    "Can other people notice our affects more easily than we do? In Spaces of Feeling, Marta Figlerowicz examines modernist novels and poems that treat this possibility as electrifying, but also deeply disturbing. Their characters and lyric speakers are undone, Figlerowicz posits, by the realization that they depend on others to solve their inward affective conundrums--and that, to these other people, their feelings often do not seem mysterious at all. Spaces of Feeling features close readings of works by Virginia Woolf, James Baldwin, John Ashbery, Ralph Ellison, Marcel Proust, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sylvia Plath, and Wallace Stevens. Figlerowicz points out that these poets and novelists often place their protagonists in domestic spaces--such as bedrooms, living rooms, and basements--in which their cognitive dependence on other characters inhabiting these spaces becomes clear. Figlerowicz highlights the diversity of aesthetic and sociopolitical contexts in which these affective dependencies become central to these authors' representations of selfhood. By setting these novels and poems in conversation with the work of contemporary theorists, she illuminates pressing and unanswered questions about subjectivity"-- Threshold : Wallace Stevens and Sylvia Plath -- Living room : Virginia Woolf and F.

    "This edited collection, of literary theory and criticism, proves that the Decadence movement had a longer-lasting influence on literature and aesthetics than has traditionally been accepted. Decadent principles and aesthetics continued to exert a compelling influence on the next generation of writers, from high Modernists (Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, and D.H. Lawrence) to late Decadents (Ronald Firbank and the Sitwells) to writers of the Harlem Renaissance (Bruce Nugent and Carl Van Vechten). This collection offers a multifaceted critical revision of how Modernism evolved out of, and coexisted with, the Decadent movement, which Modernism was often keen to discredit and supersede"-- Dainty malice: Ada Leverson and post-Victorian decadent feminism / Kristin Mahoney -- The ugly things of Salome / Ellen Crowell -- Decadent paths and percolations after 1895 / Nick Freeman -- "A poetess of no mean order": Margaret Sackville, women's poetry, and the legacy of aestheticism / Joseph Bristow -- The queer drift of Firbank / Ellis Hanson -- Burning the candle at both ends: Edna St. Vincent Millay's decadence / Sarah Parker -- Woolf and Joyce, Barnes and Beckett: the legacy of decadence in major modernist novels / Vincent Sherry -- "The woodland whose depths and whose heights were Pan's": Swinburne and Lawrence, decadence and modernism / Howard J.

    Introduction -- Loy's dialogue with Lacerba and Italian feminism -- The objects of poetry and the economics of art -- Mina Loy's dialogic and "narratable" selves: art as collaboration -- Eccentricity, affiliation, and distance in Loy's corpus -- Conclusion. This volume argues that Loy's corpus of works produces a kind of "critical" modernism: the author makes the case that Loy's corpus exhibits a skeptical, detached attitude towards its own simultaneous celebration and criticism of modernist aesthetic paradigms. The author provides a new, in-depth investigation of specific aspects of the Florentine and Italian context in particular, which have so far been neglected by scholarship. The volume presents new insights into Loy's feminism and argues that her texts respond to the rewriting of Otto Weininger's then widely influential theories in the magazine Lacerba. It shows that Loy's texts present dialogic, "narratable", "eccentric" selves and subjectivities, which create uncomfortable critical spaces within modernism as a broad movement

  4. The quiet avant-garde

    "The blending of people and living machines is a central element in the futurist "reconstruction of the universe." However, prior to the futurist break, a group of early-twentieth-century poets, later dubbed crepuscolari (crepusculars), had already begun an attack against the dominant cultural system, using their poetry as the locus in which useless little objects clashed with the traditional poetry of human greatness and stylistic perfection. The Quiet Avant-Garde draws from a number of twenty-first-century theories--vital materialism, object-oriented ontology, and environmental humanities--as well as Bruno Latour's criticism of modernity to illustrate how the crepuscular movement sabotaged the modern mindset and launched the counter-discourse of the Italian avant-garde by blurring the line dividing people from "things." This liminal poetics, at the crossroad of tradition, modernism, and the avant-garde, acted as the initiator of the ethical and environmental transition from a universe subjected to humans to human-thing co-agency. This book proposes a contemporary reading of Italian twentieth-century movements and offers a foothold for scholars outside Italian studies to access authors who are still unexplored in North American literature."-- Cover; Copyright; Title; Contents; Acknowledgments; List of Abbreviations; Introduction: Poetry at the Twilight; 1 A Matter of Things: Modernity, Modernism, Avant-Garde; 2 The Avant-Garde Is Made of Useless Objects; 3 Being a Living Thing: Towards a New Notion of Body; 4 Love and the Grand Solidarity of Sound; 5 Avant-Garde Immersive Onto-Cognition; Conclusion; Notes; Bibliography; Index
