But at three that morning, he got up to use the bathroom, found himself a little unsteady, and having finished his business, he toppled over like a useless bag of bones and cracked the crown of his head against the doorframe. There was blood and profanity, but Larisa got him fixed up with a damp rag and an icepack, a couple Ibuprofen. She checked his eyes and they tracked together, the pupils were the same size, probably no concussion. They really didn’t want to get up and go to the hospital. So JR sat up, holding the rag and icepack to his head, and he felt all the heat in his body contract into his center, his arms and legs growing cold. He won- dered if this is how the sun feels in an eclipse. Though of course there’s no reason to think the sun feels anything in an eclipse—it’s just one tiny rock in reach of its light casting a brief shadow on another, no matter how like the end of the world it looks from down here. JR was twenty-four minutes north of the path of totality and JBE was far south of it, so neither of us beheld the eclipse in its full, sublime glory. That morning, JR watched all the slender stems in his garden turn into copper filament, felt the air grow cold. He wanted to see his chickens go to roost like enchanted sleepwalkers, but they didn’t, they just 7 OPOSSUM Fall 2017 FINAL+.indd 7 9/15/17 11:20 AM watched him from their pen wondering why he had a rag on his head. Near-totality came and went, and Larisa took him to the hospital, where the nurses and attendants all asked if they’d seen the eclipse. The hospital workers had taken turns slipping outside to see the sun getting swallowed by the invisible snake. On the television Bonnie Tyler was embarking on a cruise ship, getting ready to sing that song again. They checked JR’s heart, probed his personal habits and, sat- isfied it was probably just a freak fainting spell related to the evacuation of his bladder, put seven staples in his head and sent him home. This is neither here nor there, but the experience did bring all the trauma on these pages into relief as we worked on final edits. From the grave injury suffered by the snake in Kimberley Alexander’s “Oh, Africa” on our cover (heads of sunflowers making their own eclipse meta- phors), to William Johnson’s loss of sight from gazing at the eclipsed sun in Mark Lager’s “Blind Willie’s Eclipse,” to the deaths of fathers, mothers, babies, innocence, capability, consortium, we’ve done it again, collected a heap of traumas to visit on you, our dear readers. In his essay, “All That Beauty,” Matt Caprioli asks “Once you’ve been cracked, can a victory song ever make you whole again?” We can’t make any guarantees. But these pages abound with survivors, those daring to hope, to connect, to speak—Shayla Lawson’s “Sierra Leone,” finding life after unimaginable vio- lence “in / verse & / verse & / scripture;” or the young protagonist of Steve Young’s “Willows” savoring the taste of his own blood in his mouth; or Leah O’Sullivan’s Gabrielle, finding a way past grief, toward love through “lilting guitar chords in G major, sweet and open and raw.” Life wounds us all. And then, the thing that comes next— 8 OPOSSUM Fall 2017 FINAL+.indd 8 9/15/17 11:20 AM SIERRA LEONE by Shayla Lawson Sierra Leone. How often I think of her pink skies—The cut & stench of her vacant clitoris close to the burning of her father’s hair melting into dust as she watches soldiers light & impale him. She reeks of menarche; 9 OPOSSUM Fall 2017 FINAL+.indd 9 9/15/17 11:20 AM opens anew every time she bleeds. Daddy’s little girl: baby no longer. Sierra Leone she’s

The film is broadly situated in the remit of autoethnographic audiovisual research, and existing discourse on post digital aesthetics, collage, found material and music video, as ways to engage with various contemporary themes. Experimenting with non- linear narrative building, different musical genres and scales of media, I explore three sites for grief: technology, temporality and nature. I intend to work much of the music of the film into a standalone album in 2021. The research process has led me to explore further creative intersections between fact and fiction, with my upcoming PhD in 2021 looking at methodologies for distributed authorship within the music of documentary film. 0:00 Dionysus Dies You don’t know what you’re doing sometimes.

März 2017 – Davide Arizzoli Langwiesstrasse 17 8050 Zürich [email protected] – Matrikel-Nr.: 14-650-039 ABSTRACT Das Erklärstück ist ein relativ altes journalistisches Fernsehformat. Mit YouTube und ande- ren Videoplattformen hat dieses Format ein neues Gesicht erhalten. Bekannt als trocken, verstanden zur reinen Informationsvermittlung und gleichgesetzt mit den täglichen Nach- richten, hat es sich dennoch zu den Formaten mit viralem Potenzial entwickelt. Die Arbeit thematisiert die Struktur von Erklärstücken und ihre gestalterischen Merkmale. In zwei Fallbeispielen wird die Struktur analysiert und verglichen. Welches sind die Reize, die dieses alte Format wieder auffrischen? Diese Arbeit zeigt wie Personalisierung und Spannung in der Struktur neu verstanden und eingesetzt wird. EIDESSTATTLICHE ERKLÄRUNG Hiermit versichere ich, dass ich die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit mit dem Titel „Zur Struktur von Erklärstücken – eine Analyse anhand von zwei Beispielen“ selbständig und ohne frem- de Hilfe verfasst und keine anderen als die angegebenen Quellen benutzt habe.

I wanted my thesis to have an impact and planned on doing that by pointing out a glaring trend missed by the historical community. But, this was incredibly difficult so I came up with a thought experiment: If you randomly picked an American from 1990 (Person A) and made them talk to another randomly picked American from 2019 (Person B)—what would surprise Person A about Person B’s daily routine? The most likely answer is that Person A would be stunned by the domination of the internet and would be shocked at how dependent Person B is on it—professionally and personally. I was keen on using the term “information revolution” to describe this phenomenon, but that is not appropriate. The term has been in use since the 1970s to describe the rise of commercial computers and their ability to process and store unthinkable amounts of data.
