The University of Southern Mississippi BLACKLETTER: FICTION AND A WALL OF PRECEDENT by Louis Anthony Di Leo Abstract of a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of The University of Southern Mississippi in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2015 ABSTRACT BLACKLETTER: FICTION AND A WALL OF PRECEDENT by Louis Anthony Di Leo August 2014 The eight stories that make up Blackletter explore situations in which people are forced to challenge the legitimacy of authority, rethink and rebuild their own identities, or confront their own involvement in human and environmental degradation. A central theme running throughout the collection is law, broadly, and the ways in which people adhere to or sometimes break from a particular rule, be it social or legislative. In each case, the role of law and its correlation to place and identity—either overt or veiled— serves as a major component of each story.

  • Oakland and the Hill District

    Oakland and the Hill District

    1 Introduction My assignment was to fully survey Oakland and to begin exploring the Hill District. Initially seen as two neighborhoods, the evolution of this project quickly highlighted a much more complicated task. The report on Oakland moves between two poles. The first is the fascinating and dynamic ethnic communities that sustain a presence in Oakland. The second is the voracious appetite of nonprofit institutions to consume land, resources and public space. Within Oakland are a number of notable nonprofit institutions and hospitals including the University of Pittsburgh. To be clear, Carnegie-Mellon University is not part of this study although many individuals mentioned the academic ties between the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie-Mellon University. Carnegie-Mellon is however just over the border in Shadyside. For the Hill District, the assignment was to characterize the current population of the Hill District with a nod toward the cultural legacy of the past. Thus the Hill District report is broken up into two major sections, in order to reflect the circumstances of this area. The first part emphasizes the rich multiethnic history that characterized the Hill District until the middle of the twentieth-century. It should be emphasized that this cultural life is still recalled by many. Any future research should consider recovering the Jewish-, Syrian- and Italian-American presence in the Hill District. In the second part of the Hill District report, the African-American community is given extensive attention. This history is essential to understanding the current condition of the Hill District and hopefully highlights the dilemma of proceeding with a field survey of the area.

Hallock All Rights Reserved ii Abstract Studying literature is like walking through a labyrinth of interpretative possibilities. So, it is no mystery why an English major would be fascinated with detectives; they seem to show the way out of the literary labyrinth. Like detectives, literary critics look for clues in the texts they study and interpret them to find meaning. However, many critics argue that detectives make bad models, and that reading like a detective leads to interpretations that are at best boring and at worst dangerous.

We may read for information, affirmation, escape, or inspiration. We may read to get in a better mood. Various studies have shown that readers are more apt to be empathetic, to understand that their experience is not the only experience.
