  • Snedeker: "Closing Time"
    Closing Time George Snedeker In his novels, William Burroughs constructs a complex mythological structure. The tropes of evolution and religion are central to novels like Nova Express and The Western Lands. In this essay, I will argue that these novels are political/philosophical representations of contemporary society. Burroughs moves concrete political conflicts to the plane of metatheoretical reflections by means of the construction of grand mythological frameworks. He rarely ever addresses politics directly. Instead, he offers movie-like narratives that the reader is forced to reconnect to everyday reality. Both the cut-ups and his fragmented narratives try to force the reader into the work of reconstructing the existential field of action. There are no blueprints or programs for action to guide our struggles in his novels. Burroughs' radicalism was a radicalism of the imagination. He tried to revive the capacity to dream and imagine alternative worlds, not to get stuck in this highly corrupt universe of thought. How does one think his/her way out of a prisonhouse of language and the symbolic order of domination? This is why there is so much emphasis on individual and collective struggles for personal liberty in his novels. I will argue that Burroughs understood the quest for freedom in both quotidian and global terms. In books like The Wild Boys, Cities of the Red Night and The Place of Dead Roads there is a clear attempt to formulate a collective struggle against the cosmic and social forces of evil. In The Wild Boys, this struggle takes the form of the politics of the imaginary.

  • Michael Stevens' the Road to Interzone
    “The scholarship surrounding the life and work of William Burroughs is in the midst of a renaissance. Students of Burroughs are turning away from myths, legends, and sensationalistic biographical detail in order to delve deeply into textual analysis, archival research, and explorations of literary and artistic history. Michael Stevens’ The Road to Interzone is an important part of this changing landscape. In a manner similar to Ralph Maud’s Charles Olson’s Reading, The Road to Interzone places the life and literature of “el Hombre Invisible” into sharper focus by listing and commenting on, in obsessive detail, the breadth of literary material Burroughs read, referred to, researched, and reviewed. Stevens reveals Burroughs to be a man of letters and of great learning, while simultaneously shedding light on the personal obsessions, pet theories, childhood favorites, and guilty pleasures, which make Burroughs such a unique and fascinating figure. Stevens’ book provides a wealth of new and important information for those deeply interested in Burroughs and will no doubt prove essential to future scholarship. Like Oliver Harris’ The Secret of Fascination and Robert Sobieszek’s Ports of Entry before it, The Road to Interzone is an indispensable addition to the canon of Burroughs Studies.” -Jed Birmingham “Michael Stevens has created a new kind of biography out of love for William S. Burroughs and love of books. Author worship and bibliophilia become one at the point of obsession, which of course is the point where they become interesting. Burroughs’ reading was intense and far flung, and Stevens has sleuthed out a portrait of that reading--the books Burroughs lent his name to in the form of introductions and blurbs, the books in his various libraries, the books he refers to, the books that found their way into his writing, and much more! Along with lively notes from Stevens, we have Burroughs throughout--his opinions, perceptions, the ‘grain of his voice.’ That in itself makes Stevens’ book a notable achievement.

  • Gay Themes in the Film Interview with the Vampire
    THESIS A QUEER PERSPECTIVE: GAY THEMES IN THE FILM INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE Submitted by Jared A. Bendel Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2013 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Carl R. Burgchardt Eric Aoki Sarah Sloane ABSTRACT A QUEER PERSPECTIVE: GAY THEMES IN THE FILM INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE There are a growing number of mainstream films and television shows which include gay characters or same-sex families as central figures: A Single Man, The Kids Are Alright, Will & Grace, Mad Men, Two and a Half Men, and Modern Family. This thesis sets out to determine if the film Interview with the Vampire, which preceded the above named films and television shows by more than five years, is a cite of queer cinema that focuses on gay themes while proposing a same-sex family. In coupling Seymour Chatman’s rhetorical theory of narrative in fiction - literature and film with Harry Benshoff and Sean Griffin’s theory of Queer Cinema, the study focuses on locating and citing specific instances where gay themes of identity and identification along with the theme of the same-sex family emerge. The study utilizes the novel Interview with the Vampire by Ann Rice as a critical touchstone and draws from Roland Barthes’ concept of “Rhetoric of the Image” to evaluate the strength of the themes found within the adapted film Interview with the Vampire. The research finds several examples of the re-presentation of individual gay lives and uncovers evidence of a cinematic representation of a same-sex family.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
