THOMPSON (Under the Direction of Marla Morris) ABSTRACT This dissertation is a pathography, my experience as a mother dwelling with illness which began because of my son‘s illness. The purpose of this dissertation is two-fold: to examine my Self as a mother dwelling with illness so that I may begin to work through repressed emotions and to further complicate the conversation begun by Marla Morris (2008) by illuminating the ill person‘s voice as one which is underrepresented in the canon. This dissertation is written autobiographically and analyzed psychoanalytically. The subjects of chaos, the Self, and motherhood are examined as they apply to my illness. In addition to psychoanalysis, this dissertation draws from illness narratives, pathographies, and other stories of illness as a way to collaborate voices within the illness community.

During this time, songs like "Dancing in the Street" and "What's Going On?" targeted social issues in America and created a voice for African-American people through their messages. Events like the Mississippi Freedom Summer and Bloody Thursday inspired the artists at Motown to create these songs. Influenced by the cultural and social circumstances of the Civil Rights Movement, the musical output of Motown Records between 1959 and 1972 evolved from a sole focus on entertainment in popular culture to a focus on motivating social change through music.

And deserving or not, guitarists have a reputation for having less-than-perfect time. But it’s not as if perfect meter makes you a perfect rhythm player. There’s something else. Something elusive. A swing, a feel, or a groove—you know it when you hear it, or feel it. Each player on this list has “it,” regardless of genre, and if there’s one lesson all of these players espouse it’s never take rhythm for granted. Ever. Deciding who made the list was not easy, however. In fact, at times it seemed downright impossible.

    Following the company to the West Coast, Jamerson spent the last ten years of his life trying to recapture the glory he had experienced in Detroit. But as much as he tried, the scene was foreign to him, and without the emotional support of Hitsville’s Funk Brothers, Jamerson faltered. Alco­ holism and emotional prob­ lems diminished his talents, eventually ending his life in 1983. At Jamerson’s funeral, Stevie Wonder eulogized how James had changed the fabric of his and all of our lives. Certainly, the leg­ endary bassist’s imprint has been indelibly etched onto our popular culture: Every time you’ve ever partied to a Motown record, that seis­ mic event making your feet move was James Jamerson’s bass.

Williamson IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Kirt Wilson, Adviser May, 2013 © Kasi Williamson, 2013 i Acknowledgments I count myself lucky to have worked among such smart and generous teachers, colleagues, friends, and family members. I am indebted to their wisdom, kindness, and support. First, I must thank my husband, Rob Schlette, whose daily support and encouragement over many years enabled me to complete this project. My adviser, Kirt Wilson, made this dissertation better and more focused at every step. I have learned from his insights, but also from his example as an exceptional scholar, a challenging teacher, and a generous mentor. I am grateful to have been his student. I am also grateful to the members of my committee. The thoughtful questions and observations of Richard Graff, Mary Vavrus, and Art Walzer urged me toward greater clarity and precision in my critical language and theoretical claims. For my work to receive such attention and care from these remarkable scholars is a true gift. I also want to thank Karlyn Kohrs Campbell, whose standards for rigor and elegance will always guide my work, and Ed Schiappa, whose mentorship has been instrumental to my professional growth. Bea Dehler deserves special acknowledgement for all that she has done to support me and so many other Communication Studies graduate students. Joe Messina and Mary Ann Klein were the professors who helped me to find my voice; they became friends who have shown me what it means to be scholars in community.
