Review Of Darko Suvin's Defined By A Hollow: Essays On Utopia, Science Fiction And Political Epistemology, Gerry Canavan
Review Of Darko Suvin's Defined By A Hollow: Essays On Utopia, Science Fiction And Political Epistemology, Gerry Canavan
English Faculty Research and Publications
This review considers Darko Suvin’s recent career anthology Defined by a Hollow with respect to debates about the relevance of Marxism and utopian critique in the context of a global neoliberal hegemony that (twenty years after Fukuyama) still imagines itself as the ‘end of history’. Suvin’s work suggests that the relationship between Marxism and aesthetics in such times is not simply a quirk of the academy, but is in fact a politically necessary conjoining of materialist praxis and quasi-religious inspiration.

Clandestine Schemes: Burney's Cecilia And The Marriage Act, Melissa J. Ganz
Clandestine Schemes: Burney's Cecilia And The Marriage Act, Melissa J. Ganz
English Faculty Research and Publications
This essay reads Frances Burney’s Cecilia, or Memoirs of an Heiress (1782) alongside the debates surrounding the 1753 Clandestine Marriages Act in order to show how the novel responds to and participates in one of the most divisive public controversies of the Enlightenment. In doing so, the essay challenges the view of Burney as a conservative defender of patriarchal culture, while highlighting the balances that she strikes between individual freedom and filial duty. The novel criticizes secret matches not only because they challenge the legitimate authority of parents and guardians, but also because they enable men to undermine women’s consent. …

William-Henry Ireland, T. I. Curties Horsley, And The Anti-Catholic Gothic Novel, Diane Hoeveler
William-Henry Ireland, T. I. Curties Horsley, And The Anti-Catholic Gothic Novel, Diane Hoeveler
English Faculty Research and Publications
The question of the Gothic's use of and attitude toward Roman Catholicism has been increasingly contentious in recent years, with literary historians claiming that its prominence as a thematic concern provides a test case for distinguishing whether or not the Gothic should be understood as an ideology or as an aesthetic mode not primarily invested in ideological issues at all. By examining this critical issue, I argue for an understanding of the Gothic as primarily a form of propagandistic fiction invested in nationalistic Whig and Protestant ideologies. The article also builds on the recent biographical and critical work done on …

Making Commitments To Racial Justice Actionable, Rasha Diab, Thomas Ferrel, Beth Godbee, Neil Simpkins
Making Commitments To Racial Justice Actionable, Rasha Diab, Thomas Ferrel, Beth Godbee, Neil Simpkins
English Faculty Research and Publications
In this article, we articulate a framework for making our commitments to racial justice actionable, a framework that moves from narrating confessional accounts to articulating our commitments and then acting on them through both self-work and work-with-others, a dialectic possibility we identify and explore. We model a method for moving beyond originary confessional narratives and engage in dialogue with "the willingness to be disturbed," (Wheatley, 2002) believing that disturbances are productive places from which we can more clearly articulate and act from our commitments. Drawing on our own experiences, we engage the political, systemic, and enduring nature of racism as …
