TC Women’s and Gender Studies on Humanities Commons 8 years, 8 months agoMy subject is an archive of gay and lesbian activism that helps us understand a postcolonial counterpublic.

Kanika Batra deposited Worlding Sexualities under Apartheid: From Gay Liberation to a Queer Afropolitanism in the group
TC Women’s and Gender Studies on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoExamining gay journalism as gay liberation literature, this essay forwards a cultural history of sexuality informed by comparative urban and queer studies. My main argument is that gay liberation literature under apartheid lags behind important shifts in sexual activism; and my larger aim is to extend the valences of postcolonial queer studies…[Read more]

John Edward Streamas replied to the topic post 9/11 american poetry in the discussion
Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoNo, I’m afraid that in my department (Critical Culture, Gender, and Race Studies) the people who keep up with contemporary lit are fiction people. Personally, I know no one who reads contemporary poetry very much, or at least who writes much about it. In fall, in my Introduction to Asian Pacific American lit class, I will assign the new book of…[Read more]

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoOh no. I have been, and continue to be, extremely busy with several ongoing projects, including the writing of a book proposal. I would have no time or opportunity for a collaboration for quite some time. Moreover, I sense that your knowledge of contemporary poetry greatly exceeds mine. I know several writers’ work fairly well, but don’t keep up…[Read more]

Mary Dockray-Miller deposited The Feminized Cross of the Dream of the Rood in the group
TC Women’s and Gender Studies on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoThe performances of Christ in the text of The Dream of the Rood construct a masculinity for Christ that is majestic, martial, and specifically heterosexual and that relies on a fragile opposition with a femininity defined as dominated Other in the figure of the Cross. His particularly constructed masculinity, explored rather than merely assumed or…[Read more]

Joydeep Chakraborty replied to the topic post 9/11 american poetry in the discussion
Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoYou are indeed right to point out the illegitimacy of categorising 9/11 poems into ‘early’ and ‘late’. In making such distinction I was partly guided by Introduction to Literature After 9/11 by Ann Keniston and Jeanne Quinn, which makes a distinction between ‘earliest’ and ‘later’ 9/11 poems. But now I understand that such distinction is not quite…[Read more]

LLC 20th- and 21st-Century American on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoNoticeably absent from much of the criticism on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Beautiful and Damned is an examination of Gloria Patch and her role in Fitzgerald’s treatment of war.

Ross Tangedal deposited Designed to Amuse: Hemingway’s The Torrents of Spring and Intertextual Comedy in the group
LLC 20th- and 21st-Century American on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoEasily the least-mentioned (and read) of Ernest Hemingway’s works (proven by its lack of critical attention), The Torrents of Spring merits rereading for its intertextual play. Hemingway’s use of embedded author’s notes throughout the text guides readers to a more fully aware young writer who offers critiques of composition, authorship, pri…[Read more]

John Edward Streamas replied to the topic post 9/11 american poetry in the discussion
Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 8 months agoI think the proposal is impressive, though I am concerned about the scale of the period covered. Is it possible to speak of “early” and “late” reactions to an event that happened less than sixteen years ago? I see that the anthology was published in 2002, the year following 9/11. I had a poem in the Poets Against War website in 2003, and looking…[Read more]
