Dr. Charles Hatfield supported me throughout the dissertation. His expertise on theoretical framing helped me develop an approach to my topic through a range of texts and disciplines. Dr. Frederick Turner encouraged me to continue and develop narrative elements in my poetry and took a particular interest when I began writing poems about southeastern Ohio. He encouraged me to get to the essence of specific poems through multiple drafts. Dr. Rainer Schulte, Dr. Richard Brettell, and Dr. Nils Roemer were my introduction to The University of Texas at Dallas. Dr. Schulte’s “Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Arts and Humanities” highlighted many of the strengths of our program, and “Crafting Poetry” provided useful insight into my own poetry as well as a thorough introduction international poetry. Dr. Brettell’s “Art and Anarchy” course expounded the idea that poets could be political in their lives and work, both overtly and implicitly.

From that distance, he saw through the illusions that had kept Rune’s people hidden for millennia. He saw a massive island, in the northern Atlantic, where none should be. Atlantis.

  • The Green in White Noise: Consumption, Technology, and The
    The Green in White Noise: Consumption, Technology, and the Environment by Katelyn Hummer A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2013 © March 25, 2013 Katelyn Ashley Hummer Acknowledgements To all voices of encouragement forming the panasonic halo that compelled a silent pen: though I will refrain from including pages of names, please know that you are my signifieds, my referents—my rock. Words cannot express the depth of my gratitude. Abstract In this thesis, I examine consumption in White Noise from two aspects: the characters’ motivations to consume and, subsequently, the ecological consequences of this consumption. Through this discussion of consumption, I propose a re- thinking of White Noise’s canonical status as a postmodern novel, suggesting that perhaps it is a pioneer of a post-postmodern genre. Chapter One begins with an exploration of why it may be “natural” for Jack and Babette to want to consume, which reveals that the they consume to viscerally remain detached from their inanimate environment, ultimately allowing them to “conquer” death. However, the characters’ unnatural, over-consumption results in a state of being too detached; and this feeling of disconnection renders their consumption unfulfilling because they feel an ambiguous lack of a concrete something. This feeling of lack results in a desire for an attachment to something real and tangible in a world of commodities and simulacra, which I propose entails a return to “ancient” “tribal” values. But, in Chapter Two, I show that a sense of telos can also satiate this desire for existential attachment.

  • Aesthetic Spaces in the Fiction of Dh
    THE MAKING OF BEAUTY: AESTHETIC SPACES IN THE FICTION OF D. H. LAWRENCE, MURIEL SPARK, AND VIRGINIA WOOLF A Dissertation by JOORI LEE Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Mary Ann O’Farrell Committee Members, Emily Johansen Kate Kelly Kristi Sweet Head of Department, Nancy Warren August 2013 Major Subject: English Copyright 2013 Joori Lee ABSTRACT This dissertation rethinks textual images of the other’s beauty, depicted in works by D. H. Lawrence, Muriel Spark, and Virginia Woolf, whose fascination with the other, called by this dissertation the beloved, urged them to inscribe the beloved’s original beauty in texts. Their works make perceptible the singularity of the beloved, while revealing the writers’ predicament in translating the beloved’s ineffability in texts. Taking the untranslatability of the beloved into consideration, this dissertation traces the ways in which these writers’ texts capture the beloved’s original beauty at moments of revelation, related to epiphanies entering the terrain of literary modernism. My study thereby scrutinizes the dynamics of images of beauty and their impacts on art and politics in the context of modernism. In doing so, I argue that the texts I consider express the beloved’s singularity in challenge of the beautified images that many other artists invented for self-directed purposes in the early and mid-twentieth century. First, I explore Lawrence’s creation of aesthetic spaces in Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928) in keeping with his desire for making palpable visual spectacles through the text.
