  • Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler a Dissertati
    Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Chair Ann Anagnost Stevan Harrell Danny Hoffman Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology ©Copyright 2018 Darren T. Byler University of Washington Abstract Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies This study argues that Uyghurs, a Turkic-Muslim group in contemporary Northwest China, and the city of Ürümchi have become the object of what the study names “terror capitalism.” This argument is supported by evidence of both the way state-directed economic investment and security infrastructures (pass-book systems, webs of technological surveillance, urban cleansing processes and mass internment camps) have shaped self-representation among Uyghur migrants and Han settlers in the city. It analyzes these human engineering and urban planning projects and the way their effects are contested in new media, film, television, photography and literature. It finds that this form of capitalist production utilizes the discourse of terror to justify state investment in a wide array of policing and social engineering systems that employs millions of state security workers. The project also presents a theoretical model for understanding how Uyghurs use cultural production to both build and refuse the development of this new economic formation and accompanying forms of gendered, ethno-racial violence.

  • Journal of the Amerimn Museum of Fly Fishing
    Journal of the Amerimn Museum of Fly Fishing WINTER 2~03 VOLUME 19 NUMBER I Trout Memories and Pike Tales caught and released my first trout in April 1989 on the Beaverlull. My memory of this is pretty good, I think, Ialthough it's not as vivid as perhaps it should be. I know the date because my husband saved the black stonefly nymph and framed it in a shadowbox-an act of historical documentation close to the date of the actual event. When we lived in the D.C. area, we'd sometimes drive up to Big Hunting Creek, a favorite haunt of my high school days. I must have occasionally caught fish there, but I can't remember any particular fish. Maybe I didn't catch any. What I remember is being happy on the familiar creek, away from the city. What if I did vividly remember these fishing trips? Would I be right in their detail? How much of memory is what actual- ly happened, and how much of it is remembering the story we tell ourselves about what happened? How do the details change over time? Paul Schullery was doing a lot of fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park thirty years ago when he first began reading By noting the first published claim of pike not taking the about the sport's history. On the must-read list was Edward R. artificial fly as bait (Robert Venables, The Experience'd Angler, Hewitt, who, it turned out, had written quite the account of 1662), Frederick Buller makes the argument that people have fishing the park in the early 1880s.

  • Seth Green Father of Fish Culture
    Edited by DEXTER PERKINS, City Historian and BLAKE MCKELVEY, Assistant City Historian Vol. VI JULY, 1944 No. 3 Seth Green Father of Fish Culture By SYLVIA R. BLACK Background Over 125 years ago, Adonijah Green, farmer, cleared the woods on the present site of Culver Road and Empire Boulevard. He had come here with his wife a few years before 1817, either directly from England or from the New England States, knowing that the rich earth of the Genesee country, bearing huge forests, could be made produc- tive. Here he hewed the hard timber, which was abundant in the forest, and built his one-story, square, log cabin. It was a primitive home, with rough boards for a floor, a door fastened by a wooden latch with string, and a chimney made of sticks and plastered with clay. The many cracks were stuffed with sticks and clay to keep out the wind and rain. Two small square windows admitted light. In this primitive home a son, Seth, destined to become famous, to meet with Presidents and to be honored by foreign countries, was born on March 19, 1817. Seth was trained very early in the ways of a pioneer farmer’s son-how to sow wheat and corn and how to thresh the grain with flails. Seth learned quickly, and it was not long before Adonijah could rely on him to help trap the small animals so abund- ant in the forest, and to reel in a good-sized fish. During the winter, dressed in his warm buckskin breeches and flaxen shirts made by Mrs.

  • The Secret of Terror Castle!”
    Terror Castle | 1 THETHE SECRETSECRET OFOF TERRORTERROR CASTLECASTLE Robert Arthur Terror Castle | 2 NOTICE TO THE READER: You are under no obligation whatever to read a single word of this introduction. ALFRED HITCHCOCK Terror Castle | 3 IINTRODUCTION I SEEM TO BE constantly introducing something. For years I’ve been introducing my television programmes. I’ve introduced motion pictures. And I’ve introduced books of mystery, ghost and suspense stories for my fans to shiver with. Now I find myself introducing a trio of lads who call themselves The Three Investigators, and ride in a gold-plated Rolls-Royce, solving mysteries, riddles, enigmas and conundrums of all kinds. Preposterous, isn’t it? Frankly I would prefer to have nothing to do with these three youths, but I rashly promised to introduce them. And I am a man of my word – even though the promise was extorted from me by nothing less than sheer skulduggery, as you will see. To the business at hand, then. The three boys who call themselves The Three Investigators are Bob Andrews, Pete Crenshaw, and Jupiter Jones, all of whom live in Rocky Beach, a small city on the shore of the Pacific Ocean some miles from Hollywood. Bob Andrews, who is small but wiry, is something of a scholarly type, although with an adventurous spirit. Pete Crenshaw is quite tall and muscular. Jupiter Jones is – well, I shall refrain from giving you my own personal opinion of Jupiter Jones. You will have to decide about him for yourself after reading the pages that follow. I shall simply stick to the facts.

And she said he was really nice.” Suzie was walking to school with her cousin, Mac. Only Suzie nev- er just walked. Suzie twirled. Always. “A goat? Goats don’t live in houses or have furniture. You got it all wrong. As usual.” Mac was ten and three quarters. Suzie had just turned eight. Suzie did a giant twirl, kicking up dust. “You’ll see, smarty pants.” They ran into their kitchen in search of food, just like they did every day after school. Only today…was different. Because today, standing in the kitchen, was a goat, wearing an apron while searching through their cabinets. “Hi! I bet you’re our new neighbor. I’m Suzie and this is my cousin, Mac. He’s ten and three quarters. I’m eight. He lives with us ‘cuz his mom died and his dad is off in the jungles somewhere looking for the Terror Bird.” Mac rolled his eyes. “Tell him our whole life story, why don’t you?” “Good afternoon,” the goat said, handing them a plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.
