Juan Delgado
In this interview Gordon Lee Johnson discusses his understanding and views of the complex figure known as the trickster. He also describes growing up Cahuilla and Cupeño in the Pala Reservation in southern California, explaining how humor is not monolithic on the Rez and rejecting the Hollywood images of the stoic Indian.

Abstract:This Presidential Address from the 2019 PAMLA Conference treats The Moon and I (1942), a newly recognized play by Samoan-American dramatist John Kneubuhl (1920–1992). With recourse to contexts developed through Kneubuhl's other stage and screen dramas, Orr will discuss the playwright's experiments with the fale aitu (a dramatic Samoan clowning genre) as well as Modernist and postcolonial literary traditions. By turns tragic and comic, Naturalist and Symbolist, Polynesian and Western, The Moon and I emerges as an important work within Kneubuhl's groundbreaking Oceanic Modernism ouevre.

Abstract:This brief article is a critical response to the illustrated portrait The Kelvin Hall Clown (2019), donated to the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA) by Eisner Award–winning and internationally renowned Glasgow-based comics artist Frank Quitely (We3 [Vertigo DC Comics, 2004], All-Star Superman [DC Comics, 2008], and Jupiter's Legacy [Image Comics, 2013–]). The essay contextualizes the portrait of a clown not only in the tensely bound aesthetics of humor and tragedy but also specifically in the context of contemporary Scottish urban literature and culture. From a brief history of Scotland in the 1980s, the essay examines Quitely's portrait as a carefully attuned response to questions of Scottish identity, masculinity, and the role that labor and violence play in the shaping of postindustrial cities like Glasgow. Furthermore, the essay muses on Quitely's work in portraiture, and introduces readers to his portraiture not only as popular covers of superhero comics but also as examples of Quitely's aesthetic and philosophical experiments with concepts of corporeality and faciality, which, in our estimation, offer vitalistic and existential insights that challenge national, classical, transcendent, or Cartesian models of subjectivity.
摘要：这篇短文是对艾斯纳奖获得者、国际知名格拉斯哥漫画艺术家弗兰克·奎特利（Frank Quitely）捐赠给太平洋古代和现代语言协会（PAMLA）的插图肖像《开尔文大厅小丑》（2019）的批评性回应（We3[Vertigo DC comics，2004]、全明星超人[DC comics，2008]和木星的遗产[Image comics，2013-]）。本文不仅将小丑肖像置于幽默和悲剧的紧张美学中，而且具体地置于当代苏格兰城市文学和文化的背景中。从20世纪80年代苏格兰的简史来看，这篇文章审视了Quitely的肖像，认为这是对苏格兰身份、男子气概以及劳工和暴力在格拉斯哥等后工业化城市塑造中所起作用等问题的谨慎回应。此外，本文对Quitely的肖像画作品进行了思考，并向读者介绍了他的肖像画，它不仅是超级英雄漫画的流行封面，也是Quitely对身体和面部概念进行美学和哲学实验的例子，据我们估计，这些实验提供了对民族、古典、超验、，或笛卡尔主观性模型。

During the past 250 years, American road tourism has spanned a continent and reflected numerous cultural and economic modalities. This article explores specific moments and aspects of road tourism from the prerevolutionary era through the twentieth century. Each era noted encompassed specific aspects of technology, class distinction, and even aesthetic appreciation of nature coded to a time and place. For instance, prerevolutionary tourism was a largely regional affair, with wealthy elites taking extended trips to upstate New York to enjoy the beauty of the natural world. Mid-twentieth-century automobile tourism, however, reflected an emergent middle class, with new destinations throughout the American West made possible by widespread car ownership. This article explores road tourism with a specific focus on how the transition to the automobile precipitated the rise of the motel. Route 66 is examined as the apotheosis of road tourism, and two motels—the Wigwam Motel and the Clown Motel—for their employment of nostalgia, cultural appropriation, and the carnivalesque.

Abstract:The history of clowns and the history of comics are interwoven, from the figures of the Commedia dell'arte, and the birth of the modern comic in the 1820s, to the sinister postmodern renderings of the twentieth century such as Stephen King's It and Frank Quitely's unnerving DC Joker. Laurence Grove presents five "quick-fire sideshows" that discuss how and why clowns and comics are interconnected icons of current culture. Both are visual phenomena that draw on text; they are hybrid and contradictory. Both can operate as filters for intense emotion and masks for social comment in difficult times. Or maybe they are just fun.
