  • In Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: the Image
    Burlesquing “Otherness” 101 Burlesquing “Otherness” in Nineteenth-Century American Theatre: The Image of the Indian in John Brougham’s Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs (1847) and Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage (1855). Zoe Detsi-Diamanti When John Brougham’s Indian burlesque, Met-a-mora; or, The Last of the Pollywogs, opened in Boston at Brougham’s Adelphi Theatre on November 29, 1847, it won the lasting reputation of an exceptional satiric force in the American theatre for its author, while, at the same time, signaled the end of the serious Indian dramas that were so popular during the 1820s and 1830s. Eight years later, in 1855, Brougham made a most spectacular comeback with another Indian burlesque, Po-Ca-Hon-Tas; or, The Gentle Savage, an “Original, Aboriginal, Erratic, Operatic, Semi-Civilized, and Demi-savage Extravaganza,” which was produced at Wallack’s Lyceum Theatre in New York City.1 Both plays have been invariably cited as successful parodies of Augustus Stone’s Metamora; or, The Last of the Wampanoags (1829) and the stilted acting style of Edwin Forrest, and the Pocahontas plays of the first half of the nineteenth century. They are sig- nificant because they opened up new possibilities for the development of satiric comedy in America2 and substantially contributed to the transformation of the stage picture of the Indian from the romantic pattern of Arcadian innocence to a view far more satirical, even ridiculous. 0026-3079/2007/4803-101$2.50/0 American Studies, 48:3 (Fall 2007): 101-123 101 102 Zoe Detsi-Diamanti

  • The Living Weapon Monday, June 8, 2009 on PBS Pbs.Org/Americanexperience
    The Living Weapon Monday, June 8, 2009 on PBS pbs.org/americanexperience You can't see it. You can't hear it. You can't smell it. Yet a biological weapon could decimate an entire city. On Monday, June 8, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents The Living Weapon, a harrowing tale of ambition, scientific discovery, and the lengths to which one man would go to protect his country. From producer John Rubin, this one-hour documentary offers an unprecedented look at more than two decades of closed-door meetings, secret test sites, determined scientists, and human subjects that attempted to turn some of the world's most potent germs into some of the world's most effective weapons. In 1942, the United States government, sanctioned by President Franklin Roosevelt, began a highly classified program to research and develop bioweapons - the first in a series of steps, motivated by fear of powerful enemies that brought the United States to a point of no return. "It was a turning point in the way America was willing to fight," says producer John Rubin. "Roosevelt's decision acknowledged the readiness to use a kind of weapon that military leaders had long shunned as dishonorable." "Today, perhaps more than ever, people are aware of what a biological attack could do to a city or a nation," says AMERICAN EXPERIENCE executive producer Mark Samels. "The program was, in many ways, a consequence of the mindset that scientific and medical advances could be turned on their heads to create massive destruction." CREDITS A John Rubin Productions, Inc. film for AMERICAN EXPERIENCE WRITTEN PRODUCED and DIRECTED BY John Rubin EDITED BY Jim Ohm CO-PRODUCED BY James Donald DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY Ian Kerr MUSIC BY Christopher Mangum NARRATED BY Liev Schreiber AMERICAN EXPERIENCE is a production of WGBH Boston Senior producer Sharon Grimberg Executive producer Mark Samels Exclusive corporate funding for AMERICAN EXPERIENCE is provided by Liberty Mutual.

The irony is, is that it’s been pretty much a complete circle for me, in that I started out here as a mascot for the college in—when I was three years old.

  • Learning the Languages of Nostalgia in Modern and Contemporary Literature
    Learning the Languages of Nostalgia in Modern and Contemporary Literature Tasha Marie Buttler A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Carolyn Allen, Chair Katherine Cummings Mark Patterson Program Authorized to Offer Degree: English University of Washington Abstract Learning the Languages of Nostalgia in Modern and Contemporary Literature Tasha M. Buttler Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor Carolyn Allen Department of English This dissertation builds upon recent discourses on nostalgia that focus on the generative potential of a sustained melancholic stance and position the past as resource for the future. My particular interest is in the potential for de-subjectification out of regulatory regimes, as outlined in the work of Judith Butler, particularly in The Psychic Life of Power. This text has allowed me to develop a robust theory about accumulated experiences of love and loss that are central to the formation of “character” that repeats or disrupts patterns of social relation. I differentiate between politicized nostalgia and experiential nostalgia, suggesting that the latter can make use of inevitable experiences of loss by initiating and sustaining a melancholic agency. I use various literary texts and memoirs to identify how the thwarting of melancholia can lead to nostalgia’s obverse: the desire to return suffering, or what Czech author Milan Kundera calls litost. These instances of thwarted grieving are positioned against a set of characters in the work of Virginia Woolf, Eva Hoffman, and Clarice Lispector who allow themselves to honor their experiential nostalgia rather than reverting to politicized nostalgia that repeats representations and clichés associated with empire.

Poetry and other creative efforts should be levers, weapons to be used in the people's struggle for understanding, human rights, and decency. "Art for Art's Sake" is a misnomer. The poet can never be neutral. In a hungry world the struggle between oppressor and oppressed is unending. There is the inevitable question: "Which side are you on?" To be content with as they are, to be "neutral," is to take sides with the oppressor who also wants to keep the status quo.

  • Dreams of the New Land
    When History Sleeps: A Beginning 13 DREAMS OF THE NEW LAND Africa I guard your memory Africa you are in me My future is your future Your wounds are my wounds The funky blues I cook are black like you—Africa Africa my motherland America my fatherland Although I did not choose it to be Africa you alone can make me free Africa where the rhinos roam Where I learned to swing Before America became my home Not like a monkey but in my soul Africa you are rich with natural gold Africa I live and study for thee And through you I shall be free Someday I’ll come back and see Land of my mothers, where a black god made me My Africa, your Africa, a free continent to be. Ted Joans, “Africa” 14 Freedom Dreams Schoolhouse Rock didn’t teach me a damn thing about “free- dom.” The kids like me growing up in Harlem during the 1960s and early 1970s heard that word in the streets; it rang in our ears with the regularity of a hit song. Everybody and their mama spoke of freedom, and what they meant usually defied the popular meanings of the day. Whereas most Americans associated free- dom with Western democracies at war against communism, free- market capitalism, or U.S. intervention in countries such as Viet- nam or the Dominican Republic, in our neighborhood “freedom” had no particular tie to U.S. nationality (with the pos- sible exception of the black-owned Freedom National Bank). Freedom was the goal our people were trying to achieve; free was a verb, an act, a wish, a militant demand.
