Martha Kenney; Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Women and Gender Studies Professor, History FIGHTING, HACKING, AND STALKING: TOXIC MASCULINITY AND THE REVOLUTIONARY ANTI-HERO Robyn Michelle Ollodort San Francisco, California 2017 Through my analyses of the films Taxi Driver (1976) and Fight Club (1999), and the television series Mr. Robot (2105), I will unpack the ways each text represents masculinity and mental illness through the trope of revolutionary psychosis, the ways these representations reflect contemporaneous political and social anxieties, and how critical analyses of each text can account for the ways that this trope fails to accurately represent the lived experiences of men and those with mental illnesses. In recognizing the harmful nature of each of these representations’ depictions of both masculinity and mental illness, we can understand why such bad tropes circulate, and how to recognize and refuse them, or make them better.

  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency Is Hard
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 241 – Consistency is Hard As many of probably noticed, we have been posting late and sporadically for the last month. This was, obviously, not our intention, but with the second semester eating into my free time, staying up to date is a tall order. Even without the newsletter itself seeing weekly publication the site has still remained up to date on a weekly basis, thanks primarily to co-author Ben Carass, as well as guest writers Paul Cooke and Leslie Lee III. But, the newsletter has survived for well over 241 weeks, and will hopefully thrive in the years to come. I have attempted to make provisions for publishing related tasks which should minimize the risk of major delays (obviously there will be some regular delays, as this late issue can attest), but we have some fail safes in place in order to keep this to a minimum. With all of this said, we have a great issue for everyone this week with Paul Cooke discussing the Pro-Wrestling Only Greatest Wrestler Ever project and his personal experience with the poll, Ben covers the news including tons of results from Japan and the Lesnar USADA violation, the Mixed Bag returns with a look at comedy wrestling, Ricochet/Ospreay, and a potential WWE match of the year -- plus Ben also looks at last Sunday's Battleground show and the first RAW of the brand split (a very good show). Also, for those unaware, we now have an official Twitter account @CubedCircleWres allowing the banger to unprecedented highs at @BenCarass and @RyanClingman.

    Eric Brighteyes H. Rider Haggard Eric Brighteyes Table of Contents Eric Brighteyes..........................................................................................................................................................1 H. Rider Haggard...........................................................................................................................................1 i Eric Brighteyes H. Rider Haggard DEDICATION Madam, You have graciously conveyed to me the intelligence that during the weary weeks spent far from his home−−in alternate hope and fear, in suffering and mortal trial−−a Prince whose memory all men must reverence, the Emperor Frederick, found pleasure in the reading of my stories: that "they interested and fascinated him." While the world was watching daily at the bedside of your Majesty's Imperial husband, while many were endeavouring to learn courage in our supremest need from the spectacle of that heroic patience, a distant writer little knew that it had been his fortune to bring to such a sufferer an hour's forgetfulness of sorrow and pain. This knowledge, to an author, is far dearer than any praise, and it is in gratitude that, with your Majesty's permission, I venture to dedicate to you the tale of Eric Brighteyes. The late Emperor, at heart a lover of peace, though by duty a soldier of soldiers, might perhaps have cared to interest himself in a warrior of long ago, a hero of our Northern stock, whose days were spent in strife, and whose latest desire was Rest. But it may not be; like the Golden Eric of this Saga, and after a nobler fashion, he has passed through the Hundred Gates into the Valhalla of Renown. To you, then, Madam, I dedicate this book, a token, however slight and unworthy, of profound respect and sympathy.

  • Reading for Fictional Worlds in Literature and Film
    Reading for Fictional Worlds in Literature and Film Danielle Simard Doctor of Philosophy University of York English and Related Literature March, 2020 2 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to establish a critical methodology which reads for fictional worlds in literature and film. Close readings of literary and cinematic texts are presented in support of the proposition that the fictional world is, and arguably should be, central to the critical process. These readings demonstrate how fictional world-centric readings challenge the conclusions generated by approaches which prioritise the author, the reader and the viewer. I establish a definition of independent fictional worlds, and show how characters rather than narrative are the means by which readers access the fictional world in order to analyse it. This interdisciplinary project engages predominantly with theoretical and critical work on literature and film to consider four distinct groups of contemporary novels and films. These texts demand readings that pose potential problems for my approach, and therefore test the scope and viability of my thesis. I evaluate character and narrative through Fight Club (novel, Chuck Palahniuk [1996] film, David Fincher [1999]); genre, context, and intertextuality in Solaris (novel, Stanisław Lem [1961] film, Andrei Tarkovsky [1974] film, Steven Soderbergh [2002]); mythic thinking and character’s authority with American Gods (novel, Neil Gaiman [2001]) and Anansi Boys (novel, Neil Gaiman [2005]); and temporality and nationality in Cronos (film, Guillermo

  • Dissociative Identity Disorder in Film Madison Verhulst with Dr
    ABSTRACT “Psycho,” “Fight Club,” and “Split:” Dissociative Identity Disorder in Film Madison Verhulst with Dr. Michael Brown Communication University of Wyoming Oral Presentation Honors Program Sidney, NE Dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder, has been portrayed in many films over the decades. Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states that recurrently take control of the individual’s behavior, accompanied by the inability to recall important personal information that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness (American Psychiatric Association, 2000, p. 519). This disorder draws attention in entertainment because of its rarity, complexity, and potential danger. Films have sometimes demonstrated the disorder incorrectly, receiving criticism from psychologists, while others have shown its true characteristics. This project will first, explain DID and second, examine three American films that have incorporated dissociative identity disorder in their stories. I will look at Psycho (1960), Fight Club (1999), and Split (2016). These films are from different decades of America and will have different social and cultural influences that affect the way the disease is portrayed. I will explain how the films accurately and inaccurately depicted the disorder, leading to the conclusion that there are many different ways to incorporate DID in film and that only some are correct. Psycho, Fight Club, and Split: Dissociative Identity Disorder in Film By: Madison Verhulst Dissociative identity disorder (DID), also known as multiple personality disorder, has been used as a literary plot device for centuries. Less recently in literature, more recently in film.

(SLIDE 1) Many of us have read and taught Flannery O’Connor’s “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” which ends with a punchy final line. The murderous Misfit, who has just shot and killed the grandmother, says of her that: “She would of been a good woman if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.” This line conflates morality, the threat of death, and behavior, implicating the Grandmother’s hypocrisy and renewed religiosity at the end of the story.

  • Book Review of Fight Club Written by Chuck Palahniuk
    Book Review of Fight Club Written By Chuck Palahniuk Adityo Widhi Nugroho – 13020112130050 Fakultas Ilmu Budaya Diponegoro University 1. INTRODUCTION The writer intends to review Fight Club written by Chuck Palahniuk. The novel is one of the examples of literary nonfiction. Published in 1996 by W.W Norton, this novel became top selling novel according to Baltimore Sun. Fight Club, written by Chuck Palahniuk has been adapted into a movie, a prequel novel and a comic book sequel. According to The Baltimore Sun this novel is very controversial because of the anarchism and anti-consumerism behaviour done by the characters of the novel. The Baltimore Sun also writes “bravo to Norton for having the courage to publish it” (Hoffert 4). Furthermore violence also appeared in this novel as there are a lot of fight and other form of physical violence. The main purpose of this writing is to review Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. The writer will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this novel . The writer decided to choose Fight Club as final project because it is his favorite novel. Fight Club is a very interesting novel although it is hard to understand and disturbing because by showing the consumerism behaviour in this novel, Chuck Palahniuk tries to convey the message that the consumerism behaviour of society nowadays has become worse than ever. 2. SUMMARY OF FIGHT CLUB The center story of Fight Club revolves around the life of an anonymous narrator, a typical American hard working man. Because of the stress caused by his job and tiresome business trips, he suffers insomnia.
