Download or read book Wit s End written by Sean Zwagerman and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2010-04-25 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Wit’s End, Sean Zwagerman offers an original perspective on women’s use of humor as a performative strategy as seen in works of twentieth-century American literature. He argues that women whose direct, explicit performative speech has been traditionally denied, or not taken seriously, have often turned to humor as a means of communicating with men. The book examines both the potential and limits of women’s humor as a rhetorical strategy in the writings of James Thurber, Zora Neale Hurston, Dorothy Parker, Edward Albee, Louise Erdrich, and others. For Zwagerman, these texts “talk back” to important arguments in humor studies and speech-act theory. He deconstructs the use of humor in select passages by employing the theories of J. L. Austin, John Searle, Jacques Derrida, Shoshana Felman, J. Hillis Miller, and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. Zwagerman offers arguments both for and against these approaches while advancing new thinking on humor as the “end”—both the goal and limit—of performative strategy, and as a means of expressing a full range of serious purposes. Zwagerman contends that women’s humor is not solely a subversive act, but instead it should be viewed in the total speech situation through context, motives, and intended audience. Not strictly a transgressive influence, women’s humor is seen as both a social corrective and a reinforcement of established ideologies. Humor has become an epistemology, an “attitude” or slant on one’s relation to society. Zwagerman seeks to broaden the scope of performativity theory beyond the logical pragmatism of deconstruction and looks to the use of humor in literature as a deliberate stylization of experiences found in real-world social structures, and as a tool for change.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines the ways in which writing and cinema can be studied in relation to each other.

Specific topics that the essays address also include: the kinds of writing produced for the cinema industry, advertising, film adaptations of written texts and theatre plays from nineteenth century 'classic' novels to recent cyberpunk science fiction such as Blade Runner and Starship Troopers. The essays deal with existing areas of debate, like questions of authorship and audience, and also break new ground, for example in proposing approaches to the study of writing on the cinema screen. The book includes a select bibliography, and a documents section gives details of a range of films for further study.

Download or read book The Oral Character of Southern Literature written by Clay Morton and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literary distinctiveness of the American South has been an object of much scholarly discussion. Although oratory and folklore are often cited as influences on the unique character of Southern literature, no scholar in the field has yet explored orality as a possibly deterministic factor in the shaping of the region's literary and cultural identity. This study makes use of the extensive research available on the differences between oral and literate thought and expression in order to argue that practically every distinguishing factor of Southern literature may be traced the region's oral orientation. To this end, empirical findings on identifiably oral linguistic strategies, narrative structures, and epistemologies are fruitfully synthesized with analyses of works by Southern authors, including James Weldon Johnson, Eudira Welty, William Gilmore Simms, William Faulkner, Donald Davidson, and Zora Neale Hurston. These discussions provide not only a new theory of Southern exceptionalism, but also a new theoretical framework for reading Southern texts.
