The Art of Distraction: The Anti-Novel’s Resistance to Interpretation
No full textRoland Barthes coined the term “the death of the author” in his 1967 essay of the same name, essentially arguing that authorial intent should have no place in the analysis of a text, that the author dies when his work is published. Barthes’s theory remains a popular component of literary theory courses, and is often presented alongside aspects of reader response theory, largely outlined by Wolfgang Iser, which relies heavily on reader interaction with the text. These theories become further complicated when speaking of the anti-novel, specifically those in which the real-world author has created in-text authors in order to tell their story. Vladimir Nabokov’s Pale Fire, Italo Calvino’s If On a Winter’s Night a Traveler, and Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves are all told through various created-authors, thus serving to distance the real-world authors from their texts, or to self-employ death of the author. When analyzing these selected anti-novels through these various lenses, one must sort through several layers of authorship in order to reach the true author, a challenging task which many might avoid; these texts also present as parodies of the academic genre, which inherently resists further interpretation as such an act would be to literally interpret the satirized interpretation. Thus, these texts are left as the perfect examples of Susan Sontag’s argument “against interpretation”-- which is not to say that they are uninterpretable, but rather that they actively resist being interpreted at the authorial level
Japanese Women’s Beauty Through the Ages and the Plastic Surgery Stereotype
No full textThis paper focuses on and challenge the Western world’s stereotypical view of Japanese women and plastic surgery. “Do Japanese women get plastic surgery simply to emulate western/European beauty, or do they do it to emulate their Japanese idols and enhance their natural Asian features?” Beauty is something that constantly changes with the times, and Japan’s history of beauty ideals is no different. From using oshiroi in the Nara period and ohaguro in the Heian period, to the Taisho period’s chic and rebellious parallel of the West’s 1920’s and 1930’s fashion, to today’s modern beauty and practices such as plastic surgery and gyaru/kawaii fashion culture, Japan has certainly caught the world’s attention
