The works I have selected are Sarah Kane’s Blasted and Caryl Churchill’s Seven Jewish Children: A play for Gaza. To assist the understanding of the spectator and to enable me to engage with the plays in closer detail I draw on a selection of theories from the philosophers Judith Butler and Arne Johan Vetlesen.

  • Copyright 2014 Cecily Garber
    Copyright 2014 Cecily Garber FICTION-CRITICISM IN INTERWAR ENGLAND: JUDGMENT, GENDER, AND THE PLURALIST PUBLIC SPHERE BY CECILY R. GARBER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Kirkpatrick Professor Vicki Mahaffey, Chair Associate Professor Hina Nazar Associate Professor Jim Hansen Assistant Professor Andrew Gaedke ABSTRACT It is tempting to say that intellectual writers in early twentieth-century Britain produced popular journalism for outlets like Good Housekeeping, Vanity Fair, and The Daily Telegraph simply to make money. However, this dissertation argues that such “side” work in fact played an important role in intellectual writers’ careers by giving them tools to produce topical, political literature. This study first examines the popular essays of Rose Macaulay, Aldous Huxley, and Virginia Woolf, all intellectually respected novelists in their day, to argue that their journalism crossed contentious lines in the period’s “battle of the ’brows,” or the battle between high, middle, and lowbrows for cultural legitimacy. This study then defines a genre I call “fiction- criticism” to describe novels like Macaulay’s Potterism, Huxley’s Point Counter Point, and Woolf’s unpublished “novel-essay,” The Pargiters, which all bear significant traces of their popular essay writing and occupy an overdetermined position in the literary public sphere. Fiction-criticism’s status as accessible, intelligent, and conversant with high and middlebrow conventions allowed it to capture and speak to a wide readership from varying classes and cultural backgrounds. In doing so, the genre promoted dialogue between citizens with different tastes, outlooks, and even value systems and consequently worked to broaden readers’ political judgment.

  • Israel-Palestine: for Human Values in the Absence of a Just Peace
    Israel-Palestine: For Human Values in the Absence of a Just Peace Israel-Palestine: For Human Values in the Absence of a Just Peace In fulfillment of its assignment from the 221st General Assembly (2014) to review the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s support for the “two-state” solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, the Advisory Committee on Social Witness Policy recommends that the 222nd General Assembly (2016) adopt the following summary assessment (I) and requested recommendations (II), and receive the supporting study and policy review (III). These sections together constitute a report with actions appropriate to a situation of moral urgency entitled, Israel-Palestine: For Human Values in the Absence of a Just Peace. The sections are: I. While the Door Closes: A Summary Assessment II. Acting on Christian and Universal Values: Recommendations III. The Two State Approach from a Values Perspective: A Brief Study I. While the Door Closes This report focuses on the actual situation of Palestinians and Israelis in the land they share and on the values that need support from all people seeking a just peace. Faithful to the General Assembly’s assignment, the report resists simple formulas. It understands the responsibility of a single church based in the US to contribute to a larger ecumenical and interfaith conversation about basic moral expectations and to take informed actions of integrity, witness, and solidarity. The Presbyterian Church [PC(USA)] has had a deep concern for Israel-Palestine for many reasons, including its place in Christian self-understanding and the prominent role the United States has taken there.

CProjects for Peace, created in 2007, has challenged college students to design their summer projects and implement their winning proposals with $10,000 grants . Over 1,500 winning projects have taken place across the U .S . and in nearly 150 other countries during the past 13 years . The founding force behind all of these projects was internationalist Kathryn W . Davis who, on the eve of her 100th birthday, asked me to design a program for college students that would, in her words, “bring about a mindset of preparing for peace, instead of preparing for war .” Kathryn initially gave $1,000,000 to try out the idea . She was so enthused by what ensued in that first year that she made philanthropic provisions for funding ongoing annual competi- tions and grants for winning Projects for Peace to continue long after she passed away .
