What Hole? Or, Where Have You Been All Your Life
Something extra’
This article proposes literature and psychoanalysis as forms of critical education, putting in urgent question the market-driven, instrumental models of learning that currently dominate higher education policy. In psychoanalytic terms, it argues, the primary mechanism at work in such a policy is what psychoanalysis calls splitting, which involves above all a kind of banishment of doubt and a rigid assurance in the rightness of the status quo that…

'No Room for Truth'
This article explores André Schwarz-Bart's famous novel, The Last of the Just, as the expression of twin crises in literary and religious representation. Ernie Levy's words, ' there is no room for truth here', spoken on the transport to Auschwitz as he cradles and comforts a dying child with stories of an idyllic afterlife, become the point of departure for a reading of the novel in terms of the loss of just this 'room for truth'.

Through the Student's Eyes
In the fall of this year, students at the State University of New York (SUNY) public medical schools received unsettling news. The SUNY Board of Trustees decided to enact mid-year and retroactive 20 percent tuition increases at the SUNY public medical schools. What was particularly troubling about this was the further indication that this is only the first installment in a proposed series of similar annual tuition hikes for each of the next three…

Phenomenologies of mourning
James Ellroy, Los Angeles and the spectacular crisis of masculinity
Criminal Proceedings offers a comprehensive view of some of the most important developments in crime fiction. The contributors explore the significant new directions which the genre has recently taken and examine their importance in terms of American cultural self-definition as they tap into contemporary concerns about place, identity, gender, race, oppression and justice. In particular, the contributors focus on the ways in which new multicultur…
