Marina Warner and the Ethics of Telling Silenced Stories
My first experience with Marina Warner’s work was reading Alone of All Her Sex in the early 1980s and, as a lapsed Catholic who had grown up in Italy, I found the book lifechanging. It retold the cultural history of the Virgin Mary critically and from a feminist perspective that did not, however, deny the emotional and stealthy power of this myth, “as spirited and as often imperceptible as an underground stream,” on women as well as men (xxv). Wa…

The Power of the Steel-Tipped Pen: Reconstructing Native Hawaiian Intellectual History
Like her pathbreaking Aloha Betrayed, Noenoe K. Silva's new book draws extensively on Hawaiian-language newspaper sources to foreground the agency and knowledge that Hawaiians have, for over 150 years, wielded in writing to protest and counter their dispossession. While Aloha Betrayed sought to dispel the myth of Hawaiians' passive acceptance of U.S. annexation, “the main purpose of [The Power of the Steel-Tipped Pen] is to further the project of…
Narrative Cultures, Situated Story Webs, and the Politics of Relation
As Thomas King afffirmed in his 2003 Massey Lectures, “the truth about stories is that that’s all we are” (2). This is why I am genuinely excited about this new journal, Narrative Culture, and find myself responding somewhat foolheartedly to its editors’ call for an opinion piece.1 What is the scope of narrative culture? What are some of the challenges and opportunities the framework of narrative culture poses to specific disciplines? What in thi…
Aloha America: Hula Circuits through the U.S. Empire
Making complex arguments about the hula in the context of U.S. imperialism, Adria L. Imada utilizes archival and ethnographic research to explore the hula “as an embodied form of history” (p. 32). The arguments are successfully organized around different sites of performance: King Kalākaua's court in the 1880s; North American and European touring circuits, starting in 1892 just before the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy; U.S. world's fairs bef…

Postmodern Fairy Tales: Gender and Narrative Strategies

An Introduction to the "Innocent Persecuted Heroine" Fairy Tale
Now, the movement in and out of gender as ideological representation, which I propose characterizes the subject of feminism, is a movement back and forth between the representation of gender (in its male-centered frame of references) and what that representation leaves out or, more pointedly, makes unrepresentable.... The movement between them ... is the tension of contradiction, multiplicity, heteronomy. Teresa de Lauretis
"Cracking the Mirror Three Re-Visions of "Snow White
A close examination of Donald Barthelme's Snow White, writes Judith Halden in a recent essay, reveals that, in one sense, his retelling of traditional fairy tale is nothing new. For centuries storytellers have retold tales in their own ways, embellishing storyline with details peculiarly representative of both individual teller and his time.l Consequently, Halden proceeds to argue, this novel, contrary to several current analyses, is indeed a fai…
