  • Winston Groom Named 2011 Harper Lee Award Recipient
    Winston Groom named 2011 Harper Lee Award recipient Winston Groom of Point Clear, Ala., has been named the 2011 recipient of the Harper Lee Award for Alabama’s Distinguished Writer of the Year. Groom will receive the award at the Alabama Writers Symposium in Monroeville on May 6 at the annual luncheon. The conference will meet May 5-7. “I am truly honored to be chosen for the Harper Lee Award, and look forward to the Symposium,” said Groom. The Alabama Writers’ Forum, a partnership program of the Alabama State Council on the Arts, coordinates the process to select the Harper Lee Award recipient annually from nominations from the field. The honor is presented annually by Alabama Southern Community College at the Symposium. It is made possible through a generous grant from George F. Landegger. “One of the first books my twin sons fell in love with was Winston Groom's Only,” said Sue Brannan Walker, Alabama Writers’ Forum board president and Poet Laureate of Alabama. “From his fabulous Forrest Gump book and film to my personal favorites, A Storm in Flanders and Patriotic Fire, Winston has impressed with his humor, his depth, his versatility, and his range of subject matter. I look forward to celebrating Winston Groom's accomplishments and hearing him in Monroeville.” “To receive the Harper Lee Award is one of the biggest honors given a writer,” said Carolyn Haines, last year’s recipient. “I know Winston will cherish this honor as much as I do. We are storytellers, and this award, named for one of the best known writers in America, honors the tradition of great characters and great story.

  • From Weaklings to Wounded Warriors: the Changing Portrayal of War-Related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in American Cinema
    49th Parallel, Vol. 30 (Autumn 2012) ISSN: 1753-5794 (online) Maseda/ Dulin From Weaklings to Wounded Warriors: The Changing Portrayal of War-related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in American Cinema Rebeca Maseda, Ph.D and Patrick L. Dulin, Ph.D* University of Alaska Anchorage “That which doesn’t kill me, can only make me stronger.”1 Nietzche’s manifesto, which promises that painful experiences develop nerves of steel and a formidable character, has not stood the test of time. After decades of research, we now know that traumatic events often lead to debilitating psychiatric symptoms, relationship difficulties, disillusionment and drug abuse, all of which have the potential to become chronic in nature.2 The American public is now quite familiar with the term Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), its characteristics and associated problems. From what we know now, it would have been more appropriate for Nietzche to have stated “That which doesn’t kill me sometimes makes me stronger, sometimes cripples me completely, but regardless, will stay with me until the end of my days.” The effects of trauma have not only been a focus of mental health professionals, they have also captured the imagination of Americans through exposure to cultural artefacts. Traumatized veterans in particular have provided fascinating material for character development in Hollywood movies. In many film representations the returning veteran is violent, unpredictable and dehumanized; a portrayal that has consequences for the way veterans are viewed by U.S. society. Unlike the majority of literature stemming from trauma studies that utilizes Freudian * Dr Maseda works in the Department of Languages at the University of Alaska, Anchorage, and can be reached at [email protected].
