  • In Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: the Image
    Burlesquing “Otherness” 101 Burlesquing “Otherness” in Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: The Image of the Indian in John Brougham’s Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs (1847) and Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage (1855). Zoe Detsi-Diamanti When John Brougham’s Indian burlesque, Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs, opened in Boston at Brougham’s Adelphi Theatre on November 29, 1847, it won the lasting reputation of an exceptional satiric force in the American theatre for its author, while, at the same time, signaled the end of the serious Indian dramas that were so popular during the 1820s and 1830s. Eight years later, in 1855, Brougham made a most spectacular comeback with another Indian burlesque, Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage, an “Original, Aboriginal, Erratic, Operatic, Semi-Civilized, and Demi-savage Extravaganza,” which was produced at Wallack’s Lyceum Theatre in New York City.1 Both plays have been invariably cited as successful parodies of Augustus Stone’s Metamora; or, The Last of the Wampanoags (1829) and the stilted acting style of Edwin Forrest, and the Pocahontas plays of the first half of the nineteenth century. They are sig- nificant because they opened up new possibilities for the development of satiric comedy in America2 and substantially contributed to the transformation of the stage picture of the Indian from the romantic pattern of Arcadian innocence to a view far more satirical, even ridiculous. 0026-3079/2007/4803-101$2.50/0 American Studies, 48:3 (Fall 2007): 101-123 101 102 Zoe Detsi-Diamanti

  • Learning the Languages of Nostalgia in Modern and Contemporary Literature
    Learning the Languages of Nostalgia in Modern and Contemporary Literature Tasha Marie Buttler A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Carolyn Allen, Chair Katherine Cummings Mark Patterson Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English University of Washington Abstract Learning the Languages of Nostalgia in Modern and Contemporary Literature Tasha M. Buttler Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor Carolyn Allen Department of English This dissertation builds upon recent discourses on nostalgia that focus on the generative potential of a sustained melancholic stance and position the past as resource for the future. My particular interest is in the potential for de-subjectification out of regulatory regimes, as outlined in the work of Judith Butler, particularly in The Psychic Life of Power. This text has allowed me to develop a robust theory about accumulated experiences of love and loss that are central to the formation of “character” that repeats or disrupts patterns of social relation. I differentiate between politicized nostalgia and experiential nostalgia, suggesting that the latter can make use of inevitable experiences of loss by initiating and sustaining a melancholic agency. I use various literary texts and memoirs to identify how the thwarting of melancholia can lead to nostalgia’s obverse: the desire to return suffering, or what Czech author Milan Kundera calls litost. These instances of thwarted grieving are positioned against a set of characters in the work of Virginia Woolf, Eva Hoffman, and Clarice Lispector who allow themselves to honor their experiential nostalgia rather than reverting to politicized nostalgia that repeats representations and clichés associated with empire.

    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210 Utgivna av Historiska institutionen vid Uppsala universitet genom Torkel Jansson, Jan Lindegren och Maria Ågren 1 2 David Ludvigsson The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius 3 Dissertation in History for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy presented at Uppsala University in 2003 ABSTRACT Ludvigsson, David, 2003: The Historian-Filmmaker’s Dilemma. Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius. Written in English. Acta Universitatis Upsalien- sis. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210. (411 pages). Uppsala 2003. ISSN 0081-6531. ISBN 91-554-5782-7. This dissertation investigates how history is used in historical documentary films, and ar- gues that the maker of such films constantly negotiates between cognitive, moral, and aes- thetic demands. In support of this contention a number of historical documentaries by Swedish historian-filmmakers Olle Häger and Hans Villius are discussed. Other historical documentaries supply additional examples. The analyses take into account both the produc- tion process and the representations themselves. The history culture and the social field of history production together form the conceptual framework for the study, and one of the aims is to analyse the role of professional historians in public life. The analyses show that different considerations compete and work together in the case of all documentaries, and figure at all stages of pre-production, production, and post-produc- tion. But different considerations have particular inuence at different stages in the produc- tion process and thus they are more or less important depending on where in the process the producer puts his emphasis on them.

Poetry and other creative efforts should be levers, weapons to be used in the people's struggle for understanding, human rights, and decency. "Art for Art's Sake" is a misnomer. The poet can never be neutral. In a hungry world the struggle between oppressor and oppressed is unending. There is the inevitable question: "Which side are you on?" To be content with as they are, to be "neutral," is to take sides with the oppressor who also wants to keep the status quo.

Ted Joans, “Africa” 14 Freedom Dreams Schoolhouse Rock didn’t teach me a damn thing about “free- dom.” The kids like me growing up in Harlem during the 1960s and early 1970s heard that word in the streets; it rang in our ears with the regularity of a hit song. Everybody and their mama spoke of freedom, and what they meant usually defied the popular meanings of the day. Whereas most Americans associated free- dom with Western democracies at war against communism, free- market capitalism, or U.S. intervention in countries such as Viet- nam or the Dominican Republic, in our neighborhood “freedom” had no particular tie to U.S. nationality (with the pos- sible exception of the black-owned Freedom National Bank). Freedom was the goal our people were trying to achieve; free was a verb, an act, a wish, a militant demand.

  • Reconfiguring Untidiness: the Ethics of Remembering History
    RECONFIGURING UNTIDINESS: THE ETHICS OF REMEMBERING HISTORY IN NOVELS BY VIRGINIA WOOLF, D. M. THOMAS, AND IAN MCEWAN A Dissertation by SEUNG-HYUN KIM Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Mary Ann O’Farrell Committee Members, Marian Eide David McWhirter Theodore George Head of Department, Maura Ives August 2019 English Copyright 2019 Seung-Hyun Kim ABSTRACT This dissertation examines representations of ideas about untidiness in modern and contemporary British novels. Reading works by Virginia Woolf, D. M. Thomas, and Ian McEwan as memory texts that engage historical atrocities, I investigate the ways in which the attention to small-scale violence of the everyday as manifested in the novels’ conceptualizations of the untidy is entwined with their articulation of violence perpetrated on a massive scale, the wars and the Holocaust. As both a thematic and a formal concern, the trope of the untidy illuminates paradigms established on exclusion, acts of boundary-setting that obliterate the face of the Other even as it puts into play literary elements that dispel such brutalizing operations. I make the case that the reconfiguration of untidiness as a form of relinquishing the self’s autonomy to relate to the Other is integral to how the novels explore the ethics of remembering history. This dissertation rethinks Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway as a historical novel that intervenes in the author’s contemporary discourse about remembering the recent past of the Great War. Disrupting dominant culture’s homogenizing affective economy, the novel’s thematization of untidiness through two women’s love figures a nonappropriative mode of relating to the Other that transfers onto the novel’s metacritical ruminations upon engaging a violent past in ways that preserve the unassimilability of the subject matter.
