Hemingway's Mixed Drinks: an Examination of the Varied Representation of Alcohol Across the Author's Canon
OLIPHANT, ASHLEY YARBROUGH, Ph.D. Hemingway’s Mixed Drinks: An Examination of the Varied Representation of Alcohol Across the Author’s Canon. (2007) Directed by Dr. Scott Romine. 214 pp. The purpose of this research was to determine how alcohol functions in four main texts: The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, The Old Man and the Sea and In Our Time. Because of Ernest Hemingway’s self-perpetuated image as a literary celebrity, scholars have historically used his public persona (and their diagnoses of his perceived alcoholism and other medical conditions) to speculate about its impact on his work. This study establishes the importance of first addressing the textual evidence relating to Hemingway’s crafting of symbols, characters and plots before the biography of the author enters the critical conversation. The project defines and examines important terms relevant to Hemingway’s representation of alcohol, including “saturated” and “dry” fiction, “situational dryness,” “communal consumption” and “restorative drinking.” When applicable, Hemingway’s characters are viewed within the context of their Lost Generation existence to challenge the critical notion that the post-war experience for the author’s characters (particularly those who consume alcohol) is static from text to text. Hemingway’s drinkers are explored instead as individuals with varied impetuses for imbibing (whether in moderation or in excess), and his non- drinkers and occasional consumers are examined at length to provide a complete picture of the role of consumption across the four works. The data taken from these considerations leads to the conclusion that contrary to the critical consensus, Hemingway’s depiction of alcohol sometimes reverses the dichotomous relationships it has long been believed to support. -
Va‟O Mai I Te Akao: Beyond the Reef
Va‟o mai i te Akao: Beyond the reef Transnational health promotion among Cook Islands people Rochelle Newport Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Health Science (Honours) University of Auckland 2011 I Abstract Introduction Transnationalism describes the social spaces and ties migrant communities maintain with their country of origin. These spaces are used for multiple purposes including health promotion, and social support. Cook Islanders have a long history of migration to New Zealand and there is evidence which suggest strong social networks and ties exist between Cook Islanders in New Zealand and the Cook Islands. The transnational ties Cook Islanders maintain are potential sites for health promotion activities. This research has investigated transnational health promotion activities with Cook Islanders using health promotion activities to reduce the prevalence of obesity as a lens. Methods Participant observations and interviews were conducted in Rarotonga, Cook Islands and Auckland, New Zealand. Observations were recorded in field notes and a thematic analysis was conducted. Findings Health promotion in the Cook Islands takes a multi-level approach consistent with a socio-ecological approach to health promotion. Food, culture and physical activity are interrelated among Cook Islanders and the cultural implications of health promotional activities should be accounted for during programme development. Cook Islanders maintain reciprocal social networks and share resources for health gain. Among the interviewees a desire and need for collaboration to share skills and resources for health promotion was expressed. Conclusion There is potential for health promotion activities in the Cook Islands to operate transnationally utilising transnational social spaces as a site for community capacity building. -
Clark 1 Half Moon She Held the Bay in Her Eyes, Green As the Sea, Looking
Clark 1 Half Moon She held the bay in her eyes, green as the sea, looking at the waves of sparkling glass that moved across the Atlantic. At age thirty-nine, Amelia’s hair unfurled, like black seaweed in the autumn wind. Her skin turned brown in the sunset, her figure, a dark contrasting silhouette, letting in all of the remaining light, eclipsing her body. This scene was all for her, the ocean, the sand, the birds, everything. But soon, she would have to leave it behind. Amelia was on break from serving at the Ocean Palace, a restaurant and bar built on the docks overlooking the Kachemak Bay. From the outside, the business looked like a two-story shack with its crooked boards and peeling layers of white paint. Inside, the upstairs was filled with wooden tables covered in white dining cloth. The tables sat on a black carpet with white etches of dolphins, whales and various other sea life. An old chandelier hung from the ceiling, like a conglomeration of fishhooks reflecting light. The room was dim and had windows on three sides with the ocean and masts staring back in. Downstairs, the bar had a small stage where local musicians sometimes performed with a bucket for tourists to drop money in. The bar was like any other with its neon signs of various beers and hard alcohol. It had only two windows in the wall facing the ocean. Many of the sailors and fishermen passing through filled the air with smoke to mix in with the scent of fish guts and booze. -

Research demonstrates that legislation, access, changing gender roles, identity, marketing and culture contribute to the current desire that many young people, including women, have for the excessive consumption of alcohol. The current study sought to explore popular youth culture, namely music videos, to understand the ways in which young women engage with and understand such media and the role it plays in drinking cultures. Three music videos were used to stimulate discussions surrounding gender, identity and alcohol consumption among four friendship groups, each containing three female participants. Participants were aged between 18-25 years and came from mixed ethnic backgrounds in Auckland, New Zealand. Three music videos were selected for their inclusion of portrayals of femininity and binge drinking (by Katy Perry, The Paradiso Girls and Cobra Starship). The music videos were shown to the groups, and questions prompted discussion following each. The discussions were transcribed verbatim, and subjected to a discursive analysis which identified four key discourses that participants drew on during their discussions. -

PACIFIC ISLANDS (Fiji, Samoa, Tonga)
PACIFIC ISLANDS (Fiji, Samoa, Tonga) Who is a Pacific Islander? The “Pacific Islands” is how we are described because of our geographic location, “Islands, geographically located in the Pacific Ocean”. Today, we will talk and share with educators, health experts, and community members of the three dominant Pacific Islander populations who live in San Mateo County, namely, Fijians, Samoans, and Tongans. PACIFIC ISLAND NATIONS • When you talk about the Pacific Islands, you are talking about different Island Nations. • Different heads of countries, from kings to presidents, etc. Even different forms of government. • Some are independent countries, yet some are under the rule of a foreign power. PACIFIC ISLAND NATIONS • Each Island Nation has their own language. • There is not one language that is used or understood by all Pacific Islanders. • There are some similarities but each island nation has it’s own unique characteristics. • Challenge in grouping the islands as just one group, “Pacific Islanders”. ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC GREETINGS • From the Islands of Fiji “Bula Vinaka” • From the Islands of Samoa “Talofa Lava” • From the Kingdom of Tonga “Malo e Lelei” • From Chamorro “Hafa Adai” • From Tahiti “Ia Orana” • From Niue “Fakalofa atu” • From NZ Maoris “Tena Koe” • From Hawaii “Aloha” FIJI ISLANDS • Group of volcanic islands in the South Pacific, southwest of Honolulu. • Total of 322 islands, just over 100 are inhabited. • Biggest island Viti Levu, is the size of the “Big Island” of Hawaii. • Larger islands contain mountains as high as 4,000 feet. PEOPLE OF FIJI • Indigenous people are Fijians who are a mixture of Polynesian and Melanesian. -
GOOD, ADRIAN BRINTON, M.A. Investigating Relationships with Alcohol: the Construction of Meaning Through Narrative in Interview Situations
GOOD, ADRIAN BRINTON, M.A. Investigating Relationships with Alcohol: The Construction of Meaning through Narrative in Interview Situations. (2013) Directed by Dr. Steve Kroll-Smith. 211 pp. Relationships between humans are comprised of many interwoven facets. So are relationships between humans and alcohol. This pilot research project attempts to conceptualize a few of the components that exist in the latter relationship and demonstrate an approach that may be used for additional investigation in the future. Ten male college students discussed their history with alcohol in an interview setting and, in doing so, described ways in which they developed relationships with the substance. Discussion of familial socialization focused on lessons centered on culture and/or moderation. Informants embedded discussion of the continued development of these relationships in discussion with components they considered to be important to their life stories. Much of the language used to put words around these relationships was divided into vernaculars of intent and vernaculars of strategy. These groupings allow for a rich understanding of different motivations that rest behind alcohol-related decisions and ways people categorize and understand different types of drinking behavior. Structuring the data in this manner creates an understanding of different alcohol-related desires and a variety of drinking styles that people use to achieve these ends. As alcohol can impact a situation in unpredictable ways, attempts to match strategy with intent may fail. Some of these strategies, such as alcoholic drinking, are not portrayed in a favorable manner. With this in mind, a struggle for control is embedded in the vernaculars of strategy. -
