It situates Walzer within an American tradition of social democratic thought and argues that only when he is so situated can his thought be understood fully. Walzer’s engagement with that tradition, most notably through his work on Dissent magazine, has structured how he has responded to many of the major developments in political life over the course of his career, including the decline of movement politics, the rise of neoliberalism, the recent waves of immigration to the USA, and the increased salience of civil society following the demise of the Soviet Union.

  • Popular Song and the Poetics of Experience
    Journal of the Royal Musical Association, 146/1, 81–116 doi:10.1017/rma.2020.25 Popular Song and the Poetics of Experience ROSS COLE Abstract This article argues that songwriting can be an autobiographical activity. I trace a long- standing mistrust of self-expression in popular music through a branch of scholarship fixated with performance and personification, demonstrating its underlying affinities with post-structuralism and modernist dreams of impersonality. What we have lost as a result of this undue insistence on mediation is an awareness of the two-way traffic between life and lyrical craft. A poetics of song should pay increased attention to this intricate relationship – not reducing lyrics to biographical contingencies, but rather viewing autobiography itself as a complex process of self-reading, a public act of autobiographical making. My argument is illustrated with reference to three contemporary singer-songwriters who have interpreted aspects of their lives through song: Vic Chesnutt, Sun Kil Moon (Mark Kozelek) and Anohni (formerly of Antony and the Johnsons). Their work ultimately traverses and obscures the interstices between experience and imagination. When we hear a song it also seems to hear us. As we enter the world of a song, allowing it to infringe momentarily on our consciousness, we yield and the song begins to lead us – perhaps unwillingly, perhaps unwittingly – down unexpected pathways bent in the undergrowth of reminiscence and imagination. Rather than attentive listening con- tributing to the process of interpreting a song, in other words, songs appear to interpret us as we listen to them: they uncover or disarm us, they divert us and they move us by somehow trespassing over the landscapes of memory that we keep hidden away amid our day-to-day lives, illuminating the recesses of the self.

  • Agnes Martin and Ian Curtis
    UNKNOWN ARCHITECTURES: AGNES MARTIN AND IAN CURTIS A Dissertation by JAMES ANDREW WESTWATER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Stephen Caffey Committee Members, Gabriel Esquivel Philip Galanter Kirk Hamilton Head of Department, Robert Warden May 2017 Major Subject: Architecture Copyright 2017 James Andrew Westwater ABSTRACT This study focuses on the affective role of the built space of artistic production––the studio, the writing room, the rehearsal space, and the city––to examine, through the lens of architecture, mechanisms of artistic creativity such as inspiration, insight problem solving, nature, and the sublime. Architecture is defined here as human-built, natural, or conceptual space, place, or object. The romantic image of the suffering artist––the artist who suffers for their art––is well known, but to what extent does an artist make work because of their suffering or despite their suffering? In order to represent both hypotheses embedded in the question, two specific artists were selected for case study. The Canadian-American artist Agnes Martin (1912–2004) is known for her abstract geometric paintings, writings and lectures, and the decision to turn her back on the New York art scene and move to rural Northern New Mexico where she lived for almost 50 years. Martin overcame schizophrenia to become one of the most successful artists of her generation. The English singer-songwriter-musician Ian Curtis (1956–1980), lead singer of the influential postpunk band Joy Division, lived most of his life in or close to the northern English city of Manchester.
