This study traces how Shakespeare is recognized as a cultural and literary icon who is widely respected––however, to students from marginalized communities––is increasingly distant from their psychic reality. With the genesis of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, to the widely critiqued social trauma of police brutality, systematic racism, and other race-based issues––these examples of racial traumas in our contemporary moment are remnants of a longer history that predates our time. When Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) students think of literature that can engage these social issues, Shakespeare is not commonly cited. However, once a dialogic channel is established between Shakespeare's works and students, the playwright's interest in exploring––with complexity––a multiplicity of minoritized perspectives such as persons of color, women, individuals with disabilities, as well as Jewish and Muslim persons become visible. I propose thus that students can bring their questions about race to Shakespeare via what I call experience retrieval exercises. I import my experience of using this pedagogical approach with university students reading <i>The Tempest</i> (1611), which galvanizes students to recognize Shakespeare's works as rich intellectual touchstones to engage their questions about our uncritiqued biases on race and empire building.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45243,"journal":{"name":"Literature Compass","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143535954","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}

Eliot and J.M. Coetzee. The paper examines the early twentieth-century shift from holistic disease models to germ theory, paralleling this scientific evolution with Eliot's use of chemical metaphors in “Tradition and the Individual Talent.” Eliot's essay is analyzed alongside scientific insights from scholars like Michael Whitworth and Kevin Brazil, highlighting the blend of personal insight and historical awareness in poetic and scientific innovation. This analysis extends to Coetzee's <i>Age of Iron</i>, contrasting Eliot's impersonal poetics with Coetzee's nuanced exploration of cancer, apartheid, and racial and gendered bodies. Through an immunological lens, the paper delves into how literature can challenge canonical boundaries, advocate for inclusive narratives, and foster cross-racial empathy. By drawing parallels between medical narratives and literary expressions of illness and identity, it proposes literature as a means to navigate and reconcile the divides between health, the body, and the postcolonial other.</p>","PeriodicalId":45243,"journal":{"name":"Literature Compass","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/lic3.70017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143119713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most horrific examples of this practice are when medievalisms appear on the weapons and in the manifestos of white nationalist terrorists. We cannot know definitively if Brenton Tarrant, or Anders Breivik, both white nationalist terrorists, have read specific Old English poems, but white nationalist forum, Stormfront, and white nationalist book collection, The Colchester Collection, include references to, or full-text translations of the Old English poems <i>The Wanderer</i> and <i>The Seafarer</i>. By exploring the isolated heroicism, displacement, and ironic nostalgia in these Old English poems, the reasons for white nationalists' niche interest in and identification with Anglo-Saxon peoples and Old English poetry become clear. White nationalists believe the global “white” community is threatened by mass immigration from non-European countries and that the only way to protect “whites” is to take up arms. Since not all white nationalists can reside in Europe, they use medieval references to bolster the idea of Europe as an ethnoracial home for all “white” peoples. White nationalist terrorists specifically use medievalisms to portray themselves as isolated heroes, like the Anglo-Saxon warrior in exile, avenging the loss of “white” land.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45243,"journal":{"name":"Literature Compass","volume":"21 10-12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142861329","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 this introduction we invite readers to navigate literary and other creative expressions emerging from these relations in the 20th and early 21st centuries. Critic Epeli Hau‘ofa (1993) disrupts colonial and capitalist constructions of the Pacific that frame its islands as sparse and isolated, and reminds the world that ‘Oceania is vast, Oceania is expanding’. Prior to Hau‘ofa's assertions, Albert Wendt points out that creative works allow people to engage with the diverse connections and mobility that Oceania makes possible. More recently, Alice Te Punga Somerville reasserts that the beings and lands of Oceania do not fit into the categories forced by colonial borders, as ‘Oceania proposes a dynamic regional sensibility that enlarges and puts pressure on contemporary structures of nature and region’. Yet, there are few publications, especially emerging from UK and European publishers, that prioritise the globality of Oceania expressed through its literatures. Entering the conversations sustained by scholars of Oceania, this special issue on ‘Some Global Visions from Oceania’ asks readers to think about what the ‘global’ looks like when centred in Indigenous Oceania, rather than in a Euro-American centre.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45243,"journal":{"name":"Literature Compass","volume":"21 10-12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142708229","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}

Although Papua New Guinean writer-scholar Steven Winduo argued 2 decades ago for the need to unwrite Eurocentric views of an ‘imagined Oceania’ and Māori writer Keri Hulme wrote disparagingly of Anglocentric ‘gods of Literature’, Samoan fantasy writer Lani Wendt Young has more recently described traditional publishing houses as ‘white castles of literature’. Indigenous peoples across Kiwa's great ocean do not need the empire's eyes. Māori do not need the empire's eyes; we have seen ourselves in our narratives since our primordial parents, Ranginui and Papatūānuku, were separated. Yet too often, Indigenous wāhine bodies in fiction are read as stereotyped features of indigeneity or are simply ignored. As a single connecting node to the wider literary networks of Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, this paper recentres oft-overlooked Indigenous rhythms and offers a wahine Māori reading of wāhine Māori lives in stories written by wāhine Māori. Specifically, this essay recentres wāhine Māori lives by weaving together extracts of the poem, ‘this tauiwi house’, with contemplations of wāhine bodies in two short stories written by wāhine Māori: ‘Flower Girls’ by Patricia Grace and ‘Birth Rights’ by J. C. Hart. Ultimately, careful readings of wāhine bodies offer rich insights into the wider tapestry of Indigenous lives and the societies we inhabit across Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45243,"journal":{"name":"Literature Compass","volume":"21 10-12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142708223","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}

The literary multilingualism of Vaite's books constitutes an active medium of diasporic and Indigenous identity assertion. Drawing from Pacific concepts of diaspora, Indigeneity, and postcolonialism, I explore how Vaite's languages reflect Pacific connections and actively sustain links between Pacific peoples, notably through colonial critiques and the thematic of movement. Mā‘ohi scholar Kareva Mateata-Allain uses the metaphor of the va'a (the Tahitian canoe) to posit literature as a tool that enables crossing the invisible, colonial barriers between Francophone and Anglophone regions and peoples (2005, 2008). Considering the isolating power of the French language in a region dominated by English, Mateata-Allain's approach underlines the wish of Mā‘ohi authors, including Vaite, to prioritize common Pacific experiences. Since Vaite's stitching of languages defies conceptions of linguistic zones in Oceania, I consider her use of English and of her three native languages from Mā‘ohi Nui as a strategy that decentralizes cultural experiences and identities and relocates them in a literary space that is uniquely hers.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":45243,"journal":{"name":"Literature Compass","volume":"21 10-12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142708222","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}
