Loren Kruger deposited Brechtian Theatre and the Glocal South The Case from South Africa in the group
TC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 11 months, 2 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.

Mark Bracher deposited Compassion-Cultivating Pedagogy: Advancing Social Justice by Improving Social Cognition through Literary Study in the group
TC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 3 years, 1 month 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
TC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 4 years, 9 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.

TC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 5 years, 1 month 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.

Charlie Gleek deposited “In This Way the Moons and the Seasons Passed”: Distantly Reading the Literary Criticism of Things Fall Apart. in the group
TC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 6 years, 5 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]

S. Harlin/Hayley Steele deposited The Reality Code: Interpreting Aggregate Larp Rules as Code that Runs on Humans in the group
TC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 6 years, 7 months ago
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
TC Marxism, Literature, and Society on MLA Commons 7 years, 6 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]
