Memory as Seriality: Re-cognizing Gertrude Stein
Interrogating concepts of memory at the interfaces of literary and cultural studies and the cognitive sciences, this essay calls on the paradigmatic modernist Gertrude Stein. Stein’s sense of cognitive processes as repetition with variation—or insistence, as the author put it—not only highlights the value of the term seriality for an understanding of memory in both fields. Quite surprisingly, the author’s very resistance to memory closely relates to current notions, in cognition research, of how memory works: as a mode of perception that remembers forward rather than backward and that is highly dependent on forgetting.

The Influence of Cubism in Hemingway's Conception of Bullfighting in 'The Capital of the World'
This essay shows the connection between two fields Hemingway was particularly keen on--modern art and bullfighting. More specifically, this article pivots around \"The Capital of the World,\" a story that contains several interesting examples of the influence that Cubism, one of the artistic movements most admired by Hemingway, had on his way of understanding tauromachy inside and outside the bullring. The use of certain stylistic techniques based on cubist pictorial techniques give shape and highlight some of the main ideas the American author had on bullfighting.

Rasa as an Ecologically Sustainable Aesthetic Theory
If theatre is going to fundamentally change the way we think about climate crisis – and the way we relate to our planet and other species on it – we must embrace aesthetic theories that embody modes of sustainable thinking. Aesthetic theories reflect and constitute ways of thinking, being, and interacting; they are not, then, politically neutral. If aesthetic theories are political, can we think about them in terms of their impact on climate crisis? Are certain aesthetic theories “more sustainable” than others? In this essay, I examine the Sanskrit theory of rasa and propose that rasa embodies and offers a model of sustainability on which to base our theatre.

Landscape as Operational Notion in the Performing Arts
This essay aims to trigger the landscape as an operational notion in the Performing Arts. It reflects the landscape of Gertrude Stein theater as a paradigm for a scene architected from a co-relational way. It appears, that the landscape as an exemplary condition can operate as a theatrical poetic perceived in its entirety, in its materializations and in its possible imaginary senses.

Out of the Closet and Into the Home: Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, and the Affordances of the Domestic Interior
The domestic sphere was of great importance to Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas. Indeed, their home in Paris was a social epicenter of expatriate modernism. This article reads Stein's experimental literature of 1908 to 1920 to understand the identificatory and relational processes that the affordances of the domestic space make possible. It situates the queer in Stein as a domestic phenomenon, arguing that queer bonding and identity formation happen, for her, most meaningfully in the home.

The Cuteness of the Avant‐Garde
What all taste concepts capture is the simple fact that while one does not necessarily have to have an aesthetic relation to artworks, one can very readily have aesthetic relations to entities which are not art and to the artfully designed, packaged, and advertised merchandise that surround the world. Here, Ngai discusses how Gertrude Stein and other avant-garde poets had a very specific stake in venturing into the largely unexamined areas Stein's comment foregrounds and, indeed, by selectively focusing on one taste concept that might be thought of as the miscegenational progeny of J. L. Austin's 2 examples.
