Since tigers were considered exotic and fierce creatures, overpowering these beasts secured a certain cachet for the victor, signifying his virility and manliness. As a result, the encounter between man and the tiger—both in the metaphoric and non-metaphoric sense—provided a literary trope for the twentieth-century writers who associated the animal with the erotic hunger of the male protagonists. By studying the traditional beliefs surrounding these mystical creatures, the present article reads some of the notable literary fictions of the twentieth century that use the tiger as a central animal motif— The Beast in the Jungle (1903), Death in Venice (1912), and The Remains of the Day (1989)—in light of each other.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135145975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing together animal studies, modernist studies, and posthumanist theory, the book argues for an understanding of the human/dog relationship as a case of (two-way) coevolution, not merely (one-way) domestication. Ranging over an array of literary texts including Jack London's Call of the Wild , Virginia Woolf's Flush , J.R. Ackerley's My Dog Tulip , and Samuel Beckett's Three Novels, Canis Modernis finds a sustained concern with dogs' evolution, from early origins to modern breeding practices, in modernist literature. It also shows how encounters with dogs reshaped modernist understandings of the human and of humanist ethics.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135145978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Georges Bataille's concept of \"animality,\" considered as a comparative heuristic, allows for a more coherent articulation of the theoretical underpinnings and implications of this presentation of the animal as a limit to the logical, sequential ordering of coherent meaning through language, or what Bataille refers to in shorthand as \"discourse.\" Ultimately, Bataille theorizes and Barnes embodies an animal poetics that gives expression to that which is not strictly amenable to human sense, and both mark the literary as the site where it becomes possible to gesture beyond the human toward a mode of bestial expression that emerges from the breakdown of human signification.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135145983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By depicting phenomena like animality, disability, and aging in richly imagined worlds, she argues, literary narratives can promote more nuanced engagement with bioethical questions than do the sparse and decontextualized thought experiments commonly employed in philosophical bioethics. Linett reads several novels written across the long twentieth century as literary-philosophical laboratories for testing bioethical claims about the value of different kinds of lives, demonstrating the importance of literary ways of knowing for bioethics. In doing so, she also makes a compelling case for allying animal studies and disability studies, fields that have historically found themselves at odds but that together have much to say about how we can achieve justice for sentient lives of all kinds.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135145976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In The Waves, Woolf targets men's masculinity, elite educations, brutalized boyhoods (at public schools), and their too-easy belonging to literary traditions as causes of male writers' truncated creativity. Louis, Bernard, and Neville exhibit the writerly disabilities Woolf associates with virility in Room. They are also linked to T.S. Eliot, Desmond MacCarthy, and Lytton Strachey, and to modernist experimentalism, realism, and homosexual Hellenism, respectively. In The Waves, Woolf differentiates her aesthetics not only from the \"materialists\"—H.G.

The novel depicts Sasha's lost subjectivity through moments of sexual intimacy, ultimately demonstrating how she cultivates a sense of indifference to prescriptive femininity by rebelling against the stratified anxiousness that has haunted her position as a precarious woman in society. The final scene between Sasha and her neighbour, the \"commis voyager,\" is often read as a dark mimicking of James Joyce's Molly Bloom in Ulysses , with Sasha's intimate affirmation of \"yes—yes—yes …\" as a mode of self-annihilation. Missing from these readings is a consideration of Sasha's encounter with herself, as she stares \"straight into [the commis's] eyes\" to see a vision of herself reflected there, one that recuperates her split subjectivity and solidifies her indifference to normative rhythms of life.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135146002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
