So basically I work in the library and I often am looking through serials/periodicals that we are shipping off to be bound. One day I kept noticing stuff that related to this class so I turned it into a game and wrote each thing down. All but one of these is from just 2 or so hours of looking through journals. Yes, this is my job. I get paid minimum wage.

“Scar Narrative-Sore Narrative: The Liquidation of Realism in D’Annunzio’s Giovanni Episcopo and L’Innocente” by Elena Lombandi

From Summery: “. . . this article argues that D’Annunzio’s ‘battle realism’ is fought between two texts, Giovanni Episcopo and L’Innocente, closely composed in 1891, and that it can best be brought to light by comparing the two novels against a psychoanalytical ghost text common to both in which two different events take place: castration in Giovanni Episcopo and fetishism (as argued by Barbara Spackman) in L’Innocente.”

“From Genocide to Justice: Women’s Bodies as a Legal Writing Pad” by Debra D. Bergoffen

“The decision to commit the rapes in public signaled that the Bosnian Serbs intended to inscribe their power on the bodies of Muslim women and through the inscription to shape the ways in which Muslim women and men experience themselves”(27).

“So long as the gender codes of patriarchy mark a raped woman’s body as an affront to the honor of her community and as a sign of the failure of its men, so long as the raped woman’s body caries the threat of social pollution, so long as raping a woman effectively removers her and her future children from the fabric of communal life, rape will be available as a weapon of war” (25).
