Feminist Fiction And The Uses Of Memory, Gayle Greene
Feminist Fiction And The Uses Of Memory, Gayle Greene
Scripps Faculty Publications and Research
All writers are concerned with memory, since all writing is a remembrance of things past; all writers draw on the past, mine it as a quarry. Memory is especially important to anyone who cares about change, for forgetting dooms us to repetition;and it is of particular importance to feminists.

Sunbelt Texas, Char Miller
Sunbelt Texas, Char Miller
Pomona Faculty Publications and Research
What then is the Sunbelt, and Texas' place within it? The region first had to be recognized as a region, of course, and that has taken some doing. The term was initially employed in the late 1960s and soon came to loom large in the popular imagination. Still, its boundaries were and are inexact. Where is the Sunbelt? Some commentators have adopted an all-inclusive definition which links together those states south of the thirty-seventh parallel; an even more expansive version includes Virginia and the Pacific Northwest. Others rely on more precise, but no less problematic descriptions which, depending on the …
African Americans And The Bible: Outline Of An Interpretive History, Vincent L. Wimbush
African Americans And The Bible: Outline Of An Interpretive History, Vincent L. Wimbush
CGU Faculty Publications and Research
Since every reading of important texts, especially mythic or religious texts, reflects a "reading" or assessment of one's world, and since the Bible has from the founding of the nation served as an icon, a history of African Americans' historical readings of the Bible is likely to reflect their historical self-understandings—as Africans in America.
Influence Of Feminist Scholarship On My Theological Work, Vincent L. Wimbush
Influence Of Feminist Scholarship On My Theological Work, Vincent L. Wimbush
CGU Faculty Publications and Research
It is an honor for me to have been asked to be a part of this roundtable
discussion. I join Francis Fiorenza in recognizing the enormous (that is,
radical, disturbing) contributions that feminist scholarship (in all of its variety)
has made to religious studies. I take special delight in having the
opportunity to reflect upon the influence of feminist scholarship upon biblical
studies and upon my own scholarly development and work.

Widows, Education And Social Change In Twentieth Century Banaras, Nita Kumar
Widows, Education And Social Change In Twentieth Century Banaras, Nita Kumar
CMC Faculty Publications and Research
In the first half of this century, some one dozen women in Banaras played key rotes in channelling the educational movement into new directions, expanding its agenda to include girls, especially poor girls. These women stand out as pioneering in that they founded schools, dynamic in the way they administered and expanded them, and radical in the vision they had for their students. What makes the case of these women particularly interesting is that they were mostly widows. They rejected the familiar stereotypes for widows through their activism, but in subtle ways that retained for them the respect of society …
Book Review: Subversive Pleasures: Bakhtin, Cultural Criticism, And Film, James Morrison
Book Review: Subversive Pleasures: Bakhtin, Cultural Criticism, And Film, James Morrison
CMC Faculty Publications and Research
...Subversive Pleasures implicitly critiques the dominant parochialism of contemporary film study with the bracing electicism of its method. Both for its basic enterprise of installing Bakhtin as a touchstone fro film scholars and for its rangy, intellectually restless methodological alternative to the constricting specializing of current film theory, Stam's book is among the most important recent contributions to film study.
Persona Criticism And The Death Of The Author, Cheryl Walker
Persona Criticism And The Death Of The Author, Cheryl Walker
Scripps Faculty Publications and Research
The difficulty with doing biographical criticism today is that the figure of the author has increasingly come under attack, almost as if the author's portrait, which at one time routinely accompanied critical works, were being atomized, dissolved in an acid bath of scorn and distrust. Though "death of the author" critics have made a number of important points about the rigidity and naiveté of certain earlier forms of biographical criticism, I find that in my own practice I am loath to give up all vestiges of the author. The strategy I have chosen is what I would call persona criticism, …
