GCD n Abstract Belinda's Rings explores complex family relationships, meanings of motherhood, and notions of hybrid identities among the members of a diverse Canadian family. The novel follows two alternating parallel narratives: one from the point of view of a sixteen-year- old girl named Grace, and the other from the perspective of her mother, Belinda. Set in the mid-1990s,. Belinda s Rings reflects primarily on a one-week period in which Belinda embarks on a solo trip to visit the crop circles of Wiltshire, England. Meanwhile, Grace and her sister must assume motherly roles for Squid, their much younger brother, while their stepfather, who suffers from undiagnosed bipolar disorder, neglects his responsibilities. Grace and her sister, who are half-Chinese, grapple throughout the narrative to come to terms with their 'hybrid' ethnic identities while faced simultaneously with the struggles of adolescence. Concurrently, Belinda struggles to reconcile her role as a responsible mother with her growing need to discover her individuality. m Acknowledgments I am indebted to John Ball for his sincere dedication, scrupulous suggestions, and unfailing encouragement. John, I cannot thank you enough for your efforts to coax ideas out of me and keep me motivated to push forward. I am grateful to Mark Anthony Jarman for his keen editor's eye, and for providing invaluable comments for future drafts of this novel. Thanks to Fred Stenson for his suggestions on early chapters, and Eden Robinson for marathon-reading my first draft. Thanks also to Ross Leckie, Jennifer Andrews, Randall Martin, Edie Snook, Diana Austin, Wendy Robbins, Theresa Keenan, and Janet Noiles of the English department as well as my fellow graduate students for their warmth and support during my time at UNB. Thank-you to my examiners, Jennifer Andrews and Heather Sears, for investing so much time and attention in evaluating my work. I greatly appreciate the support provided by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. To my partner, Andrew: I could not have done this without you. And finally, to my family, in all your various incarnations: thank you for being the place where I belong. iv Table of Contents Dedication ii Abstract iii Acknowledgments iv Table of Contents v Epigraph vii 1.

Fudge and Mirrors Squid's got three mothers who can't spank him. That's what my step-dad Wiley used to say when Squid got into the goo. It sounds like an expression, but it wasn't at first — he literally did, when he was a baby. You had anything gooey and Squid'd find it. Peanut butter, craft glue, ketchup, little bits of melted tar on the street - smeared all over his cheeks faster than you could say 'fudge.' That was code in our family for 'Squid is covered in something gooey,' except you had to yell it out, FUUUUUDGE, like a swear word. Mum doesn't know that people say 'fudge' to mean another f-word, so sometimes I'd yell it right in her face to make Jess laugh. Jess never did it herself, squeezed her eyes shut like she was jumping off a building whenever she yelled fudge. She didn't yell nearly half as loud as me, either. The problem with spanking was that it didn't work. Mum only tried it once, in the supermarket. I was there and remember it perfectly. She'd let him out of the shopping cart to toddle around. He was just little. Only a couple months before he'd still had that mini-drunk-person sort of walk that made me want to follow right behind him, holding out my arms, thinking he could topple over any second. By this time he'd gotten to the stage where we had to actually run after him 'cause he'd take off when you weren't looking. But we were in the cereal aisle and we didn't think he could do any damage, so we let him scamper around. He liked to punch the cereal boxes, the ones on the bottom shelves that no one wanted anyway. So he was punching, punching away, and every box he could reach was getting a punch, Squid made sure of that. Mum was 2 looking at the generic brand of Frosted Flakes, the one that came in a big milky-coloured bag with no box, so most of the flakes were crumbled into powder. That's sick, I told her. Can we please just get the Kellogg's? It's all the same, Mum said. You're just paying for the name. It looks disgusting, I said, holding the bag up to the fluorescent lights. I will not eat that. It's like sawdust. That was back when I was in grade six, and my friend Marnie would come over after school to watch TV. She was obsessed with Frosted Flakes, the Kellogg's kind. We always had a bowl each. I couldn't give her the generic brand. She'd notice. But while I was arguing with Mum, neither of us noticed that Squid had stopped punching. He was standing in front of us with a giant grin across his face. You could see all his pointy little baby teeth. He'd stuck a fist into his diaper and got it all covered in - goo. Shit. This mustardy-brown, pasty kind of shit. The Squid special. And now he was waving the gooey hand above his head, his feet hammering the linoleum. Mum and I stood there for a second, staring at him, and then we both lunged at the diaper bag sitting in the shopping cart. Fudgefudgefudge, I said, Mum and me both pulling at the Velcro flaps and our hands just getting in each other's way. That gave Squid enough time to walk up to a lady who was bending down for a box of Grape Nuts. He swung his mucky hand like a club — SPLAT — right on her back. Squid's four fingers on her black suede coat, slashed in yellow. 3 The lady dropped the Grape Nuts, cranked her head around to look. She couldn't see the damage, but her eye caught Squid's pasty hand waving as he ran down the aisle squealing. Mum chased after him with tissues, her handbag slapping her ribs. The lady stood up slowly. I thought she might puke, but she just stood there, her tongue jutting between her teeth. She was watching Mum chase Squid.

  • This Thesis Is an Exercise in Telling Stories
    “It Didn’t Exactly Make Me Feel Grand”: Students with Physical Disabilities’ Experiences of Secondary School Physical Education Kate Holland A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand June 2014 ABSTRACT Physical Education has long been recognised as the domain of the physically ‘able’ (Barton 1993, 2009). As a result, many students with physical disabilities who do not display the socially constructed abilities, movements or body types privileged in Physical Education remain sidelined or absent from the subject (Barton, 1993, 2009; Evans, 2004; Fitzgerald, 2005). In this thesis I explore the Physical Education experiences of those perceived as physically ‘disabled’. The display, surveillance and use of one’s body is foregrounded in Physical Education more than in any other school subject (Fitzgerald & Stride, 2012), yet the experiences of students with different bodies have rarely been explored. Drawing on theoretical resources found in the disciplines of Childhood Studies, Disability Studies, the Sociology of the Body, Physical Education and Teaching and Learning, I examine six students with physical disabilities’ experiences of secondary school Physical Education in New Zealand. I examine what kinds of movements, bodies and abilities are privileged in the students’ experiences` of Physical Education and ask questions about why and how this is the case. Further I investigate what school-based Physical Education does to, and for, young people with physical disabilities, drawing on the young people’s testimonies to understand how the subject and its imperatives shape their subjectivities. While environmental, social, cultural, pedagogical and political interests clearly constrain the young people’s capacity to engage with Physical Education, their narratives point to the ways young people can, and do, exercise agency, challenge orthodoxies and resist the normative expectations of Physical Education as it is currently configured in some New Zealand schools.
