  • Demons & Devils: the Moral Panic Surrounding Dungeons & Dragons
    Demons & Devils: The Moral Panic Surrounding Dungeons & Dragons, 1979-1991 by Austin Wilson Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: David Farber, Thesis Coordinator Sheyda Jahanbani, Committee Member David Roediger, Committee Member Date Defended: 4/24/2019 1 On June 9, 1982 Irving “Bink” Pulling committed suicide by shooting himself in the chest. His distraught mother Patricia Pulling attempted to find out what had driven her son to such extreme measures. In her search for answers she laid the blame squarely on Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), in which Bink had been heavily involved. Patricia Pulling started the organization Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons (BADD) in 1983. BADD crusaded against roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. As she would argue in many works that she subsequently published, including her 1989 manifesto, The Devil’s Web: Who is Stalking Your Children for Satan?, Dungeons & Dragons was a dangerous game that put the lives and moral virtues of youths at risk by serving as an entry point to the occult.1 This paper will argue that there was a moment of crisis centered around the family in the period and the broader discussion of youth entertainment which allowed for BADD to gain traction. By examining pamphlets produced by BADD and Patricia Pulling’s appearance on shows like 60 Minutes the dogma of the group can be understood. By juxtaposing other pieces of media that a parent may have seen in the same period such as the senate hearing for parental advisory labels on music and anti-drug PSAs this paper will illustrate the ways that people were primed by other panics of the period to believe that D&D could be dangerous.

  • Princeton Prayer Letters Street Evangelism
    Princeton Prayer Letter, Princeton, NJ (Sept. 22, 2006) Friday Night in Princeton. One of the slowest nights we’ve seen in a long time in Princeton. Six people were present to witness/evangelize on 09/22/06. Elyse and Roberto – Two teens from Princeton area. Elyse took 2QT and flunked it. Then she admitted to breaking at least 3 of the 10C’s. When we discussed forgiveness being given by God, even after a life of sin, she balked. Thought that it was too easy for a murderer to get off the hook. She had trouble really accepting the idea of grace since she was from a R/C background. But she did not like the Catholic Church and had basically left it. But she still retained some of their “works” mentality. She took a Gospel of John and a More Than a Carpenter book with her. Roberto was very quiet and finally asked if he could worship Satan tonight and then tomorrow become Born Again, “could he do it”? I said “yes”, but that if he persisted in sin his heart would get harder and harder. He wanted to wait until later to get this “good deal” of forgiveness. I asked him when he would die, and he said probably in the next two weeks since he smoked ten packs a day. But he got my point that he has no idea of the time of his death. We gave him the Scripture that “now is the time of salvation,” and told him, “Don’t wait until it is too late.” Courtney and her friend stopped to speak with us.

  • The Visual Culture of Chick Tracts and Its Problems with Communication Philip Forness 7 August 2008
    The Visual Culture of Chick Tracts and Its Problems with Communication Philip Forness 7 August 2008 2 I. Introduction In the 1960s, a group of comic artists began to differentiate their comic books from those that were prevalent in the first half of the twentieth century. Although many chroniclers of what came to be called the Underground Comics Movement have dated the beginnings of the movement to Robert Crumb’s Zap Comix in 1968 (Figure 1), it is readily admitted that there had been traces of the movement’s ideas before. In any case, from Crumb’s series the movement spread widely, notably including Harvey Kurtzmann of MAD Magazine, and later including Art Spiegelman, won the Pulitzer Prize for Maus. The earliest works in the movement display a deliberate disregard for taboos on portraying sexual scenes, exploring drug use, and challenging political assumptions (see Figure 2). Likewise, some artists of the movement used the comic book medium to satirize religion. Most notably, Frank Stack under the pseudonym Foolbert Sturgeon wrote The New Adventures of Jesus, a series of comics exploring how ridiculous it would be were Jesus in modern culture (see Figure 3). These themes attracted an adult crowd interested in defining themselves against the contemporary norm. While these comic artists were not the first to use comics for discourse among adults, their comics marked the first time that a widely-recognized, sustained subculture would emerge around adult-comics. Matthew Pustz observes that the comic artists’ willingness to portray drug use “worked to reinforce the community between the creators and their audience by emphasizing their shared experience.”1 Reveling in their otherness defined against the prim and proper façade of the 1960s, a family of collectors and creators formed around these comic books that would play a role in the progressive movements of the coming decades.

  • The Controversy Surrounding Bewitched and Harry Potter Natalie
    Georgia Institute of Technology Which Witch? The Controversy Surrounding Bewitched and Harry Potter Natalie F. Turbiville Department of History, Technology, and Society Georgia Institute of Technology Undergraduate Thesis Friday, April 25, 2008 Advisor: Dr. Douglas Flamming Second Reader: Dr. August Giebelhaus 2 Abstract Beginning in 1999, J.K. Rowling began to receive criticism about her Harry Potter series, which was first published in 1997. Christian Fundamentalists in opposition to the books argued that occult themes present in the series were harmful to the spiritual development of children. Those in opposition cited the negative response to the popular TV series Bewitched during its initial airing in the 1960s as grounds for rejecting Harry Potter . This connection was made because the popular television series and the successful book series both contained witchcraft elements; however, this connection is false. Primary sources show that Bewitched was not challenged based on the issue of witchcraft during its initial airing in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite modern Christian fundamentalists’ claims, the modern negative response to Bewitched is built on contemporary reflection. When Christian fundamentalists seek to prove that their outcry against the witchcraft used in Harry Potter is not unique it is suggested that America had rejected a form of media based on witchcraft when the public spoke out against Bewitched in the 1960s. In fact, the claim that Bewitched received criticism during its initial airing is incorrect. My research shows a direct contemporary correlation between the protest to Harry Potter beginning in 1999 and the rejection of Bewitched by Christian fundamentalists based on the issue of witchcraft.

This dissertation examines the use of Gospel tracts in the construction of evangelical identity. Often overlooked as mere ephemera, tracts can be used as windows into the lived religious behavior of ordinary Evangelicals. While nominally tools of outreach, the efficacy of tract distribution is often called into question. However as artifacts of religious and cultural behavior, gospel tracts also shed light on the ways in which certain evangelical communities construct borders of identity between themselves, secular society and rival religious groups. Archival research was employed in the gathering of historical documents from tract literature databases. Contemporary material was obtained through excavation of online literature and found ephemera.
