  • 60 Literary Journalism Studies 61 by Any Other Name: the Case for Literary Journalism
    60 Literary Journalism Studies 61 By Any Other Name: The Case for Literary Journalism Josh Roiland University of Maine, United States Keynote Response: Literary journalism has experienced a resurgence in recent years, and like all popular movements it has sustained a backlash from those who believe it fetishizes narrative at the expense of research and reporting. New Yorker writer Nicholas Lemann’s IALJS-10 keynote talk returned the spotlight to the social function of journalism: to provide “a running account of the world.” He argues that for literary journalism to complete that task, it must privilege research and reporting over artistic expression. This response essay expands on Lemann’s talk by clarifying mis- conceptions about what the “literary” in literary journalism means, and demonstrates that the debates about what to call this genre—debates that have been rekindled in recent years with the ascendance of such vague-but- vogue terms “long form” and “long reads”—are not new. This narrative history explores both the misbegotten trail of the term “literary journalism” and its attendant field of study, but it also argues that the label long form represents a neoliberalization of language that positions readers not to con- sider or question, but only to consume. ut however vague and slippery a term, the New Journalism has become “Ba convenient label for recent developments in nonfiction writing and for the sharp critical controversy this writing has stirred up.” So wrote Ronald Weber in his 1974 preface to the book he had compiled and edited, The Re- porter as Artist: A Look at the New Journalism Controversy.1 Some four decades later, standing before a confederation of several dozen literary journalism scholars who had gathered from across the globe in Minneapolis, Nicholas Lemann wasted little time getting to the question that has bedeviled not only his audience of academics but also practitioners and, increasingly, casual read- ers: “What is literary journalism anyway?”2 Nearly every book-length work of Literary Journalism Studies Vol.

Swarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics'72 A//) 'f<3 "fa //9 ^ Is it winning or how you play the game that counts? “The Cultural Revolution has penetrated the last stronghold of the American myth— the locker room. Young athletes, having scaled new levels of consciousness, now challenge a long-standing article of faith— the belief that competition has intrinsic value. They enter sports in search of particular esthetic experience, essentially personal in nature. They no longer accept the authoritarian structure of sports, nor do they accept the supreme emphasis on winning.” —Bruce C. Ogilvie and Thomas A. Tutko, Psychology Today, October, 1971 No one uses the word “ revolution” to describe intercollegiate athletics at Swarthmore today. But everybody— coaches, athletes, interested faculty and administrators— agrees they are different. “Our locker room became revolutionary a long time ago,” says Professor Thomas Blackburn, familiar with Swarthmore athletics for some ten years. “What is most different 1 Swarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics ’72 today,” he says, “ is that you find few people who are 4 Today's Athletes Tell Why willing to sit out a couple of years on the second team.
