  • Organisms and Human Bodies As Contagions in the Post-Apocalyptic State
    CHAPTER 1 Organisms and Human Bodies as Contagions in the Post-Apocalyptic State Robert A. Booth n this chapter, I show how discourses of contagion and pollution not only imbue many post-apocalyptic cinema and television narratives but also mirror public discourse about immigration. Further, I examine the often- I 1 racialized immigrant in post-apocalyptic film and television that is, in essence, a discourse on insider–outsider social divisions and relationships of power. Finally, I elucidate the argument that post-apocalyptic film and television rein- force the primacy of centralized political authority, namely the State, and post- 9/11 post-apocalyptic film in particular reinforces the hegemony of the State. The post-apocalyptic subgenre of science fiction and/or horror has become popular fodder for cinema and television. As Susan Sontag notes, “the science fiction film . is concerned with the aesthetics of destruction, with the pecu- liar beauties to be found in wreaking havoc, making a mess. And it is in the imagery of destruction that the core of a good science fiction film lies.”2 Portrayals of the post-apocalypse often index or echo visual memories of terrible societal traumatic events of the past.3 With the experience of the social, political, economic, and emotional trauma of the 9/11 attacks, one might reasonably assume that Americans would acquire a distaste for graphic destructive violence. Certainly, after the attacks, filmmakers occasionally felt pressured to remove images of the Twin Towers or to change content that might evoke the tragedy, such as planes crashing into skyscrapers. However, post-apocalyptic genres remain ever popular in American television and cinema.

  • The Myth of Closure
    PROCESS The Myth of Closure PAULINE BOSS* DONNA CARNES† To read this article in Spanish, please see the article’s Supporting Information on Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/famp). Therapies for grief and loss have traditionally focused on the work of grieving. The goal was to reach an endpoint, now popularly called closure. There are, however, many people who, through no fault of their own, find a loss so unclear that there can be no end to grief. They have not failed in the work of grieving, but rather have suffered ambiguous loss, a type of loss that is inherently open ended. Instead of closure, the therapeutic goal is to help people find meaning despite the lack of definitive information and finality. Hope lies in increasing a family’s tolerance for ambiguity, but first, professionals must increase their own comfort with unanswered questions. In this article, the authors, one a poet, the other a family therapist and theorist, offer a unique blending of theory, reflection, and poetry to experientially deepen the process of self-reflection about a kind of loss that defies closure. Keywords: Ambiguous Loss; No Closure; Unresolved Loss; Unresolved Grief; Meaning Making; Sadness Versus Depression; Self-Reflection; Complex Grief Fam Proc 51:456–469, 2012 n the world of grief and mourning, there is a type of loss that defies closure even with Ihealthy families. It is called ambiguous loss, a term coined in the 1970s to illustrate a unique kind of loss when a loved one disappears in body or mind.1 A family member van- ishes physically with no verification of whereabouts or fate as dead or alive or fades away psychologically from dementia and other cognitive or emotional impairments.

  • The Desire to Feed Or the Desire to Be Fed?: the Entangled Relation
    Concentric: Studies in English Literature and Linguistics 29.1 (January 2003): 175-97. The Desire to Feed or the Desire to Be Fed?: The Entangled Relation Between Bloom and the Maternal ♣ Figure in Ulysses Tsung-huei Huang National Taiwan University Abstract The question as to whether Leopold Bloom, for all his gentleness and generosity, tends to have a biased conception of “woman” is a controversial one. Instead of charging Bloom with politically incorrect gender assumptions, this paper will argue that Bloom does not see all women through a distortional speculum. Woman’s role as a mother, for one thing, is far from being the target of Bloom’s disparagement. What significance does Bloom envisage in the maternal figure that prompts him to exempt the mother from the category of the threatening other? Seeking to penetrate into Bloom’s complicated relation with the maternal figure, this paper first sketches how Bloom shows his sympathy to- wards women whenever they are thought of as caretakers or murderers. I proceed to argue that his eagerness to identify with the mother can hardly escape our attention if we track Bloom’s desire to feed. Reading Bloom’s desire to feed from a psychoanalytic pers- pective, I demonstrate how this desire is entangled with womb envy and how Bloom’s own fantasy of becoming a mother can help him handle the trauma of losing his son. Further, I contend that Bloom’s identification with the mother is vindicated by his desire to be fed as well. The desire reveals Bloom’s underlying wish to be impregnated by the mother and thereby become a mother himself.

  • Barbara Johnson Was Spread Upon the Permanent Records of the Faculty
    At a meeting of the FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCES on October 6, 2015, the following tribute to the life and service of the late Barbara Johnson was spread upon the permanent records of the Faculty. BARBARA JOHNSON BORN: October 4, 1947 DIED: August 27, 2009 Barbara Johnson, a renowned thinker widely considered responsible for many of the major innovations in poststructuralism and deconstruction, started life near Cambridge, in Westwood, Massachusetts. A scholar of rare distinction from her earliest years, she was one of three Presidential Scholars from Massachusetts the year she graduated high school and went on to earn her undergraduate degree from Oberlin College in 1969 and her Ph.D. in French from Yale in 1977. At Yale Barbara’s professional rise began: she was a key member of the “Yale School” of literary theory (a group she later referred to as the “Male School”). Her thesis director was Paul de Man, whose place in the poststructuralist pantheon was secure until it wasn’t (a fall she addressed head-on in her writing). Her translations of Jacques Derrida’s work and her glosses on Lacanian psychoanalysis explicated the complexities of deconstruction for an American readership; through her grace and precision a generation of readers and critics came to understand literature as perpetually shifting ground, whose meaning could never be fixed and was always already multiple. Barbara was a professor at Harvard for 26 years in the departments of Romance Languages and Literatures, Comparative Literature, and English; in 2002, she was named the Frederic Wertham Professor of Law and Psychiatry in Society.

  • Media Translations of Fantasy Worlds
    A World of Difference: Media Translations of Fantasy Worlds Rachel Louise Mizsei Ward Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Film, Television and Media Studies May 2013 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there-from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Rachel Mizsei Ward University of East Anglia Abstract The modern consumer has access to a massively complex entertainment world. Many of the products available reveal a visible movement of popular fantasy worlds between different media. This transmedia process creates a strong link between film, merchandising and games; with all of these mediums borrowing from each other. This borrowing takes various forms, from licensed adaptations to unofficial copying of ideas, settings and characters as well as exploiting the different aesthetics and techniques of different media. Much of the scholarship on transmedia concentrates on storytelling, where a single overarching narrative unfolds over several different media. This thesis will move away from storytelling to consider how culture producers borrow the aesthetics, narratives and fantasy worlds from other sources, including computer games. This borrowing happens because it enables them to use transmedia functionality to gain market share from an already established audience who have a vested interested in, and enthusiasm for, an established world. Most of this borrowing happens around specific genres – especially fantasy, science fiction and horror. These genres are particularly wide-ranging and emphasise the possibilities of worldbuilding, making then good sources for multi-media franchises.
