1. Basements, Bars, and Burials: Exploring Exceptionalist Fantasy and Violence in Toni Morrison's Home.

Author

Brown, Lauren M.

Subjects
FANTASY (Psychology), VIOLENCE, FICTION
Abstract

In an interview, Toni Morrison explains her choice to set the novel Home (2012) in 1950s America; often thought of as a "golden age," Morrison asserts, "I think we forgot what was really going on in the [19]50s," a comment which evokes the dual notions of state—that is, national and psychological—at work in national and cultural memory. In this vein, using Donald E. Pease's theoretical discussion of state fantasy from The New American Exceptionalism (2009) as a point of departure, this article situates close readings of violence in Home within philosophical discussions of "bare life" and "ungrievability" as advanced by Giorgio Agamben and Judith Butler, respectively, and unites these with historical research on eugenic sterilization practices in the US to explore various destructions of life perpetrated within the legitimating context of American exceptionalism domestically and internationally. Finally, through analysis of various sites that exist at a remove from the dominant exceptionalist landscape such as basements, the jazz bar, burial plots, and the community of Lotus, the essay explores alternative figurations to nation and community that Home presents.

8. The writing and research of the novel 'The Shaded Side'

Abstract

The purpose of this project has been to research and write the novel The Shaded Side and a critical commentary. The novel is based on the fictitious events that take place in an Australian tuberculosis sanatorium in the 1940s. The story locates and reflects the consequences of relationships, experiences, morals and attitudes of this early period against the present day story of an adult adoptee searching for the identity of her birth mother. Research into the history of TB treatment in Australia and into broader representations of illness and disease has been required for the project. General themes include: sanatorium treatment, wartime experiences of women of Footscray, the influences of Catholicism as it was generally practised earlier this century, adoption and the mechanics of searching for one's birth relatives. The critical component consists of two essays. Essay 1 discusses comparative representations of illness and disease and the use of metaphoric language. Essay 2 explores the controversial issue of appropriation of research in realist fiction and the requirement for writers to understand and take responsibility for their choices of representation.

Abstract

The article looks at how publishers around the world approach the market release of the book Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer. Partly a vampire story, but mostly a love story, the debut young-adult novel Twilight has been released in a dozen countries. Just as the title's classification has stumped some U.S. booksellers who were not sure where to place it, foreign publishers, too, had to figure out the right way to present the book to the widest possible audience.
