This article revisits the 1973 Soundings debate between Michael Novak and Agnes Moreland Jackson over the relationship of the white ethnic revival, race, and notions of belonging in the American nation in order to address the further evolution of these ideas in the wake of the 2016 presidential election.

The phenomenal sales, within the evangelical market, of prints by Ron DiCianni have made him one of the most commercially successful Christian artists of his time. An analysis of his immensely popular Heroes paintings reveal a pitch-perfect rhetoric of hypermasculinity that projects a Christian Right model of manhood embraced by many evangelicals in the early twentiety-first century. This article is thus an important corrective to scholarship that understates, if not neglects, the role of Christian Right ideology in the construction of evangelical ideals of masculinity.
Ron DiCianni的版画在福音派市场上的惊人销量使他成为那个时代商业上最成功的基督教艺术家之一。对他广受欢迎的《英雄》画作的分析揭示了一种极端男子气概的完美修辞，这种修辞反映了二十一世纪初许多福音派教徒所接受的基督教右翼男子气概模式。因此，这篇文章对低估(如果不是忽视的话)基督教右翼意识形态在福音派男子气概理想建构中的作用的学术研究是一个重要的纠正。

Commentators have suggested that Nella Larsen's Passing rejects the view that there is some sort of black essence. This article challenges this reading. Since Irene is the most vocal advocate of an essence in respect to which all blacks are homogenous, much of the evidence for thinking that Passing is skeptical about such an essence amounts to evidence for not trusting Irene's judgment in general, and for not trusting her judgment on this matter in particular. My arguments, then, will often involve explaining why Passing is not leading the reader to mistrust Irene's judgment on this matter. Now, what exactly is meant by a black essence is, explicitly in this book, mysterious. Nevertheless, this article intends to shed some light on how Passing understands the nature of this something, this je ne sais quoi, peculiar to blacks. My tentative interpretation is that this something is an intangible and indefinite manner of being that is neither a conscious choice nor an inborn fact of biology, but rather a given of culture. This article takes this, in effect, blackness manner to be, so Passing seems to indicate, a function of one's belief that one is black in a milieu of pervasive anti-black prejudice. Passing thus has something to offer those today who struggle to adjudicate between a pull towards essentialism and a pull towards constructionism. What Passing emphasizes in this discussion is the possibility that, in addition to biological and societal influences, one's mind state is a crucial ingredient to one's racial identity.

Editor's Note: This fragmented essay is a collage. It grows out of the commonplace book, a practice dating back to ancient Greece and Rome wherein a writer gathers passages, copying them down by hand, passages that she then responds to, ruminates on, returns to again and again, passages that prompt thinking, passages that are internalized, passages whose syntax becomes the writer's own. "Breathing, Parsing, Praying" is to be read within that tradition. The essay draws upon my own commonplace book to think through the relationship between language, the body, and prayer, the keeping of a commonplace book making possible interdisciplinary ways of reading, writing, thinking, and being.

Ralph Waldo Emerson's work is often treated as either part of the ongoing secularization of American culture or marking the emergence of a distinct form of spirituality. In both cases, he is treated as presenting a newness which stands at some remove from religion. This article offers a different paradigm for reading Emerson's religion, one that accepts with Emerson that "religion" is a continually evolving concept that must bring together religious tradition with religious innovation. This article offers a reading of his religious thought by focusing on three themes: the moral sentiment, the Divine, and the religious life.

This article illuminates the way American poet Frank O’Hara (1926–1966) develops Romantic tropes of musical virtuosity. While the term “virtuosity” has been used to decry O’Hara’s work, scholarship has not acknowledged the extent to which his poetry, via elliptical hints to Keats and Liszt, could partake in a nineteenth-century discourse about this aesthetic mode. Virtuosity highlights a relationship between performance and form; interaction of these forces is what a strain of O’Hara’s poems examines and more broadly what his poetics exemplify. The article argues that his poems are piqued by pianistic virtuosity and its problems, rather than a victim of them.
本文阐述了美国诗人弗兰克·奥哈拉(Frank O 'Hara, 1926-1966)如何发展音乐技巧的浪漫主义修辞。虽然“精湛技艺”一词被用来谴责奥哈拉的作品，但学术界并没有承认他的诗歌在多大程度上可以通过对济慈和李斯特的隐晦暗示，参与到19世纪关于这种美学模式的论述中。精湛技艺强调表演与形式之间的关系;这些力量的相互作用是奥哈拉的诗歌所考察的，更广泛地说，是他的诗学所体现的。这篇文章认为，他的诗是受到钢琴技巧及其问题的启发，而不是成为这些问题的受害者。
