    La Brea and Beyond: The Paleontology of Asphalt-Preserved Biotas Edited by John M. Harris Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Science Series 42 September 15, 2015 Cover Illustration: Pit 91 in 1915 An asphaltic bone mass in Pit 91 was discovered and exposed by the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art in the summer of 1915. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History resumed excavation at this site in 1969. Retrieval of the “microfossils” from the asphaltic matrix has yielded a wealth of insect, mollusk, and plant remains, more than doubling the number of species recovered by earlier excavations. Today, the current excavation site is 900 square feet in extent, yielding fossils that range in age from about 15,000 to about 42,000 radiocarbon years.

My committee, in particular, has been a dream team, in Robin Kelley’s sense of the word. Each has inspired a belief in achieving the impossible and doing so with grace, integrity, depth, and health. Each committee member in their own way has modeled for me the kind of scholar and professor I hope to become. For their generosity, patience, and faith as I waddled through this project, I thank them. Each are snappy dressers in my humble opinion, a fact that has been neither inconsequential nor unimportant in my growth and development as a scholar of costume and performance. Thank you. My gratitude to the U.C. Riverside Department of Dance for being a fertile intellectual climate to journey as a graduate student. I thank my graduate colleagues and friends – with special mention of Hannah Schwadron, dancer, friend, and yoga instructor – for suggesting that doing a downward dog could inspire a new world view, in seconds.

  • The Present Elsewhere: Theorizing an Aesthetics of Displacement in Contemporary African American and Postcolonial Literatures
    THE PRESENT ELSEWHERE: THEORIZING AN AESTHETICS OF DISPLACEMENT IN CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN AMERICAN AND POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURES Mary Alice Kirkpatrick A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Minrose Gwin William L. Andrews Pamela Cooper Rebecka Rutledge Fisher Trudier Harris © 2010 Mary Alice Kirkpatrick ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mary Alice Kirkpatrick: The Present Elsewhere: Theorizing an Aesthetics of Displacement in Contemporary African American and Postcolonial Literatures (Under the direction of Minrose Gwin) “The Present Elsewhere” investigates the aesthetic traits and political implications of displacement in contemporary African American, Caribbean, and Canadian works. Arguing that displacement resonates textually, I interrogate the degree to which artists purposely leave their works in states of flux. Framed through the lens of nomadic, transitional figures (including diasporic cultural orphans, child clairvoyants, and reincarnated ghosts), this project develops the notion of an aesthetics of displacement – that is to say, an aesthetics informed by political urgency. Writers such as Michael Ondaatje, Toni Cade Bambara, and Octavia Butler rearrange customary geographic and chronological placements, unsettle narrative lines, and challenge shared histories of oppression. Propelled into active engagement, readers are encouraged to adopt new roles as migrants and witnesses. The political significance of works that displace radiates externally, as readers are directed toward sites of change well beyond the confines of individual texts. By bringing together seemingly divergent traditions, “The Present Elsewhere” examines the specific historical conditions, cultural backgrounds, and geographic contexts that produce sites of displacement within the Caribbean island, U.

    Tar by dallas jones Genre SciFi/Horror/Suspense Logline In America’s deepest coal mine, EPA inspectors, intent on shutting down the industry, face death as nature and a malevolent being slaughter using mankind’s deepest fears. Tagline One’s true nature is revealed when facing their ultimate fears. Man is a fearful creature!

  • “He Mought, En Den Again He Moughtent”: the Ambiguous Man in Toni Morrison's Tar Baby
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 50:1 (2018), pp. 63-82. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). “He Mought, en Den Again He Moughtent”: The Ambiguous Man in Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby Tuula Kolehmainen University of Helsinki Abstract: In this article, I discuss Toni Morrison’s 1981 novel, Tar Baby, through the lens of a trickster tale on which the novel is loosely based. Tar Baby invites one to choose sides between Jadine, the African American female protagonist with a Eu- ropean education and worldviews, or Son, the bearer of a more traditional African American cultural heritage and values. Son is initially constructed as other, and his representation is based on negative stereotypical notions of the African American male. First impressions need to be revised later, as the text plays with the readers’ sympathies about Son. Even his survival is left open at the end of the novel and the range of options of how to categorize Son would seem to reflect the readers’ percep- tions back on themselves. In this way, Morrison sets up a trap in which any reader making too easy or essentialist definitions of the character will fall. Thus, the most important expression of the trickster tale is the novel’s name: the novel itself is the tar baby. Moreover, the most important construction of tar lies in the ambiguous repre- sentation of Son. Keywords: African American, stereotypes, trickster, tar baby, racism There is an old tale of Brer Rabbit and tar baby, which was originally brought with the slave ships to North America from West Africa.1 In the 1 I am referring here to a version in one of Joel Chandler Harris’ Uncle Remus books.

For any language lover, the words in these emails are delicious. Even as someone who has devoted a career to language, I’m often surprised by the weight of a single word. Take, for instance, “pareidolia,” or “the tendency to see a specific pattern or meaningful images in random stimulus.”1 That single word encompasses such a powerful memory of time spent in youth staring at the clouds and imagining stories floating across the sky. Each of these daily vocab nuggets is linked by a weekly theme: sometimes the words are connected linguistically while other times the similarities are found in historical events or even cultural movements. These emails recently paid homage to the 50th anniversary of the moon landing with words like “lunule,” the white, crescent shaped area at the bottom of a fingernail.2 Such a word is bound to score you some Jeopardy! or Trivial Pursuit points.
