Forgive me, but hopefully I'll have most of this revised by Friday... I've been incredibly sick since last week and I cannot seem to get better! I haven't had a chance to look in Norlin, but I've been tampering around with Jstor. I'm going to try and install the VPN Client on my computer so I can find books I want in Norlin before I even go there (I don't live in Boulder, so it's a pain to run back and forth when you're sick) Also, I'm pretty much going off of the main ideas of Said's book Orientalism. I was planning on using that as a kind of outline for this project. We've done a lot with this in film studies, and I think it's absolutely fascinating!
Some articles I found on Jstor that I'm hoping will get me started:
Constructed Narratives and Writing Identity in the Fiction of Katherine Anne Porter, M. K. FORNATARO-NEIL
Katherine Anne Porter and Mexico: The Illusion of Eden. By Thomas F. Walsh
Diego Rivera and Katherine Anne Porter's "The Martyr"
Darlene Harbour Unrue
Katherine Anne Porter's "Flowering Judas" and D.H. Lawrence's "The Plumed Serpent":Contrasting Visions of Women in the Mexican Revolution
Peter G. Christensen
Obviously I haven't gotten around to O'Connor yet because the Mexico stories are sticking out in my mind so much right now.
However, I would very much like any suggestions on how I would go about looking at critical resources, or even historical resources that show "the other's" view on the Porter/O'Connor stories. I think that would be incredibly interesting. Especially getting a perspective from a Southern black person?
