  • To Meet the Maker: the Influence of the Author in the Critical Reception
    To Meet the Maker: The Influence of the Author in the Critical Reception of David Foster Wallace David Lipsky. Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace . New York: Broadway Books, 2010. ISBN 978-0-307-59243-9 Nick Levey Criticism often benefits from an author’s silence. This “absence” sustains a forever flimsy ontology, suggests a service in need of provision, and ulti- mately helps to hide that “final signified” which so tyrannically restricts Ro- land Barthes’ anarchic reader. 1 Alongside the “obscurity” of language, the author’s “ob-scenity” is partly the non-act on which criticism depends, creat- ing and ensuring the space into which its discourse comes. Of course there are degrees of silence. There are those authors who write essays, who write autobiographies, who seem determined to be their texts’ first and final instance;2 and there are those who are reclusive to the extreme, such as Thomas Pynchon, or those from whom we have no voice to hear, such as Shakespeare. But what happens when an author “speaks,” and just as loudly as those texts he writes? We today still tend to hesitate to hear it, partly because that word “influence” has been most feared in recent years, partly because we are still a bit deterred by French theory. But while the author may be, in our humanist “cowardice,” the “ideological figure by which one marks the manner in which we fear the proliferation of meaning,” her imposition being the appeasing anthropomorphisation of the otherwise “arbitrary” sign, 3 she’s also just as equally the figure by which we recognize COLLOQUY text theory critique 21 (2011).

Derivative Sport: The Journalistic Legacy of David Foster Wallace Josh Roiland University of Maine, United States Abstract: The late writer David Foster Wallace is best known as the au- thor of the 1,079-page novel Infinite Jest. But he also produced some of the most well known pieces of magazine journalism throughout the 1990s and 2000s. He was a three-time finalist for the National Magazine Award, winning once in 2001 for his Rolling Stone profile of Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign, “The Weasel, Twelve Monkeys, and the Shrub.” Be- cause of his distinct voice, ability to blend high and low culture, and inno- vative use of footnotes, Wallace cast a long shadow of influence on a genera- David Foster Wallace giving a reading at All Saints Church, San Francisco, 2006. tion of literary journalists.

  • How to Realign Our Rhetorical Judgments for the Post-Postmodern, Digital Media Age
    Fear and Loathing in the New Media Era: How to Realign Our Rhetorical Judgments for the Post-Postmodern, Digital Media Age DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Aaron McKain Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: James Phelan, Advisor Cynthia Selfe Wendy Hesford Copyright by Aaron McKain 2012 Abstract This dissertation begins with a question that sits – obstinately – at the crossroads of 21st century American politics and 21st century scholarship in rhetoric and composition: How do we make judgments about rhetoric when new media (social-networking, web 2.0, ease of audio/visual production) have rendered our long-standing public norms of ethos untenable? This is the dilemma lurking behind the daily parade of new media acts that we, as citizens, are expected to judge: From co-workers caught mid-kegstand on Facebook to politicians trapped in the YouTube minefield of decontextualized and mashed-up gaffes. But ethos points to a larger concern as well: At the precise moment where technology has given us, as a citizens, unparalleled power to act as rhetorical critics -- when anyone with a laptop and dial-up connection can effortlessly remediate, remix, and repurpose rhetorical acts from one context to another – we are uncertain about what the new rules of rhetoric are? How do we rethink ethos – in terms of character -- for a heavily surveilled, socially-networked age, where the distinctions between public and private are nebulous and all of our previous public performances are always only a Google search away? Concerned that our current, mass media age, standards for judging ethos as character (e.g., as authenticity, as the search for the “real” person) are both deadlocking our politics and providing no vocabulary of resistance to the new media era’s twin industries of information- gathering and surveillance, this dissertation proceeds in three stages in order to present a solution.

  • Getting Away from It All: the Literary Journalism of David Foster Wallace and Nietzsche's Concept of Oblivion
    David Foster Wallace 89 Getting Away From It All: The Literary Journalism of David Foster Wallace and Nietzsche’s Concept of Oblivion By Joshua Roiland Saint Louis University, U.S.A. Wallace, best known for the novel Infinite Jest, greatly admired literary journalism’s power to keep both practitioners and readers alert, curious, and conscious of the world. Yet the literary journalism he himself produced must be understood within the context of what Nietzsche termed ‘oblivion’ n a dry Saturday morning in late May 2005, the writer David Foster Wallace delivered the commencement address to the graduating class at Kenyon College Oin central Ohio. He sought to tell them why their liberal arts degree had “actual human value instead of just a material payoff.” For Wallace that value lay not in the old cliché of learning how to think, but rather in learning how to exercise control over what to think about: “It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay atten- tion to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot or will not exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed.”1 The speech, both colloquial and compassionate, was the clearest articulation of a philosophy that guided Wallace’s writing and life. A little more than three years later, on a warm September evening, Wallace went into the backyard of his home in Claremont, California, bound his hands with duct tape, and hanged himself from his deck. He was forty-six years old. In the weeks and months that followed his death, remembrances and tributes abounded online and in print.
