Abstract: This article discusses both verbal and non-verbal communication in James’s first novel Watch and Ward (1871), more specifically in the three final chapters set in New York. In a novel in which other locations remain largely undefined, James’s portrayal of New York—his first extensive fictional use of his birthplace—stands out as a powerful evocation of a nightmarish urban environment wherein the heroine, Nora Lambert, feels under threat from the moment of her arrival. There, men, women, and things all convey the brutal message that relationships are purely transactional and human beings are nothing but commodities.

Urban Talk: Communication across Class and Gender in Watch and Ward

城市对话：《守望与警戒》中的阶级与性别交流

Abstract: This essay explores the politics of community and hospitality in Henry James’s “The Aspern Papers.” Drawing on studies of hospitality, developed and inspired by Jacques Derrida, it considers the gestures of hospitality occurring in the story and shows that the bond of the Misses Bordereau is challenged by conditional terms of reciprocity that cause rifts in their community. Looking also at some of James’s essays on Venice, the essay argues that the novella provides insight into the possibility or not of domestic and national hospitality within the contexts of property ownership, mobility, and tourism and places women at the center of the confrontation between self and other, community and alterity.
