Whiteness Interrupted

Whiteness Interrupted

Marcus Bell

Duke University Press
2021
sidottu
In Whiteness Interrupted Marcus Bell presents a revealing portrait of white teachers in majority-black schools in which he examines the limitations of understandings of how white racial identity is formed. Through in-depth interviews with dozens of white teachers from a racially segregated, urban school district in Upstate New York, Bell outlines how whiteness is constructed based on localized interactions and takes a different form in predominantly black spaces. He finds that in response to racial stress in a difficult teaching environment, white teachers conceptualized whiteness as a stigmatized category predicated on white victimization. When discussing race outside majority-black spaces, Bell's subjects characterized American society as postracial, in which race seldom affects outcomes. Conversely, in discussing their experiences within predominantly black spaces, they rejected the idea of white privilege, often angrily, and instead focused on what they saw as the racial privilege of blackness. Throughout, Bell underscores the significance of white victimization narratives in black spaces and their repercussions as the United States becomes a majority-minority society.

Subduing Demons In America

Subduing Demons In America

Marcus Bell; John Giorno

Associated with key 1960s avant garde figures such as Ginsberg, Burroughs, Rauschenberg, and Johns, John Giorno was an early pioneer of multimedia poetry through Giorno Poetry Systems, which also distributed a who's who of the American underground from Patti Smith to Sonic Youth. Giorno's use of transgressive material and in-your-face, amplified delivery was also a key influence on punk/new wave pioneers such as Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, and Black Flag. Not just a poet but a sexual, spiritual, and political radical, Giorno helped pioneer the open celebration of queer sexuality in poetry in the 1960s. Subduing Demons in America offers the best of Giorno's revolutionary poetry, from his striking Pop Art--influenced poems of the 1960s to the psychedelic, echo-laden, multitracked cut-ups of the 1970s with their explosive configurations of queer sex, spiritual practice, and the bohemian Good Life. Also here are the pared-down punk/hip-hop performance poems that Giorno performed in the 1980s.

On 20 December 2017 John 'Jack' Bell will celebrate his 100th birthday; a great achievement for any person but very special when that person was seriously wounded in the Second World War and survived over three years in Italian and German Prisoner of War camps.Even at this senior age Jack maintains his parade ground posture, dresses smartly and has a razor sharp mind. He looks much younger than he is - and when he relays that he fought in World War Two the first reaction is usually one of disbelief.Jack's experiences as an airman and Prisoner of War in World War Two make a remarkable story.Jack Bell enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force at age 22. He saw active service in North Africa during one of the great Allied offensives. His aircraft was shot down by the Germans and he was badly wounded. After recovering in hospital and surviving for over three years in three POW camps he was liberated by the Russians. When Jack was demobilised in early 1946 he had just turned 28 - another seven decades of his life still lay ahead of him.This book was written as a tribute to Jack Bell's service to the nation and the community.

Blut Auf Pharsalischen Feldern: Lucans Bellum Ciuile Und Vergils Georgica
English Summary The book scrutinizes Lucan's reception of Vergil. Former contributions to this question were focusing nearly exclusively on the "Aeneid", which Lucan was often said to have abandoned as a manifest anti-Vergil. Kersten, however, examines Lucan's references to the "Georgics", which are all but antiphrastic. The author shows that Lucan's poem on the civil war can be read as a sort of prequel for Vergil's didactic epos: Lucan tells of the events that led to the catastrophe of Emathian fields dunged with blood, a central motive both in the "Georgics" and the "Bellum Ciuile". Rather than stating in an anti-Vergilian manner that Augustan values are of no importance any longer, Lucan seems to support them ex negativo by dealing precisely with that historical moment which has made necessary the cultural renewal that was propagated by the Augustan poet. Cultural standards as already re-affirmed in the highly intertextual "Georgics" are strengthened once more by the narrator who remembers the loss of culture and the hope for a new Golden Age and seems still to wait for the implementation of Vergil's lessons. The numerous intertextual relations between Lucan and the "Georgics" are discussed and set in relation to the major issues of recent scholarship on Lucan such as the significance of the heroes Caesar, Pompey, and Cato or the meaning of the panegyric for Nero. German Description Die Arbeit untersucht Lucans Georgica-Rezeption und geht von der thematischen Voraussetzung aus, dass das spatere Gedicht gewissermassen als ein prequel fur das fruhere zu verstehen ist. Zur Analyse dient hierbei das Konzept metapoetischer Realismus. Damit ist es moglich, zwei potentiell verschiedene intertextuelle Phanomene zu vergleichen: die effektive Prasenz literarischer Kultur auf der Ebene der Eposhandlung einerseits und solche Formen von Intertextualitat andererseits, die streng genommen nur fur die Leser des Gedichtes wirksam sind. Letzteren zeigt Lucan, wie sich der Burgerkrieg in dem historischen Moment ereignet, als bisherige kulturelle Standards nicht mehr und die der augusteischen Literatur noch nicht wirksam waren. Der fur die Georgica wie fur die gesamte Dichtung Vergils charakteristische Anspruch, die Folgen des Krieges zu uberwinden und in eine Phase hoherer Kultur einzutreten, wird von Lucan nicht anti-vergilisch ad absurdum gefuhrt, sondern mit Blick auf die keineswegs ausgesohnte neronische Gegenwart eingefordert. Damit wird zugleich nach dem Wert literarischer Kultur gefragt. Das Handeln der Helden Lucans erscheint vor dem Hintergrund der Georgica gerade als fundamentale Ursache fur den Skandal des Krieges; eine Heroisierung von Caesar, Pompeius oder Cato ist unmoglich. Die Diskussion um eine entweder positive oder negative Aussage des Gedichts und insbesondere des programmatischen Nerolobs ist angesichts dieser Befunde verfehlt. Die diesem Buch zugrunde liegende Doktorarbeit wurde 2018 mit dem Joachim-Jungius-Preis fur herausragende Dissertationen ausgezeichnet.
