Aural Sex: The Female Orgasm in Popular Sound
In The Pleasure of the Text (1975), Roland Barthes defines representation and bliss as mutually incompatible terms. Bliss is the limit of selfhood and the threshold of the text; it runs parallel to and is incommensurable with pleasure. One cannot, according to Barthes's schema, represent bliss since bliss is the destruction of representation. With the experience of rapture or jouissance, the codes of orderly rhetorical representation are scramble…
Ephemera Underscored: Writing Around Free Improvisation
Extended Play: Sounding Off from John Cage to Dr. Funkenstein
Free, Single, and Disengaged: Listening Pleasure and the Popular Music Object
Rock and roll was scorned at first by the major record companies. They paid for their priggishness while basement labels like Chess and Sun made fortunes.

So it's silly to say of the listening public, as Adorno does, that in this insistence on the fas…
The Pharisaic revolution and Jesus as embodied Torah
The saint as patron in the work of Gregory of Tours
Gregory of Tours and his world have long been out of fashion; but despite modern neglect of his works, Gregory gives us access to an understanding of many important aspects of late antiquity, among which is the role of the saint as patron. Saints appear as patrons throughout Gregory's works; the focus of this study is his account of the miraculous deeds of St. Martin. The role of the saint as patron is best understood against the background of th…
