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":"46 1","pages":"158 - 176"},"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":"46 1","pages":"34 - 47"},"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}

His 1962 novel Mother Night is no exception; even Vonnegut scholars tend to emphasize the book’s absurdity and the cartoonish nature of its characters. But previously neglected historical background reveals parallels between Vonnegut’s characters and specific real-life American fascists active in the 1930s and 40s. Mother Night engages deeply and meaningfully with American history as it exposes the bona fide danger of a virulently fascist and white supremacist underbelly in America that did not disappear with the defeat of the Nazis in 1945.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"46 1","pages":"141 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42597604","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}

Such luck has a key bearing on the moral intelligibility of plot and character in Lord Jim. This is a novel that supports two sides of a paradox: morality should and should not be influenced by the vagaries of luck. There is no obvious resolution to this double vision in Conrad and it leads him to question the coherence of morality as a general system. He also doubts—however paradoxically—its basic fairness. If luck is all-pervasive, then justice itself is unjust.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"46 1","pages":"1 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42475879","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}

What draws McEwan to Virginia Woolf and James Joyce is not simply modernist form per se, but its secularizing potential, though one McEwan sees as incompletely realized. McEwan’s novel Saturday (2005) completes the secularizing work of modernist form by grounding it in materialist, brain-based cognition, a reading of the novel supported by a genetic view of McEwan’s notebooks and drafts. Saturday, and McEwan’s fiction generally, emerge as much more stridently secular than recent studies of his work’s sincerity and commitment suggest. Identifying this set of affiliations across the modern and contemporary novel further develops the form’s secular genealogy.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"46 1","pages":"66 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46522485","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}

Analyzing the novel and Stein’s studies of others’ behavior through the conceptual lens of linguistic anthropology shows that her aesthetic idiom invokes social forms by emphasizing certain poetic structures of everyday discourse. More specifically, Stein composes Americans around a principle of diagrammatic signification whereby resemblances between people in terms of “ kinds” or “natures” are projected from ritual structures of interaction. For Stein, then, intelligible kinds are a cultural product of repetitive semiotic activity. Recognizing the social and historical currency of the novel’s non-denotational modes of meaning shifts the conversation about her writing further toward a consideration of how its linguistic indeterminacy contributes to a critique of normative social forms.","PeriodicalId":44453,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MODERN LITERATURE","volume":"46 1","pages":"120 - 140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46128999","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}
