  • View Mirror to the Windshield Had Melted Off in the Heat, So I Turned Around in My Seat and Watched the Gravel Driveway As I Backed Out
    ABSTRACT THE DIRT ON DOREEN AND OTHER NEWS by Meagan Sliger This collection of short stories is centered on a small town dynamic in which characters that have been raised on idle gossip and provincial ideas begin to question the values they have grown up with. Set primarily in Southwestern Ohio, the belief systems these characters have been carrying are challenged in unexpected ways. The stories are arranged in the reverse chronological order from which they were written. THE DIRT ON DOREEN AND OTHER NEWS A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts Department of English By Meagan Elizabeth Sliger Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2008 Advisor: Margaret Luongo Reader: Brian Roley Reader: Tim Melley CONTENTS 1. THE RACE 1 2. THE DIRT ON DOREEN 5 3. SOME OLD GUY LIKE ME 15 4. MUZZLE 20 5. THE HUMPS 31 6. HOUSE OF HOSPITATLITY 37 7. HOW TO BOIL A HOUSEWIFE 46 8. MABEL AND GOLIATH 53 ii THE RACE I have entered a road race. It is a 5k and I believe I will win my age group if not the entire race overall. For the women, of course. I am not fast enough to contend with the men. I believe I will win, because I believe if I believe I will win then it is likely that I will. More likely anyway than if I believe I will not win. So I stand at the starting line telling myself I will win, telling myself I am faster than all the other women here and that I can, without question, win the race.

  • LYNYRD SKYNYRD 29. April 2015 Ludwigsburg MHP Arena
    LYNYRD SKYNYRD 29. April 2015 Ludwigsburg MHP Arena Exklusives Deutschlandkonzert! Tour 2015 Gaste: Jared James Nichols Lebensgefühl pur! Mit ihrer heimlichen Hymne an den US-Bundesstaates „Sweet Home Alabama“ und weiteren gitarrengetriebene Classic-Hits wie „Simple Man“, „That Smell“ oder „Free Bird“ präsentiert sich die neunköpfige Rocklegende LYNYRD SKYNYRD bei Ihrem Konzertabstecher am 29. April 2015 in der Ludwigsburger MHP Arena. Kaum zu Glauben, aber der Mythos lebt! Jene legendäre Rockformation, deren ‚Spirit’ ungebrochen ist, die den Sound einer ganzen US-Region und Generation verkörpern kommen nach drei Jahren pause auf die deutsche Bühne zurück und heizen mit Ihrem typischen Rebellen Rock gewaltig ein. Leonard Skinner, der inzwischen „wohl einflussreichste Sportlehrer der amerikanischen Popkultur“ (New York Time), stand bei der Namensfindung jenes Septetts aus Jacksonville/Florida Pate, das für die Veröffentlichung seines fünften Studioalbums „Street Survivors“ mehrfach mit Platin ausgezeichnet wurde. Seit 1987 personell umformiert, wahren die Beteiligten auch über die Jahrtausend- wende hinaus Grundeinstellung und musikalische Wurzeln. Inzwischen können LYNYRD SKYNYRD auf insgesamt 60 Veröffentlichungen und mehr als 30 Millionen verkaufte Tonträger zurück-blicken. Seit über 40 Jahren gehen sie auf Tour. Das moderne „Gods & Guns“ (2009) platzierten sie in der Billboard-Top 20 an achter Stelle. Satter, country-infizierter Bluesrock bildet das solide Fundament, welches auf vielen Ihrer Alben die Akzente setzt. Dem auf DVD erhältlichen Best-Of „Live From Freedom Hall“ folgte 2012 das nächste Studioalbum „Last Of a Dying Breed“. Darauf präsentiert sich die aktuelle Besetzung Gary Rossington, Johnny Van Zant und Rickey Medlocke (Ex- Blackfoot) zusammen mit dem langjährigen Drummer Michael Cartellone immer noch mit bestem Southern Rock.

  • The Portrayal of Women in American Superhero Comics By: Esmé Smith Junior Research Project Seminar
    Hidden Heroines: The Portrayal of Women in American Superhero Comics By: Esmé Smith Junior Research Project Seminar Introduction The first comic books came out in the 1930s. Superhero comics quickly became one of the most popular genres. Today, they remain incredibly popular and influential. I have been interested in superhero comics for several years now, but one thing I often noticed was that women generally had much smaller roles than men and were also usually not as powerful. Female characters got significantly less time in the story devoted to them than men, and most superhero teams only had one woman, if they had any at all. Because there were so few female characters it was harder for me to find a way to relate to these stories and characters. If I wanted to read a comic that centered around a female hero I had to spend a lot more time looking for it than if I wanted to read about a male hero. Another thing that I noticed was that when people talk about the history of superhero comics, and the most important and influential superheroes, they almost only talk about male heroes. Wonder Woman was the only exception to this. This made me curious about other influential women in comics and their stories. Whenever I read about the history of comics I got plenty of information on how the portrayal of superheroes changed over time, but it always focused on male heroes, so I was interested in learning how women were portrayed in comics and how that has changed.

    SUPERGIRLS AND WONDER WOMEN: FEMALE REPRESENTATION IN WARTIME COMIC BOOKS by Skyler E. Marker A Master's paper submitted to the faculty of the School of Information and Library Science of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Library Science. Chapel Hill, North Carolina May, 2017 Approved by: ________________________ Rebecca Vargha Skyler E. Marker. Supergirls and Wonder Women: Female Representation in Wartime Comics. A Master's paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. May, 2017. 70 pages. Advisor: Rebecca Vargha This paper analyzes the representation of women in wartime era comics during World War Two (1941-1945) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (2001-2010). The questions addressed are: In what ways are women represented in WWII era comic books? What ways are they represented in Post 9/11 comic books? How are the representations similar or different? In what ways did the outside war environment influence the depiction of women in these comic books? In what ways did the comic books influence the women in the war outside the comic pages? This research will closely examine two vital periods in the publications of comic books. The World War II era includes the genesis and development to the first war-themed comics. In addition many classic comic characters were introduced during this time period. In the post-9/11 and Operation Iraqi Freedom time period war-themed comics reemerged as the dominant format of comics. Headings: women in popular culture-- United States-- History-- 20th Century Superhero comic books, strips, etc.-- History and criticism World War, 1939-1945-- Women-- United States Iraq war (2003-2011)-- Women-- United States 1 I.
