    Lift this section out! This year marks 25 years of Blues for Byron Bay. It’s like watching a child grow up – it’s hard to believe that someone you knew as a tiny baby could possibly be an adult in what seems like a blink of an eye. But that’s how it is for Bluesfest. I remember fondly the gigs at the Piggery (Arts Factory) dancing along to the Blind Boys from Alabama singing If I had a Hammer. Which I guess, now if it were to be contemporised might be something like If I had an Allen Key. I thought the Blind Boys were in their 80s then. They must be well into their 90s – maybe even 100 – by now, and still shining on. I guess it proves that gospel is better for longevity than botox or juice fasts. So in an economic landscape that sees the big festivals struggling, one wonders why a festival, in a regional location such as Byron Bay, seems to have established such longevity and such well recognised international standing. Perhaps it’s the town of Byron and the utopian mystique it still holds; perhaps it’s the nostalgia of seeing acts that we loved when we were 20, or the thrill of seeing acts that are breaking bad right now, the soul-stirring goosebump-producing thrill of authentic blues, or the feeling of hot sweaty bodies dancing beside you. Maybe it’s that there’s something gloriously adult to do at Easter when the kids are at home having their chocolate sugar rush.

  • Sleeping Everywhere: Narrating How People with Narcolepsy Navigate Everyday Life
    Sleeping Everywhere: Narrating How People with Narcolepsy Navigate Everyday Life A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Nicole C. Eugene August 2017 © 2017 Nicole C. Eugene. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Sleeping Everywhere: Narrating How People with Narcolepsy Navigate Everyday Life by NICOLE C. EUGENE has been approved for the School of Communication Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by William K. Rawlins Stocker Professor of Communication Studies Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract EUGENE, NICOLE C., Ph.D., August 2017, Communication Studies Sleeping Everywhere: Narrating How People with Narcolepsy Navigate Everyday Life Director of Dissertation: William K. Rawlins Research on narcolepsy tends to highlight negative features of the condition while not including the perspectives of people with narcolepsy. This dissertation sought to represent narcolepsy in a way that put the subjective experience of narcolepsy in conversation with the medical language about narcolepsy while collecting narratives of how people with narcolepsy navigate everyday life. A hidden disability like narcolepsy exists within contexts that may obscure apparent differences between individuals. An in situ approach to researching hidden disabilities considers the way physical and discursive contexts shape what is knowable about another person’s capacities. Narcolepsy causes people who have it to have difficulty in matching the spatiotemporal rhythms of society. Using the feminist disability studies concept of misfit and performance studies concepts about uncovering hidden meanings and evocative writing I designed a research project that included in-depth interviews with people who have narcolepsy, participant observation with a local narcolepsy support group and autoethnographic writing.
