Ammons Introduction Mickey Pearlman 11 is a commonplace in criticism to define American literature, in short story or novel form, as the chronicle of the solitary hero, of man alone, man against society, man as individual, endlessly testing his strength and durability against his own resources on a mythic, adven- turous journey to epiphany and knowledge. American literature, we are taught, is about space, open space, and the ways in which hearty or hesitant, defiant or defensive, Amer- ican heroes experience both its potential and its limitations. Amer- ican heroes live beyond society, and they are both freed by, and victimized by, the lack of entrenched behavior patterns. Walter Allen, for instance, says that "American literature is less interested in redemption than in the eternal struggle of good and evil; it is less interested in reconciliation than it is in disorder/71 and he suggests that the interior dramas of the great characters of the American Renaissance are expressed in symbolic terms encased in stories of initiation, isolation, transformation, and vindication. American literature, we are taught, is about escape, escape from perceived or real evil (Hawthorne), from intellectual anguish ¡Bellow), from the debilitating effects of social, political, and religious forces (Dreiser, Mailer, Malamud), from the castrating parental figure (Washington Irving, Roth), or from psychological disorder (Melville), from materialism and the masses (Whitman), from the drudgery of the commonplace (Hemingway), from time that either entraps you (Faulkner) or that is amorphous and free-flowing (Twain). American literature is about escaping from our propensity to become grotesques (Fitzgerald) and about the self-serving safety of 2 American Women Writing Fiction life as a grotesque (Anderson). As Leslie Fiedler says, the "figure of Rip Van Winkle presides over the birth of the American imagina- tion/'2 the ancestor of Natty Bumppo and Rabbit Angstrom, of Ahab and Gatsby of Yossarian and Jake Barnes, of Billy Budd and Miss Lonelyhearts, of Henderson the Rain King and "The Invisible Man" and scores of masculine and maverick heroes, most of them running from supposed shrews and bitches to symbolic women in mythical milieus. And, of course, all the while dreaming, sleeping, preferring (before and since Melville's BaWeby) "not to," opting out of society and still "lighting out for the territory" in a search for identity without the intertwining anchors of memory and family. These, of course, are works written by American men, and they are, despite the engrossing portraits of Hester and the Daisys, Dilsey and Isabel Archer, among others, about men. Moreover, these are novels and stories that Adrienne Rich tells the reader to see with new eyes, and to know in a different way, because "once we pay attention to the crucial role the protagonist's sex plays in shaping the plot, its place in literary tradition irrevocably shifts."3 What happens, then, when American literature is written by women: by the fifth-generation native Californian Joan Didion in the West; by Mary Gordon and Susan Fromberg Schaeffer in the ethnic, urban Northeast; by Alison Lurie at Cornell, where bumper stickers read "Ithaca, New York: Centrally Isolated"; by women from the South (Jayne Anne Phillips and Gail Godwin) and women in the South (Mary Lee Settle), where a "strong sense of place continues to shape the Southern characters' view of themselves"4 even though "today's South is more typically urban than rural . more mobile and transient than rooted in the southern past"5? What changes are produced by the Native American Louise Erdrich, member of the Chippewa nation, who was raised near the Turtle Mountain Reserva- tion in North Dakota and now lives and writes near Dartmouth in Cornish, New Hampshire? What changes are wrought by Toni Cade Bambara, since historically "the problems and pleasures of Black [female] life have been defined, ill-defined, and redefined, explained and re-explained, sawed and chewed and twisted, more often than not."6 What changes occur when American literature is not only written by American women but uses women as narrators? Diane Johnson notes the "problem that comes from having as your central character a female person. The male narrative voice is still accorded more authority The female narrative voice is always questioned—is she crazy? Are the things she's saying a delusion, or reality?"7 Introduction 3 What happens to the concept of open space, the notion that escape is a viable, even an enviable, option as it is for American heroes, or to the enigmatic problem of identity: how you acquire it and how you protect it? All women, as has been repeatedly docu- mented, gain identity, personhood, voice, by association—some- body's daughter, mother, sister, wife. They are caught, repeatedly, in the double bind of the female, responsible for both the trivia and the significant emotional memorabilia that link the experience of family members, thereby providing an environment for identity, and, at the same time, denied both the opportunity and the initiative for identity independent of

Most teachers, though, have been trained in the belles lettres tradition, and their competence usually lies with fiction Or poetry. Cultural preference has traditionally held that fiction is the most important form of literature. Analyzing a selection of twentieth century non-fiction prose is difficult; there are too few resources, and conventional analytical methods too often do not fit modern non-fiction. The new journalism, a recent literary genre, is especially difficult to "teach" because it blends fictive and journalistic techniques.

  • Trying to Live Now Chronotopic Figures in Jenny Watson’S a Painted Page Series
    Vol 3, No 1 (2014) | ISSN 2155-1162 (online) | DOI 10.5195/contemp.2014.98 http://contemporaneity.pitt.edu Trying to Live Now Chronotopic Figures in Jenny Watson’s A Painted Page Series Chris McAuliffe Abstract Between late 1979 and early 1980, Australian artist Jenny Watson painted a sequence of six works, each with the title A Painted Page. Combining gridded, painted reproductions of photographs, newspapers and department store catalogues with roughly painted fields of color, the series brought together a range of recent styles and painterly idioms: pop, photorealism, and non-objective abstraction. Watson’s evocation of styles considered dated, corrupted or redundant by contemporary critics was read as a sign of the decline of modernism and the emergence of a postmodernism inflected with irony and a cool, “new wave” sensibility. An examination of the Painted Pages in the context of Watson’s interest in autobiography and her association with the women’s art movement, however, reveals the works to be subjective, highly personal reflections on memory, self and artistic aspiration. Drawing on Bahktin’s model of the chronotope, this paper argues for a spatio-temporal reading of Watson’s Painted Pages rather than the crude model of stylistic redundancy and succession. Watson’s source images register temporal orders ranging across the daily, the seasonal and the epochal. Her paintings transpose Bahktin’s typology of quotidian, provincial and “adventuristic” time into autobiographical paintings of teenage memories, the vicissitudes of the art world and punk subcultures. Collectively, the Painted Pages established a chronotopic field; neither an aggregation of moments nor a collaged evocation of a period but a point at which Watson closed off one kind of time (an art critical time of currency and succession) and opened up another (of subjectivity and affective experience).

  • Joyce Carol Oates 16
    JOYCE CAROL OATES 16. 6. 1938 Americká prozai čka, básní řka, dramati čka a kriti čka Joyce Carol Oatesová se narodila 16. června 1938 v dělnické rodin ě v Lockportu, ve stát ě New York. Její matka Carolina (rozená Bush) byla ženou v domácnosti, otec Frederic James Oates pracoval jako nástroja ř a konstruktér. Joyce byla nejstarší ze t ří d ětí – její bratr Fred junior se narodil v roce 1943 a sestra Lynn Ann v roce 1956 (je postižena autismem). Oatesová byla vychovávána jako katoli čka, nyní je ale ateistkou. D ětství prožila na rodinné farm ě svých prarodi čů nedaleko Erijského jezera blízko kanadských hranic (kraj Erie získal důležité místo v její románové i povídkové tvorb ě, kde ho nazývá „Eden County“). Velký vliv na ni měla babi čka z otcovy strany, Blanche Woodside, která byla vášnivou čtená řkou. Práv ě ona p řivedla Joyce k literatu ře (v ěnovala jí knihu Alenka v říši div ů od Lewise Carrolla, jež na ni hluboce zap ůsobila). Když ve svých čtrnácti letech dostala Joyce od babi čky psací stroj, za čala se v ěnovat psaní. Již v patnácti letech napsala sv ůj první román, vydavatelé ho však odmítli publikovat s tím, že je příliš depresivní. J. C. Oatesová chodila do stejné jednot řídky jako její matka. Poté navšt ěvovala v ětší p řím ěstské školy a následn ě studovala na st řední škole Williamsville South High School, kde pracovala pro školní noviny. Maturitní zkoušku složila v roce 1956. Díky tomu, že získala stipendium, za čala studovat angli čtinu na Syrakuské univerzit ě, kde absolvovala s vyznamenáním roku 1960.
