Split Infinities: The Comedy Of Performative Identity In Maxine Hong Kingston's *Tripmaster Monkey*, Jonna Mackin

Dr. Jonna C Mackin

The article discusses a quarrel between Frank Chin and Maxine Hong Kingston regarding Chinese American Identity and goes on to analyze Kingston's novel *Tripmaster Monkey, His Fake Book* as a case where an analysis of the comedy leads to questions about her professed multiculturalism. Kingston's jokes reveal hidden aggression in the text and a tendency to obscure or erase African American cultural icons.

Resistance To The Resistance To Poetry On The Resistance To Poetry, Michael Theune Dec 2004

Resistance To The Resistance To Poetry On The Resistance To Poetry, Michael Theune

Michael Theune

James Longenbach’s previous book of criticism, Modern Poetry after Modernism (Oxford: Oxford UP, 1997), opens by reworking Randall Jarrell’s claim in the essay "The End of the Line" that "Romantic poetry holds in solution contradictory tendencies which, isolated and exaggerated in modernism, look startlingly opposed to each other and to the earlier stages of romanticism." Replacing the references to romanticism with modernism, and the reference to modernism with postmodernism, Longenbach begins his argument against the continued use of the "breakthrough narrative," a faulty critical construct based on an overly simple idea of a too-easy distinction between modernism and postmodernism, suggesting …

Do You Believe In Magic? Literary Thinking After The New Left, Sean Mccann, Michael Szalay Dec 2004

Do You Believe In Magic? Literary Thinking After The New Left, Sean Mccann, Michael Szalay

Sean McCann

Toward the end of the 1960s, the New Left and the counterculture developed a libertarian theory of politics that emphasized symbolic action and self-realization. A concomitant suspicion of formal political institutions and a turn to cultural politics have since become common to intellectual discourse within the humanities. This essay argues against these attitudes, while tracing them from the protest movements of the late sixties to contemporary fiction and literary theory. The authors conclude by detailing the strong affinities between this vision of radicalism and the interests of professional labor within the present-day university.
