Ruined Paradise
The nineteenth-century Kingdom of Naples was the location of two sites crucial to the emerging sciences of geology and archaeology: the Temple of Serapis at Pozzuoli and the partly excavated city of Pompeii.Where the relations between literature and the formation of geology have received some critical attention, archaeology has been less closely examined.The tensions between geology and archaeology are significant in the development of both, espe…
Unnoticed apocalypse
The slogan 'capitalism is crisis' is one that has recently circulated swiftly around the global Occupy movement. From Schumpeter to Marx himself, the notion that the economic cycles instituted by capitalism require periodic crises as a condition of renewed capital accumulation is a commonplace. However, in a number of recent texts, this conception of crisis as constituting the very form of urban capitalist development itself has taken on a more e…
Gothic Terms, Themes, Concepts and Contexts
Just as THE UNCANNY offers a connection to the structure of the unconscious, the abject offers a sensation of horror that connects us viscerally to the experience of repression and the process of subject formation. For Julia Kristeva, in Powers of Horror, abjection disturbs ‘identity, system, order’ and is characterised by ‘the in-between, the ambiguous, the composite’.
Gothic Locations
In Love and Death in the American Novel (1960), Leslie Fiedler describes AMERICAN LITERATURE as ‘bewilderingly and embarrassingly, a gothic fiction’ that wrestles with moral/psychological questions and exposes the American soul’s hidden ‘blackness’. Attentive to the dark side of America’s socio-political legacy and ‘the sins of the fathers’, American Gothic wrestles with that nation’s two ‘special guilts’ — ‘the slaughter of the Indians’ and ‘the…
The Scene of the Crime
This article examines the meanings of the crime scene in serial killings, and the tensions between the real and the imagined in the circulation of those meanings. Starting with the Whitechapel Murders of 1888 it argues that they, as well as forming an origin for the construction of the identity of ‘the serial killer’, initiate certain ideas about the relationship of subjects to spaces and the existence of the self in the modern urban landscape. I…
Cultural Politics at the Fin de Siècle
Cultural Politics at the Fin de Siècle scrutinises ways in which current conflicts of 'race', class, and gender have their origins in the cultural politics of the last fin de siècle, whose influence stretched from the 1890s, when economic depression signalled the end of Britain's role as 'the workshop of the world', to 1914 when world war accelerated imperial decline. This collaborative venture by new and established scholars includes discussion …
