The possibilities shot up out of the ground from before me like Milton's Pandemonium from the soil of hell. Of course, this assignment ultimately turned out to be much less intimidating and filled with demons than that, but at the time, it felt as though it would be. When you're an English major like I am, your choices are simultaneously extremely numerous and severely restricted, mostly by my inability to write convincingly or sufficiently about most topics. However, after much deliberation and agonizing, I realized that something I am good at is writing about film.

Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory
DANGEROUSLY FREE: OUTLAWS AND NATION-MAKING IN LITERATURE OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY by Jenna Hunnef A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Jenna Hunnef 2016 Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory Jenna Hunnef Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2016 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine how literary representations of outlaws and outlawry have contributed to the shaping of national identity in the United States. I analyze a series of texts set in the former Indian Territory (now part of the state of Oklahoma) for traces of what I call “outlaw rhetorics,” that is, the political expression in literature of marginalized realities and competing visions of nationhood. Outlaw rhetorics elicit new ways to think the nation differently—to imagine the nation otherwise; as such, I demonstrate that outlaw narratives are as capable of challenging the nation’s claims to territorial or imaginative title as they are of asserting them. Borrowing from Abenaki scholar Lisa Brooks’s definition of “nation” as “the multifaceted, lived experience of families who gather in particular places,” this dissertation draws an analogous relationship between outlaws and domestic spaces wherein they are both considered simultaneously exempt from and constitutive of civic life. In the same way that the outlaw’s alternately celebrated and marginal status endows him or her with the power to support and eschew the stories a nation tells about itself, so the liminality and centrality of domestic life have proven effective as a means of consolidating and dissenting from the status quo of the nation-state.

Allen Rostron, the Law and Order Theme in Political and Popular Culture
OCULREV Fall 2012 Rostron 323-395 (Do Not Delete) 12/17/2012 10:59 AM OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW VOLUME 37 FALL 2012 NUMBER 3 ARTICLES THE LAW AND ORDER THEME IN POLITICAL AND POPULAR CULTURE Allen Rostron I. INTRODUCTION “Law and order” became a potent theme in American politics in the 1960s. With that simple phrase, politicians evoked a litany of troubles plaguing the country, from street crime to racial unrest, urban riots, and unruly student protests. Calling for law and order became a shorthand way of expressing contempt for everything that was wrong with the modern permissive society and calling for a return to the discipline and values of the past. The law and order rallying cry also signified intense opposition to the Supreme Court’s expansion of the constitutional rights of accused criminals. In the eyes of law and order conservatives, judges needed to stop coddling criminals and letting them go free on legal technicalities. In 1968, Richard Nixon made himself the law and order candidate and won the White House, and his administration continued to trumpet the law and order theme and blame weak-kneed liberals, The William R.

True "Grit" and "True Grit"
True "Grit" and "True Grit" JOHN DITSKY HE relatively recent success of the film version of Charles Portis's True Grit — with John Wayne play- ing its hero, Rooster Cogburn — has restored to familiar usage the term "grit." Wayne's performance, in which self-parody is indistinguishable from the serious portrayal of frontier manliness, challenges certain premises Americans hold about themselves. For the search for the meaning and the presence of true "grit" in the world of the American West ultimately leads to a re-examination of the roles which men and women were in effect asked to play by the conflicting norms of their society and their environment — were asked to play, that is, and also are asked to play, though the conditions of contemporary life differ markedly (at least in theory) from those of the legendary Wild West. In The Return of the Vanishing American (1968), Leslie Fiedler discusses the several myths born of frontier ex• perience which inform a substantial body of current Am• erican literature. Not a few of these story-patterns repre• sent reactions to the frontier environment that are them• selves part of a fictional American "character," particularly when the effects of frontier life on the American woman are considered. Fiedler identifies a Hannah Duston "Basic Myth" — that of the self-sufficient frontierswoman who survives by assuming the male role, often surpassing male skills in the part: But women insist that their essential fable be not ob• scured by . irrelevant male concerns, that the story remain true to their central vision of their lot and be projected in terms of their own sort of heroine: a strong TRUE "GRIT" AND "TRUE GRIT" 19 but immensely ordinary woman — preferably a mother — who is confronted by a male antagonist and, finding no male champion, must deliver herself.

How do we resist injustice? Who is included in our We? These questions will be central to this course’s inquiry into the parameters and challenges of living a just life.

Drawing upon both classic and contemporary literature, films, and non-fiction, as well as readings in philosophy, religion, political theory, and history, this course will consider not only what it means to be just ourselves, but also how to work with others in an effort to bend the arc of history towards justice.

Carey 1 Lauren Carey First Reader: Professor Liv Cummins Second Reader: Professor Ronald Lamothe Senior Thesis in Literary Criticism 1 December 2014 “Breaking Boundaries” and Exploring Identity in Three Coen Brother Films Audiences were first introduced to sibling filmmaking duo Joel and Ethan Coen in 1984 with their debut film Blood Simple. Since then the brothers have experienced considerable commercial and critical success with their 16 films, garnering six Academy Awards wins and more than 30 nominations. Attempts at naming a definitive style or genre or subject matter is a difficult undertaking when it comes to the Coen canon, and yet it seems to be this consistent unpredictability that continues to attract critics and audiences alike. Whatever the styles or genres they are working within or the subject matter of their story, though, the brothers’ interest in telling stories in America, about Americans is always clear.

Remembering Charles Portis, with David Kern
(ACOUSTIC GUITAR THEME MUSIC) JONATHAN ROGERS, HOST: Welcome to The Habit Podcast: Conversations with Writers about Writing. I’m Jonathan Rogers, your host. (THEME MUSIC CONTINUES) JR: At the end of every episode of this podcast, I ask my guests, “Which writers make you want to write?” Charles Portis is a name that has come up several times. His novels, especially True Grit and The Dog of the South, certainly make me want to write. Roy Blount once said, “Charles Portis could be Cormac McCarthy if he wanted to, but he’d rather be funny.” I don’t suppose there could be a better summation of what I love about Charles Portis. Mr. Portis died on February 17, 2020, two weeks before the release date of this episode. My friend David Kern loves Charles Portis as much as I do, so I called him to reminisce. David Kern runs the Circe Institute’s podcast network, and hosts the Close Reads podcast, the Daily Poem podcast, and Libromania, a podcast for the book-obsessed. I commend those podcasts to you. A slightly edited version of this conversation is being posted as an episode over at Libromania. (THEME MUSIC FADES OUT) JR: David Kern, I’m so glad we’re having some time to talk about Charles Portis. DAVID KERN: Yeah, likewise. I can’t imagine that there are many writers who would be more fun to just, you know… just talk about and celebrate and spend some time with. JR: Yeah, I know. I have to admit, I didn’t realize Charles Portis was still alive until a couple months before he died.
