Shifting Ground
We open the Winter 2009 issue of Biography by calling attention to "Pacific People," an evening of oli, mele, hula, theatre, poetry, autobiography, and biography, to articulate the significance of Hawai'i as the location of the Sixth Biennial IABA Conference. For the contributors to this volume, translation is, in the broadest terms, a form of representation and action that mediates-inevitably by coming between-cultures and languages in genres th…
The Text is Myself
Queen Lili'uokalani, the last monarch of Hawai'i, was forced to abdicate and her homeland was annexed. American poet H.D. wrote through the London blitz. Italian novelist and art critic Anna Banti lost the manuscript of her novel about Artemisia Gentileschi but survived the war's devastation to rewrite it. German-Jewish novelist Grete Weil fled to Holland, but her husband was arrested there and murdered by the Nazis. Chilean novelist Isabel Allen…
Autobiography & Geography
When the cottage that housed the Center for Biographical Research and Biography was demolished last year (and the offices relocated), surprising details of our own history were revealed. The building had a more complicated history than we had ever considered (though admittedly we hadn't given the matter much thought). We learned that it had never been just a funky cottage, nor just a picturesque corner of the university campus. The most extreme n…
The French New Autobiographies
This work explores the new autobiographical genre, the auto-fictions, that emerged from France in the 1980s. It focuses on three figures of French avant-garde writing, whose autobiographies fall between fact and fiction, and examines the conventions of traditional autobiographies
Autobiography and Postmodernism
Reading toward the Indigenous Pacific
The phrase cultural has been used to characterize recent modes of cross-cultural inquiry. According to Betty Jean Craige, holistic scholars are like ecologists, investigating the diverse parts of ecosystems for patterns of interactivity and reciprocal change. No single organism (or population group) within the environment (or global community) is superior, and each supports the workings of the larger system. Writing in the guest column of the May…
Djuna Barnes and T. S. Eliot
Cet examen de la correspondance entre T. S. Eliot et D. Barnes revele comment leur collaboration editoriale et le jugement litteraire du poete sur Nightwood et The Antiphon prirent la forme d'une re-appropriation de l'autorite de la romanciere, effectuee aux depens de sa creativite et de sa propre production litteraire

Fabricating Lives
Dr. Matthew O'Connor
Dr. Matthew O'Connor: the unhealthy healer of Djuna Barnes's Nightwood Miriam Fuchs Nearly fifty years after the publication of Nightwood, critics are still arguing over the merits of this strange and powerful novel. Many agree with T. S. Eliot, who was Djuna Barnes's editor at Faber and Faber, that "beauty of phrasing" and "brilliance of wit and characterisation" are two of the qualities that make Nightwood an important American novel.1 Other cr…
