His knowledge and encouragement were inspiring, his guidance and comments immensely helpful, and his humanity humbling. I am lucky to have had a supervisor whose dedication to his students is known to be above and beyond the call of duty, and I could not have had a better one. I am also very grateful to the following, who have successively co-supervised: Dr Erin Mackie, for helpful comments on early drafts and chapters; Dr John Newton, for the gentlest whip-cracking ever; and Professor Patrick Evans, Rescuer of Damsels in Distress, for listening, being there and giving good advice on matters inside and outside of academia when it was most needed. I am indebted to Bettina Kaiser, Douglas Reid, Hamish Win, Sharon McIver, Karyn Stewart, Karyn Saunders, Sally Provan, Sarah Forgan, Sally Borrell, Annie Finnie, Nicholas Wright and Nichola Kriek for inspiring discussions and/or comments on chapter drafts; Dr Bill Rollins for encouraging and enabling my first venture into animal studies (when neither he nor I knew it actually existed). I am grateful to Bettina Kaiser, APECS Council (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists), for informing me of the media presence at the International Polar Year launch versus the media circus surrounding Knut (discussed in Chapter Six); and to South Island beekeeper pav (as he wishes to be known) of www.badassbees.com for sharing his knowledge of and enthusiasm for bees, which gave me a better understanding of What the Crow Said. For making life much easier, I am grateful to Jennifer Middendorf (English Programme administrator), Professor Steve Weaver, and scholarships office Adrian Carpinter, as well as StudyLink officer Kim Ashmore. I thank the University of Canterbury and the New Zealand Federation of Graduate Women (Canterbury Branch) for financial support. Thanks to my parents Irmgard and Uwe, for believing that I could do anything I put my mind to, for never putting pressure on me, for celebrating my successes and being there when things did not go as expected. Also, thanks to my brother Frank for his inspiring readiness to put words into action. It takes a village to write a thesis, especially for students who are also parents. For helping out with the girls, I am grateful to the Steinegg family—especially Sabine, and Felicity Hattrell. Thanks also to good neighbours Norazlina Binti Haji Sisa (Ayong) and Enoy, and Chigusa Kusaka, who did not hesitate to offer help to a stranger without expecting anything in return. “Thanks” is neither deep nor big enough to express my heartfelt gratitude for the support of my friends: Special thanks to Nichola Kriek, Sabine Steinegg, Bettina Kaiser, Sharon McIver, and also to Philip Armstrong, Patrick Evans and Irvine Forgan. You gave me strength, encouragement, good advice, and practical help when I needed it most, and I will never forget it.

Thanks also to my feline friend Darcy for keeping me company during the darkest hours. He went to sleep on top of the stacked pages of my final draft, and I have had to delete the numerous spaces (animal spaces!) he insisted on inserting into my chapters. No thanks for biting my thumb while I was typing. I have lovingly ignored all of his catty comments on my work. Finally, I thank my daughters Ingrid Anna and Kerstin for their endless patience and support. Those years of study and research undoubtedly seemed much longer to them than they did to me. It was a lot to ask, but they have never complained. This is for you two, with much love. Parts of this thesis have been published elsewhere.

Eds. Laurence Simmons and Philip Armstrong. Leiden: Brill, 2007. 79-104. Abstract Magical realist fiction is marked by a striking abundance of animals. Analysing magical realist novels from Australia and Canada, as well as exploring the influence of two seminal Latin American magical realist narratives, this thesis focuses on representations of animals and animality. Examining human-animal relationships in the postcolonial context reveals that magical realism embodies and represents an idea of feral animality that critically engages with an inherently imperialist and Cartesian humanism, and that, moreover, accounts for magical realism‟s elusiveness within systems of genre categorisation and labelling. It is this embodiment and presence of animal agency that animates magical realism and injects it with life and vibrancy. The magical realist writers discussed in this dissertation make use of animal practices inextricably intertwined with imperialism, such as pastoral farming, natural historical collections, the circus, the rodeo, the Wild West show, and the zoo, as well as alternative animal practices inherently incompatible with European ideologies, such as the Aboriginal Dreaming, Native North American animist beliefs, and subsistence hunting, as different ways of positioning themselves in relation to the Cartesian human subject. The circus is a particular influence on the form and style of many magical realist texts, whereby oxymoronically structured circensian spaces form the basis of the narratives‟ realities, and hierarchical imperial structures and hegemonic discourses that are portrayed as natural through Cartesian science and Linnaean taxonomies are revealed as deceptive illusions that perpetuate the self-interests of the powerful. To Kerstin and Ingrid Anna Also, to Good Friends “In Pliny’s observations I discovered that man, far from being central in this life, lived in a parlous world beyond his knowledge, . a world in which man is lost & less but lost & less amidst the marvellous, the extraordinary, the gorgeously inexplicable wonder of a universe only limited by one’s own imagining of it.” — Richard Flanagan, Gould’s Book of Fish Schwalm 1 Introduction Literary animals, in magical realism and elsewhere, are conventionally regarded as cyphers, symbols or props, whose importance lies in the meaning they give to others, the values they represent, or the role they play as part of the setting or landscape.

  • Detective Fiction And
    Muff Andersson & Elsie Cloete Fixing the guilt: Detective fiction Muff Andersson is a researcher at the and the No.1 Ladies’ Detective University of South Africa’s Graduate School while Elsie Cloete teaches Agency series in the Department of English, Wits School of Education, University of the Witwatersrand. Email: [email protected] [email protected] Detective fiction and the No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series This article examines the emergence of popular detective fiction in Africa as part of a new third wave of literature. While the new wave is a very particular response to conditions on the continent it nevertheless taps into the main streams of detective fiction that have emerged from Britain and in some respects the USA in the last hundred years. In particular this article focuses on the No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith and examines ways in which the postcolony reproduces the colony and how, in some respects the erstwhile empire desires to produce the postcolony. Key words: African literature, detective fiction, Alexander McCall Smith. Introduction To date, two distinct waves in African Literature have been identified. The first wave is defined as writing back to colonialism and includes elite authors such as Ngugi wa Thiong’o and Chinua Achebe while the second wave manifests as post-colonial dis- illusionment, exemplified by Dambudzo Marechera’s writing. Andersson (2005a) has contended that a third wave is emerging from where the second wave left off and can most clearly be identified in African popular detective fiction. This is an organic movement that works with audiences’ own experiences through intertextual refer- ences to political memory, witty word play, reversals, cinema noir and theatre of the absurd techniques, its techniques being a form of resistance to what Andersson calls the “dialogic violence” that arises from the contradictions between the claims of official memory and the experiences of popular memory.

Since I was a college graduate, single, broke, and living with my dad, I felt like a failure. It was one of the most depressing periods in my life but eventually I found the rodeo arena. I started riding bulls and for the first time in a long while, I felt like I was worthy. Rodeo is not like other sports. In most sports, the athlete shares the stage with many other people at the same time. In basketball, football, baseball, and track and field, there is never a time when a participant can be confident that every single spectator is watching nobody else but him. In rodeo, every competitor gets his or her moment in the sun.

  • Reasonable Humans and Animals: an Argument for Vegetarianism
    BETWEEN THE SPECIES Issue VIII August 2008 www.cla.calpoly.edu/bts/ Reasonable Humans and Animals: An Argument for Vegetarianism Nathan Nobis Philosophy Department Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA USA www.NathanNobis.com [email protected] “It is easy for us to criticize the prejudices of our grandfathers, from which our fathers freed themselves. It is more difficult to distance ourselves from our own views, so that we can dispassionately search for prejudices among the beliefs and values we hold.” - Peter Singer “It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.” - Harriet Beecher Stowe In my experience of teaching philosophy, ethics and logic courses, I have found that no topic brings out the rational and emotional best and worst in people than ethical questions about the treatment of animals. This is not surprising since, unlike questions about social policy, generally about what other people should do, moral questions about animals are personal. As philosopher Peter Singer has observed, “For most human beings, especially in modern urban and suburban communities, the most direct form of contact with non-human animals is at mealtimes: we eat Between the Species, VIII, August 2008, cla.calpoly.edu/bts/ 1 them.”1 For most of us, then, our own daily behaviors and choices are challenged when we reflect on the reasons given to think that change is needed in our treatment of, and attitudes toward, animals. That the issue is personal presents unique challenges, and great opportunities, for intellectual and moral progress. Here I present some of the reasons given for and against taking animals seriously and reflect on the role of reason in our lives.

  • I PRACTICAL MAGIC: MAGICAL REALISM and the POSSIBILITIES
    i PRACTICAL MAGIC: MAGICAL REALISM AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF REPRESENTATION IN TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY FICTION AND FILM by RACHAEL MARIBOHO DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington August, 2016 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Wendy B. Faris, Supervising Professor Neill Matheson Kenneth Roemer Johanna Smith ii ABSTRACT: Practical Magic: Magical Realism And The Possibilities of Representation In Twenty-First Century Fiction And Film Rachael Mariboho, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016 Supervising Professor: Wendy B. Faris Reflecting the paradoxical nature of its title, magical realism is a complicated term to define and to apply to works of art. Some writers and critics argue that classifying texts as magical realism essentializes and exoticizes works by marginalized authors from the latter part of the twentieth-century, particularly Latin American and postcolonial writers, while others consider magical realism to be nothing more than a marketing label used by publishers. These criticisms along with conflicting definitions of the term have made classifying contemporary works that employ techniques of magical realism a challenge. My dissertation counters these criticisms by elucidating the value of magical realism as a narrative mode in the twenty-first century and underlining how magical realism has become an appealing means for representing contemporary anxieties in popular culture. To this end, I analyze how the characteristics of magical realism are used in a select group of novels and films in order to demonstrate the continued significance of the genre in modern art. I compare works from Tea Obreht and Haruki Murakami, examine the depiction of adolescent females in young adult literature, and discuss the environmental and apocalyptic anxieties portrayed in the films Beasts of the Southern Wild, Take iii Shelter, and Melancholia.

    THROUGH ENGLAND ON A SIDE-SADDLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Celia Fiennes | 96 pages | 02 Apr 2009 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141191072 | English | London, United Kingdom Sidesaddle - Wikipedia Ninth century depictions show a small footrest, or planchette added to the pillion. In Europe , the sidesaddle developed in part because of cultural norms which considered it unbecoming for a woman to straddle a horse while riding. This was initially conceived as a way to protect the hymen of aristocratic girls, and thus the appearance of their being virgins. However, women did ride horses and needed to be able to control their own horses, so there was a need for a saddle designed to allow control of the horse and modesty for the rider. The earliest functional "sidesaddle" was credited to Anne of Bohemia — The design made it difficult for a woman to both stay on and use the reins to control the horse, so the animal was usually led by another rider, sitting astride. The insecure design of the early sidesaddle also contributed to the popularity of the Palfrey , a smaller horse with smooth ambling gaits, as a suitable mount for women. A more practical design, developed in the 16th century, has been attributed to Catherine de' Medici. In her design, the rider sat facing forward, hooking her right leg around the pommel of the saddle with a horn added to the near side of the saddle to secure the rider's right knee. The footrest was replaced with a "slipper stirrup ", a leather-covered stirrup iron into which the rider's left foot was placed.
