  • The Unquiet Dead: Race and Violence in the “Post-Racial” United States
    The Unquiet Dead: Race and Violence in the “Post-Racial” United States J.E. Jed Murr A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Dr. Eva Cherniavsky, Chair Dr. Habiba Ibrahim Dr. Chandan Reddy Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English ©Copyright 2014 J.E. Jed Murr University of Washington Abstract The Unquiet Dead: Race and Violence in the “Post-Racial” United States J.E. Jed Murr Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Eva Cherniavksy English This dissertation project investigates some of the ways histories of racial violence work to (de)form dominant and oppositional forms of common sense in the allegedly “post-racial” United States. Centering “culture” as a terrain of contestation over common sense racial meaning, The Unquiet Dead focuses in particular on popular cultural repertoires of narrative, visual, and sonic enunciation to read how histories of racialized and gendered violence circulate, (dis)appear, and congeal in and as “common sense” in a period in which the uneven dispensation of value and violence afforded different bodies is purported to no longer break down along the same old racial lines. Much of the project is grounded in particular in the emergent cultural politics of race of the early to mid-1990s, a period I understand as the beginnings of the US “post-racial moment.” The ongoing, though deeply and contested and contradictory, “post-racial moment” is one in which the socio-cultural valorization of racial categories in their articulations to other modalities of difference and oppression is alleged to have undergone significant transformation such that, among other things, processes of racialization are understood as decisively delinked from racial violence.

  • LORD of WAR > Atop a Hillside in Liberia Overlooking an Impending
    MORALITTY IN: LORD OF WAR > Atop a hillside in Liberia overlooking an impending village massacre once the arms deal settles, Nicolas Cage's Yuri pleads to his conscience rattled brother Vitaly (Jared Leto), "It is none of our business!" Writer and Director Andrew Niccol's "Lord of War" is all about the big business of war, and the cost of selling one's soul. That lost soul is Yuri Orlov played masterfully by Nicolas Cage. Cage as Yuri also narrates the story. Niccol sets the warped and dark tone in the opening sequence of the manufacture of a bullet to its final destination—so to speak. Yuri comments that there is one firearm for every 12 people in the world. So the question is "How do we arm the other eleven?" Niccol's "Lord of War" is not so much a clever indictment of humanity, rather an acknowledgment of perhaps humanity's darker nature. In a poignant and chilling realization for Yuri (Cage) he says, "They say that 'evil prevails when good men fail to act.' It should be 'evil prevails'." I don't think this is cynicism on Niccol's part, rather only stating what is so given all of history and now. He certainly makes us think from the inside out. Yuri Orlov (Cage) is from a Ukrainian family in Little Odessa, NY. As a young man he has an epiphany witnessing a Russian mafia hit. Being an arms dealer is the path to success. He finds that he also has an innate gift for his chosen profession.

  • Screen Othellos Sujata Iyengar, University of Georgia Screen Media
    Intermediated Bodies and Bodies of Media: Screen Othellos Sujata Iyengar, University of Georgia Screen media both appropriate and remediate Othello. Appropriation brings Shakespeare into dialogue with adaptors and audience; evaluating a performance as an appropriation weighs adapted text and origin text as independent artworks, each of which uncovers something hitherto unnoticed about the other.1 In Remediation, Jay David Boulter and Richard Grusin argue that the specific material, technological, and user-centered capabilities (the ‘affordances’) of a so-called ‘new’ medium build upon but also attempt to erase the media that preceded them. Thus photographers adopted and adapted the conventions of painting, even as they argued that photography could represent the world more realistically than painting could; television ‘variety shows’ remediated music-hall or vaudeville; e-texts remediate both medieval scroll and printed book.2 Following Friedrich Kittler, media scholars have suggested that so-called new media don’t replace old ones but nudge them into a different niche in a particular ‘media ecology’;3 similarly, appropriations or remediations of Shakespeare do not replace Folio or Quarto texts or modern printed copies of the text but reframe aspects of even their perceived content as medium-specific. Jens Schröter suggests that we consider using the term ‘intermediality,’ rather than the words ‘remediation’ or even 1 I extend thanks to the editors of this volume for their comments and suggestions and to Katherine Rowe for the titular phrase.
