Authors: Yi-chin Shih (2018) - This paper relies on a feminist perspective on ageing to analyse Wendy Wasserstein’s plays. The Pulitzer-Prize winner Wendy Wasserstein (1950–2006) is good at dramatising the experience of women, especially their experience of ageing anxiety and ageing crises in their middle age. Their quest for identity is problematised in the paper in order to show the fluidity of identity through the passage of time and to represent human life as a continuity. The paper first studies feminist writings about ageing. It asserts that ageing is socially and culturally constructed, instead of biological in nature, and it also argues that women suffer more from the conspiracy of ageism and sexism.

Authors: Anne Freadman (2018) - The paper argues that the study of language in literature springs from the ancient discipline of philology which, far from having disappeared with the advent of modern theory, persists both in its repressions and in its techniques. It makes this argument in three parts, a polemic bearing on the temporality of philology, and two exercises each of which seeks to illustrate two of these techniques.

Authors: Hannah C. Gunderman; David Scherer; Katie Behrman (2020) - Academic libraries offer educational outreach surrounding
their technology services available to users. When using those
same technology services for internal projects, librarians can
better understand the mechanisms behind these technologies,
allowing for meaningful outreach efforts in which librarians
serve as both primary users and facilitators of use. This paper
highlights a case study of leveraging an institutional license to
Overleaf, a collaborative LaTeX editor, to rebuild documentation
on the use of KiltHub, an institutional repository. This
requires a complex mix of text, images, tables, and even videos,
and presented a tremendous challenge to format in
Microsoft Word and Google Docs. In leveraging the library’s
own technologies, the KiltHub team gained a great...

Authors: Sarah LeMire; Julie Mosbo Ballestro (2019) - In recent years, library outreach has become an increasingly
important aspect of public services work. In order to expand
capacity and engage patrons, libraries should consider expanding
their library outreach programs to include the efforts and
expertise of technical services personnel. In this article, librarians
from Texas A&M University will share how public services
librarians, cataloging experts, and preservation librarians collaborated
to provide support for a student-led textbook lending
library for student veterans. Through this collaboration, the
library was able to develop new outreach opportunities that
highlighted technical services expertise as well as lend support
to an important campus effort to improve the affordability of
college textbooks for veterans....

Authors: Tom Clark (2018) - Harold Bloom’s 1973 essay The Anxiety of Influence posits a poetics of ‘great poets’ who use and deny the prototype-poets and prototype-texts that influence them. Bloom’s understandings of poetic composition and reception offer a strikingly sympathetic account of much political discourse. This article focuses on the ‘Eulogy’ that Noel Pearson delivered at the funeral for Gough Whitlam in 2014, whose poetics were conspicuously informed by motives of emulation and of competitive distancing. That makes Pearson’s eulogy a particularly helpful case for testing the applicability of Bloom’s poetics in the political sphere. It also casts new light on the interrelationship between production and reception in the field of rhetoric – and, in so doing, on the importance of further research into...

Authors: Soumya Mohan Ghosh; Rajni Singh (2017) - Women, from time immemorial, are always considered subservient to men, and they have remained at the disposal of the head of the family, the father. They are denied their basic human rights and the ‘biological control over their bodies’ as woman is the sexual property of her family and at the same time her body is negotiated for sustaining family honour. The female body is subjected to regulation and control in order to achieve the intended docility, a process through which power is dissociated from the body. The guardianship of women’s bodies make men proud possessor of property rights as well as self-acclaimed protector from their enemies.

Authors: Johanna M. Wagner (2017) - This article examines Ruth, the cerebral protagonist of Olive Moore’s novel Spleen, and how her processes of rumination affect the ways she interacts with modern gendered ideologies. These interactions, the article argues, suggest not only a ferocious feminism, but also a kind of homoeroticism or lesbianism extant in the protagonist. In order to make these arguments, the study first analyzes the title of the book, Spleen, mapping out the term’s use in medicine and how it is associated with the gendered neurological problem of hysteria approaching the early twentieth century.

Authors: Christian Long (2013-12) - In spite of the practical importance of commuting to everyday suburban life, moments of commuting are rare in American fiction. While the experience of commuting offers chances for reflection and self-knowledge for the suburbanite’s psyche, that time for introspection comes at the cost of ignoring the built environment. The separation of home and work that the often-elided moments of commuting perpetuate generates a blindness to the suburban built environment and infrastructure.

Authors: - (2013) - One of my hobbyhorses in teaching English poetry in a career in Australian universities— although my experience is probably typical of teachers in other countries as well—has been the generally poor and possibly deteriorating quality of verse speaking among students. I have always enjoyed reading poetry aloud myself and foolishly hoped that students of English literature would feel the same, but few of my students have shown much aptitude for it and, for a surprisingly large group, including many who would become high-school teachers of English poetry, it appeared to be a frightening and humiliating experience.
