Phantom Formations
No full textMarc Redfield maintains that the literary genre of the Bildungsroman brings into sharp focus the contradictions of aesthetics, and also that aesthetics exemplifies what is called ideology. He combines a wide-ranging account of the history and theory of aesthetics with close readings of novels by Goethe, George Eliot, and Gustave Flaubert. For Redfield, these fictions of character formation demonstrate the paradoxical relation between aesthetics and literature: the notion of the Bildungsroman may be expanded to apply to any text that can be figured as a subject producing itself in history, which is to say any text whatsoever. At the same time, the category may be contracted to include only a handful of novels, (or even none at all), a paradox that has led critics to denigrate the Bildungsroman as a phantom genre

Phantom Formations: Aesthetic Ideology and the Bildungsroman
No full textMarc Redfield has written an ambitious, challenging and closely argued book with a scope extending even beyond what its title may suggest. While focusing in the German tradition of the Bildungsroman, or novel of education, it engages the whole significance of aesthetics in Western culture since the Enlightenment and, through this in turn, the nature of the modem literary academy and the recent function of literary theory within it. The argument draws deftly on a formidable knowledge of relevant debates and contexts.
The term Bildungsroman has suffered a peculiar bifurcation. Outside specialist Germanist circles it has become to mean, as for example in Franco Moretti\u27s The Way of the World, any novel involving the moral and emotional development of a main character. This makes it almost uselessly general. At the same time, the small familiar list of German novels to which it otherwise refers has itself been repeatedly adduced to question whether they truly constitute a substantial genre, or a common project, at all. Marc Redfield argues from this the \u27Phantom\u27 nature of the genre and, through that in turn, of the formative project of Bildung on which the acceptance of the genre normally relies. Indeed, he sees the German Bildungsroman, classically instantiated in Goethe\u27s Wilhem Meister novels, as revealing the ideological loading and internal difficulties of the whole ideal of aesthetic education which has effectively underwritten institutional literary study in Europe and America ever since. The nub of the matter is the aspiration to disinterested aesthetic judgement and appreciation which was given its most eloquent expression in Friedrich Schiller\u27s On the Aesthetic Education of Man in a Series of Letters (1796). In the British tradition this ideal of disinterestedness had its most influential purveyor in Matthew Arnold

Romanticism and the Insistence of the Aesthetic
No full textThis volume of Romantic Circles Praxis Series includes an editor's introduction by Forest Pyle, essays by Ian Balfour, David Ferris, Karen Swann, with a response by Marc Redfield.
In spite of the recent prevalence of historical and sociological concerns in Romantic scholarship, the aesthetic insists: indeed, its very mode is one of insistence. The essays by Balfour, Ferris, and Swann collected for this issue address the question of "Romanticism and the Insistence of the Aesthetic" by turning in various forms of Romantic versions of the relationship between the aesthetic and power, whether as a form of violence or a force of possibility. In readings that address Kant (Balfour, Ferris) and Shelley (Balfour, Swann, Pyle) and that include discussions of Keats, Wordsworth, and Schiller, these essaysx demonstrate that to read is not to take refuge from but to subject onself to the adventures of power and force that are inextricable from the aesthetic. Redfield's response to these essays stresses their emphasis on the predicament of reading--the ways in which they "exemplify the diverse legacy of deconstruction"--and argues for the importance of their intervention in Romantic Studies.</p
UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)
No full textThis draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive
databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate
to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators
