Impersonality and the Cultural Work of Modernist Aesthetics Heather Arvidson a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment Of Impersonality and the Cultural Work of Modernist Aesthetics Heather Arvidson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Jessica Burstein, Chair Carolyn Allen Gillian Harkins Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English ©Copyright 2014 Heather Arvidson University of Washington Abstract Impersonality and the Cultural Work of Modernist Aesthetics Heather Arvidson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Jessica Burstein English Department This dissertation reanimates the multiple cultural and aesthetic debates that converged on the word impersonality in the first decades of the twentieth century, arguing that the term far exceeds the domain of high modernist aesthetics to which literary studies has consigned it. Although British and American writers of the 1920s and 1930s produced a substantial body of commentary on the unprecedented consolidation of impersonal structures of authority, social organization, and technological mediation of the period, the legacy of impersonality as an emergent cultural concept has been confined to the aesthetic innovations of a narrow set of writers. “Impersonality and the Cultural Work of Modernist Aesthetics” offers a corrective to this narrative, beginning with the claim that as human individuality seemed to become increasingly abstracted from urban life, the words impersonal and impersonality acquired significant discursive force, appearing in a range of publication types with marked regularity and emphasis but disputed valence and multiple meanings. In this context impersonality came to denote modernism’s characteristically dispassionate tone and fragmented or abstract forms, yet it also participated in a broader field of contemporaneous debate about the status of personhood, individualism, personality, and personal life. This dissertation asserts impersonality’s conceptual plasticity and makes a case for its paradigmatic importance in literary and cultural discourse of the 1920s and 1930s. Through literary texts that engage impersonality formally and thematically, the dissertation contextualizes narrative experiments in point of view within the broader questions about effaced individuality that the word impersonality condenses. By elaborating specific narrative criteria for impersonal fiction, “Impersonality and the Cultural Work of Modernist Aesthetics” also addresses a critical gap in formal understandings of impersonality. New readings of canonical as well as less often studied modernists—Virginia Woolf, Wyndham Lewis, Tess Slesinger, Djuna Barnes, and Nathanael West—suggest that modernism is invested in not only performing impersonality but also interrogating it as a contemporary mode of sociality.

At the University of Washington, I have been extremely fortunate to work under the direction of Jessica Burstein. With a modus operandi equal parts rigor and wit, she has been an exemplary guide and advocate at every stage of the project. I have benefited immensely from her capacious, endlessly inventive mind, inimitable prose, and incisive feedback on countless drafts. On first meeting me, Jessica warned that she puts her graduate students through the mill: she kept her word, and the process has been both generative, and transformative. It was also, dare I say, fun. Carolyn Allen offered unfailing encouragement over the years, blended with precisely the right amount of skepticism. Amid a wealth of wisdom, her foremost advice was to write about something to which I felt affectively connected, which was crucial not only for selecting a topic but for continuously re-orienting the project along the way—indeed the dissertation’s production attests that, contrary to popular belief, impersonality does not preclude feeling. Gillian Harkins offered exceedingly smart and candid responses at every turn and deftly suggested ways to link my work to wider worlds of relevance. I am grateful to her for pressing for fuller conclusions while also appreciating the merits of careful scholarship. With great practicality and warmth, Collette Moore not only helped me anchor this project using narrative theory and stylistics but also to clarify my purpose in engaging these tools, and thus to clarify the parameters of the project over all. At Modern Language Quarterly, Marshall Brown gave me a swift but invaluable education in academic editing, literary history, and the well matched virtues of precision and sparkle. ii At the University of British Columbia Adam Frank sponsored my first encounters with modernism and scholarship as a creative enterprise. The benefits of his friendship and invitation to collaboration have carried through my subsequent work and continue to shape my aspirations. I am also grateful to Janet Giltrow, Patricia Badir, and Stephen Guy-Bray for their generous mentorship. Colleagues and friends at the University of Washington have provided both stimulus and sustenance. Lindsay Rose Russell and Sarah Cohen invited me to join their writing group, which proved an unparalleled arena for developing a project and coming to believe in its value. Lindsay’s passionate opinions about astonishingly specific things and Sarah Cohen’s perennially sunny mode of reframing and reformulating allowed me to begin. Thanks, too, to Andy Myer, Annie Dwyer, Alice Pedersen, D. C. Nelson, Jennie Allen, and Will Arighi for many, many hours of conversation and, beyond the University of Washington, to John Redpath for suggesting all that can be done in twenty-five minutes. My family’s extraordinary support, patience, humor, and conviction made it possible to see my way to the end. Their unrelenting optimism and ability to champion my endeavors against

This is why Statesmen, and more generally the leaders, always have the objective and concern to leave for posterity or to strengthen big cultural institutions. As proof of this we can quote, as examples, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the British Museum, the Monastery of Escorial or the many American Presidential Libraries which honor the memory of the various Presidents of the United States. Since the Holy Roman Empire and, notably, in Europe during the Renaissance times cultural sponsorship has been increasingly active for the sake of art or for the sense of splendor. Nowadays, if there is a country where sponsors have a constant and decisive presence in the world of the art, this is certainly the United States. Names given to museum rooms in memory of devoted sponsors, as well as labels next to the paintings noting the donor’s name, are a very visible aspect of cultural sponsorship, especially in America.

  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world. The poet Ezra Pound's 1934 collection: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. injunction to "Make it new!" was paradigmatic of the movement's Hofmann was renowned not only as an artist but approach towards the obsolete. Another paradigmatic exhortation was also as a teacher of art, and a modernist theorist articulated by philosopher and composer Theodor Adorno, who, in the both in his native Germany and later in the U.S. During the 1930s in New York and California he 1940s, challenged conventional surface coherence and appearance of introduced modernism and modernist theories to [10] harmony typical of the rationality of Enlightenment thinking.

  • Fragments of a Late Modernity: José Angel Valente and Samuel Beckett
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by KU ScholarWorks COMPARATIVE LITERATURE/228 JONATHAN MAYHEW Fragments of a Late Modernity: José Angel Valente and Samuel Beckett for John Kronik, in memoriam, “il miglior fabbro” HAT DOES IT MEAN to be a modernist poet at the end of the twentieth Wcentury? Perhaps no poet more clearly embodies the ethos of “late mod- ernism” than José Angel Valente, whose final book, Fragmentos de un libro futuro, was published after his death in the final year of the millennium. This book is not only posthumous but also designed to be posthumous. According to its front flap, “José Angel Valente concibió una suerte de obra poética ‘abierta’, un libro que—como la parábola cervantina de Ginés de Pasamonte o la novela de Proust —no acabaría sino con la desaparición misma del autor” ( José Angel Valente conceived of a sort of “open” poetic work, a book that, like the Cervantine para- bole of Ginés de Pasamonte or Proust’s novel, would not end until the author himself disappeared; my translation here and throughout). The book’s futurity, then, lies beyond the lifespan of the poet. Yet, in relation to the avant-garde movements of the earlier part of the twentieth century, Valente’s book is decid- edly nostalgic rather than forward looking. Its predominant tone is elegiac. While steeped in the culture of modernity, it ultimately exemplifies an arrière-garde rather than an avant-garde spirit. Given Valente’s pre-eminent position within the canon of late twentieth-century Spanish poetry, an examination of his work during the last two decades of his life can also reveal the degree to which the modernist aesthetic has maintained its vitality in the contemporary period.

Noyce Doctor of Philosophy Department of English June 2014 Title: The “Knockings and Batterings” Within: Late Modernism’s Reanimations of Narrative Form This dissertation corrects the notion that fiction written in the late 1920s through the early 1940s fails to achieve the mastery and innovation of high modernism. It posits late modernism as a literary dispensation that instead pushes beyond high modernism’s narrative innovations in order to fully express individuals’ lived experience in the era between world wars. This dissertation claims novels by Elizabeth Bowen, Evelyn Waugh, and Samuel Beckett, as exemplars of a late modernism characterized by invocation and redeployment of conventionalized narrative forms in service of fresh explorations of the dislocation, inauthenticity, and alienation that characterize this era.

  • Genius Is Nothing but an Extravagant Manifestation of the Body. — Arthur Cravan, 1914
    1 ........................................... The Baroness and Neurasthenic Art History Genius is nothing but an extravagant manifestation of the body. — Arthur Cravan, 1914 Some people think the women are the cause of [artistic] modernism, whatever that is. — New York Evening Sun, 1917 I hear “New York” has gone mad about “Dada,” and that the most exotic and worthless review is being concocted by Man Ray and Duchamp. What next! This is worse than The Baroness. By the way I like the way the discovery has suddenly been made that she has all along been, unconsciously, a Dadaist. I cannot figure out just what Dadaism is beyond an insane jumble of the four winds, the six senses, and plum pudding. But if the Baroness is to be a keystone for it,—then I think I can possibly know when it is coming and avoid it. — Hart Crane, c. 1920 Paris has had Dada for five years, and we have had Else von Freytag-Loringhoven for quite two years. But great minds think alike and great natural truths force themselves into cognition at vastly separated spots. In Else von Freytag-Loringhoven Paris is mystically united [with] New York. — John Rodker, 1920 My mind is one rebellion. Permit me, oh permit me to rebel! — Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven, c. 19251 In a 1921 letter from Man Ray, New York artist, to Tristan Tzara, the Romanian poet who had spearheaded the spread of Dada to Paris, the “shit” of Dada being sent across the sea (“merdelamerdelamerdela . .”) is illustrated by the naked body of German expatriate the Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (see fig.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1974 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. i GEORGE RICHARDS MINOT December 2, 1885-February 25, 1950 BY W. B. CASTLE EORGE MINOT was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on Decem- G ber 2, 1885, the eldest of three sons of Dr. James Jackson and Elizabeth Frances (Whitney) Minot. His ancestors had been successful in business and professional careers in Boston. His father was a private practitioner and for many years a clinical teacher of medicine as a member of the staff of the Massachusetts General Hospital. In the second half of the nineteenth century his great uncle, Francis Minot, became the third Hersey Pro- fessor of the Theory and Practice of Physic at Harvard; and his cousin, Charles Sedgwick Minot, a distinguished anatomist, was Professor of Histology there in the early years of the twentieth century. George Minot's grandmother was the daughter of Dr. James Jackson, the second Hersey Professor and a cofounder with John Collins Warren of the Massachusetts General Hos- pital, which opened its doors in 1821. Thus his forebears, like those of other Boston medical families, were influential par- ticipants in the activities of the Harvard Medical School and its affiliated teaching hospital. George was regarded by his physician-father as a delicate child who required physical protection and nourishing food.
