[…]to implicate the participant as a charged body in public space whose movement and presence become critical agents in structuring the meaning of the work. The primary theme of alienation and the plight of the social outcast is played out through a series of physical tableaus and boundary crossings enacted by the participant as she walks through the urban landscape listening to a patchwork of location-specific spoken narratives delivered in different voices. My hope was to cast the participant into a cycle of alienation and ambivalence as the point of view in the story shifted across narrator, creature, doctor, and […]
[…]the ways the scene builds to another choice. For example, the audience enjoys watching the scene code-named “Seduction.” However, they are also elated when the woman announces that, if the man doesn’t stop wooing her, she will either kiss or slap him. The “cruel” part of the fate role is exemplified by the audience’s delight in controlling whether or not this living human being – separated from them only by a stage and the social constructs of traditional theater – is embraced by soft lips or repeatedly smacked across the face. The nature of the show caused a great deal […]
[…]also occasionally have individual goals that cause them to cooperate or compete within the group. The Gamemaster (GM) – the person who is responsible for setting up and administrating the game progress and often telling the story as it develops – influences the process by choosing which NPCs may appear and by giving the different characters different challenges and goals, and can ultimately determine the entire outcome of the game, depending on how much power the group has agreed to put in the hands of the GM. If our dwarf tries to stab the human he has been paid to […]
[…]abundance of stories I discovered and the tight network between the quests in the series. As I was working on helping Maybell and Tommy Joe to get together, other members of their families asked me for help. One had lost a necklace, which led to my having to slay boars so that she could bake a pie for the horrid little boy at the neighboring farm, who refused to tell me where he’d lost the necklace he’d stolen from her, unless I got him that particular pie. Finally, he told me that a vicious kobold in the nearby mines had […]
[…]as possible at every point. So much for suspense. That would be a fair statement of Klein’s working procedure. Regarding Newman, this is more exact: he is saying, I believe, that the truth of corporate power, despite the obfuscation that Evan is professionally in charge of, is already limpid; there is no call for Pynchonesque paranoia. That is why Evan must be professionally in charge of obfuscation. At the beginning of the novel, Chano, tired and hopeless, tries to discourage direct action against water privatization and depletion. Ayalo responds: “Speak truth to power, pinto? You think power don’t know?” (13). […]
[…]durée of the current world-system. Consenstein, Peter. Literary Memory, Consciousness, and the Group Oulipo. Amsterdam: Rodopi, 2002. A “cognitive approach” to literary analysis that does not lapse into facile explanation. Consenstein might productively be read with The Work of Fiction (Palgrave 2003), a collection edited by Alan Richardson and Ellen Spolsky, and my own Cognitive Fictions (Minnesota 2002). These books are useful for anyone wishing to know where literature and the cognitive sciences intersect (and also how to recognize the much larger area of motor and perceptual concerns where the two fields have nothing at all in common). Consenstein, like […]
[…]scholars who can add their own entries and further annotate the existing ones from our MLA group. Not least, networked media are used at the point where in-depth scholarly work today is done, not in 20-minute presentations at over priced, climate controlled rooms using proprietary technology whose requirements, more often than not, distract from the written and visual concepts being presented. The majority of annotations contributed by our panelists continue, not surprisingly, to reference books in print. Where websites are referenced, however, these are not just presented as links but, using the database designed by ebr site architect Ewan Branda, […]
[…]also animated the scientistic wing of the culture wars, which have combined with bona fide science studies to remind us how inextricably entangled the lines between physical, natural, social, and philosophical ideas and convictions have become, or for that matter, have always been. Here, too, religion and politics still thrash about like many-armed creatures of the deep perpetually locked in mortal struggle. In particular, the psychosocial consequences of evolutionary biological discourse continue to be wrangled over by the “neo-Darwinist” advocates of sociobiology and its cognitive sibling, evolutionary psychology, on the one hand, and the “post-Darwinist” challengers to adaptationist evolutionary dogmas, […]
[…]throughout the book is, what if the future of the university is a future without cultural studies? What if cultural studies has no future? For all the earlier insistence upon rethinking the University, about not prejudging or determining its future iterations, the one thing that seems without question is that cultural studies will/should have a role. Cultural studies seems to serve here as the place of “justice,” that which is beyond critique. In the end I remained unconvinced of the centrality of this discipline; perhaps the future University has no disciplines, as Mark Taylor suggests, or at least none that […]
[…]the first two, the sociologist or historian of literature cannot be sure of the object he or she studies. What anyone calls the institutionalization of literature could turn out to be a fraud. Honda produces cars, but who can say whether any creative writing program produces literature? Criticism is the discipline of uncovering rational bases for saying it, and sociological and historical explanation, if they are to be coherent, necessarily presupposes criticism. This raises a fundamental question of whether McGurl, Lennon, and Glass are, in fact, talking about what someone concerned about the present of literature is concerned about. Every […]
