Disrupting Class: Changing Pedagogical Landscapes in the Writing Classroom Room 2A, Washington State Convention Center, Level 2 ( Kate Guthrie Caruso, Andrea Spofford, Cole Cohen, Johnny Jones, Kristin Cerda) This panel focuses on the ways teachers can challenge and disrupt pedagogical landscapes. By employing a variety of mediums including social media, video games, and boundary-crossing genres like prose poetry and graphic novels, we create a hybrid approach to teaching writing that distills and translates the classroom experience into out-of-classroom reality. Featuring five teachers of writing (creative, performance, composition, and community), this panel presents resources for disrupting class. R111. It's Funny Because It's True Room 3A, Washington State Convention Center, Level 3 (Brangien Davis, Nicole Hardy, Suzanne Morrison, Lauren Weedman, Claire Dederer) Mark Twain said humor is the great thing, the saving thing. In memoir as in life, it makes our tragedies bearable, shareable, and unifying. The well-timed joke saves the first person singular from its inevitable inward turn, exorcises the overly-earnest, and compels readers to let down their defenses just enough to feel the full force of a punch. This panel takes on yoga, sex, faith, and the perils of youth with an eye to the art of crafting humorous scenes. R126.

  • Prejudice of the Past and Its Projection Into the Present in David
    1. Introduction The history of people of Japanese descent in America is not exactly roses all the way. This minority, one of the America‟s most significant, had to endure many hardships ever since the first of its members entered the United States‟ soil almost two centuries ago. They had long been, as probably any other minority, subject to a wide range of display of racism. Nevertheless, in their case the situation went even further, and one could claim that it was far beyond the frontiers of rationality and humanity, when more than 100,000 members of Japanese community were incarcerated in internment camps and were kept there for three long years of 1942-1945, following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Although comparatively many scholars pursued particular points of the Japanese experience connected primarily with the World War II, the issue of prejudice displayed toward the Japanese and of the internment has, until recent decades, never been mentioned much in fiction. Some of the approaches to the recreation or conservation of this experience in literature are presented in this thesis. The main objective of this work is to prove that the charges brought against one of the key characters, Kabuo Miyamoto, and the following trial which he was put to, were based on racial bias towards people of Japanese origin in general, which they were experiencing ever since their ancestors arrived in America. The story of the novel focuses on a community on a small fictional island in the Pacific Northwest, and its members‟ relationships. As the plot progresses, it becomes clear that the old events which occurred prior to and during the World War II, and sentiments of contempt, distrust and prejudice towards the Japanese minority that accopanied these events, are still alive and project themselves into the circumstances present.

  • Reading Snow Falling on Cedars As a Historical (Crime) Novel
    Magne Dypedahl Reading Snow Falling on Cedars as a Historical (Crime) Novel Introduction “The accused man, Kabuo Miyamoto, sat proudly upright with a rigid grace, his palms placed softly on the defendant’s table – the posture of a man who has detached himself insofar as this is possible at his own trial.”1 These are the opening lines of David Guterson’s novel Snow Falling on Cedars, published in 1995. The setting is a fictional island in the Puget Sound outside Seattle, Washington, in 1954. The trial is about to begin. Kabuo Miyamoto, an American fisherman of Japanese descent, has already been exiled in the county jail for seventy-seven days, or the entire fall. He is charged with the murder of another fisherman, Carl Heine, an American of German descent. In this article I will attempt to view the novel as a historical novel. Al- though Snow Falling on Cedars primarily portrays individual destiny and life on San Piedro Island, the novel also gives insight into aspects of American culture in the 1940s and 1950s. Regardless of how the novel is read or analyzed, however, the alleged crime remains a central element of the plot and the structure of the novel. I will therefore start by comparing the structure of the novel with typical crime story formulas. 1 David Guterson: Snow Falling on Cedars. New York: 1995, 3. Hereafter referred to as SFoC. 1 The Formula of the Classical Crime Story In an interview Guterson has referred to Anton Checkhov and Jane Austen as models of style and structure.2 The influence of these writers on Guter- son is quite evident, but when it comes to his way of structuring Snow Fal- ling on Cedars and creating suspense, I would also argue that he writes in accordance with the conventions of the classical detective story.

By Steve Miletich Seattle Times staff reporter Murray Guterson was the type of attorney who preferred long, yellow legal pads and 3-by-5 index cards. The closest he came to accepting technology was a primitive Dictaphone. Old school and old Seattle, his favorite fictional character emerged during the era Mr. Guterson began to make his name in the law — Atticus Finch, the moral hero and model of lawyerly integrity in the 1960 novel “To Kill a Mockingbird.” “Murray Guterson was a real-life Atticus Finch, the archetypal dedicated criminal defense attorney who remained at all times a consummate gentleman,” said King County Superior Court Judge William Downing. “He embodied professional integrity and his word was his bond. It was with nothing short of reverence that all of us young lawyers in the 1970s and ’80s viewed him. That hasn’t changed.” Mr. Guterson, one of Seattle’s most distinguished and beloved criminal defense attorneys, died Friday at 83, surrounded by his family, after a battle with Alzheimer’s. “He was a giant; he really was,” said Seattle attorney Pete Vial, who in 1975 went to work for Mr.
