Thinking on Location: An Essay in the Vulnerability of the Subject
This essay addresses problems of how and what we know in an attempt to distinguish what's inside from what's outside and to figure out whether acts of knowing can be plotted on either side of any boundary that might claim to separate inside from outside. Moving beyond the familiar dialectics derived from Hegel's theory of history, the essay reflects on the author's experience as a teacher of English literature "abroad" who has tried to disclaim a…
Till Death Did Him Part: Thomas Hardy and his Funerals
This essay considers Hardy’s two funerals—for his ashes at Poets’ Corner, for his heart at Stinsford—in the light of their consequences for life-writing: the absence of a single resting-place, and the narrative demands of synchronicity in telling of two funerals. This division of the body was the consequence of an extraordinary lack of precision in Hardy’s own will, the composition, wording and interpretation of which are examined here in some de…
Collusions and Imbrications: Life Writing and Colonial Spaces
This essay offers an investigation into the characteristics or distinctive features of life writing in colonial and postcolonial spaces. Among the examples of life writing here considered are George Lamming’s In The Castle of My Skin and C. L. R. James’s Beyond a Boundary, and, less often treated in this context, works by Benjamin Franklin and James Joyce; stress is placed on the importance of American literature for early articulations of the pr…
Fredy Neptune: Metonymy and the Incarnate Preposition
Discussion of the underlying ethics and poetics of Murrayâ s novel, including the concepts of â embodimentâ , metonymy, metaphor, realism and elements of linguistic theory

Petroglyphs in and out of perspective
Les petroglyphes prehistoriques decouverts sur l'ensemble des continents (environ 20 millions de signes sur, a peu pres, 100 000 sites repertories) sont etudies dans une optique monographique, et dans le but de degager les explications d'un phenomene global et non local. Les technologies modernes permettent aujourd'hui d'envisager le rassemblement de ces figures dans une banque de donnees. Au prealable, l'auteur expose ici quelques-unes des impli…
Roman Jakobson and the Future of Linguistics
This is the second volume issued by Harvard which groups Roman Jakobson' s essays in some sort of thematic order and, unlike the Selected Writings in eight volumes, presents all of them in English. The first of these volumes, in Literature (1987; reviewed in Canadian Slavonic Papers 30.4: 491-92), brought together the most important of Jakobson' s writings on literature. Its usefulness was two-fold: Jakobson' s writings on literature tend to be k…
