However, this study proposes that subjective attributes, namely negativity and abjection, enable a powerful transformative dialectic. Specifically, it demonstrates that an emphasis on the subjective can help manifest the process of transgressing the law of One. The law of One asserts a patriarchal, monotheistic law as a social closed system and can be opposed to the bodily drives and its open dynamism. This project asserts that unique, creative voices are derived from that which is individual and personal and thus, readings of Confessional poetry are in fact best served by acknowledgment of the subjective. In order to stress the subject of the artist in Confessionalism, this study employed a psychoanalytical Kristevan approach. This enables consideration of the subject not only in terms of the straightforward narration of her life, but also in relation to her poetic language and the process of creativity where instinctual drives are at work. This study further applies a feminist reading to the subject‘s poetic language and its ability to transgress the law, not necessarily in the political, macrocosmic sense of the word, but rather on the microcosmic, subjective level. Although Sexton and Plath possess similar biographies, their work does not have the same artistic value in terms of transformative capabilities. Transformation here signifies transgressing of the unity of the subject and of the authoritative father, the other within, who has prohibitive social and linguistic powers. Plath, Kristeva‘s the ―deadmost,‖ successfully confronts the unity of the law, releasing the death drive through anger. Moreover, Plath‘s psychic borders are more fluid because of her ability to identify with the iii pre-Oedipal mother. This unsettling subject is identified by shifts in texts marked by renewal, transgression, and jouissance. Unlike Sexton, Plath is able to achieve transformation as she oscillates masochistically between the ―inside‖ and the ―outside‖ of her psychic borders, and between the symbolic and the semiotic. Furthermore, this enables Plath to develop the unique ―Siren Voice of the Other.‖ In comparison, Sexton, the ―dead/less,‖ evades any confrontation with the maternal and the performance of death in her poetry. Her case is further complicated by the discovery of a second mother. As a result, passivity becomes a main characteristic of her work. This passivity remains until the maternal abject bursts in her text and she reacts to this by performing cleansing rituals, and gravitating toward a symbolic father. Without the dynamism of transgression, Sexton‘s work is heterogeneous but does not achieve ultimate transformation and jouissance. Confessional poetry, in this sense, takes on a new dimension. The life stories of the poets become important not for their pejorative, pathological aspects that focus on narrative mimesis, but rather for their manifestation as an aesthetic process. The subject of the writer becomes important as an aesthetic identity in the poems, which are rooted in real life. The main concern then becomes the aesthetic transformative dialectic between the semiotic and the symbolic in her work of art. iv Contents Abbreviations……………………………………………………………..………….....vi Introduction…………………………………………………………………..………….1 I.

Lastly, but most importantly, I am grateful to Philadelphia University in Jordan for sponsoring my project. 1 Introduction I. Overview An examination of Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath from a Kristevan perspective will help to establish their different psychological positions in life and in their poetry. According to Kristeva, the subjectivity of the poet in her work of art is not discarded. On the contrary, the instinctual drives released in the poet‘s psyche lead to poetic creation and transgression of the law of One,1 which is the patriarchal, monotheistic law as a social closed system. M.L. Rosenthal first coined the term ―Confessional poetry‖ in 1959. At that time, he used the term to describe a new poetry which, he believed, was therapeutic and autobiographical as it ―put the speaker himself at the centre of the poem in such a way as to make his psychological vulnerability and shame an embodiment of his civilization‖ (69). This definition was advocated by many critics. A. R. Jones, for example, described the ―voice‖ of Confessional poetry as the ―naked ego‖ (30). In this sense, such poetry constitutes a break from formalist, impersonal verse (Gill, Anne Sexton 10). Because of what Hoffman views as ―the limited‖ and ―pejorative‖ sense of the term (687), especially in the light of the high incidence of suicide among the Confessionalists, it has become common practice to avoid associating this poetry with the subject of the artist. Rather, they objectively studied the instability and the uncertainty of language, as well as the indeterminacy of subjectivity removed from

At the very outset, I would like to state that my experience during 2017-2018 as IC Chair has indicated that if IEEE India fraternity works in unison, many positive things can happen in the years to come. IEEE India Council is delighted to state that the "All India Student/ YP/ WIE Congress (AISYWC- 18)”, a flagship event of IEEE IC, was hosted by IEEE Bangalore Section with great pomp and show during 28th to 30th September 2018. This year, the congress was held at City of Palaces, Mysuru, and the local host was Vidya Vikas Institute of Engineering & Technology (VVIET). IEEE India Council is happy to inform that seven IEEE Sections of India extended their support to AISYWC-18. Around 450 participants took part in the Congress. Maintaining the continuity during 2017-2018, IEEE IC F2F meeting was held on 30th September 2018 hosted by IEEE Bangalore Section on the sidelines of AISYWC-18 in Mysuru. It was a very good meeting with participation from many sections, which is bringing in greater cohesion in IEEE activities in India. I put on record our utmost appreciation of the efforts of IEEE Bangalore Section in relation to this F2F meeting. This quarter was an eventful time for IEEE India Council.

Proposing a third term that operates beyond the dichotomy of high culture and mass culture and yet offers a fresh approach to both, these essays address a multitude of different topics that can all be classified as unpopular culture. From David Foster Wallace and Ernest Hemingway to Zane Grey, from Christian rock and country to clack cetal, from Steven Seagal to Genesis (Breyer) P-Orridge, from K-pop to The Real Housewives, from natural disasters to 9/11, from thesis hatements to professional sports, these essays find the unpopular across media and genres, and they analyze the politics and the aesthetics of an unpopular culture (and the unpopular in culture) that has not been duly recognized as such by the theories and methods of cultural studies.

  • Brian Fauteux, University of Wisconsin-Madison
    Music Made for TV: Reassessing the History of Pop Music in/on Television Popular Music and Authenticity in AMC’s Mad Men Brian Fauteux, University of Wisconsin-Madison “Lady Lazarus,” an episode of Mad Men’s fifth season, ends with a familiar sound for most viewers as the Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows” plays over the final scene and the episode’s credits. In a New York Times article about the show’s purchase of the song, Mad Men’s creator Matthew Weiner remarked, “Even people who are not in the clearances and rights business were struck by the fact that that was actually the Beatles…You just get the satisfaction of knowing that was not an imitation and it’s that recording” (Itzkoff and Sisario). The use of “Tomorrow Never Knows” is essential for a show that is very much concerned with communicating an “authentic” experience of 1960s aesthetics. A recent profile on Kathryn Allison Mann, Mad Men’s head of research, revealed that each season involves a detailed timeline of noteworthy events in news, politics, and culture (Blake). But authenticity isn’t cheap, especially as popular music becomes integral to late 1960s popular culture. “Tomorrow Never Knows” was purchased by Lionsgate for a whopping price of $250,000. Early in its final and seventh season, the show has increased its use of prominent musical selections to evoke a feeling of the late 60s, drawing on bands such as Spencer Davis Group, Vanilla Fudge, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience to add an “authentic” soundtrack for New York and Los Angeles in 1969.
