Tolstoi's Orphans
Orphanhood in Tolstoy has largely escaped critical examination, in part because though the writer himself was an orphan, his texts say little about the topic explicitly. But in fact thinking about orphans' trauma is everywhere in the pre-crisis fiction. Tolstoy draws orphans and non-orphans as fundamentally morally different. All his major protagonists are orphans and want to marry non-orphans. Further, many of his novelistic tics, and many criti…
Selfhood beyond the Species Boundary
Selfhood beyond the Species Boundary David Herman (bio) A review of Eduardo Kohn, How Forests Think: Toward an Anthropology beyond the Human. Berkeley: U of California P, 2013. Growing out of fieldwork conducted in the forests around Ávila, a Quichua-speaking Runa village in Ecuador's Upper Amazon region, Eduardo Kohn's How Forests Think participates in what might be called the "ontological turn" in recent anthropological research. This turn call…
Description, Narrative, and Explanation: Text-Type Categories and the Cognitive Foundations of Discourse Competence
Description, narrative, and explanation can be viewed both as cognitive activities and as forms of communication, that is, text types embedded within sociocultural, institutional, and discipline-specific histories of practice. I relate these three text-type categories to research on categorization processes more generally, exploring what might constitute the "basic" level of a taxonomy of text types (i.e., the most cognitively fundamental level) …
Ethnolinguistic identity and social cognition: Language prejudice as hermeneutic pathology
Analysts studying the nexus between language and ethnic identity have characterized ethnolinguistic ideologies as the deep structure of overt language practices. By contrast, this exploratory analysis argues for the advantages of shifting from a multi-level to a single-level explanatory model, consisting of interpretive frames and data (= aspects of sociocommunicative behavior) interpreted by way of those frames. The single-level model affords, a…

Michael Bamberg and Molly Andrews (eds.), Considering counter-narratives: Narrating, resisting, making sense . Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 2004. Pp. x, 381. HB $126.00. Growing out of two special issues of the journal Narrative Inquiry , this volume assembles six chapters that “contemplate the meaning of counter-narratives and their relationship to master or dominant narratives” (p. x). The book also contains six clusters of commentaries written i…
Paul Ricoeur: Tradition and Innovation in Rhetorical Theory
Reviewed by: Paul Ricoeur: Tradition and Innovation in Rhetorical Theory David Herman Ritivoi, Andreea Deciu. Paul Ricoeur: Tradition and Innovation in Rhetorical Theory. Albany: State University of New York Press, 2006. Pp. 168. This well-researched, clearly organized, and cogently argued study represents a remarkable scholarly achievement, not least because the book contributes importantly to at least four domains of inquiry at once: the histor…
Dialogue in a discourse context: Scenes of talk in fictional narrative
Building on recent studies of speech and thought representation in narrative fiction (Fludernik 1993; Herman 2002; Palmer 2004; Thomas 2002), this essay outlines the advantages of forging interconnections between narrative theory and a range of disciplinary frameworks concerned with talk — including literary theory, linguistic pragmatics, discourse analysis, gender studies, and research on socially distributed cognition. Using Virginia Woolf’s 19…
Wittgenstein's Legacy: Metagrammar, Meaning, and Ordinary Language
Wittgenstein’s Legacy: Metagrammar, Meaning, and Ordinary Language David Herman (bio) Review of: Walter Jost, Rhetorical Investigations: Studies in Ordinary Language Criticism Charlottesville: U of Virginia P, 2004. Ambitious in scope, richly integrative, and extensively researched, this study demonstrates its author’s familiarity with ideas from multiple fields of inquiry, including classical as well as modern rhetoric, critical theory, philosop…
Khadzhi-Murat's Silence
Khadzhi-Murat, Tolstoi's last major fiction, stands alone in his oeuvre in flagrant violation of his late ethical and aesthetic standards-an unprecedentedly dark apprehension of the human condition and a reconceptualization of piety. At its heart are silences-literal, near-, figurative, and implicit-in unspoken critique of all nontrivial language, narrative, moralizing, and teaching. Silence first strikes the reader in the hero's refusal to murmu…

The author of a 1983 English translation of Ferdinand de Saussure’s Cours de linguistique générale, as well as two previous books centering on Saussure’s theories of language (Reading Saussure and Language, Saussure, and Wittgenstein), Roy Harris brings a wealth of expertise to his new book on Saussure.

A la recherche du sens perdu
Theory makes an admirable attempt to introduce recent developments in linguistic semantics—specifically, the work of J. J. Katz—to readers trained in literary criticism and theory. The author argues that Katz’s ideas are relevant to problems of literary interpretation, claiming that they provide a new perspective on the problem of ‘‘determinate meaning’ ’ in literature. Dowling construes determinate meaning as ‘‘the notion that it is intelligible…

Postmodernism as Secondary Grammar
I should like to begin as synoptically as possible, measuring the postmodern all at once and as if from some immense orbital apogee, launched, adrift, but actively scanning-via satellite. We shall thus adopt a position like that of Joseph McElroy's orbiting cyborg-human brain transmogrified into Interplanetary Monitoring Platform (IMP Plus)-processing a series of signals that have been transmitted to us in complex code.1 The signals, scripting ou…

Stricken by Infection: Art and Adultery in Anna Karenina and Kreutzer Sonata
Resentment proceeds from powerlessness, said Rousseau. How true! A man is spiteful when he wants to do what is not in his power-he encounters obstacles and grows resentful. (57:136)Lev Tolstoi had originally intended to open Anna Karenina with a scene in Princess Betsy's salon, later moved to part 2 of the novel, in which the work's central themes are all touched on in the conversation of the gathered guests.
