  • Marriage, Violence, and the Nation in the American Literary West
    This page intentionally left blank MARRIAGE, VIOLENCE, AND THE NATION IN THE AMERICAN LITERARY WEST In Marriage, Violence, and the Nation in the American Literary West, William R. Handley examines literary interpretations of the western American past. Handley argues that although recent scholarship provides a narrative of western history that counters the optimistic story of frontier individualism by focusing on the victims of con- quest, twentieth-century American fiction tells a different story of intra-ethnic violence, surrounding marriages and families. He ex- amines works of historiography, as well as writing by Zane Grey, Willa Cather, Wallace Stegner, and Joan Didion among others, to argue that these works highlight white Americans’ anxiety about what happens to American “character” when domestic enemies such as Indians and Mormon polygamists, against whom the nation had defined itself in the nineteenth century, no longer threaten its homes. Handley explains that once its enemies are gone, imperia- lism brings violence home in retrospective narratives that allegorize national pasts and futures through intimate relationships. . is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Southern California.

    REHTINKING RESISTANCE: RACE, GENDER, AND PLACE IN THE FICTIVE AND REAL GEOGRAPHIES OF THE AMERICAN WEST by TRACEY DANIELS LERBERG DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington May 2016 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Stacy Alaimo, Supervising Professor Neill Matheson Christopher Morris Kenneth Roemer Cedrick May, Texas Christian University Abstract Rethinking Resistance: Race, Gender, and Place in the Fictive and Real Geographies of the American West by Tracey Daniels Lerberg, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016 Supervising Professor: Stacy Alaimo This project traces the history of the American West and its inhabitants through its literary, cinematic and cultural landscape, exploring the importance of public and private narratives of resistance, in their many iterations, to the perceived singular trajectory of white masculine progress in the American west. The project takes up the calls by feminist and minority scholars to broaden the literary history of the American West and to unsettle the narrative of conquest that has been taken up to enact a particular kind of imaginary perversely sustained across time and place. That the western heroic vision resonates today is perhaps no significant revelation; however, what is surprising is that their forward echoes pulsate in myriad directions, cascading over the stories of alternative voices, that seem always on the verge of slipping away from our collective memories, of ii being conquered again and again, of vanishing. But a considerable amount of recovery work in the past few decades has been aimed at revising the ritualized absences in the North American West to show that women, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans and other others were never absent from this particular (his)story.

  • Place Images of the American West in Western Films
    PLACE IMAGES OF THE AMERICAN WEST IN WESTERN FILMS by TRAVIS W. SMITH B.S., Kansas State University, 2003 M.A., Kansas State University, 2005 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Geography College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Abstract Hollywood Westerns have informed popular images of the American West for well over a century. This study of cultural, cinematic, regional, and historical geography examines place imagery in the Western. Echoing Blake’s (1995) examination of the novels of Zane Grey, the research questions analyze one hundred major Westerns to identify (1) the spatial settings (where the plot of the Western transpires), (2) the temporal settings (what date[s] in history the Western takes place), and (3) the filming locations. The results of these three questions illuminate significant place images of the West and the geography of the Western. I selected a filmography of one hundred major Westerns based upon twenty different Western film credentials. My content analysis involved multiple viewings of each Western and cross-referencing film content like narrative titles, American Indian homelands, fort names, and tombstone dates with scholarly and popular publications. The Western spatially favors Apachería, the Borderlands and Mexico, and the High Plains rather than the Pacific Northwest. Also, California serves more as a destination than a spatial setting. Temporally, the heart of the Western beats during the 1870s and 1880s, but it also lives well into the twentieth century. The five major filming location clusters are the Los Angeles / Hollywood area and its studio backlots, Old Tucson Studios and southeastern Arizona, the Alabama Hills in California, Monument Valley in Utah and Arizona, and the Santa Fe region in New Mexico.

JOHNSTONE IDYLWILD, GA. A FOREWORD. During President Washington's administration, at a banquet of the notables at Richmond, a young man, John Randolph of Roanoke, was called on for sentiment. Randolpl1 arose, raised his glass, and said : "George Washington, may he be damned"- Instantly there was a howl of protest, a threatening move- ment. Randolph calmly waited; then continued- -"if he signs Jay's Treaty!" There was a shout of approval. I have somewhat to say. Hear me through, then howl, or shout, as you may feel. MEMORANDA The crucial period in which the premeditated schemes of the fanatics were put into operations, so as to inaugurate actual war, wa-:s from March 4th, to July 4th, 1861; before Congress was allowed to meet, to consider it.

  • Unofficial-Archive-V
    [email protected] Version 3 for Thrasher’s Wheat 2 April 2018 FOREWORD This document attempts to provide as complete a catalogue as possible of songs written or performed by Neil Young which do not appear on his officially released material and media. “Official” in this case means released through an authorized record company. The catalogue will therefore include much material which has already been released on unofficial bootleg media or other non-commercial recordings. It also includes a listing of unreleased songs performed by Neil Young which were written by other artists and which may therefore have been released on their officially released media. As far as I know, it is the most comprehensive 0 listing of its kind, though the publication of further official Neil Young Archive material can at any time change its accuracy. Many entries here will presumably automatically become part of his “officially released material”, and I will try to update what will (hopefully!) become an ever shorter document as time goes on. I am making this information available in the public domain for Neil’s fans. It has always been intended for it to be a “community venture”, a kind of Neilopedia, and I invite everyone to join in with feedback, input, corrections, suggestions and of course new content. If for any reason you make use of it in publications of any kind, please do give me a credit, just as I have tried to give credit to those sources I have drawn upon. It is good for the ego! Please let me know if you know of any other sources which I can include or cooperate with in future.
