• W23966936 abstract "Critics of the past two decades have taken a truism that every speech act is politically situated, leading to vibrant debates about the role that an author's demographic identity should play in interpreting his or her work. On the one hand are those who see the intentional fallacy, in something of a latency period during the decades since Wimsatt and Beardsley's famous article took root, (1) returning from the repressed with a vengeance, contaminating a new generation of critics and teachers. On the other hand are those who find it simply naive to disregard the identity politics of authorship. Nowhere is this debate more visible than in studies of texts dealing with race. Among such studies, eighteenth-century English texts are lately gaining along-deserved purchase on the academy's attention. By the eighteenth century, Keith Sandiford puts it, a Black presence had emerged within England as a direct consequence of that country's participation in the slave trade. (2) Combine that with the cobbli ng together of a readerly market and a bookselling infrastructure, and you have an interesting period indeed for those who wish to understand how the modern Western world developed its own master narratives about race. Studies of eighteenth-century narratives about race have tended, perhaps naturally, to divide themselves according to authorial race. Such Afro-British writers Ignatius Sancho, Ottabah Cugoano, and Olaudah Equiano, are often viewed together, they are in Sandiford's landmark Measuring the Moment (1988). (3) Vincent Carretta's more recent Unchained Voices (1996) pulls together a broader range of writers, enabling him to point out, for example, that the earliest Afro-British publications, by Briton Harmon and Jupiter Harmon, although autobiographical, were by no means anti-slavery texts. (4) But Carretta's principle of selection is still authorial race. Those studies, on the other hand, that do network white and black British authors of the period tend to draw heavily on the authors' racial identities the informing principle of the network. Bill Overton's Countering Crusoe: Two Colonial Narratives, for example, analyzes the very three texts I have chosen, but does so with an eye on key differences in the social and cultural position of these writers: white woman, white man, black man. (5) Such studies Sandiford's, Carretta's, and Overton's have an obvious and continuing value, but I have elected to network Behn, Defoe, and Equiano, using not racial identity but an overlapping conceptual space the binding principle. By conceptual space, I mean a culture's interface with the world, through which the world is rendered intelligible. There are webs upon webs in conceptual space, translating he world into differential concepts, with the demarcated zones in the webs continually changing size and shape. Executing a study of conceptual history requires viewing texts registers not of personal or racial intent but of changes in these demarcated zones of conceptual space. It also requires viewing history a kind of Kantian category, not a thing in the world but a way of organizing the world, a conception by which phenomena are mediately represented. (6) Thus I will consider Behn, Defoe, and Equiano to be working within the overlapping conceptual space of eighteenth-century British cultur e, the eighteenth century British way of organizing the world, and to be stretching the webs of their own organizing apparatus. Once I begin networking the three writers under discussion via conceptual space rather than authorial race, three concepts emerge the center of focus: class, race, and slavery. How do these three concepts--these three bounded zones within the web of conceptual space, it were--change size and shape in the eighteenth century, and how do relations and spaces of overlap between the three also change? Conducting the analysis means viewing these three central concepts not only zones in the web of conceptual space but monads within a cultural field. …" @default.
