Due to the recency of social media over the last decade, novel opportunities now exist to study disaster preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation through in-situ accounts. The author characterizes immediate disaster stages based upon overarching themes identified by Twitter users impacted by Hurricane Matthew in Savannah, Georgia. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the author identifies the frequency of tweets within each immediate disaster stage, as well as the context of each tweet. In addition, the author uses individual social media narratives to gauge the resident’s story through the duration of Hurricane Matthew. The author’s findings suggest the continuing effectiveness of foundational disaster literature through both quantities and qualitative methods. Results emphasize prior studies that address residents’ narratives during a disaster event. The further incorporation of social media proves to be an additional outlet for research in the meteorological field. iviii i TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

In yet another new neighborhood, Sadie is befriended by a group of teens seemingly plagued by the same sense of tragedy that shrouds the Quinn family. Sadie quickly falls for Trenton, a young black man, in a town and family that forbids interracial relationships. As their relationship develops and is ultimately exposed, the Quinn family secrets unravel and Sadie is left questioning all that she thought she knew about herself, her family, and the world. iii Acknowledgements To my incredible family: Jeremy, Tyler, Koralynn, Damon, and Ivan for your support, encouragement, sacrifice, and patience.

  • Personal Narratives and Public Trauma in Post-Katrina New Orleans
    “They probably got us all on the news”: Personal Narratives and Public Trauma in Post-Katrina New Orleans DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Katherine Greene Parker Horigan Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Amy Shuman, Advisor Professor Ray Cashman Professor Wendy Hesford Professor Maurice Stevens Copyright by Katherine Greene Parker Horigan 2013 Abstract Although stories and images of suffering during Hurricane Katrina saturated public discourse in 2005, the fundamental failures of communication that characterize this catastrophe remain undertheorized—especially the ease with which some stories have been accepted and others ignored. My dissertation brings together representations of the storm’s darkest moments, narrated by eyewitnesses, then shared in a broad spectrum of genres and rhetorical situations. Examining contexts of production, circulation, and reception, I demonstrate that the ways in which survivors’ personal stories are shared with larger audiences can either confirm or confound stereotypical representations of the narrators’ communities, with material consequences for their immediate aid and ongoing recovery. The approaches that drive my analysis include ethnography of communication and narrative performance, critical discourse analysis, rhetorical analysis of life writing, critical race theory, and critical theories of trauma. This project examines Katrina in a new light, focusing on the representational tactics of survivors and the processes by which their narratives are recognized or rejected. Beyond that, this study contributes to current theoretical understandings about how different communicative contexts and rhetorical situations shape the knowledge that is created about trauma and recovery.
