Canceling Israel
“An academic boycott of Israeli institutions should be called out for what it is,” Cary Nelson declares in the first in-depth, full-length study of the scholactivism behind the BDS movement to disinvite Israel from the family of nations. And what his research reveals, he concludes, is nothing less than “a selective anti-faculty, anti-research, and anti-student agenda,” with consequences not only for Jewish faculty and students but for the academy…
Self-Hating Nazis
From Heidegger’s portentous “Letter on Humanism” (written in 1946 and published in France the next year) to Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy’s trend-surfing 1980 conference “The Ends of Man” (inspired by Jacques Derrida’s celebrated 1969 essay of the same name), the dereified human subject was over and again cast by leading thinkers of mid-century Europe as a relic of Western metaphysics in decline—on its way out with logocentrism, lat…
Killing the Messenger
Shakespeare's Fault or Yours? Melzer's Maxim
Arthur Melzer's tremendous accomplishment is even greater than he may realize. The tradition of esoteric writing in political philosophy exists, as he convincingly demonstrates, and the consequences of this discovery are as significant as he claims. But the method of esoteric reading that he recommends applies more broadly than he seems to suggest. Applied liberally, moreover, as a corrective to nearly everything that's gone wrong with education …
The Case Against Academic Boycotts of Israel
Last year, the British scholar Alan Johnson spoke up against a resolution to boycott Israel at the National University of Ireland, Galway. As he recounts the experience, “Anti-Israel student activists tried to break up the meeting by banging on the tables, using the Israeli flag as a toilet wipe, and screaming at me, again and again, ‘Fuck off our fucking campus you fucking Zionist!’” This outburst came from students “whose heads were filled with…
Reading City of Quartz in Ankara
Turks still refuse to admit responsibility for the massacre of Armenians nearly a hundred years ago. Denial and projection have become a way of life, in which the West is blamed for everything. Looking back in 2004 from his residence in Turkey on his home in northern California, where they blame themselves for everything, the author realized that liberal, tolerant, multi-confessional, multiethnic, postmodern society is not so bad. Its enemies are…
The Hospitable Canon
1. Foreword 2. Canons and Differences (by Altieri, Charles) 3. Reading 'Nasty' Great Books (by Furst, Lilian R.) 4. Marginality: Stickball, Narcissus, and the Demands of Faith (by Cooke, Michael S.) 5. Creative Intuition, Great Books, and Freedom of Intellect (by Royal, Robert) 6. Perplexing Lessons: Is There a Core Tradition in the Humanities? (by Shattuck, Roger) 7. Jorge Luis Borges and the Canon of English Literature (by Penna, Rosa E. M. D.)…
Contingent Meanings
In making case for mimetic function in postmodern fiction, Jerry Varsava evaluates the American reception of postmodern fiction, challenging both the critics who condemn postmodernism as morally pointless and those who celebrate postmodern fiction for its aesthetic alone. He then advances view of mimesis: the reader of fiction, not the writer, establishes the text's reference to the world. Varsava interprets selected postmodern fictions in the se…
