A Proximate Remove
No full textHow might queer theory transform our interpretations of medieval Japanese literature and how might this literature reorient the assumptions, priorities, and critical practices of queer theory? Through a close reading of The Tale of Genji, an eleventh-century text that depicts the lifestyles of aristocrats during the Heian period, A Proximate Remove explores this question by mapping the destabilizing aesthetic, affective, and phenomenological dimensions of experiencing intimacy and loss. The spatiotemporal fissures Reginald Jackson calls “proximate removes” suspend belief in prevailing structures. Beyond issues of sexuality, Genji queers in its reluctance to romanticize or reproduce a flawed social order. An understanding of this hesitation enhances how we engage with premodern texts and how we question contemporary disciplinary stances. “A brave and groundbreaking work. Jackson’s queer reading of The Tale of Genji— where ‘queer’ does not index a particular sexual identity or mode of erotic exchange but, rather, provides a provocative critical lens—throws into sharp relief practices of Heian sexual politics. Intimately researched and engagingly written.” CHARLOTTE EUBANKS, author of Miracles of Book and Body: Buddhist Textual Culture and Medieval Japan “A Proximate Remove offers a bold and provocative reading of the eleventh-century classic The Tale of Genji. It begins the much-needed task of exposing the ideological limitations that define the parameters of existing premodern Japanese studies.” ATSUKO UEDA, author of Language, Nation, Race: Linguistic Reform in Meiji Japan (1868–1912
John Dewey\u27s Philosophy of Education Before Democracy and Education
No full textJohn Dewey\u27s Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education, was published in 1916. It is still the best-known work in philosophy of education by an American author, and has remained in print down to the present time. Democracy and Education differs from many texts in the philosophy of education in that it was not written merely as a philosophy to be applied to education. It was made possible in large part by Dewey\u27s participation in the Laboratory School at the University of Chicago from 1896 to 1904. Dewey\u27s own experience with faculty and students at that school is the life of education for which Democracy and Education gives testimony. This is true as well for Dewey\u27s shorter works on education written during and just after his involvement with the school, including School and Society, The Child and the Curriculum, and Moral Principles in Education. What is more, he was philosophy of education editor for Paul Monroe\u27s Cyclopedia of Education and contributed a total of 118 articles to the five volumes of that work, 1911-1913. Reprinted in Dewey\u27s Collected Works, these articles make up a total of 266 pages, sufficient for a volume in their own right. Looking at the articles alongside corresponding subject matter in Democracy and Education, one sees numerous examples of verbatim and slightly revised accounts of the former in the latter. When Dewey sat down to write Democracy and Education, he was well prepared by the work at the Laboratory School, his short books that were influenced by that work, as well as his thinking, teaching, and writing on related topics such as ethics, social theory, and logic

The Historical Career of Bishop Reginald Pecock, D.D.: The Poore Scoleris Myrrour or a Case Study In Famous Obscurity
No full textReginald Pecock, D.D., thirty-second bishop of Chichester (1450–1458/59), had a meteoric career as a historic personage. He made a bright, unexpected appearance out of an obscure background. He shone brightly, first as a curiosity in his world and then as a seeming threat to it. Colliding with the power realities of his time, his career was shattered and his reputation permanently blackened by the Paul's Cross bonfire that reduced some fourteen of his books to powdery ash. This once proud figure (the obvious pun on his name was apt and widely used by his enemies) was now quite pathetic. He was required to suffer the humiliation of standing before 20,000 people to confess his errors and to assist in piling upon the fire the material expressions of his lifetime of thinking and of defending the Church. When those flames subsided, Reginald Pecock returned to the obscurity from which he had emerged, and there he died. Thus, for this the most famous lord spiritual of the Lancastrian regime; author of the most ambitious theological program of the fifteenth century in England; the first bishop of the English Church to be formally convicted of heresy–for this man we have no certain knowledge of the date of his birth or the date of his death, the place of his origin or the site of his burial.</jats:p
