I am interested in the interdisciplinary foundations of aesthetics and how conceptions of cultural criticism, including art and literary criticism, fit into European intellectual history. My dissertation describes historically significant approaches to criticism (with an emphasis on the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries), examining their engagement with problems of judgment and subjectivity. The overall goal of my project is to explore how relationships between theories of knowledge and theories of imagination and creativity have come to define the modern critical undertaking - particularly in academic and institutional contexts. To what extent do the artworks and cultural examples we enjoy and engage with, come to represent back to us (through the critical process) a convergence of systematic knowledge and aesthetic pleasure? What preoccupies me throughout my research is the way objects of study are constituted intellectually. How are abstract or technical questions being posed? How do these questions themselves become legitimated through institutional programs of taste, knowledge, aesthetic autonomy, and aesthetic pleasure?

Ph.D. candidate, Literary and Cultural Studies
My dissertation traces the process by which early Romantic-era visual arts
ordered themselves into a field. Painters and promoters of the English
School used metaphors of the sister arts to legitimize their trade as a
liberal art. I look at the relationships between the book and engraving
trades and the discursive as well as material practices that created a call
for history painting in Britain around the turn of the nineteenth century.
Especially relevant to my study are John Boydell, Sir William Hamilton,
William Blake and his circle, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and Josiah Wedgwood.

Rebecca May <rmaatta@andrew.cmu.edu>
Doctoral Candidate, Literary and Cultural Studies
I completed both my BA and MA degrees here at CMU with a brief two-term study at Oxford University during undergrad. Currently, I am ABD, having completed my exams in the British long nineteenth century, emphasis on the novel. My interests (both research and teaching) include gender, histories of sexuality and medicine as well as all things gothic. In addition to teaching freshmen comp here at CMU, I have taught Intro to Gender Studies, Looking Forward, Sliding Back?: Nineteenth Century Stories of Progress and Decay and The Man(-) Made Monster from Frankenstein to Dracula. I have also led a seminar on Shakespeare at Chatham’s Pittsburgh Teacher’s Institute. My dissertation Morbid Parts: Gender, Seduction and the Necro-Gaze considers eroticized representations of corpses in travel and execution narratives, novels, poems, medical textbooks and engravings from the mid-eighteenth through the nineteenth centuries. A compressed version of it is forthcoming from Palgrave in A History of Sexual Perversion 1650-1850, edited by Julie Peakman. Finally for the academic year 2007-2008 I am interim director of the LCS MA program.

Eric Vazquez <evazquez@andrew.cmu.edu>
Ph.D. student, Literary and Cultural Studies
I am principally interested in how the processes of globalization register in the United States. A common misunderstanding about these processes is that they radiate from the center (the U.S.) and move outward. I want to explore how American culture tries to make globalization “knowable” to itself in the contemporary moment. How does this seemingly unseen development become represented as a reality? To that end I want to explore the questions of the “real” in things like documentary, fictional and pornographic modes of representation. Other things that interest me include: theories of desire, theorizing the social substrate, the relationship of technology to culture, and materialisms.
