Processing History Preliminary processing by Eddie Yeghiayan. Processing completed by Jeffrey Atteberry in 1998 and Kurt Ozment in 2001. Historical Background Ihab Habib Hassan was a prominent critic, scholar, and theorist in the academic study of literature. While focusing his scholarship on the post-war novel, he was among the first to articulate a concept of the postmodern. He was born in Cairo, Egypt on October 17, 1925. The son of a civil servant, he spent his youth in Egypt and eventually attended the University of Cairo to study electrical engineering. Upon graduation in 1946, he received the prestigious Egyptian Educational Mission fellowship and left for the United States to continue his studies in electrical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Hassan has lived in the United States ever since. Hassan completed his Master of Science degree in 1948, but soon decided to abandon engineering for an academic career in literature. He began a doctoral program in English literature at the University of Pennsylvania, receiving his Master's degree in 1950 and his doctorate in 1953. Hassan began his professional career in 1952 as an instructor of English at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. In 1954 he obtained a position at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. He was later named the Benjamin L. Waite Professor of English and served as the director of both the College of Letters and the Center for Humanities. In 1970 he joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee as the Vilas Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature, a position he continues to hold as of 2002. During his time at Wesleyan, Hassan published work on contemporary and avant-garde literature, and he has continued to focus on these themes throughout his career. The major publications from his early period are Radical Innocence and The Literature of Silence: Henry Miller & Samuel Beckett. In these works, he attempts to describe the characteristics that distinguish post-war fiction from the literature of high modernism. Hassan continued to pursue the same theme in his Dismemberment of Orpheus, in which he introduced the term "postmodern." Along with Jean-François Lyotard, Hassan was one of the first scholars to articulate a conception of the postmodern, and he has devoted a large portion of his academic career to this. In his best-known works, he describes formal characteristics of the postmodern, such as discontinuity, Guide to the Ihab Hassan papers MS.C.005 2 MS.C.005 indeterminacy, and irony. During this period, he also espoused a concept of the "critic as innovator." His major statements in these regards have been Dismemberment of Orpheus, Paracriticisms, and The Right Promethean Fire. Although Hassan has always been engaged in dialogue with the major trends of literary theory, he cannot be easily classified as belonging to any specific school of literary criticism. During the 1980s, beginning with the publication of his autobiography Out of Egypt, Hassan began to move away from articulating the formal characteristics of postmodernism. In particular, his book Selves at Risk examines themes of quest in contemporary literature, and Between the Eagle and the Sun focuses on cultural exchange between Japan and the United States. Hassan died in 2015. 1925 Ihab Habib Hassan born in Cairo, Egypt on October 17th. 1946 Immigrates to the United States to study engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. 1948 Receives M.S. degree from University of Pennsylvania. 1950 Receives M.A. degree from University of Pennsylvania. 1952 Holds position as instructor in English at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. 1953 Receives Ph. D. degree in English literature from University of Pennsylvania. 1954 Begins as an instructor in English at Wesleyan University and becomes professor of English in 1962. 1956 Becomes a United States citizen. 1961 Radical Innocence: The Contemporary American Novel 1963 Aspects du Hero Americain Contemporain 1966 Fulbright lecturer in Grenoble, France. 1968 The Literature of Silence: Henry Miller and Samuel Beckett 1970 Joins the faculty at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee as the Vilas Research Professor of English and Comparative Literature. 1971 The Dismemberment of Orpheus: Toward a Postmodern Literature 1973 Contemporary American Literature, 1945-1972 1974 Fulbright lecturer in Nice, France. 1975 Paracriticisms: Seven Speculations of the Times 1980 The Right Promethean Fire: Imagination, Science, and Cultural Change 1986 Out of Egypt: Fragments of an Autobiography 1987 The Postmodern Turn: Essays in Postmodern Theory and Culture 1990 Selves at Risk: Patterns of Quest in Contemporary American Letter 1995 Rumors of Change: Essays of Five Decades 1996 Between the Eagle and the Sun: Traces of Japan Collection Scope and Content Summary This collection documents the academic work of literary critic, scholar, and theorist Ihab Hassan. The bulk of these materials reflect his work on American fiction of the later twentieth century, in addition to his extensive writings on postmodernism, literary criticism, and cultural studies. The collection primarily contains holograph manuscripts, typescripts, offprints, and reprints of Hassan's published monographs and articles, in addition to professional papers and lecture materials. Some audio and video recordings are included. The publication history of Hassan's writings is quite complicated. In numerous cases, he used the exact same or very similar titles for very different works, but he would also rework essentially the same content matter under quite different titles. As far as such distinctions can be made, the material has been grouped together according to the similarity of the content. Very often, a particular work has both published and lecture versions, where the lecture version constitutes either an earlier version of the published essay or a later rewriting of a published work. In either case, all lectures that have strong connections with a published work appear with the published version. A few pieces were published on multiple occasions with a slight change in content. In such cases, the essay has been placed according to the earliest publication date. Certain conventions were used in the container list to indicate format and variant titles. Manuscripts not explicitly identified as holographs are typescripts. Numerous essays are represented by draft, lecture, and published versions. Whenever possible, the items were placed in chronological order to reflect the process of composition. When such determinations could not be made, the published version was placed last. In all cases, the published title is used as a heading, and any item with a variant title is listed under that heading. A bibliography of Hassan's works compiled by Eddie Yeghiayan is available in Special Collections and Archives. In 2017 a small addition of photographs, literary correspondence, notebooks, and one flash drive was added. Collection Arrangement This collection is arranged in seven series. Series 1.

Between the Eagle and the Sun, 205) Out of Egypt, into middles, passages, falling into true time(. Out of Egypt, 113) Criticism should learn about playful discontinuity and become itself less than the sum of its parts. It should offer the reader empty spaces, silences, in which he can meet himself in the presence of literature. This is paracriticism(. Paracriticism, 25) Key Words: I. Hassan, travelogue, autobiography, paracriticism, postmodernism 1. Introduction Ihab Hassan(1925~ ) is an eminent scholar and critic in the study of contemporary literature and culture. He is the author of more than dozen books and some 200 articles related with Western literature, criticism, and postmodernism. Hassan is counted among the first to launch into the study of postmodernism, and, therefore, sometimes called the ‘father of postmodernism.’ (1) The two-column table of modernism and postmodernism Hassan compiled has been regarded as a standard gauge of the differences between them, and ‘immanence’ and ‘indeterminacy’ expounded in it as twin traits of postmodernism.(2) Hassan is a practitioner as well as theorist of postmodernism in that his works, highly academic, are tinged with postmodern traits: playful, fragmentary, self-reflexive.

  • The Idea of the Postmodern: a History
    www.facebook.com/kurf.ku www.kurfku.blogspot.com KURF:Karachi University Research Forum ﺟﺎﻣﻌﮧ ﮐﺮاﭼﯽ داراٌﻟﺘﺤﻘﯿﻖ ﺑﺮاﺋﮯ ﻋﻠﻢ و داﻧﺶ www.facebook.com/kurf.ku www.kurfku.blogspot.com THE IDEA OF THE POSTMODERN The question of what postmodernism actually means is not an easy one to answer: it has meant different things to different people at different times, rising from humble literary-critical origins in the 1950s to a level of global conceptualization in the 1980s. How does the student approaching the subject for the first time distinguish between the various conceptual levels at which the terms ‘postmodern’ and ‘postmodernism’ have been employed, or between the diverse interpretations of the postmodern that—sometimes consecutively and at other times simultaneously—have been put forward over the past thirty years? In The Idea of the Postmodern, Hans Bertens clears up the confusion by tracing and analyzing the debate in an accessible way and witty style. He sets out the interdisciplinary aspects, the critical debates, and the key theorists of postmodernism, and discusses the relationship between postmodernism and poststructuralism, and postmodernism and modernism. The Idea of the Postmodern is an enjoyable and indispensable introductory text for today’s students. Hans Bertens is Professor and Director of American Studies at the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. He has written extensively on the subjects of postwar fiction, popular literature, mass culture, and postmodern theory.

Modernism and Postmodernism. The Margins of Articulation Abstract The difference between 'Modernism' and 'Postmodernism' is not one of definitions. The latter is atherr a radicalization of a tendency inherent already in Modernism: calling into question the underlying principles of definitions, delimitations and boundaries. If, in Modernism, this tendency is marked by an increasing self-reflective gesture of the text, Postmodernism radicalizes this self-reflection ot the point where the self-reflective circle and its closure are broken. The subversion of demarcation takes place not only on the semantic level, but on the level of the text's literal and linguistic qualities. Such a move displaces particularly any totalizing project, which, for example, is implied in Jürgen Habermas's recent critique of Post-modernism.

I return to it by way of pluralism, which itself has become the irritable condition of postmodern discourse, consuming many pages of both critical and uncritical inquiry. Why? Why pluralism now? This question recalls another that Kant raised two centuries ago-"Was heisstAufkliirung?"-meaning, "Who are we now?" The answer was a signal meditation on historical presence, as Michel Foucault saw.' But to meditate on that topic today- and this is my central claim-is really to inquire "Washeisst Postmodernmismus?" Pluralism in our time finds (if not founds) itself in the social, aesthetic, and intellectual assumptions of postmodernism-finds its ordeal, its rightness, there.

Hartman as a means of interpreting postmodern literature. Contemporary literary criticism has acknowledged the value of Hartman’s work in thinking about contemporary culture but, until now, there have not been any attempts to apply his interpretative methods to the reading of postmodern fiction. By identifying some of Hartman’s main concerns and drawing on his revisions of his theory, this thesis offers a case study of a selection of postmodern texts, which are characteristic of the challenges that postmodern literature presents.
