Box 876403, Tempe, Arizona, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This essay presents a comparative racial and gender analysis of masculinity and power during the post- Depression United States in a reading of Younghill Kang’s novel, East Goes West: The Making of an Oriental Yankee.1 I argue that Kang’s novel, primarily read as an immigrant story yields insight into the multiple racial and class formations of Asian and black men in the U.S. within the context of sexuality, power, labor, and the economy. Kang’s novel shows how the dominant racial paradigm of black versus white in the U.S. depends on an Asian male subject who negotiates his racialized identity within a tripartite racial system of black, white, and Asian. This racial negotiation of Asian masculinity revolves around the figure of the early Asian foreign student who receives privileges Received March 31, 2009; accepted June 5, 2013; last revised July 28, 2013 Proofreaders: Kuei-feng Hu, Chih-wei Wu, Chia-Chi Tseng 1 The first edition of the novel was published in 1937 but for the purposes of this essay, I will be referencing the 1997 edition published by Kaya Press. 754 EURAMERICA and favors by white elites and intellectuals.

    Copertina Abstract

    ACKLAND Michael (James Cook University, QLD - Australia) [email protected] ‘On all fours passing, tintinnabulation’: Murray Bail’s Creative Case against the Imperial Word Throughout his long and acclaimed career, Murray Bail has interrogated the roots of Australian identity and dramatized the limitations of the nation’s common sense, empirical mind-set. This paper provides an overview of Bail’s project as it is expressed in his novels, as well as detailed illustration of the specifics of his case as refracted in his shorter fiction. Key texts for consideration include “The Partitions”, “Home Ownership”, “Camouflage”, “The Seduction of My Sister” and “A Rough Measurement of the Yard”. In essence, Bail focuses on the very Galilean/Cartesian “fracture” singled out in the conference description, and he repeatedly highlights the shortfalls of an instrumentalist, scientific approach to nature which seeks to know and dominate it through division, classification, concise definition and precise measurement. Instead he advocates imagination, audacious conceits and the free-play of words. Ultimately humanist and rationalist imperatives are reconciled in works which locate the potential for individual redemption not in abstruse systems or with much-vaunted reason, but in a wedding of the heart, intuition and the mind, which is best suited to overcome the constraining and putatively maiming hand of Western technological and theoretical knowledge. Bio Michael Ackland is the inaugural Colin and Margaret Roderick Professor of English at James Cook University, Townsville. He has published widely in the field of Australian Studies, and his writings cover the period from the First Settlement to the present day.

    {PDF EPUB} the Successor by Ismail Kadare the Successor by Ismail Kadare

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Successor by Ismail Kadare The Successor by Ismail Kadare. In The Successor Ismail Kadare mines his country's recent history and puts an infamous death into a crucible. In this way, Kadare captures the strangeness of what was Albania's perverse version of an elite community, those close enough to power to be direct psychological captives of its quixotic and ruthless ruler. The Guide, a literary stand in for Enver Hoxha, Albania's community dictator, is the captor here: his appearances and absences, his cryptic utterances, and most frightening, his silences, all fuel the vital obsession among his inner circle-interpreting favor or disfavor. This novel is a riff on the mysterious death of Hoxha's designated successor, Mehmet Shehu, a mystery that gripped Albania when he was found shot at his home in Tirana in 1981. Even belief that his death was suicide didn't indicate lack of suspicion, as many believed that it must have been forced in some way. In the novel, the death heightens the obsession with the dictator's thoughts, but Kadare flattens his characters by giving them no other occupation than Guide reading. Save a few brief pages about the Successor's daughter, whose engagement and wedding are seen as the provocation for the death, and a tantalizing flash of the length an artist will go to for the sake of art, there is scarcely any emotion other than fear. Even in the worst of times, people love and play and philosophize and dream. Kadare interprets the novel as shellac, freezing his characters in essentially one thought, one moment, one emotion.

  • Freedom and Chaos Contemporary Albanian Literature

    Freedom and Chaos Contemporary Albanian Literature

    FREEDOM AND CHAOS CONTEMPORARY ALBANIAN LITERATURE Robert Elsie Never in Albanian history have there been so many books on the market and never has so much Albanian literature, prose, poetry and other genres, been produced and published. Never has freedom of thought and creativity reigned throughout the Albanian world as it does today. And yet, it is often said that Albanian literature still finds itself in an age of profound crisis, of loss of identity and of disintegration. From the 1980s, when I first started to take an interest in Albanian literature, and up until the end of the 20th century, it was always possible to keep abreast of Albanian-language publications, to know what had been published, virtually every book, and to know what Albanian intellectuals thought of the works and authors in question. The Stalinist dictatorship imploded in 1991 and the Albanians, after forty-five years of total isolation from the rest of the world, as if they had been living on a different planet, found themselves robbed of any chance they might have had at keeping up with the rest of Europe. In material terms, they had been deprived of all but the barest essentials needed to stay alive. It is difficult for the foreign observer to appreciate what the people of Albania went through when the only world they knew, i.e. the awesome political system set up by the communist aristocracy, and the economy and social order which arose with it, collapsed and was initially replaced by... nothing. For writers and intellectuals it was a period of relief, of joy and of apprehension.
