Body of Text

(Book*hug, 2008)
ART 386

Body of Text is a collection of concrete poems made by marrying poetry with body-based performance art and documentary photography. Dressed in a full black body-suit, Michael V. Smith is photographed by David Ellingsen in hundreds of poses which resemble Greco-Roman letters, Asian characters, hieroglyphs, or Rorschach inkblots. These are then arranged in book form, to a maximum of three images per page. In the same spirit of moving beyond language as heard in the sound poetry of Christian Bök, the poems in Body of Text occupy a liminal space between poetry and visual art. The body is made word, is made site, object and subject. The body is symbol.

Popular Music and the Postcolonial

(Routledge, 2019)
ART 106

Popular Music and the Postcolonial addresses the often-overlooked relationship between the fields of popular music and postcolonial studies, and it has implications for ethnomusicology, cultural and literary studies, history, sociology, and political economy. Popular music in its many forms exploded in popularity, following developments in sound technology and shifting population demographics, in the 1960s, the era of radical agitation against empires in the global south but also within the very heart of Europe. Popular music aided in fostering and documenting such resistance to violent oppression and in liberating the hearts and minds of the colonized. This collection offers a timely intervention in this field, showing popular music’s role in defining or undermining certain colonial and postcolonial nations, in expanding and complicating the domain of postcolonial theorists—including the “founder” of postcolonial studies Edward Said—and in decolonizing the ears of its diverse, sometimes antagonistic, audiences. 

This book was originally published as a special issue of Popular Music and Society.

Postcolonial George Eliot

(Palgrave MacMillan, 2017)
ART 102

This book examines the range of the colonial imaginary in Eliot’s works, from the domestic and regional to ancient and speculative colonialisms. It challenges monolithic, hegemonic views of George Eliot — whose novelistic career paralleled the creation of British India — and also dismissals of the postcolonial as ahistorical. It uncovers often-overlooked colonized figures in the novels. It also investigates Victorian Islamophobia in light of Eliot’s impatience with ignorance, intolerance, and xenophobia as well as her interrogation of the make-believe of endings. Drawing on a range of sources from Eugène Bodichon’s Algerian anthropological texts, the Persian journals of John Martyn, and postmodern re-engagements, Postcolonial George Eliot has implications for an understanding of the globalization of English, the decolonization of disciplinarity and periodization, and the roots of present-day conflict in the wider Mediterranean world.

Approaches to Teaching the Works of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o

(Modern Language Association of America, 2012)
SCI 236

Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o is one of the most important and celebrated authors of postindependence Africa as well as a groundbreaking postcolonial theorist. His work, written first in English, then in Gĩkũyũ, engages with the transformations of his native Kenya after what is often termed the Mau Mau rebellion. It also gives voice to the struggles of all Africans against economic injustice and political oppression. His writing and activism have continued despite imprisonment, the threat of assassination, and exile.

Part 1 of this volume, “Materials,” provides resources and background for the teaching of Ngũgĩ’s novels, plays, memoirs, and criticism. The essays of part 2, “Approaches,” consider the influence of Frantz Fanon, Karl Marx, and Joseph Conrad on Ngũgĩ; how the role of women in his fiction is inflected by feminism; his interpretation and political use of African history; his experimentation with orality and allegory in narrative; and the different challenges of teaching Ngũgĩ in classrooms in the United States, Europe, and Africa.

My Body is Yours

(Arsenal Pulp Press, 2015)
ART 376

Michael V. Smith is a multihyphenate force of nature: a novelist, poet, improv comic, filmmaker, drag queen, performance artist, and occasional clown. In this, his first work of nonfiction, Michael traces his early years as an inadequate male–a fey kid growing up in a small town amid a blue-collar family; a sissy; an insecure teenager desperate to disappear; and an obsessive writer-performer, drawn to compulsions of alcohol, sex, reading, spending, work, and art as a means to cope and heal.

As an artist whose work focuses on our preconceived notions about the body, Michael questions the very notion of what it means to be human. He also asks: How can we know what a man is? How might understanding gender as metaphor be a tool for a deeper understanding of identity? In coming to terms with his past “failures” at masculinity, and with an aging father he is only beginning to come to know, Michael offers a new way of thinking about breaking out of gender norms, and reconciling with a dangerous childhood.

Niagara Motel

(Arsenal Pulp Press, 2016)
ART 386

Set in 1992, Ashley Little’s follow-up to her award-winning novel Anatomy of a Girl Gang introduces readers to unforgettable eleven-year-old Tucker Malone–the only child of a narcoleptic touring stripper–who believes his father is Sam Malone from Cheers. He and his mother move from motel to motel until, one night in Niagara Falls, his mother is hit by a car after falling asleep in the street.

Tucker is sent to live in a youth group home where he meets Meredith, a pregnant sixteen-year-old street prostitute. They bond over Slurpees and a shared love for literature and he convinces her to “borrow” a car to go to Boston to find his father.

Their cross-country search becomes an epic depiction of mid-90s America as Tucker comes face to face with some of the most notorious criminals of the time: The Oklahoma Bomber; Lorena Bobbitt; the boys responsible for the Columbine High School massacre; O.J. Simpson; and Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka.

Told in spare, straightforward prose, Niagara Motel is a biting chronicle during the rise of mass media in the decade that defined the MTV Generation, and the bittersweet story of a young boy forced to learn brutal lessons on his way to becoming a man.

Ceci est mon corps

(Éditions Triptyque, 2019)
ART 376

Ceci est mon corps relate l’éducation sentimentale d’un jeune garçon homosexuel issu d’un milieu socioéconomique défavorisé de l’Est ontarien. Le texte traverse les frontières de genre (littéraire et sexuel), d’orientation sexuelle, de langue, de race et de classe en proposant d’analyser la décomposition d’une famille et la recomposition d’une autre, la chosen family queer qui permettra au personnage de s’épanouir de manière saine et authentique. Maniant les théories queer et le genderfuck, abordant la honte, la dépression, la maladie, la solitude et le sexe compulsif, Michael V. Smith crée, avec Ceci est mon corps, une oeuvre complexe, écrite dans une langue accessible permettant à un vaste lectorat d’entrer en relation avec son histoire, racontée sans fard, afin d’y trouver quelque chose comme une forme queer d’humanité, construite à partir de la vulnérabilité la plus totale. « Je me suis souvent promis, au fil des ans, de tempérer mon ardeur pour le sexe en public, le sexe anonyme, les petites vites, le sexe ailleurs que dans un lit, mais à mesure que passaient les semaines solitaires, ma détermination finissait par chanceler. J’avais l’impression que tout le monde sauf moi avait percé le code secret gay puisque j’étais incapable de convaincre qui que ce soit de me fréquenter. Le sexe en public me permettait de trouver un réconfort physique et d’oublier les soirées en solitaire.
