Scholarship on the volume has largely focused on these skillful and scathing critiques, yet another passage in the same poem reads, “Align your list or listlessness” (65). Punning on “grocery list” and the emotional state of “listlessness,” this line juxtaposes the intention represented by “list” with the feelings of ennui and distraction associated with “listlessness.” The shopper with a list is at least marginally self-directed and in control, while the shopper without one is not only “list-less,” but “listless,” sluggish and languidly indifferent.2 Attentive to how","PeriodicalId":44998,"journal":{"name":"CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE","volume":"61 1","pages":"388 - 410"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46763925","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}

As a corrective to scholarship that treats speciesism as the grounds for racism (or appropriately recruits race-based dehumanization as the analogic precedent for animal rights), scholars have turned both to the material histories that connect race and species in counterintuitive ways and to the racialization of animality. Neel Ahuja has reprimanded “the conflation of race and species” in animal studies, wherein racial discourse is assimilated into species discourse, for “flattening out historical contexts that determine the differential use of animal (and other) figures in the process of racialization.”1 A suite of scholarship, including works by Kalpana Rahita Seshadri, Mel Y. Chen, Colleen Boggs, Michael Lundblad, and Claire Jean Kim, has examined the various and varied sites of entanglement between animality and race.","PeriodicalId":44998,"journal":{"name":"CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE","volume":"61 1","pages":"411 - 420"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45942577","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}

Many new and significant works of British theater have focused on staging and debating, giving bodies, faces, words, voices, and emotional lives to this new social group, collective, or class-in-the-making. They have participated in imagining the contours of an identity for this heterogeneous entity and possibly―as political theater―opened more people’s eyes to the intolerable living conditions experienced by those forced to inhabit an insecure state of precarity. Showing vulnerable and insecure bodies and minds onstage reveals how everyday life may feel to specifically situated and embodied members of the precariat by exposing the audience to experiences drenched in stress, anxiety, fear, and anger.

On one hand, as Marjorie Perloff argues, “we expect our poets to produce words, phrases, images, and ironic locutions that we have never heard before.”1 On the other hand, repetition, the “already heard,” is a central feature of poetic language―from the recursivity of rhyme schemes to the patterned reiterations of tropes such as chiasmus, anadiplosis, and epistrophe. Just as intratextual repetition can “set up expectations and guide interpretation” within any given poem, the repetitions of forms, genres, and topoi throughout a diachronic tradition can create a sense of discursive continuity within change.2 From a readerly standpoint, the recognition of repetition can be reassuring, even pleasurable. The danger is that too much repetition, formal or otherwise, risks a deadening predictability. As Williams Carlos Williams polemically stated in 1944, “To me all sonnets say the same thing of no importance.” It is no surprise, then, that standard narratives of modernism have tended to highlight a Poundian poetics of making it new, of breaking free","PeriodicalId":44998,"journal":{"name":"CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE","volume":"61 1","pages":"421 - 428"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48904820","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}

These articles emphasize the remarkable socioeconomic success and upward mobility this group has managed to achieve despite the long history of anti-Asian exclusion and discrimination in the United States. Scholars have called attention to how Asian American model minority discourse has been used to discipline other racial minorities and counter intensifying demands for redistributive justice, as evidenced by the opening passages of the U.S. News and World Report article: “Still being taught in Chinatown is the old idea that people should depend on their own efforts―not a welfare check―in order to reach America’s ‘promised land.’ . . . At a time when it is being proposed that hundreds of billions be spent to uplift Negroes and other minorities, the nation’s 300,000 Chinese-Americans are moving ahead on their own―with no help from anyone else” (6).

She looked emaciated, her hair disheveled. But she appeared in a comfortable state, until the police arrived.” Within twenty-four hours, Schmidt retitled the article “Accounts of Girl Raised by Monkeys in India Questioned” and made an editor’s note available to readers: “New information has been reported since publication of this story that raise significant doubts about the veracity of the initial accounts on which it was based. . . . While the girl appears to have been abandoned near the forest in question . . . officials do not believe she had been living among monkeys.” The updated report confirmed that the monkeys had protected the girl from the police officer who extracted her from the jungle and although the girl was said to screech and walk on all fours, new sources (including chief forestry officer J. P. Singh) found the “wild child” speculation unbelievable. How would she have escaped leopards and other predators in the sanctuary? Why would she be wearing clothes? Why hadn’t anyone living in the area already recognized her?

While she had published individual prose poems in earlier collections, this was the first to be almost entirely in this genre. These poems represent something new for Boyer, working with a number of different voices tied to various models of prose writing. Some of the poems play with forms of memoir writing, such as the blog post or the diary entry, and a number of them engage with more formal, interrogative, essay-like, and at times “scientific” models. The voices tied to these prose models are bound together in Boyer’s collection by a self-conscious, interrogative performance of authorship as the site of critique, exposition, and subject formation. This situation results in a challenge for Boyer’s readers. Her poems reach toward the interrogative and expository capacities of prose writing, including forms like the academic and personal essay, while remaining highly suspicious of the social, economic, and biological contexts of those genres and their purposes. The challenge for readers lies in understanding the manner in which this act negotiates an exchange between gestures toward ideas of purposiveness―stylistic and C H R I S T O P H E R O A K E Y","PeriodicalId":44998,"journal":{"name":"CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE","volume":"163 3","pages":"194 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41290766","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 essay, originally envisioned alongside a suite of photographs by Gordon Parks, discussed the work that the Lafargue Psychiatric Clinic―the first desegregated clinic in the United States―performed for residents of Harlem, a place Ellison describes in the piece as “the scene and symbol of the Negro’s perpetual alienation in the land of his birth.”1 Alienation had taken on a psychotherapeutic as well as an economic meaning: Ellison often overlaid urban space and the psyche. “Harlem Is Nowhere,” like Ellison’s masterwork, Invisible Man (1952), was greatly informed by his work for the Federal Writers’ Project, which involved conducting oral histories in Harlem in 1938 and 1939 that touched on Ellison’s own interest in questions of housing and urban policy―issues inseparable from the catastrophic effects the Great Depression had on a populace already subject to the psychic ruptures and crises of identity that Northern racism, violence, and segregation wrought daily.
