Interpreting the keyword “China” and its collocations in selected correspondence of Pearl S. Buck, 1939–1946
A work of digital scholarship, this essay presents the discovery of archival data obtained from unpublished correspondence written by American novelist Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973). Using digital tools, our project rendered and analyzed a keyword database in order to identify and measure the keyword “China” in relation to other value‐laden collocations—such as country, friend, and people—which Buck promulgated widely in her role as public intellectu…
Sovereign Stories
Padraig Kirwan’s first book, Sovereign Stories, is a generous work which negotiates carefully between a comprehensive and scholarly synthesis of the field in contemporary indigenous studies and the
Twenty‐First Century “Chinoiserie”
Twenty‐first century “Chinoiserie”, the title of the present cluster of essays offered via the Global Circulation Project, offers a series of perspectives on the philology of Chinese literary studies, culture, and language using formerly unimaginable scalars of “worldedness” (Hayot), even as the nation‐state, China, strives to assert the continuation of its own revolutionary project distinct from the global “market.” Presenting a forward philolog…
American Modernist Poetry and the Chinese Encounter
Thomas King
E. M. Forster, Religious Broadcasting and the Knight Row, 1955–1956
Postwar religious broadcasting in Britain sought to accommodate diverging aims, with public radio as the established arena for Christian evangelism and yet also an emerging forum for dissenting viewpoints in an increasingly faith-averse age. A transitional figure within literary modernism, E. M. Forster embraced broadcast radio in the effort to disseminate ‘culture,’ even as he sought to make the ethical turn away from culture as religious. Since…
When Warriors and Poachers Trade
When Warriors and Poachers Trade: Duncan MacDonald’s Through Nez Perce Eyes and the Birth of Separate Sovereignties during the nimiipu War of 1877 Stuart Christie Within contemporary indigenous studies, arguments on behalf of sovereign separatism are warranted both legally and culturally. Sovereign autonomy is evident in legal structures and precedents established by bands and tribes first, through tradition and second, given the colonial context…
The Anachronistic Novel
Reappropriating Franco Moretti’s term ‘distant reading’, this essay positions American novelist Pearl S. Buck as both the outsider‐inside a particular Chinese cultural tradition as well as an insider‐outside the tradition of Chinese fictionalized historiography (the modern xiaoshuo ) which allowed for the birth of a globalized ‘China’ in the English‐language novel. Buck’s anachronistic legacy, I argue, runs afoul of Moretti’s own tendency in The …
Blood Legacies
In a consensus reached by bands, tribes, and colonizers alike, the sovereignties indigenous people exercise today in the Anglo-European sphere of control have been largely defined as blood sovereignties. As a result, the representation of blood in contemporary literary works has also emerged as a site of contestation, between the promise of consanguinity sustaining indigenous continuity in recognizably sovereign forms on the one hand, as well as …
Plural Sovereignties and Contemporary Indigenous Literature
Offering close readings of novels by Sherman Alexie to Leslie Marmon Silko, this book documents the reinvention of Anglo-European nationality in the interests of sustaining the indigenous traditions t
E. M. Forster as Public Intellectual
This essay offers historical and theoretical context for the emergence of E. M. Forster as a public intellectual before, during, and after the Second World War. Moving well beyond the traditional domain of belles lettres, Forster's “public” capacity in print journalism and radio presented a new and significant model, mandate, and agency for modernist writers. Even as his audience grew, Forster resisted top-down attempts to place controls over his…

Introducing Nury Vittachi
Renaissance Man
We’ve been stuck in place since House Made of Dawn.\n--Sherman Alexie\nAs Louis Owens suggests, the term American Indian Renaissance conveys both short-sightedness and an overstatement of the obvious. If American Indian writers and scholars feel their hackles rising at the moniker, it is because the notion of an American Indian Renaissance “denigrates both the incredible richness of American Indian oral traditions and the contributions long made …
Trickster Gone Golfing
In his articulation of trickster discourse, Gerald Vizenor asserts the inventedness of any static or artifactual basis for American Indian identity. Describing the postmodern language game of the trickster sign, Vizenor calls trickster communal, an erotic shimmer in oral traditions; [where] the narrative voices are holotropes [shimmering, shape-shifting signs] in a discourse.' In this essay I seek to dialogue with the Chippewa writer's notion of …
