The con­ temporary writer "finds Descartes' division of Self and Other impotent , turning instead to a vision of character in which there are no certain­ ties; a character in contemporary fiction cannot necessarily come to 'know herself' or the world around her." I trace the influence of Des­ cartes in a wide variety of traditional fiction and theory , and then propose a new vision of character based on an assumption, borrowed in part from Jaques Derrida, that neither Self nor Other is a "tran­ scendental signified" existing as a "center or origin.11 Following th is proposal I provide readings of several contemporary writers (Borges, Coover , Gaddis and Hawkes) in an attempt to demonstrate th is new vision of character at work in contemporary fiction. I conclude my introduction with a brief demonstration of the same principles at work in my own fictional piece , "Two Halves into the Water ,11 which fol lows the introductory essay. "Two Halves into the Water11 repre­ sents my be lief that 11the 'self' and the 'world around it' are ar­ bitrary decisions." The Dying Star: Character in Contemporary Fiction In a traditional view of character, the Cartesian division of Self from Other plays an important ro le, since it is by coming to know these two entities that character is established. The traditional novelist attempts to let us "get to know" a character , letting us picture the depths beneath her surface . In addition, the character 's surroundings are portrayed as a system that, when the surface is scratched , reveals an underlying logic or reason that helps to in­ dicate the character of the protagonist. There are of course many variations on this theme - ful l knowledge of Self and/or Other - within traditional fiction. By contrast , however , contemporary character tends to be quite different. Notions of Self and/or Other persist (to use Theodore Roethke1s word) in contemporary fiction, creating an illusion of presence that, if pursued , leads not to a definitive abstraction, but instead , farther and farther away from the moment, into a maze of reference. I will argue primarily that the contemporary fiction writer, operating within this maze, despairs of the possibility of knowing either Self or Other , and , without this confidence, she finds Descartes• division of Self and Other impotent , turning instead to a vision of character in which there are no cer­ tainties; a character in contemporary fiction cannot necessarily come to know herself or the world around her. ** Ian Watt ties the novel to Cartesian phi losophy in The Rise of the Novel , a work that I shall consider more or less representative of "traditional" fiction theory: 2 The greatness of Descartes was primari ly one of method , of the thoroughness of his determination to accept nothing on trust ; and his Discourse on Method (1637) and his Med itations did much to bring about the modern assumption whereby pursuit of truth is conceived of as a wholly individual matter, logically inter­ dependent of the tradition of past thought , and indeed as more likely to be arrived at by a departure from it. The novel is the form of literature which most fully reflects this individualist and innovating reorientation. (13) It is in Descartes' "determin�tion to accept nothing on trust" that existence is bifurcated into Self and Other, internal seeker of "truth" and external field of experience. Thus the "character" or Self has two tasks: to delve into each rea lm of the division, into the external and the internal, into epistemology and ontology. As Watt notes above, the division of realms also creates a bias : that of individualism, since the external is not to be trusted . Our traditional notions of character depend on this phi losophy ; we expect to see inside a char­ acter, to see her psychology, her motivations. "This above all: Know thy characters" has become a traditional necessity for the fiction writer, although , as we shall see, some novels rema in traditional in their acceptance of Descartes without delving into Self, but rather into Other. In many traditional novels there seems to be only one imperative that propels the protagon ist from beginning to end: the quest for self-knowledge. E.M. Forster calls this kind of protagonist the "round character" (Aspects 103-1 18). External events and other char­ acters in these novels acquire a surreal quality , since they seem to 3 exist solely as a kind of counterpoint to the protagonist's journey into Self. Most of Dostoyevsky 's characters fal l under this clas­ sification , as do many of Jane Austen 's. I have chosen Herman Hesse 's Siddhartha as representative , since we watch Siddhartha journey from, in the first paragraph , the status of a superficial "handsome Brahmin 's son" (3), to a man who has complete knowledge of his Self in the final pages. In between these points Siddhartha makes vain attempts to reach Self-knowledge vis-a-vis the external world (through women , through money , etc .). But it is only through sec­ lusion that he comes to his understanding: I had to sink to the greatest mental depths, to thoughts of suicide, in order to experience grace, to hear Om again, to sleep deeply again and to awaken refreshed again. I had to become a fool again in order to find Atman in myself, I had to sin in order to live again. (97) Siddhartha is representative of the individual ist bias we spoke of earl ier, in which Self takes precedence over Other. In other traditional novels the external is depicted as a sort of puzzle that, when solved, manages to reveal the internal and its depths. Thus the bias of Se lf is suspended for the duration of the novel unti l, in the final pages, it is reinstated as we discover the internal meanings of the protagonist, having deciphered them from the world around her. Th is occurs frequently in Dickens. In Great Expec­ tations , for example, Pip's confused identity at the beginning of the novel is resolved in the end through his own discoveries. Discovering his identity is what propels the novel , and it is only accomplished through a realization of the Other, the external, which presents a 4 mystery to be solved. In a third kind of traditional novel the bias of individual ism is suspended throughout - in fact, it is the Other that is given prelim­ inary status . I have in mind certain strains of Realism, particular­ ly Natural ism, in which a character's inner psychology is not as impor­ tant as the external. This is the case in a number of Stephen Crane 's works. For example, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to dis­ cuss Maggie's notions of Self in "Magg ie, A Girl of the Streets ." And it would certainly be difficult to maintain that Maggie, either through a process of Self-searching or through a process of interplay with an Other, comes to ful l knowledge of her Se lf. Yet even in fiction like "Magg ie, A Girl of the Streets ," we find Descartes' division of Self from Other at play in the generative logic, appropri ated by a fiction which seeks to demonstrate the miniscule importance of internal psy­ chology in the face of a determining and overpowering Other. To say that we are nothing in the face of an indifferent social or natural machine is at the same time a way of lamenting the powerlessness of the Self. Thus the essential separation of Self from Other remains at the heart of fiction that seeks to demonstrate the obliteration of Self.

  • The Asclepian
    COOPER MEDICAL SCHOOL OF ROWAN UNIVERSITY JOURNAL OF ART & LITERATURE VOLUME V // 2020-2021 THE ASCLEPIAN A Note on the Front Cover Changing with the Times - Telemedicine Pencil on Paper Zain Shahzad, Class of 2024 Seemingly out of nowhere, we have found ourselves in a novel and defining moment that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought upon us. The fact that any mention of the pandemic and its impact on daily life has become cliché testifies to the radical change that a single historical event has brought on all members of society. In medicine, the pandemic has forced the healthcare system to re-evaluate existing technologies and practices, and either adapt to new pressures or altogether disappear. In light of just how drastically the medical field has had to adjust in one year, the cover-piece aims to satirically capture the portrait of medicine during the pandemic. At the center of the piece, the computer screen shows a patient and physician engaged in a video meeting – a depiction of the rise of telemedicine as a mode of routine patient-physician interactions. Beyond the screen, however, the boxy desktop, the flimsy microphone, and the loosely-placed webcam, are outdated technologies that contrast with advanced means of healthcare delivery. This comical juxtaposition underscores the adaptation of existing technologies and the resilience of healthcare professionals in serving the needs of medical-service delivery during the pandemic. However, it is important to note that while serving as a vital bridge between healthcare providers and patients, telemedicine has also contributed to the distance and isolation created by the pandemic.

The range of lockdown conflicts and contradictions captured so sensitively by the individual voices of our members is striking: isolation yet friendship; confusion yet clarity; perseverance yet frustration; fear yet courage; sadness yet humour. Here are small delights in the shadow of darkness. When you look, read, or even listen, I hope you find the experience as uplifting as I did. My thanks go to Jane Luzio and Jenny McGuigan, who have helped every step of the way. I feel sure they will both agree that we can turn to this, a little history, really, in many years to come and say, “Look, this was where we were, what we did, what we thought and felt in the Spring of 2020. This is what we managed to get through…together.” Marianna Fletcher Williams November 2020 Foreword Many thanks, of course, to Marianna for being the inspiration for this wonderful project. NVS has always been a place where people from all over the world can come together to discuss, debate and express their thoughts and ideas. This record of the past year in poetry and prose is a true testament to that.

  • Biography of James Brown from the Chapter Essay by Ricky Vincent
    Biography of James Brown From the Chapter Essay by Ricky Vincent The most important force in the change in black music from blues based to rhythm-based music was James Brown. Brown’s 50-plus year career began in 1952 and lasted until his passing on Christmas Day 2006. Brown was known as “Soul Brother Number One” by fans who appreciated his intensely passionate delivery, his professionalism, and his close community connections. Born in a one-room shack in rural South Carolina, James Brown was raised by his aunts in Augusta, Georgia, who ran a brothel. There Brown learned first hand the nuances and necessities of the hustle, and Brown was soon on the streets of Augusta engaging in odd jobs, and eventually petty crimes and juvenile offenses. At the age of 16 Brown was caught stealing a coat from a car, and was given an eight year sentence. Upon his release in 1952 after only 3 years Brown stayed with the family of local singer Bobby Byrd, and joined Byrd’s group the Gospel Starlighters. Shortly after seeing the popularity of secular performance in the region, the group renamed itself the Famous Flames and performed a repertoire of rhythm and blues hits. Brown developed an appealing raw style that was popular throughout the South at the time. His first recording is now legendary, as the urgently begging ballad “Please, Please, Please” has been a part of his show for 50 years. The James Brown tour became the most celebrated R&B show on the circuit, with a show stopping performance, crisp, clean band and a number of stage antics, giveaways, raffles, and visits from local celebrities.

  • Filibuster 2008
    Filibuster 2008 Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him to the public. Sir Winston Churchill Directly From the Editor!! Friends, full fraught with war-sweat glaring, kismet-dashed with derring-do, doth here present case: Alas the day when all voices cease and the final hours of coiling conundrum crash all together like minute pawns against the wagerly knights and evening kings and kingly queens in furious disparagement dispatch- ing the last breaths of mighty air! Not really. So, as both an editor and a writer, my chiefest frustration is also the greatest gift: I’m not included in this issue! “Humbug!” says Scrooge; “Hilarious!” says I! Aye. The focus changes when a feverish brain must reach for words other than its own, and here presented is the fruit of my labor(ers). No, I didn’t hire a score of goblins to sit in a dungeon and swim through page after page of unfaltering text. No. I swam through page after page, and one of the hardest things an editor must, MUST, do is say “No” to someone. I had to turn down some submissions. Sounding the trumpet from the blistering recesses of the computer lab to the towering heights of the Library’s tenth floor yielded a great wealth of submissions, for which I among others am thoroughly grateful.
