Polyphony and the anxiety of influence in the fiction of Henry James
No full textJames's fiction, especially in the Middle Phase, centres
on the figure of the artist and is characterized by, the two
interrelated aspects which previous criticism has largely
overlooked: the Bakhtinian 'polyphonic' -creation of
'author-thinkers'; and the conflict between ephebes and
precursors, for which Harold-Bloom's concept of 'the-anxiety of
influence' is the most illuminating model. Polyphony is the
narrative mode, and influence is the intra-artistic, theme.
These, as the Introduction to the thesis makes clear, are
rehearsed in James's inaugural novel, Roderick Hudson. Rowland
Mallet is an author-thinker, and his failure is caused by
authorial limitations. His monologism -is impaired by his
mistaking empathy for the authorial sympathy. Likewise,
Hudson's failure does not arise from a mercurial temperament,
but from a polyphonic shortcoming: not possessing the power of
fiction to contain the fiction of power in, his mentor. And the
relationships among the three artists - Gloriani, Hudson and
Singleton - perfectly exemplify the Bloomian-theme. It is these
two concepts, polyphony and influence, which are the major
preoccupation in the Middle Phase; as, the works chosen
demonstrate. These are a novella, a novel, and a number of
short stories all of which have been unjustifiably neglected.
Chapter One, on The Aspern Papers, argues that Tina Bordereau,
far from being, the artless victim seen by many critics,
actually challenges and defeats the narrator by the very form
of her narrative. Her 'realist' discourse undermines his
language of 'romance', and shows up its internal unstability.
Chapter Two is an extensive study of the critical reception of
The Tragic Muse. The most common areas of critical attention
have been its contemporary topicality, its relation to previous
novels on similar themes, and the possible genealogy of Gabriel
Nash. Those have all missed the core of the work. - Chapter Three
demonstrates how polyphony and the anxiety of influence make
the novel what it really is. Influence arises from the
juxtaposition of, and the wrestling between, artistic ephebes
and their precursors (Nick and Nash,, Miriam and Madame Carre).
The dialogic quality defined by Bakhtin is crucial to the
proper, and even-handed, characterization of all, the conflicts
in the novel. And since most of James's tales in the eighties
and nineties -are about 'masters - and acolytes, the anxiety of
influence remains central. Chapter Four is a study of 'The
Author of Beltraffiol' and 'The Lesson of the Master'. Again the
characters' manipulations are a crucial focus in a way that
G6rard Genette's terminology helps to illuminate. The fact that
the ephebe is the author-thinker emphasizes the inextricability
of the Bakhtinian and the Bloomian in James. Just as
polyphony offers a different focus for explicating the poetics
of James's fiction; so the ephebal conflict provides the basis
for a fresh perception of James's own artistic struggle

NJBankers 2017-18 Economic Survey: Final Anaylsis and Report of Survey Results
No full textUnder the direction of James Hughes, the Bloustein School surveyed all 92 member institutions of the New Jersey Bankers Association and received a 73 percent response rate.
This year’s survey results indicate a soaring confidence in the US economy. Nearly 85 percent of respondents indicated the national economy’s health as “good,” and a record 10 percent rated it as “excellent.” For the first time in the survey’s history, no one rated it as “poor.” While somewhat more muted than sentiments toward the national economy, confidence in the NJ economy is nonetheless surging. 42 percent of respondents rated New Jersey’s economic health as “good” in 2018, compared to 15 percent in 2016. Still, 2018 marks the eighth consecutive year in which no respondent has rated New Jersey’s economy as “excellent.”Survey conducted for New Jersey Bankers Association by Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Field period: February 26-April 20, 2018. Published May, 2018
STYLISTIC CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE /S/ PHONEME IN SPANISH: AN INVESTIGATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF AUDIENCE
No full textThe weakening of the /s/ phoneme in Spanish is one of the most studied phenomena in Hispanic linguistics in recent decades, with a considerable body of literature describing variation in /s/ across the dialects of modern Spanish. The present study expands that body of literature with a case study of Representative Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL), a bilingual, U.S.-born Congressman of Puerto Rican heritage. Given his visibility as a public figure on Spanish-language media in different geographical areas, Gutiérrez engages in a significant degree of intraspeaker variation with respect to weakening when addressing different audiences.
This study examines Gutiérrez’s /s/-weakening according to three factors: intended audience, rate of speech, and following segment. While weakening is well-attested in the literature, many existing accounts rely on language-internal factors drawn from the fields of phonetics, phonology, and morphology. The addition of the language-external factor of intended audience into the model invites a reframing of the analysis to include the sociolinguistic concepts of style and audience design, reflecting the shifting paradigm of “third wave” sociolinguistics and its focus on intraspeaker variation.
The data for this study are drawn from two Spanish-language interviews with Gutiérrez: one with U.S. television and one with Puerto Rican radio. These interviews were divided into intonation units and tokens of syllable- and word-final /s/ were extracted and coded for three independent variables: intended audience, rate of speech, and following segment. /s/-weakening was coded as a binary dependent variable.
Subsequently, a logistic regression was performed on the data using the aforementioned variables. An omnibus F test for the model as a whole revealed a significant prediction of weakening by the combination of the predictors as entered, χ2(5, N=325) = 65.142, p < .001, Nagelkerke R2=.243. Further, the logistic regression revealed that while intended audience and rate of speech significantly contributed to weakening, following segment did not contribute significantly in the model as entered. These results highlight the influence of style as a potential complicating factor in the ability of other factors to account for weakening and raises questions for further inquiry about the balance of language-internal and language-external factors in accounting for weakening
