Abstract:This essay benefited from the support of many institutions and people. Adam Bradley and Cheryl Higashida were generous and incisive interlocutors throughout the process. Tom Riis, Maria Windell, David Glimp, Paul Edwards, Mary Caton Lingold, Paula Austin, Greg Laski, and attendees of the 2016 Ralph Ellison Seminar at the Library of Congress engaged with early drafts. Later versions benefited greatly from the critical engagement of Ben Beck, Kurtis Hessel, Jessica Taylor, and two anonymous readers at Arizona Quarterly. Ricky Riccardi (Louis Armstrong House Museum & Archives) provided invaluable research assistance, as did staff at the Library of Congress Manuscript Division and the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. The special collections research was funded by the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Colorado Boulder. Monetary support from the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance, food/housing/childcare support from Carl and Barbara Corey, and the parenting labor of Ash Bell made the final revisions possible.

"A Lakeman and desperado from Buffalo": The Strange Saga of Steelkilt in Moby-Dick “来自布法罗的湖人与亡命之徒”:《白鲸》中斯蒂尔基尔特的奇异传奇

Abstract:This article foregrounds and explores the character of Steelkilt, a lake mariner from Buffalo, New York. Steelkilt takes center stage in Herman Melville's "The Town-Ho's Story," a stand-alone narrative that later appeared as the fifty-fourth chapter of Moby-Dick (1851). Though he has rarely been discussed in depth by critics or scholars, Steelkilt is many important things at once: a representative of a Great Lakes region that was still considered semi-wild at the time of Moby-Dick's publication, a bizarre vessel of violence and brutality, and a troubling symbol of nineteenth-century empire-building and global capital. Through textual analysis and a series of detailed examinations of the character's cultural and geographical milieus, this article sheds light on an obscure but vital corner of Melville's corpus.
摘要:本文以纽约州布法罗市的湖上水手斯蒂尔基尔特为背景,探讨了他的性格特征。斯蒂尔基尔特在赫尔曼·梅尔维尔的《小镇的故事》中占据了中心位置,这是一个独立的叙述,后来成为《白鲸》(1851)的第五十四章。尽管评论家或学者很少对他进行深入的讨论,但斯蒂尔基尔特同时具有许多重要的意义:他是大湖区的代表,在《白鲸》出版时,这个地区仍被认为是半野生的;他是暴力和残暴的怪异船只;他是19世纪帝国建设和全球资本的令人不安的象征。通过文本分析和对人物文化和地理环境的一系列详细考察,本文揭示了梅尔维尔语料库中一个模糊但重要的角落。

Interracial Solidarity and Epistolary Form in Precarious Times: Karen Tei Yamashita's Letters to Memory 动荡时期的种族团结与书信形式——山下克伦泰的《致记忆的信》

Abstract:Karen Tei Yamashita's Letters to Memory (2017) is a familial memoir about Japanese internment told indirectly, repetitively, and recursively through letters directed to modern-day versions of Homer, Ishi, Vyasa, Ananda, and Qohelet. The memoirdemonstrates cyclical patterns of nation- or state-based injustice throughout ancient and modern history, demonstrating what Judith Butler describes as the "precarity" produced by governmentality. At the level of form and theme, the epistolary memoir models ways of resisting the hegemonic and normative logics of state power. The memoir identifies serial moments of possibility where inter-racial identification did lead or might have led to meaningful coalition-building. Simultaneously, the text's recursive structure and nonlinear approach to temporality shares key features with queer theories of utopia and failure. In this way, Yamashita's memoir imagines interracial solidarity as a means to resist racialized precarity. In the process, she opens up new ways of thinking about Japanese internment and life writing.
摘要:Karen Tei Yamashita的《致记忆的信》(2017)是一本关于日本人被拘留的家庭回忆录,通过现代版本的荷马、石破茂、维亚萨、阿难和Qohelet的信件间接、重复和递归地讲述。这本回忆录展示了整个古代和现代历史上基于国家或国家的不公正的循环模式,展示了朱迪斯·巴特勒所描述的政府心态产生的“不稳定”。在形式和主题层面,书信体回忆录塑造了反抗国家权力霸权和规范逻辑的方式。这本回忆录确定了一系列可能的时刻,在这些时刻,种族间的认同确实或可能导致了有意义的联盟建设。同时,文本的递归结构和对时间性的非线性处理与乌托邦和失败的古怪理论有着共同的关键特征。通过这种方式,山下的回忆录将跨种族团结想象成一种抵抗种族不稳定的手段。在这个过程中,她打开了对日本拘留和生活写作的新思考方式。

Between Emerson and His Several Voices 爱默生和他的几种声音之间
IF 0.5 0 LITERATURE, AMERICAN Pub Date : 2020-12-10 DOI: 10.1353/arq.2020.0026
T. Sorensen
Abstract:The voice that speaks in Emerson's essays is neither unified nor straightforwardly identifiable with the author, but plural and ventriloquial. It explores each issue from multiple perspectives and takes on rhetorical postures associated with the perspectives it inhabits. I consider the formal cues through which critics may track subtle shifts in voice and suggest that these same cues might also be useful in reading other authors associated with Transcendentalism. I intend my analysis as a demonstration of new formalist principles. If the content of Emerson's essays denies attribution to an authorial stance, then political significance is directly accountable to literary form.
摘要:在爱默生的散文中,说话的声音既不是统一的,也不是与作者直接识别的,而是复数的、腹语的。它从多个角度探讨每个问题,并采取与它所处的角度相关的修辞姿态。我考虑了评论家可能通过这些形式线索来追踪声音的微妙变化,并建议这些线索在阅读与先验主义有关的其他作者时也可能有用。我打算把我的分析作为对新形式主义原则的论证。如果爱默生散文的内容否认作者的立场,那么政治意义就直接与文学形式有关。

Language Lessons: Translating Jade Snow Wong's Fifth Chinese Daughter and the Making of an Ethnic American 语言课程:翻译王玉雪的《第五个中国女儿》和《一个美国族裔的形成》

Abstract:In 1953, Jade Snow Wong's autobiographical novel Fifth Chinese Daughter was translated by the US government to fight Communism in Southeast Asia. Wong herself was sent abroad soon after to prove that the piece was not propaganda, and that a Chinese could indeed succeed in America's free democracy. And yet, the archival records of this diplomatic tour reveal that Wong worked assiduously to erase the Chinese translators she used while abroad in the Chinese diaspora. This article argues that these disappeared Chinese translators end up revealing the extensive work required to construct the identity of the "ethnic American" on both sides of the Pacific. Reading the Chinese translation of Fifth Chinese Daughter likewise reveals how Wong's diplomacy tour constructed an American identity for Wong back home, ultimately showcasing the ambivalent Cold War logic underlying Wong's transnational creation of an ethnic American.
摘要:1953年,黄玉雪的自传体小说《中国的第五个女儿》被美国政府翻译,以对抗东南亚的共产主义。不久之后,王菲本人被派往国外,以证明这篇文章不是宣传,而且中国人确实可以在美国的自由民主中取得成功。然而,这次外交之旅的档案记录显示,王菲曾努力抹去她在海外华人华侨中使用的中文翻译。本文认为,这些失踪的中国翻译人员最终揭示了在太平洋两岸构建“美国族裔”身份所需要的大量工作。阅读《第五个中国女儿》的中文译本同样可以发现,王家卫的外交之旅如何为王家卫在国内构建了一个美国人的身份,最终展示了王家卫跨国创作一个美国族裔背后的矛盾的冷战逻辑。

T-shirt Modernism and The Performance of Masculinity: The Theatrical Refashionings of Tennessee Williams and William Inge t恤现代主义与男子气概的表现:田纳西·威廉姆斯和威廉·英奇的戏剧重塑

Abstract:Something of a dandy, drawn to the tuxedo life, Tennessee Williams unleashed a gritty, working-class modernity with his theatrical revolution in which undergarments grew emblematic. Williams's images of post-War masculinity would resonate with his protégé, William Inge, continue on the stage, into the iconography of film and further extend through the youth rebellion of the 1950s and 60s, into the tie dye era of the 60s and 70s and the grunge of the 1980s and 90s generating a general shift in American public appearance from suits to sweats. What is here called T-shirt Modernism became acceptable public dress and an emblem of masculinity. Such a tectonic shift in haberdashery and its concomitant exaggerated hyper masculinity owe much to the theatrical revolution unleashed on the Broadway stage by Tennessee Williams (and his collaborators) in December of 1947.
摘要:田纳西·威廉姆斯(Tennessee Williams)有点花花公子的气质,他被燕尾服的生活所吸引,通过他的戏剧革命释放了一种坚韧的工人阶级现代感,在这场革命中,内衣成为了象征。威廉姆斯关于战后男子气概的形象将与他的门生威廉·英格产生共鸣,继续在舞台上,进入电影的图像,并进一步延伸到20世纪50年代和60年代的青年反叛,进入60年代和70年代的扎染时代,以及80年代和90年代的垃圾时代,从而使美国公众形象从西装转向汗衫。这里所谓的T恤现代主义成为了人们可以接受的公共着装和男子气概的象征。服装设计的这种结构性转变及其随之而来的夸张的超男子气概,在很大程度上要归功于田纳西·威廉姆斯(及其合作者)于1947年12月在百老汇舞台上发动的戏剧革命。

Limp Whitman and the Ecopoetics of the Neutral 利普·惠特曼与中性的生态诗学

J. Greenwald
Abstract:Against the common understanding of Walt Whitman as a virile prophet of ecstatic pleasure, this article explores the ecopoetics of “limp Whitman,” an iteration of the poet who surrenders and incapacitates the self not to amplify pleasure, nor to masochistically dissolve the ego, but rather to attenuate the demands he places on the earth and on his own body. In readings of “As I Ebb’d with the Ocean of Life” and “Song of the Rolling Earth” informed by Roland Barthes’s theory of the Neutral, I uncover how these poems mimic the blank expression of the earth, thus releasing it from the anthropocentric expectation that it yield pain, pleasure, or meaning. While the ecopoetics of the Neutral contests queer ecologies founded upon the worldmaking capacity of pleasure, it departs also from “antisocial” queer theory’s embrace of the death drive, offering instead limpness as a mundane yet essential image for ecology.
摘要:在人们普遍认为沃尔特·惠特曼是一位充满活力的狂喜快乐预言家的背景下,本文探讨了“跛脚的惠特曼”的生态诗学,这是诗人的一次迭代,他屈服并使自我丧失能力,不是为了放大快乐,也不是为了受虐地溶解自我,而是为了削弱他对地球和自己身体的要求。在阅读罗兰·巴特的中性理论所提供的《我与生命之海同行》和《翻滚的地球之歌》时,我发现了这些诗歌是如何模仿地球的空白表达的,从而将其从人类中心主义的期望中释放出来,即它会产生痛苦、快乐或意义。虽然中立派的生态诗学与建立在快乐创造世界能力基础上的酷儿生态学相竞争,但它也偏离了“反社会”酷儿理论对死亡驱动力的拥抱,相反,它提供了作为一种世俗但重要的生态学形象的脆弱性。

“Near enough / to be knowingly away”: Cornell ’69 and the Ammons Poetic “足够接近/故意远离”:康奈尔大学69年与《亚扪人诗学》

Abstract:I read the poetry of A.R. Ammons at a critical moment in his career, the late 1960s and early 1970s, by putting it in contact with some contiguous material related to an equally critical moment in American social history. At the center is a “spatial event”: the occupation of the Cornell University student union (Ammons’s institutional ground) by Cornell’s Afro-American Society in April 1969. This “seizure of space” provides the occasion for reflecting on Ammons’s spatial poetics and his persistent adverting to emptiness or nothing, a kind of ontological furthest reach of space, in order to identify the anxious ways in which, often in minor poems on the margins of his practice, he attempts to take in “the Sixties.” I put in dialogue his evolving Daoism and some thinking about space, “social space,” and event, to account for one Sixties poet’s handling of political and aesthetic crisis.
摘要:我在A.R.Ammons职业生涯的关键时刻,即20世纪60年代末和70年代初,通过接触与美国社会史上同样关键时刻相关的一些连续材料,阅读了他的诗歌。中心是一个“空间事件”:1969年4月,康奈尔大学的非裔美国人协会占领了康奈尔大学学生会(Ammons的机构场地)。这种“对空间的攫取”为反思阿蒙斯的空间诗学和他对空或无的持续宣传提供了机会,空或无是一种本体论最远的空间,以确定他试图以焦虑的方式接受“六十年代”,这种焦虑通常在他实践边缘的小诗中出现。我把他不断发展的道家思想和一些关于空间、“社会空间”和事件的思考放在对话中,以解释一位60年代诗人对政治和美学危机的处理。

Amuletic Aesthetics and the Fascination of American Decadence 非混血美学与美国颓废的魅力

Patrick Kindig
Abstract:Reading Harriet Prescott Spofford’s short story “The Amber Gods” (1860) alongside Charles Chesnutt’s “Dave’s Neckliss” (1889) (an example of decadent regionalism), this essay argues that, in both employing ornamental style and incorporating the imagery of enchanted ornament in their writing, Spofford and Chesnutt structure their stories around the aesthetics of the amulet, a species of magical jewelry meant to protect against the evil eye.

摘要:本文通过阅读哈里特·普雷斯科特·斯波福德的短篇小说《琥珀众神》(1860)和查尔斯·切斯纳特的《戴夫的项链》(1889)(颓废地区主义的一个例子),认为斯波福德和切斯纳特在写作中既采用了装饰风格,又融入了迷人的装饰意象,一种神奇的珠宝,用来抵御邪恶的眼睛。这种对优美美学的挪用吸引了读者,吸引了他们的注意力,并将他们从线性、同质的时间流中拉了出来。颓废的风格为19世纪末的作家提供了一种强有力的文化批判工具,这种工具利用华丽装饰的迷人力量来抵制历史进步的逻辑。

Abstract:This essay explores the philosophical roots of the idea that Americans have an obligation to future generations, beginning with Thomas Jefferson’s claim that “the earth belongs in usufruct to the living.” In arguing that living people had no right to bind future people (with debts or laws they had no hand in shaping), Jefferson was making one of the earliest versions of the political claim for intergenerational justice. I then examine the way this idea reemerges in our contemporary moment—in the environmental movement, anxieties about parenting, and films, like The Village, The Truman Show, Pleasantville, WALL-E, The Witch, and Captain Fantastic, that fantasize the creation of pristine, sealed-off, pseudo-utopias. I focus throughout on The Village, because its particular version of a vexed utopia reveals not only the logic of intergenerational justice, but also its limitations.
摘要:本文探讨了美国人对子孙后代负有义务这一观点的哲学根源,从托马斯·杰斐逊的“地球属于活着的人的用益权”开始。他认为活着的人无权约束未来的人(他们无权制定债务或法律),杰斐逊提出了最早的代际正义政治主张。然后,我研究了这种想法在我们当代的重新出现的方式——在环境运动、对养育子女的焦虑,以及电影中,如《村庄》、《杜鲁门秀》、《欢乐谷》、《WALL-E》、《女巫》和《神奇队长》,这些电影幻想着创造原始、封闭的伪乌托邦。我一直关注《村庄》,因为它对一个令人烦恼的乌托邦的特殊版本不仅揭示了代际正义的逻辑,也揭示了它的局限性。
