PUB DATE 2002-00-00 NOTE 18p.; Paper presented at Uplands Retirement Community (Pleasant Hill, TN, June 17, 2002). PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Authors; *Biographies; *Educational Background; Popular Culture; Primary Sources; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS *Conversation; Educators; Historical Research; *Michener (James A); Pennsylvania (Doylestown); Philanthropists ABSTRACT This paper presents an imaginary conversation between an interviewer and the novelist, James Michener (1907-1997). Starting with Michener's early life experiences in Doylestown (Pennsylvania), the conversation includes his family's poverty, his wanderings across the United States, and his reading at the local public library. The dialogue includes his education at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania), St. Andrews University (Scotland), Colorado State University (Fort Collins, Colorado) where he became a social studies teacher, and Harvard (Cambridge, Massachusetts) where he pursued, but did not complete, a Ph.D. in education. Michener's experiences as a textbook editor at Macmillan Publishers and in the U.S. Navy during World War II are part of the discourse. The exchange elaborates on how Michener began to write fiction, focuses on his great success as a writer, and notes that he and his wife donated over $100 million to educational institutions over the years. Lists five selected works about James Michener and provides a year-by-year Internet search on the author.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Renegotiating Normalcy: Gender and Marginality in the Fiction and Film of Recessional Japan
    Renegotiating Normalcy: Gender and Marginality in the Fiction and Film of Recessional Japan by Marlowe Gardiner-Heslin A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Marlowe Gardiner-Heslin 2014 Renegotiating Normalcy: Gender and Marginality in the Fiction and Film of Recessional Japan Marlowe Gardiner-Heslin Master of Arts Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This thesis explores the various ways economic stagnation has challenged normative gender roles in contemporary Japan. Since the beginning of Japan’s prolonged recession, individuals living lives that do not correspond to the standards of mainstream society have faced increased scrutiny in the mainstream media and popular discourse. Such individuals are often categorized as new phenomena and labeled with terms that emphasize their failure to adhere to economically productive models of selfhood. In order to challenge such categorizations, this paper focuses on contemporary, fictive representations of social nonconformity, while drawing parallels with earlier texts that articulate many of the same problems. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate how marginalization of large segments of the population destabilizes the supposedly universal tenets of capitalist modernity and allows for the production of less rigid models of normalcy. ii Acknowledgments I would like to thank Dr. Atsuko Sakaki for her advice at every stage of my studies. Without her constant feedback I would not have been able to complete this thesis, and her patience has been very much appreciated. I cannot imagine that there is a more thoughtful and dedicated supervisor anywhere.

In an overarching sense, I am informed by scholars like Lennard Davis and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. According to Davis in Bending Over Backwards, the focus of Disability Studies is to re-imagine the body from the "ideology of normalcy" to a "vision of the body as changeable, unperfectable, unruly, and untidy" (39).1 In a similar drive to question normalcy, according to Kosofsky Sedgwick in Tendencies, Queer Studies is an antihomophobic inquiry that examines sexuality and gender as unstable categories that "aren't made (or can't be made) to signify monolithically"(8). These fields share the practice of interrogating identities that are written on the body through cultural inscriptions of "normalcy." In a culture mediated by film, television and print media, I seek to understand how stereotypical notions of sexuality as "straight/normal" and "gay/abnormal" are perpetuated, and likewise, .

    TRANSCRIPT Task Force on Changes to the Maine Indian Land Claims Settlement Act Second Meeting : August 9, 2019 ​ ​ Part 2 Rep. Donna Bailey: So if I'm hearing you correctly, we really are just talking ​ about real property taxes. Kaighn Smith (Penobscot Nation Legal Counsel ): Well, section three, ​ paragraph three, if I may, would change the law, and would put the Tribes and their citizens on a par of other Tribes and citizens in the United States. Rep. Donna Bailey: Which.. ​ Kaighn Smith: So, generally ​ Rep. Donna Bailey: ... can you explain what that is? ​ Kaighn Smith: Excuse me? ​ Rep. Donna Bailey: What is that? ​ Kaighn Smith: So generally speaking, when Tribal members generate ​ revenue through their activities within Indian country, they are not subject to taxation. So it's on reservation activity that is generated pursuant to Tribal efforts. There's not a state tax imposed upon that income... Rep. Bailey: So, for example... And believe me, I'm just trying to understand, ​ because taxation is so far from what my area of expertise is. Rep. Bailey: So, for example, if there's a store on an Indian reservation that sells goods, do they currently send sales tax to the State of Maine? Kaighn Smith: Yes, I believe so. Mark, you could chime in on that. I believe ​ that's the case. Mark Chavaree (Penobscot Nation Legal Counsel): Yes, if it's a ​ non-governmental activity. Rep. Bailey: Okay.

  • TRANSCRIPT Task Force on Changes to the Maine Indian Land
    TRANSCRIPT Task Force on Changes to the Maine Indian Land Claims Settlement Implementing Act Fourth Meeting : October 20th, 2019 Criminal and Civil Jurisdiction Criminal Jurisdiction – Part 1 Janet Stocco (Office of Policy and Legal Analysis): I'm Janet Stocco from the Office of Policy and Legal Analysis. I worked on the criminal jurisdiction chart. I want to be honest with you all. I do not have experience very much at all in criminal law other than working for the court system for many years. And I definitely do not have any experience in Indian law. So I used the Canby Treatise and the Cohen Treatise, which was a lot bigger. So I didn't haul it up here this morning. And anytime anyone thinks that there's an error, I am not at all proud or going to be resistant to changing it. I don't want anything in this record to be wrong, so please let me know. Basically these charts were prepared at the direction of the Task force with the idea of being for discussion purposes. So if to the extent there are errors, like I said, correct them and then lets, hopefully it won't stop the discussion because that's not the point. And please ask questions or anybody behind you has corrections if the chairs are fine with that. It sounds like they were, let me know. And also we prepared this overly complicated and footnoted chart and then the Tribes came with a much cleaner chart of federal Indian law, which is a lot easier to read, I concede, and there is a chart in Canby's Treatise that's similar to that one.
