| Bazin explores the archives and poetry of Marianne Moore using the philosophical frames of modernity as they have been theorized by Walter Benjamin. Moore's own preoccupation with the discourses of advertising and fashion, her investment in the aesthetics of display as well as her formal collage techniques all point to an interest in and engagement with modernism's "other": mass culture. Appropriating Benjamin's conception of the role of the commodity as well as his work on "mechanical reproduction", Bazin argues that Moore's work is as much constructed out of the arcadian pleasures of modernity as it is the expression of high modernism. novels reframe what Freud calls the "rigidity and unchangeability" of women over thirty by exposing the frenzied energies their central characters expend in their efforts to appear static and unchanging. Drawing on Joan Riviere's notion of the feminine masquerade, Port demonstrates that Rhys's characters supplement the masquerade of femininity with one of youth and that this double-masquerade is evident not only in the actions of Rhys's characters, but also in the narrative form in which she tells their stories. | |
