Abstract:
Abstract: Written after the proto-modernist novels Moby-Dick and Pierre , both of which elicited censure from contemporary critics, Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno” is recognized as an enigmatic and symbolic work that invites deep reflection on the status of literature, language, and signification. However, critics have not presented “Benito Cereno,” and more specifically the dramatic narrative that occurs aboard the slave ship San Dominick , as a crucial text vis-à-vis Melville’s experimental progression toward the genesis of the modern novel. This essay argues that in “Benito Cereno,” Melvi

Abstract This article argues that performance pedagogy can invest students in difficult literary texts through slow reading and textual adaptation. Drawing on her experience of teaching Herman Melville's “Benito Cereno” to her multilingual students, the author uses Melville's interest in drama and performance as a jumping-off point for an exercise in adapting the text for in-class performance.

Abstract:
This paper examines how Herman Melville's Benito Cereno is composed of interconnected multi-layered narratives, and considers the artistic and discursive effects they lead to when juxtaposed or combined with one another. In the process the paper pays close attention to Melville’s extraordinary ways of shaping characters with different perspectives of their own, and of utilizing delicately modulated narrative forms and heterogenous texts. Though all of these elements contribute to the layered nature of the work, Captain Delano’s characteristic self-deception, along with his free indirect speech

Abstract:
To reconsider the affective turn in American literary studies, this essay reads Herman Melville's “Bartleby, the Scrivener” (1853), with reference to “Benito Cereno” (1855) andThe Confidence-Man(1857), as an anti-affect story. By shedding light on silent characters in these works – Bartleby, Babo, and Black Guinea – it argues that Melville endeavors to adumbrate, not articulate, their private interiorities through language. Calling the inner recesses of his silent characters “secret emotions,” Melville probes into the boundaries between the effable and the ineffable by testing the limits of li

Abstract:
In 1928, Harold H. Scudder first demonstrated that Herman Melville's story Benito Cereno had been closely based on chapter 18 of Amasa Delano's Narrative of Voyage and Travels in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres (1817). On the basis of the two texts' similarities, Scudder argued that Melville's story was mere reworking of Delano's account. Scudder's argument clearly overlooked Melville's ability to reframe the story in an ironic narration or to invest the details of Delano's plot with new meaning; nevertheless, readers of Delano's narrative might be amazed at how closely Melville's story

Abstract:
At the conclusion of “Benito Cereno” Herman Melville “elucidate[s]” a curious “item or two,” including Cereno's ultragentlemanly apparel. This return to the issue of Cereno's clothes reiterates the Yankee Delano's preoccupation with Cereno as a dandy, restaging Delano's tendency to focus unswervingly on the apparently complex markers of class superiority signaled by such genteel refinement—and, within the logic of that preoccupation, to ignore the seemingly transparent truth presented by the naked black body. Melville mobilizes the figure of the dandy. I suggest, to interrogate the Yankee's ve

Abstract:
Rather than resist slavery directly, the narrative world of Benito Cereno disperses the rejection of tyranny through the intricate construction of subject-object relations, the situational context, Benito Cereno’s stifled, semi-articulated statements, the imagery of the narrative and its complex narrative structure. Through silences, multiple viewpoints, innuendos, refusal to solve certain issues definitely while being explicit about this indeterminacy, Melville’s narrative not only inscribes itself in the Romantic questioning of historiography, but also gestures towards postmodernist inconclu

This essay examines three of Herman Melville’s shorter fictions: Bartleby, Benito Cereno and Billy Budd. An analysis and comparison is made of the forces of power relations and resistance between the main characters in the three stories. Foucault’s theories of power are used as a basis for the analysis. Apparent power structures such as law and military hierarchy are analysed, but the focus is on more subtle relations based on language, knowledge, conformity with norms, silence, capitalism and position. It is argued that, apart from the apparent power structures, one needs to consider the more

My project examines the phenomenon of the hazy spaces on the periphery of the antebellum imagination that, while existing geographically at the very fringes of daily American life, are nonetheless active in the conceptualization, production, and representation of an idiosyncratic American sense of space: an anxiety of spatial fragmentation, formlessness, and modulation. In particular I am interested in Poe's “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym” and Melville's “Benito Cereno,” both of which deal with American transoceanic travel to the proximity of Antarctica and its surrounding seas.

Integrating close readings with critical theory, I establish that Melville was challenging the new rhetoric of philanthropy that created a moral identity for wealthy men in industr

Abstract:
This chapter explores the genesis of Herman Melville’s unfinished final prose work, the novella Billy Budd. To do so, it relies upon Hayford and Sealts’s Genetic Text Edition, and upon the Fluid Text Edition available on the Melville Electronic Library. Billy Budd tells the story of its titular protagonist, a sailor who is wrongfully accused of mutinous intent and, ultimately, is hanged. In the fragmented sections of its conclusion, Melville enumerates Billy’s afterlife in memory — revealing how variously and incorrectly others judge his innocence and interpret his fate.
