Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

A full-length exploration of the relation between poetics and queer theory, Queer Poetics presents a theoretical framework that can illuminate not only the ways we read the specific poetic innovations of the six major writers in this study, but also the ways we read literary modernism itself, by placing both in a different social and epistemological context--that of "queer" existence.

"Yunte Huang has produced a fascinating study of what he calls 'textual travelling, ' which is to say, the transformation of poetic texts (in this case Chinese ones) at the hands of American scholars, editors, translators, and especially poets. . . . This brave and highly original study is sure to raise controversy."--Marjorie Perloff, author of "Wittgenstein's Ladder"

Embracing the East: White Women and American Orientalism (Chap. Four "Amy Lowell's 'Asian' Poetry")
by Mari Yoshihara. 242 pgs.

Book

Read/Write Review

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

As exemplified by Madame Butterfly, East-West relations have often been expressed as the relations between the masculine, dominant West and the feminine, submissive East. Yet, this binary model does not account for the important role of white women in the construction of Orientalism. Mari Yoshihara's study examines a wide range of white women who were attracted to Japan and China in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and shows how, through their engagement with Asia, these women found new forms of expression, power, and freedom that were often denied to them in other realms of their lives in America. She demonstrates how white women's attraction to Asia shaped and was shaped by a complex mix of exoticism for the foreign, admiration for the refined, desire for power and control, and love and compassion for the people of Asia. Through concrete historical narratives and careful textual analysis, she examines the ideological context for America's changing discourse about Asia and interrogates the power and appeal--as well as the problems and limitations--of American Orientalism for white women's explorations of their identities. Combining the analysis of race and gender in the United States and the study of U.S.-Asian relations, Yoshihara's work represents the transnational direction of scholarship in American Studies and U.S. history. In addition, this interdisciplinary work brings together diverse materials and approaches, including cultural history, material culture, visual arts, performance studies, and literary analysis.
