Abstract: We are eager to call attention to Jacques Lacan's reconsideration of the mirror stage in Seminar X: Anxiety, recently published in English for the first time. In Seminar X, Lacan was finding a way to fuse his own earlier thinking on childhood development with a fresh analysis of Sigmund Freud's 1919 essay "The 'Uncanny.'" Given that Lacan's influential 1949 essay "The Mirror Stage as Formative of the I Function as Revealed in Psychoanalytic Experience" can be read as a rewriting of Freud's 1914 essay "On Narcissism: An Introduction," and thus can be understood as part of Lacan's broad project of returning to Freud's original texts, we will suggest that, in the sessions from Seminar X spanning late November through ...

Abstract: I just knew in a quiet way I was ruined. If I agreed to be female.Chris kraus's I Love Dick (1997) is a polarizing, genre-blurring book of contemporary feminist literature that continues to perplex and thrill readers with its weird modes of articulation. Brassily sharp yet self-consciously complicit in her critiques of theory and the art world, the protagonist Chris Kraus is a barely-fictionalized version of the author who writes through the end of her marriage to her then-husband Sylvere Lotringer-the French-American cultural critic and founding editor of Semiotext(e) press. The plot of I Love Dick centres around Kraus's obsession with a man named Dick, a British writer and theorist whom she meets in the opening ... Read More PubDate: 2022-01-08T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Philosophy, which once seemed passé, remains alive because the moment of its realization was missed.I wonder which came first in 1979: Dick Hebdige's foundational analysis of the rise of punk rock, Subculture: The Meaning of Style, or the pronouncement by Crass, "Yes that's right, punk is dead," in their song "Punk is Dead"' The two events stand as memorials erected to mark the demise of punk even as they create some of the conditions that would prove essential for the survival of punk beyond its death. What does the pronouncement of death mean for punk culture and how might it be thought as a productive force that organizes the subculture in certain ways' What kinds of meaning and effects does it generate, and ...

Abstract: I am interested in poems about poems. What should we call them' They are obviously a kind of ekphrasis: art that comments on art. But the term ekphrasis is more commonly associated with poems about visual images than it is with poems about poems. In his frequently cited study of ekphrasis, James A.W Heffernan stresses its pictorial focus. He says that ekphrastic literature can be understood as "the verbal representation of graphic representation" (299). It "typically delivers from the pregnant moment of graphic art" what Heffernan calls "its embryonically narrative impulse." Through this kind of narrative deliverance, ekphrastic works "make explicit the story that graphic art tells only by implication" (301). In ... Read More PubDate: 2022-01-08T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Everyone is free to do their own ebooks their own way.Our lives are incarnations of the stories we tell, the stories told about us, and the stories we inherit.The violent standoff between white supremacists and anti-racist counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, on 12 August 2017, galvanized a series of debates regarding the removal of Confederate symbols in the United States of America.1 Ten days later, groups in Canada, Colonialism No More and the Saskatchewan Coalition Against Racism, organized a rally and began circulating a petition for the removal of a statue of Canada's First Prime Minister John A. Mcdonald in Victoria Park in Regina, Saskatchewan. The groups called for its removal on account of ... Read More PubDate: 2022-01-08T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: For My Daughter DianaThe story of the loss and regaining of identity" may not be "the framework of all literature," as Northrop Frye asserts in The Educated Imagination (21), but it is undeniably the frame within which Tina Fey weaves the fabric of Mean Girls. At the heart of the autobiographical tale that Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) tells in the movie's retrospective voice-overs lies a comedic narrative of Bildung in which Cady loses her identity and moral compass and eventually regains them at a mature level of consciousness of the sort that scholars of William Blake usefully call "higher innocence." From the outset, she is positioned as an innocent in the alien and hostile environment of North Shore High—Blake's ... Read More PubDate: 2022-01-08T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: When one glances at the title of this book, one might understandably assume it is about Mennonite artists, or art about Mennonites. In fact, it is neither of these directly, although it touches on both. The title Making Believe is dynamic and questioning, pointing to Redekop's premise that the concepts "Mennonite" and "art" interact in a spielraum, a playing space for tricksters and clowns that challenge anyone who dares to pin down definitions of either notion.While Redekop says there is "no such thing as Mennonite art," (xiv–xv) her study nevertheless describes a renaissance or "flowering" of art by Mennonites that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s. She quotes Andris Taskans who described this as a "Mennonite ... Read More PubDate: 2022-01-08T00:00:00-05:00
