, genocide, and femicide— crimes exemplifying what I term “ontological erasure.” At stake in ontological erasure are not simply lost perspectives from multiply marginalized victims, like women and queer people of color, but the very possibility of citizenship and the will to dissent state recognition enables. To resist the threats posed by the authorization of these crimes to political freedom, these writers, I argue, reinvent evidentiary forms historically suppressed by authoritarian states, including court transcripts, testimonies, forensic reports, and national archives. These authors’ innovations push the boundaries of what counts as “evidence” in acts of state violence that are uniquely determined by erasure; they also imagine new methods for remembering past atrocities without compromising recognition for stigmatized minorities in the future.

First to thank is my partner, Celia Turner, who has seen me through unexpected achievements as well as sundry anxieties and disappointments. Her faith in my intellect and unrelenting, loving support have reinforced my confidence throughout the last four years. Academically and professionally, I have benefited tremendously from the close attention of my dissertation committee in Columbia’s English and Comparative Literature Department. I am especially grateful to my sponsor, Marianne Hirsch. Her seminar on the novel and feminist theory in my first semester of graduate school evolved into seven years of assiduous mentorship and genuine intellectual regard. The transnational network of feminist scholars, activists and artists from Turkey, Chile, and the U.S. whom she introduced me to through Women Mobilizing Memory, a working group at Columbia’s Center for the Study of Social Difference, provided the groundwork for my dissertation; since 2014, my work has flourished in light of their cross- cultural feedback. In particular, graduate seminars I took with two group members—Judith Butler’s “Violence and Ethics” at Columbia and Diana Taylor’s “Embodiment and Performance” at New York University— contributed indelibly to the interdisciplinary, theoretical underpinnings of this project. My second reader, Brent Hayes Edwards, has also contributed invaluably to my thinking on comparative approaches to decoloniality; I am immensely grateful for

Dr. Marta Caminero-Santangelo, Chairperson Dr. Doreen Fowler Dr. Stephanie Fitzgerald Dr. Giselle Anatol Dr. Ann Schofield Date Accepted April 18, 2011 ii The Dissertation Committee for Sandra Cox certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ETHICAL ENGAGEMENT: CRITICAL STRATEGIES FOR APPROACHING AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC FICTION Committee: Dr. Marta Caminero-Santangelo, Chairperson Dr. Doreen Fowler Dr. Stephanie Fitzgerald Dr. Giselle Anatol Dr. Ann Schofield Date Accepted April 18, 2011 iii Dissertation Abstract: Critics of American literature need ways to ethically interpret ethnic difference, particularly in analyses of texts that memorialize collective experiences wherein that difference is a justification for large-scale atrocity. By examining fictionalized autoethnographies—narratives wherein the author writes to represent his or her own ethnic group as a collective identity in crisis—this dissertation interrogates audiences‘ responses and authors‘ impetus for reading and producing novels that testify to experiences of cultural trauma. The first chapter synthesizes some critical strategies specific to autoethnographic fiction; the final three chapters posit a series of textual applications of those strategies. Each textual application demonstrates that outsider readers and critics can treat testimonial literatures with respect and compassion while still analyzing them critically. In the second chapter, an explication of the representations of African American women‘s experiences with the cultural trauma of slavery is brought to bear upon analyses of Toni Morrison‘s A Mercy (2009) and Alice Walker‘s Now Is the Time to Open Your Heart (2003).

    H-Diplo Article Review 20 18 Article Review Editors: Thomas Maddux and Diane Labrosse H-Diplo Web and Production Editor: George Fujii @HDiplo Article Review No. 790 5 September 2018 Alfonso Salgado. “Communism and Human Rights in Pinochet’s Chile: The 1977 Hunger Strike against Forced Disappearance.” Cold War History 18:2 (2018): 169-186. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/14682745.2017.1404988. URL: http://tiny.cc/AR790 Review by Paul R. Katz, Columbia University lfonso Salgado’s new Cold War History article opens onto a dramatic scene. It was the morning of 14 June 1977, and 24 women and two men had just made their way into the headquarters of the United Nations’ Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA) in Santiago, Chile. They were members Aof the Agrupaci oń de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidos (AFDD, or Association of Relatives of the Detained-Disappeared) linked to the Chilean Communist Party (PCCH), and collectively, they had lost 34 relatives to forced disappearance since General Augusto Pinochet’s seizure of power in September 1973. Once inside the building, the group unfurled a banner reading “For Life, For Peace, For Liberty—We Will Find Them!” and announced that they would neither leave nor eat until the government had accounted for their loved ones (169). While their relatives’ status would not ultimately be clarified, the hunger strike which unfolded over the next ten days would nonetheless place disappearance squarely on the international agenda and would turn the strikers into “an emblem of the struggle for human rights and democracy in Chile” (170). In analyzing this formative moment, Salgado sets himself an ambitious task: to prove that “pro-Soviet, Old Left activists” made major though “grossly under-appreciated” contributions to the development of the Chilean human rights movement (172).

  • Triangulation in Social Research: Qualitative and Quantitative Methods Can Really Be Mixed
    Triangulation in Social Research: Qualitative and Quantitative Methods Can Really Be Mixed FINAL VERSION. Forthcoming as a chapter in Developments in Sociology, 2004, ed. M. Holborn, Ormskirk: Causeway Press. By Wendy Olsen Abstract For those who teach methodology within social science departments, notably sociology, the mixing of quantitative and qualitative methods presents an ongoing problem. Recent developments in the philosophy of science have argued that the two traditions should not have a separate-but-equal status, and should instead interact. By reviewing three positions about this issue ('empiricist', constructionist, and realist) the chapter offers a review of the sociological approach now known as triangulation. The chapter refers to several empirical examples that illustrate the realist position and its strengths. The conclusion of the chapter is a more abstract review of the debate over pluralism in methodology. Triangulation, I argue, is not aimed merely at validation but at deepening and widening one's understanding. As a research aim, this one can be achieved either by a person or by a research team or group. Triangulation and pluralism both tend to support interdisciplinary research rather than a strongly bounded discipline of sociology. (For a copy of this book, you may contact Causeway Press on 01695 576048, email [email protected], ISBN 1902796829.) 1 Biographical Note Wendy Olsen Wendy Olsen grew up in Indiana and moved at age 18 to Beloit College in Wisconsin, where she studied economics and politics in a liberal arts degree. She moved to Britain in 1981 to study at Oxford University, where she received a masters and doctoral degree in economics.
