The Modernist Defense of Poetry in Prose and Verse

/pdf/the-modernist-defense-of-poetry-in-prose-and-verse-1s457ykrev.pdf

In the "pre-history of Ireland," an early section of Finnegans Wake, Joyce compiles a Hiberno-Punic mythography through which he rewrites the rape of Phoenician Europa as told by Ovid. Joyce believed that the Irish descended from Phoenician merchants, a conviction that predisposed him to the early works of the Italian historian Guglielmo Ferrero. Ferrero's discussion of trading habits and sexual mores of the ancient Mediterranean population provided Joyce with historical insight upon which the author would later elaborate in the reconstruction of a nebulous Irish past. The key to glossing the "annals passage" is Joyce's historic parallel between the Roman colonization of Phoenicia and the English colonization of Ireland. The cultural politics of this poetic history aims at the separation of Ireland from the Anglo-Saxon colonizer and its placement within the context of a future United States of Europe.

Waking Europa: Joyce, Ferrero and the Metamorphosis of Irish History

In this paper I argue that Leonardo Sciascia inscribes himself into a Siculo-Arab literary history, an inscription articulated through the historiographic metafiction of the novel Il Consiglio d’Egitto, the reception of the Sicilian poet of Arabic tongue Ibn Ḥamdīs, and the rewriting of a Giufa folktale. Influenced by the nineteenth-century Orientalist Michele Amari, Sciascia fashions Sicily’s Muslim past into a precursor of a Mediterranean modernity. Sciascia’s paradoxical vision of Arab Sicily is suspended between a fundamental historicism and an Orientalist essentialism, positing a Sicilian character that is both unchanging and the product of the island’s history of foreign invasions. The fictional investigations of Sicily’s Arab history provide Sciascia with an answer to the question of how one can be Sicilian, an answer that entails the responsibility of the historian, and the need to uncover a past that can guide us into an uncertain future.

From Ibn Ḥamdīs to Giufà: Leonardo Sciascia and the Writing of a Siculo-Arab Literary History

T.S. Eliot’s 1948 essay, Notes toward the Definition of Culture , gives voice to modernist anxieties about culture in its regional, national, and international settings. Local affiliations, a regionally inflected patriotism, and European cosmopolitanism compose Eliot’s heterogeneous and porous cultures of modernism. The text exemplifies the intellectual history of the early twentieth century, as recent scholarly contributions suggest. In Regional Modernisms , editors Neal Alexander and James Moran explore local allegiances and regional loyalties in the British context. The essays in the collection shift the attention away from the cosmopolitan perspectives of metropolitan centers to local concerns, showing how this regionalism did not necessarily mean a retreat to a provincial outlook. Eric Aronoff’s Composing Cultures contends that the notion of culture was central to American modernism, and that an interdisciplinary debate surrounding the definition of culture informed the emergence of American Studies as an academic field of inquiry. Modernism and Melancholia by Sanja Bahun is a comparative study of Andrei Bely, Franz Kafka, and Virginia Woolf that describes melancholia as a sort of transnational culture of modernism. Examining a multilingual canon of writers, Bahun argues that modernist fiction engages in what she calls “countermourning,” an aesthetic performance that resists the therapeutic settlement of Freud’s concept of mourning. This body of scholarship studies the ideological complexities surrounding conceptions of culture, illustrating the aesthetic and political strategies of literary modernism.
