  • The Best-Laid Plans Modern Conceptions of Volition and Educational Research
    Educational Researcher, 1993
    Co-Authors: Lyn Corno
    Abstract:

    Part of what it takes to succeed in academic settings is paying attention to and working toward appropriate goals. Working toward goals involves protecting the intention to accomplish goals from competing intentions and other distractions. Voluntary movement to protective action when situations demand it is central to a modern- day view of volition. This paper (a) discusses Contemporary Theory and research related to volition in education and (b) proposes agenda items for continued research.

  • Psychoanalysis and Contemporary Theory
    Feminist Media Histories, 2018
    Co-Authors: Kimberly Icreverzi
    Abstract:

    Jose Esteban Munoz's 1996 essay “Ephemera as Evidence: Introductory Notes to Queer Acts” famously closes with a polemic insisting that we think queerness through “acts, not identities.” Munoz's queer acts work to “displace the tyranny of identity,” turning away from biological, ontologized, and essentialist conceptions of identity to focus on “what a queer act does, performatively and, in turn, socially” rather “than what it might mean .”1 When I read Munoz with my undergraduate students in a media Theory and criticism course last semester, his conclusion came as a revelation to them. Intrigued but confused by Munoz's queer act, this articulation of queerness enlivened for them a possibility for coalitional politics that the individuating identities so critical to their social signification seemed to have foreclosed. This brought into relief what a hold identity has, not just on them but at this moment in time.2 I start here because this moment prompted me to reflect on how, in the same seminar just a few weeks earlier, we had read that most iconic of psychoanalytic feminist film Theory texts, Laura Mulvey's “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” (1975).3 I found myself explaining, as I often …

  • Shakespeare and Contemporary Theory (Podcast series)
    2012
    Co-Authors: Neema Parvini
    Abstract:

    December 1, 2012 In this podcast Dr Neema Parvini, author of Shakespeare’s History Plays: Rethinking Historicism and Shakespeare and Contemporary Theory: New Historicism and Cultural Materialism and Lecturer in English at the University of Surrey, interviews various Shakespeare scholars and literary theorists from around the world in a bid to gain an understanding of the current state of play in Shakespeare studies and in literary criticism more generally. Through a series of candid talks, it will tackle the biggest theoretical and practical questions that have preoccupied scholars and readers of Shakespeare alike for generations: the idea that history is driven by human beings versus the idea that it is driven by forces beyond our control, the individual versus society, nature versus nurture, and freedom versus determinism.

  • Shakespeare and Contemporary Theory
    2012
    Co-Authors: Neema Parvini
    Abstract:

    In the thirty years since the publication of Stephen Greenblatt's Renaissance Self-Fashioning overthrew traditional modes of Shakespeare criticism, New Historicism and Cultural Materialism have rapidly become the dominant modes for studying and writing about the Bard. This comprehensive guide introduces students to the key writers, texts and ideas of Contemporary Shakespeare criticism and alternatives to new historicist and cultural materialist approaches suggested by a range of dissenters including evolutionary critics, historical formalists and advocates of 'the new aestheticism', and the more politically active presentists. Shakespeare and Contemporary Theory covers such topics as: The key theoretical influences on new historicism including Michel Foucault and Louis Althusser. The major critics, from Stephen Greenblatt to Jonathan Dollimore and Alan Sinfield. Dissenting views from traditional critics and Contemporary theorists. Chapter summaries and questions for discussion throughout encourage students to critically engage with Contemporary Shakespeare Theory for themselves. The book includes a 'Who's Who' of major critics, a timeline of key publications and a glossary of essential critical terms to give students and teachers easy access to essential information.

  • National Identity in Contemporary Theory
    Political Psychology, 1996
    Co-Authors: Mary Caputi, Long Beach
    Abstract:

    This paper analyzes two psychoanalytic readings of national identity. It scrutinizes the work of Vamik Volkan and Julia Kristeva, both of whom explain the emotional needs which undergird this category. After exploring these approaches to national identity, approaches which rebuff the postmodern insistence on fluidity, the paper then considers some problems that inhere in too adamant a defense of the nation-state. It insists that, while national identity is not easily jettisoned, this category should nevertheless be tempered by equivocation. This essay offers a psychoanalytic reading of national identity. Specifically, it demonstrates how national identity aids in the process of ego formation, arguing that the cultural matrix which nationality bestows upon the individual plays a crucial role in the latter's progress toward differentiation. The article thus explores ways in which an empirical, geopolitical category-what it means to call oneself an American, a French citizen, a South African-actually factors into psychic processes that are internal and highly individualized. It behooves us to consider a psychoanalytic reading of national identity. First, the international arena is currently beset by numerous shifts in geopolitical boundaries, shifts which give rise to sometimes prolonged and tragic disputes over the meaning of this topic. One cannot help being aware, then, of the tremendous emotional weight that national identity carries, given its ability to engage deep emotions and to elicit irrational responses. Yet there exists another reason why contemplating national identity from a psychoanalytic standpoint proves timely. This arises from the fact that, as will become clear, psychoanalysis understands national identity as part of the individual's larger project of establishing moorings. National identities strive to denote stable, clearly defined sets of meanings, meanings unsullied by annoying ambiguities and ambivalences. They aim at functioning as signifiers untrammeled by the
