  • Thoreau As an Oblique Mirror: Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild

    Thoreau As an Oblique Mirror: Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild

    American Studies in Scandinavia, 47:1 (2015), pp. 40-60. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). Thoreau as an Oblique Mirror: Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild José Sánchez Vera Karlstad University Abstract: In his nonfiction biography of Christopher McCandless, Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer uses a plethora of references to Henry D. Thoreau. In this article I analyze Krakauer’s use of Thoreau’s economic ideas, liberalism, and view of nature and wil- derness. I argue that Krakauer blurs a pragmatic understanding of Thoreau and uses techniques of fiction to create an appealing story and characterize McCandless as a latter-day Thoreauvian transcendentalist. By doing so, Krakauer explains and de- fends the protagonist’s actions from criticism, thereby making him appear as a char- acter whose story is exceptional. Although the characterization of the protagonist as a follower of Thoreauvian ideals by means of a partial interpretation of Thoreau does not provide us with a better understanding of McCandless’s life, Krakauer’s extensive research and the critical self-reflection in the text produces a compelling nonfiction narrative. Moreover, the romantic image of Thoreau advanced by Krakauer reflects the preoccupations and issues that concerned Krakauer, or at least his times. Particu- larly, it reflects Krakauer’s own ideas concerning the negative effects of materialism on both ourselves and the natural world. Key words: Jon Krakauer, Henry David Thoreau, Into the Wild, nonfiction, nature, transcendentalism Into the Wild is Jon Krakauer’s nonfiction biography of Christopher Mc- Candless, a talented college graduate who inexplicably leaves his family, his friends, and all the comforts of civilization in search of ultimate free- dom, a nobler form of life closer to nature and divorced from the extreme materialism of American society.
  • The Chris Mccandless Obsession Problem

    The Chris Mccandless Obsession Problem

    The Chris McCandless Obsession Problem Diana Saverin, Outside Magazine, December 18, 2013 On the isolated shore of the Savage River, in the backcountry of interior Alaska, there‘s a small memorial to a deceased woman named Claire Ackermann. A pile of rocks sits on a metal plaque with an inscription that reads, in part: ―To stay put is to exist; to travel is to live.‖ Three years ago, Ackermann, 29, and her boyfriend, Etienne Gros, 27, tried to cross the Teklanika River, a couple of miles west from the Savage. They tied themselves to a rope that somebody had run from one bank to the other, to aid such attempts. The Teklanika is powerful in summertime, and about halfway across they lost their footing. The rope dipped into the water, and Ackermann and Gros, still tied on, were pulled under by its weight. Gros grabbed a knife, cut himself loose, and swam to shore. He waded back out to try and rescue Ackermann, but it was too late—she had already drowned. He cut her loose and swam with her body 300 yards downstream, where he dragged her to land on the river‘s far shore. His attempts at CPR were useless. Ackermann, who was from Switzerland, and Gros, a Frenchman, had been hiking the Stampede Trail, a route made famous by Christopher McCandless, who walked it in April 1992. Many people now know about McCandless and how the 24-year-old idealist bailed out of his middle- class suburban life, donated his $24,000 in savings to charity, and embarked on a two-year hitchhiking odyssey that led him to Alaska and the deserted Fairbanks City Transit bus number 142, which still sits, busted and rusting, 20 miles down the Stampede Trail.

    From Label to Practice: the Process of Creating New Nordic Cuisine

    Journal of Culinary Science & Technology,11:36–55,2013 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 1542-8052 print/1542-8044 online DOI: 10.1080/15428052.2013.754296 From Label to Practice: The Process of Creating New Nordic Cuisine HALDOR BYRKJEFLOT,1 JESPER STRANDGAARD PEDERSEN,2 and SILVIYA SVEJENOVA2 1University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway 2Copenhagen Business School, Copenhagen, Denmark This article examines the process of creation of new Nordic cui- sine (NNC) as a culinary innovation, focusing on the main stages, actors, and mechanisms that shaped the new label and its prac- tices and facilitated its diffusion in the region and internationally. Fast-paced diffusion was possible because NNC was conceived as an identity movement, triggered by active involvement of entrepreneurial leaders from the culinary profession, high-profile political supporters, legitimating scientists, disseminating media, and interpreting audiences. It was facilitated by three mechanisms: First, the use of an “empty” label, without a previous meaning in food, yet with positive connotations in other domains, allowed establishing a positive abstract notion open to interpretations and different practices. Second, the invitation for participation and financial support for innovative initiatives allowed for more actors and institutions to develop practices associated with the NNC label. Third, organized dissemination allowed the excitement and engagement with the new label to spread quickly. KEYWORDS New Nordic Cuisine, culinary innovation, diffusion, identity movement Received 28 March 2012; accepted 11 June 2012. We would like to thank our informants Eivind Hålien, Peter Kreiner, Claus Meyer, Ólafur Örn Ólafsson, Harald Osa, Einar Risvik, Finn Børre Stokholm, Mette Vinther Talberg, Fannar Vernharðsson, and Andreas Viestad for sharing their insights about New Nordic Cuisine.

    Into the Wild​ and Transcendentalism

    Into the Wild and Transcendentalism ​ C. Cangemi [email protected] AP English Language & Composition Unit Overview This lesson sequence is designed for Advanced Placement English Language & Composition students; however, it can be easily modified for any 11th or 12th grade English class. While students will gain significant knowledge of Transcendental ideas and thorough knowledge of the myriad literary works that inspired Chris McCandless, the protagonist in Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild, a major focus in this lesson ​ ​ sequence is for students to hone comprehension skills through intense and repeated close readings of challenging texts (the types of texts that can be found on the AP exam). There are 10 lessons included here, attached to 10 (out of 18) various chapters in Into the Wild. This ​ ​ particular lesson plan begins after a thorough introduction to Into the Wild and a classroom reading of ​ Chapter 1. Each lesson will run for at least one 48-minute period, but flexibility is important because some of these lessons can go two or even three days depending on the discussion that is generated by the students. The unit will focus on the following threads: ● “Living in Nature” ● “Examining Desperate and Deliberate Lives” ● “Practicing Simplicity” ● “Choosing Life with Principle” ​ ​ ● “Relationships” It’s important for students to pay attention and track these threads because their final assessment requires them to write about one of them. Most of these threads will be introduced with a reading from Henry David Thoreau. However, an introduction to Ralph Waldo Emerson and Transcendentalism will be presented with the third lesson. Essential/Framing Questions 1.

    Transcendentalism: Ethereal Experience or Tragic Naiveté? Within “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau and “The Death of an Innocent by Jon Krakauer, the individual’s search for isolation and a transcendental experience is illustrated with drastically different results. While both Thoreau and McCandless are indeed idealistic, Thoreau walked away from Walden Pond, McCandless did not. Your assignment is to analyze the similarities and differences of their transcendental experiences. Use: Thoreau’s “Walden” on page 205 of your texts. Krakauer’s “The Death of an Innocent” from Outside magazine (see below) Venn Diagram Outside Magazine January 1993 Death of an Innocent How Christopher McCandless lost his way in the wilds By Jon Krakauer James Gallien had driven five miles out of Fairbanks when he spotted the hitchhiker standing in the snow beside the road, thumb raised high, shivering in the gray Alaskan dawn. A rifle protruded from the young man's pack, but he looked friendly enough; a hitchhiker with a Remington semiautomatic isn't the sort of thing that gives motorists pause in the 49th state. Gallien steered his four-by-four onto the shoulder and told him to climb in. The hitchhiker introduced himself as Alex. "Alex?" Gallien responded, fishing for a last name. "Just Alex," the young man replied, pointedly rejecting the bait. He explained that he wanted a ride as far as the edge of Denali National Park, where he intended to walk deep into the bush and "live off the land for a few months." Alex's backpack appeared to weigh only 25 or 30 pounds, which struck Gallien, an accomplished outdoorsman, as an improbably light load for a three-month sojourn in the backcountry, especially so early in the spring.

    ‘American Idol’ Cast-Off MK Nobilette

    ‘American Idol’ Cast-off MK Nobilette Hopes to “Be a Good Role Model” for the LGBT Community By Louisa Gonzales MK Nobilette made headlines early on during this season of American Idol when she became the first openly gay contestant. Of the attention on her sexual orientation instead of her singing skills, she says, “I was definitely a little taken aback at first, but I get that it plays a role. I’m a singer, and I’m also gay. I felt like it was important to address that. I’m very proud of it and open about it.” Although her time on the show has ended, she’s hopeful that she can continue to be a source of inspiration for other members of the LGBT community. “I want to be a good role model for other queer people who are afraid to come out or think they can’t do something as big as American Idol. I really hope I influence a lot of people.” Related Link: ‘American Idol’ Contestant Ben Briley Sings to Better His Family’s Future One person who she’s certainly inspired is her girlfriend Casey Ellis, who is also a singer. “It was great to have her on my side for all of this. It was really great,” the California native said of her partner who she calls “wife” on her Twitter profile. For same-sex couples struggling to find their place in the world, Nobilette encourages them to talk to their loved ones. “And just be proud of yourself. Remind yourself that, no matter what happens, you still have you, and that’s the most important thing.” So what’s next for the singer? First, she’ll be going home to San Francisco to spend time with her family and friends before heading out on the American Idol summer tour with the other top 10 contestants.
