Scapegoats and Redemption on Shutter Island Abstract The themes of redemptive violence, scapegoating, and ritual in the films of Martin Scorsese have provided much grist for critical scholarship. While it is going too far to claim that Scorsese is intentionally interpreting Girardian themes (which are themselves borrowed from a rich mythological tradition), the comparisons between the theorist and the director are compelling. My goal here is to establish the primary themes of scapegoating, mimesis, the cycle of violence, and feuding identities that occur in both Girard’s works and Scorsese’s films and pull them forward into a more recent work of Scorsese, Shutter Island. Keywords Violence, Scapegoating, Ritual, Girard Author Notes Cari Myers received a BA in English Literature from Pepperdine University, an MA in Youth and Family Ministry from Abilene Christian University, and an MTS from Brite Divinity at Texas Christian University.

  • King County Library System Director’S Report April 2013
    King County Library System Director’s Report April 2013 GOVERNMENT RELATIONS As the process continues, progress is being made on the Renton Library project. KCLS held a public meeting on March 26 to present the design for the new library over the Cedar River. Even though some of the 150 attendees objected to breakout stations, staff gathered good input from those who participated as well as from the audience comment period at the end of the meeting. Miller-Hull architects identified some of the main concerns raised by the public and addressed them in a follow-up presentation to the Renton City Council on April 15. Council members responded well to the design changes and the City has indicated it will consider increasing the budget to build a larger library that is closer to the size of the existing building. It is anticipated that the City Council will make a decision on the schematic design and project budget at its meeting on Monday, April 29. At the April 15 Renton City Council meeting, KCLS requested that if the City considers increasing the budget for the downtown library that it not be increased at the expense of the Renton Highlands Library. Council members agreed and asked staff to bring back plans for increasing the budget without impinging on the Highlands project. The City of Renton and its housing developer have made enough progress on the project that library design and planning is finally able to move forward. KCLS is scheduled to present schematic design and budget estimates to the Renton City Council on May 14.

  • Title: Shutter Island Author: Dennis Lehane Description: Summer, 1954
    Title: Shutter Island Author: Dennis Lehane Description: Summer, 1954. U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels has come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Along with his partner, Chuck Aule, he sets out to find an escaped patient, a murderess named Rachel Solando, as a hurricane bears down upon them. But nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is what it seems. And neither is Teddy Daniels. Is he there to find a missing patient Or has he been sent to look into rumors of Ashecliffes radical approach to psychiatry An approach that may include drug experimentation, hideous surgical trials, and lethal countermoves in the shadow war against Soviet brainwashing ... Or is there another, more personal reason why he has come there As the investigation deepens, the questions only mount: How has a barefoot woman escaped the island from a locked room Who is leaving clues in the form of cryptic codes Why is there no record of a patient committed there just one year before What really goes on in Ward C Why is an empty lighthouse surrounded by an electrified fence and armed guards The closer Teddy and Chuck get to the truth, the more elusive it becomes, and the more they begin to believe that they may never leave Shutter Island. Because someone is trying to drive them insane ... Reviews The New York Times: [A]n eerie, startlingly original story ... [Lehane writes] with a crisp clarity that makes the layout of Shutter Island instantly cinematic ... [A] deft, suspenseful thriller that unfolds with increasing urgency until it delivers a visceral shock in its final moments.
