Walden como ponto de chegada da reflexão sobre modernidade em América
Monteiro Lobato participou de forma ativa do processo de modernização pelo qual o Brasil passou nas décadas iniciais do século XX. O escritor vivenciou a modernidade sentindo o abalo nas estruturas referenciais que davam aos indivíduos estabilidade no mundo social. Ele experienciou, assim como seus contemporâneos, as profundas transformações pelas quais a sociedade passava e, a partir disso, buscou por meio da literatura e de suas outras atividad…
Figuras do narrador e da morte em "Mandiocal", de Paulliny Tort
Este artigo propõe uma análise do conto "Mandiocal" escrito pela autora brasiliense Paulliny Tort e publicado no volume de contos intitulado Erva brava em 2021. Nesta investigação, adota-se uma abordagem de leitura próxima ao texto literário (Close Reading), enfocando elementos internos e estruturantes que se mostram relevantes para a compreensão da narrativa. Entre esses elementos, destaca-se a figura do narrador, cuja retórica desafia as fronte…
Autores De Memórias Póstumas De Brás Cubas E Suas Retóricas
Tomando como ponto de partida as supressões e acréscimos de uma edição a outra da obra Memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas (1881), o presente trabalho se propõe a discutir duas de suas instâncias narrativas em diálogo com as teorias apresentadas em A retórica da ficção (1961), de Wayne C. Booth – de um lado, o autor empírico Machado de Assis; e, de outro, o personagem narrador Brás Cubas. A partir da análise da estratégia narrativa de Memórias póstum…
O "vazio cultural" ou o pré-modernismo em Antônio Candido
O presente artigo tem como proposta analisar a forma como Antonio Candido, um dos mais renomados críticos e ensaístas de nossa literatura, historiografou e analisou o período conhecido pelos estudos literários como pré-modernismo e/ou período pós-romântico. Tal estudo tem entre seus objetivos compreender quais foram as principais características atribuídas pelo crítico ao 'movimento', assim como entender de que forma elas se aproximam ou se dista…
Gênesis ficcional de Lobato
O conto "Era no Paraíso..." (1923), de Monteiro Lobato, se constrói como uma paródia do Gênesis bíblico. Influenciado pela teoria darwiniana, o narrador nos mostra o desenvolvimento dos seres, em especial, do ser humano, como um "descender com modificações", que explica o seu comportamento frente às questões da vida e, por conseguinte, da natureza. No conto, a reação da natureza, que somente ocorre como projeção no futuro, está intimamente ligada…
The un/methodology of 'theoretical intuitions
Class Matters, by Mahony and Zmroczek (1997), was an important collection marking working-class women’s contribution to the academy and society. In taking up the question of class, this paper considers the ways in which a partial and particular discourse reflected its author’s material circumstances, including her preferred conceptual interests as well as her un(self)conscious knowledge. In revisiting the way class ‘mattered’, and continues to ma…
Urupês E Marabá
O presente trabalho tem como proposta revisitar o Romantismo brasileiro, em especial a vertente indianista, representada pelos autores Jose de Alencar e Goncalves Dias, para assim entender de que forma a busca e a construcao de uma identidade nacional o moldaram, tal como fizeram tambem as esteticas subsequentes, que igualmente apresentaram como proposta a reescrita de historias antigas. Em seguida, serao discutidos dois textos de Monteiro Lobato…
Ruptura E Inovação
O seguinte artigo apresenta a obra Dom Quixote das criancas , de Monteiro Lobato, como um modelo de inovacao e ruptura tanto no que se refere a ideia de classico universal, quanto a propria ideia de adaptacao. O movimento realizado por Lobato, na adaptacao do classico para literatura infantil, subverte a nocao de que a adaptacao e apenas um conjunto de estrategias discursivas que modifica o texto original de forma a adequa-lo a um determinado pub…
Class Choreographies
This book is a compelling account of the ultra-serviceability of the English public school ethos and its masculinist, class-ridden and exclusionary practices. Using an ‘illustrative, multi-sited gl
Privilege, Agency and Affect in the Academy
My mother’s role in my growing up consisted, in large part, in preparing me for my station in life. She was a redoubtable realist, critical of what she saw as my ‘pretensions’ which seemed to be linked to my love of books. ‘Who do you think you are, Lady Muck?’, she would tell me of an auntie, her sister, who was disliked by their grandfather simply for reading. I would hear in my mother’s tone her anxiety to ‘keep me close’ lest I ‘get above mys…
Privilege, Agency and Affect in the Academy
Imagining the university of the future
This selected collection of papers arises out of an Economic and Social Research Council seminar series entitled ‘Imagining the University of the Future’ devised by Valerie Hey and Louise Morley. T
Affective asymmetries
The ensuing paper is about the affective dimensions of the university. It seeks to argue that in the field of higher education/studies it would be productive to shift our centre of intellectual gravity away from desiccated top-down descriptions of policy to consider those who work and study there. In short how the academy is produced by those who practice in it. This refocus is timely since I argue that the dynamics of the restructuring Academy (…
Recovering from Romance
The Girl in the Mirror
This article questions Angela McRobbie's recent text The Aftermath of Feminism: Gender, Culture and Social Change because it creates some interesting new vocabulary for understanding late modernity's revised sexual and cultural politics. Whilst acknowledging the sophistication of its cultural studies-inspired argument, I consider some consequences of this reading. If theory also performs as a politics of representation, I ask what happens if, in …
Talking back to power
This viewpoint explores and shares our experience of ‘doing’ feminism in the context of its apparent ‘demise’. We were recently invited to attend an event at the Cabinet Office, to ‘discuss the impact aspirations and expectations within the community have on the educational achievement of young people in deprived areas’. The seminar was entitled, ‘Expert Seminar with the Minister for the Cabinet Office: Community Aspirations and Educational Attai…

Successful subjectivities? The successification of class, ethnic and gender positions
This article draws on data collected during a pilot study conducted in two west London schools exploring young people’s understandings of success. It considers ways in which ‘discourses of success’, as part of New Labour’s project of re‐inventing schooling, may shape young people’s subjectivity. The article examines articulations between New Labour policy and aspects of social difference and how these structure new identifications with success. I…
Getting over it?’ Reflections on the melancholia of reclassified identities
Recently I gave a presentation on class, success and subjectivity. One response was that I should ‘Get over it’. This comment informs the following discussion exploring some contradictory views about speaking personally in relation to class experience. There is a continual need to review the feminist mantra of the ‘personal is political’. Does revisiting ‘wounds’ suggest the regressive tendencies of class ‘identity politics’? Or is there somethin…
The politics of performative resignification
More than any other recent social theorist, constructing a disquisition on Butler’s ideas draws the writer into speculating on the formation of their own intellectual grammar, perhaps to confront the disconcerting truth of how often their own cherished analytical rationality is broken up by glimpses into the imagination of more provocative thinkers. I have come to the conclusion that it is not so much that we self-consciously assemble all of the …
The Contrasting Social Logics of Socialit and Survival
Late modernity has been characterized as a space, place and 'series of flows', marking conditions of complexity, contradiction and diversity as the global economics of capital restructuring reach down into the local/e to radically disorganize prior social forms of collective and political identity and allegiance (Giddens, 1998). Individualization implies a de-coupling of self from the weight of group, community and tradition, thus more local, idi…
The return of the repressed
Three distinct discourses frame this paper: ‘new public managerialism’, new modes of governmentality, and new masculinities and femininities. This paper considers the changing forms of governance in projects of educational professionalism emerging in the nested contexts of teaching, teacher training, and academic research within departments of education. It takes the production of the subject position of the manager/wo‐manager as central to manag…
Joining the Club? Academia and Working-class Femininities Correspondence
The feminist working-class academic is an exemplary queer subject, someone whose presence (and practice) questions the norms of the academy without ever being able to completely occupy the 'other' term. She is an archetypal late modern subject of reflexivity and mobility. This article explores some consequences of this position by looking at class as lived as a re/location, reflecting on its pleasures and pains. The author looks principally at au…
Horizontal Solidarities and Molten Capitalism
Friendship is a generative topic because it covers questions about the self and the social, so encompassing the political, public, personal and interpersonal negotiation of difference. Friends can embody the resistance as well as the enactment of 'fixing' positions as shown within recent ethnographic work on friendship as identity work (Hey, 1997 , 'The Company She Keeps', Open University Press). Theorised as a practice about making up and breaki…
The construction of academic time
This article offers a poststructuralist analysis of the academic division of labour in the UK higher education sector. It takes the standpoint of a contract researcher and explores some new contradictions of an intensified academic division of labour. It raises some political, social and methodological questions of these divisions through exploring their class and gender dimension. As Paul Rabinow (1986) has argued despite talk of reflexivity, mo…

New Labour, Social Exclusion and Educational Risk Management
This article considers New Labour's education and social exclusion policies in the light of Giddens's exposition of Third Way welfare reform. It focuses on the teenage mother policy trajectory, treating it as a case study of the gender politics of both the Third Way and of Anthony Giddens‐a key Labour Government organic intellectual. The article examines how New Labour understands the risks of teenage pregnancy and motherhood and how its teenage …

A Game of Two Halves' - A Critique of Some Complicities
In any society the production of discourse is at once controlled, selected, organised and redistributed according to a number of procedures whose role is to avert its powers and its dangers, to master the unpredictable event. (Foucault, 1981, p. 53 cited in Ball, 1990, p. 22)
