Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
An exploration of the outsider's role in selected works by Joseph Conrad, Malcolm Lowry, V.S. Naipaul.
No full textPhDThis thesis explores ways in which the outsider questions rather than confirms
dominant cultural values whilst avoiding the crudity of overt politicisation. I argue
that the outsider's preference for an observer's stance is not so much an act which
denies responsibility to the world of his day, but rather a means of reassessing its
priorities.
In Section One, I discuss Conrad's role as an outsider in the age of Empires. I
demonstrate the ways in which Conrad employs narrators, frequently using strategies
of irony which can be and have been read in very different ways. I argue that Conrad
uses irony as a tool for condemnation rather than condonement of imperialist practice,
if not its ideology.
In Section Two, I discuss Lowry as an emigre from England (so contrasting
him with Conrad, the immigrant from Europe), and examine his dissenting voice
which opposes bourgeois prejudice against the working class, a totalising ideology
like Fascism, and a Western rationalism which sees too rigid a distinction between
sanity and madness. I demonstrate how Lowry as an outsider reacts to the age of
twentieth century World Wars.
In Section Three, I discuss Naipaul's role as an outsider in the age of
decolonisation, when bogus liberals and false redeemers fail to rebuild the newly
independent post-colonial states. As in Conrad's case, I show how a failure to read
Naipaul's ironic tone of voice has given rise to radically divergent views as to what he
is about. I also link Conrad and Naipaul through their cultural negotiation between the
'centre' and its peripheries.
By looking at these three writers in chronological order and offering a
comparative perspective on their work, I highlight the outsider's disturbing, yet
illuminating role within a historical context. I also draw attention to creative tensions
between artistic concerns and a serious political purpose. I assess the outsider as
observer and man of conscience rather than as a` mere onlooker. I conclude that the
outsider also fulfils a social obligation by promoting critical awareness on the reader's
side by means of his defamiliarising perspective

Five minutes with Timothy Gowers: “academics can publish journals of the highest quality without a commercial entity”
No full textFields Medal-winning Cambridge mathematician Sir Timothy Gowers and a team of colleagues have recently launched a new editor-owned Open Access (OA) journal for mathematics. Discrete Analysis is an arXiv overlay journal, which means articles are submitted and hosted via the preprint server arXiv first. The journal coordinates peer-review and publishes via Scholastica with no cost to reader or author. Gowers reflects here on his vision for the future of editor-owned journals

The Literary Multilingualism of Malcolm Lowry, G.V. Desani, and James Joyce
No full textDespite the global turn in literary studies, modern English literature continues to be read through a lens of monolingualism, through which multilingualism is perceived as experimental or exceptional, though it has been and continues to be the norm in most societies throughout the world. Although multilingualism has garnered critical interest over the past decade, written multilingual discourse remains under-researched compared to its spoken counterpart, and the rich pre-history of contemporary multilingual literature indebted to modernism is rarely acknowledged. In "The Literary Multilingualism of Malcolm Lowry, G.V. Desani, and James Joyce," I argue that to read modernist literature globally, we must also read it multilingually. Situated within debates on global modernisms, world literature, and translation studies, the dissertation centers on two premises: first, that linguistic diversity serves as a fundamental formal feature of modern Anglophone literature; and second, that this multilingual form reveals the hybrid underpinnings of the English language. Using linguistic scholarship on multilingualism as a methodological framework for my close textual analysis, I demonstrate the relationship between spoken and written multilingualism for Lowry, Desani, and Joyce-modernists whose work goes beyond English as standardized at its ideological center and represents the varieties of languages, dialects, and registers spoken, written, and embodied in colonial peripheries. "The Literary Multilingualism of Malcolm Lowry, G.V. Desani, and James Joyce" thus raises significant questions about how modernists conceive of the world of languages around them, how they deal with the chaos of modernity, and how they articulate their political and social anxieties through the multiple linguistic resources available to them. By asking these questions of a literary period marked by the desire to "make it new" in the face of modernity, my study contributes to our understanding of how these writers also make it multilingual
