Abstract:
Daniel Clinton, “Line and Lineage: Visual Form in Herman Melville’s Pierre and Timoleon” (pp. 1–29) This essay examines Herman Melville’s reflections on form, line, and perspective in his novel Pierre (1852) and his poems on art and architecture in Timoleon (1891), a late book of verse partly inspired by his tour of the Mediterranean during 1856–57. I argue that Melville arrives at his understanding of literary form through the language of optical perspective, particularly the terms of “foreshortening” and “outline.” I compare Melville’s figurative conception of outline with the artistic theor

Phrenology has a fascinating, although controversial, place in the history of localizationism of brain and mental functions. The 2 main proponents of phrenology were 2 German-speaking doctors, Joseph Gall (1758–1828) and Johann Spurzheim (1776–1832). According to their theory, a careful examination of skull morphology could disclose personality characters. Phrenology was initially restricted to medical circles and then diffused outside scientific societies, reaching nonscientific audiences in Europe and North America. Phrenology deeply penetrated popular culture in the 19th century and its ten

Abstract:
The work of the outstanding American writer Herman Melville (1819–1891) is widely acknowledged for its profound philosophical depth. It parallels various philosophical and religious traditions, works, figures, ideas, etc. However, the author’s philosophical position remains insufficiently researched. Among his works, one key in this regard is the short story “Cock-A-Doodle-Do! or, The Crowing of the Noble Cock Beneventano” (1853). It offers Melville’s feedback on a few ideas of such representatives of American transcendentalism as Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882) and Henry David Thoreau (1817–1

Herman Melville, Escritor norteamericano, nacido en New York en 1819-1891, autor de la obra épica Moby Dick (1851), para la crítica literaria, es una de las obras de mayor trascendencia universal. En ella se narra una alegoría, desde la cual se ausculta lo humano y su capacidad para sobrevivir. En ella, nos asalta la dualidad de su naturaleza: el bien y el mal, una convivencia que se vive en altar mar. Obcecación por parte del capitán Ahab por cazar a la ballena blanca. De esta manera:

This dissertation explores the radical narrative strategies engaged by Melville in the composition of his prose fictions. It is my contention that Melville's writings to an important degree constitute a subversive response to the privileged apocalyptic and teleological narratives of the day-national, ontological, metaphysical, and literary, or aesthetic-and that he primarily engages these narratives in terms of the archetypal

Much of the current critical literature on Moby-Dick lacks a unifying focus. This essay attempts to provide a thread of continuity for Moby-Dick by proving that paradox and Herman Melville’s anticipation of the early existential movement hold the key to a full reading of this text. By viewing the text itself, Melville’s personal correspondence, and the writings of Emerson, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, the paradoxical tension by which this text must be read comes into clearer focus.<br>Thesis (M.A.)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.<br>"May 2006."<br>Includ

This thesis considers Herman Melville's Moby-Dick as a textual strategy of possible, alternative models of reading, as well as a text in itself. I approach the text as a drama of interpretations and argue that the individual consciousnesses of different interpreters represent different interpretive strategies, and that these differences suggest distinct structures of community. This approach becomes more focussed in the discussion of Ahab and Ishmael as representatives of two contrasting interpretive possibilities, of "reading" the text as a "pasteboard mask" which conceals a stable identity a

Rebours de l'evangile de lar richesse, melville met en lumiere l'experience de la depossession. Alors que triomphe le messianisme nationaliste, il devoile les deviations de la "destinee manifeste" et les captations illegitimes de l'heritage religieux. Il demasque la volonte de puissance qui opere sous le voile de la foi partagee. Or, paradoxalement, le monde despiritualise du marche pourrait etre malgre ces travestissements de la foi le theatre d'une revelation ambigue dans la mesure ou le destin christique du depuillement semble s'y rejouer.
