The 1940s: A Decade of Modern British Fiction
How did social, cultural and political events concerning Britain during the 1940s reshape modern British fiction? During the Second World War and in its aftermath, British literature experienced and recorded drastic and decisive changes to old certainties. Moving from potential invasion and defeat to victory, the creation of the welfare state and a new Cold war threat, the pace of historical change seemed too rapid and monumental for writers to m…
Comedy, Class, and Nation
This chapter studies the comic novel. If British and Irish culture in the post-war decades underwent some radical social and political upheavals, the novel registered and critiqued these transformations in part through the development of a particular comic mode. Comedy in British and Irish novels published from 1940 to 1973 often turned around the difficult intersection of class and nation. Alongside this overarching attention to class and nation…
Danceroom Spectroscopy: At the Frontiers of Physics, Performance, Interactive Art and Technology
danceroom Spectroscopy is an interactive audiovisual art installation and performance system driven by rigorous algorithms commonly used to simulate and analyze nanoscale atomic dynamics. danceroom Spectroscopy interprets humans as "energy landscapes," resulting in an interactive system in which human energy fields are embedded within a simulation of thousands of atoms. Users are able to sculpt the atomic dynamics using their movements and experi…
Acts of reconsideration: J.G. Ballard (1930–2009) annotating and revising editions of The Atrocity Exhibition
This essay analyses J.G. Ballard's The Atrocity Exhibition (1970) primarily in terms of its author's numerous additions and annotations incorporated in new revised editions (1990; 1993), while considering the influence of radical, avant-garde 1960s' experimentation during its initial composition. Such changes transform the book's aesthetic meaning; they evidence Ballard's sense that over time his inchoate and fragmentary form required further exp…
Alexithymia and a broken plastic umbrella: Contemporary culture and Martin Amis'sMoney
This article seeks to reread Martin Amis's creation John Self as a figure afflicted by alexithymia. The essay draws on psychological accounts to explain this condition and argue that Self's character displays its symptoms. It further argues that this is not merely an individual matter but a historical and political one
