Desire and disinterest in Dusklands
Disinterest is one of the most distrusted of all the terms which pass down to us from post-Kantian aesthetic theory, because it is often taken to imply an ideologically suspect transcendence of the desiring embodied subject. Yet the need to which it points persists, as is evident from Coetzee’s essay “Erasmus: Madness and Rivalry” (1992), where a certain conception of aesthetic disinterest (a sought-for ‘evasive (non)position inside/outside the p…

Travel and the “Italian Question” among English Catholics, 1836–1870
A Historical Plankton Index
The North Sea region boasted one of the world’s most important fisheries for many centuries. Climate directly and indirectly influences the development and survival of many important pelagic fish in the North Sea ecosystem. One indirect influence is the food availability in the form of phyto- and zooplankton abundance, which is strongly controlled by environmental factors. One of these environmental factors is local sea surface temperatures. A ne…
Historical marine footprint for Atlantic Europe, 1500–2019
Over the last 500 years, Europe (excluding Russia) consumed over 2500 million tonnes of ocean biomass. This is based on detailed historical data that we provide for human consumption per capita which was stable from 1500 to 1899 and tripled in the twentieth century. In the last 300 years, cod and herring dominated human seafood consumption. Whaling for non-food uses peaked in the 1830s and declined as cetaceans became scarce. Seafood consumption …
“Whose house? Our House!”
This article analyzes videos shared during the United States Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, where supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol Building in an attempt to disrupt the certification of Joseph Biden’s presidential victory. We analyzed videos distributed on Facebook, Twitter, Parler, Snapchat, DLive, Twitch, and Periscope to examine how participants structured a narrative of their actions as a form of political re…
The North Atlantic Fish Revolution (ca. AD 1500)
We propose the concept of the “Fish Revolution” to demarcate the dramatic increase in North Atlantic fisheries after AD 1500, which led to a 15-fold increase of cod ( Gadus morhua ) catch volumes and likely a tripling of fish protein to the European market. We consider three key questions: (1) What were the environmental parameters of the Fish Revolution? (2) What were the globalising effects of the Fish Revolution? (3) What were the consequences…
Intimate Memoirs
The memoir boom of the 1980s and 90s has been linked to the emergence of what Lauren Berlant named ‘intimate public spheres’, and it has been both celebrated and criticized for its elevation of the sentimental and the emotive. But what exactly is intimacy, and what kinds of writing best sustain it? Exploring a wide range of memoirists, including James Frey, Augusten Burroughs, Sylvia Fraser, Alice Sebold, Katherine Harrison, Mary Karr, Frank Conr…
The Oxford History of Life-Writing
With the growing urgency of questions about how to claim identity and achieve authenticity, life-writing started to acquire an unprecedented cultural importance. A range of social and economic developments, from the publishing boom in memoir writing to the rise of the internet, transformed the possibilities for self-expression. By the end of the timespan covered in this book life-writing was no longer something done mainly by important individual…
Inventing the Grand Banks
As a feature of the Fish Revolution (1400-1700), the early modern "invention" of the Grand Banks in literary and cartographical documents facilitated a massive and unprecedented extraction of cod from the waters of the north Atlantic and created the Cod/Sack trade Triangle. This overlapped with the southern Atlantic Slave, Sugar, and Tobacco Triangle to capitalise modern European and North American societies. In 1719, Pierre de Charlevoix claimed…
European naval diets in the sixteenth century
This paper develops and utilizes novel methods that combine historical records concerning the diets of European naval mariners in the sixteenth century with modern information on the nutritional content of food. Energy, vitamin, and mineral intakes were compared to modern recommended values. Calorie provisions were sufficient and relatively constant in all Western European fleets. The absence of vitamin C was a universal failure of the naval diet…
J.M. Coetzee and the Novel
'Anti‐illusionism is, I suspect, only a marking of time, a phase of recuperation, in the history of the novel. The question is, what next?' (J. M. Coetzee). Placing Coetzee in relation to the long tradition of the novel, from Beckett, Kafka, and Dostoevsky to Richardson, Defoe, and Cervantes, this book argues that Coetzee's significance lies in the acuity with which he has explored the resources of that tradition as part of a sustained attempt to…
