  • Reading William Morris, Peter Kropotkin, Ursula K. Le Guin, and PM in the Light of Digital Socialism
    tripleC 18(1): 146-186, 2020 http://www.triple-c.at The Utopian Internet, Computing, Communication, and Concrete Utopias: Reading William Morris, Peter Kropotkin, Ursula K. Le Guin, and P.M. in the Light of Digital Socialism Christian Fuchs University of Westminster, London, [email protected], http://fuchs.uti.at Abstract: This paper asks: What can we learn from literary communist utopias for the creation and organisation of communicative and digital socialist society and a utopian Internet? To pro- vide an answer to this question, the article discusses aspects of technology and communica- tion in utopian-communist writings and reads these literary works in the light of questions con- cerning digital technologies and 21st-century communication. The selected authors have writ- ten some of the most influential literary communist utopias. The utopias presented by these authors are the focus of the reading presented in this paper: William Morris’s (1890/1993) News from Nowhere, Peter Kropotkin’s (1892/1995) The Conquest of Bread, Ursula K. Le Guin’s (1974/2002) The Dispossessed, and P.M.’s (1983/2011; 2009; 2012) bolo’bolo and Kartoffeln und Computer (Potatoes and Computers). These works are the focus of the reading presented in this paper and are read in respect to three themes: general communism, technol- ogy and production, communication and culture. The paper recommends features of concrete utopian-communist stories that can inspire contemporary political imagination and socialist consciousness. The themes explored include the role of post-scarcity, decentralised comput- erised planning, wealth and luxury for all, beauty, creativity, education, democracy, the public sphere, everyday life, transportation, dirt, robots, automation, and communist means of com- munication (such as the “ansible”) in digital communism.

  • Ezra Pound and the Rhetoric of Science, 1901–1922
    EZRA POUND AND THE RHETORIC OF SCIENCE, 1901–1922 Kimberly Kyle Howey University College London Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of doctor of philosophy in European Studies, University College London, January 2009. 1 I, Kimberly Kyle Howey, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis identifies science as Ezra Pound’s first extended extra-poetic interest. This reference to science in Pound’s poetic theory and poetry is portrayed as rhetoric, with its emphasis on the linguistic signifier or word rather than the actual concepts and data of science. The material covers over two decades between 1901, when Pound entered university, and 1922, after he left London. Beginning with Pound’s exposure to philology, the thesis establishes a correlation between his educational background and his use of scientific rhetoric in his prose. As he attempted to establish a professional status for the poet, he used metaphors linking literature to the natural sciences and comparisons between the poet and the scientist. Additionally, Pound attempted to organize poetic movements that resembled the professional scientific organizations that were beginning to form in America. In his writings promoting these movements, Pound developed a hygienic theory of poetry— itself an extensive rhetorical project—which produced a clean, bare poem and further linked Pound’s poetic output with the sciences. Beyond his rhetorical use of science, Pound attempted to study the sciences and even adopted a doctor persona for his friends with illnesses—both diagnosing and prescribing cures.

    J. M. Dent and Sons (London: 1909- ) J. M. Dent and Company (London: 1888-1909) ~ J. M. Dent and Sons has published an impres­ sive list of books by contemporary authors, but it made its mark on publishing history with its inex­ pensive series of classic literature. Everyman's Li­ brary in particular stands as a monument to the firm. It was not the first attempt at a cheap uni­ form edition of the "great books," but no similar series except Penguin Books has ever exceeded it in scope, and none without exception has ever matched the high production standards of the early Everyman volumes. Joseph Malaby Dent, born on 30 August 1849, was one of a dozen children of a Darling­ ton housepainter. He acquired his love of litera­ ture from the autodidact culture that flourished among Victorian artisans and shopkeepers. Dent attended a "Mutual Improvement Society" at a local chapel, where he undertook to write a paper on Samuel Johnson. Reading James Boswell's biography of Johnson, he was aston­ ished that the great men of the period-such as Edmund Burke, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Oliver Goldsmith-"should bow down before this old Juggernaut and allow him to walk over them, in­ sult them, blaze out at them and treat them as if they were his inferiors . At last it dawned on me that it was not the ponderous, clumsy, dirty old man that they worshipped, but the scholar­ ship for which he stood." Boswell's The Life of Sam­ uel Johnson, LL.D. ( 1791) taught Dent that "there JosephMa/,alry Dent (photographlry Frederick H.
