By way of explaining some of these complexities, this preface is arranged into two main parts. In the first, we briefly recount the history of our research and describe the general guidelines that were applied throughout. The second part addresses more specific bibliographic issues pertaining to individual sections of the bibliography; here we explain such special interpretations of our general guidelines as individual sections, by virtue of media or genre or editorial considerations, frequently required. Researching so prolific a writer as Sontag proved to be an amazingly time- consuming, sometimes frustrating, yet always fascinating and rewarding activity. We used traditional sources of information as well as nontraditional and newly emerging research technologies. In fact, when this research project started, in 1982, computerized information sources were just becoming readily available to humanities scholars. In 1999, however, bibliographic databases are quite common; “hard copy” or paper-copy information is the more endangered data source nowadays. The types of sources we consulted are as varied as Sontag’s many genres, topics, and publication venues. We used indexing and abstracting tools in both print and computerized versions; bibliographies on literature, art, and women writers; various “books in print” and national library compendiums, and so on. During the course of our research, we reviewed more than 170 index or bibliographic sources, far too many to list. Standard sources of information we consulted included the MLA International Bibliography, Dissertation Abstracts, Index Translationum, Humanities Index, Book Review Index, Art Index, Philosopher’s Index, and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index. In addition, we utilized computerized union catalogues—OCLC, RLIN, eventually FirstSearch and WorldCat—and also indexes pertaining to foreign language periodicals and books, such as Romanische Bibliographie, Indice español de humanidades, Bulletin signalétique, French XX, among others. A source we did not systematically attend to was daily newspapers, with the obvious exception of the New York Times. (All citations to the Times refer to the Late City edition available via University Microfilms.) vii We also gathered information about Sontag via less formal or official channels. Over the years, friends, family members, and colleagues often sent clippings or references. Likewise, many pieces of information were gathered serendipitously; we often stumbled across a new item while locating another we had already been directed to. In the summer of 1992, moreover, we wrote to national libraries worldwide inquiring about translations of Sontag’s works. In addition, we profited immensely from the assistance of Susan Sontag herself. In response to draft versions of our list, she graciously sent us copies of her own “Publication History,” in both 1994 and 1998. Sontag’s lists, we should note, cover material written, sold, translated, and solicited, and include a considerable number of incomplete entries; given the vagaries of international periodical publication, this is hardly surprising. (Sontag’s list does not include films or recordings.) Indeed, Sontag’s account of her pre-1994 material is considerably expanded in the 1998 version of her list. Her lists and ours alike, therefore, are works very much in (retrospective) progress. The bibliography covers materials written by Sontag and about Sontag from 1948 through 1993, with some exceptions and qualifications. Because we shut down the research machinery in 1992, as explained below, our “comprehensiveness” extends only through (roughly) 1990, the point in “publication time” most mid-1992 indexes and databases had reached at that juncture. We stopped active research in 1992 when it became distressingly clear that we would be pushed to our limits (and to the page count limitations urged on us by the publisher) just to annotate the materials found to date. Since 1992, then, we have directed our energies chiefly to writing annotations, though we have made a point of revisiting major index sources on occasion just in case they included new Sontag-related items that required our attention. Sometimes they did. And we continued to follow leads to other materials if they fell within our time frame. The major exception to the research stoppage involves The Volcano Lover, published to wide acclaim in 1992. Given the novel’s impact, and Sontag’s assistance when it came to updating our list of her other works, we thought it would be a great mistake to exclude it. We have thus endeavored to track its reception by reviewers and critics— translations of it, too—through 1993, though our coverage of The Volcano Lover is obviously less extensive than of Sontag’s other books. Throughout this project, we have made every attempt to gain “hands on” access to all items to verify their existence or provenance and the accuracy of our bibliographic data. By “hands on,” we mean either that one of us or one of the many people who assisted us saw the piece and verified publication data. During the initial phases of the project, Dr. Poague spent weeks amounting to months at the Library of Congress. He also visited Columbia University and North Hollywood High School. Material not acquired in these or subsequent research expeditions and not available in the Iowa State University Library was requested through interlibrary loan. In doing so, we always asked for title pages or periodical mastheads in order to confirm publication data. In numerous cases, viii our only confirmation was the fact that the item arrived as ordered, on the basis of the data we’d provided. (We have made many judgment calls about how and when to mark these uncertainties.) If we could not obtain a piece, but were convinced of its existence and pertinence, we have included it and marked its entry number with an asterisk. Likewise, items we did acquire but for which the bibliographic data was in some significant way doubtful are also marked with an asterisk. Obviously, items we did not see could not be more than minimally annotated. Our primary guide to bibliographic style was The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th edition. In general, we have carefully followed its guidelines, though we have adopted some few variant practices. Because of the number of items we acquired or found reference to, we opted for the shortest entry-style possible. We have abbreviated months in periodical entries, have gone “short” on page numbers, and have shortened or abbreviated publisher names. (In some few cases, material was obtained from clipping files; we were not always successful in providing page numbers.) For foreign publisher names, we have used the abbreviations employed by Index Translationum. We discuss abbreviations and their rationale under separate heading. We wrote annotations with two goals in mind. The first was to provide prospective readers with a picture or map of the item in question. The longer the work, the more difficult this became, but also, we thought, the more useful. The second goal was to provide a memory aid for those readers who had already encountered a given item, both to assist in recall and to suggest an analytical framework wherein those recollections might make more thorough or cumulative sense.

    Nietzsche & Asian Philosophy Beyond Good and Evil—1 Beyond good and Evil Preface supposing truth is a woman philosophers like love-sick suitors who don’t understand the woman-truth central problem of philosophy is Plato’s error: denying perspective, the basic condition of all life On the Prejudices of Philosophers 1) questioning the will to truth who is it that really wants truth? What in us wants truth? Why not untruth? 2) origin of the will to truth out of the will to untruth, deception can anything arise out of its opposite? A dangerous questioning? Nietzsche sees new philosophers coming up who have the strength for the dangerous “maybe.” Note in general Nietzsche’s preference for the conditional tense, his penchant for beginning his questioning with “perhaps” or “suppose” or “maybe.” In many of the passages throughout this book Nietzsche takes up a perspective which perhaps none had dared take up before, a perspective to question what had seemed previously to be unquestionable. He seems to constantly be tempting the reader with a dangerous thought experiment. This begins with the questioning of the will to truth and the supposition that, perhaps, the will to truth may have arisen out of its opposite, the will to untruth, ignorance, deception. 3) the supposition that the greater part of conscious thinking must be included among instinctive activities Nietzsche emphasizes that consciousness is a surface phenomenon conscious thinking is directed by what goes on beneath the surface contrary to Plato’s notion of pure reason, the conscious

The dissertation will look at the idea in several ways to elucidate the depth and complexity of the idea. First, it will be looked at through its evolution, as it began as an idea early in Nietzsche’s career and reached its full complexity at the end of his career with the planned publication of his Revaluation of All Values, just before the onset of his madness. Several questions will be explored: What is the nature of the revaluator who is supposed to be instrumental in the process of revaluation? What will the values after the revaluation be like (a rebirth of ancient values or creation of entirely new values)? What will be the scope of the revaluation? And what is the relation of other major ideas of Nietzsche’s (will to power, eternal return, overman, and amor fati) to the revaluation? Different answers to these questions will be explored.

  • Promoting the Latin American “Boom” in the Pages of Mundo Nuevo
    Vol. 5, No. 3, Spring 2008, 75-94 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente The Politics of Literary Prestige: Promoting the Latin American “Boom” in the Pages of Mundo Nuevo Russell Cobb University of Alberta The history of the Boom… is written in the pages of Mundo Nuevo. —José Donoso Nothing kills a man like having to represent a country. —Jacques Vache I. Decades have passed since the Boom ended and yet the period remains controversial among critics. Was it a literary movement or a marketing phenomenon? Why were certain authors (Gabriel García Márquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, Carlos Fuentes, etc.) given pride of place over others (Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Severo Sarduy, Augusto Roa Bastos)? Who was primarily responsible for making the Boom such an unprecedented success in international literary circles? This much is agreed upon: in roughly one decade, Latin American fiction emerged from obscurity in Europe and the United States to become a major critical and commercial phenomenon. International recognition had already been bestowed upon Latin American poets such as Pablo Neruda, Gabriel Cobb 76 Mistral, and César Vallejo earlier in the twentieth century while fiction writers remained curiously neglected in what Pascale Casanova has called the “World Republic of Letters.” With the Boom in the early 1960s, however, for the first time in history, Latin American writers were widely translated, published, and awarded the most prestigious literary prizes on the planet. At the risk of oversimplifying matters, there are essentially two strands of thought regarding the Boom’s overwhelming critical and commercial success. There are its supporters, who believe that Boom novels flourished because of the writers’ full embrace of cosmopolitan modernism, or what Goethe called Weltliteratur, a concept of literature as a space existing outside national or linguistic boundaries.

  • A Humble Protest a Literary Generation's Quest for The
    A HUMBLE PROTEST A LITERARY GENERATION’S QUEST FOR THE HEROIC SELF, 1917 – 1930 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jason A. Powell, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Steven Conn, Adviser Professor Paula Baker Professor David Steigerwald _____________________ Adviser Professor George Cotkin History Graduate Program Copyright by Jason Powell 2008 ABSTRACT Through the life and works of novelist John Dos Passos this project reexamines the inter-war cultural phenomenon that we call the Lost Generation. The Great War had destroyed traditional models of heroism for twenties intellectuals such as Ernest Hemingway, Edmund Wilson, Malcolm Cowley, E. E. Cummings, Hart Crane, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and John Dos Passos, compelling them to create a new understanding of what I call the “heroic self.” Through a modernist, experience based, epistemology these writers deemed that the relationship between the heroic individual and the world consisted of a dialectical tension between irony and romance. The ironic interpretation, the view that the world is an antagonistic force out to suppress individual vitality, drove these intellectuals to adopt the Freudian conception of heroism as a revolt against social oppression. The Lost Generation rebelled against these pernicious forces which they believed existed in the forms of militarism, patriotism, progressivism, and absolutism. The

  • The Argentine 1960S
    The Argentine 1960s David William Foster It was the time of the Beatles, of high school studies, of “flower power,” of social ist revolution, of a new French movie house, of poetry, of Sartre and Fanon, of Simone de Beauvoir, of Salinger and Kerouac, of Marx and Lenin. It was all of that together. It was also the time of the Cuban Revolution, which opened our hearts, and it was the time of a country, Argentina, which took the first steps to ward vio lence that was to define our future (Fingueret 20-21). El cine es una institución que se ha modificado tanto que ya perdió su carácter de “región moral”. Las salas de cine hasta los primeros años de la década del sesen- ta eran lugares de reunión social donde la gente iba a estar como en un centro de reunión social, un club o un café del que se era habitué....Las antiguas salas tenían personalidad propia y algunas cum plían otras funciones que aquellas para las que habían sido creadas; en tiempo de represión sexual, eran frecuen- tadas por parejas heterosexuales que se besaban y mas- turbaban. Los homosexuales tenían su espaci en cier- tas salas llamadas “populares” no frecuentadas por familias, y en mu chos casos sus espectadores eran varones solos. “Hacer el ajedrez” se decia en el argot de los habitués, en esos cines, a cambiarse cons - tantemente de butaca en busca de la compañía ade- cuada (Sebreli 344).1 In Argentina, it was the best of times, and it was the worst of times.

  • Currents: Feminist Key Concepts and Controversies Trigger Happy: from Content Warning to Censorship Trigger Warnings Have Become
    Jack Halberstam Currents: Feminist Key Concepts and Controversies Trigger Happy: From Content Warning to Censorship rigger warnings have become standard fare on some college campuses T over the past few years. But they have also been the occasion for in- tense debates about pedagogy, classroom conduct, the use of me- dia in the classroom, and the nature of trauma. In general terms, a trigger warning is a cautionary note that may be added to syllabi or online sites to alert readers, students, or casual browsers about violent or sexually ex- plicit images and text in the materials on a site, in a course reader, or up ahead in a blind chain of Internet clicks. The trigger warning could easily be read simply as a protocol proper to new media forms in the early twenty-first century. However, because the call for trigger warnings on col- lege campuses coincided with new sets of regulations around sexual inter- actions, sexual assault, and teacher-student relationships, they have instead become a site for dynamic and often polemical debates about censorship, exposure, sensitivity, and the politics of discomfort. In this short piece I want to explore the function of the trigger warning and the import of the debates to which it gave rise. I will begin with two examples of college campuses where students in- troduced requests for classroom policy changes around syllabi and trigger warnings. In the first example, in 2012 Oberlin College, a small liberal arts school in Ohio known for its eclectic students and social justice agendas, circulated an online guide intended to help professors to avoid assigning and presenting potentially “triggering” material in their classrooms.1 As numer- ous articles commented, most professors in 2012 had never heard of trig- ger warnings, let alone Tumblr sites (where trigger warnings were popular- ized and proliferated), and were not opposed to them so much as ignorant of their purpose.
