Fresh from one crossing?the Atlantic?it promised another one: a journey beyond the then current horizons of literary study. For those who climbed aboard, cultural studies offered a way to make good on the poststructuralist insight that language and other symbolic systems play a constitutive role in the production of meaning; rather suddenly, there were few objects in the world that could not be usefully read as texts. Cultural studies also allowed us to overcome the limitations of a literary study that restricted itself to literary history, author-centered study, and various spe cies of formalism (genre theory, close reading, rhetorical analysis) to de cipher the meaning of the literary work. It demonstrated that discourses of knowledge (like literary studies) could not be separated from effects of power (Foucault). Finally, cultural studies aimed not to abandon literature but rather to inscribe literature into the amorphous but expansive term \"culture.\" Because feminist and British Marxist cultural studies understood culture as a contested terrain (of the high and low, elite and popular, hege monic and emergent, spiritual and material), the term \"culture\" gave our critical interventions an immanent political valence. Not only would the horizons of literary study expand, but what was done within them would somehow be political.1 If being political is to participate actively in the processes of change, then","PeriodicalId":86631,"journal":{"name":"The Osteopathic profession","volume":"24 1","pages":"94-107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89689702","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}

He informed my stunned colleague, a Christian, that part of their job as professors of English was to move these students away from their faith. On the surface such candor seems to confirm what a great many cultural and religious conservatives believe already: that higher education as it exists in the United States purposefully erodes the fundamental values of those it seeks to educate. Indeed, conservative religious people can view themselves as a threatened minority. According to the First Amendment scholar J. M. Balkin, conservative students increasingly articulate this sense of embattlement in terms of broad First Amendment protections and view their inability to speak in class as a form of censorship (169; qtd. in Sherwood 56). It may well be that this phenomenon is overstated. Nevertheless, I want to avoid the tendency to blame our students for their failures to learn and to feel at home in the academic worlds that we have created. Maybe we should be forthright and admit that we are often uncomfortable with our students’ religion and that we often don’t know what to do with it in the classroom. Having taught at both state universities and faith-based institutions, I can say with some confidence that this discomfort runs across the","PeriodicalId":86631,"journal":{"name":"The Osteopathic profession","volume":"34 1","pages":"66-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72503810","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}

Germany's minister for migration issues, Maria Bohmer, quickly endorsed the policy for other schools, saying that \"language is the key to integration.\"2 Germany's largest immigrant group is Turkish (Berlin is famously, in terms of population, the second largest Turkish city after Istanbul)3 and representatives of the Turkish community did not waste any time in con demning the policy as racist, counterproductive, and ultimately futile. The Federation of Turkish Parents in Germany sharply criticized the forbidding of any language, and a Turkish member of the Green Party, Representative Ozcan Mutlu, spoke of \"a break with the constitution\" (Kiipper 5). To many, the school's German-only policy smacked of cultural impe rialism, yet the policy became harder to criticize as new details emerged. Over ninety percent of the Hoover School's pupils have a migrant back ground, and classrooms often serve native speakers of up to ten different languages.

Before I turn directly to the implications of my title, \"Good to Think With,\" I will frame my argument with a personal anecdote and then with a fairy tale. It will be clear, I believe, that these two narratives are versions of the same story. When I was in college, I was seized with the idea that I needed to be doing something more important and meaningful than studying English literature. It was the sixties, after all. So I looked up the address of an agency in New York City that arranged for American students to emigrate and do work in another country. I was full of idealism, optimism, energy. I arrived for my appointment and sat across the desk from a woman who was organizing such arrangements. My idea was to get closer to the soil, perhaps, and to the people. So I burst out with my ideas about farming, building, and clearing the land. \"Do you have any experience with these things?\" she asked. (At this distance I can't recall whether she asked gently or pointedly?but in any case I began, dimly, to get the point.) \"Have you ever worked on a farm or built a house?\" No, I confessed. Not yet. But I could learn. \"What do you know how to do?\" she asked. \"I study English literature,\" I said, rather haltingly. Poetry and novels and plays. But I could","PeriodicalId":86631,"journal":{"name":"The Osteopathic profession","volume":"21 1","pages":"11-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78664036","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 clash described by Hannah Arendt, between the values of authority and tradition, on the one hand, and the centrifugal forces of the modern, on the other, probably qualifies as an educational crisis—though I think not a corrigible one (Steiner 145). More often the crisis is fathered as much by self-importance as by facts (we have unhappily learned to say) on the ground. In the 1980s and early 1990s, crisis mongering, led by conservatives like Allan Bloom, was everywhere. The canon was dying. The end of Western Civilization, if not of Western civilization, was at hand, apocalypse a day or two away. At the time, I wrote a book that took a less gloomy and, I thought, more historical view (Battleground). Much as I would enjoy attributing the subsequent diminution of crisis mongering to that book, realism suggests that events merely ran their course as things dwindled into normality. Now we have another crisis or the supposition of one, the “tyranny of the monograph,” first named by Lindsay Waters. Notwithstanding some economic realities, I think this crisis, too, is in good part factitious. That does not mean, however, that I suppose all is perfectly well. Rather, I think that forces set in motion long before 1970, the date offered by the MLA Task Force on Evaluating Scholarship for Tenure and Promotion as the moment when the tyranny of the monograph took hold, have produced a moment of self-recognition. At heart, any tyranny has been that of good intentions paving the way to a traffic jam with its attendant anxiety—and","PeriodicalId":86631,"journal":{"name":"The Osteopathic profession","volume":"1 1","pages":"194-201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82146885","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}

During most of the 1980s I ran the Women's Studies Program at Barnard College and taught there. But I also taught on occasion in the graduate school at Columbia, where I had studied French during the high theory days of the 1970s. I had been leafing through the magazine on a Friday night trying to relax, when my eye was caught by a story that began in the following way: \"It was easy to find an apartment in New Haven, even though my classes in feminist criticism were starting in just a few days and most of the other grad students had arrived at Yale the week before\" (Janowitz 30). Hey, I elbowed my husband, who was reading on the other side of the bed. A story in the New Yorker by a woman writer about feminist criticism. I sat bolt upright in amazement. Then feminist criticism disappeared for a while, until well into the third page of the story, when the narrator, a young woman named Cora, after sup plying some family background for the reader (a dead sister, a father living in New Zealand), mentions that she had been accepted into the Women's Studies Program at Yale. I was newly excited. But not, as it turned out, for long. \"I was sitting in class, taking notes as usual,\" the narrator complains about her seminar in feminist criticism, \"when it became apparent that not one word that was being said made the slightest bit of sense\" (32). More than twenty years after the fact, it's hard for me to slow down my initial reaction enough to replicate it here.

From Literary Theory to Critical Method 从文学理论到批评方法

Having taught more than my share of such courses, I view them as essential resources not just for English majors or graduate students but for anyone eager to learn about key intellectual trends of the last few decades. Theory can no longer be dismissed as an arcane subspecialty when references to Baudrillard and Derrida crop up in best-selling fiction, Salon.com, and the pages of the Village Voice. And yet the conventional theory course, I’ve come to realize, has certain builtin limits: it tends to obscure rather than illuminate issues of method that are significant in their own right and especially germane for graduate students seeking to define and refine analytic procedures that will guide the writing of their dissertations. A course in critical method thus offers a valuable complement to the standard theory class, yet its function is not just additive but also transformative. Thinking seriously about critical method cannot help but alter our view of literary studies, putting pressure on the overly ambitious claims sometimes advanced in the name of theory. The “introduction to theory” course offered at many institutions conforms to a familiar generic model, grouping course materials according to criteria of philosophical orientation or political affiliation. At the University of Virginia I teach a survey that starts with intellectual background on New Criticism, F. R. Leavis, and Russian formalism before moving","PeriodicalId":86631,"journal":{"name":"The Osteopathic profession","volume":"53 1","pages":"108-116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90057075","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}
