项目摘要

My research to date has dealt with interdisciplinary examinations of African American literature and culture, including work on the connections between Pentecostalism and jazz and research into cold war anxieties about miscegenation and homosexuality during the late 1940s and early 1950s in the U.S. My recent work on James Baldwin has focussed on the writer's Pentecostal background in order to illuminate the connections in his work between music and sexuality. I have also published on Baldwin's role as a writer and celebrity during the era of black nationalism, exploring the tensions in his work between masculinity and homosexuality.I am eager to incorporate this material into a larger and more theoretically coherent study, ensuring that the project makes an original contribution to existing studies of Baldwin's work. My project situates Baldwin's fiction and non-fiction in the four decades out of which his writing emerged, illuminating not only Baldwin's work but showing how it responded to and anticipated contemporary interest in areas such as the transatlantic and black queer writing. My research examines Baldwin's writing in the context of the post-war liberal publications which show-cased his work, including his early US reviews and articles in New Leader and The Nation but also looks closely at Baldwin's connections to Zero, the first post-war English language literary journal in France. I will look at how Baldwin's second novel, Giovanni's Room (1956) responds to and anticipates cold war concerns about homosexuality and miscegenation and my research on Baldwin and religion will be distinguished by a close examination of Baldwin's Pentecostal past. Finally, my work on Baldwin and the transatlantic will extend recent work on Baldwin and France/ Turkey by inaugurating an examination of the author's connections to, and reception in, the United Kingdom and his writings on Africa. My analysis of Baldwin and Africa will draw on uncollected interviews in African publications and will consider his shifting relationship to the African diaspora from the 1950s to the 1970s. In the last seven years there have been two exciting collections of essays on Baldwin (James Baldwin Now [1999] and Reviewing James Baldwin [2000]) but there is little work that contextualises Baldwin's work and no recent monograph. Lynn Orilla Scott's, James Baldwin's Later Fiction (2004) focuses on Baldwin's last three novels and Clarence Hardy's James Baldwin's God (2003) touches on Baldwin's fiction but is written from a theological perspective. The most recent single-authored work to examine all of Baldwin's fiction is Trudier Harris's Black Women in the Fiction of James Baldwin (1985). Building on my forthcoming edited collection (The Historical Guide to James Baldwin [Oxford UP, 2008]), my project will make an original contribution to work on Baldwin and post-war writing. The work will be distinguished by its original research but it will also contribute to discussions of Pentecostalism, music, the cold war and black gay writing.In the course of my research on Baldwin I have established contacts with numerous Baldwin scholars (I have given papers at the last two international conferences on Baldwin at Howard University, Washington D.C. and Queen Mary, University of London in 2002 and 2007 respectively and will be giving a paper at the American Studies Association on Baldwin in October 2008). I have read the Baldwin papers at the Schomburg Center and I have been awarded a fellowship to the University of Indiana to view Baldwin's letters in June 2008. I have established contacts with two Baldwin biographers (David Leeming and James Campbell) who have given me access to unpublished letters and manuscripts. I have also interviewed friends of Baldwin, including Caryl Phillips, Harold Norse and Themistocles Hoetis (editor of Zero). Thus, this projecttakes Baldwin scholarship forward through the consideration of new material and approaches.
到目前为止,我的研究涉及非裔美国文学和文化的跨学科研究,包括关于五旬节派和爵士乐之间联系的研究,以及对20世纪40年代末和50年代初美国对异族通婚和同性恋的冷战焦虑的研究。我最近对詹姆斯·鲍德温的研究主要集中在作家的五旬节派背景上,以阐明他的作品中音乐和性之间的联系。我还发表了关于鲍德温在黑人民族主义时代作为作家和名人的角色的文章,探讨了他作品中男子气概与同性恋之间的紧张关系。我渴望将这些材料纳入一个更大、更理论上连贯的研究,确保该项目对鲍德温工作的现有研究做出原创性贡献。我的项目将鲍德温的小说和非小说作品放在他作品出现的四十年里,不仅照亮了鲍德温的作品,还展示了它是如何回应和预测当代对跨大西洋和黑人酷儿写作等领域的兴趣的。我的研究考察了鲍德温在战后自由主义出版物的背景下的写作,这些出版物展示了他的作品,包括他早期在美国的评论和文章《新领袖》和《国家》,但也密切关注鲍德温与法国战后第一本英语文学杂志《零》的联系。我将研究鲍德温的第二部小说《乔瓦尼的房间》(1956)是如何回应和预测冷战时期对同性恋和异族通婚的关注的。我对鲍德温和宗教的研究将通过对鲍德温五旬节派过去的仔细研究而与众不同。最后,我关于鲍德温和跨大西洋的研究将扩展最近关于鲍德温和法国/土耳其的研究,开始考察作者与英国的联系和在英国的接受情况,以及他关于非洲的著作。我对鲍德温和非洲的分析将借鉴非洲出版物中未收集的采访,并将考虑他与非洲侨民从20世纪50年代到70年代之间不断变化的关系。在过去的七年里,有两部关于鲍德温的精彩文集(《James Baldwin Now》[1999]和《review James Baldwin》[2000]),但很少有作品将鲍德温的作品放在背景中,也没有最近的专著。林恩·奥利拉·斯科特的《詹姆斯·鲍德温的后期小说》(2004)聚焦于鲍德温的最后三部小说,克拉伦斯·哈代的《詹姆斯·鲍德温的上帝》(2003)触及了鲍德温的小说,但是从神学的角度写的。最近一部考察鲍德温所有小说的单作者作品是特鲁迪尔·哈里斯的《詹姆斯·鲍德温小说中的黑人女性》(1985)。在我即将出版的编辑集(詹姆斯·鲍德温历史指南[牛津出版社,2008])的基础上,我的项目将对鲍德温和战后写作的工作做出原创性贡献。这部作品将因其原创研究而闻名,但它也将有助于对五旬节派、音乐、冷战和黑人同性恋写作的讨论。在我对鲍德温的研究过程中,我与许多鲍德温学者建立了联系(我分别于2002年和2007年在华盛顿霍华德大学和伦敦大学玛丽皇后学院举行的鲍德温国际会议上发表了论文,并将于2008年10月在美国研究协会发表一篇关于鲍德温的论文)。我在朔姆伯格中心读过鲍德温的论文,2008年6月,我获得了印第安纳大学的奖学金,可以阅读鲍德温的信件。我与鲍德温的两位传记作者(大卫·利明和詹姆斯·坎贝尔)建立了联系,他们让我接触到未发表的信件和手稿。我还采访了鲍德温的朋友,包括卡里尔·菲利普斯(Caryl Phillips)、哈罗德·诺斯(Harold Norse)和泰米斯托克利斯·赫蒂斯(Themistocles Hoetis)(《Zero》的编辑)。因此,该项目通过对新材料和新方法的考虑,推动了鲍德温奖学金的发展。
