George, PhD, Professor Attilio Favorini, PhD, Professor Bruce McConachie, PhD, Professor Susan Z. Andrade, PhD, Associate Professor Dissertation Advisor: Kathleen E. George, PhD, Professor ii Copyright © by Insoo Lee 2012 iii READING AND WRITING AS TRANSFORMATIVE ACTION IN MARIA IRENE FORNES’ AND ADRIENNE KENNEDY’S PLAYS Insoo Lee, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2012 This dissertation examines Maria Irene Fornes’ and Adrienne Kennedy’s plays, focusing on the female characters’ act of reading and writing on stage. Usually, reading and writing on stage are considered to be passive and static, but in the two playwrights’ works, they are used as an effective plot device that moves the drama forward and as willful efforts by the female characters to develop their sense of identities. Furthermore, in contrast to the usual perception of reading and writing as intellectual processes, Fornes and Kennedy depict these acts as intensely physical and sensual. Julia Kristeva’s and Hélène Cixous’ poststructuralist psychoanalytic theories of language and female sexuality, and Gloria Anzaldúa’s theory of writing the body are the major theoretical framework within which I explore the two playwrights’ works.

  • Woman As a Category / New Woman Hybridity
    WiN: The EAAS Women’s Network Journal Issue 1 (2018) The Affective Aesthetics of Transnational Feminism Silvia Schultermandl, Katharina Gerund, and Anja Mrak ABSTRACT: This review essay offers a consideration of affect and aesthetics in transnational feminism writing. We first discuss the general marginalization of aesthetics in selected canonical texts of transnational feminist theory, seen mostly as the exclusion of texts that do not adhere to the established tenets of academic writing, as well as the lack of interest in the closer examination of the features of transnational feminist aesthetic and its political dimensions. In proposing a more comprehensive alternative, we draw on the current “re-turn towards aesthetics” and especially on Rita Felski’s work in this context. This approach works against a “hermeneutics of suspicion” in literary analyses and re-directs scholarly attention from the hidden messages and political contexts of a literary work to its aesthetic qualities and distinctly literary properties. While proponents of these movements are not necessarily interested in the political potential of their theories, scholars in transnational feminism like Samantha Pinto have shown the congruency of aesthetic and political interests in the study of literary texts. Extending Felski’s and Pinto’s respective projects into an approach to literary aesthetics more oriented toward transnational feminism on the one hand and less exclusively interested in formalist experimentation on the other, we propose the concept of affective aesthetics. It productively complicates recent theories of literary aesthetics and makes them applicable to a diverse range of texts. We exemplarily consider the affective dimensions of aesthetic strategies in works by Christina Sharpe, Sara Ahmed, bell hooks, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who promote the idea of feminism as an everyday practice through aesthetically rendered texts that foster a personal and intimate link between the writer, text, and the reader.

LI.TER1TIJE.E UP.OS :.1CDERK MUSICAL C,CMPCSITICN._.._.___ IS APPROVED BY ME AS FULFILLING THIS PART OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF. DACKELOR OF I^SIC Approved: INTRODUCTION Of all the arts, there are surely no two more closely re- late! and inter-dependent than literature and music. To becoir.e only partially acquainted with Milton, Browning or Goethe and to note their allusions to music is to realize that they were deeply in- terested in that art. On the other hand, we co-uld hardly have been blessed with great oratorios, masses, operas, cantatas, and songs but for the literary texts upon which they are based. It is certain- ly true that the musician am the literate have always gone hand in hana. As a result, composers have, from the beginning used texts rrom German, English, Italian, French and other literatures as the basis of their inspiration for many fine operas, oratorios, masses, and orchestral works. It m.ay seerr to sere as though American liter- ature has had little influence upon musical composition, that texts from that source have not been found sufficiently worthy for adap- tation to musical settings.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

Quick Facts * Born in 1931 * African- Biography American “ playwright Adrienne Kennedy was born on September 15, 1931 in Pittsburgh, Penn- * Her first play sylvania. Her father, an executive secretary” for the YMCA, and mother, was Funnyhouse a teacher were very loving parents whose stories and good examples of the Negro influenced many aspects of her works. Kennedy was a very gifted (1964) child. Remarkably at the age of three, she learned how to read. When she was four years old, her family moved to Cleveland, Ohio. Because they moved into an integrated neighborhood, Kennedy’s life became slightly rigid. In order to overcome this obstacle, Kennedy developed a “dramatic inner life” (Gates 2080). She would watch the people around her, especially her family, as if they were in a play. Kennedy used these images in her head as composites of the characters in her plays. Two weeks after Kennedy graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in elementary education, she married Joseph C. Kennedy. After six months of marriage, Joseph was sent to Korea so Kennedy moved in with her parents. Pregnant with her first child, she spent this time of awaiting her husband’s return writing her first plays. When Joseph re- turned from Korea, he decided to move his family to New York where he could further his education at Columbia Teacher’s College. While Joseph continued his studies, Kennedy pursued her interest in writing through a creative writing class at Columbia University and at the American Theater Wing.

  • The Hall of Fantasy Nathaniel Hawthorne
    The Hall of Fantasy Nathaniel Hawthorne *1 t has happened to me, on various occasions, to find myself in a certain edifice which would appear to have some of the characteristics of a I public exchange. Its interior is a spacious hall, with a pavement of white marble. Overhead is a lofty dome, supported by long rows of pillars of fantastic architecture, the idea of which was probably taken from the Moorish ruins of the Alhambra, or perhaps from some enchanted edifice in the Arabian tales. The windows of this hall have a breadth and grandeur of 1 “The Hall of Fantasy” was originally published in the Pioneer in 1843. It was col- lected in Mosses from an Old Manse (1846), upon the second edition of which (1854) this text is based. Pioneer released only three issues, in January, February, and March of 1843, in two of which Hawthorne’s work appeared: “The Hall of Fantasy” in the second issue, and “The Birth-mark” in the third. (See Edwin D. Mead, “Lowell’s Pioneer,” New England Magazine, volume V, October 1891, pp. 235-248, available at http://books.google.com/books?id=TbUVAAAAYAAJ.) The original Pioneer edition differed substantially from later versions, mainly in that it included some short phrases and two long sections that were altered or cut from subsequent editions; those smaller changes are described in these footnotes, and the two long sections are reproduced in the Appendix below. a public exchange – a building where local merchants meet to buy, sell, and do business fantastic – fantastical; fanciful, whimsical, marvelous the Moorish ruins of the Alhambra – Alhambra (the “red palace” in Arabic) was for several centuries the castle and fortress of the Moorish rulers of Granada in southern Spain.
