    Loren Kruger deposited Brechtian Theatre and the Glocal South The Case from South Africa in the group Group logo of TC Marxism, Literature, and SocietyTC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    The glocal scale offers a more productive frame for analyzing the transculturation of theatre, particular Brechtian theory and practice, than either the singularly local or the generalized global. Glocalization brings into focus networks of imaginative representation that may be missed in overbroad applications of global frameworks, particularly…[Read more]

    Mark Bracher deposited Compassion-Cultivating Pedagogy: Advancing Social Justice by Improving Social Cognition through Literary Study in the group Group logo of TC Marxism, Literature, and SocietyTC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 2 years, 5 months ago

    Previous studies suggest that narrative fiction promotes social justice by increasing empathy, but critics have argued that the partiality of empathy severely limits its effectiveness as an engine of social justice, and that what needs to be developed is universal compassion rather than empathy. We created Compassion-Cultivating Pedagogy (CCP) to…[Read more]

    Charlie Gleek deposited A Syllabus, In Circuits in the group Group logo of TC Marxism, Literature, and SocietyTC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 4 years, 2 months ago

    Examining the production, transmission, and consumption of the syllabus opens up ways of seeing the traces of dominant practices, meanings, and values in contemporary academic culture. This hegemony is in place as a function of the deliberate efforts of intellectuals hailing from the dominant cultural group. What has become pedagogical…[Read more]

    Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Aurora Leigh seeks to redress the divisive work of women’s democratic political representation by way of poetic form to ask whether women must always be regarded as partial citizens. Women are not counted as integral units—ones—politically or culturally. Barrett Browning connects women’s ability to produce writing a…[Read more]

    I employ distant reading techniques and data visualization tools to assess the literary criticism of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. My findings suggest that the scholarly literary criticism of Things Fall Apart did not occur independently with the publication of Achebe’s work in 1958, but was a part of a larger trend in literary criticism a…[Read more]

    Aggregate larp rules are a type of code that runs on humans. Code can be thought of as a linguistic form that is both declarative and imperative; it is both truth and command (Buswell 2009). In aggregate larp, elements of the game’s
    diegesis are rendered codic, or playable, allowing players a degree of autonomy from game staff. Through the m…[Read more]

    This paper offers a brief consideration of the literary ballad as a register of what by the mid-’60s economists had diagnosed as “urban crisis” and in 1970 John Ashbery called “urban chaos.” I’m particularly interested in how poets used the ballad to see and see into the failures of the “spatio-temporal fix” of urban renewal. My general idea is…[Read more]
