This article examines encounters with the telegraph in mid-nineteenth century Black biography, focusing on the technology's role as a surveillance network that reshaped freedom-seekers' concept of American location. This historical precedent to location tracking inflicted a severe form of psychic dislocation that calls into question conventional understandings of the data of slavery. The existential disorientation recorded in this genre challenges inherited notions of history, while also guiding our navigation of contemporary technoculture and the social disparities it sustains.","PeriodicalId":8384,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly: A Journal of American Literature, Culture, and Theory","volume":"26 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140277778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tourgée wrote best-selling novels based on his days fighting the Klan and trying to reconstruct North Carolina. Recently his fiction and his role as Homer Plessy's lead attorney have received renewed attention. But the work to which he devoted most energy remains forgotten. Speaking directly to today's world of ongoing racial injustice and income inequality, \"89 (1888) is told by the Grand Master of the Order of the Southern Cross. He and a northern monopolist based on J.D. Rockefeller conspire to bring about peaceful secession of the South and suppression of northern workers. After summarizing the book's elaborate dystopian plot, the essay details how Tourgée forged the often-forgotten historical events on which it is based into a novel that, better than any work of the time, warned the nation of the threat posed by what W.E.B. Du Bois called the \"bargain between Big Business and the South.\"","PeriodicalId":8384,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly: A Journal of American Literature, Culture, and Theory","volume":"57 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140271356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the Divide: Reading Cather Against the Binary 在鸿沟上阅读凯瑟，反对二元对立

In so doing, Cather creates a world in which almost everyone’s gender is non-binary to some extent. Drawing on the work of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Jay Prosser, Jack Halberstam, and Chris Coffman, I contend that Cather anticipates current debates in queer theory by showing how thinking about transgender subjects and sexuality together alters how we understand fundamental terms like “homosexuality.” Finally, I show where the text reaches its limit, unable to shed its rigid taxonomy of “kinds” of people. Instead, we would do well to promote a discourse of “unkindness,” in which changes in gender identity and presentation, like those in Cather’s own life, can be acknowledged.","PeriodicalId":8384,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly: A Journal of American Literature, Culture, and Theory","volume":" 34","pages":"1 - 21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138614136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scrutinizing Presbyterian leaders’ response to slavery both at a public camp meeting and at a private gathering of Northern and Southern ministers, Stowe assigns the main responsibility for slavery to Protestant ministers fearful of losing cultural power amid the intense denominational competition of the nineteenth century. In particular, she shows how the clergy justified silence on the issue of slavery by assigning slavery to a secular, civil sphere and narrowly defining the Christian church’s realm as purely spiritual, even as those same clergy advanced a nationalist political agenda.","PeriodicalId":8384,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly: A Journal of American Literature, Culture, and Theory","volume":"30 46","pages":"128 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138623769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grounded in suggestive correspondences between geographically distant, but conceptually allied narratives, James’s novel appears to invert the moral compass of Goethe’s bildungsroman to craft Maisie’s misguidedness and perhaps that of her narrator. While distancing Maisie from the preconceptions of the narrator, I credit, as a foreshadowing of What Maisie Knew, James’s allusion—in his personal review of the Meister narratives—to “pernicious conclusions.” Features of both Mignon and Felix, as transposed by James, resurface in Maisie, while Wilhelm morphs into a predatory Sir Claude.","PeriodicalId":8384,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly: A Journal of American Literature, Culture, and Theory","volume":"18 S27","pages":"23 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138623133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that Barks’ attempt to reveal the universal message inherent in Rumi’s verses effectively de-Islamizes Rumi’s oeuvre and personality as his translation strategy entails elimination of particulars of Islamic culture and adaptation of the poems to the taste and sensitivities of the implied readers. In effect, Barks contributes to the Americanization of Rumi, which ultimately cast him as a “New Age guru” with romantic sensibilities.","PeriodicalId":8384,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly: A Journal of American Literature, Culture, and Theory","volume":" 984","pages":"71 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138610687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyzing the aural language that suffuses The Narrative of Frederick Douglass, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?,” and The Heroic Slave, and comparing and contrasting Douglass’s use of this language that of Garrison, this article contends that Douglass’ distinct sonic interventions made audible the limitations of a political affinity predicated on the cultivation of preexisting antislavery sentiments. Douglass’s revisions to, and embellishments upon, prevailing sonic antislavery rhetoric afforded him a sensuous, affecting language for conveying the need for the radical reorientation of moderate Northern sensibilities towards the disavowed interiority of the enslaved.","PeriodicalId":8384,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly: A Journal of American Literature, Culture, and Theory","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135640191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Misread by some critics as a memoir about the decision not to have a child, the novel instead emphasizes openness, chance, and change in order to articulate a form of freedom that is tied to indeterminacy rather than sovereignty. The novel points to the limitations of narratives of choice, suggesting instead that women’s experiences around reproduction await further description. Motherhood is thus engaged in the kind of project called for by the feminist philosopher Luce Irigaray: to define motherhood from the perspective of women. As both Irigaray and Heti make clear, this project must be shared by all women, whether or not they can or will have children. Heti’s novel demonstrates that, over fifty years after feminism’s second wave, motherhood continues to be circumscribed by patriarchy, and it points toward a feminist motherhood","PeriodicalId":8384,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly: A Journal of American Literature, Culture, and Theory","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135641145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novel develops a sustained conversation with Faulkner’s Light in August, from which Williams draws a constellation of tropes linked to Stoner’s agency: his major life decisions are driven by misreadings of figure. The essay traces major formal features of the novel’s representation of agency: the rehearsal of images from Light in August and Shakespeare’s sonnet 73; repetition of key figures, including the mask and its related trope of prosopopoeia; the spatialization of time through the linear images of the circle and line; and the engagement of multiple elements of the uncanny, to include the interrogation of language itself. Derrida’s critique of the structure of the decision illuminates both the problem of Stoner’s agency and the novel’s dramatization of the connection between the decision, the secret, and the spectral.","PeriodicalId":8384,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Quarterly: A Journal of American Literature, Culture, and Theory","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135641325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
