  • Toward a Theory of the Dark Fantastic: the Role of Racial Difference in Young Adult Speculative Fiction and Media
    Journal of Language and Literacy Education Vol. 14 Issue 1—Spring 2018 Toward a Theory of the Dark Fantastic: The Role of Racial Difference in Young Adult Speculative Fiction and Media Ebony Elizabeth Thomas Abstract: Humans read and listen to stories not only to be informed but also as a way to enter worlds that are not like our own. Stories provide mirrors, windows, and doors into other existences, both real and imagined. A sense of the infinite possibilities inherent in fairy tales, fantasy, science fiction, comics, and graphic novels draws children, teens, and adults from all backgrounds to speculative fiction – also known as the fantastic. However, when people of color seek passageways into &the fantastic, we often discover that the doors are barred. Even the very act of dreaming of worlds-that-never-were can be challenging when the known world does not provide many liberatory spaces. The dark fantastic cycle posits that the presence of Black characters in mainstream speculative fiction creates a dilemma. The way that this dilemma is most often resolved is by enacting violence against the character, who then haunts the narrative. This is what readers of the fantastic expect, for it mirrors the spectacle of symbolic violence against the Dark Other in our own world. Moving through spectacle, hesitation, violence, and haunting, the dark fantastic cycle is only interrupted through emancipation – transforming objectified Dark Others into agentive Dark Ones. Yet the success of new narratives fromBlack Panther in the Marvel Cinematic universe, the recent Hugo Awards won by N.K. Jemisin and Nnedi Okorafor, and the blossoming of Afrofuturistic and Black fantastic tales prove that all people need new mythologies – new “stories about stories.” In addition to amplifying diverse fantasy, liberating the rest of the fantastic from its fear and loathing of darkness and Dark Others is essential.

The dawn of a new age of supremacy for humanity beckons. Gleaming citadels of marble and gold celebrate the many victories of the Emperor, as system after system is brought back under his control.

They are unstoppable and magnificent, the pinnacle of the Emperor’s genetic experimentation, while the Space Marines themselves are the mightiest human warriors the galaxy has ever known, each capable of besting a hundred normal men or more in combat.

  • Black Institutions and the Rise of Student Activism In
    SHELTER IN A TIME OF STORM: BLACK COLLEGES AND THE RISE OF STUDENT ACTIVISM IN JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jelani Manu-Gowon Favors, B.A., M.A. The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Warren Van Tine, Adviser Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Co-Adviser Leslie Alexander William Nelson Jr. Approved by Adviser Graduate Program in History Co-Adviser Graduate Program in History Copyright by Jelani M. Favors ABSTRACT The most underdeveloped area of study concerning the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s is the effect of Black student activism during the explosive decade. The field is currently dominated by two-dimensional studies that define student activism under the banner of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), or the Black Studies campaigns on white college campuses in the latter half of the decade. Assessing student protests merely through this lens yields a narrow view of this generation of activists. One cause of our failure to identify these students is that scholars of the Civil Rights Movement have ignored the very environment in which the majority of student activists lived, learned, socialized, and ultimately revolted. Analyses of Black colleges invariably conclude that they were paternalistic and their curriculums were conformist, if not geared toward assimilation. Students from these all-Black institutions in the South succeeded in their public and private assault against the policies of Jim Crow and at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement they vaulted the struggle for human rights to unprecedented levels.

By Lyndsey Erin Shelton Under the mentorship of Dr. Darin H. Van Tassell ABSTRACT It is a widely accepted notion that a child can only be called stupid for so long before they believe it, can only be treated in a particular way for so long before that is the only way that they know. Why is that notion never applied to how we treat, address, and present religion and the religious to children and young adults? In recent years, questions have been continuously brought up about how we portray violence, sexuality, gender, race, and many other issues in popular media directed towards young people, particularly video games.

THOUGH THE WORLD MAY CLAMOR FOR THE HEALING POWER OF JIM DOWNING... ...IT WILL SOON COWER AT THE FEARSOME IMAGE OF SPAWN! Spawn221.indd 2 6/14/12 11:04 AM PREVIOUSLY IN SPAWN Following his defeat of Malebolgia’s Earthly vessel, Jim’s attention turns toward piecing together the final mysteries of his previous life – a life tied closely to key events and characters from throughout the Spawn universe. Using half-remembered events as a guide, Jim starts his search for answers at an abandoned facility in Argentina, just as a team of mercenaries attempts to wipe the site of any useful data. Someone wants Jim’s past to stay buried. Later, Jim once again steps in front of the media to make a special announcement – “Rat City” is no more, to be replaced by an all-new, revitalized city district, though Jim’s full intent with the site remains 0:0:0:7 to be seen. Jim Downing (Spawn) – A man whose past is shrouded in mystery, and connected intimately to the very fabric of the Spawn mythos, Jim is the world’s newest Hellspawn… and so much more. Having spent years in a deep coma, Jim’s main drive is piecing together the fragments of the man he was, in an effort to discover the man he truly is. The Program – A clandestine military operation with deep- rooted ties to events from throughout Spawn’s 20-year exis- tence.
