David R. Jarraway serves as Professor of American Literature & Culture within the Department of English at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Arts, currently on sabbatical for the 2018 Winter Session. His academic profile centers on modern American literary traditions with interdisciplinary connections to film studies and queer theory. His educational qualifications include: Ph.D. in English and American Literature from Brown University (1990) M.A. in English Language and Literature from University of Toronto (1977) B.Ed. from Lakehead University (1972) B.A. (Hons) from Lakehead University (1971) Professor Jarraway's research spans Modern American Poetry, Modern American Fiction, Classic American Film, Gender Studies, Queer Theory, and Literary Theory. He is renowned for contextualizing Wallace Stevens within unconventional frameworks including gay literature, Hollywood film noir (examining Hitchcock and Wilder), and Harlem Renaissance fiction. His theoretical approach integrates Deleuzian philosophy to analyze dissident subjectivity and the deconstruction of self-presence in American writing, revealing how identity operates within spatialized difference. Publication trends demonstrate consistent engagement with American literary modernism through evolving theoretical lenses. His work progresses from close textual analysis of Stevens toward broader cultural intersections with cinema and African-American literature, increasingly employing Deleuze-Guattari frameworks alongside psychoanalytic and gender theories. This trajectory highlights persistent themes of subjective displacement, authorial identity, and the destabilization of narrative presence across poetic and cinematic forms. Scientific Awards: No scientific awards documented in source materials Advising and Grants: Source materials indicate extensive graduate course instruction including specialized seminars on Deleuze and film noir, but provide no details regarding supervised students or research funding. His teaching history reflects deep engagement with theoretical frameworks through courses like "Lady Sings Deleuze" and "American Psycho," suggesting mentorship in critical theory applications despite absent explicit supervision records.
