...Harper, the way the practice of literary criticism relates to contemporary culture takes on a role parallel to that played by the minority writing he discusses in Framing the Margins. Just as the discovery of fragmentation in an early work such as The Invisible Man for a reassessment of what constitutes "postmodernism" in contemporary fiction, so can all literary texts more generally be used to call our wider cultural assumptions into question...
...star-chamber U.S.O.C. and put it into the slow-as-molasses legal system with all its constitutional safeguards. This is a rare moment when the interests of the low-road entertainment mongers and the sticklers for due process coincide. Otherwise, the ending would have to play out in parallel universes -- Kerrigan at Lillehammer, on Saturday Night Live and in Reebok ads; Harding on Inside Edition, the carpet of the .S.O.C. and in No Excuses jeans ads. Worse yet, the finale could be relegated to a made-for-cable movie...
...artistic process Frankethaler undertakes with each print. The show demonstrates that process by placing working proofs of a print next to the finished product. Informative labelling explains the relationship between the stages, showing how the proof led Frankethaler to the final piece. The exhibit also illustrates the parallel between the artist's prints and her paintings, giving the viewer an idea of Frankenthaler's career as a whole and showing how her work in different media is inspired by the same themes and techniques...
However, Peretz' account of the sins of Lowell in forbidding money raising by the Museum is meant to be placed in parallel with the alleged behavior of Lawrence Stager in forbidding Carney Gavin from raising money for the Museum. This parallelism suggests to an literate reader that Stager, like Lowell was moved by anti-Semitic impulses. This is libel. I am told that Peretz has denied that he meant to brand Stager an anti-Semite--a charge which if believed could end Stager's career as archaeologist in Israel. I must confess that I regard his demurral, if correctly reported...
...them on the museum's central tasks in the University, attempts to raise funds should not be sought primarily or wholly for peripheral projects, binding the Museum to continue its lop-sided program indefinitely into the future. Peretz' claim that Stager unilaterally barred all fund raising (in his claimed parallel with Lowell) is untrue...
