A healthy imagination is necessary, if one does not have access to a 1d12, the appropriate numbers may be generated at www.random.org. Origin: 1: Unfinished The creation of the world is ongoing, and may never cease. Some things we take for granted may not yet exist, the laws of reality seem illogical at times, and the half-formed landscape is in a constant state of flux. 2: Alien Forged The world was created to serve as a permanent abode for a series of strange and alien entities, and it is likely they will one day return. The world is bizarre and confounds earthly logic. 3: Dreamscape The world is nothing but the dream of a slumbering deity, and none can say when they’ll awaken. Though the world seems mundane enough at first glance, a deeper look reveals that not all is as it seems. 4: Demiurge An imperfect being of immense power created the world, and thus, it is flawed. The world is fundamentally broken, and though the Demiurge is silent; shackled, slumbering, ashamed, or slain, in time, they may free themselves and undo their mistake. 5: True Creator A perfect being of immense power created the world, and at first, it was likewise flawless, but its perfection did not last. Whether by the Creator’s intent, subsequent abandonment, or unforeseen tragedy, the world has become flawed, but it could be far worse. 6: By Committee Numerous divine entities of varying power set out to create the world, and despite their ceaseless bickering, stubborn compromise was made, and in time, it came into being. The world is a diverse landscape, the work of many craftsmen. 7: Mechanistic Impersonal forces of nature created the world, and for better or worse, no deity had a hand in its creation. The world is as could be expected, to the benefit or the detriment of its denizens. 8: Disaster The world came about as the unintentional byproduct of an incomprehensibly vast struggle in the void before creation. The world, though much calmer to an extent, still bears the scars of its birth. 9: Precursors An impossibly advanced post-scarcity civilization created the world with seemingly magical technology to serve their inscrutable needs. Though they are long gone, their legacy remains in the ancient ruins scattered across the world. 10: Profane A hubristic arch-demon of unparalleled power created the world in an Assemblage attempt to make a work of art that would last the test of time. The world is hellish and cruel, but beautiful in its own way. 11: Eternal The world is an enigma, in that it has never not existed in some way, Existence shape, or form. Even the deities can’t remember when it emerged because it has no true beginning, and should all but the most ruinous of ends come to pass, it shall have no end. 12: Dimensional The world is situated in the center of a plane where extra-dimensional Conflux energies once clashed, bringing it forth at the centre of the maelstrom. Though the storm has passed and the world is stable, occasionally outsiders find their way in. Age: 1: The World is in its Cradle The creation of the world came to a close recently, if it ever did, and its denizens have only begun to master the rudiments of tool-crafting and fire-building. 2: The World is in its Infancy The world is savage, primal, and dominated by wilderness, and armed with the knowledge of their ancestors, its denizens have begun to explore and exploit it. 3: The World is Still Young By and large, nature reigns supreme, but in several regions its denizens have begun to till the earth, construct city-states, and establish sophisticated culture. 4: The World is in its Little by little, nature has begun to give way to civilization, and Adolescence its denizens have begun to sail to distant lands, subjugating other peoples and being subjugated in turn. 5: The World is No Longer The lion’s share of its denizens have settled and founded great Young nations by the sweat of their brow, though the wildest lands and those within them are yet untamed. 6: The World is Mature The world has finally been explored and the wild settled, its denizens have a wealth of wondrous accomplishments, discoveries, and prosperity, and the surplus is such that some have come to question their deepest held notions and certainties. 7: The World is at its Zenith The illustrious civilizations, technological wonders, and horrific wars of the world’s denizens are breathtaking, though in time, their burden on the land may prove too much to carry. 8: The World has begun to The world’s denizens have succumbed to decadence, and Age grown complacent while the resources needed to sustain their comfort run thinner each generation. 9: The World is No Longer The world’s denizens have managed to overcome their ennui, Relevant and in the dawn of a new age, have begun to expand beyond the world, exploring and settling new worlds and dimensions beyond their plane. 10: The World has grown The world’s denizens were unable to overcome their ennui, Old and in time it consumed them. The zenith of the world is a distant memory, civilization has crumbled, and its surviving denizens struggle to scrape by on what little remains. 11: The World is on the The end is nigh, the world has outlived its time, the stench of Verge of Death decay has begun to set in, and final death is inevitable, but it is slow to come, painful, and hard-fought by the few denizens that endure. 12: The World is on the The end has come, the world has died, and much of the legacy Cusp of Rebirth of the ancients has been lost, but little by little, life has begun to return, and the still remaining denizens, hardened by their ancestor’s struggle, have begun to thrive in the ashes. Deities: 1: Absent The deities of the world are dead, gone, or were never there to begin with. There is nothing to intervene or answer prayers. 2: They Watch The deities of the world are distant observers, and it would take something truly extraordinary to get their attention. 3: Ascended Mortals The deities of the world are not deities, but rather, former mortals that, through strength or through guile, transcended their mortality to become something more. 4: Not Of This World The deities of the world are not of this world at all, but rather, came from another place or another time, perhaps fleeing ennui or seeking to settle. 5: Strange Cosmos The deities of the world are non-anthropomorphic entities, and their logic is nigh-incomprehensible to those who serve them. 6: Familiar Cosmos The deities of the world are a varied lot, resembling larger than life mortals more than anything, with all the good, the bad, and mostly true mythologies that entails. 7: Heavenly Feud The deities of the world are petty, meddling, and powerful, but luckily, the threat of mutually assured deicide keeps them from open conflict, to an extent. 8: Exalted Beasts The deities of the world are dreadful monsters, mindless beasts and natural disasters given godhood. 9: True Divinities The deities of the world are truly supreme beings, present in all places at once, with nigh-limitless power to bring to bear, and a sense of restraint most in their position would lack. 10: Profane Idols The deities of the world are in fact demons, and thus, are much more callous and cruel than one would expect. 11: Double Digits The deities of the world are a varied lot. Reroll twice and combine the results, if another 11 is rolled, add the first result, and continue rerolling until an 11 isn’t rolled. 12: Artificial Idols The deities of the world were created by the mortal races, either formed from their collective subconscious, or arcane constructs of unimaginable potency wrought in the long-forgotten past. Magic: 1: Magic is Mundane Mortals have no magic, it is solely the domain of the world’s deities and lesser supernatural entities. 2: Magic is Rare The world’s magic is hard to find and harder to use. The vast majority is useless superstition, incredibly tedious to employ, or dangerous to the user, but what works tends to be stronger than the freely available magic of other worlds. 3: Magic is Dark All but the weakest magic comes only through diabolical pacts and unspeakable deeds, and when it does, it is corrupting, chaotic, and catastrophic to the user and their victims alike. 4: Magic takes Tools The mortal mind can’t grasp any but the weakest of magic, only through artifice, scroll-scribbling, alchemy, and enchantments can its energies be brought to bear. 5: Magic is Demanding Magic is both powerful and attainable, but it requires decades of difficult study, ironclad self-control, and immense personal sacrifice from its users. 6: Magic is Inherited Only mortals descended from or greatly favored by supernatural entities can channel magic, and while great within its scope, their power is narrow and limited. 7: Magic is Common The study of magic is well-known and widespread, to the extent a town may have a wizard living between its carpenter and smith, but due to its ubiquity, it tends to be weaker than the less available magic of other worlds. 8: Magic is Myriad Numerous methods of magic exist, everything from dark pacts, to artificial tools, to arduous study, and simple circumstance of birth, and its divergent practitioners may have an intense and oft-bloody rivalry with one another.

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.

  • Setting in Biblical Narrative
    HOW TO READ THE BIBLE: EPISODE 7 Setting in Biblical Narrative STUDY NOTES SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION TO SETTING 00:00–01:04 Jon: In every story you’ve ever heard, the action took place somewhere. And that place is called “the setting.” And since we’ve been learning how to read Biblical narrative, let’s talk about how settings work in the Bible. Tim: So settings are a crucially important tool in the hands of the biblical authors. Jon: Really? Tim: Yeah. Think of it this way: when you start a story, everything is new. The plot and the characters are a mystery, until things unfold. Jon: Yeah, we have no idea what to expect. Tim: Except authors can use the setting of a story1 to prepare you for what’s coming. Jon: How so? 1. Setting acts as a stage from which the WATCH THE “SETTING IN BIBLICAL NARRATIVE” author positions the story. It frames VIDEO AND LEARN MORE AT THEBIBLEPROJECT.COM and orientates the reader to the “when” and “where” of the story. Tim: So let’s say a story begins in a courtroom. What do you think is going to happen? Jon: I expect a story about crime and justice. Tim: Yeah. Or how about the setting of a dark, old, run-down house? Jon: Oh, something scary is about to happen. Tim: Exactly. So settings evoke memories and emotions because of other stories you know that happened in similar places. The authors know this, and they can use settings to generate expectations about what could happen in this story.2 And a good author will get creative with settings, and they’ll mess with your expectations in order to make a point.

  • Glossary of Literary Terms
    Glossary of Critical Terms for Prose Adapted from “LitWeb,” The Norton Introduction to Literature Study Space http://www.wwnorton.com/college/english/litweb10/glossary/C.aspx Action Any event or series of events depicted in a literary work; an event may be verbal as well as physical, so that speaking or telling a story within the story may be an event. Allusion A brief, often implicit and indirect reference within a literary text to something outside the text, whether another text (e.g. the Bible, a myth, another literary work, a painting, or a piece of music) or any imaginary or historical person, place, or thing. Ambiguity When we are involved in interpretation—figuring out what different elements in a story “mean”—we are responding to a work’s ambiguity. This means that the work is open to several simultaneous interpretations. Language, especially when manipulated artistically, can communicate more than one meaning, encouraging our interpretations. Antagonist A character or a nonhuman force that opposes, or is in conflict with, the protagonist. Anticlimax An event or series of events usually at the end of a narrative that contrast with the tension building up before. Antihero A protagonist who is in one way or another the very opposite of a traditional hero. Instead of being courageous and determined, for instance, an antihero might be timid, hypersensitive, and indecisive to the point of paralysis. Antiheroes are especially common in modern literary works. Archetype A character, ritual, symbol, or plot pattern that recurs in the myth and literature of many cultures; examples include the scapegoat or trickster (character type), the rite of passage (ritual), and the quest or descent into the underworld (plot pattern).

POST-SOUL SPECULATION: AN EXPLORATION OF AFRO-SOUTHERN SPECULATIVE FICTION A Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Southern Studies The University of Mississippi by HILARY M. WORD May 2020 Copyright © Hilary M. Word 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. ABSTRACT This thesis is an examination of female authored, post-soul, Afro-Southern speculative fiction. The specific texts being examined are My Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due, Stigmata by Phyllis Alesia Perry, and Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward. Through exploration of these texts, I posit two large arguments. First, I posit that this thesis as a collective work illustrates how women-authored Afro-Southern speculative fiction based in the post-soul era embodies and champions womanist politics and praxis critical for liberation through speculative elements. Second, I assert that this thesis is demonstrative of how this particular type of fiction showcases the importance of specificity of setting and reflects other, often erased facets of African American identity and realities by centering the experiences of contemporary Black Southerners.

  • Response: Hamartia in Greco-Roman Context
    “Go and sin no more”? Brad Jersak QUESTION: In your blogpost, Missing What Mark? you mentioned that the traditional understanding of the Greek word translated “sin” is missing the mark. You suggested that the mark in question is not moralistic perfection. Instead, you said, the mark, goal or telos of humanity is union with God. Therefore, sin is not so much law-breaking behavior, but rather, turning away from the loving care of God. Repentance, then, would essentially involve turning from alienation and returning to the Father’s house and reconciling ourselves to his loving care. If I’ve understood you, does this approach still align with the literal sense of hamartia? RESPONSE: First, yes, you’ve understood me perfectly. And simply put, my approach to missing the mark is within the semantic range of hamartia since the word does literally mean missing the mark or to err. The thing is, hamartia never specifies what the mark refers to. A recipe of original context and our preferred theology determine what mark we’ve missed. As for hamartia or any other foreign term, we need to remember that when we translate ancient words, we aren’t using ancient dictionaries. We explore how the word is used in context—or rather, its various contexts over time, since the word may be used in different ways in different times and places. Hamartia is complex because it has multiple uses both within the Bible and elsewhere in Greek and Roman literature. I did some further fact-checking, which itself always warrants double- checking in the primary sources.

  • ELEMENTS of FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms That Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction
    Dr. Hallett ELEMENTS OF FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms that Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction” is defined as any imaginative re-creation of life in prose narrative form. All fiction is a falsehood of sorts because it relates events that never actually happened to people (characters) who never existed, at least not in the manner portrayed in the stories. However, fiction writers aim at creating “legitimate untruths,” since they seek to demonstrate meaningful insights into the human condition. Therefore, fiction is “untrue” in the absolute sense, but true in the universal sense. Critical Thinking – analysis of any work of literature – requires a thorough investigation of the “who, where, when, what, why, etc.” of the work. Narrator / Narrative Voice Guiding Question: Who is telling the story? …What is the … Narrative Point of View is the perspective from which the events in the story are observed and recounted. To determine the point of view, identify who is telling the story, that is, the viewer through whose eyes the readers see the action (the narrator). Consider these aspects: A. Pronoun p-o-v: First (I, We)/Second (You)/Third Person narrator (He, She, It, They] B. Narrator’s degree of Omniscience [Full, Limited, Partial, None]* C. Narrator’s degree of Objectivity [Complete, None, Some (Editorial?), Ironic]* D. Narrator’s “Un/Reliability” * The Third Person (therefore, apparently Objective) Totally Omniscient (fly-on-the-wall) Narrator is the classic narrative point of view through which a disembodied narrative voice (not that of a participant in the events) knows everything (omniscient) recounts the events, introduces the characters, reports dialogue and thoughts, and all details.

  • Important Elements in Narrative Text
    Important Elements in Narrative Text Narrative Comprehension and Literary Terminology Story-grammar components, based on the research of Mandler and Johnson (1977), Rumelhart (1977), Thorndyke (1977), Stein and Glenn (1979), and Trabasso and van den Broek (1985), define the typical structure of a fiction story. In studies of retellings, story events were found to occur in a similar pattern from story to story. The elements of narrative comprehension and literary terminology are listed and defined below. PLOT: “Plot is a sequence of events that occurs to characters in situations in the beginning, middle, and end of a story” (Hancock, 2004, p. 136). SETTING: The setting provides the reader with relevant information about the location and time of the story. The author usually gives a description of the time and place. A discussion of the setting is important to prepare the readers for the story. CHARACTERS: At the beginning of the story, along with the setting, the main characters are introduced. The goals of the main characters drive the plot of the story (i.e., goals, attempt/actions, and outcomes). INITIATING EVENT: The transition from the initial setting occurs when an initiating event causes a change of state in the story. If the initiating event did not occur, the story would stay in the setting. Each narrative contains an initiating event. EPISODES: The goal, attempt, and outcome sequences form the episodes of the story. GOAL: The goal is a reaction of the main character to the initiating event. The goal is what the character desires or wants in the story. A character’s goal may be unstated.

  • Introduction to the Paratext*
    Introduction to the Paratext* Gerard Genette HE LITERARY WORK consists, exhaustively or essentially, of a text, that is to say (a very minimal definition) in a more or less lengthy sequence of verbal utterances more or less con- taining meaning. But this text rarely appears in its naked state, without the reinforcement and accompaniment of a certain number of productions, themselves verbal or not, like an author's name, a title, a preface, illustrations. One does not always know if one should consider that they belong to the text or not, but in any case they surround it and prolong it, precisely in order to present it, in the usual sense of this verb, but also in its strongest meaning: to make it present, to assure its presence in the world, its "reception" and its consumption, in the form, nowadays at least, of a book. This accompaniment, of varying size and style, constitutes what I once christened elsewhere,' in conformity with the frequently ambiguous meaning of this prefix in French2--consider, I said, adjectives like parafiscal or paramilitary-the paratext of the work. Thus the paratext is for us the means by which a text makes a book of itself and proposes itself as such to its readers, and more generally to the public. Rather than with a limit or a sealed frontier, we are dealing in this case with a threshold, or-the term Borges used about a preface-with a "vestibule" which offers to anyone and everyone the possibility either of entering or of turning back. "An undecided zone"3 between the inside and the outside, itself without
