Prizing Cycles of Marginalization: Paired Progression and Regression in Award-Winning LGBTQ-themed YA Fiction Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christine N. Stamper Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Mollie V. Blackburn, Advisor Michelle Ann Abate Linda T. Parsons 1 Copyrighted by Christine N. Stamper 2018 2 Abstract This dissertation is a text-based analysis of young adult novels that have won LGBTQ-focused awards, specifically the Stonewall Book Award and Lambda Literary Award. The project engages with queer theory (Puar; Duggan; Ferguson; Halberstam) and the frameworks of cultural capital and prizing canon formation (English; Kidd and Thomas; Kidd). Looking at the 61 YA novels that have been recognized by either Stonewall or Lambda between 2010 and 2017, I provide statistics about the identities, themes, and ideologies of and about LGBTQ people that are prominent within the awards’ canons. Pairing these statistics close readings of representative texts provides a rich analysis of the way these awards both subvert and uphold understandings of those minoritized for their gender or sexuality. Stonewall and Lambda aim to promote novels that provide diverse and inclusive LGBTQ representations. However, these representations construct understandings of LGBTQ identity that support hetero-, homo- and cisnormative constructions that are palatable to adult and heteronormative culture. Throughout, I refer to this often paradoxical balance as the pairing of progression and regression. I explore not only what is considered excellence but also how these texts construct a vision of LGBTQ lives that still fit within oppressive models of society. Throughout my analysis, I additionally examine the difference between white LGBTQ ii characters and LGBTQ characters of color to discuss the intersecting marginalizations of these populations, as well as promoting more inclusive and just scholarship. In this way, my dissertation shows how Stonewall and Lambda’s simultaneously rebellious and oppressive nature blur the lines between heteronormativity, homonormativity, homonationalism, multiculturalism, and progressivism. iii Dedication To all the strong women in my life: Megan, Mom, Maggie, Leigh, and Sarah. And especially Kaitie. You earned your little h. I like you, and I love you. iv Acknowledgments This project would not have been possible without the backing of a support system that spans the country. I am so grateful for everyone who believed in my work and has never been more than a call or email away. To my advisor, Mollie Blackburn, who never stopped pushing me to do and be better. Your guidance and ideas always pointed me toward richer and needed lines of thought. I cannot thank you enough for the hours spent reading version after version of each chapter, and always being willing to help me work through a problem. You are one of the kindest and most brilliant women I’ve had the privilege of working with. To the members of my committee. Michelle Ann Abate, for being a constant champion of both my work and me. Your positive energy and prolific work are an inspiration. Thank you for the opportunities for growth, and the many gif conversations. And to Linda Parsons, for your never-ending kindness. Knowing you are supporting me throughout this process has been a source of comfort. This experience would be much lonelier without my amazing LCYA family. In particular, Rachel, Rebekah, and Mary Catherine. Thank you for all the laughs, text chains, and support. I could not have made it through this without you. To my parents. I am incapable of saying the words needed to fully thank you for all of your support throughout the years. You raised me to believe that anything was v possible and that passions are worth following. It might not be basket-weaving, but I finally found my path. Thank you for your unwavering faith, encouragement, and love. I’m lucky to have you as my parents. To my family for your support, love, and belief in me. In particular, Brian and Elena for your ongoing generosity. To my friends who have dealt with many cancelled plans, random “does this paragraph make sense?!” messages, and the general chaos of my life these past four years. Megan, thank you for listening to my endless nonsense rants, and always enjoying a good award show with me. Sarah, thanks for the “frandship.” And, finally, to Kaitie. Thank you for knowing me better than myself and shoving me onto this path despite my reservations and fears. For all the lonely nights, hard weeks, and added stress. I’m lucky to call you my friend and wife. I can never thank you enough for being the amazing woman you are, you beautiful land mermaid. I love you. vi Vita 2014-Present Graduate Teaching Associate, Teaching and Learning, The Ohio State University 2017 M.A. in Education: Teaching and Learning, The Ohio State University 2009 B.A. in English, University of Michigan Publications Winter 2018 Rickard Rebellino, Rachel, and Christine N.

    The Divine Alchemy of J. R. R. Tolkien's the Silmarillion David C

    The Divine Alchemy of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion David C. Priester, Jr. Gray, GA B.A., English and Philosophy, Vanderbilt University, 2017 A Thesis presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Master of Arts Department of English University of Virginia May, 2020 Abstract J. R. R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion demonstrates a philosophy of creative imagination that is expressed in argumentative form in Tolkien’s essay “On Fairy Stories.” Fully appreciating the imaginative architecture of Tolkien’s fantastic cosmos requires considering his creative work in literary and theological dimensions simultaneously. Creative writing becomes a kind of spiritual activity through which the mind participates in a spiritual or theological order of reality. Through archetypal patterns Tolkien’s fantasy expresses particular ways of encountering divine presence in the world. The imagination serves as a faculty of spiritual perception. Tolkien’s creative ethic resonates with the theological aesthetics of Hans Urs von Balthasar, a consideration of which helps to illuminate the relationship of theology and imaginative literature in The Silmarillion. Creative endeavors may be seen as analogous to the works of alchemists pursuing the philosopher’s stone through the transfiguration of matter. The Silmarils symbolize the ideal fruits of creative activity and are analogous to the philosopher’s stone. Priester 1 The Divine Alchemy of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion Where shall we begin our study of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion? The beginning seems like a very good place to start: “There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought” (3).

    FROM “TELLING TRANSGENDER STORIES” TO “TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TELLING STORIES”: TRANSGENDER LITERATURE AND THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARDS, 1997-2017 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Andrew J. Young May 2018 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Dustin Kidd, Advisory Chair, Sociology Dr. Judith A. Levine, Sociology Dr. Tom Waidzunas, Sociology Dr. Heath Fogg Davis, External Member, Political Science © Copyright 2018 by Andrew J. Yo u n g All Rights Res erved ii ABSTRACT Transgender lives and identities have gained considerable popular notoriety in the past decades. As part of this wider visibility, dominant narratives regarding the “transgender experience” have surfaced in both the community itself and the wider public. Perhaps the most prominent of these narratives define transgender people as those living in the “wrong body” for their true gender identity. While a popular and powerful story, the wrong body narrative has been criticized as limited, not representing the experience of all transgender people, and valorized as the only legitimate identifier of transgender status. The dominance of this narrative has been challenged through the proliferation of alternate narratives of transgender identity, largely through transgender people telling their own stories, which has the potential to complicate and expand the social understanding of what it means to be transgender for both trans- and cisgender communities. I focus on transgender literature as a point of entrance into the changing narratives of transgender identity and experience. This work addresses two main questions: What are the stories being told by trans lit? and What are the stories being told about trans literature? What follows is a series of separate, yet linked chapters exploring the contours of transgender literature, largely through the context of the Lambda Literary Awards over the past twenty years.
