Reading as if for Death
Reading as if for Death” asks how people live in the face of imminent death by analyzing Nevil Shute’s 1957 novel On the Beach. The few critics who have commented on this novel have focused on its message about the dangers of nuclear weapons. This article argues that this middlebrow Australian bestseller, which has never gone out of print, is also an important contribution to the literature of death and dying. In its focus on characters who may w…
Undead Texts and the Disciplines That Love to Hate Them
Undead Texts are books once assigned on every reading list, cited in countless books and articles, endlessly discussed and debated. Although the authors of these works wore their learning lightly, the Undead Texts were intellectually ambitious and formidably erudite, drawing on a range of references that defied boundaries among disciplines, genres, epochs, and languages. Those qualities made them vulnerable to specialist rebuttals; almost every c…
Antidemocracy in America
On Election Day in 2016, it seemed unthinkable to many Americans that Donald Trump could become president of the United States. But the victories of the Obama administration hid from view fundamental problems deeply rooted in American social institutions and history. The election's consequences drastically changed how Americans experience their country, especially for those threatened by the public outburst of bigotry and repression. Amid the del…
Drama of Celebrity
Building a Better Description
Universally practiced across the disciplines, description is also consistently devalued or overlooked. In this introduction to the special issue "Description Across Disciplines," Sharon Marcus, Heather Love, and Stephen Best propose that description is a critical practice more complex (and less contradictory) than its detractors have taken it to be. They argue that turning critical attention toward description's nuances gives us access to the way…
Judith R. Walkowitz
Historian Judith R. Walkowitz, interviewed by Sharon Marcus, talks about how she came to study Victorian prostitution and the evolution of London's Soho neighborhood, her efforts to connect political engagement and scholarship, how the discipline of history has and hasn't changed over the past forty years, the alterity of the past, and her current project on the history of feminism and urban space in 1970s and 1980s London
Celebrity, Past and Present
Have Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, GIFs and MP3s, search engines, selfies, and reality TV, with their capacities for filtering and ranking levels of fame, distributing images, and exposing private life in public, qualitatively changed what celebrity is and how fans interact with celebrities and with one another? Or do these media simply enable celebrity and fandom to move at a much faster pace and on a more global scale? Can we develop …
The State's Oversight
In thinking about the relationship between the sexed body and the state, it is worth recalling that both have a history. This essay, divided into two sections, uses the example of nineteenth-century England, which has had an exemplary status in scholarship on both the state and sexuality, to highlight the variability of law and government with respect to the body. The first section shows how a particular state during a key historical period produ…
At Home with the Other Victorians
Homosexuality and domesticity are both considered eminently Victorian, yet both are also considered to have been mutually exclusive during the nineteenth century. Scholars have conceptualized domesticity as an ideology that made the heterosexual family normative and homosexuality as a form of sexual dissidence opposed in every way to the social forms enshrined by domestic ideology. This essay explores what comes into view if we theorize domestici…
Surface Reading
In the text-based disciplines, psychoanalysis and Marxism have had a major influence on how we read, and this has been expressed most consistently in the practice of symptomatic reading, a mode of interpretation that assumes that a text's truest meaning lies in what it does not say, describes textual surfaces as superfluous, and seeks to unmask hidden meanings. For symptomatic readers, texts possess meanings that are veiled, latent, all but absen…
Entre femmes
La classe moyenne britannique considérait l'amitié entre femmes comme un élément crucial de la féminité traditionnelle, et cependant l'amitié est bizarrement absente des études récentes consacrées à l'idéal de la «femme au foyer» et à l'histoire de la famille. Cette lacune est d'autant plus frappante au vu de l'attention portée aux amitiés féminines dans les manuels de savoir-vivre et dans les «récits de vie», un terme qui comprend les journaux i…
