Focusing on first-person narratives, I look at the strategies of rationalization employed by people entering commercial surrogacy contracts, particularly in relation to the monetary exchange. I argue that even though the ethics of financial compensation is not questioned in most narratives by surrogates and intended mothers, the normalizing discourse on American surrogacy requires the issue of money to be downplayed – instead surrogacy is presented as an altruistic “gift of life.”","PeriodicalId":384144,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal for American Studies","volume":"58 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120896850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is set in the context of the Reagan administration’s approach towards the Soviet Union and based on and clarified with illustrations drawn from the “Bear” commercial.

ABC’s North and South (Book I and Book II) Miniseries as an Expression of Reaganite Ideology 美国广播公司的南北(第一册和第二册)迷你剧是里根主义意识形态的表达

Wolper’s adaptation of North and South (Book I and Book II) with Reaganite ideology. It discusses the modifications of the original text (characters and events) to demonstrate how a Civil War novel has been transformed into a mirror image of Reaganite America. Wolper’s TV adaptation forms part of Ronald Reagan’s governing narrative of building one and strong America. The positive investment in the past – sanitizing or eliminating socially divisive issues, such as slavery and promoting core values such as family – helps to reach the national consensus on history that everybody (Southerners and Northerners) can identify with. Wrapped in the 1980s aesthetics of opulence, Wolper’s adaptation conveys a message of America’s greatness, attainable under the Lincoln-Reagan rallying cry “we must all stand united as Americans.”","PeriodicalId":384144,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal for American Studies","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116984496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

“One of Those Guys in the Movies”: Juvenile Rebellion and Carnal Subjectivity in J. D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye “电影里的那些家伙之一”:塞林格《麦田里的守望者》中的青少年叛逆与肉体主体性

Salinger’s classical initiation novel The Catcher in the Rye starts out with a scene of blatant rejection of traditional Hollywood movies. “If there’s one thing I hate,” the first-person narrator Holden Caulfield tells us in the book’s opening passage, “it’s the movies.” Despite – or maybe because of – this harsh initial claim, the novel continues to nourish the impression that the narrative voice is, in fact, enthralled by the world of cinema. In my\u0000essay, I will argue that the love-hate-relationship between the protagonist and the cinema is vital to an understanding of the literary aesthetics of The Catcher in the Rye. Furthermore, I want to show to what extent the paradoxical notion of resistance to / love of movie images is connected to the concept of juvenile rebellion cultivated throughout the novel. Interestingly enough, Catcher not only mimics its protagonist’s tentative acceptance of a “movie-made” environment. It also, quite literally, absorbs and reconstructs the aesthetic patterns attributed to cinema via its vivid re-enactment of the character’s personality. Cinematic texts, film scholar Vivian Sobchack holds, are capable of producing sensations in the audience that go far beyond the level of visualization. In The Catcher in the Rye, I argue, a “cinematic” process of involvement of the recipient is set in motion. The act of reading here becomes an act of passionate interaction with the novel which unleashes not only the figurative potential of the text but also the creative abilities of our own imagination. While perusing the novel, we are led to believe that we are actually there when Holden undertakes his odyssey through the city. By deploying sophisticated strategies of spontaneous activation and visceral involvement – techniques also used in film to achieve an effect of reality – the novel thus literally operates as a film.","PeriodicalId":384144,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal for American Studies","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128486442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an attempt to work out an approach that, while keeping the biographical in view, is an alternative to the way in which the biographical has functioned in recent Ashbery scholarship. In discussing Ashbery’s strategy, I use the neo-pragmatist idea of aesthetic self-creation, especially a version of it developed by Alexander Nehamas in his writings on aesthetic objects. The term I am developing to discuss the variety of self-creation in Ashbery is “the emerging self,” and I see it as a component of a poetics which I am calling the pragmatist ironist poetics of plenitude. The emerging self of the poetics of plenitude, rising over the expanse of a lifetime of poetry writing, is a type of poetic authorial subjectivity whose relation to the empirical facts of the author’s biography reverses the relation between poetry and biography found in confessional poetry. The poetics of plenitude shows the biographical fact to be dependent on the poetic element on which it relies for its authenticity. Within the poetics of plenitude, it is the poetic that is the real and authentic.","PeriodicalId":384144,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal for American Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133359580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anders’s project, well-grounded and well-designed, attempts to do away with numerous stereotypes concerning homegirls\u0000in L.A. and to portray a credible picture of gang life in Echo Park. At the same time, Anders’s approach is relatively “partial in its one-sided view of la vida loca,” which inevitably leads to further stereotyping of Chicana homegirls (Fregoso 97).

Inspired by two sculptures of women, Gaston Lachaise’s La Montagne and Vital Debray’s statue of Joséphine de Beauharnais, the poems in question are at once representations of works of art and of femininity. It is as such that they are scrutinized in an analysis which focuses on poetry, the visual arts and femininity. The article deals with Crane’s use of ekphrasis as a genre, but also with his resections on time and space, the domains of poetry and sculpture respectively. It also delves into a number of connections evidenced in “Interludium” and “To the Empress Josephine’s Statue”: the one between creation and procreation, understood as maternity, and thus between art and femininity, as well as the ones between femininity on the one hand, and nature, mysticism, morality and history on the other.","PeriodicalId":384144,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal for American Studies","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134157377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
