On Edward Said, Scholar And Public Intellectual, F. Elizabeth Dahab
On Edward Said, Scholar And Public Intellectual, F. Elizabeth Dahab
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her paper, "On Edward Said, Scholar and Public Intellectual," F. Elizabeth Dahab pays tribute to Edward Said, 1935-2003. Dahab discusses selected aspects of Said's trajectories as a scholar and Palestinian-American activist including aspects of Said's numerous activities and work as a musician, an ardent political polemicist, a music critic, a Columbia University professor of comparative literature, a humanist, President of the Modern Language Association of America, and an exiled Palestinian as evident in the vast corpus of this eminent scholar's publications over the course of almost four decades (twenty-four books and hundreds of articles and interviews). Said's work elicited …
Dorian Gray, Tom Ripley, And The Queer Closet, Jonathan Alexander, Deborah Meem
Dorian Gray, Tom Ripley, And The Queer Closet, Jonathan Alexander, Deborah Meem
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their paper, "Dorian Gray, Tom Ripley, and the Queer Closet," Jonathan Alexander and Deborah Meem present and portray an imaginary conversation among an impossible but intriguing group of writers, critics, and fictional characters. These individuals speak in their own (published) voices, which are moderated by the author-facilitators and shaped into an extended rumination on art, the Doppelgänger, queerness, and literary influence. Through their dialogue, the actors reveal a tradition of the queer novel, running in this case from Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray to Patricia Highsmith's five Tom Ripley books, whereby the closet functions simultaneously as refuge …
Postcolonial African Consciousness And The Poetry Of Agostinho Neto, Irene Marques
Postcolonial African Consciousness And The Poetry Of Agostinho Neto, Irene Marques
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her paper, "Postcolonial African Consciousness and the Poetry of Agostinho Neto," Irene Marques introduces the magic words of a great poet with the question: can poetry carry enough sorrow, enough strength, enough fire, enough love, enough wisdom, enough care, and enough horror to penetrate the hearts and the souls of the oppressed and the oppressors so that both will desperately want to escape their sinister labels? For Marques, this question represents an old quandary and one that many of us wish could be answered with a simple yes. Marques analyses Neto's poetry in the context of littérature engagé: if …
Cultures Of Populism And The Political Right In Central Europe, Patricia Chiantera-Stutte, Andrea Petö
Cultures Of Populism And The Political Right In Central Europe, Patricia Chiantera-Stutte, Andrea Petö
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In their paper, "Cultures of Populism and the Political Right in Central Europe," Patricia Chiantera-Stutte and Andrea Petö analyze the common points and differences in which imagined and mythologized histories are serving as a mobilizing force for extreme-right movements in three Central European countries, in Austria, Hungary, and Italy. The authors discuss how populist and right-wing political parties in these countries construct their conceptions of an alternative identity for the European Union. Further, the authors analyze the politico-territorial myths constructed by the three populist right-wing parties, the Freedom Party in Austria, the Northern League in Italy, and the Party of …

From Plato To Derrida And Theories Of Play, Simona Livescu
From Plato To Derrida And Theories Of Play, Simona Livescu
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In her paper, "From Plato to Derrida and Theories of Play," Simona Livescu proposes a reevaluation of the concept of play. By examining various critical interpretations of this term from Greek antiquity to modern structuralists and poststructuralist theories, Livescu analyzes the common denominator in philosophical, cultural, and religious facets of the play. In her discussion, Livescu emphasizes the ultimate importance of the ludic presence in every fundamental human action. Among the conclusions of the paper, Livescu suggests that play exists as an essence of consciousness and that it is, actually, a way of being, not only a way of knowing. …
