"John Berryman at Midcentury: Annotating Ezra Pound and Teaching Modernism" published in Modernism/Modernity.

My article "John Berryman at Midcentury: Annotating Ezra Pound and Teaching Modernism" has been published in Modernism/Modernity and is available on Project Muse. It begins with Berryman's annotations in his personal copies of Pound's poetry while preparing an edition of Pound's Selected Poems in order to examine the ways that his approach to teaching modernism in Humanities courses at the University of Minnesota from mid-fifties through the mid-sixties was Poundian in its comprehensiveness. This article is part of a longer chapter in my book, Annotating Modernism: Marginalia and Pedagogy from Virginia Woolf to the Confessional Poets (Ashgate, 2015), and it is the first treatment of Berryman's annotating strategies alongside his teaching materials. This article considers books in Berryman's personal library and his teaching notes at Minnesota as well as the Classicist Van Meter Ames's transcriptions of Berryman's modern poetry lectures at the University of Cincinnati in 1952, which are part of John Haffenden's Papers at Columbia University.

Digital Humanities and the Harlem Renaissance Roundtable at the Modernist Studies Association Conference 

6/16/2014

0 Comments

 
Please join us for a roundtable addressing the Digital Humanities and the Harlem Renaissance organized by Suzanne Churchill for the Modernist Studies Association Conference this November in Pittsburgh. The participants include Bryan Carter, Lucy Mensah, David Chinitz, Jon-Christian Suggs, Miriam Thaggert, and myself. I will be discussing the digital resources that the students designed in my "African American Literature: From the Harlem Renaissance to the Digital Present" course at Georgia Tech. 

My presentation will introduce tools and applications that we used to explore texts in class and the ways that students' projects engaged them. Some students, for instance, used mapping technologies to reassess the period. A paradox of using mapping technologies is that despite the ease of quickly being able to locate places, we can only see limited views. During the twenties, the aura and allure of Harlem was also imprecise. As students and scholars, we seek in images and phrases to understand the imprecision of ideas. At times, the students' maps provided a means of organizing information and a visual landscape. When we later read Pearl Cleage's novel of the Obama Campaign set in Atlanta, Till You Hear From Me (2010), the female protagonist refers to Abernathy Avenue of Atlanta's West End as a version of Harlem's 125th Street. Without having mapped Harlem, the students might have understood this allusion, but having done so, they were better able to understand the significance of history at street level and the ability of locations to shape our cultural imagination.

Suzanne Bellamy Cites "Mapping Jacob's Room" in Presentation About Edith Rickert, "Pioneer Digital Scholar."

In her presentation "The CODEBREAKER: Edith Rickert, Virginia Woolf and Modernist Intrigues," the Australian artist and scholar Suzanne Bellamy argues that Rickert's research at the University of Chicago in the 1930s presents an early version of twenty-first century digital approaches to Woolf's fiction. In the clip below from Bellamy's recorded presentation for the Annual Conference on Virginia Woolf in the beginning of June, Bellamy cites the Mapping Jacob's Room project from my English 1102 "Digital Woolf" course at Georgia Tech. You can learn more about Bellamy's art and work here.
