Beschreibungen/Notizen
  • [...]by doing so, the poet/the flâneur develops his consciousness to be able to register events, moods, and impressions instantaneously via the "snapshot techniques" similar to the camera: "[a] touch of the finger now sufficed to fix an event for an unlimited period of time. [...]many of the most totalizing assumptions made about Eliot's anti-Semitism are eclipsed by the Eliot-Kallen epistolary dialogue, which record comprehensively Eliot's sustained intellectual engagement with the role of Jews and Judaism in Western culture (Omer 322). u In this essay, I make a case for Eliot's development of an historically enriched poetics of urban representation and textual flânerie, this time in "Burbank with a Baedeker: Bleistein with a Cigar" with Europe figured as Venice set in the changing matrix of cultural landscape and tourist/flaneur geographies of the urban space. [...]Venice, which is situated on the coastal plain, is seen as an image of ruins, and can be viewed as surrendering herself and her cultural treasure (which is the booty of her marine empire) to either the laws of time and tides, or that of ethical, material degeneration (CPP 4 1 ; Sherry 1 00- 1 0 1 ). [...]the sign masks the absence of a basic reality, it plays at being an appearance, and it is of the order of sorcery.
