I begin by revisiting Wright’s political ideas with a focus on the theme of possession, thereby opening up the possibility to read the novel as Wright’s critique of what C. B. Macpherson calls “possessive individualism,” a conception of the individual as essentially the proprietor of his own person and capacities, for which he owes nothing to society. Clarifying how the novel—including its naturalist narrative form—is structured by the theme of dis/possession, I demonstrate that even Bigger’s seemingly existentialist selfhood is also informed by his sense of possession. From this perspective, I argue that the novel’s controversial ending bespeaks Wright’s aspiration to an alternative to capitalist property relations.","PeriodicalId":42394,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly","volume":"78 1","pages":"27 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47997910","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}

Through the passing plot, the Gothic seeps in to unsettle the slaveholding town of Dawson’s Landing. In this essay, I focus on the novel’s racialized geographies through the haunted house which paradoxically represents Roxy’s oppression as well as facilitates her survival and motherhood by allowing her to remap dominant, white supremacist geographies. While the novel initially centers on domestic houses and the courtroom, the reader becomes drawn to the haunted house. I draw from Black feminist scholarship to argue that the haunted house emerges as the Middle Passage, enabling Roxy and Tom to subvert the logics of the white domestic and insist upon their own desires. To that end the haunted house elucidates the racial and gendered cartography of the novel and Roxy’s agential possibilities.","PeriodicalId":42394,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly","volume":"78 1","pages":"103 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44067677","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}

Their shared scandalous history is described as a \"superstructure raised on the other group of facts.\" Julia aims at social absolution—the overcoming of all the infrastructural determinants that map out the nether regions of the humiliating, humble and abased—what the narrator calls \"the hard worldly basis.\" The story is thus told from the perspective of a keen consciousness—shared by author and protagonist—of the basis-superstructure polarity, a central dialectical motif in Marxian thought. \"Julia Bride\" emerges as an illustration of James's dialectical attempt to depict high-class consciousness as a superstructural phenomenological dynamic beholden to the apprehensive elimination (sublation) of factual life. But repressed History always returns, with a (ghostly) vengeance: the image of Dickens's Nancy in Central Park epitomizes the shocks of dialectical survival.","PeriodicalId":42394,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly","volume":"77 1","pages":"1 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44214648","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}

Alvarez, I argue, frequently deployed the vocabulary of the MFA to negotiate her literary reception amid her marketplace success in the 1990s. Her strategic appeals to discourses of the university redirected the exoticizing and commodifying attentions of the US literary market, soliciting more formalist engagement with her work. Alvarez's writing during this period, particularly her novel ¡Yo! (1997), theorizes creative writing pedagogy in dialogue with multicultural politics, exploring the social applications and limitations of MFA curriculum.","PeriodicalId":42394,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly","volume":"77 1","pages":"61 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43303974","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}

Drawing on Judith Butler's theory of \"grievability\" and the ways others are textually framed as a precursor to war, I explore two contemporary American war texts: Matt Gallagher's Youngblood and Roy Scranton's War Porn. By locating these two novels within the larger discourse of the \"trauma hero\" narrative and considering how both actively depict more complex Iraqi subjectivity, I argue that this kind of war literature offers possibilities for crossing cultural boundaries and exploring new modes of grief. By not only challenging the ideology of the trauma hero narrative, but discomfiting the reader seeking solace within that ideology, both texts ask us to reconceptualize our engagement with our own precarity, as a necessary first step in ethically responding to the precarious lives of those we fight.","PeriodicalId":42394,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly","volume":"77 1","pages":"111 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47984632","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}

Reading Wallace's tennis essays alongside his canonical novel Infinite Jest (1996), I argue that his early experiences with the sport spurred a lifelong intellectual and literary meditation on how merit-based competition structures contemporary American society. The essay places Wallace's tennis writings in dialogue with recent scholarship in sports studies and with influential figures in the history of tennis, including Arthur Ashe and Billie Jean King. It concludes with a reflection on how two contemporary examples of tennis writing, Andre Agassi's Open: An Autobiography and Claudia Rankine's essay on Serena Williams in Citizen: An American Lyric, extend Wallace's line of inquiry about sport and merit into the twenty-first century.","PeriodicalId":42394,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly","volume":"77 1","pages":"113 - 136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48978642","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}

An extraordinarily popular text in its time, Undine was revised repeatedly in a range of media across the century. This essay argues that in order to understand Dunbar-Nelson's unpublished novel, it must be read in relation to Fouqué's mermaid story, major revisions of it by EuroAmerican women and queer writers, as well as African diaspora mermaid stories. Dunbar-Nelson's novel provides a queer critique of the racial melancholy that inheres in Fouqué's story while borrowing from African diaspora stories to modernize the mermaid. Dunbar-Nelson's novel provides us with much to think about as we contemplate the ongoing appeal of the mermaid in our own times.","PeriodicalId":42394,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly","volume":"77 1","pages":"1 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41644831","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}

Richly suggestive yet never pretentious, the author's allusions, whether direct or implied, frame and lend meaning to the rural comings and goings, the occasional violence, and the characteristic speech of The Orchard Keeper's East Tennessee milieu. As an important part of the sumptuous idiom in which McCarthy writes, allusion confers distinction on the story's unsophisticated characters and thereby delivers them from sociological, political, and even literary prejudice, not to mention the contumely of popular culture and urban manners. Attention to the allusive weave facilitates a comprehensive reading of McCarthy's novel, incidentally offering help with textual enigmas left unaddressed or unresolved or unnoticed in prior criticism.","PeriodicalId":42394,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly","volume":"77 1","pages":"27 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42434101","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}

While drink symbolizes human life with all its complexities and contradictions, its opposite, abstinence, exemplifies the inhumaneness of a reduced world view that prioritizes the instrumental logic of capitalism and demands unquestioning subjugation to the given conditions.","PeriodicalId":42394,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly","volume":"77 1","pages":"55 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46752547","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}
