Exploring Community Co-Creation in Tree Planting and Heat-Related Health Interventions: A Qualitative Study
Climate-amplified extreme heat events are particularly dangerous for city dwellers. Nature-based solutions such as urban greening may serve as an effective preventative strategy against extreme heat. Driven by historical injustices such as redlining, disadvantaged communities often face limited green space and a heightened risk of vulnerability to extreme heat in urban environments. This paper investigates community engagement strategies for heat…

These Feelings of Futurelessness: Peter Gizzi’s Now It’s Dark
This essay examines Peter Gizzi’s book Now It’s Dark under various optics. To begin, the focus is on the book’s intricate construction as an extended, dialogic work, rather than simply a collection of poems. Attention is paid to the complex structural links and divergences between the book’s various sections, and how Gizzi deploys them to displace and complicate traditional elements of the lyric, not least lyric temporality. The analysis of tempo…
Duncan’s Stein Writings: Derivation and Logopoeia
This article begins by considering Duncan’s Stein writings as a criticism of highly invested modernist suppositions regarding originality and mastery, these latter exemplified by Wyndham Lewis’s view of Hemingway as castrated and belittled by his inability not to imitate Gertrude Stein. It continues to examine Duncan’s mobilisation of syllepsis in his Stein writings, and to relate this figure to the Poundian conception of logopoeia, first elabora…
Robert Duncan and the 1960s
This essay examines the contradictions of Robert Duncan’s 1960s political poetry by way of his reading of the legacy of modernism, notably as expounded in The H.D. Book. Drawing on the work of Daniel Tiffany, the essay first argues that here Duncan constructs a kitsch Ezra Pound to restore the true progressive political potential of Pound’s poetry. Using a largely Freudian methodology, Duncan finds in “kitsch” Pound a vector that opposes his auth…
The Rag Race: How Jews Sewed Their Way to Success in America and the British Empire by Adam D. Mendelsohn
In 1854, Samuel Rosenwald came to the United States. For about two years, he earned his living peddling. As an independent entrepreneur selling new or secondhand clothing, he likely scraped by through a combination of wit, the ability to take advantage of a far-flung network of Jewish manufacturers and distributors, lessons hard-learned by setbacks and privations on the road, and not a little luck. Along the way, he would have learned to navigate…
I did not walk here all the way from prose: Ben Lerner's virtual poetics
This paper argues that Ben Lerner's discussions of poetry and poetics in his two acclaimed novels, Leaving the Atocha Station and 10.04, have not received the serious attention they deserve. Here, I examine the novels as clear extensions of Lerner's poetic project as seen in his three volumes of ‘verse', and link them to the theoretical discussions of poetics one finds in the prose of poets like Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Dickinson, or Pound. This in t…
All Together Different: Yiddish Socialists, Garment Workers, and the Labor Roots of Multiculturalism
In the early 1930s, the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) organized large numbers of Black and Hispanic workers through a broadly conceived program of education, culture, and community involvement. The ILGWU admitted these new members, the overwhelming majority of whom were women, into racially integrated local unions and created structures to celebrate ethnic differences. This book revolves around this phenomenon of interracia…

“And then went down to the ship” ( i /3) begins The Cantos , opening not only in medias res , but also, as it were, on the road, in the midst of a journey which immediately proceeds to chart a series of liminal, shifting spaces. For Canto i moves not only between land and sea, but also between Greek, Latin, and English – as Pound translates Andreas Divus translating Homer – and finally between life and death: most of the Canto is devoted to the “…

Labor, Past and Present: Twentieth Annual North American Labor History Conference

Conference participants enjoyed discussions concerning the ways in which race, ethnicity, gender, skill, nationalism, communism, masculinity, education, polit…

Factors Affecting Social Change: A Social‐Psychological Interpretation
The concern of the psychologist with person‐blame attribution has meant a failure to analyze types of change and social causes of societal changes. Social change can be radically structural (revolutionary), incrementally structural, or cultural. Sources of change can be found in internal contradictions within a society as in Marxian analysis, in uneven rates of growth of various parts of the system, in contact and clash with other systems, and in…

Consistent reactive participation of group members and reduction of intergroup conflict
ogy. Violent solutions of such conflicts in the past are debatable as long-run solutions of competing interests, but, with the development of atomic and nuclear weapons, the common interest in survival has given reality to the pacifist's old contention about the ultimate absurdity of force as the solution of human problems. The brotherhood of man, writes C. Wright Mills, now less a goal than an obvious condition of biological survival. Before the…
Three Criteria: Knowledge, Conviction, and Significance
This article evaluates public opinion polls according to three criteria: (1) Do people know enough about the questions asked to give reliable and meaningful answers? (2) Do they have convictions upon the subject sufficient to give stability to their answers? (3) Are the questions asked of any real significance for social science?

An analysis of attitudes toward fascism and communism
College students at Princeton reject both the labels of fascism and communism, the latter carrying the greater stigma. Knowledge of fascism or communism bears little relation to intensity of opposition. The majority of students feel that the two systems are good for the countries in which they are found. Opposition to the labels of communism and fascism does not extend in equal measures to their doctrines. Disapproval of fascism undergoes a chang…

The Polls and the 1944 Election
IN THE Polling world, as in politics, a Presidential election is the great showdown. It is not simply that public interest in polling is highest at that time. Presidential elections, with all of their maze of factors, provide unparalleled opportunities for developing and testing techniques. After the Presidential elections of 1936 and of 1940, Daniel Katz published his interpretation of how well the polls had done. This article is his critique fo…
