  • Masculinity, Aging, Illness, and Death in Tombstone and Logan
    ORIGINAL SCIENTIFIC PAPER 791-51 DOI:10.5937/ ZRFFP48-18623 DANIJELA L J. P ETKOVIĆ1 UNIVERSITY OF N IŠ FACULTY OF P HILOSOPHY ENGLISH D EPARTMENT (IM)POSSIBLE MARTYRDOM: MASCULINITY, AGING, ILLNESS, AND DEATH IN TOMBSTONE AND LOGAN ABSTRACT. The title of this paper alludes to Hannah Arendt’s famous claim that in Nazi concentration camps martyrdom was made impossible, for the first time in Western history, by the utter anonymity and meaninglessness of inmates’ deaths (Arendt, 2000, p. 133): the paper, in contrast, examines two contem- porary films which, while intersecting normative/heroic masculinity with debilitating illness and death, allow for the possibility of martyrdom. Tomb- stone and Logan , directed by George P. Cosmatos and James Mangold respectively, depict the last days of such pop culture icons of masculinity as John Henry “Doc” Holliday and James Howlett, aka Logan/Wolverine. The films’ thematic focus on the (protracted) ending of life, which is evident not only in the storylines and dialogues but also in the numerous close-ups of emaciated, bleeding, scarred and prostrate male bodies, afflicted with tuberculosis and cancer-like adamantium poisoning, invites, first, a discus- sion of the relationship between the cinematic representations of normative and disabled masculinities. Specifically, since normative masculinity, as opposed to femininity, is synonymous with physical and mental strength, power and domination – including the control of one’s own body – the focus of this discussion is if, and how, the films depict Doc Holliday and Wolverine as feminized by their failing/disobedient bodies, thus contribut- ing to the cultural construction of gender. Secondly, the paper discusses the halo of martyrdom with which the films’ dying men are rewarded as emo- tionally deeply satisfying to the viewer: in Logan and Tombstone , death is not averted but hastened for the sake of friendship, family, and the protec- tion of the vulnerable and the marginalized.

  • Arizona Euro-American History
    Arizona History AZT Passage 17-Alamo Canyon by Preston Sands This passage of the Arizona Trail travels through historic mining country. One of Arizona’s largest silver strikes, the Silver King Mine, occurred in 1875 in the mountains north of this area. As a result, a silver rush of sorts brought in many prospectors and would-be miners, all hoping to cash in on the mineral riches that were surely to be found in the area. One of these men was J. DeNoon Reymert. A lawyer and journalist by trade Reymert founded and published the Pinal Drill, the area’s first newspaper, in the lively boomtown of Pinal during the early 1880’s. Reymert’s best known contribution to the area may have been his discovery of a rich silver mine a couple of miles west of today’s Arizona Trail route. This silver strike became the Reymert Mine, which spawned a large mining camp to support the mine workers, and a secondary mill town nearby, known as DeNoon. While the town of DeNoon was short-lived, the town of Reymert, along with the Reymert Mine, lingered on until the 1950’s, reportedly producing around $700,000 dollars of silver during its lifetime. Reymert is a ghost town today, with abandoned mine workings being the only evidence of its existence. Along the horizon to the east, a massive cliff wall known as Apache Leap towers over the surrounding hills. Apache Leap takes its name from a tragic incident that was said to have taken place atop its rocky crest. While there is no official documentation of the incident, the story is considered by many to be historical fact.

  • Statement from Derrica Donelson
    Statement from Derrica Donelson First, allow me to express my deepest appreciation to Chairman and Honorable Senator Tom Harkin and the Honorable Senator Lamar Alexander from the great state of Tennessee for inviting me to testify in this meeting. There are few events in life that are as important and as life shaping as graduating from college. Thank you for the federal financial aid that has been made available to me and for the opportunity to achieve my dreams in life. While the path to graduation has not been simple or easy, it has been worth all the efforts. My name is Derrica Donelson. I am 23 years old. I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. I will graduate in August 2013 from Lipscomb University with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Accounting and a Master’s degree in Accounting. I was raised in a single parent home. I am the oldest of four children. I graduated from Martin Luther King, Jr. Academic Magnet High School. I am the first of the past two generations to graduate with a master’s degree. Upon graduating from high school, I had numerous conversations with my guidance counselor regarding future plans for college. She advised me to complete applications as early as possible. I submitted my application to Tennessee State University, Middle Tennessee State University, Austin Peay State University, and Trevecca Nazarene University. It was at a college fair at my high school, when I first learned of Lipscomb University. After talking with Lipscomb’s representatives, I made the decision to submit my application.
