At the heart of Bakhtin’s theory lies a vision of literature as comprising various forces in a process of constant shifts and movements that confront a canonical centre. Chinese diaspora poetry, long understood as a marginal literary production in North America, presents an interesting case for our examination of the epistemic preoccupations in the field of literary criticism. What we need in the study of Chinese diaspora poetry is a carnivalistic mode of thinking, or rather unthinking, which is not subject to aesthetic and ideological ‘assimilation from monologic positions.’ Starting from a marginal location, Chinese diaspora poetry has been undergoing a process in which it slowly legitimates the existence of its own styles against the limiting ideological horizons. Moreover, as the notion of carnival suggests, Chinese diaspora poetry itself is not pure or monolithic, but rather multivalent and polyglot; and for the same reason, a ‘carnival sense of the world,’ which accommodates heteroglossical and heterogeneous performances, inscribes a poetic affirmation of cultural difference that allows Chinese diaspora poets to achieve self-definition and self-validation.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2018.1546648","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43392580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the legacy of family destruction, forced assimilation and genocide advanced by colonial powers, and the incursion of nuclear industries on sovereign land, it is unsurprising that Indigenous people have yoked nuclear industry with a history of bio-political efforts to control life and land. In analysing nuclear threats in the poetry of Ali Cobby Eckermann and Lionel Fogarty this article will contextualise and historicise Indigenous Australian relations to the nuclear imaginary. Highlighting the risk to Indigenous communities at each iteration of the nuclear cycle, this essay will contextualise the threats to Country through which Indigenous spiritual lives are unified. It will be argued that Indigenous-led representations of nuclear weaponry can only be properly critiqued when framed through the constructs of race, nationhood and the history of colonisation in Australia.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2018.1546649","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41683930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He argues that the window acts as ‘a connection of inner space with the external world.’ He argues that ‘the teleological emotion with respect to the window is directed almost exclusively from inside to outside.’ Simmel speaks of the window as a mediating entity, a structural attribute that separates. With Simmel’s comments in mind, this essay examines two poems: one from the seventeenth-century by George Herbert, and another from the twentieth-century by Philip Larkin. The essay looks at the different ways the outside is brought inside in Herbert’s religious poem ‘The Windows’ and in Larkin’s poem ‘High Windows.’ The issue at hand considers what appears to be Larkin’s modern existential angst, for as Herbert’s windows symbolise the outside entity of God being brought in to the hearts of the congregation, beyond Larkin’s windows is blue sky that is ‘Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.’ The comparative poetic study demonstrates that the modern window metaphor has taken a new shape. In the modern world, the mediating power of the window has lost the power of mediating faith. Larkin’s poem exemplifies a modern angst absent in Herbert.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2018.1546653","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45275157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Pulitzer-Prize winner Wendy Wasserstein (1950–2006) is good at dramatising the experience of women, especially their experience of ageing anxiety and ageing crises in their middle age. Their quest for identity is problematised in the paper in order to show the fluidity of identity through the passage of time and to represent human life as a continuity. The paper first studies feminist writings about ageing. It asserts that ageing is socially and culturally constructed, instead of biological in nature, and it also argues that women suffer more from the conspiracy of ageism and sexism. Then the paper focuses on Wasserstein’s The Sisters Rosensweig (1991) to examine the influence of the ageing process for middle-aged women and the way they re-identify themselves. Wasserstein also depicts different experiences of female ageing in Isn’t It Romantic (1983), The Heidi Chronicles (1988), An American Daughter (1997), and Third (2005), which constitutes the third section of the paper. Finally, the paper concludes that Wasserstein’s plays demonstrate a feminist analysis of ageing, illustrate diversity of ageing experience, and remind us about social differences in the understanding of female ageing.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2018.1546654","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45572109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often they involve youthful energies, from the Occupy Movements of 2011, to ‘Feel the Bern’, to the Nuit Debout movement in France. My own research has focused on an anti-gas mining protest in Broome, Western Australia. In the wake of violent confrontations with police, the demonstrators suddenly changed tactics and used the occasion of Mother’s Day 2011 to offer the police flowers, soliciting their protection by including them within a ‘We love Broome’ sphere of influence. Wendy Brown’s recent analysis of how the ‘demos’ is being undone goes some of the ways towards rebooting the vocabulary of social analysis. The ‘society’ that seeks ‘our’ participation in ever narrower ways sees burgeoning underneath it a revolution that refuses the language in which that participation is permitted. Love is one of the words that creates the ‘public feelings’ (Lauren Berlant, Kathleen Stewart) uniting this youthful growing society, with its protective bubble that deflects and disarms the order words of a deflating global modernity.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2018.1499332","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45565733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The title chosen by Michel Foucault for one of his major historical studies referred to ‘words and things’, but the relation between those two is not given once and for all. Foucault developed the notion of discourse, which involved articulated sets of words. Discourses he understood to be sayable propositions corresponding to thinkable things. Since the 1970s and 1980s, Foucault’s influence on the humanities and social sciences has been great, and there now exists at least one field of research that owes direct allegiance to his view of discourse: the field of intellectual history. Scholars have come to intellectual history after being trained in a range of disciplines: not just history of various kinds, but philosophy, studies in religion and literary studies. This paper will ask specifically what it can mean in practice to bring to the historical study of discourses a training in which philology has played a part. In the absence of a putative love of discourse, what might it mean to take words as objects of close historical attention?","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2018.1499329","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44788782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
