Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.

    CULTURE, TRAUMA, AND WELL-BEING: SOCIAL SUFFERING IN RURAL GUATEMALA By BRIAN PATRICK TYLER A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2017 © 2017 Brian Patrick Tyler To the kind and generous people of San Jose El Tesoro and to Kitty & Joe Tyler ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Preparing this dissertation research project – from the development of my research topic, to the preparation of grant proposals, the ethnographic fieldwork, and the years I took to finish the writing of this dissertation – was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Many people helped me get to the finish line, and far more helped me to find the joy in life. I must acknowledge the important insights and constructive critiques of faculty members at the University of Florida who helped me along the way, including Drs. Alba Burns, Peter Collings, Shawn Kneipp, and Alyson Young. My dissertation committee – Drs. Sharon Abramowitz, Chris McCarty, and Suzanna Smith – helped me to reconsider many of my intellectual positions, and have given me the most important critiques, and the encouragement, that will drive my thinking as I continue writing and researching the topics covered in this dissertation. Most important to me, personally and professionally, has been the encouragement and support of my mentor and dissertation chair – Dr. Clarence Gravlee – who brought me to Florida and who has been the most influential person in my academic training. I owe any success, now and in my future career, to him and I am eternally grateful for his belief in me.

Both Akata Witch (2011), by Nnedi Okorafor, and Trail of Lightning (2018), by Rebecca Roanhorse suggest that in a world reeling from the impact of the Anthropocene, humanity must learn to see itself as a node in a network, rather than as the apex of a pyramid in which everything below it becomes merely a consumable resource. ‘Human’ in these novels, is no longer a category that automatically denotes superiority. Many scholarly considerations of the post- or trans-human in YA fiction concentrate on how technology has altered human society; the novels I discuss here, however, are more concerned with relationships between the human body and the natural world – or whatever is left of the natural world in the aftermath of the destruction caused by climate change. The heroines of these novels move between the human and the spirit worlds – abilities that cause each of them to be seen as a monster or a freak – and this fluidity becomes an example, I Deborah Williams is Clinical Associate Professor in the Literature and Creative Writing Program at NYU Abu Dhabi.
