Deep Talk: Reading African-American Literary Names

Deep Talk: Reading African-American Literary Names Review

Deep Talk: Reading African-American Literary Names Feature

The process of naming is a transformative act that inherently imparts meaning, whether it be through the conscious use of a familiar historical or allegorical appellation or through the creation of a new word. Critics have often noted the importance of names and naming in African-American literature, but Debra Walker King's Deep Talk is the first methodological discussion of the process. In this original study, the author seeks out the discourses existing beneath the primary narratives of these literary texts by interpreting the significance of certain character names.

King explores what she calls the "metatext" of names, an interpretive realm where these chosen words offer up symbolic, metaphoric, and other meanings, often simultaneously. Literary names can thus revise and comment upon the surface action of a novel by giving voice to unspoken themes and events, a process known as "deep talk." Drawing on the work of Kristeva, Bakhtin, and Henry Louis Gates Jr., the author explains the interpretive guidelines necessary to read "deep talk" in African-American texts. She applies these guidelines to texts by Ralph Ellison, Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, and Alice Walker, among others.

Perhaps most important, King reveals how the process of naming became a form of empowerment for African Americans, a way of both reclaiming black identity and resisting conventions of white society. Black men and women whose ancestors were stripped of their identity through the Middle Passage and during slavery embraced the incantatory power of names and have long used this power to defend themselves from the effects of racism, sexism, and classism.

Rock-Forming Minerals, Vol. 4B: Framework Silicates Feature

This major revision takes place 40 years after publication of the first edition, and deals with feldspathoids, silica minerals and zeolites. The text has been completely re-written and very much expanded, incorporating the advances in knowledge and understanding arising from the new and improved techniques for the study of minerals that have developed.

Each chapter is headed by a brief tabulation of mineral data and sketches showing optical orientation, and ends with full references. Diagrams of crystal structures are presented and followed by discussion of the structural features, making use of data from various spectroscopic as well as diffraction methods. The chemical sections include many analyses from which structural formulae have been calculated.

This book is a standard reference work for professionals in mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry, as well as having a wide appeal as a reference work for postgraduate research students and research workers in these and related fields.

Citizen, Invert, Queer: Lesbianism and War in Early Twentieth-Century Britain Feature

In late nineteenth-century England, “mannish” women were considered socially deviant but not homosexual. A half-century later, such masculinity equaled lesbianism in the public imagination. How did this shift occur? Citizen, Invert, Queer illustrates that the equation of female masculinity with female homosexuality is a relatively recent phenomenon, a result of changes in national and racial as well as sexual discourses in early twentieth-century public culture.

EXERCISES IN ELEMENTARY COUNTERPOINT INTRODUCTION. Music, theoretically considered, consists altogethe'( of LINES OF TONE. It more nearly resembles a picture, or an architectural drawing. than any other art-creation; the difference being that in the drawing the lines are visible and constant, while in music they are audible and ir motion. The separate tones are the points through which the lines arc drawn; and the impression which is intended, and which is apprehended by the intelligent listener, is not that of single tones, but of continuous Lines of tones, describing movel'nents, curves and angles, rising, falling. poising, - directly analogous to the linear impressions conveyed by a picture or drawing. The popular name for such a tone-line is "Melody." As several tone-lines are usually being traced simultaneously, it follows that several corresponding melodies may, and generaJly do, appear together. The term Melody, however, is applied specifically to the principa
