  • Meet the “More Immediate and Intense” Ursula K. Le Guin

    Kenneth M RoemerARTICLEUtopian Studies2025

    Caveat Lector: (1) This review essay assumes a reader who has little knowledge of Le Guin’s expansive canon of poetry. I was one of those readers; (2) I make no pretense of knowing the scholarship on the poems. Because my source of information, Ursula K. Le Guin: Collected Poems, is excellent, I do, however, hope some of my comments will be useful to the poetry-knowledgeable readers; (3) I am not an “objective” Le Guin reader. My admiration for h…

  • Utopia Calls

    Kenneth M RoemerARTICLEUtopian Studies2020

    The essay offers a profile of Lyman Tower Sargent's career as a “calling” manifested in his half century of dedication to expanding the utopian literature canon in print and digital bibliographies, his widely used definitions that establish boundaries for the bibliographies, his efforts to convince different academic and nonacademic audiences in a variety of forms of the importance of utopianism, and his mentorship of young scholars

    Making DoMomaday’s Survivance Ceremonies Kenneth M. Roemer (bio) I think she was trying to carve the souls of her children into the birds. She was making do. Linda Hogan, “Making Do” I One of the most powerful and beautiful episodes in one of the most influential works of American Indian literature finds the protagonist, Abel, broken down and depressed, atop a hill in Los Angeles.

    This article examines the complex relationship between American Indian poetry and translation, arguing that the act of translation often misrepresents and distorts the original meaning and cultural context of the poems. The authors analyze how the Western literary tradition's emphasis on fixed meaning and individual authorship clashes with the oral traditions and communal values of many Indigenous cultures. They explore the challenges of translat…

  • The Cambridge Companion to Utopian Literature

    Open AccessFatima Vieira, J C Davis et al.BOOKThe Cambridge companion to…2010

    Since the publication of Thomas More's genre-defining work Utopia in 1516, the field of utopian literature has evolved into an ever-expanding domain. This Companion presents an extensive historical survey of the development of utopianism, from the publication of Utopia to today's dark and despairing tendency towards dystopian pessimism, epitomised by works such as George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.

    Invisible, marginal, expected - these words trace the path of recognition for American Indian literature written in English since the late eighteenth century. This Companion chronicles and celebrates that trajectory by defining relevant institutional, historical, cultural, and gender contexts, by outlining the variety of genres written since the 1770s, and also by focusing on significant authors who established a place for Native literature in li…

    Kenneth M Roemer, Kenneth RoemerARTICLEAmerican Literature1994

    In 1987 a graduate student came to me with what seemed to be an ingenious excuse for avoiding a reading assignment. She explained that she came from a rural background and was raised in a superstitious family. After reading John Bierhorst's introduction to Washington Matthews's translation of parts of the Dine or Navajo Nightway,1 she was afraid to read the text. She called my attention to Bierhorst's comment about Navajo who believed that Matthe…

  • Indian Lives

    Open AccessKenneth M Roemer, Hertha D Sweet Wong et al.ARTICLEAmerican Quarterly1994

    THOUGH THEY ARE CERTAINLY NOT INFALLIBLE INDICES TO CANON revision, the annual eight-hundred sessions of the MLA Convention do, at least, suggest trends. The distribution of sessions during the past few years and American Indian literature's recent elevation from discussion group to division status (a key bureaucratic and symbolic step) indicate a growing, though highly selective, interest in Native American literature. Most of the sessions and i…

    174 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE One might object that this microscopic approach, this emphasis on individual personalities and specific corporate cultures, necessarily neglects the role of more general social and economic conditions af­ fecting innovation. Organizational politics and discordant personali­ ties may hamper development in one company, but in an industry as competitive as the computer industry, other, more congenial organi­ z…
