How’s Business by Don Blyly I thought that the worst thing about Memorial Day would be the forecasted high of 100 degrees. But I woke up Monday morning and turned on the news to see that the former Roberts Shoes building at the corner of Chicago and Lake had burnt down overnight. The building, built in 1895, had all retail on the first floor and two upper floors of spaces rented out for art studios, recording studios, and a dance studio on the third floor. The fire started in the basement around 10:30 Sunday night. One of the artists on the second floor smelled the smoke and went from door to door telling the other artists to get out of the building, so no lives were lost. But many of the artists lost up to a decade of work. By the time the fire department arrived the wooden floors of the first floor was not trustworthy enough for the firemen to be able to fight the fire from inside the building. so they poured massive amounts of water on the building from the outside. After a few hours they got the fire put out, but the roof on the east side of the building had collapsed all the way down to the first floor and the roof on the west side had collapsed down to the second floor. Around 5 am the collapsed roof re-ignited, and the fire department had to put it out again. I had been planning to go to the Uncles for a few hours on Memorial Day to work on some mail orders and to catch up on some paperwork, so I loaded Ecko into the car and tried to get to the store around 8 am. A four block section of Lake Street was blocked off, a three block section of Chicago was blocked off, and some other nearly blocks were blocked off. I finally found a parking spot three blocks from the store, and Ecko and I hiked over to the Uncles. There was still some smoke in the air, but the smoke was very bad inside the Uncles. The fire was south of the Uncles, the wind was out of the south all night, and the roof-top air conditioners at the Uncles are designed to compare the temperature of the outside air to the inside air. If the air conditioner is turned on, and the outside air is cooler than the inside air, the air condition pumps the cooler outside air into the building instead of circulating the inside air across the heat exchange coils. I went to the roof to change the air filters. Uncle Hugo’s filters were merely very dirty; Uncle Edgar’s filters were completely black and crusty. While the new air filters tried to clean the air in the Uncles, Ecko and I walked up to take a closer look at the ruins. The fire had not spread to the single story building to the north (formerly Sunny’s bar and restaurant), but the front of the building was blackened from the smoke. It also had not spread to the single story building across the alley. But the Roberts Shoes building was obviously a total loss, with three stories of brick still standing, surrounding the heaps of rubble. We went back to the Uncles, I packed some mail orders, but decided the smoky smell was too bad to spend time doing paperwork, so we left more quickly than I had planned. As we walked back to the car, I saw a police car parked at the blockade at Chicago and 28th, with a officer inside with his windows rolled down. I went over to talk with him about the fire, and about my being able to get my car to my business. He said that the Roberts Shoe building was such a hazard that the city would probably be taking it down before the end of the day. He said that the former Sunny’s building probably had so much smoke and water damage that it would probably also come down eventually. And he said that it would not be a problem for me to drive my car around the “street closed” signs to get to my business. The next morning I heard on the news that the city had given the owner of the Roberts Shoes building one day to consult with structural engineers to see if it would be possible to repair the ruins. I suspect that everybody knew that this would be impossible, but the city couldn’t find any company that could assemble a crew on Memorial Day to take down the building in 100 degree heat, so they gave the owner the option while they arranged for the building to be torn down on Tuesday. Tuesday mid-afternoon the utility people came in to disconnect the power cables, the gas line, and the water line to the building, and late Tuesday the demolition began. They started at the alley side of the building, and some of the debris fell onto the roof of the single story building across the alley, penetrated the roof, and burst some pipes (I assume pipes about the ceiling for a sprinkler system), causing extensive damage. Late Wednesday afternoon all of the brick walls had been knocked down and some of the rubble had been hauled away. A chain-link fence was put up around the site, with the remaining smokey rubble in piles up to five foot tall, and the streets were opened again. The Roberts Shoes building has been an important part of the neighborhood for a long time. Roberts Shoes anchored the corner for 77 years. I read a report that Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was written in the building. Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre spent some time there. A fundraiser was quickly started to help the many artists who lost years of work and all their equipment to the fire (and many of them did not have insurance). One of our people wandered up to the corner while the building was being demolished and reported that the real estate speculators were gathering like vultures, talking about what they might be able to build there and how cheaply they might be able to get the land. During the first round of demolition, they found the file cabinet of the guy who rented the dance studio, very battered but not burnt, so he was able to recover his passport and his business records. Later in the day, they also found his safe. Most of the other tenants were not so lucky. Four weeks after the fire (and after many thunderstorms had soaked the rubble), the insurance company finally moved in to try to determine the cause of the fire. They brought in heavy equipment to carefully dig through the rubble, looking for clues, and spraying treated water from a tanker truck which wiped out the smoky smell for about a month. The owner expected the insurance company to then hauling away about 100 truck loads of rubble and then bring in about 100 truck loads the dirt to fill the hole. Instead, the insurance company took away the heavy equipment after two days, leaving all the rubble in place. About a month after the insurance inspectors went away, “Site Available for Development” signs appeared on the chain link fence around the rubble. The city has wanted for decades to clear away all the single story property on this block of Chicago Ave.

[email protected] [my preferred method] 812-335-9868 (home) This syllabus is available in alternative formats upon request. Overview The vampire is one of the most popular and enduring images in the world, giving rise to hundreds of monster movies around the globe every year, not to mention novels, short stories, plays, TV shows, and commercial merchandise. Yet the Western vampire image that we know from the film, television, and literature of today is very different from its eastern European progenitor. Nina Auerbach has said that "every age creates the vampire that it needs." In this course we will explore the eastern European origins of the vampire, similar entities in other cultures that predate them, and how the vampire in its look, nature, vulnerabilities, and threat has changed over the centuries. This approach will provide us with the means to learn about the geography, village and urban cultures, traditional social structure, and religions of eastern Europe; the nature and manifestations of Evil and the concept of Limited Good; physical, temporal, and societal boundaries and ritual passage that accompany them; and major historical and intellectual periods (the settlement of Europe, the Age of Reason, Romanticism, Neo-classicism, the Enlightenment, the Victorian era, up to today).

  • The Ballad of Black Tom
    Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research journal.finfar.org A Tale of Two Red Hooks: LaValle’s Rewriting of Lovecraft’s “The Horror at Red Hook” in The Ballad of Black Tom Josué Morales Domínguez Abstract: This article analyses and compares the representations of the monster in H. P. Lovecraft’s “The Horror at Red Hook” (1927) and Victor LaValle’s The Ballad of Black Tom (2016), the latter being a rewriting of the former, both rooted in the Weird tale. The aim of this article is to illuminate the process through which LaValle turns Lovecraft’s narrative into one where racism becomes evident. The framework for this analysis is Cohen’s “Monster Culture (Seven Theses)” (1996), which argues that monsters are bodies of text that have an iterative nature; each iteration adds new layers of meaning to the monstrous body. Whereas Lovecraft’s text arouses racist fears, LaValle’s analyses how these fears turn the racial other into a monster. Keywords: H. P. Lovecraft, Victor LaValle, Monster, The Horror at Red Hook, The Ballad of Black Tom. 1. Introduction H. P. Lovecraft has become an influential figure in modern literature, as demonstrated by the amount of scholarly attention the author has gained in the fields of speculative literature and posthumanist philosophy (see especially Sederholm & Weinstock 5–7), but also by a vast list of Lovecraft-inspired media that range from movies to board games. Lovecraft’s current importance has prompted a discussion about his stance on issues like racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism (Moore xi–xii).

  • Afrofuturism and Generational Trauma in N. K. Jemisin's
    Department of English Afrofuturism and Generational Trauma in N. K. Jemisin‘s Broken Earth Trilogy Imogen Bagnall Master‘s Degree Thesis Literature Spring 2021 Supervisor: Joakim Wrethed Abstract N. K. Jemisin‘s Broken Earth Trilogy explores the methods and effects of systemic oppression. Orogenes are historically oppressed and dehumanised by the wider society of The Stillness. In this thesis, I will be exploring the ways in which trauma experienced by orogenes is repeated through generations, as presented through Essun‘s varied and complex relationships with her children, and with the Fulcrum Guardian Schaffa. The collective trauma of orogenes is perpetuated through different direct and indirect actions in a repetitive cycle, on societal, interpersonal and familial levels. My reading will be in conversation with theories of trauma literature and cultural trauma, and will be informed by Afrofuturist cultural theory. Although science fiction and fantasy encourage the imagination, worldbuilding is inherently influenced by lived experiences. It could thus be stated that the trauma experienced by orogenes is informed by the collective trauma of African-Americans, as experienced by N. K. Jemisin. Afrofuturism is an aesthetic mode and critical lens which prioritises the imagining of a liberated future. Writing science fiction and fantasy through an Afrofuturist aesthetic mode encourages authors to explore forms of collective trauma as well as methods of healing. Jemisin creates an explicit parallel between the traumatic African-American experience and that of orogenes. Afrofuturist art disrupts linear time and addresses past and present trauma through the imagining of the future. The Broken Earth Trilogy provides a blueprint for the imagined liberation of oppressed groups.

  • MINOR HISTORIES Statements, Conversations, Proposals MIKE KELLEY Edited by John C
    KELLEY MINOR HISTORIES Statements, Conversations, Proposals MIKE KELLEY edited by John C. Welchman What John C. Welchman calls the “blazing network of focused conflations” from which Mike Kelley’s styles are generated is on display in all its diversity in this second volume of his writings. The first volume, Foul Perfection, contained thematic essays and writings about other artists; this collection concentrates on Kelley’s own work, ranging from texts in “voices” that grew out of scripts for performance pieces to expository critical and autobiographical writings. Minor Histories organizes Kelley’s writings into five sections. “Statements” consists of twenty pieces produced MINOR between 1984 and 2002 (most of which were written to accompany exhibitions), including “Ajax,” which draws on MIKE KELLEY Homeric epic, Colgate-Palmolive advertising, and Longinus to present its eponymous hero; “Some Aesthetic High Points,” an exercise in autobiography that counters the standard artist bio included in catalogs and press releases; and a sequence of “creative writings” that use mass cultural tropes in concert with high art mannerisms—approximating in prose the visu- MINOR HISTORIES al styles that characterize Kelley’s artwork. “Video Statements and Proposals” are introductions to videos made by Kelley and other artists, including Paul McCarthy and Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose. “Image-Texts” offers writings that accom- Statements, Conversations, Proposals pany or are part of artworks and installations. This section includes “A Stopgap Measure,” Kelley’s zestful millennial essay in social satire, and “Meet John Doe,” a collage of appropriated texts. The section “Architecture” features a discussion of Kelley’s Educational Complex (1995) and an interview in which he reflects on the role of architecture in his work.
