The reading for the first meeting\, Susan Buck-Morss’ “Democracy: An Unfinished Project”\, has been distributed via the graduate student listserv. New and returning members are welcome to join the group for what is sure to be an engaging semester of thinking and discussion. Contact Colleen Kropp for more information.\n“Democracy: An Unfinished Project” abstract: \nThis essay criticizes Ahmet Davutoğlu’s proposal that Islamic civilization complete the “unfinished project of modernity” (Jürgen Habermas)\, by challenging the concept of civilization itself. As scholars in multiple disciplines have demonstrated\, civilizations are hybrid constructions that cannot be contained within a uniform conceptual frame\, such as Islamic “authenticity.” The past is shared\, and the present is as well. The Arab Spring demonstrates that modernity confronts political actors with similar problems\, whatever their background. The essay addresses successive paradoxes within the unfinished project of democracy: the contradiction between free markets (capitalist inequality) and free societies (political equality)\, the hierarchical relationship between the people and their leaders (Jacques Ranciére’s Ignorant Schoolmaster is discussed)\, and the lack of democracy between nations within the present world order.

Mazie’s story oscillates between moments of isolation\, characterized by profound introspection about that which she is “a-knowen” and that which she cannot understand\, and interactions with the adult world that are almost exclusively described in terms of the grotesque. Bodies\, both her own and those in the world around her\, become sites of violence and pain. Bodies are frustrated\, suffering containers that hold the unknowable and inexpressible. Olsen writes that “Sorrow is tongueless. Apprehension tore it out long ago” (30). This paper will reflect on the inability of language to express and explain suffering in Yonnondio and explore Olsen’s tentative and slippery representations of the ineffable. My paper will further consider the absence of adequate modes of self-expression\, such as art and literature\, in the world of the Holbrooks and how this absence forecloses the possibility of communion between the family members and induces instead painful isolation. My paper will examine chiefly the mind-body dichotomy through which Mazie sees the world\, as well as the particularly oppressive nature of the feminine body as represented in Mazie’s mother\, the ever-pregnant\, unhappy\, and crazed Anna Holbrook. It is my contention that the style of Olsen’s novel explodes narrative form in order to show the limiting and limited nature of closed systems of meaning as such. Her political concerns\, as well as her feminist ethics\, shape Olsen’s Yonnondio and create a haunting\, untouchable anti-narrative that only begins to tell the story of a family like the Holbrooks in a coal mining town like Omaha. \nThe purpose of these sessions is to provide Temple English graduate students an informal opportunity to present their works in progress\, using feedback from fellow students and faculty to develop their essays and continuing research. The GEA anticipates having several WIP events throughout the semester. If you are interested in presenting a paper\, please contact Megan Holmberg.

You can purchase the new translation on Amazon (it is only 87 pages as well). For those who do not wish to buy the book\, the introduction and two chapters\, “Meaning and Representation” and “The Voice That Keeps Silent\,” were attached as a .pdf to the email announcement sent on 10/25. For another copy of the document\, Contact Dan Nutters. \nThere has been a desire\, by some\, to turn to Of Grammatology and/or Derrida’s work on ethics in subsequent meetings\, so this text should help to ground and anticipates what lies in the future. Love him or not\, Derrida still remains a central figure in literary studies and our next meetings should help us get acquainted with his thought in a less formal environment. New faces are especially encouraged to join the group\, and please do not hesitate to contact Dan if you would like further chapters scanned and have any questions.

We will be focusing on a lecture that introduces his later thought and explains the importance of his philosophical project to the future of “western civilization.” For our convienance\, we will also read the JHU Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism‘s entry on Phenomenology. \n\n\nOur post-Husserl agenda is to turn to Derrida. JD’s first book was on Husserl and in subsequent meetings will discuss the importance of Husserlian thought to the early Derrida and then\, afterwards\, read some of Derrida’s later work. For those who feel they want to take their knowledge of Derridan deconstruction beyond the routinized formula\, Husserl will provide us with some sort of “ground” before we begin to undo it. \n\nIf you are interested in the Student-Faculty Reading Group but find this scheduled time is inconvenient\, please contact Daniel Nutters. \n\n\n  URL:https://sites.temple.edu/gradenglish/event/student-faculty-theory-reading-group/ LOCATION:Anderson 1006 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20131017T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20131017T190000 DTSTAMP:20260704T213956 CREATED:20131015T144204Z LAST-MODIFIED:20131015T144554Z UID:675-1382029200-1382036400@sites.temple.edu SUMMARY:Temple Creative Writing's Poets & Writers Series: National Book Award Winner Jaimy Gordon DESCRIPTION: URL:https://sites.temple.edu/gradenglish/event/temple-creative-writings-poets-writers-series-national-book-award-winner-jaimy-gordon/ LOCATION:Women’s Studies Lounge\, 8th Fl.

We will be circulating sample seminar papers that proved successful in second year review or other classes\, and we will discuss some of the advice offered in Gregory Semenza’s Graduate Study for the Twenty-First Century: How to Build an Academic Career in the Humanities (2005). \nWe’ve decided to take this approach because different faculty have different requirements and expectations for paper writing\, and we thought it’d be fruitful if graduate students who are out of coursework could discuss such expectations with newer students. Semenza’s chapter can ground our conversation as we consider the utility of his advice and test it against our experiences. New students are especially encouraged to attend\, as are individuals who are out of course work: what do you wish you had known when you first began writing graduate essays? \nThe subsequent meeting will be either a CV workshop or a discussion about conferences and composing abstracts. We will discuss how to run this workshop on Wednesday. Please contact the GEA if you have suggestions or ideas for future workshops.
