It has been accepted for inclusion in English Dissertations by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. TEACHING SPECULATIVE FICTION IN COLLEGE: A PEDAGOGY FOR MAKING ENGLISH STUDIES RELEVANT by JAMES HAMMOND SHIMKUS Under the Direction of Dr. Elizabeth Burmester ABSTRACT Speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) has steadily gained popularity both in culture and as a subject for study in college. While many helpful resources on teaching a particular genre or teaching particular texts within a genre exist, college teachers who have not previously taught science fiction, fantasy, or horror will benefit from a broader pedagogical overview of speculative fiction, and that is what this resource provides. Teachers who have previously taught speculative fiction may also benefit from the selection of alternative texts presented here. This resource includes an argument for the consideration of more speculative fiction in college English classes, whether in composition, literature, or creative writing, as well as overviews of the main theoretical discussions and definitions of each genre.

Application for permission to use has been submitted. IV Abstract The thesis presented works from the assumption that films produced in Hollywood are important historical documents that can provide interesting comments on changes in U.S society and culture. Through a comparative analysis of The Stepford Wives film from 1975 and its 2004 remake, this thesis aims to examine how changes in genre, plot and overall narrative from the original to the remake reflect public understandings of feminism, and what the lead characters in both movies can reveal about the changing roles of women in American society.

An Interviewwithroger Zelazny
No. 43 December 1972 An Interview With Roger Zelazny (You have asked me to step outside myself, then turn around and interview me. Okay. I’m outside now. I’ll stop right there and start questioning him.) “Tell me about yourself, Z.” “I was born on May 13, 1937 and received my B.A. from Western Reserve University in 1959. I attended Columbia for graduate work and received my M.A. there in 1962, in English and Comparative Literature. For a little over seven years, from early 1962 to early 1969, I worked for the Social Security Administration as a claims representative in Ohio and, in the final four, as a claims policy specialist in the SSA Centred Office here in Baltimore. I have a wife (Judy) and a son (Devin).” “Wait a minute, Z. We just passed a whole generation of psychoanalytic critics and biographers awhile back. What about childhood trauma and all that crap?” “I believe a piece of writing should be considered of, in, by, and for itself, a thing independent of the person who wrote it.” “But you are talking to me. I know where you got that. You wrote nothing but poetry for years—after you got out of high school and started college—and you got hung up on the New Criticism: close textual analysis, and the hell with the guy who wrote it. A touch of end-of-the-century decadence, too. The Symbolists, Firbank... But you were a Psychology major until your final year. You know that writing is a form of bahavior, and as such it invariably bears the mark of its executor.” “Of course.” “So tell us about your childhood hangups.” “No.” “Why not?” “Because I’m a bug on privacy.” “Shyness?” “Some, I suppose.

Full Name: the American Gothic: Landscapes of Fear Short Title
Full Name: The American Gothic: Landscapes of Fear Short Title: Landscapes of Fear ECTS Weighting: 10 ECTS Semester Taught: Hilary 2021 Lecturer: Dr Bernice M. Murphy Learning Outcomes: Students who successfully complete this course will: • Have become familiar with a number of key American horror and gothic narratives; • Will have been introduced to significant sub-genres of the wider American gothic tradition. These include: the rural gothic, the suburban gothic, the urban gothic and the highway horror film; • Have gained an understanding of the factors informing the cultural construction of place and space in American gothic and horror narratives; • Students will also be introduced to a range of critical and theoretical approaches towards the primary texts and the key issues raised by the course, as well as issues related the wider academic study of place and space. Learning Aims: “If we had less imagination, we would feel more secure.” (Yi-Fu Tuan, Landscapes of Fear) This one-term course explores the relationship between the individual and the physical environment in American horror and gothic texts from the beginnings of an independent American literary culture to the present day. From the seemingly savage wilderness that confronted the first European settlers to the brutal realities of frontier life and, latterly, the rather different varieties of terror found in the rural, urban (and then suburban) environments, American authors and filmmakers have always been fascinated with the impact that the nation’s vast and varied landscape has upon those who reside there. This course will explore the many reasons why this is the case, and also consider the differing ways in which horror and gothic depictions of specific geographical and architectural settings serve to dramatize some of the most profound anxieties and preoccupations associated with the American way of life.

The big news here is that an otherwise respectable company has hired Kevin to a real fulltime job, which is cause for rejoicing. ___________________________________________________ The forces of propriety and decency are once again in the ascendant. The Federal Communications Commission, as usual protecting us whether we want to be protected or not, has cracked down on notorious sewermouth Howard Stern. (Perhaps for saying, "one-term president," but let that pass.) Besides, there is censorware, often more meticulous than the most obsessed wowser. (Sorry, Ms. Matsushita.) Once more, evasive tactics are called for. Gore Vidal and Robert Anton Wilson suggested using the names of the smutstompers themselves. It's tempting to say something like, "His idea of a good time is to get down on his knees and phelps a dozen sailors," but the names will become obsolete, and it's unfair to others who share them.
