May, Talitha 01-27-18 Writing the Apocalypse: Pedagogy at the End of the World A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Talitha May May 2018 © 2018 Talitha May. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Writing the Apocalypse: Pedagogy at the End of the World by TALITHA MAY has been approved for the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences by Sherrie L. Gradin Professor of English Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT MAY, TALITHA, Ph.D., May 2018, English Writing the Apocalypse: Pedagogy at the End of the World Director of Dissertation: Sherrie L. Gradin Beset with political, social, economic, cultural, and environmental degradation, along with the imminent threat of nuclear war, the world might be at its end. Building upon Richard Miller’s inquiry from Writing at the End of the World, this dissertation investigates if it is “possible to produce [and teach] writing that generates a greater connection to the world and its inhabitants.” I take up Paul Lynch’s notion of the apocalyptic turn and suggest that when writers Kurt Spellmeyer, Richard Miller, Derek Owens, Robert Yagelski, Lynn Worsham, and Ann Cvetkovich confront disaster, they reach an impasse whereby they begin to question disciplinary assumptions such as critique and pose inventive ways to think about writing and writing pedagogy that emphasize the notion and practice of connecting to the everyday. Questioning the familiar and cultivating what Jane Bennett terms “sensuous enchantment with everyday” are ethical responses to the apocalypse; nonetheless, I argue that disasters and death master narratives will continually resurface if we think that an apocalyptic mindset can fully account for the complexity and irreducibility of lived experience. Drawing upon Zen, new materialism, and Yagelski’s theory of writing as a way of being, I call attention to the affective dimensions of capitalism, anti-apocalyptic thinking, and environmental writing pedagogies that run contrary to capitalist-driven environmental disaster. 4 DEDICATION To Greyrock trail and forest floors. 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Dr. Sherrie Gradin always encouraged me to explore my ideas and experience the joy of creating new connections for myself. She fostered my curiosity and introduced me to the important work of Richard Miller, Rita Felski, and Ann Cvetkovich among others. Dr. Gradin helped with rhetorical aspects of writing that I never new existed. Furthermore, her comments on my draft were insightful and constructive. Ever encouraging and professional, Dr. Gradin modeled what it means to be an exemplar academic and teacher. I owe special thanks to my committee members Robert Miklitsch, Talinn Phillips, and Wolfgang Sützl for providing useful advice during my prospectus and dissertation defenses. Robert commented on my manuscript in depth and Talinn’s comments were insightful. Wolfgang was generous with his time and shared useful resources. Aside from my committee, many mentors, friends, and students helped me with my project. I want to thank Ohio University Professor Emeritus Ray McKerrow whose help always came at the right time like trail magic. Dr. Andrew S. Mathews’ permission to use his image of an ancient chestnut tree stump gave Chapter 5, “Disconnected: A Polemic” far more clarity than my words alone could. Designer L.S. Boldsmith illustrated how the magic of interdisciplinary collaboration opens new possibilities for writing instruction. I am also grateful to the students of my writing about sustainability classes for their insights and statement position papers that gave me a sense of what Miller calls “critical optimism.” 6 I am thankful for the advice, friendship, cheerfulness, and strong sense of community from my colleagues: Don Dudding, Amanda Hayes, Paul Christian Jones, Matthew Nunes, Lana Oweidat, Carrie Ann Verge, and Matthew Vetter. Don’s advice regarding dissertation writing helped me numerous times and I often thought of his story of the wizard and the monkey. The Ohio University English department provided generous funding over the years, which gave me the opportunity to meet Robert Yagelski at several conferences. His work has had a profound influence in my scholarship and pedagogy—it all started with a book review I wrote for Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy. I also had the opportunity to meet Kurt Spellmeyer and Richard Miller whose scholarship has likewise influenced my dissertation. Furthermore, I am grateful for Ken Matwiczak, Angela Evans, and Donna LeCourt for their mentorship in my early academic career. Finally, I would like to thank Cactus May for his unyielding support and encouragement to help me pursue my life-long goals and studies. Our conversations, walks, bike rides, and lost city explorations made all the difference. Last, but not least, Coco deserves gratitude for curling up next to me. 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract ............................................................................................................................... 3 Dedication ........................................................................................................................... 4 Acknowledgments ............................................................................................................... 5 List of Figures ..................................................................................................................... 9 Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 10 Chapter 1: The Only Rational Response ........................................................................... 22 Welcome to Hell: How Capitalism Feels ..................................................................... 26 Zen ................................................................................................................................ 29 Being-With: A Singularly Plural Existence .................................................................. 33 Writing and Apocalypse Entanglement ........................................................................ 40 Chapter 2: Writing (with) the Apocalypse ........................................................................ 43 Under Some Evil Spell: From Global to Everyday Terror ........................................... 46 Normalized Terror ........................................................................................................ 48 Everyday Trauma .......................................................................................................... 51 From Apocalypse to Revaluation: An Impasse ............................................................ 55 Isolation From Everyday .............................................................................................. 59 Cartesian Thinking and Ontology ................................................................................. 62 Dis-Astrum: Losing One’s Star ..................................................................................... 65 Counterargument .......................................................................................................... 69 Revolutionary Change .................................................................................................. 72 Chapter 3: Writing the Everyday ...................................................................................... 76 Affective Dimensions of Capitalism ............................................................................. 76 Training in the World’s End ......................................................................................... 81 Textual Production ........................................................................................................ 85 Writing as Expression of Self Being ............................................................................. 88 Arts of Living ................................................................................................................ 90 Experiential Writing ..................................................................................................... 92 The Sensate Being: Sensational Stories ........................................................................ 97 8 Chapter 4: Teaching the World’s End ............................................................................ 106 Confronting the Apocalypse ....................................................................................... 111 Sustainability Readers and Buoys ............................................................................... 114 Reading Green ............................................................................................................ 116 Good Taste .................................................................................................................. 120 Dragonflies, Mosquitoes, Potatoes ............................................................................. 122 On Critique and Pedagogical Violence ....................................................................... 128 The Trap of Narrative Fetishism ................................................................................. 132 Panoramic View of Pedagogical Hybridity ................................................................ 136 Chapter 5: Disconnected: A Polemic .............................................................................

    SHOTGUN JIMMIE – TRANSISTOR SISTER 2 LABEL: YOU’VE CHANGED RECORDS CATALOG: YC-039 FORMAT: LP/CD RELEASE DATE: AUGUST 2, 2019 Are you ready for the new sincerity?! Shotgun Jimmie’s new album Transistor Sister 2 is full of genuine pop gems that champion truth and love. Jimmie is joined by long- time collaborators Ryan Peters (Ladyhawk) and Jason Baird (DoMakeSayThink) for this sequel to the Polaris Prize nominated album Transistor Sister from 2011. José Contreras (By Divine Right) produced and recorded the record in Toronto, Ontario at The Chat Chateaux and joins the band on keys. In characteristic Shotgun Jimmie fashion, the songs on Transistor Sister 2 focus largely on family and friends with a heavy dose of nostalgia. Jimmie’s hyperbolic takes on the everyday reconstruct familiar scenarios, from traffic on the 401 (the beloved and scorned mega- highway through Toronto known to all touring musicians Blues Riffs as the place where punctual arrival at soundcheck goes Tumbleweed to die) to cooking dinner. Hot Pots Ablutions The album’s lead single Cool All the Time is a plea for Fountain people to abandon ego and strive for authenticity, Suddenly Submarine featuring contributions by Chad VanGaalen, Steven Piano (with band) Lambke and Cole Woods. The New Sincerity serves as The New Sincerity the album’s manifesto; it renounces cynicism and Cool All The Time promotes positivity.

Matthew Brown, University of Massachusetts-Boston To the surprise of many, John Banville's The Sea won the 2005 Booker prize for fiction, surprising because of all of Banville's dazzlingly sophisticated novels, The Sea seems something of an afterthought, a remainder of other and better books. Everything about The Sea rings familiar to readers of Banville's oeuvre, especially its narrator, who is enthusiastically learned and sardonic and who casts weighty meditations on knowledge, identity, and art through the murk of personal tragedy. This is Max Morden, who sounds very much like Alexander Cleave from Eclipse (2000), or Victor Maskell from The Untouchable (1997).

  • The Quest for God in the Novels of John Banville 1973-2005: a Postmodern Spiritualily
    THE QUEST FOR GOD IN THE NOVELS OF JOHN BANVILLE 1973-2005: A POSTMODERN SPIRITUALITY Brendan McNamee Lewiston, Queenson, Lampeter: The Edwin Mellen Press. 2006 (by Violeta Delgado Crespo. Universidad de Zaragoza) [email protected] 121 As McNamee puts it in his study, it seems that “the ultimate aim of Banville’s fiction is to elude interpretation” (6). It is perhaps this elusiveness that ensures a growing number of critical contributions on the work of a writer who has explicated his aesthetic, his view of art in general, and literature in particular, in talks, interviews and varied writings. McNamee’s is the seventh monographic study of John Banville’s work published to date, and claims to differ from the previous six by widening the cultural context in which the work of the Irish writer has been read. Although, to my knowledge, John Banville has never defined himself in these terms, McNamee portrays him as an essentially religious writer (13) when he foregrounds the deep spiritual yearning that Banville’s fiction exhibits in combination with the many postmodern elements (paradox and parody, self- reflexivity, intertextuality) that are familiar in his novels. To McNamee, Banville’s enigmatic fictions allow for a link between the disparate phenomena of pre-modern mysticism and postmodernism, suggesting that many aspects of the postmodern sensibility veer toward the spiritual. He considers the language of Banville’s fiction intrinsically mystical, an artistic form of what is known as apophatic language, which he defines as “the mode of writing with which mystics attempt to say the unsayable” (170). In terms of style, Banville’s writing approaches the ineffable: that which cannot be paraphrased or described.

  • Dead Channel Surfing: the Commonalities Between Cyberpunk
    Popular Music (2005) Volume 24/2. Copyright © 2005 Cambridge University Press, pp. 165–178 doi:10.1017/S0261143005000401 Printed in the United Kingdom Dead Channel Surfing: the commonalities between cyberpunk literature and industrial music KAREN COLLINS Abstract This paper explores the similarities between industrial music and ‘cyberpunk’ science fiction literature. Besides the obvious instances where there are direct references to each other, there are further connections between music and literature that are explored here. Situating the two forms within the tradition of twentieth-century Western dystopias, the focus of the paper is on the similarity of themes (relationship to technology, control by a totalitarian elite, apocalyptic worlds, resistance groups), techniques (in language or structure), moods (the tones and attitudes), and imagery (through language or music) used to illustrate and enhance these themes. Introduction Having previously enjoyed only marginal popularity and been relegated to a cult status within the realm of computer geeks and social misfits, the success of The Matrix (Wachowski brothers, 1999) propelled cyberpunk into the spotlight and into the mainstream. Cyberpunk finally became a hot Hollywood subject, as film-makers rushed to release the sequels, and similar movies like Equilibrium (K. Wimmer, 2002), or Returner (T. Yamazaki, 2002), spawning a new generation of trench coat-and-sunglass-wearing martial arts fanatics. The term ‘cyberpunk’ is generally credited to Bruce Bethke’s 1983 story of the same name, but it became recognised through its use a year later by journalist Gardner Dozois to characterise the predominantly dystopian (anti-utopian) science fiction sub-genre incorporating writers such as William Gibson, Bruce Sterling and John Shirley.

As such, what follows represents an intensely personal, creative journey for me, one that would not have been possible without the love and support of some very important people in my life. First and foremost, I would like to thank my wonderful wife, Kelly, for all of her love, patience, and unflinching confidence in me throughout this entire process. It brings me such pride—not to mention great relief—to be able to show her this work in its completion. I would also like to thank my parents, Stephen and Cathyann Berry, for their wisdom, generosity, and support of my every endeavor. I am very grateful to Jefferson Holdridge, Omaar Hena, Mary Burgess-Smyth, and Kevin Whelan for their encouragement, mentorship, and friendship across many years of study. And to all of my Wake Forest friends and colleagues—you know who you are—thank you for your companionship on this journey. Finally, to Maeve, Nora, and Sheilagh: Daddy finally finished his book.
