Dimensions of Erewhon: The Modern Orpheus in Guy Davenport's "The Dawn in Erewhon" Abstract In "The Dawn in Erewhon", the concluding novella of Tatlin!, Guy Davenport explores the myth of Orpheus in the context of two storylines: Adriaan van Hovendaal, a thinly veiled version of Ludwig Wittgenstein, and an updated retelling of Samuel Butler's utopian novel Erewhon. Davenport tells the story in a disjunctive style and uses the Orpheus myth as a symbol to refer to a creative sensibility that has been lost in modern technological civilization but is recoverable through art.

  • Thinking Like Grass, with Deleuze in Education?1
    Thinking like Grass, with Deleuze in Education?1 XIAO-JIU LING York University Any beginning is difficult. To begin to talk about Gilles Deleuze is particularly difficult. For one thing, he is a philosopher of immense learning which is tightly tied to his rich studies in French or European intellectual history. He confessed to Michel Cressole in his 1973 letter: “I belong to a generation, one of the last generations, that was more or less bludgeoned to death with the history of philosophy… I myself ‘did’ history of philosophy for a long time, read books on this or that author” (Neg., p. 5-6). Indeed, this aspect of his learning is evident in any of his writings. Hence, for someone like me who had meager background in philosophy and in French literature, to start to read Deleuze was and still is a difficult endeavour. Secondly, Deleuze was an experimenter, a player [joueur]. Not only did he play with canonical works handed down from the past in the western philosophical tradition, ranging from his earlier studies on and with work of Hume, Nietzsche, then Kant, Bergson, Spinoza, and later Leibniz (in the order of his related publications), but he also experimented with thinking beyond the traditional boarders of philosophy. In his own words, he “compensated in various ways” (Neg., p. 5-6) in finding new rules to philosophizing. In this effort, he drew sources from and critiqued in the domain of Journal of the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies Volume 7 Number 2 2009 Journal of the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies psychoanalysis, literature (most notably Proust, Sacher-Masoch and Kafka) as well as other areas of the arts, such as painting, theatre and cinema.

  • Individuality and Utopian Desire in Post-Darwinian Literature
    Island Studies Journal, 12(2), 2017, pp. 267-280 Dreaming of islands: individuality and utopian desire in post-Darwinian literature Niall Sreenan University College London, United Kingdom [email protected] ABSTRACT: This paper conducts an exploration of the post-Darwinian literary and philosophical imaginary through the topos of the island. Drawing upon philosophical reflections by Gilles Deleuze on the nature of material islands and their psychic function as fantasies of transcendence, I argue that the island takes on new significance in a post-Darwinian world by offering an image of human independence that is unavailable under the regime of biological evolution. By conducting comparative readings of Michel Houellebecq’s The Possibility of an Island, Aldous Huxley’s Island, Samuel Butler’s Erewhon, and H.G. Wells’ The Island of Dr Moreau, instigated by the critical apparatus developed with my reading of Deleuze, I establish the existence of a genealogy of post-Darwinian narratives in which the island facilitates a specifically utopian dream of individual autonomy, which is bound up with the ideology of capitalism. Taken together, I argue, these works emphasise the importance and complex position of the island in the post-Darwinian imaginary. In these works, islands neither allow for simplistic affirmations of such utopian, capitalist fantasies of human sovereignty nor deterministic pessimism, but explore critically these ideas as they co-exist in tension.

  • Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories Before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions
    Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions Geoffrey Jones Working Paper 13-024 August 28, 2012 Copyright © 2012 by Geoffrey Jones Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Entrepreneurship in the Natural Food and Beauty Categories before 2000: Global Visions and Local Expressions Geoffrey Jones Harvard Business School August 2012 Abstract This working paper examines the creation of the global natural food and beauty categories before 2000. This is shown to have been a lengthy process of new category creation involving the exercise of entrepreneurial imagination. Pioneering entrepreneurs faced little consumer demand for natural products, and little consumer knowledge of what they entailed. The creation of new categories involved three overlapping waves of entrepreneurship. The first involved making the ideological case for natural products. This often entailed investment in education and publishing activities. Second, entrepreneurs engaged in the creation of industry associations which could advocate, as well as give the nascent industry credibility and create standards. Finally, entrepreneurs established retail stores, supply and distribution networks, and created brands. Entrepreneurial cognition and motivation frequently lay in individual, and very local, experiences, but many of the key pioneers were also highly globalized in their world views, with strong perception of how small, local efforts related to much bigger and global pictures. A significant sub-set of the influential historical figures were articulate in expressing strong religious convictions.
