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

The political economy of James Burnham: An alternate approach to realism
No full textAmerican political scientist James Burnham (1905-1987) authored two books that can be viewed as contributions to realism: The Managerial Revolution (1941) and The Machiavellians: Defenders of Freedom (1943), considered herein as the possible foundation of a class-based approach to realism, serving as an adjunct to state-based realist schools. Burnham's thesis in The Managerial Revolution was that the old capitalist class is being supplanted, not by the proletariat, but by a class of highly-educated, mid-level professionals-- "the managers". Burnham's predecessors, Bruno Rizzi, Jan Machajski, and Adolf A. Berle and Gardiner C. Means, and Burnham's influence on George Orwell and Alvin W. Gouldner are examined at length. The Machiavellians analyzed the role of power elites in history, concluding that Western democracy constitutes the best hope for controlling the ruling minority. Also discussed are the "Elitist" philosophers who inspired Burnham (Machiavelli, Gaetano Mosca, Vilfredo Pareto, Robert Michels and Georges Sorel).Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 37-03, page: 8080.Chair: Christopher R.

Effects of compression socks on muscle recovery in Masters runners
No full textIntroduction: The number of Masters athletes (40 y.o.) is increasing yet few studies exist on this growing population. Compression socks are a popular recovery modality in endurance sports. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of compression socks on 1) perception of muscle fatigue and soreness and 2) functional recovery in Masters runners. It was hypothesized that compression socks will 1) lower perceived muscle fatigue and soreness, and 2) have no effect on functional recovery when worn for 48 hrs after exercise compared to placebo socks. Methods: 12 Masters runners with 18mo run training participated (age: 49.7+8.3 y.o.). During Visit 1, participants underwent ankle and calf circumferences, ankle range of motion (ROM) measures, completed fatigue/soreness surveys, and performed a timed 1-mile run. Then, participants completed a fatiguing protocol (6 sets, weighted calf raises to failure) and were assigned to wear either compression or placebo socks for 48 hrs. Visit 2 (48 hrs post-test) consisted of circumference/ROM measures, surveys, and 1-mile run. During Visits 3-4, participants completed the same protocols as Visit 1-2 and were assigned the sock type not previously given. Results: Right calf circumference decreased compared to the pre-test measurement when compression was worn, but not placebo (p0.05). All other measures of functional recovery, fatigue, and soreness did not reach significance. Conclusions: There was not enough evidence to support the use of compression socks as an effective form of recovery in Masters runners
