Abstract (sommario):
Waldo Frank, who is now forgotten in Latin America, was once the most frequently read and admired North American author there. Though his work is largely neglected in the U.S., he was at one time the leading North American expert on Latin American writing. His name looms large in tracing the careers of Latin American writers in this country before 1940. Long before Franklin D. Roosevelt launched the Good Neighbor policy, Frank brought back to his countrymen news of Latin American culture.Frank went to South America when he was almost forty.

But perhaps no Latin American writer has had as close—and complicated—a relationship with the United States as Carlos Fuentes.

Despite having a rather weak family connection to Ireland, the American modernist poet Marianne Moore (1887-1972) described herself in a letter to Ezra Pound in 1919 as ‘Irish by descent’.

Chapter 1 discusses Moore’s self-confessed susceptibility to ‘Irish magic’ in relation to the increase in contributions from Irish writers during her editorship of The Dial maga

Abstract (sommario):
AbstractThe popular literary culture that emerged in the late 1990 s depended on a number of interdependent factors that formed a unique media ecology—book clubs (actual, online, televisual) literary bestsellers, Amazon.com, high-concept adaptation films, “superstore” bookstore chains, etc. The reading cultures generated by that media ecology were unified by certain overarching values, none more significant than the empowerment of amateur readers who were driven by the conviction that passionate reading was equal, if not superior to the bloodless close reading of professionalized readers. While the latter required a long apprenticeship, the former was guided by a self-imaging process that was fueled by a reading advice industry that provided confidence-building measures to validate that reading. The empowerment of readers depended on knowing where to look for both expertise and validation. Or, to put it another way, quality reading depended less on native intelligence, or a university education, and more on the ability to search and filter. Many of the factors that led to a fundamental recalibration of the relationship between amateur and professionalized reading have also changed the relationship between amateur and professional writing. I want to focus on the deeply conflicted perspectives concerning how the craft of writing is taught, or even can be taught, that have emerged over the past year in North American Literary cultures, in three contemporary novels, Tommy Orange’s There There (2018), Sigrid Nunez’s The Friend (2018) and Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We are Briefly Gorgeous (2019).

Abstract (sommario):
‘The Native novel’ outlines the first Native American novels— John Rollin Ridge’s Life and Adventures of Joaquin Murieta, the Celebrated California Bandit (1854) and Sophia Alice Callahan’s Wynema, a Child of the Forest (1891). It then goes on to describe the novels of Cherokee writer John Milton Oskison, Osage writer John Joseph Mathews, Salish writer D’Arcy McNickle, and Mourning Dove as well as the Red Power writing of the 1960s and 1970s. Since the first two novels, Native writers have used the form to test various responses to North American colonialism, from violent resistance to passive acceptance. The Native American novelist seeks to mediate, often subversively, between the “novel of resistance” and the “novel of assimilation.”

Abstract (sommario):
This essay examines the public career of James Iredell, who was probably Revolutionary-era North Carolina’s most influential propagandist. His first published essay, which appeared in September 1773, defended the jurisdiction of colonial courts in the foreign attachment controversy, and he was one of the first Whig writers to reject the sovereignty of Parliament in America. During the Revolution, Iredell continued to write on behalf of the American cause, but financial woes limited his political activities. During the debate over the ratification of the Constitution, however, Iredell emerged as one of North Carolina’s most energetic Federalists, and George Washington rewarded him with an appointment to the United States Supreme Court. Like many southern Federalists, Iredell supported the new government, but was wary of pushing federal power too far, and in his best known opinion, a dissent in Chisholm v. Georgia (1793), he argued that a state could not be sued in federal court without its consent.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract This chapter provides an account of the robust emergence of women writers in nineteenth-century Latin America and of the narratives they produced, focusing on the complex relationship between national and gender ideology, the literary field and the consolidation of the new republics, especially in the second half of the century. Rather than focusing on aestheticist frameworks for the myriad novels, novellas, and short stories; poems, essays, and plays; and diaries, letters, and press articles produced by them, it examines their interaction with the dominant male discourse and the strategies that women of letters developed in order to move beyond the age-old patriarchal mandate of “not saying what they knew, or saying that they didn’t know, or saying the opposite of what they knew” (Ludmer 48).1 If intellectuals of the so-called national period had an impossibly idealized concept of the literary woman, later critics’ and writers’ respect for them, from modernistas and throughout the twentieth century, was negligible. This rich and diverse corpus of writing published in the periodical press and in book form, from Chile to Mexico, had all but disappeared from literary memory and from the canon until it was rediscovered more than a century later by feminist activists in Latin American, (USA) North American, and European academia from the late 1990s and beyond.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter contextualizes the “broomstick wedding” in North America as a product of the social classifications that white Americans largely modelled from their British counterparts, though they simultaneously repositioned the discourse within the particular cultural framework of the antebellum United States. Specifically, it examines how slave owners understood the broomstick wedding and its relationship to slavery, determining that the elite patterns of matrimony existent in Britain were adopted by the southern aristocracy. Among American writers, social constructs of “race” and “otherness” were imbedded within elite discourses surrounding the broomstick ceremony that were once typically concentrated within class distinctions among British writers. On the other end, Northern abolitionists also opined on the broomstick wedding, framing it as a degrading custom forced upon the enslaved by those who enslaved them. Thus, the negative portrayals of those populations who “jumped the broom” came from various angles, highlighting how race and class were important components of differentiation. In the United States, then, “jumping the broom” becomes much more associated with constructs of “blackness,” as American writers and minstrel performers portrayed it as a custom connected to slavery and the traditions of enslaved people.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract Scholars of library culture have emphasized the importance of organizational systems and lending practices to the history of United States libraries, and to their emergence as practical and rhetorical sites of democratic significance in the US. This chapter examines literary representations of US library patrons and their acts of borrowing to complicate the idea of the North American library as a democratic institution. Drawing on a range of nineteenth- and twentieth-century literary engagements with the reading rooms and varied holdings of US libraries—social, domestic, reference, and free—it argues that writers of all stripes critiqued the limits of America’s changing democratic practices by reimagining the borrower’s roles and capabilities. For writers including Benjamin Franklin, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Washington Irving, Louisa May Alcott, Frederick Douglass, and Henry James, the borrower’s imaginative uses, manipulations, and circumventions of the library’s rules and regulations drew attention to the contradictions which had come to characterize the US democratic project by the beginning of the twentieth century.

Abstract (sommario):
Chapter two focuses on well-known Afro-Caribbean women writers, Jamaica Kincaid and Edwidge Danticat, who reside in the United States and make a significant contribution to “resistance culture.” Through narratives of return, Kincaid and Danticat challenge exploitative consumption and tourism in their literary works by exposing and utilizing the power that lies in the production of history. They do this by using their mobility and prominence in North American literary markets to inform potential tourists and fellow Caribbeans abroad of the injustices of the tourist industry that are rooted in the history of slavery and colonialism. Kincaid directly confronts and criticizes the tourist industry in her satirical essay/memoir A Small Place; while Danticat participates in and critiques the tourist industry with her travel guide/memoir After the Dance. They produce alternative travel narratives that resist the travel guide genre, which has historically defined “natives” (the other) outside of history, modernity, and humanity.

It suggests that the true test of the influence and genuine popularity of an American writer is whether a newspaper can publish his obituary and offer a literary assessment without hiring a literary expert. Faulkner, it claims, was one of those writers. He commanded the loyalty of a large body of working reporters. Long before he won the Nobel Prize there were newspapermen in Charlotte, North Carolina who considered every book of his an event. There are Southern school boys who write they wished they had died at Gettysburg just as there are Northerners who believe the South is composed of decaying mansions populated by decadent families. The chapter argues that Faulkner played an important role in bridging these conceptions and in a large sense, he can be compared to Charles Dickens.

Abstract (sommario):
This paper introduces four cultural catalysts in Indigenous architecture: language, place, kinship and transformation. Inspired by the interrelationship of physical, sociocultural and spiritual factors- the measurable and immeasurable – we investigate a number of concepts related to Indigenous thinking and ways of knowing. We contrast these notions with non-Indigenous writers including Pallasmaa, Ricoeurand Doshi, in the hopes of initiating a dialogue, and assisting the two-way knowledge transfer, between architecture and Indigenous theory.
