The Most Curious Career: William Gaddis in Germany

[…]and putting it back together again in order to fully grasp its material being, like the inner workings of a well-crafted clock. As a reader, I probably came well-prepared. Only three years earlier, I had had the privilege of attending the first seminar Hans-Walter Gabler, professor of English Literature at Munich University, offered using his recently published, first-ever critical edition of Ulysses. Naturally, in my early encounters with Gaddis, I deeply sympathized with Steven Moore’s approach as embodied in his Reader’s Guide to William Gaddis’s ‘The Recognitions’ to first and foremost lay bare the literary, cultural, and mythological allusions buried […]

“A Long and Uninterrupted Decline”: Accumulation, Empire, and Built Environments in William Gaddis’s The Recognitions

[…]affecting all areas of life in the postwar period. In doing so, the links between Gaddis’s critical project in The Recognitions and in his mid-career novels become clearer, demonstrating an ongoing critical engagement with the effects of unfettered economic growth that undergirds Gaddis’s wide-ranging engagement with the social, economic, and political realities of his time.

Gaddis Centenary Roundtable: Para-Academic Venues for Discussing Gaddis and Other Innovative Fiction

[…]silent because my presentation was just so non-academic. You know these are all people who are working on books, they’re working on chapters in an anthology, they’re working on their doctorate, and it was just a really funny contrast. But it occurred to me at that moment “yet here I am,” you know, so there is something that’s causing a bit of a bridge there to academia. I just sat there and I remember thinking in my mind we’re going to get to the end of this and I’m not going to have been asked a single question, whereas the […]

Off Center Episode 8: Fanfiction as a Form of Digital Narrativity with Flourish Klink

[…]feedback loops happening, but it really is a networked thing. And you can see this in the way that groups treat characters like you’ll have fandom, and everybody will converge on an idea of who that character is. And sometimes it’s quite different than what’s in the original work, but because everybody has been writing these stories, they come together as one characterization. FK: The other thing I was going to mention is that it can be tempting to say, well, there’s fan studies and there’s all this stuff and that’s basically social science research. Maybe you could do literary […]

Off Center Episode 9: Hypertext as Technology and Literature with Robert Arellano

[…]which I guess is ultimately text. Another thing I remember about it is, I’m not sure it was working even at the time, but there’s a soundtrack, right? RA: I managed to get it working again because RealAudio Player got completely left behind, and so I’ve since reloaded the 8-tracks as MP3’s. There were suggestions of which tracks to play with which chapters. Another note here is that my good old friend Colin Gagon and Will Oldham, there he is again, were the collaborators on the soundtrack. Colin and I played with and toured with Will for many years in the […]

Off Center Episode 10: Immersive Storytelling in Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality with Caitlin Fisher

[…]lab. It’s been just this kind of funny thing that my entire career I’ve generally I moved from working in a solitary practice to working in physical spaces, generally in teams, working collaboratively. SR: I want to read the list because you’re the Director of the Immersive Storytelling Lab at York University, the Augmented Reality Lab, and the Founding Director of the Future Cinema Lab. That’s a lot of labs. CF: It’s a lot of labs. SR: Can you say just a little bit about what all those things are and how you juggle it all? CF: Yeah. So, the […]

Working Progress, Working Title [Automystifstical Plaice]

[…]Their collaboration also became the springboard for John Matthias’s “Working Progress, Working Title [Automystifstical Plaice].” In what some have called his richest poem, Matthias allows the factual details of the Lamarr-Antheil story to expand into a meditation on the “progress” of sound-and-noise, film, film history, history generally — and how the “frequency hoping” of technology, representation, systems of constraint, and sources of power go into the composition of what we call culture. A discussion of “Working Progress” and other Matthias poems can be found in the current issue of Samizdat. Click here to go to the […]

Critical Ecologies

[…]unity. It falls victim to overambition, missing attainable goals in the pursuit of a new ecocritical understanding. The first section of the book examines the history and future of wilderness and features essays by R. Edward Grumbine, Denis Cosgrove, and Max Oelschlaeger. Each writer treats the dual concepts of “wilderness” and “wildness” but there is little common ground among them as to definitions or methodology. As a result, the authors’ collective efforts to illuminate these terms serves instead to obfuscate an already vexing issue of terminology. Differentiating between wilderness and wildness forms a crucial subtext throughout the book, but only […]
