  • Orpheu Et Al. Modernism, Women, and the War
    Orpheu et al. Modernism, Women, and the War M. Irene Ramalho-Santos* Keywords Little magazines, Poetry, Modernism, The Great War, Society, Sexual mores. Abstract The article takes off from Orpheu, the little magazine at the origin of Portuguese modernism, to reflect, from a comparative perspective, on the development of modernist poetry in the context of the Great War and the social changes evolving during the first decades of the twentieth century on both sides of the Atlantic. Palavras-chave “Little magazines,” Poesia, Modernismo, A Grande Guerra, Sociedade, Costumes sexuais. Resumo O artigo parte de Orpheu, a revista que dá origem ao modernismo português, para reflectir, numa perspectiva comparada, soBre o desenvolvimento da poesia modernista no contexto da Grande Guerra e das mudanças sociais emergentes nas primeiras décadas do século XX dos dois lados do Atlântico. * Universidade de CoimBra; University of Wisconsin-Madison. Ramalho Santos Orpheu et al. It is frequently repeated in the relevant scholarship that Western literary and artistic modernism started in little magazines.1 The useful online Modernist Journals Project (Brown University / Tulsa University), dealing so far only with American and British magazines, uses as its epigraph the much quoted phrase: “modernism began in the magazines”, see SCHOLES and WULFMAN (2010) and BROOKER and THACKER (2009-2013). With two issues published in 1915 and a third one stopped that same year in the galley proofs for lack of funding, the Portuguese little magazine Orpheu inaugurated modernism in Portugal pretty much at the same time as all the other major little magazines in Europe and the United States. This is interesting, given the proverbial belatedness of Portuguese accomplishments, and no less interesting the fact that, like everywhere else, Orpheu was followed, in Portugal as well, By a number of other little magazines.

The first two chapters outline a climate of new rights and opportunities in which women became public poets for the first time. They ran printing presses and bookshops, edited magazines and wrote criticism. They aimed to align themselves with a male tradition which excluded them and insisted upon their difference. Defining themselves antithetically to the mythologised poetess of the nineteenth century and popular verse, they developed strategies for disguising their gender through indeterminate speakers, fictional dramatisations or anti-realist subversions.

It assesses the impact of Russian technological Modernism, especially Constructivism, in the United States, chiefly in New York where it was disseminated, mimicked, and redefined. It is based on the paradox that Americans travelling to Europe and Russia on cultural pilgrimages to escape America were greeted with ‘Amerikanismus’ and ‘Amerikanizm’, where America represented the vanguard of technological modernity.

The personalities that populated the pages of this historically important literary journal practically leapt off the page and attracted me to learn more. Dr. Gammel's enthusiastic and patient guidance made it possible for me to learn about a subject that greatly interests me- the power oftalk - and to challenge myself to reach new levels of research and writing. Unexpectedly, this project also helped me to learn about myself. I found many similarities between my experiences communicating and debating sometimes unpopular beliefs and those of Margaret Anderson, one of the central subjects of this paper. I would also like to thank Dr. Elizabeth Podnieks for providing helpful and detailed feedback at short notice, all of which have found their way into this MRP and have further improved this project, as well as for introducing me, through her course CC30: Writing the Self, Reading the Lifo, to theories that relate to the autobiographical genre. Finally, I would like to thank the Joint Graduate Program in Communication and Culture for giving me this incredible experience to step into so many new worlds of thinking.

  • AMELIA JONES “'Women' in Dada: Elsa, Rrose, and Charlie”
    AMELIA JONES “’Women’ in Dada: Elsa, Rrose, and Charlie” From Naomi Sawelson-Gorse, Women in Dada:Essays on Sex, Gender, and Identity (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 1998): 142-172 In his 1918 Dada manifesto, Tristan Tzara stated the sources of “Dadaist Disgust”: “Morality is an injection of chocolate into the veins of all men....I proclaim the opposition of all cosmic faculties to [sentimentality,] this gonorrhea of a putrid sun issued from the factories of philosophical thought.... Every product of disgust capable of becoming a negation of the family is Dada.”1 The dadaists were antagonistic toward what they perceived as the loss of European cultural vitality (through the “putrid sun” of sentimentality in prewar art and thought) and the hypocritical bourgeois morality and family values that had supported the nationalism culminating in World War I.2 Conversely, in Hugo Ball's words, Dada “drives toward the in- dwelling, all-connecting life nerve,” reconnecting art with the class and national conflicts informing life in the world.”3 Dada thus performed itself as radically challenging the apoliticism of European modernism as well as the debased, sentimentalized culture of the bourgeoisie through the destruction of the boundaries separating the aesthetic from life itself. But Dada has paradoxically been historicized and institutionalized as “art,” even while it has also been privileged for its attempt to explode the nineteenth-century romanticism of Charles Baudelaire's “art for art's sake.”4 Moving against the grain of most art historical accounts of Dada, which tend to focus on and fetishize the objects produced by those associated with Dada, 5 I explore here what I call the performativity of Dada: its opening up of artistic production to the vicissitudes of reception such that the process of making meaning is itself marked as a political-and, specifically, gendered-act.

  • The “Garbled History” of the First –Edition Ulysses Edward L
    The “Garbled History” of the first –edition Ulysses Edward L. Bishop Joyce Studies Annual 1998: 3-36 “Joyce was fond of garbled history: and so am I” -- Sylvia Beach In the spring of 1921 a shattered James Joyce slumped in a chair in Sylvia Beach’s bookshop and told her his last chance to have Ulysses published had evaporated. Then, spontaneously, Beach offered to produce Joyce’s gigantic work. He was “delighted”, she was proud, and the history of modernism was forever changed. The story is familiar. Indeed the stories surrounding the publication of the 1922 edition have become part of the folklore of Ulysses, passed on without question. Yet in sifting through the documents in the collections at Princeton University, the University of Buffalo, and the University of Texas at Austin, a different, more complex picture begins to emerge of the publishing and distribution of Ulysses.1 Sylvia Beach in her memoirs, and Noel Fitch in her biography of Beach, presented the narrative of a selfless publisher bringing avant garde literature to a select but appreciative public. Lawrence Rainey has recently challenged that construction, attributing to publisher and readers alike a desire for cash rather than art. But in fact the archives radically destabilize any neat conceptions of the Ulysses publishing history. They raise issues about the disjunction between the targeted reader and the actual buyer of Ulysses, dissolving the binary of aesthete vs collector and forcing us to consider other categories – managers and mechanics, reviewers and ‘medical men’, colonels and flagellants, for a start. The documents return us to the reluctance of Bloomsbury (and the active hostility of Clive Bell), and they pose new questions about Bishop, “Garbled History” 2 the book’s circulation in a specifically queer context.

Unpublished Letters of Ezra Pound to James, Nora, and Stanislaus Joyce Robert Spoo University of Tulsa According to my computation, 198 letters between Ezra so come Pound and James Joyce have far to light. Excluding or letters to by family members (as when Joyce had Nora write for him during his iUnesses), I count 103 letters by Joyce to Pound, 26 of which have been pubUshed, and 95 letters by Pound to Joyce, 75 of which have been published. These numbers should give some idea of the service that Forrest Read performed nearly thirty years ago in collecting and pubUshing the letters of Pound to Joyce,1 and make vividly clear also how poorly represented in print Joyce's side of the correspondence is. Given the present policy of the Estate of James Joyce, we cannot expect to see this imbalance rectified any time soon, but Iwould remind readers that the bulk of Joyce's un pubUshed letters to Pound may be examined at Yale University's Beinecke Library.

  • Early Years and Avant Garde Ideas the Little Review in Chicago
    LECTURE “Early Years and Avant Garde Ideas The Little Review in Chicago” ©Susan Platt first presented in conjunction with a conference on the Avant Garde in Chicago, sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution, 1988, published in The Old Guard and the Avant-Garde, Modernism in Chicago, 1910 – 1940, University of Chicago Press, 1990 While severe floods created widespread disaster in Illinois in the Spring of 1913 established cultural circles in Chicago battled a flood of another type, coming not from natural forces, but from the artistic world of New York: the International Exhibition of Modern Painting, known in Chicago as the Post Impressionist Exhibition, invaded the staid bourgeois cultural circles of the city. A self respecting matron and mother, reported to the director of the Chicago Art Institute, Mr. WIlliam French, who had left town for the duration of the fracas, that a distinguished "alienist,." (expert in insanity) had visited the exhibition declared the art to be the work of a. distortionists b. psychopathologists and c. geometric puzzle artists. Of the three threats to society the least frightening appeared to be the last. The matron was concerned, she confided in Mr. French, for the moral and mental well being of her daughter. Yet even as the bourgeois sector of Chicago feared for their lives and those of their offspring, another dimension of Chicago's cultural scene was enlivened and invigorated by this same exhibition. I refer not to the students at the Art Institute (many of whom violently opposed the exhibition as suggested by their burning of Henri Matisse in effigy) but to the literary and political avant-garde of Chicago in 1913.
