Since Charles Bernstein’s influential essay on William Carlos Williams and the Academy, in some ways little has changed in the way Williams’s work is treated in critical discussion and his presentation in some standard college textbooks. This article looks at some examples and considers work by Stephanie Burt and Robert Pinsky, which suggests an alternative perspective.
自从查尔斯-伯恩斯坦(Charles Bernstein)发表了一篇关于威廉-卡洛斯-威廉斯与学院的极具影响力的文章之后,批评界讨论威廉斯作品的方式以及一些标准的大学教科书对威廉斯的介绍在某些方面几乎没有什么变化。本文列举了一些例子,并考虑了斯蒂芬妮-伯特和罗伯特-平斯基的研究成果,提出了另一种视角。

“No One to Witness and Adjust”: The Academy Still in Peril "无人见证和调整":学院依然岌岌可危

This article is a response to Charles Bernstein’s “The Academy in Peril,” the essay in which he first uses the term “official verse culture.” Using Williams’s convoluted history with leftist magazines in the 1930s and 1940s as an example, it both agrees with Bernstein about their being an official verse and also points to how verse that is often unofficial is also official. It concludes with the author reflecting on poetry’s embeddedness in higher education and what that means for the future.
本文是对查尔斯-伯恩斯坦(Charles Bernstein)的《岌岌可危的学院》(The Academy in Peril)一文的回应,在这篇文章中,伯恩斯坦首次使用了 "官方诗歌文化 "一词。文章以威廉姆斯在 20 世纪 30 年代和 40 年代与左派杂志的曲折历史为例,既同意伯恩斯坦关于官方诗歌的观点,又指出往往非官方的诗歌也是官方的。最后,作者反思了诗歌在高等教育中的嵌入性以及这对未来的意义。

This article reflects on and praises Charles Bernstein’s 1983 MLA talk “The Academy in Peril: William Carlos Williams Meets the MLA” following the occasion of its fortieth anniversary. Picking up on Bernstein’s view of Williams, the article offers a reading of Spring and All, focusing on its varying uses of prose and poetry and its relation to T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land.
本文对查尔斯-伯恩斯坦(Charles Bernstein)在 1983 年文学和艺术协会成立 40 周年之际发表的演讲 "濒临危险的学院:William Carlos Williams Meets the MLA "演讲。文章以伯恩斯坦对威廉斯的看法为基础,对《春与万物》进行了解读,重点关注其散文与诗歌的不同用法以及与 T. S. 艾略特的《荒原》的关系。

No Ideas but in Technology: William Carlos Williams, Concepts of the New, and Electronic Literature 没有思想,只有技术:威廉-卡洛斯-威廉斯、新概念和电子文学
IF 0.1 N/A POETRY Pub Date : 2024-07-01 DOI: 10.5325/willcarlwillrevi.41.1.0030

This article argues that William Carlos Williams’s work foreshadows the evolution of electronic literature, which it suggests is one of the main fields in which poets can now explore new literary directions. The first half of the article inspects concepts of the new in William Carlos Williams’s Spring and All and Charles Bernstein’s landmark essay “The Academy in Peril: William Carlos Williams Meets the MLA.” It speculates on what form the new can now take in contemporary poetry and the relationship between the new and the experimental. It also probes the changes that have taken place in the relationship between poetry, critical writing, and the academy since the publication of Spring and All and Bernstein’s “The Academy in Peril” essay. The second half of the article explores Williams’s involvement in the project The Readies that is a precursor to electronic literature and the manipulation of his poetry in generative computer bots. It also demonstrates how ideas about space, ekphrasis and enjambment expressed in Williams’s essays and creative practice relate to features of electronic literature.
本文认为威廉-卡洛斯-威廉斯的作品预示了电子文学的发展,并认为电子文学是诗人现在探索新文学方向的主要领域之一。文章的前半部分探讨了威廉-卡洛斯-威廉斯的《春天与一切》和查尔斯-伯恩斯坦的里程碑式论文《岌岌可危的学院》中的新概念:William Carlos Williams Meets the MLA "一文中的新概念。文章推测了新诗在当代诗歌中的表现形式,以及新诗与实验诗之间的关系。文章还探讨了自《春与万物》和伯恩斯坦的 "学院危亡 "一文发表以来,诗歌、评论写作和学院之间的关系发生了哪些变化。文章的后半部分探讨了威廉斯参与 "The Readies "项目的情况,该项目是电子文学的先驱,他的诗歌在生成式计算机机器人中得到了处理。文章还论证了威廉斯的散文和创作实践中表达的关于空间、咏叹调和连绵词的思想与电子文学的特点之间的关系。

Spring and All No Longer in Peril 春天,一切不再危险
IF 0.1 N/A POETRY Pub Date : 2024-07-01 DOI: 10.5325/willcarlwillrevi.41.1.0001
Elin Käck
This article revisits a talk at a William Carlos Williams panel that would come to have a major impact on discussions of poetry and poetics, but which also made clear the problematic critical divide between the Williams of the short lyric and the Williams of genre-defying, experimental work, such as Spring and All. The panel took place at the 1983 MLA Convention in New York City, and the speaker was Charles Bernstein. This introductory article to this special issue discusses the original event as well as the talk itself—“The Academy in Peril: William Carlos Williams Meets the MLA”—which has since been published in essay form. In addition, this introduction considers the lasting importance of Spring and All, which was also the topic of a 2023 MLA Williams panel in which Bernstein participated with Bob Perelman and Juliana Spahr to provide their perspectives on the 100th anniversary of Spring and All and the fortieth anniversary of “The Academy in Peril.”
这篇文章重温了威廉-卡洛斯-威廉斯在一次小组讨论会上的发言,该发言对诗歌和诗学的讨论产生了重大影响,同时也明确了短篇抒情诗的威廉斯与《春天与一切》等突破体裁、实验性作品的威廉斯之间存在的批评分歧。讨论会于 1983 年在纽约市举行的文学和艺术协会大会上举行,发言人是查尔斯-伯恩斯坦。本特刊的这篇介绍性文章讨论了最初的活动以及演讲本身--"岌岌可危的学院":William Carlos Williams Meets the MLA"(威廉-卡洛斯-威廉姆斯与文学与艺术协会的会面),该演讲后来以论文形式发表。伯恩斯坦与鲍勃-佩雷尔曼 (Bob Perelman) 和朱莉安娜-斯帕尔 (Juliana Spahr) 一起参加了 2023 年文学和艺术协会威廉斯小组讨论会,就《春与万物》出版 100 周年和 "危难中的学院 "出版 40 周年发表了各自的观点。

Modernist Hangover? William Carlos Williams as Bob Perelman’s Poetic Cure 现代主义宿醉?威廉-卡洛斯-威廉斯是鲍勃-佩雷尔曼的诗歌疗法
IF 0.1 N/A POETRY Pub Date : 2024-07-01 DOI: 10.5325/willcarlwillrevi.41.1.0071
Hélène Aji
This article works through an examination of Bob Perelman’s poems in relation to major Williamsian defining features of the poet, poetic language, and poetics, and asks: Is there a way to recover from a modernist past that has become enshrined and canonized? How to relate to the bewildering inventiveness, as it sometimes walks hand in hand with a stupefying dogmatism? Developing a form of poetic activism over a span of more than fifty years, Perelman has shown growing interest in Williams’s work, the poems and the essays, as possible matrixes for a poetic practice that encompasses the preoccupation with language, the intermedial awareness of the poem’s interactions with the visual, and the ethical commitment to a political and philosophical discourse on the human.
本文结合威廉斯对诗人、诗歌语言和诗学的主要定义特征,对鲍勃-佩雷尔曼的诗歌进行了研究,并提出了以下问题:是否有办法从被奉为圣典的现代主义过去中恢复过来?如何与有时与令人目瞪口呆的教条主义齐头并进的令人困惑的创造性相联系?佩雷尔曼在五十多年的时间里发展了一种诗歌行动主义,他对威廉斯的作品、诗歌和随笔越来越感兴趣,将其视为诗歌实践的可能基质,其中包括对语言的关注、诗歌与视觉互动的媒介意识,以及对人类政治和哲学话语的伦理承诺。

Which Side Are You On? 你站在哪一边?
IF 0.1 N/A POETRY Pub Date : 2024-07-01 DOI: 10.5325/willcarlwillrevi.41.1.0086
Charles Bernstein
Recollections of the author’s 1983 speech on Williams at the MLA Annual Convention led to a critique of his formulation of “official verse culture” with special reference to Randall Jarrell. Are there “sides” in modernist and contemporary American poetry? Some poets seem to be embraced by “both sides” (including, but not at all times, Williams), while others, equally significant, are not. Cultural homogeneity, often unconscious, works against aesthetically necessary diversity. In 1983, as well as in this work, the author employed rhetorical strategies for poetic ends, or possibly vice versa. A strong argument is made for Williams not only as a great poet but a supernal—indeed foundational—thinker for modernist and contemporary poetics.
通过回忆作者 1983 年在文学和艺术协会年会上关于威廉姆斯的演讲,对他提出的 "官方诗歌文化 "进行了批判,并特别提到了兰德尔-贾雷尔(Randall Jarrell)。现代主义和当代美国诗歌是否存在 "两派"?一些诗人似乎被 "双方 "所接受(包括威廉姆斯,但并非始终如此),而另一些同样重要的诗人却没有被接受。文化的同一性,往往是无意识的,与美学上必要的多样性背道而驰。在《1983 年》和这部作品中,作者运用了修辞策略来达到诗歌的目的,反之亦然。威廉斯不仅是一位伟大的诗人,而且是现代主义和当代诗学的奠基人,这一点得到了有力的论证。

William Carlos Williams and the Subject of Aging 威廉-卡洛斯-威廉斯与衰老的主题
Pub Date : 2023-12-01 DOI: 10.5325/willcarlwillrevi.40.2.0206
Stephen Hahn
This essay examines how Williams’s approach to the subject of aging in his poetry developed over time, from an early and inchoate desire for deeper knowledge of life to a complex celebration of aging as an integral part of the life process. It argues that Williams’s treatment of aging subjects (whether identified with the lyric speaker of a poem or a person characterized in a poem) is distinct from that of other major poets, encouraging the reader’s empathetic engagement while also pointing up the aging subject’s resistance to care. The essay concludes that Williams’s distinctive view of death, represented in a poem such as “The Descent,” is one of relinquishment rather than resistance.
这篇文章考察了威廉姆斯在他的诗歌中对衰老主题的处理方式是如何随着时间的推移而发展的,从早期和早期的对生命更深层次知识的渴望,到对衰老作为生命过程不可分割的一部分的复杂庆祝。它认为,威廉姆斯对衰老主体的处理(无论是与一首诗的抒情叙述者还是诗歌中的人物)不同于其他主要诗人,他鼓励读者的移情参与,同时也指出了衰老主体对关怀的抵制。这篇文章的结论是,威廉姆斯对死亡的独特看法是放弃而不是抵抗,这体现在他的《降临》等诗中。

Invisible Labor in William Carlos Williams 威廉-卡洛斯-威廉斯笔下的隐形劳动
Pub Date : 2023-12-01 DOI: 10.5325/willcarlwillrevi.40.2.0165
Florian Gargaillo
Although Williams has been praised for depicting working-class life in verse, many of his poems on the subject are marked by curious evasions. This essay considers three aspects of his approach that have received little attention. First, Williams minimizes or erases working-class people in settings where they would presumably be central. Second, he avoids depicting manual labor entirely or treats it as a metaphor for other forms of work. Third, he opposes any attempts to read his poems about the working class politically, by evoking and then quickly revoking the potential for political allegory. These evasions can be traced back to Williams’s distaste for poetry that places politics over form, as well as his objections to Marxist thought. But the poems also betray doubts about his ability to understand and represent working-class life in light of his more privileged social situation. By close reading a range of canonical and lesser-known poems, this article demonstrates that Williams’s portrayal of the working class is far more slippery, avoidant, and conflicted than the scholarship has acknowledged.
尽管威廉姆斯因用诗歌描绘工人阶级生活而受到称赞,但他关于这一主题的许多诗歌都以奇怪的回避为特征。这篇文章考虑了他的方法中很少受到关注的三个方面。首先,威廉姆斯将工人阶级最小化或抹去了他们可能是中心人物的场景。其次,他避免完全描绘体力劳动,或者将其作为其他形式工作的隐喻。第三,他反对任何从政治角度解读他的关于工人阶级的诗歌的尝试,通过唤起和迅速撤销政治寓言的可能性。这些回避可以追溯到威廉姆斯对将政治置于形式之上的诗歌的厌恶,以及他对马克思主义思想的反对。但这些诗也暴露出人们对他理解和表现工人阶级生活的能力的怀疑,因为他的社会地位更优越。通过仔细阅读一系列经典的和不太为人所知的诗歌,这篇文章证明了威廉姆斯对工人阶级的描绘远比学术界所承认的要狡猾、逃避和矛盾。

A New Language for a New Perception: A Study of the Influence of Chinese Poetry on the Composition of Spring and All 新感知的新语言:中国诗歌对《春天和一切》创作的影响研究
Pub Date : 2023-12-01 DOI: 10.5325/willcarlwillrevi.40.2.0243
Olivier Bochettaz
This essay highlights the numerous evidences of Chinese influences on Williams’s poetry, and particularly on the composition of Spring and All. What was it in Chinese poetry that could help Williams accomplish his poetic modernization which Pound was urging him to perform? In which ways and to which extent did Williams use Chinese poetic forms and concepts to compose his modernist masterpiece? As a continuation of the research of Wai-Lim Yip and Zhaoming Qian, two of the very few scholars who have focused their attention on this topic, this essay asks how much of what is seen by Western critics as poetic innovations by Williams can actually be seen as appropriations or derivations from Chinese language and poetics. It highlights that many of the poetic devices used in Spring and All, Williams’s breakthrough volume as a modernist, are actually either borrowed from traditional Chinese poetics, or result from the fusion of the English language with ideogramic linguistic concepts.
这篇文章强调了中国对威廉姆斯诗歌影响的众多证据,特别是对《春与万物》的创作。中国诗歌中有什么可以帮助威廉姆斯完成庞德敦促他完成的诗歌现代化?威廉斯在创作他的现代主义杰作时,以何种方式、在何种程度上运用了中国的诗歌形式和概念?作为对叶伟林和钱兆明的研究的延续,这两位学者是为数不多的关注这一主题的学者,本文提出了一个问题,即被西方评论家视为威廉姆斯诗歌创新的东西,有多少实际上可以被视为对中国语言和诗学的挪用或衍生。它强调了威廉姆斯作为现代主义作家的突破性作品《春与万物》中使用的许多诗歌手段,实际上要么是借鉴了中国传统诗学,要么是将英语与表意语言概念融合的结果。

It highlights that many of the poetic devices used in Spring and All, Williams’s breakthrough volume as a modernist, are actually either borrowed from traditional Chinese poetics, or result from the fusion of the English language with ideogramic linguistic concepts.","PeriodicalId":53869,"journal":{"name":"WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138614653","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}
