BEWARE OF MAD JOHN: POLITICAL THEOLOGY, PSYCHEDELIC AESTHETICS AND LITERATURE __________ A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Arts and Humanities University of Denver __________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy __________ by Roger K. Green November 2013 Advisor: Clark Davis ©Copyright by Roger K. Green 2013 All Rights Reserved Author: Roger K. Green Title: Beware of Mad John: Political Theology, Psychedelic Aesthetics and Literature Advisor: Clark Davis Degree Date: November 2013 ABSTRACT Using the discourse of Political Theology as a mode of enquiry we can overcome a longstanding tension between aesthetics and history that characterized much of twentieth century thought. Focusing on literary and occasionally musical works from the mid twentieth century, my aim is to show how works displaying psychedelic aesthetics are important venues for political deliberation with regard to citizenship. Through affective means, psychedelic aesthetics re- imagine the boundaries of liberal subjectivity through a consciousness expansion and return from that expansion. The subject who returns from a psychedelic “experience” – which can be attained in various ways – comes to ethically realign and re-norm his or her “self” according to a moral authority beyond the authority of the nation state. While critical of liberalism on one level, this “expanded” citizenship ultimately offers liberalism political advice in crisis situations by performing a public sacrifice on the state and disseminating social responsibility to individuals. Psychedelic aesthetics perform this ‘public sacrifice’ through affective enchantment, using spiritual and religious rhetoric to change the relationship between citizen and state. Because artistic works of the mid twentieth century are essentially “ahead of the game” regarding states of exception and economic crises, it is to this period that we should look for methods of cultural recovery in current ones. But this requires that we take both aesthetic and religious enchantment seriously in a post-secular world. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my dissertation committee: Clark Davis, Linda Bensel- Meyers and Laird Hunt. Clark was graciously willing to be my advisor and my dissertation has its roots in his Early American Aesthetics course during winter quarter of 2010. I would also like to thank my fourth reader, Carl Raschke, not only for participating in my defense but for writing many books that were enormously useful to my project. I have had helpful feedback at various stages of this project from professor Eleanor McNees. Professor Alexandra Hennessey Olsen oversaw some of my ancient mythical work. I would especially like to thank Selah Saterstrom for many discussions concerning hermeneutics, writing and re-enchantment in general. I am grateful to Jan Gorak’s work on intellectual history and his ability to defend the uses of literature in his lectures. I am grateful to Rob Gilmor, Kristy Firebaugh and Dan Singer for meeting regularly to share our writing and to Joshua Ramos for discussions about religious theory and book recommendations. I am also continually indebted to some professors who believed in my potential early on: Joan Griffin, Elizabeth Holtze, Cindy Carlson, Jake Adam York, Ron Miles, Catherine Kemp, Mitchell Aboulafia, Myra Bookman and Rob Metcalf. I am also thankful to countless hours of aesthetic discussions with Jennifer Denrow, Joe Sampson and Colin Bricker. This is dedicated with love to E. P. and “misplaced tenderness.” iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One: Introduction: Liberal Subjectivity, Religion, and the State .......................... 1 Methodological Problems in the Disciplines ........................................................ 14 Political Theology ................................................................................................. 20 Subjectivity ........................................................................................................... 25 Psychedelic Aesthetics and Political Theology .................................................... 31 The Question of Citizenship ................................................................................. 37 Psychedelic Aesthetics and Spirituality ................................................................ 45 A Note on Method ................................................................................................ 55 What is to Follow .................................................................................................. 60 Chapter Two: European Influences .................................................................................. 61 Earlier European Roots ......................................................................................... 71 Artaud and Enchantment ....................................................................................... 75 Weber and Heidegger ........................................................................................... 80 The European Social Imaginary ............................................................................ 87 One Dimensional Man .......................................................................................... 88 Manifestations in the 1960s .................................................................................. 99 Chapter Three: The Return to ‘Nature’ and the Problem of the Perennial ..................... 104 The Problem of the Perennial ............................................................................. 111 Analyzing Psychedelic Literature ....................................................................... 124 Liberalism and Subjectivity ................................................................................ 131 Chapter Four: Theorizing the Psychedelic Experience ................................................... 142 The Professional Discourse of Psychedelics in the 1960s .................................. 163 Chapter Five: Psychedelic Citizenship and Re-enchantment: Affective Aesthetics as Political Instantiation ...................................................................................................... 172 What’s for Tea, Mum? ........................................................................................ 182 Narrative Comparisons ....................................................................................... 191 Psychedelic Citizenship ...................................................................................... 221 Chapter Six: Aldous Huxley the Political Theologian .................................................... 237 Soma ................................................................................................................... 255 Island ................................................................................................................... 273 Huxley and More Recent Discussions of Political Theology ............................. 293 Chapter Seven: Conclusion: Re-enchantment and Psychedelic Aesthetics .................... 302 iv Works Cited .................................................................................................................... 320 v CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION: LIBERAL SUBJECTIVITY, RELIGION, AND THE STATE To speak of an aesthetic is already a gesture toward a notion of transcendence, toward something above and between individual subjectivities. Psychedelic aesthetics1 re-imagine the boundaries of liberal subjectivity through a consciousness expansion and then a return from that expansion. As such, psychedelic aesthetics challenge liberal subjectivity itself. A subject who returns from a psychedelic “experience” – which can be attained in various ways – ethically realigns and re-norms his or her “self” according to a moral authority beyond the forces that shape liberal subjectivity, beyond the 1 I use terms psychedelic aesthetics as a singular collection of a variety of different senses. This is partly because the artistic works that evidence such aesthetics tend to have synaesthetic qualities; however, as will become apparent, my intention is to point to a version of aesthetics that pushes the meaning beyond the concept “of the senses.” My attempt is not to redefine a word so much as to point to a notion of aesthetics that precedes modernity and what Jerome Schneewind calls “the invention of autonomy.” ‘Sensibility’ as an aesthetic quality depends on modern conceptions of the body in a period of secularization, and as Alasdair MacIntyre and others have pointed out, accompanies the emergence of a publicly determined moral politics. In Martin Heidegger’s ‘return’ to ontology as first philosophy in

    BRAVE NEW WORLD by Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) Chapter One A SQUAT grey building of only thirty-four stories. Over the main en- trance the words, CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE, and, in a shield, the World State's motto, COMMUNITY, IDEN- TITY, STABILITY. The enormous room on the ground floor faced towards the north. Cold for all the summer beyond the panes, for all the tropical heat of the room itself, a harsh thin light glared through the windows, hungrily seeking some draped lay figure, some pallid shape of academic goose- flesh, but finding only the glass and nickel and bleakly shining porce- lain of a laboratory. Wintriness responded to wintriness. The overalls of the workers were white, their hands gloved with a pale corpse- coloured rubber. The light was frozen, dead, a ghost. Only from the yellow barrels of the microscopes did it borrow a certain rich and living substance, lying along the polished tubes like butter, streak after luscious streak in long recession down the work tables. "And this," said the Director opening the door, "is the Fertilizing Room." Bent over their instruments, three hundred Fertilizers were plunged, as the Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning entered the room, in the scarcely breathing silence, the absent-minded, soliloquizing hum or whistle, of absorbed concentration. A troop of newly arrived students, very young, pink and callow, followed nervously, rather abjectly, at the Director's heels. Each of them carried a notebook, in which, whenever the great man spoke, he desperately scribbled. Straight from the horse's mouth. It was a rare privilege.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • Brave New World: the Correlation of Social Order and the Process Of
    Brave New World: The Correlation of Social Order and the Process of Literary Translation by Maria Reinhard A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in German Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2008 ! Maria Reinhard 2008 Author's Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This comparative analysis of four different German-language versions of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) shows the correlation between political and socio- cultural circumstances, as well as ideological differences, and translations of the novel. The first German translation was created by Herberth E. Herlitschka in 1932, entitled Welt – Wohin? Two further versions of it were released in 1950 and 1981. In 1978, the East German publisher Das Neue Berlin published a new translation created by Eva Walch, entitled Schöne neue Welt. My thesis focuses on the first translations by both Herlitschka and Walch, but takes into account the others as well. The methodological basis is Heidemarie Salevsky’s tripartite model. With its focus on author and work, commissioning institution and translator, it was developed as a tool to determine the factors influencing the process of literary translation. Within this framework, the translations are contextualized within the cultural and political circumstances of the Weimar and German Democratic Republics, including an historical overview of the two main publishers, Insel and Das Neue Berlin.

  • Radical Theology and the Death of God by Thomas Altizer and William Hamilton
    Radical Theology and the Death of God return to religion-online Radical Theology and the Death of God by Thomas Altizer and William Hamilton Thomas J.J. Altizer is a native of Charleston, West Virginia. He attended St. John’s College, Annapolis, Maryland, and received his degrees of A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. He was Associate Professor of Bible and Religion at Emory University, Atlanta Georgia. William Hamilton is a graduate of Oberlin and Union Theological School. He received his Ph.D. degree from St. Andrews in Scotland in 1953. He is Professor and Dean at the College of Arts and Sciences, Oregon State University, in Portland. Published by The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc. A Subsidiary of Howard W. Sams & Co. This material was prepared for Religion Online by Ted & Winnie Brock. The aim of the new theology is not simply to seek relevance or contemporaneity for its own sake but to strive for a whole new way of theological understanding. Thus it is a theological venture in the strict sense, but it is no less a pastoral response hoping to give support to those who have chosen to live as Christian atheists. Preface Radical theology is peculiarly a product of the mid-twentieth century; it has been initiated by Barth and neo-orthodoxy into a form of theology which can exist in the midst of the collapse of Christendom and the advent of secular atheism. Part 1: Introductions to the Radical Theology American Theology, Radicalism and the Death of God by William Hamilton There is an experience of loss among the radical death of God theologians.
