  • Aristokratische Schriftstellerinnen Österreichs Und Deutschlands: Ein “Sonderweg” Der Frauenemanzipation Im 19
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ARISTOKRATISCHE SCHRIFTSTELLERINNEN ÖSTERREICHS UND DEUTSCHLANDS: EIN “SONDERWEG” DER FRAUENEMANZIPATION IM 19. JAHRHUNDERT? Susanne Nicole Van Leuven, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Elke P. Frederiksen, Department of Germanic Studies This study focuses on a variety of texts by Austrian and German aristocratic women writers who are known for their high social status within their historical and political contexts. They are much less known, however, for their writings. My categories of investigation include social class and gender, with particular emphasis on emancipatory aspects of the life and works of these aristocratic women, as portrayed in a variety of literary and non-literary texts. Selected writings, such as Das poetische Tagebuch by Empress Elisabeth of Austria (1835-1898), Die Waffen nieder! by Baroness Bertha von Suttner (1843-1914) and Tropenkoller by Countess Frieda von Bülow (1847-1909) reveal that, despite groundbreaking achievements, these women were not affiliated with – or even interested in – the organized bourgeois women’s movement. They simply led by example, widening the range of their personal space (quite literally as the geographic zone and allegorically as their own creation and development of ‘self’) beyond the limits of “proper” femininity. The methodological paradigms of Cultural Studies and Gender Studies form the basis of my analyses of these women’s texts; additionally I am including theories of Postcolonial Studies in order to investigate the concepts of ‘space’,

  • Ethnicity, Lyricism, and John Berryman's Dream Songs
    Imaginary Jews and True Confessions: Ethnicity, Lyricism, and John Berryman’s Dream Songs ANDREW GROSS . Jews, who have changed much in the course of history, are certainly no race, [but] the anti‐Semites in a way are a race, because they always use the same slogans, display the same attitudes, indeed almost look alike. —Max Horkheimer1 John Berryman’s “The Imaginary Jew,” published in the Kenyon Review of 1945, is in some ways a rather programmatic account of one man’s conversion from parlor anti‐ Semitism to a feeling of solidarity with Jews. The climax occurs when a bigot accuses the narrator of being Jewish in order to discredit him in an argument over Roosevelt’s foreign policy prior to the American entry into World War II. The accusation completely unnerves the narrator in ways he does not immediately understand, and he is shocked to see that it discredits him in the eyes of the crowd, which has assembled at Union Square to hear impromptu debates. Later, after leaving the scene of his embarrassment, he decides to lay claim to this mistaken, or imaginary, identity, and comes to the following conclusion about the nature of prejudice: “My persecutors were right: I was a Jew. The imaginary Jew I was was as real as the imaginary Jew hunted down, on other nights and days, in a real Jew. Every murderer strikes the mirror, the lash of the torturer falls on the mirror and cuts the real image, and the real and the imaginary blood flow down together.”2 The story garnered some attention when it appeared in 1945.

  • Charles Wright, Hailed As One of the Leading American Poets of His Generation, Has Been Named the Winner of Yale’S 2013 Bollingen Prize for American Poetry
    CONTACT: Dorie Baker 203-432-8553 [email protected] For Immediate Release: January 22, 2013 2013 Bollingen poetry prize goes to Charles Wright New Haven, Conn.—Charles Wright, hailed as one of the leading American poets of his generation, has been named the winner of Yale’s 2013 Bollingen Prize for American Poetry. The Bollingen Prize in American Poetry is among the most prestigious prizes given to American writers. Established by Paul Mellon in 1949, it is awarded biennially by the Yale University Library to an American poet for the best book published during the previous two years or for lifetime achievement in poetry. The prize includes a cash award of $150,000. “A poet of remarkable scope and ambition, Wright’s lyrics are like verbal scroll paintings, considering a vast landscape but exploring every aspect in exquisite detail, a stylistic combination that properly figures both the significance and insignificance of the human,” noted the three-member judging committee. “In poems that render the poignancy of moving time, the constancy of the landscape, and the mystery of the invisible, Wright binds the secular and the sacred in language charged with urgency and grace.” The judges awarded Wright the Bollingen Prize for his 2012 book, “Bye-and-Bye: Selected Late Poems,” describing it as “an extended meditation in which we sense ‘splinters of the divine’ in the phenomena and cyclic changes of the natural world, and in the elusive reaches of memory, myth, and history. “At the same time,” they noted, “this volume succeeds in capturing the Morandi-like quality that Wright describes as ‘the metaphysics of the quotidian’.” While stationed in Italy during four years of service in the U.S.

    The Knight and the Troubadour Dag Hammarskjöld and Ezra Pound The Knight and the Troubadour | Troubadour the and Knight The Fifty years ago, on 18 September 1961, Dag Hammarskjöld died in the plane crash near Ndola in Northern Rhodesia (today’s Zambia). The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation commemorates the event in many different ways, one of which is the publication of this remarkable story of a poet and a diplomat that will interest and intrigue many readers. Little Marie-Noëlle Pound Ezra and Hammarskjöld Dag The Knight and the Troubadour, which reveals a previously unexplored facet of Hammarskjöld’s life and documents the extent of Ezra Pound’s influence among Swedish poets and writers, marks a breakthrough in literary history and even re-writes history to some extent. For Dag Hammarskjöld, the diplomat, there were no boundaries between poetry and politics, and, with tragic consequences, the same was true for Ezra Pound, the poet. isbn: 978-91-85214-60-0 Marie-Noëlle Little Marie-Noëlle Little is a Professor of French at Utica College, Utica, N.Y.

    Projective Citizenship— The Reimagining of the Citizen in Post-War American Poetry Lytton Jackson Smith Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 i © 2012 Lytton Jackson Smith All rights reserved ii ABSTRACT Projective Citizenship— The Reimagining of the Citizen in Post-War American Poetry Lytton Jackson Smith This dissertation examines the work of four poets writing in a projective or “open field” tradition in post-war America: Charles Olson, Amiri Baraka/LeRoi Jones, Susan Howe, and Myung Mi Kim. It considers the way these poets engage, via innovations in poetic form, with conceptions of the citizen and meanings of citizenship at different historical moments in the United States. Drawing on recent developments in citizenship theory which have focussed on what Engin Isin calls “acts of citizenship,” “Projective Citizenship—The Reimagining of the Citizen in Post-War American Poetry” suggests that poetry might offer a means for imagining alternative notions of the citizen, conceiving of citizens as active agents rather than passive subjects. iii i Contents Acknowledgments ii Preface iii Introduction: Creative Acts of Poetry: The Bollingen Prize, the Citizen-Poet, and Projective Citizenship 1 Exiling the Transformative Poet The Bollingen Prize: Ezra Pound’s Tenuous Citizenship Creative Acts: Poets and the Claim to Citizenship Reimagining the Citizen Projective Verse—Projective Citizenship “To Try To Get Down One Citizen
