  • Hemingway's Mixed Drinks: an Examination of the Varied Representation of Alcohol Across the Author's Canon
    OLIPHANT, ASHLEY YARBROUGH, Ph.D. Hemingway’s Mixed Drinks: An Examination of the Varied Representation of Alcohol Across the Author’s Canon. (2007) Directed by Dr. Scott Romine. 214 pp. The purpose of this research was to determine how alcohol functions in four main texts: The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, The Old Man and the Sea and In Our Time. Because of Ernest Hemingway’s self-perpetuated image as a literary celebrity, scholars have historically used his public persona (and their diagnoses of his perceived alcoholism and other medical conditions) to speculate about its impact on his work. This study establishes the importance of first addressing the textual evidence relating to Hemingway’s crafting of symbols, characters and plots before the biography of the author enters the critical conversation. The project defines and examines important terms relevant to Hemingway’s representation of alcohol, including “saturated” and “dry” fiction, “situational dryness,” “communal consumption” and “restorative drinking.” When applicable, Hemingway’s characters are viewed within the context of their Lost Generation existence to challenge the critical notion that the post-war experience for the author’s characters (particularly those who consume alcohol) is static from text to text. Hemingway’s drinkers are explored instead as individuals with varied impetuses for imbibing (whether in moderation or in excess), and his non- drinkers and occasional consumers are examined at length to provide a complete picture of the role of consumption across the four works. The data taken from these considerations leads to the conclusion that contrary to the critical consensus, Hemingway’s depiction of alcohol sometimes reverses the dichotomous relationships it has long been believed to support.

  • Clark 1 Half Moon She Held the Bay in Her Eyes, Green As the Sea, Looking
    Clark 1 Half Moon She held the bay in her eyes, green as the sea, looking at the waves of sparkling glass that moved across the Atlantic. At age thirty-nine, Amelia’s hair unfurled, like black seaweed in the autumn wind. Her skin turned brown in the sunset, her figure, a dark contrasting silhouette, letting in all of the remaining light, eclipsing her body. This scene was all for her, the ocean, the sand, the birds, everything. But soon, she would have to leave it behind. Amelia was on break from serving at the Ocean Palace, a restaurant and bar built on the docks overlooking the Kachemak Bay. From the outside, the business looked like a two-story shack with its crooked boards and peeling layers of white paint. Inside, the upstairs was filled with wooden tables covered in white dining cloth. The tables sat on a black carpet with white etches of dolphins, whales and various other sea life. An old chandelier hung from the ceiling, like a conglomeration of fishhooks reflecting light. The room was dim and had windows on three sides with the ocean and masts staring back in. Downstairs, the bar had a small stage where local musicians sometimes performed with a bucket for tourists to drop money in. The bar was like any other with its neon signs of various beers and hard alcohol. It had only two windows in the wall facing the ocean. Many of the sailors and fishermen passing through filled the air with smoke to mix in with the scent of fish guts and booze.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. “If she’s drunk, she’s easy”: Femininity, binge drinking and music videos A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Psychology At Massey University, Wellington, NZ Shobna Naomi 2014 i Abstract Young New Zealand women continue to drink more than previous generations. Research demonstrates that legislation, access, changing gender roles, identity, marketing and culture contribute to the current desire that many young people, including women, have for the excessive consumption of alcohol. The current study sought to explore popular youth culture, namely music videos, to understand the ways in which young women engage with and understand such media and the role it plays in drinking cultures. Three music videos were used to stimulate discussions surrounding gender, identity and alcohol consumption among four friendship groups, each containing three female participants. Participants were aged between 18-25 years and came from mixed ethnic backgrounds in Auckland, New Zealand. Three music videos were selected for their inclusion of portrayals of femininity and binge drinking (by Katy Perry, The Paradiso Girls and Cobra Starship). The music videos were shown to the groups, and questions prompted discussion following each. The discussions were transcribed verbatim, and subjected to a discursive analysis which identified four key discourses that participants drew on during their discussions.

  • GOOD, ADRIAN BRINTON, M.A. Investigating Relationships with Alcohol: the Construction of Meaning Through Narrative in Interview Situations
    GOOD, ADRIAN BRINTON, M.A. Investigating Relationships with Alcohol: The Construction of Meaning through Narrative in Interview Situations. (2013) Directed by Dr. Steve Kroll-Smith. 211 pp. Relationships between humans are comprised of many interwoven facets. So are relationships between humans and alcohol. This pilot research project attempts to conceptualize a few of the components that exist in the latter relationship and demonstrate an approach that may be used for additional investigation in the future. Ten male college students discussed their history with alcohol in an interview setting and, in doing so, described ways in which they developed relationships with the substance. Discussion of familial socialization focused on lessons centered on culture and/or moderation. Informants embedded discussion of the continued development of these relationships in discussion with components they considered to be important to their life stories. Much of the language used to put words around these relationships was divided into vernaculars of intent and vernaculars of strategy. These groupings allow for a rich understanding of different motivations that rest behind alcohol-related decisions and ways people categorize and understand different types of drinking behavior. Structuring the data in this manner creates an understanding of different alcohol-related desires and a variety of drinking styles that people use to achieve these ends. As alcohol can impact a situation in unpredictable ways, attempts to match strategy with intent may fail. Some of these strategies, such as alcoholic drinking, are not portrayed in a favorable manner. With this in mind, a struggle for control is embedded in the vernaculars of strategy.

  • 1. Learning to Drink: the Social History of an Idea
    1 Learning to drink: The social history of an idea The idea that you could teach people to drink sensibly has been around for decades. In the United States, this notion was of particular interest after the end of Prohibition in 1933,1 prompted by the challenge of encouraging moderation after years of binge drinking, criminal gangs selling illicit grog, adulterated drinks and speakeasies.2 One who rose to the challenge was American etiquette aficionado Alma Whitaker (1933: 2), who endeavoured to communicate to post-Prohibition drinkers what older, more experienced countries knew about the ‘precious creed’ of moderation. In her aptly titled book Bacchus behave! The lost art of polite drinking, she stressed the need to appreciate the sacred rituals of etiquette to experience the benefits of wines and spirits as social lubricants. In this way, we could learn to drink and, ‘properly fortified with instructive information, we may yet learn to carry our liquor like gentlemen. It’s deucedly messy when we don’t’ (2). Whitaker declared that the ‘right quantity imbibed under the right conditions affords a pleasant stimulation’, while people who became drunk revealed all their nastier 1 Prohibition (1920–33) was a political failure, but was positive in other ways. There is good evidence that there was less drinking and abuse than before World War I; the cirrhosis mortality rate dropped sharply then plateaued, as did the alcoholism mortality rate. There was a differential affect across social classes and across regions: while the law was flouted in the north and east (and in New Orleans), the working-class people of the south and west were largely dry (Cook 2007: 26).

This preoccupation with ‘binge’ drinking amplifies moral panics surrounding youth alcohol consumption whereby consideration of the social and cultural nuances of pleasure that give meaning to young people’s excessive drinking practices and values has been given little priority. This sociological study explores how young drinkers regulate their drinking practices through levels of agency which is informed by values linked to the pursuit of pleasurable intoxication alongside friendship groups in a variety of drinking settings.
