Owens The spellcheckcT on my computer does not recognize "placelessness" as a word, and it is not in the unabridged dictionary. However, an internet search pulled 2,000 hits for the tenn, and the meaning is readily comprehended. "Placelessness" is a mental response to a generic environment. It can mean disorientation, caused by the disappearance of landmarks, or alienation, resulting from peoples' dislike of their surroundings. It describes a place with­ out heritage, one that lacks identity or is artificial and meaningless. Edward Relph coined the tenn in 1976 in Place and Placelessness, a study of envi­ ronmental philosophy. That same year, Yi-Fu Tuan, a geographer, founded the discipline of Human (i.e. "Psycho") Geography by publishing Space and Place: The Perspective ofExperience. Tuan explored how people feel about the "where" they inhabit; how they become atcached to homes, neighbor­ hoods, and nations; and how thesc feelings overlap into myth or the experi­ ence of the sacred. Other books followed, like Cosmos and Hearth, The Necessity for Ruins, The Poetics of Space, and Postmodern Geographies. Authors applied Placelessness to fields as diverse as theology, psychology, anthropology, literature, and theater. Concerns about Placelessncss also attached themselves to historic preservation. For example, in 1999, William Leach published Country of Exiles: The Destruction of Place in American Life. Leach depicted "a vast landscape of the temporary" in which fungible executives, itinerant managers, cross-trained employees, and hourly workers float through the landscape like disembodied phantoms. Most want continu­ ity and stability, but the realities of the mass-culcure economy make that increasingly difficult to attain. Meanwhile, towns and cities grow ever more generic, sporting the same corporate logos in every business district and the same housing in every neighborhood. What remains to distinguish one place from another? I Of course, worries about the obliteration ofAmerican landmarks pre-date the discovery of "placelessness" as an intellectual phenomenon. This article discusses the merits of historic preservation and identifies several restoration categories. Nationally known prototypes will be presented, then the emphasis will be on East Texas. Our region has great resources for preservation, but its people lack vision. Many East Texans seldom travel to places where historic preservation is practiced, so they discollnt the potential of the built environ­ ment. This article's focus on the achievements of East Texas preservationists is intended to stimulate a greater awareness of what could be accomplished "right here!" Placeless Geography, according to Ingolf Vogeler, occurs when "build­ ings that are something are being replaced by nothing." Vogeler defines some- Jeffrey Owens teaches histvry al Tyler Junior Cnlle/?e. 4 EAST TEXAS HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION thing buildings as those that arc "distinctive, unrepeatable, and rooted in time and place." The idea that some buildings are more meaningful than others, due to their age, style, or method of construction, is fundamental to preserva­ tionists. Paul Fussell, in a book ealled Class, argued that the American mld­ dIe class suffers from "rootlessness," moving at the beck and call of corpora­ tions, constantly fearing the loss ofjohs and familiar envlronments. Old hous­ es and antiques, or at least tasteful imitations, lend an air of permanence. The prosperous but rootless, living with instability. seek permanence through sym­ bols of the past. 2 lames Kunstler. in The Geography ofNowhere. veers into actual hatred for the placeless landscape.

  • Horny Toads and Ugly Chickens: a Bibliography on Texas in Speculative Fiction
    HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page Dellwood Press Bryan, Texas June 2010 1 HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page In this bibliography I have compiled a list of science fiction, fantasy and horror novels that are set in Texas. I have mentioned several short stories and a few poems and plays in this bibliography, but I did not make any sustained attempt to identify such works. I have not listed works of music, though many songs exist which deal with these subjects. Most entries are briefly annotated, though I well understand that it is impossible to accurately describe a book in only one or two sentences. As one reads science fiction and fantasy novels set in Texas, certain themes repeat themselves. There are, of course, numerous works about ghosts, vampires, and werewolves. Authors often write about invasions of the state, not only by creatures from outer space, but also by foreigners, including the Russians, the Germans, the Mexicans, the Japanese and even the Israelis. One encounters familiar plot devices, such as time travel, in other books. Stories often depict a Texas devastated by some apocalypse – sometimes it is global warming, sometimes World War III has been fought, and usually lost, by the United States, and, in one case, the disaster consisted of a series of massive earthquakes which created ecological havoc and destroyed most of the region's infrastructure. The mystique of the old west has long been an alluring subject for authors; even Jules Verne and Bram Stoker used Texans in stories.

Carefully Chosen by Mamie, to titillate your mind Your mission, should you accept this challenge is to identify our mystery People and places. Each wishes to remain anonymous, secret, covert, clandestine, obscure or enigmatic. But you, armed with well-hidden clues can claim a victory for mankind by exposing their identity to the entire World. Let the game begin. Written by Emmett D. (Don) Mason, Kentucky Colonel Mason’s Missives, 4/1/17, Volume 19, “a tale of two mysteries” 1 A tale of two mysteries. Forward A little known farm town situated on the Kentucky shore line of the Ohio River plays a large part in the development of our story. The town, known to a few as Rabbit Hash was formed in the early 1800’s and continues to thrive today. However, it wasn’t always like that, in the beginning the town was so small and poor that it didn’t have gravity or electricity until after the 1937 Great flood. The arrival of Gravity was most welcome as it made putting on your socks and pants every morning just a little bit easier; as well as going to do your business in the local two hole out house. Electricity wasn’t really essential since the residents couldn’t afford to pay for its service and didn’t own any electric appliances anyhow. Rabbit Hash and its people were extremely thankful to the great men like Sir Isaac Newton, Einstein and others for solving their Gravity problem.

  • Women in the West: Books and Ephemera from the Collection of Dorothy Sloan
    Women in the West: Books and Ephemera from the Collection of Dorothy Sloan Dorothy Sloan (1943-2021) is justly considered to be one of great scholar-booksellers of Western Americana, Texana, and Latin Americana. Dorothy Sloan Rare Books auction catalogues are recognized as models of their kind, and feature an unusually broad array of printed books, maps, manuscripts, and ephemera, and are particularly strong in 19th-century materials. In many instances, Sloan’s bibliographic descriptions have become the description of record. She began her career at John Howell in San Francisco, and thence to Jenkins Company in Austin. She issued her first rare book catalogue in 1984, and her first auction catalogue in 1994. Suffice it to say that as a woman, she was literally a pioneer in such an endeavor. Over the years she built a collection of Women in the West, which is described in the 29-page Inventory below. Here is a collection of both women authors, and women as the subject of historical and literary narrative. Most of the collection was kept in storage for the last twenty-eight years, awaiting cataloguing and eventual sale. As we all know, “Life” often interferes with our plans, particularly as we grow older. When Dorothy retired last year, we acquired the collection of Women in the West. We are pleased to offer it en bloc for the price of $7,200 which includes free shipping in the Continental United States. Of the 372 titles in the collection, nearly 25% are more than a century old. The earliest book in the collection is Sally Hastings’ Poems, on different subjects.
