  • In the City I Long For”
    “IN THE CITY I LONG FOR” i “IN THE CITY I LONG FOR”: DISCOVERING AND ENFOLDING URBAN NATURE IN ONTARIO LITERATURE By MATTHEW ZANTINGH, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Matthew Zantingh, July 2014. ii McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2014) Hamilton, Ontario (English & Cultural Studies) TITLE: “In the City I Long For”: Discovering and Enfolding Urban Nature in Ontario Literature AUTHOR: Matthew Zantingh, B.A. (The King’s University College), M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Daniel Coleman NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 307. iii Abstract This dissertation examines the literary archives of three Ontario cities – Windsor, Hamilton, and Toronto – to discover and enfold urban nature in our everyday lives. Beginning with a refusal to accept the popular notion that there is no nature in the city or that the city is separate from the natural world, I seek to engage with writers in these three cities to find representations of and engagements with the natural world in an urban setting. In the light of a growing environmental crisis marked by fossil fuel shortages, climate change, biodiversity decline, and habitat loss, this project is an attempt to craft a meaningful response from an ecocritical perspective. Central to this response are two key contentions: one, that the natural world is in the city, but we need to find ways to recognize it there; and, two, that the most efficacious and ethical way to respond to environmental crisis is to make this urban nature a part of our everyday lives by fostering attachments to it and protecting it, or, to put it differently, enfolding it into our human lives.

  • The Child Organ Trafficking Rumor: a Modern 'Urban Legend'
    THE CHILD ORGAN TRAFFICKING RUMOR: A MODERN 'URBAN LEGEND' A REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON THE SALE OF CHILDREN, CHILD PROSTITUTION, AND CHILD PORNOGRAPHY BY THE UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY DECEMBER 1994 by Todd Leventhal United States Information Agency Washington, D.C. TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary Introduction A Modern "Urban Legend" The Rumor Enters the World Press The Rumor's Adverse Effects 1993-1994: The Rumor Attains Unprecedented Credibility "The Body Parts Business" "Organ Snatchers" The European Parliament Resolution The "Sottas Report" "Ninos de Repuesto" The "Correio Braziliense" series Alleged Organ Trafficking in the Philippines Misinformation in Italy The Impossibility of Concealing Clandestine Organ Transplants Previous Investigations of Child Organ Trafficking Allegations Conclusion EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Since January 1987, rumors that children are being kidnapped so that they can be used as unwilling donors in organ transplants have been rampant in the world media. No government, international body, non-governmental organization, or investigative journalist has ever produced any credible evidence to substantiate this story, however. Instead, there is every reason to believe that the child organ trafficking rumor is a modern "urban legend," a false story that is commonly believed because it encapsulates, in story form, widespread anxieties about modern life. Organ transplant experts agree that it would be impossible to successfully conceal any clandestine murder-for-organ-trafficking ring. Because of the large number of people who must be involved in an organ transplant, the sophisticated medical technology needed to conduct such operations, the extremely short amount of time that organs remain viable for transplant, and the abhorrent nature of the alleged activities, such operations could neither be organized clandestinely nor be kept secret.
