Doug Steward deposited THE ILLUSIONS OF PHALLIC AGENCY Invisible Man, Totem and Taboo, and the Santa Claus Surprise on MLA Commons 10 years, 9 months ago

For the narrator of Invisible Man, the abjection of women and homosexuals operates at first as a discursive strategy for making the black male’s position more subjectively endurable, but the narrator must eventually confront this discursive strategy as an illusion of hetero-phallic agency, since he continually fails to acquire the sorts of i…[Read more]

The bar of 10% of the membership that resolutions have to pass is a relatively new one, and arguably not a good one, given the general indifference (which those who proposed it probably were counting on). But it is still possible to prove…[Read more]
