Drawing on Marcuse's analysis of one-dimensional society, this article investigates the relationship between text and fan in its cultural micro and macro framing. The article explores the semiotic conditions through which texts function as objects of fandom and juxtaposes the reflective reading of fan texts based on their immediate concretization and normalization with the reflexive engagement demanded by the textual "blanks" in literary texts Iser described. The aesthetic relevance of fan texts, thus, lies not in any specific meanings but in their lack thereof as manifestation of a social and cultural status quo.

In this paper, I demonstrate specific methods, developed from Jewish and black Womanist traditions, for the derivation of theology and ethics from contemporary Jewish women's literature and auto/biography. In order to recognize these texts as potentially theological, a radical shift in perception and interpretation is required. These texts bring to us Jewish women's experience. More, they contain the Jewish woman's response to that experience. I suggest within that response is an ethics, behind the ethics a theology. These texts then bring to us the theologies of our predecessors and contemporaries. In this paper, then, I explore the possibility that a baseline feminist approach to Jewish women's literature must begin here: viewing every Jewish woman's word as a potential declaration, each context a revelatory setting, all content an epiphany of the hitherto unrevealed and unread Jewish women's experience and situation, pains and glories, wisdom and silence.

Reflects on Cao Zueqin's novel, Honglou Meng, which is considered a "literary monument" & national treasure by Chinese readers. It is noted that the lengthy book, known in Western translation as both Dream of the Red Chamber & Story of the Stone, follows the lives of the extended Jia clan as it experiences a gradual loss of its fortunes. Although there is basically no plot & very little conflict, the story's significance has been related to the internal aesthetics of the text as well as its picture of the historical & cultural context of China at the peak of its power & glory. The richness of the vivid descriptions of old China during the 18th-century reign of the Manchu emperor is pointed out, along with Zueqin's brilliant presentation of everyday life; extraordinary degree of textual density; & superb manipulation of narrative rhetoric. Attention is also given to the architectonic symmetries of the novel's design & the multi-layered quality of the text. The allegorical nature of the seemingly mundane story is discussed. J. Lindroth
