[…]seven thousand dollars a year (and rarely more than fifteen), by adjuncts (former grad students) working at similar rates of pay, and nontenurable instructors with huge workloads and no research agenda. Similarly, research is increasingly performed by a corps of assistants, technicians, and grad students under the supervision of a tenured member of the faculty (who takes the credit, and a better paycheck, but whose own life may well be diminished by the compulsion to serve as a manager, rather than a teacher and scholar). My own contribution to this section discusses the “information university” as a place where grad […]
[…]and communities. Chris Carter ‘s interview with Greg Ulmer traverses many of these themes of critical, experimental, and progressive pedagogy. Exploring the relationship between writing technologies and the formation of critical/resistant subjectivities, Ulmer’s various pedagogical experiments startle but also rebuild, dislodging students and teachers from the ossified relation of discipline and assessment, but preparing them also for a new relationship in shared commitments to social transformation. In such projects as the Florida Research Ensemble, the MeMorial, and the EmerAgency, Ulmer hopes to support the emergence of project identities both collectively conscious of collaborative commitment to emergent issues of justice and […]
[…]Barthes’ jouissance calls up a rapturous, climactic, or even violent bliss in which cultural codes and forms are fractured or transgressed. Joyce, by contrast, invokes Contour to feel the forms we create but cannot see: “I had in mind…the sense of a lover’s caress in which the form expresses itself in successiveness without necessarily any fixation” (167). Both seek a pleasure devoid of intention – from the text as it exists, not as it intends. But Joyce plays more to the tune of the never-ending story in that, unlike Barthes, the pleasure of his text comes without necessarily any climax, […]
[…]but with walls to slam themselves against, this wild, disciplined rough-work straight-faced group” (359). Gravity itself, the novel suggests, is a source of injury, but art may seize it, mold it into “great paths, curves, inertial, intersecting” (418), and hand it back to us as a conscious experience, stripped of some of its ominous force. 4. It was somewhat decentralized, how it all networked While the elegantly curved surfaces of Actress in the House move the reader forward and backward along thematic lines, McElroy’s experiment with narrative structure nevertheless induces a sense of interpretive paranoia. Not for a moment does […]
[…]images on his site. He promptly removed the images, though the content of the site still remained critical of the Bush campaign. Exley’s actions pushed the campaign to buy 260 other domain names, including the hilariously paranoid registering of such addresses as “bushsucks.com,” “bushsux.com” and “bushblows.com.” Anderson, M. “Bush-Whacker, Meet Zack Exley: Computer Consultant, Online Satirist, Pain in the Ass.” Valley Advocate. July 1, 1999: 12, 19. (If you type in the domain names bushblows.com, bushsucks.com or bushbites.com, it sends you directly to the official Bush-Cheney web site. In fact, many derogatory adjectival combinations will send you to the campaign’s […]
[…]preoccupation with content. Beyond this, of course, there is little agreement between them. One group tends to see free verse, or at least the exclusive cultivation of it, as a temporary aberration in poetic history, while the other sees it as a vital revolution that got momentarily stalled, one that they are now themselves carrying to its next logical stage. Historical and ideological considerations? No doubt. But what, one might ask, do they have to do with the making of poetry? With what gets made they clearly may have a lot to do, but as to how good any of […]
[…]seemed to be an unusually high population of pierced and tattooed Librarians who frequented the group. And a few who were working on Library Science degrees as well. Does a nice job of breaking the stereotypes of both who Librarians are, AND who tattooed people are. One of those Librarians, who lives in Columbus Ohio, posted telling us all about her latest work. She had gotten the Alphabet tattooed across her back. Twice. Upper and Lower cases. The font was Bryn Mawr. She even typed up a sketch of what it looked like. I thought that was SO cool. Not […]
[…]of certain mental gymnastics, or, rarely, through the use of constrictive form as with the Oulipo group whom I consider creative cousins. Mental gymnastics: ways of blocking the already formulated in pursuing the unformulated. I try to write in that mental space of 30 seconds where the past claws at the future to produce what we call the present. That helps me get past the premeditated. Remember the future. That helps me avoid the prefabricated. The best things write themselves. I like to set my mind on autopilot. I find it takes me in interesting directions, probably reflecting the structure […]
[…]of code, he adds as an afterthought, “Hey, I didn’t mean to scare you back by using the word code. I’m not now, nor have I ever been a code junkie” (183). Adobe LiveMotion is opposed to Macromedia Flash, in that Flash becomes a prime example of a tool that is unworkable by the masses of artists, of one that gets caught up in the hands of “code-snorting geeks” and has a “big, steep bourgeois learning curve.” Because the possibility of popular struggle relies on the production of a communal identity, Pell’s Little Red Book acts as a call to […]
[…](“private”) time to the revival of grass-roots progressivism – by joining the New Party, working for proportional representation, joining The Nation Associates, buying a radio station (with pooled resources), running for local office, you name it. That’s what terrifies the Right on slow news days when Billy Kristol worries about tenured radicals: they fear that thousands of us, with our decent prose styles, solid typing skills, and compelling pedagogical practices, will actually get our act together and behave like the intelligentsia behaves in other industrialized nations – like a thorn in the side of the forces of privatization. The problem […]
