  • Profile picture of Charlie Gleek

    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 2 months, 1 week 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]

    Amy Kahrmann Huseby deposited “Half Poets” and “Whole Democrats”: The Politics of Poetic Aggregation in Aurora Leigh in the group Group logo of TC Marxism, Literature, and SocietyTC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 6 months, 1 week ago

    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]

    Charlie Gleek deposited “In This Way the Moons and the Seasons Passed”: Distantly Reading the Literary Criticism of Things Fall Apart. in the group Group logo of TC Marxism, Literature, and SocietyTC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 1 year, 9 months ago

    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]

    Scott Challener deposited ‘Some Reckonings with the Not-Old and with Surprise’: Postmodern Ballads of Urban Crisis in the group Group logo of TC Marxism, Literature, and SocietyTC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 2 years, 10 months ago

    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]

    Caroline Edwards deposited From Eros to Eschaton: Herbert Marcuse’s Liberation of Time in the group Group logo of TC Marxism, Literature, and SocietyTC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 3 years, 1 month ago

    This article explores what Gershom Scholem has called Herbert Marcuse’s “unacknowledged ties to [his] Jewish heritage.” At the core of Marcuse’s vision of transformed, non-repressive social relations, I argue, is a struggle over time, which rests upon a distinctly Jewish approach to the twin questions of remembrance and redemption. One example…[Read more]

    In lieu of an abstract, here is the beginning of the article: In a recent discussion of modernism, Peter Osborne argues that the terms “modern,” “modernity,” and “modernization” need to be understood through their shared philosophical status as temporal constructions.

    After the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent collapse of communism in the former Soviet bloc, the concept of utopia was blighted with the stigma of Stalinist totalitarianism. Khrushchev’s denunciation of Stalin’s despotism at the 20th Congress of the Communist Party in 195…[Read more]
