The Imaginary Body: The Grotesque
The body presents the paradox of contained and container at once. Thus our attention is continually focused upon the boundaries or limits of the body; known from an exterior, the limits of the body as object; known from the interior, limits its extension into space.

Ruins Lesson: Meaning and Material in Western Culture
In 'The Ruins Lesson,' the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning poet-critic Susan Stewart explores the West's fascination with ruins in literature, visual art, and architecture, covering a vast chronological and geographical range from the ancient Egyptians to T. S. Eliot. In the multiplication of images of ruins, artists, and writers she surveys, Stewart shows how these thinkers struggled to recover lessons out of the fragility or our cult…
“It’s Just a Never-Ending Battle”: The Role of Modern Hygiene Ideals and the Dynamics of Everyday Life in Constructing Indoor Ecologies
Recent research suggests that the greatest threat to children's health from home environments across much of the industrialized world may no longer be pathogenic microbes, but impoverished microbial communities and the chemicals used in everyday products, including those for cleaning. This paper proposes that concepts of hygiene should be updated, given this reorientation of harm. However, little research has been conducted, which a) integrates k…

Civil society development in Russia and Ukraine: Diverging paths
The authors compare civil society development in Russia and Ukraine in recent years in terms of civil society’s structure and relationships with the state and the broader society. They find major differences in 1) the treatment of civil society by state actors and 2) the level of trust placed in civil society by the population. They use these and other findings to assess civil society’s ability to play economic, political and social roles as defi…

Democracy promotion before and after the ‘colour revolutions
Notes on Distressed Genres
This essay is designed to contribute to an understanding of the role of Enlightenment aesthetics in the founding conceptions of the study of folklore forms. It surveys the ways in which a number of oralforms-epic, fable, proverb, fairy tale, and ballad-have been antiqued and reproduced by literary culture from the late 17th century forward. In creating such distressed genres, the literary culture attempted to invent a domain of authenticity and o…
The interplay of domestic contexts and external democracy promotion: Lessons from Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus
A recurring theme in the democracy promotion literature over the past ten years has been the need for external actors engaged in democracy promotion to take the local context of the relevant country into account when designing and implementing their efforts. This conclusion starts from the premise that the 'colour revolutions' in Serbia, Georgia and Ukraine can serve as a test case for the ability of external actors to deal with changing local co…

Autonomy as a mechanism for conflict regulation? The case of Crimea
The literature on power‐sharing and autonomy has often neglected the fact that when territorial autonomy is granted to an ethnic or linguistic group, problems can arise concerning the position of minorities (titular or otherwise) within the territory in question. This article attempts to illustrate the importance of taking this factor into account by analyzing the case of Crimea, where the success of a territorial autonomy arrangement based on th…

Because the horror story is adaptable to narrative techniques of face to face communication, the printed text, the cinema, and the simulated events of the amusement park, we might suspect that this form operates by a manipulation of narrativity itself, that its comm…

Thoughts on the Role of the Humanities in Contemporary Life
This response to New Literary History's call for thoughts on the current crisis in the humanities roots humanistic study in the circumstances and consequences of judgment. The humanities are discussed in relation to the concerns of religion and science-- with particular attention to the pressing need for humanist responses to the rise of fundamentalism among the former and the rise of technologies intervening in the life process among the latter
The Ballad in Wuthering Heights
This study of Wuthering Heights is part of a larger project examining the role of archaisms in the novel. Brontë's novel draws on traditional Irish and English ballad themes and forms, as well as British fairy lore, in its presentation of plot, character, and emotion
The Acoustical Prehistory of Poetry
If we want to understand the emergence of poetry in our culture, we cannot look to an alleged "essence" of poetry for an explanation. Instead, we need a genealogical method, one that can trace the source or sources of poetic practice. Oral traditions, including the modalities of transmission that characterize pre-literate narratives, help us grasp the sensibilities and techniques that lead to the creation of poetic texts. In oral traditions acros…

Miniature books, eighteenth-century novels, Tom Thumb weddings, tall tales, and objects of tourism and nostalgia: this diverse group of cultural forms is the subject of On Longing, a fascinating analysis of the ways in which everyday objects are narrated to animate or realize certain versions of the world. Originally published in 1984 (Johns Hopkins University Press), and now available in paperback for the first time, this highly original book dr…

Genres of Work: The Folktale and Silas Marner
Genres of Work: The Folktale and Silas Marner" is one of a series of studies of archaism in the novel. Although, as indicated through its very name, the novel is often a genre of contemporaneity and simultaneous perspectives, it can also be, in the hands of certain authors, a vehicle for presenting the continuity or revival of traditions. Silas Marner is such a novel--an exploration of archaic and folkloric beliefs and forms, particularly those c…

The Effect of Access and Satisfaction on Regular Mammogram and Papanicolaou Test Screening in a Multiethnic Population
BACKGROUND: Access and satisfaction are determinants of preventive service use, but few studies have evaluated their role in breast and cervical cancer screening in multiethnic populations. OBJECTIVES: We sought to investigate the relationship between race/ethnicity, access, satisfaction, and regular mammogram and Papanicolaou test receipt in 5 racial/ethnic groups. RESEARCH DESIGN: We conducted a telephone survey in 4 languages. SUBJECTS: Our su…
