Advanced through<br \/>\nanalogies to <b>whaling<\/b>, the argument begins with an account of the Makah<br \/>\ntribe&#8217;s resumption of whaling practices in the Pacific Northwest in an effort to<br \/>\nrestore cultural heritage. Their whaling praxis was compromised and so they<br \/>\nsought to restore it. Neel tests the limits of this decision, noting that<br \/>\ncountertheories were well in place &quot;by the time such a practice could be<br \/>\ndemonstrated theoretically as socially desirable&quot; (5). <\/p>\n<p>From here, Neel works through multiple possible readings of the <b>story of<br \/>\nJonah<\/b> and the whale&#8211;the least probable of which is a literal reading. In<br \/>\nother words, the perpetually re-cast, re-framed, re-interpreted allegory<br \/>\nsuggests the shifting enactments of theory. <\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, this is an argument for <b>&quot;Reclaiming Theory.&quot;<\/b> Neel contends<br \/>\nthat &quot;Composition becomes mature, however, able to sustain itself, when it<br \/>\nconstantly scrutinizes its theoretical underpinnings&quot; (9). He goes on, &quot;It would<br \/>\nbe <b>naive to retreat from theory<\/b>, and it would be exceedingly selfish,<br \/>\nbecause the only faculty who truly have the option of doing so already have<br \/>\ntenure and have already passed through the process of finding a voice with which<br \/>\nto speak&quot; (10). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;<b>Theory forces one to interrogate one&#8217;s own position<\/b>. Ignorance of<br \/>\ntheory usually permits one to remain unaware that one holds a position, one of<br \/>\nmany possible positions, a position that can change. Ignorance of theory blinds<br \/>\none to the knowledge that changing one&#8217;s position changes what one sees and how<br \/>\none sees it&quot; (11).<\/p>\n<p>&quot;And does it matter if the Native Americans re-create the whale hunt using<br \/>\nmodern <b>technology<\/b>? Radar and sonar to find the whales? Motorized boats to<br \/>\ncatch them? Harpoon canons that are much more accurate and have far greater<br \/>\nrange and power than harpoons thrown by hand?&quot; (3). <\/p>\n<p>&quot;For the practitioner, Stanley Fish&#8217;s old T-shirt with the question, <b>Sure<br \/>\nit works in practice but will it work in theory<\/b>? is an ironic description,<br \/>\nnot an in-joke&quot; (3).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Neel, Jasper. &quot;Reclaiming Our Theoretical Heritage: A Big Fish Tale.&quot; Olson 3-11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[174],"tags":[178,1015,1011,1012,288,867,1013,187,1016,417,216,1017,1014],"class_list":["post-7007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-writing_technol","tag-composition","tag-heritage","tag-jonah","tag-makah","tag-practice","tag-praxis","tag-romanticism","tag-technology","tag-theology","tag-theory","tag-tradition","tag-whaling","tag-wordsworth"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
