Entry+ideas

** long entry ideas: **
Big House (i.e., the figure of the antebellum planter's house as a model of aspiration: e.g., the homes of the Compsons, Sutpen, McCaslin, etc.) boundary (thinking about literal spatial boundaries, especially re: ownership of land, but also metaphorical boundaries such as those containing racial/sexual mixture) cars (might be medium-length) decadence development (in economic sense especially, with special reference to "uneven development" within modern US and or "arrested development" or "inertia" as figures for South) dirt (or mud) (thinking about Caddy's muddy drawers or figurations of "white trash" etc.) Check out //Dirt and Desire// on this. endurance ("Appendix, Compson, 1699-1945" and check out Glissant's FAULKNER, MISSISSIPPI) exchange flowers (might examine role played by honeysuckle, wistaria, narcissus, roses, etc. across several novels) gender Jefferson mobility modernity money names/naming (thinking about Addie's riff on names, problem of names in LIA, perhaps Faulkner's rather Dickensian penchant for embedding hints about characters in names) nostalgia speculation (thinking about a) the obsession with the markets in the Jason section of TSAF and b) Quentin's and Shreve's speculation about the Sutpen family in AA)

**medium entries:**
any major character, including:

Ikkemotubbe (AA 33, also GDM, and see Glissant's long riff on the character) Caroline Compson [ltshanley] Dalton Ames Herbert Head Jason Compson (elder) Jason Compson (younger) Luster (Cara) Mrs. McEachern Quentin Compson Quentin Head (?) Shreve (TSAF or AA!) Wash Jones Uncle Buck (U) - (Melanie L)

any central location, including: Jefferson Compson home

other medium-length entries: Andrews' Raid or The Great Locomotive Chase [Kristy O'Driscoll] animal magnetism [Nick Neely] apotheosis (one of Faulkner's favorite words: might be a "long" entry) (TSAF 177 et al.) cotton exchange (Kelly Huang) (thinking about Jason's paranoid riffs on commodities markets on, e.g., 191) carpetbagger [Bill Keane] eyes [Misba] prostitution (Harrison Troyano) graphophone [Cody Piggott] Gossip in LIA [Matthew Hitchman} quickening [Mike Monahan] paternity/patriarchy/patrilineality [Sophia Curran] populism [Bill Keane] Lucas Burch [Laura Nuzzo] Memory in LIA (Kelly Huang) mules [Stephanie Park] railroads/trains [Portia Reiners] ratiocination [Kristy] redneck [Erica] (note that Q2s amour wears a "red tie," and that the red tie was appropriated by Bilbo, Vardaman, and other populist politicians as a sort of joke on their "redneck" roots and constituency) tragicomic [Casey Levinson] urn/Keat's "Ode to Grecian Urn" [Nick Neely] Vardaman (the politician, not the character in AILD: see above note on "redneck")
