Hofrichterspb2015.Pdf (1.584Mb) UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA Edmond, Oklahoma Dr. Joe C. Jackson College of Graduate Studies A Song for Eurydice A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN CREATIVE WRITING By Sarah Paige Berling Hofrichter Edmond, Oklahoma 2015 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my husband, Eric, for his unwavering support and his willingness to drop everything at a moment’s notice to read my latest draft. Please keep the “What If” questions flowing, and I will grudgingly admit that Reddit does have its uses. Thank you also to my parents, who have supported me through my long and wandering college journey, and celebrated with me when I found my place in the English field. Thank you to my siblings, Katherine, Ben, Adam, and Sam, who sent me amusing photos when I got overwhelmed, and gave me tips on making the most out of my allotted 24 hours per day. Thank you to my best friends Danny Bowman, Aine-Moire Roche, and Jesse Casillas for keeping me on an even keel, through all parts of my degree path, and always encouraging me. Your adventures with active volcanoes, radiation, and kitchen fires – respectively – inspire me. Thank you to my wonderful committee, who never once told me that my premise was ludicrous and instead focused on bringing the story to the highest possible level. I appreciate that you understood the intent, and then helped drive me towards the end goal. Enormous thanks to Alpha Sigma Kappa – Women in Technical Studies and the Triangle Fraternity at the University of Oklahoma. You guys answered all of my engineering questions promptly and accurately, and then invited me out for drinks. You all deserve a medal. Many thanks to the English and Humanities professors here at UCO, who are angels made of patience, sarcasm, and obscure information. Without their guidance, I would have never found my niche, and I never would have received such enthusiastic support for a science fiction thesis. And finally, thank you to the many nerds I list as friends, who understood the drive to write about aliens, who suggested ideas, and who volunteered to attend my defense. You kept the writing from being uncomfortably solitary. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT OF THESIS . 5 TITLE OF THESIS . 6 PART ONE: TERRA ARCTURUS. 7 CHAPTER 1 . 8 CHAPTER 2 . 17 CHAPTER 3 . 26 CHAPTER 4 . 42 CHAPTER 5 . 53 CHAPTER 6 . 60 CHAPTER 7 . 67 CHAPTER 8 . 79 CHAPTER 9 . 85 PART TWO: ACHERON . 92 CHAPTER 10 . 93 CHAPTER 11 . 99 CHAPTER 12 . 104 CHAPTER 13 . 112 CHAPTER 14 . 117 CHAPTER 15 . 123 CHAPTER 16 . 136 CHAPTER 17 . 144 CHAPTER 18 . 154 CHAPTER 19 . 166 CHAPTER 20 . 177 CHAPTER 21 . 186 CHAPTER 22 . 195 CHAPTER 23 . 207 CHAPTER 24 . 217 CHAPTER 25 . 228 CHAPTER 26 . 239 CHAPTER 27 . 240 PART THREE: BILÖST . 257 CHAPTER 28 . 258 CHAPTER 29 . 271 CHAPTER 30 . 291 CHAPTER 31 . 314 CHAPTER 32 . 317 4 ABSTRACT OF THESIS AUTHOR: Sarah Paige Berling Hofrichter TITLE: A Song For Eurydice DIRECTOR OF THESIS: James Daro, MFA PAGES: 332 A SONG FOR EURYDICE tells the tale of the human refugees living in the desert wasteland of Terra Arcturus, hundreds of light-years from their obliterated home, Old Earth. The story follows Captain Orion Andersen of the former Scandinavian Kingdoms of Northern Europe (SKONE), whose arrival on Terra Arcturus has effectively curtailed further military advancement; his murdered girlfriend, Niki Alsecco, whose death reveals more complex political twists than surface tensions would suggest; and the distant gods of Orion and Niki’s ancestors, upon whom Orion calls when battle with Rhialt, the chief deity of the native Nessians, appears imminent. The story is told from the point of view of a nameless Scribe in service to the Judges, who, in the absence of God-of-Old, determine the eternal fates of their human charges. With political unrest straining relations amongst the Judges, the Scribe finds that telling the tale of Orion and Niki could be the key to saving the remaining human refugees from eternal damnation. A SONG FOR EURYDICE asks the question, “Who determines what is real?” It explores the relationship between reality and madness; religion and science; and history and the future. This novel seeks to show the futility of describing subjective experience as objective truth through use of metaphor. Ultimately, the novel decides, reality exists only in your head. It is what you choose to do with that knowledge that determines who you are. 5 A Song for Eurydice 6 PART ONE TERRA ARCTURUS Behold the Invocation. Hail, O God, Lord Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth. As He was in the Beginning, so is He now and so shall He ever be. Worlds without number, worlds without end. All things must end. Behold the Intimation. Hail, O Children of God, who from dust born, to dust return. Hail, O Sons of Adam, who wander the myriad Edens circling in Heaven’s luminous sky. Hail, O Daughters of Eve, who tame the New Earth and all Her Creatures, forging Paradise from Despair. Hail, O Sin, Mother to Mankind, Progenitor of Progress, Herlequin of Hell. Hail, O Death, O War, O Plague, O Famine: Hail to Mankind’s foregone Destiny, written in the Book of Life, pages torn from the Tree of Knowledge. Well met, Immutable Fortune. Behold the Interpolation. Hail, O Grateful Vicissitude, the Lord no longer with thee. The Lord no longer with us. The Lord, no longer. 7 CHAPTER ONE On the day that she died, Orion Andersen sat in his favorite pub, drinking the pisswater that passed for beer on this backward planet, and wishing she'd never existed. The beer was derived from the sour berries found on every single damn bush in this city, it seemed like, and it left a bad taste in his mouth. But it was better, he knew, than the liquor served in most bars – derived from a sharp-bladed cactus he had never bothered to learn the name of. Everything about Terra Arcturus disgusted him. Niki was only the icing on this molding cake. He stared at the mirror behind the bar where, if this had been a civilized place, images of naked women or sports scores would appear. Instead, Orion saw himself as he was sure the bartender saw him: just another miserable soldier with an unacceptable haircut and red-rimmed eyes. And the uniform, of course. He hated that fucking uniform. “'Ey,” Orion said, clumsily snapping his fingers. “Need 'nother beer.” The bartender spat on the ground. That was another thing Orion hated about Arcturus: these hillbillies had no sense of hygiene. “I serve you no more beer,” the bartender said, crossing his arms. 8 The accents on this little planet were difficult for him to decipher, but he could understand the basics: he was being cut off. What is his name? You can reason with a man if you can use his first name. “Jereshi,” Orion mumbled. That's right. With the J's pronounced like Y's because that's how the natives spoke. The post- pissers were hopeless when it came to speaking Sapiens, and over time, the humans fell into their lazy speech patterns. Pathetic. “What do you want? I tell you, no more beer for soldier scum. You must leave. Pay first.” “Jereshi,” Orion pleaded, “I'm not drunk. Really. Just one more?” “No.” Fuck it. He could piss better beer, and probably would once he got home. No, he wouldn't go home, he decided. He would go somewhere else, to wait off the beer sweats and clear his mind. Maybe then he could reason with Niki. As he reached into his pocket to grab money he had never cared to differentiate, a rough hand clamped onto his shoulder. Oh God the Nessians the fucking Nessians I killed them God no I killed them what are they doing here I killed them when I got to Arcturus and they're back and they want revenge and... Wait I did kill them I remember the ship fell apart screams over the intercom the ship fell into orbit but... What about ghosts don't those primitives believe in ghosts goblins what if they really do exist only here on this God-forsaken planet and... 9 Christ. How do I fight a ghost? He scrambled for his gun and spun around in his chair. Hopelessly tangled, he fell to the floor in a defensive crouch, preparing for the worst. “Hey, Rion,” Thompkins said from up above. “You look a little drunk.” The tension left Orion so quickly that his bladder let go. Damn it. It was just Thompkins. He debated spilling some beer on himself to cover the urine stain - Thompkins would never let him live down the fact that he wet himself. “Help me up, asshole,” Orion said, holding out a hand. Thompkins grabbed it and hauled him to his feet. “No more drinks,” the bartender insisted. “We are closed now. Go away.” “Yeah, yeah,” muttered Orion as he tossed a half dozen small coins on the bar. The small ones were worth less than the big ones, but he couldn't say how much, and he couldn't say he cared. If it wasn't enough, the bartender would let him know. Thompkins kept a steel grip on Orion's upper arm, though Orion was certain he wouldn't fall again. Thompkins was a very different breed of animal from the Nessians. “Let's get you home, soldier,” his friend said. A third shadow fell into step with them as they walked into the bright desert sunlight.

  • The Culture of Literature and Language in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland
    The Culture of Literature and Language in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland 15th International Conference on Medieval and Renaissance Scottish Literature and Language (ICMRSLL) University of Glasgow, Scotland, 25-28 July 2017 Draft list of speakers and abstracts Plenary Lectures: Prof. Alessandra Petrina (Università degli Studi di Padova), ‘From the Margins’ Prof. John J. McGavin (University of Southampton), ‘“Things Indifferent”? Performativity and Calderwood’s History of the Kirk’ Plenary Debate: ‘Literary Culture in Medieval and Renaissance Scotland: Perspectives and Patterns’ Speakers: Prof. Sally Mapstone (Principal and Vice-Chancellor of the University of St Andrews) and Prof. Roger Mason (University of St Andrews and President of the Scottish History Society) Plenary abstracts: Prof. Alessandra Petrina: ‘From the margins’ Sixteenth-century Scottish literature suffers from the superimposition of a European periodization that sorts ill with its historical circumstances, and from the centripetal force of the neighbouring Tudor culture. Thus, in the perception of literary historians, it is often reduced to a marginal phenomenon, that draws its force solely from its powers of receptivity and imitation. Yet, as Philip Sidney writes in his Apology for Poetry, imitation can be transformed into creative appropriation: ‘the diligent imitators of Tully and Demosthenes (most worthy to be imitated) did not so much keep Nizolian paper-books of their figures and phrases, as by attentive translation (as it were) devour them whole, and made them wholly theirs’. The often lamented marginal position of Scottish early modern literature was also the key to its insatiable exploration of continental models and its development of forms that had long exhausted their vitality in Italy or France.

It seeks to establish the relationship of the various valkyrja reflexes of the culture under study with other supernatural females (particularly the dísir) through the close and careful examination of primary source material, thereby proposing a new model of base supernatural femininity for the late Iron Age. The study then goes on to examine how the valkyrjur themselves deviate from this ground state, interrogating various aspects and features associated with them in skaldic, Eddic, prose and iconographic source material as seen through the lens of the hall-based warrior elite, before presenting a new understanding of valkyrja phenomena in this social context: that valkyrjur were used as instruments to propagate the pre-existing social structures of the culture that created and maintained them throughout the late Iron Age.

  • Thor's Return of the Giant Geirrod's Red-Hot Missile Seen in a Cosmic Context
    Thor’s Return of the Giant Geirrod’s Red-Hot Missile Seen in a Cosmic Context EMILY LYLE University of Edinburgh Abstract Discussion of the specific episode is preceded by a brief presentation of current theory concerning Indo-European myth in its cosmological framework to provide context. In the cosmological view sketched by Michael Witzel inThe Origins of the World’s Mythologies, the hero/young god must engage in a series of feats to create the conditions for human life to flourish. I have suggested that the conditions before the hero’s actions in the Indo-European context are envisaged as the extremes: too close; too hot; too dry; and too wet. It is argued that this particular threat is ‘too hot’ and comes from a giant figure who is one of the old gods, probably identifiable as Odin. When Geirrod throws a red-hot missile at Thor, Thor catches it and kills the giant when he sends it back. The related stories of Thor’s visit to Utgarthaloki and Thorstein’s visit to Geirrod are also treated, and attention is drawn to Welsh and Irish parallels which make an equivalence between thrown weapon and destructive gaze. It is suggested that the story may culminate in the motif of eye as star found separately. Keywords: Edda, giants, Indo-European cosmology, Odin, Old Norse mythology, Thor In order that the proposed cosmic interpretation of the specific episode of Thor’s return of Geirrod’s missile can be received and considered, it may be helpful to provide preliminary notes on the whole cosmological approach now available to scholars.
