Visioning the Body Mosaic: Enchanted Transracial Selfhood in Postsecular American Literature by Erick Sierra

“…This paper explores the ways in which this recent American literature re-imagines the human self as porous and energetic and capable of deep inter-ontological communion with other open selves across space.  Drawing upon a rich history of the “energetic self” in the American imagination, this literature uses the open self as gateway to forms of intersubjective attunement and cross-racial identification that ultimately transcend nefarious racial-identitarian categories.…”

Tedium and Terror: Dreading Narration in Colson Whitehead’s Zone One by Mark Pedretti

“…The fundamental quality of that lived experience is boredom, but in a particularly contemporary instantiation, which takes into account the endless bombardment of “events” in 24/7 networked time. Drawing upon and also revising Frank Kermode’s theory of narrative eschatology, I argue that Whitehead’s novel offers a form of boredom “after the end” predicated on dread, understood as a mix of tedium and terror. …”

T.W. - Self-Portraits of the Playwright: Tennessee Williams’s Paintings, Poetics, Prose by John S. BAK

“…For Williams, traces of his lived experiences can be found in nearly every one of his works, textual and graphic alike. Drawing on Barthes’s theory of the (auto)biographeme and Hall’s sociological study of the self-portrait, this article studies that first graphic self-portrait alongside the many textual self-portraits (memoirs, essays, letters and private notebook entries) that Williams produced in or about 1939 in the aim of demonstrating how, in complementing each other, the graphic and the textual self-portraits document his transformation from Tom into Tennessee.…”

Drawing on these analyses, we try to show that the central position occupied by men corresponds to the role they play in mediating between women and Others.…”

What Dewey Knew. The Public as Problem, Practice, and Art by Laura Bieger

“…This essay takes the present “post truth” threat to democratic politics as an occasion to revisit John Dewey’s view of the public as a political actor that is both indispensible for the project of modern democracy and vulnerable to self-effacement. Drawing on a recent development in democratic theory—epistemic democracy—that is in part inspired by Dewey, I trace how Dewey’s relativist understanding of truth animates his views of the public as a political actor and of democracy as a “collective exercise in practical intelligence” (Festenstein). …”
