It is easy to see that Bello's endorsement of the narrative method in history isn't purely defensive. security and injures me by virtue of this very state in which he coexists with me. The novel 'wakens profound meditation and healthy criticisms';22 it will teach people about their history, about their barely formulated customs, and about ideas and feelings that have been modified by still unsung political and social events. Unity is always effected by means of brutality; the union of northern France with the Midi was the result of massacres and terror lasting for the best part of a century. My editor Jane Armstrong was alive to the many possibilities of this volume and her opinion has been invaluable. 18-19. Since Fuentes' essay we have been used to thinking of these revisions of history as describing circles in which original tragedies repeat themselves as farce. We should not be displeased if others imitate us in this. This is a paraphrase of the first sentence in Leslie Fielder's Love and Death in the American Novel (New York: Stein & Day, revised edn 1966), p. 23. Whereas theorists such as Edward Said and Martin Bernal have tended to view 'Orientalism' or 'Indo-Germanism' as a virtually all-pervasive quality of mid-nineteenth-century scholarship, the Enlightenment interpretation of Vico that was sustained by thinkers such as Carlo Cattaneo raised a high barrier between his thought and that of the Romantics. . This was the philosophical foundation in Germany for a much broader social movement described by Carlos Jose Mariategui citing Francesco de Sanctis: 'In the history of the West, the flowering of national literatures coincided with the political affirmation of the nation. The terms seem interchangeable despite the fact that a distinction had been brewing in England for decades before Scott wrote. No element of coercion is allowed to intrude; all results from the 'common consent' (1891, p. 281) of Manhattan's volunteers and others like them. Many of the novels often attempt to assemble the fragments of a national life and give them a final shape. Whether or not all the terms sit easily together, the oppositional model dictated that conflicts aligned themselves on one side or the other. the dead . She has better things to do; let us simply ask her to tell the truth. Nationalism aims at . (Of course, the narrative's energy derives from the fact that the hero has no father until the very end.) 6 Quoted in Sorel, op. For in competitions for civic excellence, when one nation wins, they all win. For example, Jose Carlos The national longing for form 49 Mariategui, a publicist and organizer of Peru's Quechua-speaking minority in the 1920s, outlined the claims of fiction on national thought, saying simply that "The nation . It is the source of everything. 2 'Reflections on American "Left" literary criticism', in The World, the Text, the Critic (London: Faber, 1982), p. 169.

In Barthes' terms, classical poetry is 'a speech which is made more socially acceptable by virtue of the very conspicuousness of its conventions'. But there is more to it than that; as always, the socially specific causes lie behind a facade of impersonal technology. ibid., p. 65. 81 C. Levi-Strauss, 'What ethnology owes to Durkheim', Structural Anthropology, vol. If one pursues the kinship metaphor this is rather mind-boggling. Successive generations may deny literary resemblances to the point that denial itself constitutes a resemblance. With a puzzling insensitivity to the emotional response to empire, Tom Nairn in The Break-up of Britain was an early and eloquent proponent of these views. Bakhtin, op. . Rivers have led races on; mountains have brought them to a halt. So Bolingbroke's patriotism stands outside humanism, cultural nationalism, and enlightened rationality. Given the inevitable regressions of Vaille's attempts to define his object, it is clear that from our perspective his project is inconsistent if the post precedes history, it cannot be an object of history. 31 The distinction, though, misses one of the most salient points of the allegory to which Miller refers; the wilderness was woman, the object of man's desire and thus the source of his guilt as a conqueror. The postcolonial narcissists the later Patrick White, for instance have a double focus: on the one hand they describe peripheral societies conceived of as being either extraordinarily empty or extraordinarily full and alive; and, on the other, they foreground themselves and their own life stories as vehicles for representation. In the absence of final criteria for such a judgement, the nation narrates the founding moment and produces effects of legitimacy through repetition. But it should also be understood as the institutional uses of fiction in nationalist movements themselves. The climatological argument had been used by Du Bos, Montesquieu, and Winckelmann to suggest that northern Europe was unlikely to produce great painters; and it was resisted fiercely in England by James Barry, Prince Hoare, and John Opie, among others, on the grounds that if the imagination in moist climates becomes too waterlogged to function properly, England could never have produced a Shakespeare or a Milton.14 The issue of language they regarded as entirely irrelevant. I teach you to eat, to dress, to behave and above all not to belch in restaurants, trains, buses, cinemas, schools. 308, 323). ibid., p. 25. q("f", arguments) 2, p. xi. If a claim for the Englishness of English art could be made, it would have to be in the terms of this discourse; and the draft of such a claim was sketched out, I want now to argue, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, at a time when, for specific historical reasons, there was an urgent revival of interest I use the word with all its implications of partiality in the discourse of the customary. 1448. cit. But the novelty is evident from Alejo Carpentier's preface-manifesto to The Kingdom of This World (1949), where he complained that 'magic realism' was everywhere in Latin American history except in its literature.7 And what would account for the tragicomedy of self-defeating repetition in One Hundred Years of Solitude, or for the frustration and shame in The Death of Artemio Cruz, if not the epic assumptions about Latin American history? 1, 1789-1923 (Sydney: Angus & Robertson, 1974), p. xix. 161, Sept. 1984, p. 50. 21 There he observed that it was foolish to insist on writing 'scientific' as opposed to narrative history in the Americas. They reject the network of social obligations and duties which informed the official attitudes of the landed gentry. The 'childhood' syndrome thus begins to look like a case of wilful infantilism, a false innocence. .' He sent it to me, shortly before he died of a long illness that he had kept private. 1688 is vitally important for him because then the nation agreed on a decentred political system. 'The beginnings of the Revolution were assuredly admirable', Renan observed in 1871, 'and if it had limited itself to convoking the Estates General, to making them annual, the truth would have been entirely on its side'.37 It was almost as if Renan, as Boulainvilliers before him, had the annual aristocratic assemblies of the Franks in mind here. 'Noise' here can be understood in a quasi-cybemetic sense; what Montesquieu condemns in Richelieu's politics is its interference with the clarity of the message at the second level (the public as meta-addressee) this 'noise' is converted into information, according to a logic laid out by Michel Serres in 'The origin of language', Oxford Literary Review, vol. They cross in the heart of each individual. p. 349, n. 1), and especially the comment, 'In an endless chain of representations, desire carries death through the detour of writing' (tr. As an instance of the best that could and did happen, this is benign enough. It is becoming a commonplace that the institution of literature works to nationalist ends. Their persistent questions remain to remind us, in some form or measure, of what must be true for the rest of us too: 'When did we become "a people"? Thus, a recurrent 60 Timothy Brennan motif of contemporary fiction is the bridge that exists between imaginative literature and other forms of cultural information and communication: the place of literature within what C. Wright Mills called 'the cultural apparatus'. See N. Machiavelli, Discorso o dialogo intomo alia nostra lingua [1515]. This argument is a conventional one in the criticism of art, and is derived, indeed, from a conventional defence of the moral character of the arts as a whole, as compared with the sterner character of moral philosophy. The rhetoric of this poem and others like it will probably remain more appealing, to those uncomfortable with the politics of expansive nationalism, than that of the earlier poetry. Walter Scott, 'Essay on romance', Essays on Chivalry Romance and the Drama (London: Frederick Warne, 1887), pp. They had their beginnings and they will end. 2 Raymond Williams, The Year 2000 (New York: Pantheon, 1983). 2767. 3 In practice, multiculturalism celebrates post-Second World War migration (white, professional, European) and distinguishes this new Establishment from more recent (and less acceptable) Asian immigrants whose arrival has sparked off a new grass-roots version of the racist White Australia policy. As long as a person has two arms and two legs, Whitman believes that he or she is capable of all and anything. Of Grammatology (Baltimore and London: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1976), pp. Through a slippage in the sense of the word 'law', positive laws are assimilated to the laws of nature, via the notion of 'natural law'. . W.D. . How is it that Switzerland, which has three languages, two religions, and three or four races, is a nation, when Tuscany, which is so homogeneous, is not one? 49 The starting point of the unfinished essay on Shakespeare is a defence of Shakespeare's practice of mixing tragic and comic scenes and characters within the same work. 23 Almost invisibly, freedom moves from reason and politics to self and language subjective and sociable, rather than rational or bookish, language. 42130. 45 If the love matches in Amalia, binding the rival cities of Tucuman and Buenos Aires, and in Martin Riuas, where northern mining interests marry commerce in the capital, are an indication of historical accuracy because they coincide with data on regional alliances, other novels may similarly help to explain not only the project but also the process of bourgeois consolidation through literal and figurative marriage. 70 Lacroix, op. On what grounds can this be legitimated, more particularly when the language used is patently either not English, or, if English, then filtered through a previous and other culture or language? Marmol's ideal was evidently extra-literary as well, from the evidence of letters. My argument requires me to indicate one last thread in this story of the relations between certain literary and nationalist zones. 10 Pedro Henriquez Ureha, Literary Currents in Hispanic America, 'The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures, 19401941' (Cambridge, Mass. Consider the great men of the Renaissance; they were neither French, nor Italian, nor German. 24 The citizen sends himself the law, and in this sending names himself as citizen: this structure is that of autonomy in general, and implies a concomitant autonomination. This does not reproduce emerging state totality, nor is it, like Fielding's plot, a sign of the imposition of the natural on the social order. Indeed, later complaints against Scott's being just entertaining and the comparative neglect of Austen are part of a Victorian forgetting of the modernist, aesthetic impulse which surprisingly given conventional accounts of these matters is a byproduct of Burkean counter-revolution. It's stating fadsthat Quaker >( -l.'SK IT W1SHI.Y Quaker State Corporation 1944 t ^s State is refined from ! For those of us who survived the Boom, it evidently could not have been the end of history. . The soil furnishes the substratum, the field of struggle and of labour; man furnishes the soul. The various possible readings of the expression 'future perfect' are the object of work in progress. 52 ibid., p. 345. The temporal logic of iteration is an incredibly useful tool, particularly when examining the proliferation of violence as an aesthetic in 19th century mass-marketed literature (both in Britain and the United States). The Comte de Boulainvilliers and the Abbe Dubos It is often believed that European scholars first became deeply interested in the medieval period in the early nineteenth century, and the enormous popularity of the writings of Chateaubriand and of Madame de Stael is invoked as proof of this.12 Yet this is a misconception, for it disregards both the pioneering archival work of men such as Leibniz and Muratori, early in the eighteenth century, and the larger theoretical formulations of Vico, Montesquieu, and many others. But now the ideal is the abstract of every local form in the universe. This potential is most apparent in the war poems, where the socialsomatic horror that composes the terribleness of war is repeatedly faced, but then simplified out into a triumph of social spirit, and a psychic-erotic bodily response. The composite quality of the novel cannot be understood only ethnically or regionally. The secret is never absolutely secret, but announces itself as secret, and this can be the sign of the skill of a 'great minister'. . 51 ibid., p. 349. Spain had finally given up her fight in the Americas; but the US assumes that the Americas are home. One leaves the heady air that one breathes in the vast field of humanity in order to enclose oneself in a conventicle with one's compatriots. The invitation to differ or qualify thus seems to be deployed to insinuate a posture of authority. 107, 100. 1 cit., p. 9. A nation is a spiritual principle, the outcome of the profound complications of history; it is a What is a nation? After the long civil wars, progress and prosperity depended on national consolidation which needed reconciliation, not exclusion, of differences. .

Renan, 'Philosophic de Phistoire contemporaine', Oeuvres Completes, vol. . The barbarian invasions were, appearances notwithstanding, a further step along this same path. The magic realists in a much stronger move no longer ground their messages in the authority of their persons, though they continue to trade in experiences which bear traces of feeling and memory. We also know, henceforth, that this scene is itself mythical': Jean-Luc Nancy, La Communaute desoeuvree (Paris: Galilee, 1986), pp. It is a delicate thing that I propose to do here, somewhat akin to vivisection; I am going to treat the living much as one ordinarily treats the dead. It is the project of Nation and Narration to explore the Janus-faced ambivalence of language itself in the construction of the Janus-faced discourse of the nation. The importance of what is at stake can be judged from the large amount of discussion this 'confrontation' has already received: see, most interestingly, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, 'Ou en etions-nous?' Notes 1 E. Gellner, 'Nationalism and cohesion in complex societies', in Culture, Identity and Politics (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1987), p. 8. ; Larzer Ziff, Literary Democracy: The Declaration of Cultural Independence in America (London and New York: Penguin, 1981), pp. On this North American terrain, the 'nationalistic' idea of oppression from afar appeared, although it was not exactly the 'foreign' oppression that would become so common in the period after the Second World War. 55 ibid., p. 163. The millenarian promise of communal happiness enrages the local landowners after a series of raiding operations on the neighboring haciendas and the seizure of land. 3 In other words, the novel brought together the 'high' and the 'low' within a national framework not fortuitously, but for specific national reasons. '49 First Day at School . 85 See Ruskin's famous chapter, 'The nature of Gothic'. She is also the author of One Master for Another: Populism as Patriarchal Rhetoric in Dominican Novels (1983). Others have emphasized the creative side of nation-forming, suggesting the cultural importance of what has often been treated as a dry, rancorous political fact: 'Nationalism is not the awakening of nations to self-consciousness; it invents nations where they do not exist. 12, no. the national flag, . The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature, ed. 34 Meyra Jehlin argues that, in the terms of our contemporary criticism, the difference between romance and novel becomes even more blurred, because today's theories of the novel tend to distinguish it from nineteenth-century American works in general. And well before the end of the seventh address, the analogy with law, and the customary discourse in which it is conducted, turn out to have a momentum of their own, to lead the argument in directions they themselves define, and either to threaten Reynolds's belief in the compatibility of the customary and the civic discourse, or to allow him, hesitantly, and with no clear sign that he recognizes what is happening, to move beyond its orbit. . cit., p. 439. . 'France' became quite legitimately the name of a country to which only a virtually imperceptible minority of Franks had come. A red-haired Scottish phrenologist, Gall is comically portrayed in the book as a libertarian anarchist and believer in scientific progress, who has fled imprisonment in Spain, writes political dispatches for a French journal, argues that Satan rather than God is the true rebellious prince of freedom, and who sets out for Canudos to find the living proof of his ideals. Which serve to separate and which do not? 2 B. Doyle, "The hidden history of English studies', in P. Widdowson (ed. 80 P.

Originally, religion had to do with the very existence of the social group, which was itself an extension of the family. 2 (New York: International General, 1983), p. 57. Jehlen will further suggest that the core of America's stable and transcendent ethics is the bourgeois family which has 'inspired the strident masculinity, even the celibacy of its heroes'. Hamlet does not die in this way either, though in his case the postal effect does work, on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Unlike romantic heroes, who know or learn that woman is not the irreconcilable other, but a part of oneself, Cofiho's hero finds no common ground with them, nor does he fear being seduced by the local vamp. In connecting Literature Nationalism's other? See 'Populism', in Worsley, op. In any case, such writing is not usually received as literature which, for the moment, might be described as a textuality which is visibly more worked over than other forms of writing and whose implicit opposite is the apparent 'disorder' of speech.67 If we accept the suggestion that immigrant writing and, by extension, nonAnglo-Celtic writing, signifies only within the formations of sociology 114 Sneja Gunew and history, then, paradoxically its value lies here with speech rather than writing. A patriot is neither an 'enthusiast' concerned with his or her inner life and relation to God, nor an urbanite interested in money and civility. pubID: '3211', adServer: 'googletag', bidTimeout: 4e3, params: { aps_privacy: '1YN' } 28 Sermons, and Other Remains of Robert Lowth, D.

Thus the word 'country' here tends to oscillate between naming the sum of estates in the realm and the object of sentiments self-consciously borrowed from Roman formulations of patria. if(cookiePair[0] === name) { With the same cosmic pessimism as his earlier treatment of failed republicanism in Conversation in the Cathedral (1969), which dealt with the sadism and corruption of the Odria dictatorship in his native Peru as seen through the conversations of two characters in a seedy Lima bar, The War of the End of the World is in a sense a companion piece to that earlier novel. 9 G. Spivak, In Other Worlds (London: Methuen, 1987), p. 251. 75 That this is a danger is argued by Michelakakis, op. . The 'Ironic Discourse', and its more interesting preface, were written in 1791 as a response to Reynolds's reading of Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France. In their opening text to the collective volume Rejouer le politique (Paris: Galilee, 136 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Geoffrey Bennington 1981), Lacoue-Labarthe and Nancy radicalize this 'uselessness' of attacking politics directly into an impossibility (p. 23): this guarantees, beyond any slogan, that writing on the political is itself necessarily political. . . The union of England, Ireland, and Scotland was likewise a dynastic fact. Moses too is an object of admiration for Rousseau, essentially because of the durability of his legislation: it is not easy to see how the principles of Mosaic law could be reconciled with an ideal of autonomy, but a detour via Freud would rapidly confirm the importance of all the problems raised here. 'If, asks Pevsner, 'the rhythms of the language differ' in one nation and another 'so much and so tellingly', is there not every reason to assume that the same will occur in art?15 The question is a rhetorical one, but it can hardly have been an English 'distrust of rhetoric' that prevented Barry, an Irish Catholic, from replying 'of course'. Or, it is a giddiness that comes from reaching a premature end of history and finding that the word end ceases to be synonymous with purpose, a looking back without being able to distinguish any process to the movement. Novel was the domestic genre of surface detail and intricate personal relationships, while romance was the Irresistible romance 83 genre of boldly symbolic events. Think instead of the uncountable masses for whom U N agencies have been created, or refugees without urbanity, with only ration cards and agency numbers. 19 Aus den Memoiren des Herren von Schnabelwopski in Werke, ed. 10 See, for example, Louise Pound, 'Walt Whitman and Italian music', American Mercury, no. Corsica had in fact been named within the Social Contract as the only country in Europe still capable of legislation,29 and the text of the Project duly lays down demands of autonomy and self-sufficiency: With whatever aim the Corsican nation wants to organise itself politically [se policer] the first thing it must do is to give itself all the consistency it can have. ** Indeed, as Gellner has pointed out, his account of the rise to power of the plebs is Tribes within nations 33 informed by the very confusion between ancient and modern history which he had himself castigated, as is his manifest opposition to agrarian communism (a doctrine which, curiously enough, had also been justified by reference to Tacitus's Germania)}2 Fustel gradually shifted his attention from ancient history to that of the institutions of early France, some of his lectures at the University of Strasbourg in the 1860s being devoted to the subject. Each of these groupings exist, or have existed, and there would be the direst of consequences if one were to confuse any one of them with any other. To write poetry means that one is staking a claim to the literary and hence to public cultural participation. In an act of implicit resistance, Fielding and Smollett offer representations and narratives which both cover more diverse social range than their forbears and present images of more static social and individual drives. Even Gregory of Tours lacked any first-hand knowledge of such documents. document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(stylesheet); Ethnographic considerations have therefore played no part in the constitution of modern nations. In a sense, its setting in Latin America, which (unlike Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean) achieved formal independence in the nineteenth century, captures with extraordinary clarity the ongoing The national longing for form 65 link between the era of European nation-forming and the quite different process of contemporary decolonization, since the novel, published in 1981, can only be read backwards through those well-known events. The Frankish Empire so rapidly extended its sway that, for a period, it re-established the unity of the west, but it 10 Ernest Renan was irreparably shattered around the middle of the ninth century; the partition of Verdun 4 outlined divisions which were in principle immutable and, from then on, France, Germany, England, Italy, and Spain made their way, by often circuitous paths and through a thousand and one vicissitudes, to their full national existence, such as we see it blossoming today. Fustel de Coulanges, Durkheim, and Renan: The Third Republic, the nation, and the origins of French sociology Emile Durkheim was 12 years old at the time of the Franco-Prussian War. 36, 39, 40. Therefore, in the spirit of our novelists, we may develop further options, or at least imagine satisfying public and private relationships. 70ff.) That culture was unable, of its own impetus, to produce great literary art'.55 Eagleton attributes these impoverishments to England's inwardness. Kohn, op. . 86 See Momigliano, op. 9 This (apparent?) But in Benjamin it leads to a more fundamental conflict between communal and individual experience something which we saw above was contained contradictorily in nationalist ideology from the start: What differentiates the novel from all other forms of prose literature the fairy tale, the legend, even the novella is that it neither comes from oral tradition nor goes into it.

[OJn the one hand, [the developing world] has to root itself in the soil of its past, forge a national spirit, and unfurl this spiritual and cultural revendication before the colonialists's personality. For the congruity of these statements about language with Johnson's political views of the 1770s, see J. Barrell, English Literature in History, 1730-1780: An Equal, Wide Survey (London: Hutchinson, 1983), pp. Leslie Fiedler points out that only several years before he wrote his great romances, Cooper was training himself as a writer by imitating, not the manly historical romancer Walter Scott, but that English gentlewoman and mistress of the domestic psychological novel, Ms Jane Austen. He concedes also Hazlitt's point, that the characteristic reticence of the English forbids them the free play of expression enjoyed by other European nations, but then suggests that it is precisely in the difficulty of representing faces in which the marks of character are nearly invisible that English artists excel.8 And so on. 78 E. Durkheim, The Division of Labour in Society, trans. "ObfuscatedMarketplaceId": "A1PQBFHBHS6YH1" Whitman failed to realize that forms of life, whether human or animal, 'have the instinct of turning right away from some matter, and of blissfully ignoring the bulk of most matter, and of turning towards only some certain bits of specially selected matter'.

Berndt, 'Aboriginal Australia: literature in an oral tradition', in Paolucci and Dobrez, op. Established at first through violence but subsequently preserved through [common] interest, this great agglomeration of 14 Ernest Renan cities and provinces, wholly different from each other, dealt the gravest of blows to the idea of race. According to Eric Hobsbawm, for example, 'The evidence is overwhelming that at this stage [in the nineteenth century] the crux of nationalist movements was not so much state independence as such, but rather the construction of "viable" states [with the intention of creating] the internal conditions (e.g. 35767 (reprinted in Lyotard, Le Postmodeme explique, pp. See Myra Jehlen, 'New World epics: the novel and the middle-class in America', Salmagundi, a Quarterly of the Humanities and Social Sciences, no. Great articles discussing many sides of the problematic relation between colonialism/post-colonialism. By romance I mean a cross between our contemporary use of the word as a love story and a nineteenth century use that distinguished romance as more boldly allegorical than the novel.16 Latin American romances are inevitably stories of starcrossed lovers who represent particular regions, races, parties, or economic interests which should naturally come together. It's a place that gets you down. The founding of a new Roman Empire or of a new Carolingian empire would now be impossible. Canonized literature operates elsewhere, even in Tories like Fielding, Swift, and Pope. 6073, reprinted in Against the Grain (London: Verso, 1986), pp. that "surpasses the snowline"'. . That is, can't it be said that the recoiling from nationalism is also partly due to the challenge of the rising national movements of the developing world? Most notably, Renan, in La Reforme. Prudent people write such letters in code. But on the other hand, and this is my point, not just any narrative filler would have done. But de Quincy is not writing an ode in prose to the spirit of England. The nature of the new code is unambiguous. The reader is warned, first of all, that any use of the organic analogy should be regarded as strictly metaphorical, for 'the members of Tribes within nations 37 human societies are bound one to the other, not by a material contact, but by ideal ties'.65 This observation would seem to align Durkheim with a 'voluntarist' rather than a 'determinist' view of the nation, and therefore with the perspective adopted by Renan in 1882, in the lecture at the Sorbonne, to which Durkheim in fact refers in a note.66 Subsequently, these ideal ties would be, in Durkheim's relativist neoKantianism, the collective representations upon which social solidarity was held to depend. The crisis of values of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century was clearly anticipated in Renan, for he celebrated, against socialism, the solidarities that ancient symbolisms and legends can assure.43 Fustel de Coulanges, Durkheim, Renan: The Third Republic and the origins of French sociology Fustel de Coulanges, Renan, and Germanism In 1864, a remarkable study of classical antiquity appeared in Strasbourg, The Ancient City, A Study of the Religion, Laws and Institutions of Greece and Rome. 4 Other examples of the dissenting view could (and will) be given. This assumption, much criticized by Romagnosi, in his contributions to the Milanese journal, II Conciliatore,23 and by Cattaneo, in his review in II Politecnico of Thierry's book on the Norman Conquest, 24 led to a consolidation of the concept of race, so that the mid-century physiological 'ethnography' of de Gobineau had the ground prepared for it in advance by certain tendencies within Romantic historiography. His most recent books are The Politics of American English, 1776-1850 (1986) and Wordsworth's Historical Imagination: The Poetry of Displacement (1987). What these writings have in common with Defoe, Richardson, and Fielding's novels is the production of narratives, moral cruxes, a linguistic decorum, and character types which cover the social field of the post-1688 world. Given this paucity of information, it is a little surprising to discover just how powerfully these tribes have, time and time again, captured the imagination of European thinkers. Various critics have noted that Whitman never refers to his poetry as writing, as a material, textual object; it is always a voice, a chant, a yawp, an incantation.10 Everything possible is done to create by means which always of course remain graphic a sense of the incarnate presence of the poet's voice and body.

My sealed tomb travels in my dreams.57 In part the ambiguities surrounding the use of the term 'multiculturalism' centre around who is considered to be included. For a succinct definition of this Gramscian concept, see Chantal Mouffe (ed. How do we confront the affect of iteration in a political climate that is primarily based on the accrual of material goods? It is a situation, as the Indo-English author Salman Rushdie points out, in which English, 'no longer an English language, now grows from many roots; and those whom it once colonized are carving out large territories within the language for themselves'.10 The polycultural forces in domestic English life have given weight to the claims of the novelists and essayists abroad who speak more articulately and in larger crowds about neocolonialism. Populism, therefore, has an important narrative career in Hispano America, and a long afterlife even when the political culture changes its name. As Guizot remarked in a letter to Fauriel in 1820, 'Monsieur Thierry would seem to wish to do for the communes what Boulainvilliers and Montlosier had done for the nobility'.29 Indeed, Thierry's reading of Sismondi's History of the Italian Republics encouraged him in the belief that all that had been said of the Italian communes of the eleventh and twelfth centuries applied to France also. Instead they often wrote from a 'nativist' or reformist opposition in order to sway opinion about, for example, race relations or economic policy.

More than a ghost of an invisible hand is at work here as local benevolences produce universal order; there are particular and determining discursive absences. The English talk and talk and talk, endlessly trying to reason things out, playing with words really but they're expressing attitudes. Indeed, the Germanism of Renan, reliant as it is upon the figure of the nomad and the barbaric invader, celebrates what, to a jurisconsult of the early eighteenth century such as Vico or, indeed, Maffei41 would have been feudal residues, and turns his back upon reason itself, in the name of rite, symbol, mystery, and brute force.

I shall quote what is perhaps the simplest of them: 126 Geoffrey Bennington It is said that M. de Louvois, wanting to organise an expedition in Flanders, sent a packet to the intendant, forbidding him to open it before receiving orders to do so. For instance, the most interesting accounts of the national idea, whether they come from the Tory Right, the Liberal high ground, or the New Left, seem to concur on the ambivalent tension that defines the 'society' of the nation. If the ambivalent figure of the nation is a problem of its transitional history, its conceptual indeterminacy, its wavering between vocabularies, then what effect does this have on narratives and discourses that signify a sense of 'nationness': the Heimlich pleasures of the hearth, the unheimlich terror of the space or race of the Other; the comfort of social belonging, the hidden injuries of class; the customs of taste, the powers of political affiliation; the sense of social order, the sensibility of sexuality; the blindness of bureaucracy, the strait insight of institutions; the quality of justice, the common sense of injustice; the langue of the law and the parole of the people.

If doubts arise regarding its frontiers, consult the populations in the areas under dispute. The tensions exist, of course, and they provide much of the interest in reading what otherwise might be an oppressively standard canon. The tension can be immediately pointed out and linked to the problem at hand, by placing the title of Book 30 ({Theory of Feudal Laws .

As Thierry observed, a wholly different kind of document was eventually produced, one which unleashed all of his present bitterness upon the past.20 What was to prove influential in Montlosier's polemic, although Thierry defended what Montlosier had condemned, was the claim that the history of France could be understood as a struggle of two enemy peoples on the same soil, a Frankish nobility against a Gallo-Roman third estate.21 Thierry, a scrupulous and brilliant historian, therefore employed Montlosier's notion of a conquest (the enduring relation between conquerors and conquered), to research into the infancy of the Third Estate.
