Gothic Fairy-Tale Feminism: The Rise Of Eyre/‘Error’, Aileen M. Farrar
Gothic Fairy-Tale Feminism: The Rise Of Eyre/‘Error’, Aileen M. Farrar
Humanities and Politics Faculty Articles
The ways Gothic fairy tales and fairy-tale feminism interact are not always clear. An undercurrent of feminist studies of fairy tales is fueled by the 1970s Lurie-Lieberman debate, which focused on the question of whether fairy tales liberate or repress women. Meanwhile, critics such as Lorna Piatti-Farnell and Lucie Armitt have offered studies of the interplay between Gothic horror and fairy tales. However, these studies have limits, often emphasizing the violence, self-mutilation, and cannibalism of women, like those in Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s versions of “Cinderella” and “Snow White”. This paper argues that “Rapunzel” (1812) is key for understanding the …
Reviewing The Ethics And Philosophy Behind Social Media's Crowdsourced Panopticon, Amanda Furiasse
Reviewing The Ethics And Philosophy Behind Social Media's Crowdsourced Panopticon, Amanda Furiasse
Humanities and Politics Faculty Articles
Philosopher Jeremy Weissman theorizes a new approach to social media surveillance by utilizing a familiar theoretical model: the Panopticon. In effect, Weissman argues that social media has transformed ordinary people into prison guards within the Panopticon's public watchtower and endowed ordinary individuals with the power to track, survey, and discipline elite officials, once shielded from public scrutiny. This new power, however, comes with a catch. Social media subsumes individuals within an anonymous, de-individualized public, which erases individual difference while simultaneously and paradoxically promising to amplify that very difference. This review critically examines this paradoxical tension and the ethical concerns and …
Housebreakers And Peeping Toms: Voyeurism In John Cheever’S Early Suburban Stories, Yair Solan
Housebreakers And Peeping Toms: Voyeurism In John Cheever’S Early Suburban Stories, Yair Solan
Humanities and Politics Faculty Articles
Les années 1950 marquent un moment transitoire significatif dans la carrière de John Cheever puisqu’il commence dès lors à s’intéresser à la représentation de la banlieue – une transformation que le magazine The New Yorker, qui publiait la majeure partie de ses textes, avait également opérée à la même période. Ce changement est évident dans des nouvelles comme “The Housebreaker of Shady Hill” et “The Cure”, deux textes de « jeunesse » dans ce nouveau champ d’investigation où l’on sent le penchant de l’auteur pour le voyeurisme et la flânerie – tendances qui révèlent une vision conflictuelle de la …
[Book Review] Modernism, Media, And The Virtual, Yair Solan
[Book Review] Modernism, Media, And The Virtual, Yair Solan
Humanities and Politics Faculty Articles
Katherine Biers's Virtual Modernism: Writing and Technology in the Progressive Era outlines the virtual turn in early American modernism, arguing that modernist writers fashioned a “poetics of the virtual” in response to mass culture and its developing communications technologies before the First World War. The book examines five authors (Stephen Crane, Henry James, James Weldon Johnson, Djuna Barnes, Gertrude Stein), placing their work in conversation with various forms of mass media as well as the vitalist and pragmatist philosophy of Henri Bergson and William James that theorized the nature of virtual experience. Biers demonstrates how these writers both drew upon …

Un Estudio Queer De Tiempos Históricos: David Y Jonatán, Joanne Pol
Humanities and Politics Faculty Articles
Spanish Abstract
René Marqués es indudablemente uno de los escritores más prolíficos de Puerto Rico. Sus textos, ya sean poesía, teatro, cuentos cortos, novelas o ensayos, generalmente han demostrado una relación intrínseca entre el estado político y cultural de la isla caribeña. En la mayoría de los casos, la crítica marquesiana ha enfatizado y enfocado el innegable enlace entre su producción literaria y su relación con lo político. Este ensayo hace un análisis de David y Jonatán tomando como punto de partida la relación de los personajes bíblicos David y Jonatán y el análisis de la performatividad de la masculinidad. …
