7. The Walker Percy Project Essay on the post-Southern Renaissance author and the themes of Southern writing in general. http://www.ibiblio.org/wpercy/makowsky.html

Walker Percy and Southern Literature Veronica Makowsky Written for THE WALKER PERCY PROJECT (1996); Makowsky is the author of a number of books, including Caroline Gordon: A Biography (Oxford University Press, 1989); she is Professor of English at the University of Connecticut. "I DON'T LIKE TO BE DESCRIBED as a Southern writer," declared Walker Percy in a 1989 interview. "The danger is, if you're described as a Southern writer, you might be thought of as someone who writes about a picturesque local scene like Uncle Tom's Cabin Gone With the Wind , something like that." ( More Conversations , 223). Percy frequently attempted to evade the danger of being labeled a "Southern writer" by stressing the more existentialist aspects of his work, but his fiction nonetheless remains very much a part of the Southern literary heritage. Southern literature, except for Faulkner, has largely been ignored in traditional American literature books and courses which privilege Northeastern American literary history, leading to the fear of being labeled a "Southern writer" that many Southern authors exhibit. Part I of this essay will briefly delineate the history and themes of Southern literature in order to reveal Percy's connections to his native literature in Part II. What is Southern Literature?

Walker Percy and Charles S. Peirce: Abduction and Language Spanish version Jaime Nubiola jnubiola@unav.es (University of Navarra, Spain) Signposts in a Strange Land (2). That reading had an effect on me very similar to Helen Keller's remarkable experience with the water from the fountain, referred to so many times by Percy(3). Percy was suggesting that the unifying element in all those topics that had attracted me so much was to be found in the insufficiency of the scientificist narrative that, permeated with a simplified Darwinism, had dominated the Anglo-American academic scene during the second half of this century with the aim of explaining the most characteristic behaviours of human beings such as language and communication. The cure in Percys judgement ought to be looked for in Charles Peirce and his discovery of the irreducibly triadic nature characteristic of all linguistic behaviour: the remedy to overcome the San Andreas Fault, the gap that divides our culture between natural sciences and humanities, making an integrated understanding of human beings and their activity impossible, was to be found in "the work of a human scientist who, I believe, laid the groundwork for a coherent science of man, and did so a hundred years ago"(5). Scientism, held by the Vienna Circle and its positivist heirs, became the dominant culture from the 1950s onwards, converting itself into materialist realism which sought to explain everything

Walker Percy Amerikanischer Arzt und Schriftsteller. Geboren 1916 in Birmingham, Alabama. Chemiestudium an der University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, Abschluß 1937. Medizinstudium an der Columbia University in New York, Spezialisierung auf Psychologie und Pathologie, Abschluß 1941. 1942 Erkrankung an Tuberkulose, dreijähriger Kampf mit der Krankheit. 1946 Heirat mit Mary Bernice Townsend. 1947 zum Katholizismus konvertiert. Lebte ab 1950 in Covington, Louisiana. 1990 gestorben an Krebs in Covington. Werke The Moviegoer (Roman, 1960), dt. Übersetzung Der Kinogeher (1980, übersetzt von Peter Handke) Aus der Anmerkung zur deutschen Übersetzung von Peter Handke: " The Moviegoer wurde zunächst wenig beachtet. Doch der National Book Award 1962 trug dann in Amerika viel zu einer Wirkung bei, die nicht mit der Saison wieder verschwand, sondern auch jetzt noch, fast zwanzig Jahre später, machtvoll andauert. Ohne ein außerliterarisches Kultbuch zu sein, aber auch nicht einzuordnen in die amerikanische Romantradition, wird The Moviegoer von einem Leser an den anderen weitergegeben, als die geltende Geschichte, jenseits der aktuellen Ideologien oder Schreibtheorien. ... Trotzdem will ich eine Phantasie nicht verschweigen, die im Lauf der Übersetzungsarbeit immer stärker und wärmer wurde: daß der Moviegoer wieder ein Held ist, wie er nach Camus'
