  • A Tale of Two Trails Sarahmaslin
    1 A Tale of Two Trails SAGE Magazine 2013 Environmental Writing Contest issue, September 2013 BY SARAH MASLIN Wednesday, September 4, 2013 Hiking the Appalachian Trail has traditionally been viewed as an escape from modern society and a return to nature’s basics. But with a new generation of A.T. thru-hikers bringing technology and partying into the woods, trail culture is rapidly changing. Do these changes reflect a more social and accessible trail, or do they threaten the age-old benefits of experiencing the outdoors? Right before the Appalachian Trail crosses the Massachusetts-Connecticut border, it makes a sharp left turn. Then it climbs Bear Mountain, the highest peak in Connecticut, and zigzags in a southwest descent until it hits the town of Salisbury. I know this because I’m looking down at it. Actually, I’m looking down at Google Maps’ representation of it — on an iPhone, on the side of the trail, where I’m sitting atop Bear Mountain. The iPhone belongs to Olivia Gomes, an athletic 37-year-old with a big backpack, hiking poles, pigtails, sunglasses and a bandana. She’s walking the entire 2,000-some miles of the trail with her boyfriend, Nicholas Olsen, 32 — dressed the same, no pigtails, a beard — and their dog, Bailey. Gomes and Olsen (trail names: “Hermit” and “Grizz”) are part of a new generation of Appalachian Trail thru-hikers for whom spending six months on the trail no longer means shedding all the comforts of modern civilization. Last summer, the Appalachian Trail experienced a spike in the number of hikers heading north from Georgia — 2,500 as of November 2012, compared to 1,700 in 2011.

  • Chapter One: Postwar Resentment and the Invention of Middle America 10
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________________ Timothy Melley, Director ________________________________________ C. Barry Chabot, Reader ________________________________________ Whitney Womack Smith, Reader ________________________________________ Marguerite S. Shaffer, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT TALES FROM THE SILENT MAJORITY: CONSERVATIVE POPULISM AND THE INVENTION OF MIDDLE AMERICA by Jeffrey Christopher Bickerstaff In this dissertation I show how the conservative movement lured the white working class out of the Democratic New Deal Coalition and into the Republican Majority. I argue that this political transformation was accomplished in part by what I call the "invention" of Middle America. Using such cultural representations as mainstream print media, literature, and film, conservatives successfully exploited what came to be known as the Social Issue and constructed "Liberalism" as effeminate, impractical, and elitist. Chapter One charts the rise of conservative populism and Middle America against the backdrop of 1960s social upheaval. I stress the importance of backlash and resentment to Richard Nixon's ascendancy to the Presidency, describe strategies employed by the conservative movement to win majority status for the GOP, and explore the conflict between this goal and the will to ideological purity. In Chapter Two I read Rabbit Redux as John Updike's attempt to model the racial education of a conservative Middle American, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, in "teach-in" scenes that reflect the conflict between the social conservative and Eastern Liberal within the author's psyche. I conclude that this conflict undermines the project and, despite laudable intentions, Updike perpetuates caricatures of the Left and hastens Middle America's rejection of Liberalism.

    A Review of the Distinctive Genres of Adolescent Folklore Sue Samuelson Edited and Introduced by Simon J. Bronner Sue Samuelson (1956-1991) served as vice president and secretary- treasurer of the Children's Folklore Section of the American Folk- lore Society and often let her colleagues know her opinion that the rubric of "children" should be modified. Her view came out of her scholarly work documenting legends and beliefs among teenagers, and their contexts in slumber parties and school gatherings. She felt that categorizing adolescent lore under childhood misrepresented the transitions culturally and physically that occurred to teenagers. Although she recognized the connection of folklore used by adoles- cents to forms established in childhood, she noted that the emphasis on groupness and spirit in the American high school experience added an organizational difference to the American adolescent experience and distinguished it from categories of childhood, adult- hood, or even college life. She agreed with Gary Alan Fine's usage of the analytical terms "preadolescent" and "adolescent" to represent cultural patterns associated with coming of age (see Fine, With the Boys: Little League Baseball and Preadolescent Culture [Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1987]). She was indeed an appropriate figure to discuss adolescent folklore in a project surveying the field of children's folklore sponsored by the Children's Folklore Section. She prepared a draft on the subject in 1983 when she was teaching at Penn State Harrisburg but was stricken with cancer a few years later when the project began moving forward. She was not then in a position to prepare her work for publication.

  • Boondocks Vs. South Park
    Satire, Race, and Modern Cartoons: Boondocks vs. South Park Stanford University Communication Department June 4, 2011 Melanie J Murphy Satire is primarily seen in literary form where irony, sarcasm and ridicule are used in order to expose, or denounce vice or folly with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement. In addition to satire as a literary genre, we have seen an increase in the use of satire in American television as well. Popular cartoons such as the Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, and the Boondocks are known to have created controversy through episodes that feature satire on political, social, and racial issues. While all four of these cartoons have satirical content, the Boondocks and South Park dedicate the majority of their satire each episode toward one main issue. It would be interesting to see if (1) there are racial differences between how whites and blacks view both shows and (2) if the satire featured in these two shows actually exposes society’s foolishness, possibly leading to improvement. It is our hypothesis that through social identification theory, groups will be made through the similarity of race (Tajfel, 1982). This will allow for those who identify with either race, to feel more positively toward the show of their own race. Comedy Central’s South Park is a satirical, animated show, made for mature audiences created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Although the show is thought by some to be incredibly offensive, the creators explain that there is an underlying moral lesson. The show follows four characters that live in the fictional predominantly white town of South Park, Colorado.

Mr. Connerly was appointed to a 12-year term on the board of regents of the University of California in 1993.

  • You Know What It Is: Learning Words Through Listening to Hip-Hop
    You Know What It Is: Learning Words through Listening to Hip-Hop Paula Chesley* Department of Linguistics, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Abstract Music listeners have difficulty correctly understanding and remembering song lyrics. However, results from the present study support the hypothesis that young adults can learn African-American English (AAE) vocabulary from listening to hip- hop music. Non-African-American participants first gave free-response definitions to AAE vocabulary items, after which they answered demographic questions as well as questions addressing their social networks, their musical preferences, and their knowledge of popular culture. Results from the survey show a positive association between the number of hip-hop artists listened to and AAE comprehension vocabulary scores. Additionally, participants were more likely to know an AAE vocabulary item if the hip-hop artists they listen to use the word in their song lyrics. Together, these results suggest that young adults can acquire vocabulary through exposure to hip-hop music, a finding relevant for research on vocabulary acquisition, the construction of adolescent and adult identities, and the adoption of lexical innovations.

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Brian Whitney Collier Jr. Doctor of Philosophy ________________________________ Chair Denise Taliaferro-Baszile _________________________________ Dennis L. Carlson Reader _________________________________ Sally Lloyd Reader _________________________________ Paula Saine Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT I AM THE STONE THAT THE BUILDER REFUSED: SPIRITUALITY, THE BOONDOCKS AND NOT BEING THE PROBLEM by Brian Whitney Collier Jr. It is visible in academic dialogue, specifically educational research, that there has not been any substantial research published that constructs or examines The Boondocks animated series in a capacity that extends the discourse past stereotypical issues and paradigms that are associated with the inferiority of African American males and the marginalized experiences they encounter. One primary purpose of this study is to offer a counter argument to the negative conversations that surround The Boondocks comic and animated series. Because most arguments about the text stem from the images and language, the conversations surrounding anything positive or hopeful as it pertains to being a Black male, are left out. Furthermore, this media text is currently not perceived as a reference that can be used as a pedagogical tool. In this qualitative critical media analysis, I sought to answer the question: How does the curriculum of The Boondocks represent issues of race, spirituality, and masculinity? Although The Boondocks is typically understood and critiqued as a Black Nationalist text, I intend to look at the animated series through the lens of race, spirituality and Black Masculinity. I specifically examine the text through the theoretical underpinnings of Critical Media Literacy and Critical Race Theory.
