    Roz Kaveney A Sense of the Ending: Schrödinger's Angel This essay will be included in Stacey Abbott's Reading Angel: The TV Spinoff with a Soul, to be published by I. B. Tauris and appears here with the permission of the author, the editor, and the publisher. Go here to order the book from Amazon. (1) Joss Whedon has often stated that each year of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was planned to end in such a way that, were the show not renewed, the finale would act as an apt summation of the series so far. This was obviously truer of some years than others – generally speaking, the odd-numbered years were far more clearly possible endings than the even ones, offering definitive closure of a phase in Buffy’s career rather than a slingshot into another phase. Both Season Five and Season Seven were particularly planned as artistically satisfying conclusions, albeit with very different messages – Season Five arguing that Buffy’s situation can only be relieved by her heroic death, Season Seven allowing her to share, and thus entirely alleviate, slayerhood. Being the Chosen One is a fatal burden; being one of the Chosen Several Thousand is something a young woman might live with. (2) It has never been the case that endings in Angel were so clear-cut and each year culminated in a slingshot ending, an attention-grabber that kept viewers interested by allowing them to speculate on where things were going. Season One ended with the revelation that Angel might, at some stage, expect redemption and rehumanization – the Shanshu of the souled vampire – as the reward for his labours, and with the resurrection of his vampiric sire and lover, Darla, by the law firm of Wolfram & Hart and its demonic masters (‘To Shanshu in LA’, 1022).

  • Dissertation Directed By: “TO DWELL, I'm DETERMINED, on THAT HAPPY GROUND”
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: “TO DWELL, I’M DETERMINED, ON THAT HAPPY GROUND”: AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF A FREE AFRICAN- AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN EASTON, MARYLAND, 1787– PRESENT Tracy H. Jenkins, Doctor of Philosophy, 2020 Dissertation directed by: Professor Mark P. Leone Department of Anthropology As early as 1787, free African Americans began making homes in the Easton, Maryland, neighborhood known as The Hill. Over successive generations, The Hill became the cultural and residential center of Easton’s African-American community. The families, businesses, institutions, social fabric, and cultural values that the first generations of free African Americans in Easton created on and around The Hill greatly influenced the development of African- American culture through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in terms of family and household structure, childrearing, religious life, and the memory and meaning of military service. Tracing these developments, with a focus on how African Americans and some white supporters worked together to combat slavery, racism, and other oppressions, illustrates how the politics of the freedom struggle were coded into everyday life. This investigation has also supported local grassroots efforts to preserve the legacy of that struggle on The Hill through public scholarship and practice, historic preservation, and community revitalization. “TO DWELL, I’M DETERMINED, ON THAT HAPPY GROUND” AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF A FREE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN EASTON, MARYLAND, 1787–PRESENT by Tracy H.

  • Parting Gifts
    My Mother’s Parting Gifts PARTING GIFTS by Puja Thomson MY MOTHER'S FIRST "PARTING GIFT" came to me unrecognized and indeed unwelcome two years before she died. It was her cantankerous upset at my gadding about seeing friends throughout the 12 days I was back home in Edinburgh. "I don't know why you bothered to come, you haven't spent much time with us!" she said. Pangs of guilt, resentment welled up. Didn't she recognize the time I had spent with her? Old feelings of being controlled flashed up. The mother-daughter saga, and underneath, a truth—I was overextended and exhausted, torn in many directions, with many friends to see. I was fitting them in, a lunch here, tea or a walk there. It was true. I wasn't really with family, not in any depth. Perhaps she sensed that the sands of time were already running out in her life. "Don't come back if you're just going to use this house as a hotel for seeing friends," she fired. I had to ask myself, what did I really want? On the one hand, I was angry at being told what to do, how to live, what's right, what's wrong, all themes of my youth and upbringing. On the other hand, I sensed an incompletion and a possible step yet to be taken to bring healing to us both—before it was time for her to leave her body. I sensed a longing and a willingness to be more available to her before it was too late.
