My analysis, which addresses the heterogeneity of class and linguistic identities among these subjects, corrects the common misidentification of the Chinese in Singapore as de facto members of a universal Chinese diaspora. Instead, my reading grounds characters in the homeland of Singapore but explores their attitudes toward social and spatial elements that produce a feeling of cultural alienation and challenge their sense of national belonging. In this way, I assert that the pressure to constantly reinvent themselves can unmoor Singaporean Chinese from their psychic and physical landscape, especially amid recent immigration from China as well as historical and ongoing urban redevelopment. This process of reinvention leads to a nostalgic yet anxious subjectivity that characters—and critics—may confuse with belonging to a global Chinese diaspora.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"52 1","pages":"141 - 170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41448437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Against theoretical approaches that see descriptions of everyday life as static \"filler\" (Moretti 72), this essay reads quotidian details—particularly details about food and eating—as dynamic narrative motors. Taking up Aminatta Forna's 2018 novel, Happiness, alongside debates in the energy humanities, it seeks to illustrate the way Forna's descriptive investment in metabolic cycles serves as a counterdiscourse to her novel's overt valorization of cosmopolitan resilience. In Happiness, what I call \"metabolic description\" both expands the novel's scale and troubles the ontological boundaries between the eaters and the eaten. It also offers a method of engaging with the energy humanities that moves beyond the thematic to examine the formal. The essay concludes that attention to food descriptions in realist fiction can reveal three things: a literary energy imaginary beyond oil, a dynamic continuity between organism and environment, and an attendant destabilization of the globalized liberal subject.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"52 1","pages":"1 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46654053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on Jonathan H. Grossman's argument for standardization as a paradigm for literary study, my reading shifts the focus from what standardization erodes, which is the emphasis of existing scholarship, to how it works. By revealing standardization's mechanics, the play both undermines the map's authority and uncovers what makes it an effective instrument so as to claim the map's power for the very communities it has marginalized. The play's critical insight is that the standardized topographic map technically treats Irish and English names equivalently, a revelation that allows Friel's characters to appropriate the map's logic for a project of Irish cultural repossession. Learning the new place-names morphs into a metaphor for the development of an Irish English idiom, or a uniquely Irish form of English that could serve as a linguistic home not only for the dispossessed in the fictional town of Baile Beag but also for the cultural exiles in Friel's fraught political moment. Translations offers a case study for how the concept of standardization might inform future postcolonial literary analysis.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"52 1","pages":"39 - 70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ari.2021.0011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45646977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study seeks to address this gap via an archival reading of two early twentieth-century publishing events as part of a wider transnational history: first, the work of the Lovedale Press in South Africa and, second, the English translation of Thomas Mofolo's Chaka published under the auspices of the International Institute of African Languages and Cultures by Oxford University Press. Against the rather vague assertions of dominating colonial publishing practices, this article presents a detailed account of the particular aesthetic and ideological priorities that informed the publishing of African literature in this period and highlights the strategic and inventive practices of African authorship in an inherently asymmetrical colonial publishing field. The essay underlines the longevity of colonial aesthetic and ideological norms in African publishing during the colonial and decolonial periods and the equally long history of African authors' tactical interventions. It also brings a new complexity to established understandings of the publishing field by arguing that the African author as agent and literary craftsperson remains an unrecognisable category within dominant Western schemas.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"52 1","pages":"130 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ari.2021.0013","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47237234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This question has animated scholarly debate in the region and beyond for two decades, and while there is no conclusive answer to it, postcolonial theory has been used to illuminate Eastern Europe's experience of postcommunism and the conflicted legacies of the former system. This essay explores some of the recurring arguments and critical directions in the postcolonial/postcommunist debate, placing particular emphasis on a scholarly compromise between the two: the Polish-born field of postdependence studies, which enables a productive adaptation of postcolonial theory to the specificity of postcommunist cultures. Although the field has been mostly concerned with the Eastern European experience of postdependence, this essay expands the postdependence framework to examine the depiction of postcommunist transitions in three American \"safari novels\": Arthur Phillips' Prague, John Beckman's The Winter Zoo, and Gary Shteyngart's The Russian Debutante's Handbook. In doing so, this essay traces the emergence of the region's post-1989 reliance on the West and of new patterns of cultural representation, which nevertheless still draw from the patterns consolidated during the Cold War.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"52 1","pages":"163 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ari.2021.0015","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48784134","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Borrowing from Jahan Ramazani's concept of transnational poetics, I show how a transnational perspective reveals the cross-cultural content and formal experiments in Asian American poetry. I examine Lum's intercultural representations of two groups of people: Japanese perpetrators and comfort women. Lum's poetic construction of Japanese perpetrators explores ordinary Japanese soldiers' mentalities, adapts Japanese folklore, and engages with Japanese verse haiku. Lum's portrayals of comfort women reveal how the women have been reduced to objects and symbols of national humiliation, and I argue that his juxtaposition of the Nanjing Massacre with other historical traumas emphasizes universal, war-inflicted sexual trauma. Lum's representations of Japanese perpetrators and comfort women work together to undermine nationalist uses of Nanjing Massacre history memory and instead emphasize transnational war traumas and gender oppression. Situated at the intersection of Asian American poetry studies and studies of the Nanjing Massacre, this article hopes to push beyond narrowly US-bound models of criticism for Asian American poetry and highlights how Lum mobilizes an intercultural way of approaching the Nanjing Massacre.","PeriodicalId":51893,"journal":{"name":"ARIEL-A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ENGLISH LITERATURE","volume":"52 1","pages":"131 - 162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ari.2021.0014","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43426371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
