To simultaneously say and unsay, tell and untell, assert and negate, propose and retract is precisely the type of paradoxical privilege contemporary literature likes to claim for itself. The consequence of these self-contradictory practices, which is manifestly also its purpose, is a lack of committment, of selection, of assertiveness, foremost on the narrative level but also and crucially in the aesthetic and ideological fields. It is my contention that if postmodernism has given rise to such polemical definitions and analyses and if it continues to be such a complex cultural phenomenon to grasp, it is in particular because of its paradigmatic association of contradictory statements, modalities, and literary traditions. The logic of self-contradiction stems from what one might call, to transpose Lyotard’s renowned phrase, an incredulity towards all meta-ideologies, or in other words a fundamental political weariness and wariness. Defined as a song and by extension a text which retracts, negates or contradicts that which has previously been stated, the palinode is, according to Antoine Compagnon (1990: 151), what characterizes postmodernism and its retraction of modernist purity, balance and messianism. Rather than choose one guiding line, contemporary art explores one type of tradition, style or dogma before questioning miscelánea: a journal of english and american studies 26 (2002): pp. 11-20 Christian Gutleben it and exploring an opposed tendency. Concretely, palinodes can take two textual forms, one isolated and syntagmatic, the other narrative and structural. In Ever After, for example, Graham Swift (1992: 120, 249, 259) uses palinodes as a strikingly repetitive figure of speech: “It’s not the end of the world. It is the end of the world”. “Life goes on. It doesn’t go on”. “It’s not the end of the world. It is. Life goes on. It doesn’t”. “Nothing is meant to be. Everything is meant to be”. Voiced by the wavering, hesitating, suicidal narrator, these antithetical declarations appear initially as a means of self-characterization: Bill Unwin who has lost all certainty stands on “groundless grounds” (55) and nourishes contradictory hopes. The same device is employed again in Out of this World and Shuttlecock (“The facts of life, my darlings. Your parents fuck. They don’t fuck”, Swift 1988: 139), but it becomes evident however that what is at stake is not merely the depiction of the protagonists, and this is underscored by the fact that retractions can also be found in the structural unfolding. In Ever After, the double-layered narrative starts by accounting for the conjugal, albeit provisional, happiness of the two main characters before dwelling on the opposite likelihood, i.e., unfaithfulness and woeful cuckoldry. One state of affairs does not cancel the other: a possibility and its opposite are presented concomitantly, neither being more definitive than the 12 other. The same process is at work in Shuttlecock where the initial portrait of the protagonist’s father as a war hero is later retracted and replaced by the description of a traitor and a coward,

  • “The First Thing You Notice About David Breskin Is That He's Got Chops up The
    “The first thing you notice about David Breskin is that he’s got chops up the wazoo and is fabulously intelligent. It may take longer to start seeing through his fierce and faceted eye or to notice how many of our lived-in worlds it sees in all their dazzle of simultaneity and fact. This is poetry in which the intimate and public worlds do not exclude each other but mutually refract their signs and lights, and where even the self on which the world imposes its unrelenting politics can earn, with ingenuity and effort, its meed of radiance.” —Rafi Zabor, author of The Bear Comes Home, PEN/Faulkner Award Winner “In David Breskin’s Escape Velocity, ferocity and speed don’t preclude clarity of critique, and the tectonic instabilities of metaphor’s capacity for disruption is married to a clarity of focus, producing a vivid, Baroque pageantry that defies chronology in favor of synchronicity, that gives us panoramas of wrecks. Rare to find poetry that is so confrontational, so avid to go to the hot spots, to risk being brutal in the service of truth while preserving such formal elegance. Unflinching, these poems roar like Cassandra with disastrous moment: it’s a transfixing sound.” —Dean Young, author of Skid “David Breskin’s Escape Velocity is torqued with rage at the world as he finds it, ‘a micro avalanche of each soul’s presence.’ With formal precison and clarity, he elucidates the sorrows of our times, an unflinching and brave indictment of the spoils of life’s wars, both personal and political.

    Neg(oti)ating Fusion: Steely Dan’s Generic Irony by Ethan Krajewski A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2018 © 2018 Ethan Patrick Krajewski To my parents for music and language Acknowledgements My biggest thanks go to my advisor, Professor Julian Levinson, as a teacher, mentor, and friend, for helping me think, talk, write, and (most importantly, I think) laugh about seventies rock music. You’ve helped make this project fun in all of its rigor and relaxed despite all of the stress that it’s caused. I’d also like to thank Professor Gillian White for leading our cohort toward discipline, and for keeping us all grounded. Also for her spirited conversations and anecdotes, which proved invaluable in the early stages of my thinking. I wouldn’t be here writing this if it weren’t for Professor Supriya Nair, who pushed me to apply for the program and helped me develop the intellectual curiosity that led to this project. The same goes for Gina Brandolino, who I count among my most important teachers and role models. To the cohort: thank you for all of your help over the course of the year. You’re all so smart, and so kind, and I wish you all nothing but the best. To Ashley: if you aren’t the best non-professional line editor at large in the world, then you’re at least second or third. I mean it sincerely when I say that this project would be infinitely worse without your guidance.

  • Anglo-Indian Visions of Empire, the Raj Revival, and the Literary Crafting of National Character
    Shadows of the Raj: Anglo-Indian Visions of Empire, the Raj Revival, and the Literary Crafting of National Character by GENEVIEVE GAGNE-HAWES B.A. Whitman College, 2003 M.A. New York University, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) November 2012 © Genevieve Gagne-Hawes, 2012 i ABSTRACT In my dissertation, I argue for a relationship of influence between the authors of what I define as the Raj novel genre, or works by British writers who lived in India between 1858 and 1947 and produced novels set in that country, and authors of the so-called “Raj Revival” in 1970s and 1980s Great Britain. The latter encompasses bestselling, award-winning novels (M.M. Kaye’s The Far Pavilions, Paul Scott’s Raj Quartet; J.G. Farrell’s The Siege of Krishnapur, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Heat and Dust) and films (David Lean’s A Passage to India) that nostalgically revisit the Raj experience. Both movements claim ideal British character is manifested by Anglo- Indians, British persons living and working in India, who develop a series of exemplary character traits through the rigors of daily service in the subcontinent. In the Raj novel genre, this model of Anglo-Indian character—and the concurrent denigration of Indian character—is used as a strategy by which to elevate the nascent Anglo-Indian community. In the Raj Revival, the Raj novel genre’s ideals are deployed in support of the conservative shift that occurred during Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s tenure (1979-1990).

  • Liner Notes, Visit Our Web Site
    “When we escape from the place we spend most of our time . we start thinking about obscure possibilities . that never would have occurred to us if we’d stayed back on the farm.” —Jonah Lerner 1 In his 2009 essay about the transformative power of travel, science writer Jonah Lerner concludes, “When we get home, home is still the same. But something in our mind has been changed, and that changes everything.” The same thing can be said about listening to music, especially music that causes you to lose your bearings in a territory that cannot be fenced into any familiar category. The Celestial Septet, comprising the Nels Cline Singers and Rova Saxophone Quartet, is a vehicle for time and space travel through dense, narrow thickets and airy, wide expanses of boundary-blurred extrapolations of jazz, rock, late-20th-century European modernism and American minimalism, and 21st-century postmodern fusions. The trip is challenging, but the open-minded listener/traveler cannot help but come through the experience with new perspectives on sound and music. As individual entities, the Singers and Rova ramble in musical regions that have been variously and inadequately called “avant-garde,” “creative,” “improvised,” “new,” “noise,” and “free.” Such labels are more convenient than instructive. Similarly, the groups’ respective names are somewhat deceptive and limited when it comes to describing the configurations of personnel and instrumentation. The singer-less Singers—Nels Cline, Devin Hoff, and Scott Amendola—are ostensibly a guitar-bass-drums trio. But the approaches taken by Cline on acoustic and electric guitars and various effects, Hoff on acoustic contrabass, and Amendola on drum kit, percussion, live electronics, and effects expand the threesome’s musical possibilities exponentially.
