Hazel Motes, war veteran
The article claims that Hazel Motes in Flannery O’Connor’s novel Wise Blood is a veteran of the Second World War. He fought in the desert war in North Africa in 1943. The desert war was notable for its large number of cases of mental breakdown amongst American troops and the unusual psychology of Hazel might reflect post-traumatic stress disorder. The article argues that Motes’s participation in the war forms an essential foundation for O’Connor’…
Reclaiming Southern Pathology
James Agee’s Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941), a documentary account of three cotton tenant families in Depression Alabama, centres on the image of the wound in its representations of tenant poverty. But Agee also transposes this image into more biological terms so that the tenants are seen as damaged cells or embryos. This transposition can be framed as a 1930s eugenic concern with pathological bodies. But this article argues, through a compa…
Mesopotamian Faulkner
This article attempts to read William Faulkner’s novel As I Lay Dying (1930) within the recent theoretical framework of the Anthropocene. It pays particular attention to the local appearance of the Anthropocene in the interwar American South, which became visible in flooding and deforestation. It argues that the story of the hill-farming Bundren family requires more than an ideological reading that would emphasize the eventual assimilation of the…
Evaluation of Screening Tests in Bavarian Healthcare Facilities during the Second Wave of the Sars-CoV-2 Pandemic
Due to the lack of data on asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2-positive persons in healthcare institutions, they represent an inestimable risk. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the first 1,000,000 reported screening tests of asymptomatic staff, patients, residents, and visitors in hospitals and long-term care (LTC) facilities in the State of Bavaria over a period of seven months. Data were used from the online database BayCoRei (Bavari…
Change in exposure of children to second-hand smoke with impact on children’s health and change in parental smoking habits after smoking ban in Bavaria – a multiple cross-sectional study
After 11 years of smoking ban in Bavaria, smoking displacement to homes was disproved. Exposure of children to SHS intrauterine and at home is decreasing. Number of parents who are not actively smoking is increasing over time. Prevalence of health problems in children related to exposure to SHS is decreasing
Jay Watson, Faulkner and the Faces of Modernity
Jay Watson, Faulkner and the Faces of Modernity. Oxford University Press, 2019. Pp.396. ISBN: 9780198849742 Joseph Kuhn, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań This study of William Faulkner is an exhilarating book to read. Jay Watson’s historicist and new materialist interpretations—which have an intensely granular focus—allow readers to see important things in Faulkner’s writing that they might have overlooked. Why, for example, in The Sound and th…
