  • Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle
    THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sarah Michelle Haughey August 2011 © 2011 Sarah Michelle Haughey THE ‘BESTLI’ OUTLAW: WILDERNESS AND EXILE IN OLD AND MIDDLE ENGLISH LITERATURE Sarah Michelle Haughey, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation, The ‘Bestli’ Outlaw: Wilderness and Exile in Old and Middle English Literature explores the reasons for the survival of the beast-like outlaw, a transgressive figure who highlights tensions in normative definitions of human and natural, which came to represent both the fears and the desires of a people in a state of constant negotiation with the land they inhabited. Although the outlaw’s shelter in the wilderness changed dramatically from the dense and menacing forests of Anglo-Saxon England to the bright, known, and mapped greenwood of the late outlaw romances and ballads, the outlaw remained strongly animalistic, other, and liminal, in strong contrast to premodern notions of what it meant to be human and civilized. I argue that outlaw narratives become particularly popular and poignant at moments of national political and ecological crisis—as they did during the Viking attacks of the Anglo-Saxon period, the epoch of intense natural change following the Norman Conquest, and the beginning of the market revolution at the end of the Middle Ages. Figures like the Anglo-Saxon resistance fighter Hereward, the exiled Marcher lord Fulk Fitz Waryn, and the brutal yet courtly Gamelyn and Robin Hood, represent a lost England imagined as pristine and forested.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION The wuxia film is the oldest genre in the Chinese cinema that has remained popular to the present day. Yet despite its longevity, its history has barely been told until fairly recently, as if there was some force denying that it ever existed. Indeed, the genre was as good as non-existent in China, its country of birth, for some fifty years, being proscribed over that time, while in Hong Kong, where it flowered, it was gen- erally derided by critics and largely neglected by film historians. In recent years, it has garnered a following not only among fans but serious scholars. David Bordwell, Zhang Zhen, David Desser and Leon Hunt have treated the wuxia film with the crit- ical respect that it deserves, addressing it in the contexts of larger studies of Hong Kong cinema (Bordwell), the Chinese cinema (Zhang), or the generic martial arts action film and the genre known as kung fu (Desser and Hunt).1 In China, Chen Mo and Jia Leilei have published specific histories, their books sharing the same title, ‘A History of the Chinese Wuxia Film’ , both issued in 2005.2 This book also offers a specific history of the wuxia film, the first in the English language to do so. It covers the evolution and expansion of the genre from its beginnings in the early Chinese cinema based in Shanghai to its transposition to the film industries in Hong Kong and Taiwan and its eventual shift back to the Mainland in its present phase of development. Subject and Terminology Before beginning this history, it is necessary first to settle the question ofterminology , in the process of which, the characteristics of the genre will also be outlined.

In lowrider culture, it is important for unfamiliar audiences to understand the concept of lowriders as vehicles and individuals who embody the cultural values. The limits of this thesis allow for exploration of the lowrider in its very specific ethnic context from which it originated, and the arguments I build within rely on a carefully grounded essentialist approach. I have attempted to offer a nuanced perspective based not only on research, but personal experience, which may not be shared or recognized by all lowriders.

  • Mobility in Early Modern Anglo-American Accounts of Piracy Alexandra Ganser1 University of Vienna
    Mobility in Early Modern Anglo-American Accounts of Piracy Alexandra Ganser1 University of Vienna 1. Introduction Through the ages and across discourses, pirates have been described as utterly mobile subjects: from political theory to historiography, from philosophy to literary writing. Starting shortly after the turn to the 18th century, texts began Othering the pirate, such as Puritan anti-piracy sermons – showing how this mobility also had effects on how piracy was conceived in economic terms. Both the geographic and socio-economic aspects of mobility are closely entwined in such writings, highlighting how piracy is entangled in the entrepreneurial colonial context of the early modern Atlantic. This chapter sets out to examine how these texts contributed to both a theoretical and a popular understanding of piracy as adventurous, outlaw inconstancy on the one hand and as illegitimate, violent monstrosity on the other. Further, I examine the economic underpinnings of this bipolar conception by drawing attention to their underlying conceptions of legitimate and illegitimate mobility. Like the pirate’s maritime environment, mobility has been a central category, both in a literal and metaphorical sense, through which the figure of the pirate is negotiated and his/her (il)legitimacy debated in narrative discourse. In the mobile world of the Atlantic, the figure of the pirate encompassed traits of all the major characters of that world: the trader, the adventurer, the pilgrim, the slave and the indentured laborer as well as the slave-holder and -trader. In historical discussions of piracy, major anxieties of an increasingly mobile society were voiced. Discourses about legitimate and illegitimate mobility hence appear as a defining aspect in pirate narratives, as piratical mobilities have been cast as both a threat to and as supportive of European colonial expansion and the imperialist project.

In an unusual collaborative effort, researchers worked with former gang members to make contact with and interview members of various "cliques" (cohorts) of the White Fence and El Hoyo Maravilla gangs (male gangs), as well as female gangs in the same neighborhoods. Interviews were conducted with 156 adult men and women; about 40 percent had joined the gangs in the 1940s and early 1950s, while the rest had been'active in recent years. Data are set in the context of economic and social chaages in the barrios between the 1950s and the 1970s-80s. Data reveal that in the later era, gangs had become more institutionalized, were more influential in members' lives, and had become more deviant.
