Lucy Dawes Durneen introduces the second of two Special Issues of Short Fiction in Theory and Practice dedicated to the theme of ‘the health of the short story’. She reflects on the process of editing and arranging articles that speak to and across the individual issues, and the way in which this itself mirrors the short story’s trifold ability to diagnose, observe and potentially suture together resolutions for the challenges of the human condition, both within the boundaries of the text, and as a discrete tool for personal recovery.
露西·道斯·杜宁介绍了《理论与实践》短篇小说两期特刊中的第二期,主题是“短篇小说的健康”。她反思了编辑和整理文章的过程,这些文章涉及和跨越了个人问题,这本身反映了短篇小说的三重能力,即诊断、观察和潜在地将人类状况挑战的解决方案缝合在一起,既在文本的范围内,也作为个人恢复的独立工具。

Disease, detection and diagnosis: The medical short story and the struggle for literary success in the 1890s 疾病,检测和诊断:19世纪90年代医学短篇小说和文学成功的斗争

Suzanne Bray
After the first death of Sherlock Holmes in 1893, both Arthur Conan Doyle and L. T. Meade turned to the medical short story in order to fill the gap in the popular market. While Meade’s series in The Strand (1893–96), in collaboration with Dr Clifford Halifax, were extremely popular and created a new, sub-genre of detective fiction, Doyle’s stories, published in Round the Red Lamp (1894) were not well-received. The irony in this comes from the fact that Meade managed to adapt the Sherlock Holmes formula to medical fiction, while Doyle did not learn from his own success.
1893年夏洛克·福尔摩斯第一次去世后,阿瑟·柯南·道尔和l·t·米德都转向医疗短篇小说,以填补流行小说市场的空白。米德与克利福德·哈利法克斯博士合作的系列小说《河湾》(1893 - 1896)非常受欢迎,开创了侦探小说的一个新分支,而道尔的《红灯周围》(1894)则不受欢迎。具有讽刺意味的是,米德成功地将福尔摩斯的模式运用到医学小说中,而道尔却没有从自己的成功中吸取教训。

In search of a body of work 在寻找工作的主体
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-10-01 DOI: 10.1386/fict_00063_7
Virginia Hartley
Short story collections, fragmentary assemblages, negotiate a particular kind of relationship to the corpus or ‘body of work’. They communicate an ambivalence about a process of embodiment and of growth. In their relationship to each other, as collected but non-continuous, they grow by means of a pulling apart, where each new piece ruptures, destroys, returns back to the beginning, that which has come before. This personal essay considers the writer’s own process of growing such a written body of work whilst in recovery from an eating disorder: whereby her own body’s reluctance to put on weight beyond the limits of the page is also played out in a struggle on the page. How to reconcile desire with its inevitable end, a body (of work)? The essay considers how, in its distaste the prospect of fullness and completion, the fragment may articulate a disordered relationship with nourishment but, when collected together, may offer a way to think about writing alternative bodies, non-conforming bodies, bodies which are always something less than whole. As such, writing becomes a tool in a recovery of a body of sorts. What is achieved in such fragmentary process may not be a healthy body, a reassuring body, but it is better than nothing and may better express the ambivalence and disturbance of body as process. Drawing small nourishment from Hélène Cixous, from Maurice Blanchot, the essay theorizes a kind of writing which has learnt to survive and, as a collection of fragments, does so as evidence or proof – of a ‘good enough’ body which, is of course, defined as much by the ways in which it falls short.
短篇小说集,零散的集合,与语料库或“作品体”有一种特殊的关系。它们传达了一种关于具体化和成长过程的矛盾心理。在他们彼此的关系中,作为一个集合,但不是连续的,他们通过撕裂的方式成长,在那里每一个新的碎片破裂,破坏,回到开始,以前的东西。这篇个人文章考虑了作者自己从饮食失调中恢复的过程:她自己的身体不愿意增加超过页面限制的体重,也在页面上的挣扎中表现出来。如何调和欲望和它不可避免的结局,一个身体(工作)?这篇文章认为,在它对丰满和完成的厌恶前景中,碎片可能会表达出与营养的无序关系,但当收集在一起时,可能会提供一种思考写作另类身体的方式,不符合标准的身体,总是不那么完整的身体。因此,写作成为某种身体恢复的工具。在这种支离破碎的过程中所得到的,也许不是一个健康的身体,一个让人安心的身体,但聊胜于无,也许能更好地表达作为过程的身体的矛盾和不安。这篇文章从hl Cixous和Maurice Blanchot那里吸取了一点营养,将一种已经学会生存的写作理论化,作为碎片的集合,作为证据或证明——一个“足够好”的身体,当然,是通过它的不足之处来定义的。

Unnatural and degenerate: Cases of monstrous motherhood in Matteo Bandello’s Novelle (1554) and Geoffrey Fenton’s Tragicall Discourses (1567) 不自然与堕落:马泰奥·班代洛小说(1554)与杰弗里·芬顿悲剧话语(1567)中可怕的母性案例

The following article takes into consideration two cases of early modern female ‘monstrosity’ drawn from the Italian collection of Novelle published by Matteo Bandello in 1554. The events recount the stories of two mothers who, seized by ‘unnatural’ folly, kill in cold blood their own offspring. The article tackles the conflicting concepts of normality and malady, putting this ambiguous opposition in relation with the consequent translations of the Novelle in French and in English. The shifts that appear in the translations reveal a deep preoccupation with definitions of malady, be they physical or cultural. Through a close analysis of the original Italian text and its English rendition written by Geoffrey Fenton in 1567, this article sheds light on the troubled relationship of English translators with ‘Italianated’ thus ‘degenerate’ customs, and on their authorial and textual strategies to pre-empt the infectious potential of their Italian sources.
下面的文章考虑了两个早期现代女性“怪物”的例子,这些例子来自于1554年由马泰奥·班代罗出版的意大利小说集。这些事件讲述了两位母亲的故事,她们被“不自然的”愚蠢所抓住,冷血地杀死了自己的孩子。这篇文章处理了正常和病态这两个相互矛盾的概念,把这种模棱两可的对立与随后的法语和英语中篇小说的翻译联系起来。翻译中出现的变化揭示了对疾病定义的深刻关注,无论是身体上的还是文化上的。本文通过对Geoffrey Fenton于1567年撰写的意大利语原文及其英语翻译的详细分析,揭示了英语译者与“意大利化”(即“堕落”)习俗之间的困扰关系,以及他们的作者和文本策略,以先发制人地控制意大利语来源的传染潜力。

Performative public health in Fannie Hurst’s ‘T.B.’ (1915) 在范妮·赫斯特的《肺结核》中,表演性公共卫生”(1915)

Deborah Snow Molloy
This article examines the performativity of public health warnings embedded in Fannie Hurst’s short story ‘T.B.’ (1915). The author outlines the manner in which Hurst uses the short form to reinforce her warnings about tuberculosis in New York in the early twentieth century. Particular focus is given to Hurst’s theatricality of style, engaging with the dramatic structure of the short form, the spectacle of illness and the political significance of embodiment. This is done within the context of reclaiming Hurst as a writer of importance both to the field of medical humanities and to the study of the short form.
本文考察了范妮·赫斯特(Fannie Hurst)的短篇小说《肺结核病》(T.B.”(1915)。作者概述了赫斯特如何使用简短的形式来加强她对二十世纪初纽约结核病的警告。特别的重点是赫斯特的戏剧风格,与短形式的戏剧结构,疾病的奇观和化身的政治意义。这是在收回赫斯特作为一个重要的作家在医学人文领域和短形式的研究的背景下完成的。

Creative non-fiction about a personal experience of early miscarriage, which is a largely hidden loss. Reflecting on experiences in the early 1990s, a background of Northern Irish Catholicism, where women’s fertility is rigorously controlled, both informs attitudes and gives way to an earlier memory in the late seventies, where I felt I was in control of my fertility. However, the present reflection now considers reproductive control as something further than contraception; including those difficult times, when a body edges beyond our wills. Despite all our gains for autonomy and reproductive rights, involuntary miscarriage is a devastating loss, which we do not control.
关于早期流产的个人经历的创造性非小说,这在很大程度上是一种隐藏的损失。回想上世纪90年代初的经历,在北爱尔兰天主教的背景下,女性的生育能力受到严格控制,这既影响了我的态度,也让位于70年代末的早期记忆,当时我觉得我可以控制自己的生育能力。然而,目前的反映现在认为生殖控制是比避孕更进一步的东西;包括那些艰难的时刻,当身体超出我们的意愿时。尽管我们获得了自主权和生育权,但非自愿流产是一种毁灭性的损失,我们无法控制。

Pandemics as the great levellers? Class, community and capital in US-American short stories 流行病是伟大的平衡器?美国短篇小说中的阶级、社区与资本
Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-10-01 DOI: 10.1386/fict_00058_1
C. Birkle
This article focuses on literature’s potential for healing – both medical and sociopolitical – in times of severe crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Affect is an important literary tool to make people aware of social inequalities, in particular reading or writing short stories with the experience of a simultaneous real-life pandemic. Reading is an embodied act through which the reader enters into a dialogue with both the author and the text. Emotions emerge that are often more deeply stored in memory than the words as such, and that changes our perception of the world. This effect is also encapsulated in Siri Hustvedt’s analysis of reading practices, Sara Ahmed’s affect theory and Rita Felski’s four ways of engaging with texts. I analyse John O’Hara’s short story ‘The Doctor’s Son’ (1935), situated in rural Pennsylvania at the time of the 1918 Influenza, and Victor LaValle’s ‘Recognition’ (2020), resonating with the COVID-19 pandemic in an isolated apartment building in New York City. Both stories question the concept of pandemics as the great levellers by pointing out social injustice due to class and ethnic hierarchies. Taking Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ (1842) and Poe’s emphasis on the preconceived and single effect of fear and subsequent horror caused by the ‘Red/Black Death’, as a starting point, the article presents O’Hara’s story as a manifestation of the medical, social and ethnic phenomena at work in 1918: social distancing, facial masks, closed public institutions, people’s resistance to these measures and medical treatment along ethnic and class lines. LaValle’s ‘Recognition’ allows readers a glimpse into the relationship between an unnamed African American woman, who is also the narrator, and Pilar, a Colombian American woman, who dies of the virus. As part of a contemporary Decameron project, ‘Recognition’ stresses the human need for community, communication and, thus mutual human recognition, giving the dead – whether rich or poor – a name and demanding to undo systemic social inequalities. In that sense, literature can heal the nation.
本文重点关注文学在医疗和社会政治方面的治愈潜力,尤其是在COVID-19大流行等严重危机时期。情感是一种重要的文学工具,可以使人们意识到社会不平等,特别是在阅读或撰写同时经历现实大流行的短篇小说时。阅读是一种具体化的行为,读者通过这种行为与作者和文本进行对话。情绪的出现往往比语言本身更深刻地储存在记忆中,这改变了我们对世界的看法。这种影响也体现在Siri Hustvedt对阅读实践的分析、Sara Ahmed的情感理论和Rita Felski的四种与文本互动的方式中。我分析了约翰·奥哈拉(John O ' hara)的短篇小说《医生的儿子》(1935年)和维克多·拉瓦勒(Victor LaValle)的《识别》(2020年),故事发生在1918年流感期间的宾夕法尼亚州农村,故事与纽约市一栋孤立的公寓楼里的COVID-19大流行产生了共鸣。这两个故事都通过指出阶级和种族等级造成的社会不公正,质疑流行病是伟大的平等者的概念。以埃德加·爱伦·坡的《红死病的面具》(1842)和坡对“红/黑死病”引起的恐惧和随后的恐怖的先入为主和单一影响的强调为起点,文章将奥哈拉的故事作为1918年工作中的医学,社会和种族现象的表现:社会距离,面具,封闭的公共机构,人们对这些措施的抵制以及沿着种族和阶级路线的医疗。拉瓦勒的《认出》让读者得以一窥一位不知名的非裔美国妇女(也是叙述者)与死于病毒的哥伦比亚裔美国妇女皮拉尔之间的关系。作为当代十日谈项目的一部分,“承认”强调了人类对社区、交流以及相互承认的需求,给死者——无论贫富——一个名字,并要求消除系统性的社会不平等。从这个意义上说,文学可以治愈民族。
{"title":"Pandemics as the great levellers? Class, community and capital in US-American short stories","authors":"C. Birkle","doi":"10.1386/fict_00058_1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1386/fict_00058_1","url":null,"abstract":"This article focuses on literature’s potential for healing – both medical and sociopolitical – in times of severe crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Affect is an important literary tool to make people aware of social inequalities, in particular reading or writing short stories with the experience of a simultaneous real-life pandemic. Reading is an embodied act through which the reader enters into a dialogue with both the author and the text. Emotions emerge that are often more deeply stored in memory than the words as such, and that changes our perception of the world. This effect is also encapsulated in Siri Hustvedt’s analysis of reading practices, Sara Ahmed’s affect theory and Rita Felski’s four ways of engaging with texts. I analyse John O’Hara’s short story ‘The Doctor’s Son’ (1935), situated in rural Pennsylvania at the time of the 1918 Influenza, and Victor LaValle’s ‘Recognition’ (2020), resonating with the COVID-19 pandemic in an isolated apartment building in New York City. Both stories question the concept of pandemics as the great levellers by pointing out social injustice due to class and ethnic hierarchies. Taking Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ (1842) and Poe’s emphasis on the preconceived and single effect of fear and subsequent horror caused by the ‘Red/Black Death’, as a starting point, the article presents O’Hara’s story as a manifestation of the medical, social and ethnic phenomena at work in 1918: social distancing, facial masks, closed public institutions, people’s resistance to these measures and medical treatment along ethnic and class lines. LaValle’s ‘Recognition’ allows readers a glimpse into the relationship between an unnamed African American woman, who is also the narrator, and Pilar, a Colombian American woman, who dies of the virus. As part of a contemporary Decameron project, ‘Recognition’ stresses the human need for community, communication and, thus mutual human recognition, giving the dead – whether rich or poor – a name and demanding to undo systemic social inequalities. In that sense, literature can heal the nation.","PeriodicalId":36146,"journal":{"name":"Short Fiction in Theory and Practice","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90419312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
