  • Towards a Disruptive Theory of the Affectual Queer Hemispheric
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository Towards a Disruptive Theory of the Affectual Queer Hemispheric Theories of Affect and Corporeality in the Americas by Natalie A. Martínez A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved July 2014 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Keith Miller, Chair Damián Baca Duane Roen ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY August 2014 ©2014 Natalie A. Martínez All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT At the heart of this dissertation is a push for critical genealogy that intervenes into two major theoretical bodies of work in rhetoric and composition -- affect studies and queer latina rhetorics. Chapter one intervenes into emerging discourses on publics and affect studies from seamlessly recovering “the body” as an always-already Western body of rhetoric in the advent of this renewed interest in emotion, embodiment, and structures of affect as rhetorical concepts showing the long history of theorizing by queer mestizas. Chapter two focuses on one register of affect: anger, which articulated from the works of writers such as Maria Lugones and Gloria Anzaldúa offers a complex theory of agency for the subaltern subject. Chapter three links emotions like anger and melancholia to the corporeal rhetorics of skin and face, metaphors that are abundant in the queer mestiza and chicana writers under discussion, revealing the dramatic inner-workings of a the queer mestiza subject and the inter-subjective dynamics between the racialized and gendered performance of that body. By re-rooting affect in the queer colonized, yet resistant body, the link between the writing subject and colonial violence is made clear.

  • Appendix B: a Literary Heritage I
    Appendix B: A Literary Heritage I. Suggested Authors, Illustrators, and Works from the Ancient World to the Late Twentieth Century All American students should acquire knowledge of a range of literary works reflecting a common literary heritage that goes back thousands of years to the ancient world. In addition, all students should become familiar with some of the outstanding works in the rich body of literature that is their particular heritage in the English- speaking world, which includes the first literature in the world created just for children, whose authors viewed childhood as a special period in life. The suggestions below constitute a core list of those authors, illustrators, or works that comprise the literary and intellectual capital drawn on by those in this country or elsewhere who write in English, whether for novels, poems, nonfiction, newspapers, or public speeches. The next section of this document contains a second list of suggested contemporary authors and illustrators—including the many excellent writers and illustrators of children’s books of recent years—and highlights authors and works from around the world. In planning a curriculum, it is important to balance depth with breadth. As teachers in schools and districts work with this curriculum Framework to develop literature units, they will often combine literary and informational works from the two lists into thematic units. Exemplary curriculum is always evolving—we urge districts to take initiative to create programs meeting the needs of their students. The lists of suggested authors, illustrators, and works are organized by grade clusters: pre-K–2, 3–4, 5–8, and 9– 12.

We will explore how this literature affects, documents, and creates Chicana/o Latina/o identities, politics, and the epistemologies/subjectivities of Chicana/o Latina/o authors in the United States. Through our journey we will use novels, short stories, poetry, performance, screenplays, comedy, spoken word, theatre, essays, music, and film to examine the diversity of themes, issues, and genres within the "Community" and the legacy and development of a growing “Chicana/o Latina/o Cultural Renaissance." We will also use critical performance pedagogy to engage particular problems in the literature and in the community. Through group/team work, community service, and interactive lectures and discussions we will delve into the analysis, accessibility, and application of Chicana/o Latina/o literature. We will ask questions around the issues of--and intersections between--gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, language, religion, tradition, colonization, access, citizenship, migration, culture, ideology, epistemology, politics, and love.

  • 260 POETRY WITHIN the PALE Garrison Keillor. Good Poems
    NOTRE DAME REVIEW POETRY WITHIN THE PALE Garrison Keillor. Good Poems: American Places. Viking Adult, 2011. Norman Minnick Garrison Keillor has released another collection of good poems culled from the collection of daily readings on his daily radio program “The Writer’s Almanac.” The first in this series was simply titled Good Poems, the second Good Poems for Hard Times. Keillor’s aim in Good Poems: American Places is to present poems that are “straightforward, declarative, in plain English.” Here are a couple of open- ing lines. On a rainy day in Seattle stumble into any coffee shop and look wounded by the rain. (“Black Umbrellas” by Rick Agran) Perhaps, in a distant café, four or five people are talking with four or five people who are chatting on their cell phones this morning in my favorite café. (“Bridal Shower” by George Bilgere) Keillor remarks in his introduction, “The real world trumps the imaginary. They may not tell you this in Poetry Writing 101: the dear readers, bless their hearts, have their bullshit detectors turned up high when reading a poem and usually those detectors start beeping by the second line.” Later he says, “Paging through the unreadable work of various highly honorable po- ets, one longs for a little humanity, a little attention paid to their surround- ings.” So with my bullshit detector on I decided to page through Keillor’s American Places to discover just how much attention has been paid to our American surroundings. Here is another by George Bilgere: I’m sitting here reading the paper, feeling warm and satisfied, basically content with my life and all I have achieved.

    ENGL 631: STUDIES IN NONFICTION PROSE 20th-Century and Contemporary American Prison Autobiographies Katy Ryan, Professor of English Spring 2019 Office Hours: Thurs 10 - 12 and by appointment Colson 221 [email protected] Language gave me a way to keep the chaos of prison at bay and prevent it from devouring me. Jimmy Santiago Baca Course Description This semester we will study the history and literature of the prison in the United States. We will begin with Douglas Blackmon’s Slavery By Another Name and Sarah Haley’s No Mercy Here. As we work to understand intersectional race and class dynamics in the expansion of the carceral state, we will also consider women’s and LGBTQ experiences in a system starkly organized by gender. We will be reading twentieth-century and contemporary literary works primarily by imprisoned and formerly imprisoned people. Life-writing that describes time in prison provides imaginative access to a highly locked down environment. Certain subjects will recur in our readings, such as, the pain of separation from loved ones, violence and victimization, barriers to post-release life, access to books, and the cultivation of internal and communal sources of strength. Some writers conform to a conversion structure; others resist the arc toward redemption. Some situate their story within a larger historical moment; others concentrate on personal experience; many do both. I am especially interested in how writers deal with time—as passing, punishment, possibility. You will have a chance to learn about the Appalachian Prison Book Project, a nonprofit that sends free books to imprisoned people in six states and facilitates book clubs inside prison.

  • Engl 275: Justice and Literature
    ENGL 275: JUSTICE AND LITERATURE Katy Ryan Spring 2016 Colson 221 304.293.9729 [email protected] Office Hours: Tues/Thurs 11:30-12:30 and by appointment Language gave me a way to keep the chaos of prison at bay and prevent it from devouring me. Jimmy Santiago Baca, A Place to Stand Hopelessness is the enemy of justice. Bryan Stevenson COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is a reading-intensive study of the literature and culture of imprisonment. Our guiding questions will be conceptual, literary, and historical. For instance, What is justice? Does writing by imprisoned people constitute a literary genre or literary tradition? How and why did the United States come to lead the world in incarceration? To answer these (and other) questions, we will read twentieth-century and contemporary US American literature written mainly by imprisoned and formerly imprisoned people. These writers provide imaginative access, through essays, novels, poems, and plays, to a locked- down environment. Often addressed to an outside audience, these works describe the degradation of incarceration, offer insight into the alliance between penal systems and private industry, reflect on what is meant (and not meant) by “criminal behavior,” and identify resources for survival and transformation. We will also consider what it means to “do time.” The penitentiary was designed with death in mind. The idea was this: Isolated in a cell, chastened by silence, disciplined by labor, the imprisoned subject would reflect and become penitent, journey through death and rejoin the human family, reborn, rehabilitated. It pretty much never worked that way. (According to Michel Foucault, it was never meant to work that way.) We will work to understand the history of the modern prison, the persistence of racial disparities in criminal sentencing, and our present precarious moment.
