    The Price of Queer Admission

    No full text
    This chapter explores the function of queer admission in the work of Neil Bartlett, by examining texts from across his career to date: Pedagogue (1988); ‘Caesar’s Gallic Wars’ (1996); Mr Clive and Mr Page (1997); Skin Lane (2007); and ‘14 Yeomans Mews’ (2021). Understanding ‘admission’ as encapsulating, on the one hand, the articulation of desire and identity, and on the other, the entrance and initiation into queer subcultural spaces and knowledges, the chapter analyses moments of confession, pedagogy, and the dark spaces of queer desire as they occur throughout Bartlett’s work. It thereby shows how Bartlett invites readers to follow him into the queer archive in order to construct an intertextual subcultural imaginary which facilitates queer subjectivities and living otherwise

    No full text
    The Joseph story in Genesis was a subject of great interest to Syriac writers, and in this volume Bedjan presents the Syriac text (in vocalized East Syriac script) of a lengthy and highly praised poem on the subject, sometimes attributed to Ephrem, but more recently to the fifth-century author Balai. The poem consists of twelve homilies (memre) in the 7 + 7 meter, the subjects of which are: 1. On jealousy and the sale of Joseph, 2. Bringing his coat to his father, 3. Going down to Egypt and his sale to Potiphar, 4. His temptation, 5. His imprisonment, 6. His exaltation, 7. His brothers going down to Egypt, 8. Benjamin going down to Egypt, 9. Joseph revealing himself to his brothers, 10. News of Joseph reaching his father, 11. The death of Jacob, and 12. Joseph’s death. An appendix contains a poem on the translation of Joseph’s bones

    ‘What if this was actually happening?’ An Interview with Neil Bartlett

    No full text
    In this interview, conducted in London in January 2024, Neil Bartlett reflects on his life and work to date, considering the invitations to speculate that his fiction, theatre and performance have offered from his early work in the late 1970s to his current projects. Bartlett discusses his childhood experiences of church, and his relationship with his parents throughout his life, considering how these have influenced his artistic work. He talks about his changing relationship with Oscar Wilde, as well as reflecting on camp, queer archives, and his decade as the Artistic Director of the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith. He comments on the importance of touch and embodiment both in his work and in queer cultural heritage more broadly, before discussing the creative process of adaptation, including his approaches to character, voice and staging the impossible. The interview also raises questions of aging, the intergenerational transmission of queer histories and culture, and the role of art in relation to social change

    The new enfant du siècle: Joseph de Maistre as a writer

    No full text
    The essays contained within this volume were first presented at Reappraisals/Reconsidérations, the Fifth International Colloquium on Joseph de Maistre, held at Jesus College, Cambridge on 4 and 5 December 2008.Series editor-in-chief: Guy Rowlands, University of St AndrewsJoseph de Maistre's reputation as a writer is legendary. His style, unique and alive, moulded the French language anew. It sabotaged his attempts at anonymous publication and earned him, through the centuries, the praises of enemies and admirers. Yet the relationship between Maistre's thought and writing remains ill-known. This collection is the first to examine how Maistre's ideas – including his denunciation of the written word – intersected with his writing practices and personas. The essays disclose an author formed by duty and affectionate relationships, by the conventions of public combat, by an intense sense of history, and by the imperatives of Revolution.Introduction: assessing Maistre's style and rhetoric / Richard A. Lebrun -- Joseph de Maistre as pamphleteer / Richard A. Lebrun -- Joseph de Maistre, letter writer / Pierre Glaudes ; translated by Kevin Michael Erwin and Richard A. Lebrun -- Joseph de Maistre: the paradox of the writer / Benjamin Thurston -- Epilogue: the forced inhabitant of history / Carolina ArmenterosPublisher PD
