  • The Trees of Balboa Park by Nancy Carol Carter
    The Trees of Balboa Park By Nancy Carol Carter Landscape architect Samuel H. Parsons, Jr. noted with enthusiasm the growth of trees and shrubs in City Park when he returned to San Diego in 1910. Five years had elapsed since his New York firm had submitted a comprehensive master plan for the layout of the 1,400 acres set aside as a park in 1868, but mostly left in a natural state for the next few decades. Parsons had returned to San Diego because the city had decided to host an international exposition in 1915. He was hired this time to assess progress on City Park’s master plan and to suggest improvements in all of San Diego’s parks. He thought San Diego had made good progress in engi- neering roads and otherwise fulfilling the landscape plan of City Park.1 His formal report to the park commissioners, submitted June 28, 1910, includes a description of trees and other plantings in the park. By the time Parsons wrote this report, City Park had been in existence for forty-two years and was estimated to contain about 20,000 healthy trees and shrubs. The park commission kept careful records of 2,357 shrubs and vines planted in 1909, but earlier landscape records are sketchy.2 In 1902, Parsons had suggested that the mesas be left open to preserve the stunning views stretching from the mountains to the ocean. “Overplanting is a common mistake everywhere,” he said, “A park is too often perverted to a sort of botanical garden, where a heterogeneous lot of plants are gathered together and massed in a haphazard fashion.”3 He was trying to help San Diegans understand the difference between a park and botanical garden and perhaps obliquely com- menting on the hodgepodge of homegrown efforts to develop the park before 1910.

  • American Animals, American Men: Popular Literature from 1830 to 1915
    AMERICAN ANIMALS, AMERICAN MEN: POPULAR LITERATURE FROM 1830 TO 1915 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Stephen D. Kelly December 2020 Examining Committee Members: Miles Orvell, Advisory Chair, English James Salazar, English Talissa Ford, English Matt Wray, External Member, Sociology ii © Copyright 2020 by Stephen D. Kelly All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Critics of animal rights often deride the movement’s proponents for having a sentimental, juvenile misconception of what animals really are, an argument bolstered by the fact that few twenty-first-century Americans besides those engaged in the industries of animal exploitation have any prolonged contact with real animals other than their pets. Until the first decades of the twentieth century, however, American cities teemed with diverse animal residents and workers, and a rapidly increasing percentage of humans grew in their conviction that these animal neighbors should be extended considerations and rights. Shifting ideas about these animals’ roles within United States society were captured in a number of new bestselling literary genres centered around “realistic” depictions of animal characters. Because animals are often conceptualized as a “contrast class” to humanity—a fundamental “Other” by which humans establish what qualities make themselves distinct and (typically) superior—analyzing these texts and their circulation within nineteenth- century culture reveals how Americans understood authority and systems of governance, and in particular how they modeled an ideal American manhood nourished by animal bodies. What forms of exploitation and control were permissible in a man’s treatment of his animals often reflected other power dynamics within society, and so these texts also provide insight into issues of class, race, and gender.

  • Masculinity and the Gothic in US Television
    98 Men with Stakes: Masculinity and the Gothic in US Television Julia M. Wright Jamil Mustafa, Lewis University Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2016 ISBN: 9780719097706, 186pp. £70.00 The punning title of Julia M. Wright’s latest book, Men with Stakes, underscores her appreciation for the multiplicity of meaning. The book’s cover, a detail shot from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (‘Lies My Parents Told Me’ 7.17), shows the vampire Spike and Robin Wood, the son of a slayer murdered by Spike when Wood was a boy, grappling over a wooden stake. These two, with their phallic-symbol names, are men with stakes both literal and figurative. They are also men with stakes in the outcome of a life-and-death conflict. The book’s cover thus prefigures the argument Wright makes within its pages: that men with stakes are heavily invested in a struggle (with fathers, father figures, and the culture at large) over masculinity – and that, more broadly, ‘[a]t stake’ is ‘how meaning is produced’ (22). Wright sets high stakes for her study in the ‘Introduction,’ contending that ‘representation in gothic television is necessarily a comment on representation, and on the absence of a ‘real’ ground to representation’ (6). She emphasizes Jerrold Hogle’s insight, drawn from Jean Baudrillard, ‘that the gothic registers anxiety about “a pervasively counterfeit existence: the fact of signifiers relating back to signifiers”’ (7). This heady insight is helpfully instantiated by a celebrated ‘meta’ episode of Supernatural (2005- ), ‘The French Mistake’ (6.15), which transports Sam and Dean Winchester to another reality wherein they are merely actors playing characters in a television show called Supernatural.
