Without their generosity, insight, advice, men- toring, feedback, poking, prodding, and cajoling, this book would not exist. At Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina: I owe particular debts to Bernie Dunlap and Talmage Skinner, as well as the late John Cobb and Larry McGehee. The department of American Studies at the University of Alabama helped begin my career as a scholar and teacher; in particular, Stacy Morgan is due much appreciation. At LSU, the mem- bers of my dissertation committee—Brannon Costello, Edward Hender- son, Katherine Henninger, Jerry Kennedy, and Rick Moreland—provided exceptionally useful comments on the earliest versions of this project; thanks also to Anna Nardo, who did more to improve the quality of my writing than any one since elementary school. No dissertation advisor could have been more gracious with his time than John Lowe: over the last eight years, he has shepherded this project though all of its many stages, beginning with an essay written for his “Native Sons/Native Daughters” seminar in 2004. I’m also grateful for the support, friendship, and thought- ful discussion provided by all of my LSU colleagues and tailgate team—in particular, Courtney George, Scott Gage, and Scott Whiddon. From my time at Georgia Tech: thanks to my fellow Brittain Fellows Jürgen Grandt, Matt Paproth, Jen Parrott, and Nirmal Trivedi. Thanks also to the entire vii viii • AcKNOWLEDGMENts crew from Success Programs (now the Success Center), particularly Eric Moschella for his friendship and guidance. For the last two years, I’ve had been humbled by the generosity, com- mitment, and vision of my colleagues in the Honors College at George Mason University—simply the best team I’ve ever joined. Particular thanks to our fearless leader and dean Zofia Burr, who took a chance on me and then made it possible for me to take this project across the finish line. Much appreciation to my great and wonderful students, who never cease to challenge and impress me. I owe a singular and strange debt to my friend Mason Brown. Eight years ago, he made a compilation CD (when one still did such things), filled with strange and creepy blues, gospel, and folk tunes. He called it “Apoca- lypse Southern,” and everything began when I played it. Many thanks to the great team at The Ohio State University Press— Sandy Crooms, Eugene O’Connor, and Ed Hatton. My greatest debts, of course, are owed to the members of my family; I was born into a family in which love, encouragement, and thoughtful dis- cussion were the norm, and then, I had the good fortune to I marry into another one. Thanks to my parents, Nancy and Anthony, and my siblings, Paul and Emily, for supporting me throughout my career – and for not blinking when I told them I’d likely be in school for all of my 20s; thanks to my parents-in-law, John and Len, for their support – and for not blink- ing when their daughter brought home someone who’d been in school for all of his 20s. Finally: Kate, I could not have done this without your love, patience, and encouragement—I’m lucky and grateful to have you as my partner. Cora, I hope that one day you’ll read this, understand what I was doing on my laptop all those nights, and maybe even enjoy it. In the mean- time, though, please don’t color in this book. The Great Question before us is: Are we doomed? The Great Question before us is: Will the Past Release us? The Great Question before us is: Can we Change? In Time? And we all desire that Change will come. —Tony Kushner, Angels in America, Part Two: Perestroika. Act I, Scene 1. Introduction Tracing the Apocalyptic Imaginary Fear the hearts of men are failing These our latter days we know The great depression now is spreading God’s word declared it would be so I’m going where there’s no depression To a better land that’s free from care I’ll leave this world of toil and trouble My home’s in heaven I’m going there In this dark hour, midnight nearing The tribulation time will come The storms will hurl the midnight fear And sweep lost millions to their doom I’m going where there’s no depression To a better land that’s free from care I’ll leave this world of toil and trouble My home’s in heaven I’m going there I’m going where there’s no depression To a better land that’s free from care I’ll leave this world of toil and trouble My home’s in heaven I’m going there ­ —The Carter Family, “No Depression (in Heaven)” The Carter FamilY recorded “No Depression (in Heaven)” in 1936, the same year that Dorothea Lange photographed “Migrant Mother” and that James Agee and Walker Evans first began the project that would become Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Though the song was a selec- 1 2 • INTRODuctION tion from a popular shaped-note songbook rather than an original com- position, it remains among their most notable and frequently covered.1 But the Carters were no gospel act, and their professional aims did not include an evangelistic mission (Malone 93). Nonetheless “No Depres- sion (in Heaven)” takes on a specifically religious theme: it employs the cosmology of evangelical and fundamentalist Protestantism in an effort to make some sense of an experience that is all but incomprehensible in its scope and complexity. Facing instability wrought by drought, foreclosure, plummeting tobacco and cotton prices,2 and the early stages of the Great Migration of African Americans from the South,3 the Carters’ audience tuned their radios to 650 kHz and sought solace in a signal broadcasting from Nashville’s WSM to homes across the South (and, at night, across the entire continent). By casting the contemporary crisis in the familiar words of Scripture, Carter Family songs like “No Depression (in Heaven),” “The World is Not My Home,” and “Can the Circle Be Unbroken?” reconfigured chaos as the realization of prophecy.

Cerulo And approved by _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey OCTOBER 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Beyond the Bodice Ripper: Innovation and Change in the Romance Novel Industry By ANDREA CIPRIANO BARRA Dissertation Director: Karen A. Cerulo Romance novels have changed significantly since they first entered the public consciousness. Instead of seeking to understand the changes that have occurred in the industry, in readership, in authorship, and in the romance novel product itself, both academic and popular perception has remained firmly in the early 1980s when many of the surface criticisms were still valid."Using Wendy Griswold’s (2004) idea of a cultural diamond, I analyze the multiple and sometimes overlapping relationships within broader trends in the romance industry based on content analysis and interviews with romance readers and authors. Three major issues emerge from this study. First, content of romance novels sampled from the past fourteen years is more reflective of contemporary ideas of love, sex, and relationships. Second, romance has been a leader and innovator in the trend of electronic publishing, with major independent presses adding to the proliferation of subgenres and pushing the boundaries of what is considered romance. Finally, readers have a complicated relationship with the act of reading romance and what the books mean in their lives.

  • Paul Haggis's Televisual Oeuvre
    Subverting Stereotypes from London, Ontario to Los Angeles, California: A Review and Analysis of Paul Haggis's Televisual Oeuvre Marsha Ann Tate ABD, Mass Communications Program College of Communications The Pennsylvania State University 115 Carnegie Building University Park, PA 16802 Email: [email protected] Last updated: June 3, 2005 @ 10:08 p.m. Paper presented at the 2005 Film Studies Association of Canada (FSAC) Conference, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada Subverting Stereotypes from London, Ontario to Los Angeles, California -- M. A. Tate 2 Abstract Paul Haggis's recent forays into the feature film milieu have garnered the London, Ontario native widespread critical acclaim. Serving as a co-producer, director, and/or writer for a series of high- profile motion pictures such as Million Dollar Baby and Crash have propelled Haggis to Hollywood's coveted "A list" of directors and writers. Nonetheless, prior to his entrée into feature filmmaking, Mr. Haggis already enjoyed a highly distinguished career as a creator, producer, and writer in the North American television industry. A two-time Emmy Award recipient, Paul Haggis's television oeuvre encompasses an eclectic array of prime time sitcoms and dramas. Starting out as a writer for situation comedies such as Facts of Life and One Day at a Time, Mr. Haggis later moved on to created notable dramas including Due South, EZ Streets, and Family Law. Subversion of widely held stereotypes and showcasing society's myriad moral ambiguities are hallmarks of Haggis's dramatic endeavors in both television and feature films. While the two techniques have helped produce powerful and thought-provoking dramas, on occasion, they also have sparked controversies.

Continuity in Color: The Persistence of Symbolic Meaning in Myths, Tales, and Tropes An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Department of Literature and Philosophy. By McKinley May Under the mentorship of Joe Pellegrino ABSTRACT This paper examines the symbolism of the colors black, white, and red from ancient times to modern. It explores ancient myths, the Grimm canon of fairy tales, and modern film and television tropes in order to establish the continuity of certain symbolisms through time. In regards to the fairy tales, the examination focuses solely on the lesser-known stories, due to the large amounts of scholarship surrounding the “popular” tales. The continuity of interpretation of these three major colors (black, white, and red) establishes the link between the past and the present and demonstrates the influence of older myths and beliefs on modern understandings of the colors.

  • Handbook of Anger Management and Domestic Violence Offender Treatment
    HANDBOOK OF ANGER MANAGEMENT AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OFFENDER TREATMENT In the Handbook of Anger Management and Domestic Violence Offender Treatment, Ronald T. Potter-Efron consciously connects anger manage- ment and domestic violence, two long separated fi elds, and addresses treatment options and intervention methods that meet the needs of individual clients, couples, families, and groups. Therapists, counselors, social workers, and other treatment specialists will fi nd this book a useful overview and reference for anger and anger management techniques as well as domestic violence approaches. This new edition is split into three distinct sections: • A description of anger and domestic violence focused upon helping clients use the principles of neuroplasticity to dramatically alter their behavior. • Assessment for anger problems and/or domestic violence. • Group treatment or individual, couples, and family treatment for anger problems and/or domestic violence. Woven through this book is a fair and balanced treatment of gender issues, refl ected in the diversity of case examples that address jealousy, chronic anger, behavioral problems, group and individual counseling, and more. Readers are also shown how anger develops and can lead to verbal and physical outbursts, the fi ve types of rage reactions, and how to treat anger turned inward. Potter-Efron also details four different approaches to treating anger: behavioral, cognitive, affective, and existential/spiritual. Mental health professionals are provided numerous questionnaires and worksheets to utilize with their clients. The Handbook of Anger Management and Domestic Violence Offender Treatment is an essential guidebook that illustrates effective theory and practice. Ronald T. Potter-Efron, MSW, PhD, is Director of the Anger Management and Domestic Violence Center at First Things First Counseling in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
