OR MAYBE, NEITHER?: RESISTING COMMON TROPES OF THE VETERAN AND DEVELOPING DIGITAL LITERACY PRACTICES VIA NARRATIVE BUILDING AND IDENTITY PRESENTATION IN SOCIAL NETWORKING SPACES by CASSANDRA ANN BRANHAM B.A. University of South Florida, 2010 M.A. University of South Florida, 2012 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Arts and Humanities at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Summer Term 2016 Major Professor: Stephanie Vie ©2016 Cassandra Branham ii ABSTRACT This project reports on the results of a study that investigated the social networking use of student and non-student veterans, with a particular focus on the narrative building and identity presentation practices involved in this use. In this dissertation, I argue that stereotypical and exclusionary tropes of the veteran, such as the veteran as war hero and the veteran as wounded warrior, are damaging to our veterans and to others, in both the society and the classroom. However, through the detailed analysis of survey data and data collected from an interview and social networking profile tour with one student veteran participant, I highlight the exclusionary nature of these tropes and argue that the complex digital narratives crafted in social networking spaces can offer resistance to popular tropes of the veteran. The complexity of my participants’ digital narratives also offers support for the argument that elements of one’s social networking profiles, when viewed independently and decontextualized, can lead to invalid and unfair assumptions about the users’ identity. Additionally, I argue that, for my participants, many of whom demonstrated a nuanced and critical understanding of audience, decisions to self-identify as military personnel in social networking spaces are intertwined with perceptions of privacy. Finally, this project culminates in the identification of a number of digital literacy practices present in my participants’ social networking use, as well as a set of pedagogical and programmatic recommendations for writing teachers and writing program administrators interested in aiding student veterans in the process of transition and reintegration. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Throughout the research and writing process of this project, I have been lucky enough to have been supported and guided by a group of brilliant, strong, and caring women, both inside of academia and out. I would like to thank these women, as well as a few men, here. Above all, thank you to my dissertation chair, Dr. Stephanie Vie, and the members of my dissertation committee, Dr. Mariana Grohowski, Dr. Angela Rounsaville, and Dr. Anastasia Salter. Each of you have inspired me as a scholar and provided excellent examples of female success in the academy. Dr. Vie, thank you for showing an interest in my work when I was your student. Thank you for guiding me through this project from the ground up, and most importantly, thank you for giving me the confidence I needed to complete this project. Dr. Grohowski, thank you for introducing yourself to me at CCCC 2015 in Tampa, FL. I am so privileged not only to have been introduced to your brilliant mind and vast knowledge of the field of veterans studies, but also to know that you see value in my work. Dr. Rounsaville, thank you for supporting my research since my first semester in my doctoral program. Thank you for helping me to develop my confidence as a research, as well as my voice. And Dr. Salter, thank you for joining my committee a bit later in the process and for being so willing to provide your feedback and expertise. Without you four extraordinary women, my dissertation project would surely not be the project that it is today. I certainly couldn’t have completed this project without my research participants, so thank you. A special thank you here goes to Jethro, who has gone above and beyond the commitments of a research participant. Without Jethro’s feedback and willingness to clarify and elucidate topics for me well after the initial stages of data collection, my analysis would have surely suffered. iv I also owe my thanks to some of my amazing colleagues, both at UCF and USF. Danielle Farrar, Megan McIntyre, and Clayton Benjamin, thank you for not only being my friends, but also for letting me talk through various stages of this project with each of you. Your academic and emotional support has helped me immensely. Robert Alexander, thanks for being the world’s best office mate, covering for me at events and meetings, and answering my endless questions about word choice and syntax. Noah Pearlstone, Wendy Dupree, Sandra Carpenter, and Ernest Buck, thank you for your valuable services as writing consultants—each of you enabled me to make important connections that I would not have seen without your help. Finally, I am filled with gratitude to my friends and family, all of whom have helped me to navigate this process in some way, though some have been instrumental to my success. Lori Feller, thank you for always being there for me no matter what, and thank you for helping me to take things as they come! You’ve been there for pretty much every life-changing event I’ve experienced in the last few years, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Most importantly, thank you so much for your support toward the end of this process. I really couldn’t have done all of this without you. And last but certainly not least, a huge thank you to my mom, who instilled in me a love for language, literature, and education at an early age. I love you, and I am continually inspired by you. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................................... xi LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................................... xvi CHAPTER 1: DIGITAL LITERACIES, SOCIAL NETWORKING TECHNOLOGIES, AND TROPES OF THE VETERAN ....................................................................................................... 1 Introduction ................................................................................................................................. 1 Tropes of the Veteran.................................................................................................................. 7 Veteran as Hero Trope .......................................................................................................... 10 Trope of the Wounded Warrior ............................................................................................. 12 Student Veterans in the College Writing Classroom ................................................................ 15 Defining Digital Literacy .......................................................................................................... 22 Digital Literacies and Social Networking Technologies .......................................................... 26 Social Networking Technologies, Identity, and Narrative........................................................ 29 U.S. Military and Social Networking Technologies ................................................................. 32 Organizational Use................................................................................................................ 32 Personal Use.......................................................................................................................... 36 Conclusion ................................................................................................................................ 40 CHAPTER 2: METHODS AND METHODOLOGIES ............................................................... 44 Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 44 Methodological Framework ...................................................................................................... 45 vi Qualitative Methods .............................................................................................................. 45 Critical Research Methods .................................................................................................... 52 Ethical Concerns in Digital Writing Research .........................................................................

  • First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006
    First-Run Smoking Presentations in U.S. Movies 1999-2006 Jonathan R. Polansky Stanton Glantz, PhD CENTER FOR TOBAccO CONTROL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94143 April 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Smoking among American adults fell by half between 1950 and 2002, yet smoking on U.S. movie screens reached historic heights in 2002, topping levels observed a half century earlier.1 Tobacco’s comeback in movies has serious public health implications, because smoking on screen stimulates adolescents to start smoking,2,3 accounting for an estimated 52% of adolescent smoking initiation. Equally important, researchers have observed a dose-response relationship between teens’ exposure to on-screen smoking and smoking initiation: the greater teens’ exposure to smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking. Conversely, if their exposure to smoking in movies were reduced, proportionately fewer teens would likely start smoking. To track smoking trends at the movies, previous analyses have studied the U.S. motion picture industry’s top-grossing films with the heaviest advertising support, deepest audience penetration, and highest box office earnings.4,5 This report is unique in examining the U.S. movie industry’s total output, and also in identifying smoking movies, tobacco incidents, and tobacco impressions with the companies that produced and/or distributed the films — and with their parent corporations, which claim responsibility for tobacco content choices. Examining Hollywood’s product line-up, before and after the public voted at the box office, sheds light on individual studios’ content decisions and industry-wide production patterns amenable to policy reform.

  • The Butt of the Joke? Laughter and Potency in the Becoming of Good Soldiers
    The Butt of the Joke? The Butt of the Joke? Laughter and Potency in the Becoming of Good Soldiers Beate Sløk-Andersen Copenhagen Business School Denmark Abstract In the Danish military, laughter plays a key role in the process of becoming a good soldier. Along with the strictness of hierarchy and discipline, a perhaps surprisingly widespread use of humor is essential in the social interaction, as the author observed during a participatory fieldwork among conscripted soldiers in the army. Unfolding the wider context and affective flows in this use of humor, however, the article suggests that the humorous tune (Ahmed 2014a) that is established among the soldiers concurrently has severe consequences as it not only polices soldiers’ sexuality and ‘wrong’ ways for men to be close, but also entangles in the ‘making’ of good, potent soldiers. Humor is therefore argued to be a very serious matter that can cast soldiers as either insiders or outsiders to the military profession. Keywords: military, humor, attunement, affects, military service, potency, sexuality uring a four-month-long participatory fieldwork amongst soldiers serving in the Danish army, I experienced how laughter permeated everyday life and caused momentary breaks from the seriousness that came with being Dembedded in a quite hierarchal structure. Even the sergeants who were supposed to discipline the young soldiers were keen on lightening the atmosphere by telling jokes or encouraging others to do so. Humor appeared to make military service more fun: it lightened the mood and supported social bonds among soldiers which also made the tough times more bearable. However, I also observed how humor took part in ‘making’ of military professionals; how seemingly innocent comments or actions that were “just a joke” took part in establishing otherwise unspoken limitations and norms for how to be a good soldier.

  • Newfolk NDF: Military Speech
    Newfolk NDF: Military Speech New Directions in Folklore 7 2003 Newfolk :: NDF :: Archive :: Issue 7 Military Speech Carol Burke When freshmen, or "plebes," at the U.S. Naval Academy finish their summer basic training, they trade in their "dixie cups" (sailor hats) for "covers" (officer hats) and begin the toughest year in their careers, a year in which "flamers" "ream them out" in front of their peers for minor infractions. Those who receive the harshest abuse are the "shit screens"; those who ingratiate themselves with upperclassmen, the "smacks." In World War II, a pilot would rev up his "coffee grinder" (plane engine) and, with permission of the "madhouse (control tower), take off toward his target, where he would either "hang out the laundry" (drop parachutists), lay a few "eggs" (bombs), or make a "split S" (combat maneuver) and then hightail it from the "junior prom" (hot mission), "flak happy" (suffering from combat fatigue), hoping to get home without a "panting virgin" or a "ruptured duck" (injured plane). Members of the military, like other occupational groups, maintain their own informal vocabulary, one that serves to distinguish them from civilians, to add humor to what is often a tedious job, to relieve anxiety when the tension of war replaces the tedium of peace, and to express their frustration with the hierarchical institution of which they are a small part. In their close-knit communities they pass along inherited and often humorous turns of speech while simultaneously coining new colorful expressions that comment on the particular experiences of their unit. Some of these never make their way out of basic training, some flourish only during a particular mission, while still others become firmly established in a unit's lexicon and foster a sense of exclusivity.

Bilko, M*A*S*H and the Heyday of U.S. Military Sitcoms (1955-75) Dennis Tredy 1 If the title of this paper quotes part of the refrain from Edwin Starr’s 1970 protest song, “War,” the song’s next line, proclaiming that war is good for “absolutely nothing” seems inaccurate, at least in terms of successful television sitcoms of from the 1950s to the 1970s. In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.
