Indiana University Comparative Literature Program

| College of Arts and
Sciences Alumni Association | Fall 1999 |
The Comparative Literature Program at Indiana University is poised for an important role in the future of the field in the 21st century. After a distinguished 50-year history, the department has an accomplished faculty, as well as excellent students at both graduate and undergraduate levels. The faculty, while somewhat smaller than it was about 10 years ago, is well-focused on a rich variety of comparative research topics, and the professors are all dedicated teachers. I have only to refer our readers to the rest of the newsletter for information about the vitality of the faculty in the Comparative Literature Program at century's end. To prepare for its future, the program has recently organized itself to heighten its strengths and to reach out to the rest of the university. Now an interdisciplinary department, the Comparative Literature Program operates with a central group of budgeted faculty, who in turn bring a rich and diverse group of specialists into the comparative literature family of scholars. The new department will have three principal research areas: 1) literature across cultures, 2) interdisciplinary approaches to European traditions, and 3) comparative arts studies. In addition, committees on translation and theory will consist of members contributing from across the whole unit. As we take stock of ourselves at our 50-year benchmark, we should also point out that the Comparative Literature Program has produced a long list of important doctoral degrees and a diverse and talented group of alumni at all levels. We learned a great deal about our graduates during our recent survey, and we were delighted with the information we received. Some of our graduates are professors, others are creative writers, lawyers, journalists, publicists, and artists. Still others are working in a wide variety of professions, using their education in many different ways. All indications are that the comparatist is a person with curiosity and daring, a true individualist who knows how to think with an independent and creative spirit. We salute our alumni, and we are as proud of their accomplishments as we are of our own.
David M. Hertz, Chair
This year's annual Department of Comparative Literature reception was held in the afternoon on

New beginnings for two retiring faculty
The retirement of Professor Ernest Bernhardt-Kabisch, joint professor of comparative literature and English, and of Professor Matei Calinescu, former department chair, brought an outpouring of praise from their colleagues and students for their scholarly work, service, and long teaching careers.
Professor Emeritus Henry H.H. Remak spoke about Calinescu's personal background,
focusing on his early years in his mother country, Romania, and the environment of Eastern
Europe in which he developed and from which he emerged to become a world renowned scholar.
Also there to honor the retiring professors were PhD candidates Hanadi Al-Samman,
Christine Bolus-Reichert, and Mary Dezember. Al-Samman and Bolus-Reichert spoke
with high praise of Calinescu for his contribution to and support of their development as
students, teachers, and scholars. Dezember offered thanks to Calinescu and Bernhardt-Kabisch for
their work and support of herself and all of their students.
Mark Minster, a PhD student, related his experience as an appreciative and
admiring student of Bernhardt-Kabisch. With emotion and humor, Minster extended his congratulations
and reminded Bernhardt-Kabisch that as he ends a career with IU, he gains another bright beginning.
Printed in the program of the reception for retiring IU faculty members this year were essays written in honor of each retiree. Here we reproduce the essays written for our two retiring faculty members.
Ernest Bernhardt-Kabisch
| There was a Boy, ye knew him well,
ye Cliffs And Islands of Winander! (Wordsworth, The Prelude, V.38990) |
 |
There was another boy, well-known to the forests and fields of the Tyrolean Alps, whose
imagination was as nature-haunted as Wordsworth's, and he became a lifelong student of the
great British Romantic laureate. But Ernest Bernhardt-Kabisch's childhood experiences were,
also like Wordsworth's, haunted by more than nature. Just as Wordsworth's supposedly idyllic
childhood in the English Lake District was vexed by corrupt 18th-century British politics
and, later, the French Revolution and its Reign of Terror, so Ernest's presence in those Alpine
landscapes was the result of his family's determined efforts to protect him from the horrors of
World War II. Ernest was 4 years old when the war started in Europe. Born in Chemnitz, he
soon moved to Dresden, but his removal to the mountains spared him the holocaust of its
fire-bombing. There, amid the alien splendor with which nature often seems to regard
human horrors, our future intellectual and scholar grew into adolescence as a
field hand, woodsman, and cowherd.
After the war, Ernest attended a Gymnasium in Stuttgart, from which he graduated at
the age of 19 in 1954. This prolonged yet deeply threatened childhood seems to have left its
mark deep in Ernest's character and demeanor. I remember when I first met him, now
more than 30 years ago, on my campus recruitment visit to Bloomington. His boyish charm and
enthusiasm worked strongly on me to decide to come to IU. A Midwesterner myself, the supposed
boredom of "provincial" Indiana held no fears for me. But I was unprepared as many
of us have been for the sheer brilliance of the future colleagues one found
there, among the alien corn. Ernest seemed an Ariel-like nature spirit, with a racing,
captivating mind and brilliant, witty conversation. More's the wonder, he still seems
that way now, 30 years on.
No sooner had he finished his schooling and begun university study in Stuttgart and
Tübingen than he was, within a year, whirled away from the ruins of his childhood to
the University of California at Berkeley as a Fulbright scholar, a transition from disaster to
near-paradise that must have seemed nearly miraculous. He stayed on, earning his doctorate
there in 1962, one year after becoming a U.S. citizen. While at Berkeley, he met an
émigré cousin, Eva Dessau, daughter of the composer Paul Dessau. They soon
married, and together they raised her two children from an earlier marriage, and their own
son, Ethan, now a systems analyst for IU's registrar's office.
Ernest came to Bloomington in that same year of 1962 and, like astonishingly many of
IU's faculty, has been here ever since, advancing through the ranks to assistant professor in
1964, associate professor in 1966, and full professor in 1980. In an academic career of nearly
40 years, he has carved out a name for himself as the foremost student, along
with Geoffrey Hartman of Yale, of the epitaphic or "monumental" aspect
of Wordsworth's poetry the subtle and profound ways in which Wordsworth's "language of
the ancient earth" seems both to arise from and be articulated through "the beautiful
and permanent forms of nature." He was invited to lecture on this topic at the Wordsworth
Summer Conference in Grasmere, England, in 1983. An early series of essays established his reputation,
which grew through the years, extending to Wordsworth's difficult friend and
predecessor as poet laureate, Robert Southey, of whom Ernest published one of the groundbreaking
appreciative critical biographies in 1977. All along, he deepened IU students' appreciation of
romanticism with his own vast knowledge of its continental roots, especially in
Germany. For most of his IU career, Ernest has been a member of the comparative literature
department as well as the English department, serving for 10 years as review editor of its
international journal, Yearbook of Comparative and General
Literature.
Ernest brought to IU the European ideal of deep, broad, humanistic
learning, so foreign, increasingly, to contemporary pressures for increased
specialization. He was one of the creators of the freshman honors humanities core
curriculum between 1964 and 1972, a nine-hour course sequence in Western
civilization, literature, and philosophy that survives in the Honors Division's
"Ideas and Human Experience"
introductory seminars. Though he always taught Wordsworth and romanticism,
Ernest frequently branched out into other areas that grow organically from this
central core: mythology, music, religion, revolution, Goethe, and Milton.
An international profile has always been recognizable in his research
and writing, as well as his service, most concretely in his two years (199091
and 199495) as resident director of IU's overseas study program in Hamburg.
But Ernest has left his mark most deeply on the Collins Living
Learning Center, of which he was the director for 13 years, from 1977 to 1990. This
long tenure, coming soon after the LLC's creation, was crucial to its long-term
success and present reputation as one of IU's most valuable student treasures. For
this a half-time appointment for Ernest, but now carried on by two full-time
appointees Ernest received the university's Distinguished Service
Award in 1989 and last May was lauded by dozens of former students at the center's
25th anniversary celebration. As permanent testimony to his labors, both the
student lounge and a scholarship at Collins are named in his honor.
In retirement, Ernest is actively researching Wordsworth's
mysterious months in central Germany in
179899, and, returning in that most Wordsworthian of all ways ("the child
is father of the man") to the fecund roots of his childhood, is completing a
novel, Intruders in the Sky, that takes him
back to those earliest moments when Allied bombers began appearing in
German skies and moved the young Ernest to the mountains of the Tyrol and the
beginnings of the long career of nature and imagination that comes to fruition,
not an end, here today.

| Matei Calinescu |
|
When Matei Calinescu came to IU in 1973 as a visiting associate professor
of comparative literature and Russian and East European studies, the
university community at large did not recognize his arrival as a significant event.
Likewise, the following year, when Matei resigned his post at the University
of Bucharest, indicating that he had decided to stay in the United States,
scant attention was paid by the intelligentsia of southern Indiana. But in
Romania, where the news was broadcast by Radio Free Europe to millions of avid
listeners, it was a momentous occurrence. For in his native land, Matei Calinescu,
poet, novelist, and critic with, at that time, some nine or 10 books to his credit
was the preeminent literary figure of his generation. And his decision to
remain in the Unites States, when the Ceausescu dictatorship was consolidating power
and imposing neo-Stalinist ideological orthodoxy on all forms of cultural
expression, was seen as a decisive act of protest.
In leaving Romania, Matei was joining not only the Indiana University
community, but also the far-flung community of expatriate Romanian
intellectuals that included playwright Eugène Ionesco, philosopher E.M. Cioran,
and scholar of comparative religion Mircea Eliade. Matei already knew these men.
Now, writing in English and living in Bloomington, Ind., he would join
them on an international stage. The scholarly publications that Matei has offered to
his vastly expanded audience are too numerous to be listed here. The most
conspicuous and influential has undoubtedly been his celebrated book
Five Faces of Modernity. This work, with an astonishing
combination of analytic clarity and erudition, undertakes nothing less than to
explain how artistic movements and styles during the past century and a half have
been conceived in relation to traditional canons and forms of expression. One
measure of the importance of this book is the fact that, to date, it has been
translated into Spanish, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, Japanese, Chinese, and, yes,
Romanian. More impressive still is the frequency with which, in English or in its
various translations, Five Faces appears on
university course syllabi around the world, not only in departments of literature but
also in such varied disciplines as history, architecture, art, history, music
history, media studies, and cultural studies.
Nor does this impressive list of disciplines indicate the full range of
Matei's intellectual interests and contributions. When one takes into account his
work on politics and literature, his introductions to volumes by other authors, his
brilliant book on Rereading, and his continuing work on the theory of
rereading and of rewriting, one comes to realize that in forsaking Romania, Matei did
not forsake the role that he played there a role that is only rarely attained in
the Unites States namely that of public intellectual. When Matei resigned
his position in Romania, he still had only a visiting appointment at IU. By the
time his position was changed to a permanent one, in 1976, he had already been
the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. He subsequently rose to the rank of
full professor in only three years. Since then, Matei has been
awarded numerous other fellowships and honors. He has been
a popular teacher and sought-after dissertation director and an affable and
generous colleague. His commitment to the Comparative Literature Program has manifested
itself in various ways, including what may have been the most heroic gesture of his career,
his agreeing to serve as chair during the three years prior to his retirement.
Since shifting his physical presence to Bloomington, Matei has remained a
cultural presence in his native land. His 1969 novel,
The Life and Opinions of Zacharias Lichter, which had already been
translated into Polish and Hungarian and published in a second edition before Matei
left Romania, was republished in a third Romanian edition in 1995. His
Memoirs in Dialogue written as an exchange
of letters between his old friend Dr. Ion Vianu, a psychiatrist in Switzerland,
and himself as an émigré from
Ceausescu's Romania were published in Romania in 1994 and in a second Romanian
edition last year. One can only try to imagine how the accomplishments and
honors Matei has amassed in exile compare in his mind to his feelings on the occasion of his triumphal return to
post-Ceausescu Romania in 1994. Whereas his defection had been announced on
the clandestine broadcasts of Radio Free Europe, his return was that of a
media celebrity publicly fêted and interviewed in the print media and on
radio and television.
It was the great good fortune of Indiana University that Matei Calinescu
defected to us, and that, despite offers of endowed chairs elsewhere, he chose
never to defect again. It is our continued good fortune that even in retirement he
will remain in Bloomington, where his wife, Adriana, will continue her work as
the Thomas T. Solley Curator of Ancient Art at the IU Art Museum, and he will
complete work on three books, gracing his friends and colleagues with his
brilliant and charming presence.

Ilinca Zarifopol-Johnston
Mikita Brottman has published a new book, Hollywood Hex: Death and Destiny in the Dream Factory (Creation Press, London, April 1999), as well as chapters in four other books, and has an article forthcoming in the journal Biography. She was nominated to the editorial board of UnScene Film: The Cult Film and Its Critics (forthcoming, 2000) and is working on a book on "the biopic" for Cambridge University Press.
Breon Mitchell's translation of Kafka's Trial appeared in September 1998 and was out in paperback last June. He continues to work on an annotated bibliography of Samuel Beckett and received a Mellon Fellowship at the Humanities Research Center in Austin, Texas, to work with materials there last summer. He also did research at the Beckett Archives in Reading, England, in July. His future plans include editing the catalogue and giving the gallery talk for a comprehensive exhibition of illustrated editions of Beckett's works, to be held at Emory University this fall.
In October, Eugene Eoyang instructed a course, China: A Historical and Cultural Perspective, for the Global Partnership for Executive Development, Indiana UniversityInstitute Europeane des Administration et des Affairs, which was conducted in Hong Kong. He also presented a lecture titled "Other As Self: Identity As Sameness and As Difference in Poetry" at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Beijing Normal University, both in Beijing. In absentia, his work on "Intercultural Challenges to the Self" was presented at a conference held at Brigham Young University, and the Association of Departments of Foreign Language Bulletin recently published his essay on "The Worldliness of the English Language: A Lingua Franca Past and Future."
Last spring, Oscar Kenshur was the second member of the Department of Comparative Literature to participate in an exchange with the University of Lisbon, where he taught a course on Human Nature and the Modern Self. (Last fall, Gilbert Chaitin was the first to participate in the exchange.) During the summer, Kenshur conducted research in Paris and completed a forth coming monograph on Montesquieu, titled Virtue and Defilement: Moral Rationalism and Sexual Prohibitions in the Lettres Persanes.
Just in time for the 200th anniversary of the birth of Russian novelist Alexander Pushkin, Basic Books published Douglas Hofstadter's translation of Eugene Onegin last April. Hofstadter is also serving on the International Advisory Board of the Pushkin Bicentennial Conference, titled "Alexander Pushkin and Humanistic Study: Methodological Assumptions, Issues of Translation, East-West Dialogue," and will be giving a comparative reading at the conference in a session called "Onegin American Style." While on sabbatical, Hofstadter will be conducting a series of lectures on human versus machine translation at the University of Rochester, Mount Holyoke College, Boston University, and the University of Arizona, in addition to being the keynote lecturer for the conference "The Age of Chopin" at Indiana University in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the death of Chopin.
Adjunct faculty member Joan Hawkins has authored the book Cutting Edge: Art-Horror and the Horrific Avant-Garde, to be published by University of Minnesota Press in May 2000. Her essay "See It from the Beginning: Hitchcock's Reconstruction of Film History" on Hitchcock's rivalry with French director Henri-Georges recently appeared in The Hitchcock Annual. Also, her article "Sleaze-Mania, Eurotrash, and the Position of European Art Cinema in American Low Culture" is forthcoming in the December/January issue of Film Quarterly.
Professor Emeritus Peter Boerner survived the Goethe celebrations of 1999: While he refrained from visiting the cloned Gartenhaus in Weimar, he completed a new version of the Rowohlt monograph, complete with colored illustrations. Recently, he lent parts of his own Goethe collection to an exhibit at the University Library in Indianapolis and participated in a symposium on "Goethe in Exile" at the University of Kansas. He also completed his edition of the writings of Caroline von Wolzogen with volumes five and six, and, together with his wife, Nancy, prepared a report on hitherto unknown papers of Ottilie von Goethe, held by the Newberry Library in Chicago.
The recently retired Ernest Bernhardt-Kabisch is enjoying dividing his time between Bloomington and Hamburg, Germany. This fall, he gave a talk to the Gesellschaft fuer Weltweite Wissenschaft at Hamburg University on the topic "'I Traveled among Unknown Men': Wordsworth and Coleridge in Hamburg, 1798."
Adjunct Professor Suzanne Pinckney
Stetkevych spent the 1999 spring quarter at the University of Washington
in Seattle as the 199899 Solomon Katz Distinguished Visiting Professor in
the Humanities. While there, she offered a course through the department of
Near Eastern languages and civilizations and the department of religion on Poetry
and Society: The Arabic Ode in Comparative Contexts. Last May, she gave a
presentation in the Comparative Religion Program Faculty Seminar Series on
canons and canonicity titled "Canonicity and Contamination: Qur'an, Qasida:
