  • 'Re-Borderisation' in the South-Western Novels of Ana Castillo and Cormac Mccarthy
    Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos, nº 12 (2007), pp. 21-37 ‘RE-BORDERISATION’ IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN NOVELS OF ANA CASTILLO AND CORMAC MCCARTHY. PETER CARR Swansea University, UK Two novels of the US/Mexican borderlands published in the early 1990s achieved notable mainstream success and critical acclaim –So Far From God by Ana Castillo (first published in 1993) and All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy (first published 1992). Here were two ostensibly very different South-Western novels which nevertheless managed to achieve a singular effect: in each case it was this novel that thrust an established, but limited-appeal, writer out of the gloom of academic readership and into the glare of mainstream literary celebrity. These texts, then, are crossover novels in two senses. They are of the margins in the sense that as novels of the borderlands they each deal with the interface of Mexican and Anglo cultures but they are also of the centre in that their multicultural narratives have been embraced by the mainstream. This paper argues two main points. The first is that the mainstream consumer-appeal of these novels –their successful commodification of multicultural images– actually relies upon the subtle repetition of myths of the borderlands in ways that that reinforce ethnic and cultural stereotypes. The second argument is that this process in the novels is part of a general mainstream ‘reborderization’ in the US in the early-to mid-1990s: a reactionary response to the perceived erosion of traditional concepts of national identity in an era dominated by post-modern trans- boundary forces exemplified by initiatives such as the North American Free Trade Agreement.

    WMS205: Introduction to Women’s Studies Kimberly L. Dennis, PhD Fall, 2010 TTh 3:30-4:45 e-mail: [email protected] Office: CFAC 121c Classroom: Olin Library, Room 260 Office hours: by appointment web.me.com/kim.dennis/WMS205F10 username: kdennis password: WMS205 What Is Women’s Studies? Women’s Studies, the academic branch of the feminist movement, seeks to redress the exclusion of women’s accomplishments and experiences from the traditional university curriculum. Women’s Studies is an inherently interdisciplinary field which both critiques and draws on the perspectives of the social sciences, the arts and humaniti1es, and the sciences, recognizing that no single subject can adequately address women’s diverse experiences. Women’s Studies scholars recognize that women’s experience has always been and continues to be influenced by a complex matrix of forces, including race, class, sexuality, age, ability, and many others. Course Description This course will explore the history and goals of the academic discipline of Women’s Studies and the social and political movement of feminism. We will begin with an investigation of a fundamental principle that shapes the thinking of both feminists and students of women’s issues: the difference between sex and gender and the social institutions through which male and female children are shaped into adult women and men. We will then complicate our understanding of the category ‘woman’ by exploring some of the ways one’s experience of ‘womanhood’ can be shaped by race and class. Next, we will examine the myths and facts surrounding violence against women and children.

  • Katherine Johnson 100Th Birthday
    RESOLUTION Honoring and recognizing Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson on her 100th birthday for her extraordinary bravery and brilliance in mathematics WHEREAS, Katherine Coleman Goble Johnson was born on August 26, 1918, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, the youngest of four children. Johnson showed brilliance in mathematics from a young age, and actually skipped several grades because of her intelligence. Unfortunately, her hometown only offered education for black students until eighth grade. However, her parents were invested in their children’s education and moved the family 125 miles away to Institute, West Virginia so their children could continue to attend school. Johnson attended West Virginia State High School and earned her diploma at age 14; and WHEREAS, After graduating high school, Katherine attended West Virginia State, a historically black college. As a student, she took every math course offered by the college. Multiple professors mentored her, including chemist and mathematician Angie Turner King and W. W. Schieffelin Claytor, the third African American to receive a PhD in math. Claytor even added new math courses just for Katherine. She graduated summa cum laude in 1937, with degrees in mathematics and French, at age 18; and WHEREAS, After graduating college, Katherine took on a teaching job at a black public school in Marion, Virginia. In 1939, after marrying her first husband, James Goble, Katherine left her teaching job and enrolled in a graduate math program at West Virginia University, making her the first African-American woman to attend graduate school there. In fact, she was one of three African American students selected to integrate the graduate school after the United States Supreme Court ruling Missouri ex rel.

However, the South tends to neglect and even to negate certain peoples and their identities. Women, especially lesbians, are often silenced within southern literature. Where Tennessee Williams and James Baldwin used literature to bridge gaps between gay men and the South, southern lesbian literature severely lacks a traceable history of such connections.
