  • Silence and Fecundity in Carmen Maria Machado's Her Body And
    Katarzyna Więckowska* Silence and Fecundity in Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12775/LC.2020.037 Abstract: In the final chapter ofWriting and Difference titled “Ellipsis”, Jacques Derrida describes lack as the element that is constitutive of meaning – what is missing from the book is “invisible and undeterminable”, yet it “redoubles and consecrates” it, so that “all meaning is altered by this lack” (1978: 296). Following Derrida’s cue that writing “is of an elliptical essence” (ibid: 296), I focus on lacks and silences in Carmen Maria Machado’s short-story collection Her Body and Other Parties (2017) and their contribution to meaning. Machado’s tales uncover new meanings in well- known stories and depict experiences that are usually silenced, thereby highlighting the othering potential of story-telling and stressing the interdependencies between worlds and stories. In this essay, I refer to Emmanuel Levinas’s work on ethics, Maurice Blanchot’s writings on the relation 81 between literature and ethics, and Jacques Derrida’s account of haunting to argue that the stories not only demonstrate that any text is made through what is missing, absent or different, but that they also establish an ethical relation with the reader based on shared vulnerability and uncertainty. Keywords: ethics, alterity, corporeality, haunting, Carmen Maria Machado 3(35) 2020 * University professor in the Department of Anglophone Literature, Culture and Comparative Studies at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. Her research interests include the contemporary novel in English, eco- criticism, feminist criticism, and hauntology. E-mail: [email protected] | ORCID: 0000-0003-3408-3695.

  • The Weird: Aesthetic Effect and Power
    MJUR 2017, Issue 8 59 The Weird: Aesthetic Effect and Power Lauren Lipski Colorado Mesa University Abstract Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone, Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and The Who’s Tommy have all been called weird, but what makes these texts weird? This paper examines weirdness beyond its use as a value judgment or genre category. Similar to Sianne Ngai’s Our Aesthetic Categories (2012), which describes cute, zany, and interesting as aesthetic effects, my project also describes the weird as an aesthetic effect. By drawing upon its etymology, my project establishes the weird as a term referencing a power, “an effect that holds an audience enthralled.” Occurring either via ruptures of coherency or when distinct boundaries are blurred to create “in-between states,” the weird as a critical term has the potential to examine our contemporary preoccupation with destabilization. My paper poses several questions: Can the weird be reclaimed from a subjective judgment to one of critical application? How is context important in determining what is weird and what is not? How does the weird challenge what society considers normal, logical, and stable? By establishing the weird as an analytical term, my project provides a lens through which to examine texts that perplex and discomfort, yet simultaneously enthrall, an audience. Introduction The term weird can seemingly describe anything. It could categorize the nonsense title and lyrics of Cream’s psychedelic hit, S.W.L.A.B.R., with its title of the invented acronym for “she walked like a bearded rainbow” (Bruce).

  • 8.5 Hours • Unabridged © 2017 by Carmen Maria Machado
    In Her Body and Other Parties, Carmen Maria Machado blithely demolishes the arbitrary borders between psychological realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. While her work has earned her comparisons to Karen Russell and Kelly Link, she has a voice that is all her own. In this electric and provocative debut, Machado bends genre to shape startling narratives that map the realities of women’s lives and the violence visited upon their bodies. A wife refuses her husband’s entreaties to remove the green ribbon from around her neck. A woman recounts her sexual encounters as a plague slowly consumes humanity. A salesclerk in a mall makes a horrifying discovery within the seams of the store’s prom dresses. One woman’s surgery-induced weight loss results in an unwanted houseguest. And in the bravura novella “Especially Heinous,” Machado reimagines every episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a show we naïvely assumed had shown it all, generating a phantasmagoric police procedural full of doppelgängers, ghosts, and girls with bells for eyes. Carmen Maria Machado’s work has appeared in Granta, the New Yorker, NPR, Electric Literature, and elsewhere. She has been nominated for a Nebula Award and a Shirley Jackson Award, and was a finalist for the Calvino Prize. She lives in Philadelphia. Running Time: 8.5 Hours • Unabridged © 2017 by Carmen Maria Machado. Recorded by arrangement with Carmen Maria Machado, care of The Friedrich Agency. 햯 2017 HighBridge Company.

Because I have not read every single title here and have relied on other peoples input, you may on occasion find a title that is not appropriate for the intended genre....please do let me know and I will remove it, just as if you find a title that needs to be added...that is appreciated as well.

  • Something Wicked This Way Comes”: Apocalyptic Overtones and the Descent Into Ennui in John Logan’S TV Series Penny Dreadful
    doi: 10.17605/OSF.IO/H4YBT “Something Wicked This Way Comes”: Apocalyptic Overtones and the Descent into Ennui in John Logan’s TV Series Penny Dreadful Dr. Richard Logsdon, Professor Emeritus, College of Southern Nevada Abstract ennui that has its counterpart in our own culture.

  • NVS 12-1-13-Announcements-Page;
    Announcements: CFPs, conference notices, & current & forthcoming projects and publications of interest to neo-Victorian scholars (compiled by the NVS Assistant Editors) ***** CFPs: Journals, Special Issues & Collections (Entries that are only listed, without full details, were highlighted in a previous issue of NVS. Entries are listed in order of abstract/submission deadlines.) Penny Dreadfuls and the Gothic Edited Collection Abstracts due: 18 December 2020 Articles due: 30 April 2021 Famed for their scandalous content and supposed pernicious influence on a young readership, it is little wonder why the Victorian penny dreadful was derided by critics and, in many cases, censored or banned. These serialised texts, published between the 1830s until their eventual decline in the 1860s, were enormously popular, particularly with working-class readers. Neglecting these texts from Gothic literary criticism creates a vacuum of working-class Gothic texts which have, in many cases, cultural, literary and socio-political significance. This collection aims to redress this imbalance and critically assess these crucial works of literature. While some of these penny texts (i.e. String of Pearls, Mysteries of London, and Varney the Vampyre to name a few) are popularised and affiliated with the Gothic genre, many penny bloods and dreadfuls are obscured by these more notable texts. As well as these traditional pennys produced by such prolific authors as James Malcolm Rymer, Thomas Peckett Press, and George William MacArthur Reynolds, the objective of this collection is to bring the lesser-researched, and forgotten, texts from neglected authors into scholarly conversation with the Gothic tradition and their mainstream relations. This call for papers requests essays that explore these ephemeral and obscure texts in relevance to the Gothic mode and genre.
