Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Chicago, 2003.

This nontraditional dissertation takes its title and its cue from Matthew Arnold's taunting observation in "The Function of Criticism at the Present Time." In this essay, Arnold contends that the "force" of the cultural/political moment is the condition of all poetry that matters. In making this claim, Arnold emphasizes the power of "the existing order of things" in the context of the cultural landscape, an idea he mines from the documents generated by the French Revolution. The "existing order of things" to which Arnold draws attention represents the inertia of dominant social and political constructs as much as it does the status quo in art and art-making. Using theories of the polis and identity as well as the exigencies of the current political moment, "The Existing Order of Things" poetically examines the political and social situation in America during the time of its composition. This examination makes use of both formalist and theoretical strategies. For example, by redeploying common, identifiable rhetorics such as U.S. Army Recruiting Materials the poems deconstruct and recontextualize familiar language ins order to subvert its assumptions and objectives. Similarly, theorists of political liberalism, like John Rawls and Stanley Fish, contribute ideas that foster poems critical of the second Bush administration. In addition, various literary theoreticians, from the Russian formalists, to French feminists, to postmodern critics of visual art, contribute ideas valuable to cultural critique, resulting in various poems and sequences against the "order." The range of Formalist interests is extended, quite literally, in the democracy of form in the book, which varies from a double-page work in the shape of the U.S. flag to traditional stanzaic forms to poems written for more than one voice. The formal range is meant to appeal to readers across the boundaries of poetic schools as much as it is designed to reinforce democratic representation upon which the country was founded and from which it can derive the force that Arnold claims is necessary for renewal.
