In literature, traumatic history is communicated instead as an uncanny tale that produces a strange variety of unsettling pleasure while still preserving a certain degree of traumatic force from the original historical event. Here, Hughes critiques The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, the classic nightmare by Washington Irving, to trace out the transformation of a traumatic history from the revolutionary war into a rather different sort of tale, a comical pastoral romance involving the disappearance of a schoolteacher.

Blue, like any student of baseball history, knows that Robinson was, because of his central role in the breaking of baseball's color barrier, the subject of innumerable abuses and death threats during his initial tour of major league ballparks. In particular, Auster's play with the indeterminacy of reference of signifier(s) to signified(s), of text(s) to meaning(s), and of action(s) to identity/ies, makes his fiction amenable to poststructuralist accounts of reading as an indeterminate and de-constructive activity.\n In discussing this fall with Quinn, the elder Peter Stillman reminds him of Humpty Dumpty, Lewis Carroll's fallen creature who represents both linguistic unity and its fall (as the Tower of Babel does elsewhere in the novel).

Garcia describes the effects of Taliban's rule within the city are even more palpable. Children beg at every corner. Their parents--a few lucky kids still have parents--struggle to find any kind of employment. He asserts that in Kabul, nine thousand street children and countless slum dwellers live in appalling poverty. Instead of attending to school, one in three children must work to help his family survive. Moreover, he says that the only people bringing into the country are misguided aid workers, former warlords evolved into drug lords, plutocratic economic opportunists, and corrupt administrators. The rich suddenly have access to a market the Taliban denied them, but the poor remain as poor as always.

On the occasion of a BAM tribute to our man J. Hoberman, a look back Calling J. Hoberman "one of the greatest film critics to emerge from his generation, " the very wise and always correct tastemakers at BAM kick off their month-long tribute to Hoberman's 30-year career at the Voice this week with screenings of David Lynch's Eraserhead (the first film Hoberman reviewed for the paper) and David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch. Discounting such vintage Cronenberg body-horrors as Rabid or The Brood, the closest Naked Lunch came to the screen was in Howard Brookner's 1983 documentary Burroughs, which included abrief dramatization of the book's lavatory operation with Burroughs himself as Doctor Benway, braying about the time he performed an appendectomy with "a rusty sardine can" ...

Though they cannot supplant nor replace other methodologies, films can possibly raise new questions, provide different perspectives, and reveal unique ways of knowing about seminal subject, at least by comparison to the standard fare of academic analysis. Each one, "ethics" and "leadership," draw upon substantially different intellectual literatures, scholarly methodologies, traditional assumptions, and disciplinary perspectives. Film, often far better than social science literature, may provide a more "holistic account" of not only individual lives, but entire situations where ethical leadership is practiced. Finally, ethical leadership includes the use of symbols. Symbols abound throughout, thus giving the story meaning, depth, and power beyond simply "a typical feel-good" movie. List...
