    By CaraNo Disclaimer: I don’t own Twilight Chapter 1 – Good And Proper Darlin' Bella's POV. These last couple of weeks have been… taxing. Starting with packing my shit and hauling my sweet ass across the country in a beat up Chevy, to arrive here… in Texas, and then the whole mess of finding a job, a place to live… Yeah, taxing. I should explain, right? Well, don't worry, my story isn't long. I grew up in bumfucked Forks, Washington, with two drunken parents, and as soon as I could, I left. Packed up my shit and left. College isn't for me, and I couldn't give a rat's ass about my folks. Told ya my story ain't long. So, now I'm here. At the age of twenty. In Baytown, Texas. Cedar Cove to be exact. I wanted to come right after High School, but I needed to get cash so I could move, but better late than never, right? And why Baytown, Texas? 'Cause my cousin on dad's side lives here. Emmett McCarty is in fact the owner of the RV Park I'm now calling home, and I have my very own trailer, too. Yeah, cousin Em and his wife hooked me up with my own trailer, one of them silver bullet ones, and I have to say I love it. Have to say I love Texas, too. I missed it here. Not that I've been here many times before, but my dad's from Texas so we've visited a few times over the years.

Augustus Durham Department of English Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Tsitsi Jaji, Supervisor ___________________________ Maurice Wallace ___________________________ Nathaniel Mackey ___________________________ Priscilla Wald An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English in the Graduate School of Duke University 2018 i v Copyright by I. Augustus Durham 2018 Abstract This dissertation draws on Sigmund Freud’s essay “Mourning and Melancholia” (1917) to track melancholy and genius in black letters, culture, and history from the nineteenth century to the contemporary moment; it contends that melancholy is a catalyst for genius, and that genius is a signifier of the maternal. Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Freud prefigures an array of discourses in black studies; one mode of interrogation occurs with relation to his aforementioned essay. Some African American literature, such as Richard Wright’s Black Boy, invokes this work indirectly, just as theoretical texts, like Joseph Winters’s Hope Draped in Black: Race, Melancholy, and the Agony of Progress, have direct engagement. Nevertheless, Freud’s attendance to mourning and melancholia is pertinent.

  • I Hear a Symphony
    1 I Hear a Symphony BLACK MASCULINITY AND THE DISCO TURN You should see this whole Roxy Music thing. It’s so elegant and cool and -fashionable. —Nile Rodgers to Bernard Edwards, cofounders of -Chic isco snuck up on America like a covert operation. This wasn’t how it had been in the sixties, when shifts in popular music—the arrival of the mop-headed British Invasion bands, Bob Dylan’s galvanizing electric turn, the emergence of Dpsychedelic rock—were unmissable cultural events immediately accorded the status of milestones. The rock “ revolution” of the sixties, like the Vietnam War and the protests it provoked, was the object of intense media coverage. Newsweek, Life, Time, and all the rest pounced on the story with prairie-fire speed. In a blink, whole new publications, including that soon-to-be arbiter of countercultural taste, Rolling Stone, emerged to chronicle the music, personalities, and culture of rock. The major labels may have been bewildered by the scruffiness, long hair, and druggy vibe of groups such as Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Grateful Dead, but they barely paused before racing to sign them up, even when they were little known outside of San Francisco’s hippie enclave, Haight--Ashbury. Six years later, when another musical revolution was taking shape, record companies opened neither their arms nor their coffers, with the result that disco developed slowly and at first largely off the official map. By the time Vince Aletti wrote about what he called “party music” and “discotheque rock,” in a fall 1973 issue of Rolling Stone, gay men had been dancing in discos for three years.

It is June 3, 2010. Smiling, I make my way out of the church with my family: my younger but taller sister Lissa, my fair-haired, fair-skinned mother and my balding, mustachioed father. A small crowd of people follow. I am in a deep blue, shimmery dress with heels that I can barely walk in. I am weeks away from 21, and yet my 18 year old sister has more experience than I do when it comes to things like fashion and grace. Across the street and down the road is the Wayside Inn of Sudbury, Massachusetts where the reception will be held. My Uncle Steve has just gotten married to Sarah Menecez, a woman he has known since he was 8 and she was 4.
