  • Partisans Re-Viewed
    PARTISANS RE-VIEWED Anne Thompson Submitted to the Institute of Education, University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 1990 BIBL LONDIN UNIV ABSTRACT The following thesis is a case study, a history, of -a magazine, Partisan Review, over a period of twenty years (1934-1954) treating it as a series of texts together constituting a transforming discourse. A discourse constructed in and against a discourse of Americanism, itself constructed through an interplay with representations of Europe. Partisan Review was initiated in 1934 within the institutional and intellectual framework of the American Communist Party as an organ of the John Reed Club. In 1937 formal links with the Communist Party were severed and the magazine reappeared as nominally independent but with clear Trotskyist sympathies. After a period of non-alignment without any explicit political programme, an editorial in 1952 declared a neo- Liberal and anti-communist support for "Our Country and Our Culture". It is asserted that these shifts did not constitute radical breaks, but were constructed gradually. The thesis attempts to make the discourse and its process of transformation intelligible to the reader by mapping the emergence and inter-relations of key concepts (including Aestheticism, Alienation, National, Intellectual, Science.) It is argued that each concept or element was defined both by its opposition to an antithetical concept and its place in the discourse - by the specific combination or articulation of the elements. Three editorial texts from 1937, 1941 and 1952, are taken as exemplars, momentary crystallisations of this transformatory practice, and each is subjected to an analysis which attempts to unpick and to gloss its changing component elements and the transforming articulations between elements.

  • Communist Editorial Cartoons in the 1920S and the Issue of Race
    Black and White and Red All Over: Communist Editorial Cartoons in the 1920s and the Issue of Race Alexander M. Dunphy Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Alexander M. Dunphy All rights reserved Abstract The U.S. Communist Party’s (CP) fight for racial justice is one of the most important and neglected chapters in the history of civil rights struggles in the United States. When it is studied the focus tends to be on the 1930s, however this conventional periodization ignores the dramatic growth in the Party’s understanding of race during the 1920s. A focus on this period forces a reexamination of the relationship between the CP and the Soviet–based Communist International (Comintern). Rather than dictated from Moscow, the CP’s understanding of the issues facing African Americans evolved through a dialogue between Communists of all races around the world. This challenges the assumptions of the “Cold War” historians, who paint the Party as puppets of Russia, as well as “revisionist” histories, which tend to ignore the Comintern by focusing on the Party’s grassroots. By neither denouncing nor ignoring the relationship between international and domestic Communists, I show how this exchange provided a catalyst to the CP’s changing position on race. This not only has implications for the historiography of the Communism, but also sheds light on current debates over the feasibility of the political left as a vehicle for addressing issues of race. In this thesis, I address this omission by analyzing previously unexamined editorial cartoons from Communist Party publications during the 1920s to highlight the CP’s changing views on race.

Its purpose, obviously, is to add a significant bib Iiog raph ical resource. But more important, it offers itself as a tool that we think can be of great assistance in the further production of Marxist theoretical work. In the world of books and magazines indexes are almost universally a taken-for-granted commodity. Normally produced by nameless drudges and viewed as purely mechanical adjuncts, they are rarely given critical attention. Yet, as all librarians, scholarly researchers and bibliophiles know, they can, and often do, serve an extremely importation function.

  • TOTALITARIANISM and PARTISAN REVIEW Benli
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: DIALECTICS OF DISENCHANTMENT: TOTALITARIANISM AND PARTISAN REVIEW Benli Moshe Shechter, Ph.D., 2011 Directed By: Professor Vladimir Tismaneanu, Department of Government and Politics This dissertation takes the literary and culturally modern magazine, Partisan Review (1934-2003), as its case study, specifically recounting its early intellectual history from 1934 to 1941. During this formative period, its contributing editors broke from their initial engagement with political radicalism and extremism to re-embrace the demo-liberalism of America's foundational principles during, and in the wake of, the Second World War. Indeed, Partisan Review 's history is the history of thinking and re-thinking “totalitarianism” as its editors journeyed through the dialectics of disenchantment. Following their early (mis)adventures pursuant of the radical politics of literature, their break in the history of social and political thought, sounding pragmatic calls for an end to ideological fanaticism, was one that then required courage, integrity, and a belief in the moral responsibility of humanity. Intellectuals long affiliated with the journal thus provide us with models of eclectic intellectual life in pursuit of the open society, as does, indeed, the Partisan Review .

An important ab- stract expressionist painter, Hartigan was included in the famous show Twelve Americans at the Museum of Modern Art in 1956. Her friends and correspondents included Frank O’Hara, Larry Rivers, Barbara Guest, and Joan Mitchell.

    , DO OUR PART go~ August, 1933 15 cents DO OUR PART to~ , August, 1933 15 cents I I- '-;-, I I Are You a Victim of SPECTATORISM? Spectatorism is a dangerous disease. It destroys the red corpuscles of the blood. Millions of Americans suf­ fer from it. Especially among the white' collar intellectual class. It leaves its victims helpless, torpid, inert. It produces a chronic condition of mental lethargy, and acute pessimism. The sufferer develops hallucinations such as these (collected from case histories of typical subjects studied): "There won't be a revolution in America in fifty years" "The Communists in America have no leadership." "The Communists in America are led by a bunch of Jews and foreigners" "The American revolution will have to be different from ,the one in Russia." "I'll join the revolutionary movement later, when it really amounts to something." "I can't take a chance on losing my job now." ;' :, ' The infectious germs of this malady are especiall y prevalent around Greenwich Village, and in literary cir- cles everywhere. If they have fastened themselves upon you-take steps at once. You haven't a moment to lose! The treatment requires getting out in the open air, preferably in working class neighborhoods. Change your aSsocIates; your mode of life, your reading habits, your authors. Take some light revolutionary exercise regularly. Ask yourself these questions daily: "Am I really worth anything to anyone-or anything?" "How much of my. time or money have ever been given to furthering the revolutionary movement?" "Based not on my words, or thoughts, but On the day.to.day acts of my life.
