Abstract This essay marks the centenary of 1922, annus mirabilis of modernism but also the year when my grandparents became child refugees in the Asia Minor Catastrophe. In Mrs. Dalloway and her Diary, Virginia Woolf offers a figuration of modernity, which Toni Morrison critically revises in her master’s thesis and in Sula. I aim to show that Sula displays a fine-grained, pervasive and dispersive intertextual relationship with Mrs. Dalloway: a multi-form critical repetition, centred around the figures of shredding, burning and tunnelling; I then connect these figures to the lives of my grandparents. The figures that Woolf and Morrison develop anticipate and might indeed have influenced poststructuralist theory, particularly Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of the rhizome.
期刊介绍:
Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities was established in September 1993 to provide an international forum for vanguard work in the theoretical humanities. In itself a contentious category, "theoretical humanities" represents the productive nexus of work in the disciplinary fields of literary criticism and theory, philosophy, and cultural studies. The journal is dedicated to the refreshing of intellectual coordinates, and to the challenging and vivifying process of re-thinking. Angelaki: journal of the theoretical humanities encourages a critical engagement with theory in terms of disciplinary development and intellectual and political usefulness, the inquiry into and articulation of culture.
