  • Serial Historiography: Literature, Narrative History, and the Anxiety of Truth
    SERIAL HISTORIOGRAPHY: LITERATURE, NARRATIVE HISTORY, AND THE ANXIETY OF TRUTH James Benjamin Bolling A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Minrose Gwin Jennifer Ho Megan Matchinske John McGowan Timothy Marr ©2016 James Benjamin Bolling ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ben Bolling: Serial Historiography: Literature, Narrative History, and the Anxiety of Truth (Under the direction of Megan Matchinske) Dismissing history’s truths, Hayden White provocatively asserts that there is an “inexpugnable relativity” in every representation of the past. In the current dialogue between literary scholars and historical empiricists, postmodern theorists assert that narrative is enclosed, moribund, and impermeable to the fluid demands of history. My critical intervention frames history as a recursive, performative process through historical and critical analysis of the narrative function of seriality. Seriality, through the material distribution of texts in discrete components, gives rise to a constellation of entimed narrative strategies that provide a template for human experience. I argue that serial form is both fundamental to the project of history and intrinsically subjective. Rather than foreclosing the historiographic relevance of storytelling, my reading of serials from comic books to the fiction of William Faulkner foregrounds the possibilities of narrative to remain open, contingent, and responsive to the potential fortuities of historiography. In the post-9/11 literary and historical landscape, conceiving historiography as a serialized, performative enterprise controverts prevailing models of hermeneutic suspicion that dominate both literary and historiographic skepticism of narrative truth claims and revives an ethics responsive to the raucous demands of the past.

Participants heard of the complexities of communities and the need to be inclusive in bringing together diverse community constituents in planning efforts. Panelists insisted on the need for leaders not just to wait for people to come with community development ideas but to go out and create good projects. And after that stage, community leaders need to be aggressive about getting people involved. Participants in the conference heard of ambitious projects such as Southern In 1963, while he was a senior in high school, Bill Clinton traveled to Washington, D.C., Bancorp, which combines for-profit as part of Boys Nation, a special youth leadership conference sponsored by the American banking with nonprofit economic Legion. The group was invited to the White House, where young Clinton shook hands development in the Mississippi Delta. with President John F.

Milking the MemoriesBy Lee WhitlockWalker is a Southern storyteller. He more than fits his own definition of one who speaks with dozens of side tales (parentheses). Webster calls these parenthetical expressions "a remark or passage that departs from the theme of a discourse." Walker may depart from the theme, but he always returns, and it always fits. He says: "The mark of a good storyteller is: Have a whole shelf full of shoeboxes of details.... It's like those ballad singers at the Scottish lords who improvised new verses for those ballads every night...." What music this Southern balladeer makes especially as he explains the use of the Southern front porch for storytelling, visiting, shelling peas, and an explanation of the etiquette of porch visiting. He even makes a detour (parentheses) to explain how front and back porches differ (shell peas on the front porch, shrimp on the back).

  • Botteghe Oscure”
    IN THE GARDEN OF LETTERS: MARGUERITE CAETANI AND THE INTERNATIONAL LITERARY REVIEW “BOTTEGHE OSCURE” Lorenzo Salvagni A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages (Italian). Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Federico Luisetti (director) Dino Cervigni Ennio Rao Roberto Dainotto Amy Chambless © 2013 Lorenzo Salvagni ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT LORENZO SALVAGNI: In the Garden of Letters: Marguerite Caetani and the International Literary Review “Botteghe Oscure” (Under the direction of Federico Luisetti) This study focuses on the international, multilingual literary review Botteghe Oscure (1948-60), which has so far received undeservedly little attention, and its editor, the American-Italian Marguerite Chapin Caetani (1880-1963). In spite of her active role as founder and editor of two modernist anthologies, Marguerite Caetani has long been considered merely as a “lady bountiful” for the multitude of authors she supported during her forty-year career in publishing. Building on an extensive study of Caetani’s correspondence, which includes a great amount of unpublished material, my dissertation presents Marguerite Caetani as a protagonist of twentieth-century transatlantic literature and sheds light on her contribution to the formation of a new literary canon in post-war Italy. iii Marguerite Chapin Caetani (1880-1963) Fig. 1.
