• Chaucer's Rape, Southern Racism, and the Pedagogical Ethics of Authorial Malfeasance

  Tison Pugh

  • Hide Abstract

  Abstract: The author considers cases of literary figures whose ethics might make readers uncomfortable—Geoffrey Chaucer’s possible rape of a young woman, Flannery O’Connor’s possible racism—and argues that, even though postmodernism has “killed” the author as an object of critical inquiry, careful attention to questions of authorial and readerly ethics can still play an important role in both our students’ development as critical and engaged readers and our own.

• Deflecting the Political in the Visual Images of Execution and the Death Penalty Debate

  Diana George and Diane Shoos

  • Show Abstract
  • Hide Abstract

  Abstract: Examining a range of visual images of executions, both legal (the executions of convicted murderers) and extralegal (the lynchings of innocent African Americans), in still photographs and in Hollywood films, the authors suggest that while such images may flatten and neutralize the popular debates and politics surrounding the issues, this is not inevitable, and that if we work at sustaining careful attention to its operations the image is neither self-evident nor doomed to obscure the political.

• The Lost Island of English Studies: Globalization, Market Logic, and the Rhetorical Work of Department Web Sites

  Craig Stroupe

  • Show Abstract
  • Hide Abstract

  Abstract: The author identifies possibilities of a “lost island” rhetoric that situates English department Web sites--and the profession’s defining practices--in an ambivalent relationship to global capital via the online network. The article describes how three department sites variously employ this rhetoric to assert English studies’ own forms of intellectual productivity and cultural value in dialogue with the market logic that dominates the Web.
