Image via <em>Slate<\/em>\/Ryan Lee Gallery<\/p><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Eve Sedgwick, the groundbreaking queer theorist, died in 2009. Since then, her husband, Hal, has maintained her apartment\u2014they lived in separate ones\u2014as an archive, amassing all her work, her belongings, and even her cat. Jane Hsu spoke with\u00a0him: \u201c \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/books\/page-turner\/between-us-a-queer-theorists-devoted-husband-and-enduring-legacy\" target=\"_blank\">The idea of having one love in your life was not an aspiration for us<\/a>,\u2019 Hal said, when I ask him what it was like to be the primary love object of a queer theorist who wrote so prolifically about the complexities of desire and relationships. Later, Hal referenced D. W. Winnicott\u2019s concept of the \u2018holding environment,\u2019 in which the mother creates a safe space for the child that allows the child to then look out into the world, to think about something else beyond the mother\u2019s care. Eve used this idea in her work. Hal offered it as a way of thinking about what they both did for one another.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Do you know a sad professor of English? Sure you do\u2014they\u2019re everywhere. And their sadness is justified: \u201cSocialization to the discipline,\u201d Lisa Ruddick explains, \u201chas left them with unaccountable feelings of confusion, inhibition and loss \u2026 The progressive fervor of the humanities, while it reenergized inquiry in the 1980s and has since inspired countless valid lines of inquiry, masks a second-order complex that is all about the thrill of destruction \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/thepointmag.com\/2015\/criticism\/when-nothing-is-cool\" target=\"_blank\">These days nothing in English is \u2018cool\u2019 in the way that high theory was in the 1980s and 1990s<\/a>. On the other hand, you could say that what is cool now is, simply, nothing. Decades of antihumanist one-upmanship have left the profession with a fascination for shaking the value out of what seems human, alive, and whole \u2026 We will find scholars using theory\u2014or simply attitude\u2014to burn through whatever is small, tender, and worthy of protection and cultivation. Academic cool is a cast of mind that disdains interpersonal kindness, I-thou connection, and the line separating the self from the outer world and the engulfing collective.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In the eighties, Sandy Skoglund was struck by a disparity she saw throughout New York, where Wall Street and crime rates were soaring side by side. She began to photograph the city, and now <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/blogs\/behold\/2015\/12\/08\/sandy_skoglund_creates_collages_using_photos_of_new_york_in_her_series_true.html\" target=\"_blank\">she\u2019s made a series of collages, \u201cTrue Fiction,\u201d that try to capture the aura of that decade with stark contrasts and bright colors<\/a>. \u201cI never saw a particular implied narrative other than astonishment, which was a mirror really of my own experience of the contradictions of New York City and living in the 1980s \u2026 I hope they have a kind of transcendent quality that does allow a kind of open interpretation and not just an ahistorical document.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Whither the black detective novel? In 1950, Hughes Allison wrote the first black detective story, in <em>Ellery Queen\u2019s Mystery Magazine<\/em>. And there was John Ball\u2019s <em>In the Heat of the Night<\/em>, from 1965, with its iconic Mister Tibbs, who\u2019s more a construction of blackness than a realization of it. And after him? \u201cIt would take another two and a half decades after\u00a0<em>In the Heat of the Night<\/em>\u00a0for the next iconic black detective character to emerge, Easy Rawlins, from Walter Mosley\u2019s <em>Devil in a Blue Dress<\/em>\u00a0(1990). Mosley didn\u2019t just live in the skin of Rawlins, a post-World War II private eye, he breathed his entire experience of America, contemporary and the past, into the character \u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/newrepublic.com\/article\/124468\/case-disappearing-black-detective-novel\" target=\"_blank\">For a moment in the 1990s, after Walter Mosley and\u00a0<em>Devil in a Blue Dress<\/em>, crime fiction made room for more black writers<\/a>. But then writers like\u00a0Eleanor Taylor Bland, Penny Mickelbury, Paula Woods, Charlotte Carter, and others perhaps fell away in the relentless turnover of the publishing industry: canceled contracts, merged companies, and shifting editorial priorities. In recent years, few black crime-genre writers have reached Mosley\u2019s level of popularity.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Next year, the SAT\u2019s verbal section will do away with a lot of treasured vocabulary: <em>recalcitrant<\/em>, <em>accretion<\/em>, <em>grandiloquent<\/em>, <em>plenitude<\/em>, <em>diaphonous<\/em>. There\u2019s only one way to see these words off\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theworldin.com\/article\/10654\/elegy-lost-verbiage?fsrc=scn\/tw\/te\/bl\/ed\/elegyforlostverbiage\" target=\"_blank\">to use them all in one short story<\/a>. Ann Wroe gave it a try: \u201cJoe\u2019s hour had come.\u00a0<em>Impetuous, redoubtable\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>sanguine<\/em>\u00a0(though fully <em>cognizant\u00a0<\/em>of looming disaster), he seized the damsel\u2019s hand. Exit was\u00a0<em>exigent. <\/em>She was not\u00a0<em>apathetic<\/em>, or\u00a0<em>obdurate<\/em>, or\u00a0<em>truculent<\/em>, but surprisingly\u00a0<em>amenable<\/em>. Together they raced down the nearest\u00a0<em>conduit<\/em>\u00a0to the street. Behind them, a <em>maelstrom<\/em>\u00a0of flame became a\u00a0<em>conflagration. Ubiquitous\u00a0<\/em>gray ash poured from the sky. But as they paused, at last, to recover their breath, all that seemed quite <em>tangential<\/em>.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eve Sedgwick, the groundbreaking queer theorist, died in 2009.
