Read in the light of The Good Story's concern with the stories we tell ourselves about the lives we lead, our relationship to those stories and to their truth or falsity, the stories of Simón and David, their tensions and conflicts with one another and with the sometimes-incompatible stories told by the inhabitants of Novilla, exemplify the contemporary postmodern human condition. In particular, Childhood explores the consequences of what Coetzee calls a common postmodern situation in which someone is aware that a story is not true but nevertheless commits to it wholeheartedly. It shows how lives are changed by the commitment to a particular story and how they unfold as a result of the tensions that develop between individual and collective stories.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135495959","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}

Stevenson critiques the myth that would have us regard these writers as utopic dreamers or as well-meaning disciples of liberation who drew inspiration primarily from the Romantics and American Trascendentalists. While acknowledging these influences, Stevenson demonstrates the Beats were also inheritors of a deeply skeptical, often fatalist and misanthropic \"anti-humanist\" lineage in modern writing with major European exemplars. Stevenson's account provides a complex and thoroughgoing critique of the Beats' often paradoxical relationship to the counterculture, then and now.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135495960","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}

Coetzee's novel, Waiting for the Barbarians , has long been regarded as a political fable that takes place in an abstract, delocalized world. Source material in the Coetzee archive has revealed, however, that far from featuring a completely invented place, Barbarians is in fact set in the very real and recognizable terrain of Xinjiang, the Westernmost province of China. Relocating the novel into Xinjiang's multi-ethnic context has considerable implications for the way we are to understand Coetzee's positioning of civilized and barbarian peoples. It enables us to see how racialization is used to stabilize the abstract concepts of civilization and barbarism, moving beyond the black-white binary of South African apartheid. Perhaps most importantly, it draws attention to the racialized assumptions that readers themselves bring to the text and highlights the tenuous basis on which civilization constructs itself.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135495964","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}

Pace in narrative gauges the movement of a story in a specific direction with respect to time. Dialogue, descriptive summaries, chapter breaks, and other formal elements speed up or slow down the perceived tempo of a narrative. In Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, John le Carré creates pace by exploiting the discrepancies between fabula and syuzhet. By his own admission, he prefers to begin a story as late as possible to induce pressure between the content of a story and the manner of its telling, a pressure that sets and regulates narrative pace.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135495969","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}

Coetzee's doctoral dissertation and his engagement with New Critical, structuralist, and post-structuralist theory serve to frame the question. Like much of Coetzee's fiction, these works directly engage with the figure of the writer and provoke us to think about the ethical and epistemological implications of literary authority.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135495965","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}

Coetzee's novels display a double concern with precarity—the economic, social and political uncertainties suffered by disenfranchised and marginalized characters—and with the precariousness of life, i.e. the vulnerability and fragility of the body. The significance of the moments of close survival consists in the tension between the religious sense of the precarious as that which is undeservedly given and can be revoked at any time, and the purely man-made, political nature of precarity. Barely surviving, the privileged survivors of Coetzee's fictions are reminded that they owe not only their life to luck but also their privilege of being shielded from most threats to life.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135495967","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}

Coetzee's Jesus novel trilogy invite being read as studies in migration that explore the ambiguities of crossing over and arriving in a seeming \"new life,\" as it is repeatedly called. The Childhood of Jesus (2013) and The Schooldays of Jesus (2016) dramatize this arrival as a one-way experience, with no possibility of return. Moreover, key features of the migrant crossing—contingency, isolation, an inarticulable mystery and strangeness, and repetition—are evoked through what we might term a southern poetics, following Coetzee's own definition of the \"one south.\" This southern framing in turn throws light on the provinciality of the trilogy's settings, on the provisional and derivative nature of the lives lived there, and on the precarity of migrant crossings, not least in the south, including the Global South, today.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135495970","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}

Commenting on André Breton’s obsession with the “telepathic girl” of Nadja, Benjamin opined, “the most passionate investigation of telepathic phenomena . . . will not teach us half as much about reading (which is an eminently telepathic process), as the profane illumination of reading about telepathic phenomena.” A second generation of feminist surrealists, however, propeled the movement toward revisionary “illumination” precisely through a deeper engagement with the occult. Coming after Breton’s Parisian circle of the 1920s, Mina Loy, Leonora Carrington, and Ithell Colquhoun from the 1930s onward mined the resources of fin de siècle precognition, telepathy, clairvoyance, spiritual alchemy, and sex magic: opening surrealism to a posthuman biopolitics of community, embodiment, and deep ecology that is yet to come.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43233274","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}

Sebald uses the concept of the Roche limit—the nearest a satellite can come to the object it orbits without being consumed by that object’s gravity— to draw a boundary around human suffering so that in bearing witness, we shall not be destroyed.By using lists to create literary fractals—geometric designs that are self-similar at a fractional dimension—Sebald dramatizes that limit as an equilibrium that art must hold between distance from and proximity to human suffering. He asks readers not merely to bear witness but to find the proximity at which we can hold a steady gaze, unflinching, without being consumed by that suffering. At the Roche limit, we are bound by what we see but not consumed.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45494637","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}
