    Art on the Supply Side: Neoliberalism and Public Funding for the Arts

    The paper analyzes recent constructions of American public policy regarding funding for the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). Arthur MacEwan’s study of neoliberalism functions as a framework for understanding broad historical shifts in the perceived role of the State in funding the Arts on a national scale

    while the primary investigation presents the suppression of Body Count’s song

    Cop Killer

    as a case through which to assess the viability of the neoliberal rationale for federal arts funding. The paper contends that the neoliberal approach to public arts has lead to funding rationales that construct art as a commodity subordinate to the principles of supply and demand

    while limiting

    if not denying

    the constitutive role of art as political speech in the life of a democracy. Further

    the case study suggests that Keynesian and post-Keynesian economic models apply more cohesively than the neoliberal model as a bona fide rationale for federal arts funding

    where active federal arts policy is vital both in the creation and maintenance of a stable climate for the production of capital and in the proper functioning of a representative mode of government.

    Art on the Supply Side: Neoliberalism and Public Funding for the Arts

    This article examines the origins of the prose poem in respect to Charles Baudelaire and posits formal relationships with the emerging Modernist aesthetic.

    High and Low: Photographic Strategies in Paris Spleen

    Presents a literary criticism of the short story collection \"Unspeakable Practices

    Unnatural Acts\" by Donald Barthelme. It outlines the portrayal of men and masculinity in the collection and comments on the role of sexual desire in the literature. Specific stories are analyzed

    including \"The Dolt\" and \"See the Moon.\" The plot and characters of the stories are described and the victimization of men and representation of women in the stories are also analyzed.

    Reconstructing Masculinity: Donald Barthelme's \"Unspeakable Practices

    Unnatural Acts.\"

    As a Visiting Affiliate Professor of Writing in the Writing Department at Loyola University in Maryland

    I strive to be a versatile colleague with a variety teaching interests that span creative writing

    composition and literary studies. \n \nMy near-term goals are to find a full-time position in teaching

    writing

    or creative development.\n\nSpecialties: My academic and scholarly writing engages Modernism and modernity. In particular

    my research focuses the legacies of the Harlem Renaissance; the effects of Surrealism on twentieth century American arts and letters

    and modern and post-modern epistemologies. I am currently working on a historical novel that bridges my academic and creative interests through a dramatic exploration of the role of fine arts in the Cold War politics of the 1950s.
