They had been the whole time, and she couldn’t tell if he had a weapon.” Joey Goebel, p. 6 “I decide to remain on the floor, where I am safe from the toxic air and the close proximity of two people I find revolt- ing.” Jay Chaffin, p. 15 Open 24 Hours 4 0p2410.qx 3/12/10 11:57 AM Page 5 Open 24 Hours Dori Howard Glitter This is how it begins: Unassuming girl in a crowded high school hallway. A boy she doesn’t know, trying to know himself. He delicately clasps her arm and pulls her Toward him, a foreign tide, as students rush past them on all sides like careless bodies of water. His tongue probes for answers in her innocent mouth and it’s quick and it’s over before she even sees his face and he has faded again into a sea of backpacks and books and lockers, leaving scented traces of cafeteria ketchup and a whispered and humid thank you in her ear. Her first kiss with a boy. His last with a girl. This is how it continues: Straight girl sheltered in a gay bar, reveling in a colorful glitter pit of mirrors and dance floors and embraces that stitch permanent imprints of designer cologne into the seams of her clothes. Since her first kiss, she cannot count the many more she’s given and received from men who love men who love men, and she carries the memory of the first like a secret coin in her pocket that she will never spend. It’s an extrication, the knowledge of living as a man’s epitome Of her gender. She is a man’s scrutiny of attraction. His capping test of genetics. So she falls in love over and over without consequence. She falls in love over and over with men who love men who love men. She falls in love with George who develops a harness for poetry that gives her infinite power over her words. With Alistair who ties her to a city life and shows her how to count the cracks in crowded sidewalks and the number of steps across bridges. With Thomas who proves that her heart is a measuring tool. She is content as they mold her into a candle free of flame, hold her skin free of touch, and she is never lonely is this world they have created so soft and unassailable because it’s true that love is love is love. 5 0p2410.qx 3/12/10 11:57 AM Page 6 Joey Goebel Awful Quiet It was not uncommon for Irene to be up at around 3:00 a.m. At least once a week, she had a wide-awake spell, which she always handled the same way: she took one half of a sleeping pill, went to the family room downstairs so she wouldn’t wake her husband, and read a book until the pill sang its sweet, simple lullaby to her brain. After taking half an Ambien, Irene turned on the family room lamp and plugged in the Christmas tree lights. The soft glow of the lights had been an image that had soothed her since she was a little girl in overalls. Irene actually enjoyed the nights when she couldn’t sleep. Her kids were peacefully drooling on their pillows. All the TV’s were off. No cars passed by outside. The telephone would not be ringing. The silence was perfect. She lay on the couch. Once her old brown shawl was draped over her just so, she opened her book, The Godfather. She had read it twice before and seen the movie over twenty times, and like most Americans considered it to be the greatest film to have ever been made. The film and the book were about some mobsters who take turns getting revenge on one another. There was something about The Godfather that always made Irene come back to it. Maybe it was because, despite all the violence, it was basically a story about a family whose members put each other above everything else. So she felt her muscles relaxing as she read about Vito and Sonny and Michael and all the rest. Thirty minutes into her reading, the shawl was mak- ing her feel toasty warm, and she felt the first hint of sleepiness. She looked over at the multi-colored Christmas tree lights, just to enjoy them for a moment. As she returned her gaze to her book, she thought she caught a glimpse of something. She looked at the doorway between the family room and dining room, and her heart instantly began beating faster than it ever had in all her life. Without a sound—without any warning whatsoever—a stranger had entered her home. He simply stood there, silently staring at her. * * * They stared at each other for twenty horribly long seconds. Irene’s nerves sizzled with fear, causing her entire body to go from toasty warm to fiery hot. She opened her mouth to scream. “Shhh,” said the man, his finger to his mouth. He wore black gloves. His face was wrapped in soiled, tattered bandages, not like a mummy so much as a hideously wounded hospital patient, and all Irene could see of his features were his dark eyes and purplish lips. “Please, I know this will be difficult for you,” he said in a slow, steady, quiet voice, “but try to remain calm. Do not cry for help. I may or may not be here to harm you. How you behave in the next five minutes will determine my decision. If you do as I say, you are much less likely to be hurt or killed, though I should warn you that no matter what—even if you do nothing at all to offend me, there is still a possibility that you’ll be killed within the next five minutes.” Irene threw her book aside and sat up.

Mellon Professor of English ii Copyright © Bradley J. Fest 2013 iii THE APOCALYPSE ARCHIVE: AMERICAN LITERATURE AND THE NUCLEAR BOMB Bradley J. Fest, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 This dissertation looks at global nuclear war as a trope that can be traced throughout twentieth century American literature. I argue that despite the non-event of nuclear exchange during the Cold War, the nuclear referent continues to shape American literary expression. Since the early 1990s the nuclear referent has dispersed into a multiplicity of disaster scenarios, producing a “second nuclear age.” If the atomic bomb once introduced the hypothesis “of a total and remainderless destruction of the archive,” today literature’s staged anticipation of catastrophe has become inseparable from the realities of global risk.

  • Decolonizing the White Colonizer? by Cecilia Cissell Lucas a Dissertation
    Decolonizing the White Colonizer? By Cecilia Cissell Lucas A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Patricia Baquedano-López, Chair Professor Zeus Leonardo Professor Ramón Grosfoguel Professor Catherine Cole Fall 2013 Decolonizing the White Colonizer? Copyright 2013 Cecilia Cissell Lucas Abstract Decolonizing the White Colonizer? By Cecilia Cissell Lucas Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Berkeley Professor Patricia Baquedano-López, Chair This interdisciplinary study examines the question of decolonizing the white colonizer in the United States. After establishing the U.S. as a nation-state built on and still manifesting a colonial tradition of white supremacy which necessitates multifaceted decolonization, the dissertation asks and addresses two questions: 1) what particular issues need to be taken into account when attempting to decolonize the white colonizer and 2) how might the white colonizer participate in decolonization processes? Many scholars in the fields this dissertation draws on -- Critical Race Theory, Critical Ethnic Studies, Coloniality and Decolonial Theory, Language Socialization, and Performance Studies -- have offered incisive analyses of colonial white supremacy, and assume a transformation of white subjectivities as part of the envisioned transformation of social, political and economic relationships. However, in regards to processes of decolonization, most of that work is focused on the decolonization of political and economic structures and on decolonizing the colonized. The questions pursued in this dissertation do not assume a simplistic colonizer/colonized binary but recognize the saliency of geo- and bio-political positionalities.

The appearance of his plays Japanese theatre and films is connected to the changing identities of resident Koreans, especially Kim Sujin since the 1980s. Kim makes use of political theatre performances of the earlier Shinjuku Ryozanpaku period to magnify and to remake into art the experiences of resident Koreans in Japan.
