How do oral forms that have existed for generations reinvent themselves to remain valid in a high-tech world, in which communication is affected through cell phone and email? Who owns a song that has grown over decades, in and through the voices of a community? And what are the intellectual copyrights of a street performer when his act is posted on You Tube?

At some level they all engage, however, the activity of the self's struggle to demarcate its distinguished and distinguishable space. This is the "activity" of the protagonist of A Saloonkeeper's Daughter, of the novel's reception, and on one level it is also the activity of American literature and its history. …
