  • Reviews Bruce Springsteen: American Poet and Prophet by Donald L
    121 Reviews Bruce Springsteen: American Poet and Prophet by Donald L. Deardorff II. (Lanham, Maryland; Toronto; Plymouth, U.K.: The Scarecrow Press, 2014. 216 pages). Donald L. Deardorff II’s Bruce Springsteen: American Poet and Prophet presents the latest survey of the work of Bruce Springsteen. Deardorff offers the newest volume in Scarecrow Press’ series of introductory works on “rock, pop, and culture” that explore music and musicians within their social and cultural contexts. Given the introductory nature of the series, readers should not approach Bruce Springsteen: American Poet and Prophet expecting major scholarly interventions in the field of Springsteen Studies. Rather, Deardorff’s work should be assessed as an introductory text, one which scholars should judge based on whether it effectively provides undergraduate students and readers outside the academy with a suitable introduction to Springsteen’s music and the reasons for its popularity. Yet, in this task Deardorff definitively falls short. His methodology does not successfully answer his guiding question, and he demonstrates a troubling lack of familiarity with Springsteen’s canon. Those hoping for an introduction to Springsteen from an academic perspective should look elsewhere for a guided foray into his music, biography, and career history. In his introduction, Deardorff addresses the question of how to organize a book about Springsteen, a figure whose length of career and range of musical styles belies simple explanation. Deardorff elects to organize his book thematically. Unlike, for instance, Rob Kirkpatrick’s Magic in the Night: The Words and Music of Bruce Springsteen (2009), Deardorff does not chronologically progress through Springsteen’s albums and the biographical and historical context of their conception, release, and reception.

  • AESTHETICS and POSTMODERN CINEMA Frank Burke
    Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory/Revue canadienne de theorie politique et sociale, Volume XII, Numbers 1-2 (1988) . AESTHETICS AND POSTMODERN CINEMA Frank Burke The essays in this section all place themselves within contemporary post- essentialist discourse. In addressing contemporary film, they turn up yet more evidence ofthe disappearance of history, politics, art, narrative (grand and otherwise), significance, causality, the subject, and even gender. At the same time the films they address tend, in their anti-essentialism, to reverse an oft-cited postmodern maxim. In his The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge, Jean-Frangois Lyotard talks of postmodernism presenting the unpresentable ("put[ting] forward the unpresentable in presentation itself') .' In contradistinction, many of the films discussed in this section "unpresent the presentable" - a strategy which, I would ar- gue, not only asserts the impossiblity ofrepresentation in a post-essentialist context but also frees the spectator from presentation, hence from the domination of the text. Much of what follows cannot be defined solely as postmodern. "Multi- ple coding" techniques such as montage, collage, citation, etc. are moder- nist. What I call "othering" can undoubtedly be found in literature of earlier periods. And much of what is said of counterfeiting in To Live and Die in L.A. may also apply to Andre Gide's Les Faux-Monnayeurs (1926) . However, the proliferation of strategies whose effect is to efface presence in the very method of presentation can
