Interpretation in Recent Literary, Film and Cultural Criticism
t- \r- 9 Anxieties of Commentary: Interpretation in Recent Literary, Film and Cultural Criticism Noel Kitg A Dissertàtion Presented to the Faculty of Arts at the University of Adelaide In Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 7994 Nwo.rà"o\ \qq5 l1 @ 7994 Noel Ki^g Atl rights reserved lr1 Abstract This thesis claims that a distinctive anxiety of commentary has entered literary, film and cultural criticism over the last thirty years/ gathering particular force in relation to debates around postmodernism and fictocriticism and those debates which are concerned to determine the most appropriate ways of discussing popular cultural texts. I argue that one now regularly encounters the figure of the hesitant, self-diiioubting cultural critic, a person who wonders whether the critical discourse about to be produced will prove either redundant (since the work will already include its own commentary) or else prove a misdescription of some kind (since the criticism will be unable to convey the essence of , say, the popular cultural object). In order to understand the emergence of this figure of the self-doubting cultural critic as one who is no longer confident that available forms of critical description are adequate and/or as one who is worried that the critical writing produced will not connect with a readership that might also have formed a constituency, the thesis proposes notions of "critical occasions," "critical assemblages," "critical postures," and "critical alibis." These are presented as a way of indicating that "interpretative occasions" are simultaneously rhetorical and ethical. They are site-specific occasions in the sense that the critic activates a rhetorical-discursive apparatus and are also site-specific in the sense that the critic is using the cultural object (book, film) as an occasion to call him or herself into question as one who requires a further work of self-stylisation (which might take the form of a practice of self-problematisation). -
Poststructuralism in English Classrooms: Critical Literacy and After
1 Poststructuralism in English classrooms: Critical literacy and after Bronwyn Mellor & Annette Patterson This paper was published in a slightly different form in: International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, Vol 17, No 1, p.85-102 (2004). Copyright 2004 Taylor & Francis 2 Poststructuralism in English classrooms: Critical literacy and after Abstract This paper explores the effects of poststructuralism on the work of two English teachers and writers of classroom texts. It traces aspects of their theoretical and practical engagement with poststructuralism from an initial acceptance of what appeared to promise the possibility of a truly critical practice through ideology critique to a stance that endeavours to include a consideration of the emergence of English pedagogy as well as theories about language and meaning. Current understandings of reading in English classrooms have moved away from the belief that the interpretation of literature is purely a matter of personal response. Instead, it has been argued during recent decades that reading is a socially, culturally and historically located practice. In part, this change is an inheritance from British Cultural Studies which, informed by political and cultural theory, influenced English in seemingly radical ways in the 1970’s and 80’s. During this period ‘theory’ – especially postructuralist theory – effected changes at every level of English teaching. Challenges to ideas about what constituted a student reader, a classroom text and an interpretation resulted in a re-formation of English in high schools. This re-formation included shifts in emphases away from the individual reader’s personal response to texts toward the idea of subject positioning through textual practices, a review of the concept of interpretation, a focus on the concept of multiple readings, a deconstruction of the opposition between 3 high culture and popular culture and an embracing of the concepts of text, textuality and intertextuality. -

A Post-Holocaust Reading of Jewish Heroism in Bernard Malamud's The
Title: A Post-Holocaust Reading of Jewish Heroism in Bernard Malamud’s The Fixer, “Man in the Drawer,” and “An Apology” Author: Sajjad Mahboobi Affiliation: Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch Year:2015 Abstract: This thesis has two major purposes: to examine the concept of Jewish heroism in Bernard Malamud’s selected works, and to demonstrate that despite denying it, the author is foremost concerned with Jewish, rather than universal, issues. It is argued that the main characters of Malamud’s fiction, especially in the discussed narratives, portray heroism through resistance, morality, and the responsibility they accept toward their people, while they suffer inevitably and arouse emotion in the reader on miseries and pains of Jews. In light of a truth- oriented historicist approach, the researcher argues that Malamud’s characters are time-bound and benefit from the postwar Holocaust-saturated America and the considerable sympathy that Jews drew especially in those years. While these characters associate the non-Jewish reader mainly with two things, Jew the innocent and the alleged Holocaust, they help American Jews, in particular, rise again from the so-called Auschwitz ashes and free from Jew-the-victim mentality, intensified by the Holocaust propaganda, through displaying heroism of resistance. They also help revive qualities of Jewishness that were fading in the increasingly assimilated postwar perio Keywords: : Post-Holocaust Jewish American fiction, Jewish suffering, Jewish heroism, Jew-the-victim mentality References: Aarons, Victoria. “Malamud, Bernard.” The Encyclopedia of Twentieth-Century Fiction.

Are a Way of Understanding and Handling Empirical Materials and Thoughts
Volume 20, No. 2, Art. 2 May 2019 The "Studies in Ethnomethodology" Are a Way of Understanding and Handling Empirical Materials and Thoughts Eric Laurier in Conversation With Hannes Krämer, Dominik Gerst & René Salomon Key words: Abstract: In the following conversation Eric LAURIER talks about the role of ethnomethodology's ethnomethodology; foundational account—the "Studies in Ethnomethodology" (GARFINKEL, 1967)—within the UK and methodology; the influence of the book on his own research as well as on human geography, mobility studies, mobility; actor- actor-network-theory, and a general social science methodology. He therefore underlines the network-theory; peculiar focus of GARFINKEL on the everyday, his non-ironic position towards member's practices, materiality; and the plurivocality of the book. Giving an elaborated account on the methodological challenges everyday life with an ethnomethodological approach including video recordings he differentiates between the video as a research tool and video usage as a member's practice. LAURIER demonstrates the inspiring and initiating content of the studies as well as its limits. By doing so he can show the prolific quality for current research fields like the study of mobility and movement, the question of space and place, and the role of the "Studies in Ethnomethodology" as a political text. Table of Contents 1. Conversations on Ethnomethodology Often Start With "How Did You Get Into This?" 2. This Stylistics of Writing has a Positive Quality 3. GARFINKEL's Peculiar Take on the Everyday 4. Reading the Book 5. Theory and Methodology Are Interwoven 6. It Is a Book You Always Return to 7. -

An absolute must for those looking for either an introduction to the topic or an inspiring and insightful reader.' - Glyn Winter, Educational and Qualitative Research Archive Semiotics for Beginners by Daniel Chandler Preface I have been asked on a number of occasions how I came to write this text, and for whom. I wrote it initially in 1994 for myself and for my students in preparation for a course I teach on Media Education for 3rd year undergraduates at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth. In my opinion, an understanding of semiotics is essential for anyone studying the mass media - or communication or cultural studies. No comparable text on the subject existed at the time so I rashly attempted to create one which suited my own purposes and those of my students. It was partly a way of advancing and clarifying my own understanding of the subject. Like many other readers my forays into semiotics had been frustrated by many of the existing books on the subject which frequently seemed almost impossible to understand. As an educationalist, I felt that the authors of such books should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. -

Tove Skutnabb-Kangas'
Tove Skutnabb-Kangas Page 1 2/11/2021 Bibliography on multilingualism, multilingual and Indigenous/ tribal/minority/minoritised (ITM) education; linguistic human rights; endangered languages, their maintenance and revitalisation; linguistic genocide and crimes against humanity in education; linguistic imperialism and the subtractive spread of English; and the relationship between linguistic diversity and biodiversity. And the state of the world, and our future. Last updated in February 2021. This private bibliography (7,325 entries, 447 pages in Times Roman 12; over 1,384,500 bytes, over 184,000 words), contains most of the references I (Tove Skutnabb-Kangas) have used (or intend to use) in what I have published since 1972. There may be errors (and certainly moving to Mac did garble references in Kurdish, Greek, Russian, etc). I have hopefully deleted most of the doubles (there may still be some). If an article says “In XX (ed)” and page numbers, the book itself will be found under the editor’s name. Since I have done the latest alphabetisations automatically, everything is not always in completely right order (an example: if something with several authors has “and” or “&” between the authors, the order can be wrong). I hope my Big Bib may be useful for some people, both students and (other) colleagues. My own publications are also here in alphabetical order, but for more recent ones check my web page, www.tove-skutnabb- kangas.org, “all publications”, “publications since 2000”, and “publications in press”, which are updated more often. For (my husband) Robert Phillipson’s publications, check his webpage, www.cbs.dk/en/staff/rpibc.
