Voters in this state wrote “No Dams” on their ballot paper as part of a campaign to block the construction of the Franklin Dam. The flooding of this state’s Lake Pedder led to the formation of a “United Group” named for this state that became the world’s first green party. George Augustus Robinson arrived in this colony to “conciliate” a conflict between colonists and an indigenous group whose last surviving member was Truganini. This colony’s governor George Arthur ordered the formation of a human cordon to round up its indigenous inhabitants. John Howard instituted a mandatory buyback policy on long guns after 35 people died in this state’s Port Arthur Massacre. For 10 points, the Black War exterminated the aboriginal inhabitants of what Australian island? ANSWER: Tasmania <European History> 2. Schlenk and Brauns name a group of these molecules that exist as biradicals and are paramagnetic with a triplet ground state. The F number is correlated to the log of the retention factor in chromatography of these molecules. Clar’s rule is used to determine the most stable forms of these molecules. A process in which these molecules are broken down uses a system consisting of an alumina matrix, a silica binder, a kaolin filler, and a zeolite catalyst; that process is fluid catalytic cracking. -

While autobiographical comics may seem like an odd crib sheet to use to learn about the human condition, their confessional style provides readers like me with the answers to the questions we dare not ask. I equate reading an autobiographical comic with the occurrence of a stranger handing you his diary, staring meaningfully into your eyes and saying, “I want you to read this… all of it. Oh, and just so you know, I drew pictures of everything that happened, too.” I first became interested in autobiographical comics and graphic novels after reading some of Jeffrey Brown’s comics in 2005. There was something about his loose, sketchbook-style illustrations that made his work accessible to a newly minted comics fan such as myself. There were no superpowers, no buxom women and no maniacal villains in his comics… just real stories. Right when I was on the brink of exhausting Brown’s catalogue, Peter Birkemoe, the co-owner of The Beguiling1, suggested that I expand my interests. When he rang up my latest purchase, he said, “If you like this stuff, you should try reading some John Porcellino.” I promptly swept up Porcellino’s King-Cat Classix: The Best of King-Cat Comics and Stories and I soon discovered other autobiographical cartoonists including Chester Brown, Joe Matt, Lucy Knisley and Harvey Pekar. -

Personal Narratives and Public Trauma in Post-Katrina New Orleans
“They probably got us all on the news”: Personal Narratives and Public Trauma in Post-Katrina New Orleans DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Katherine Greene Parker Horigan Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Professor Amy Shuman, Advisor Professor Ray Cashman Professor Wendy Hesford Professor Maurice Stevens Copyright by Katherine Greene Parker Horigan 2013 Abstract Although stories and images of suffering during Hurricane Katrina saturated public discourse in 2005, the fundamental failures of communication that characterize this catastrophe remain undertheorized—especially the ease with which some stories have been accepted and others ignored. My dissertation brings together representations of the storm’s darkest moments, narrated by eyewitnesses, then shared in a broad spectrum of genres and rhetorical situations. Examining contexts of production, circulation, and reception, I demonstrate that the ways in which survivors’ personal stories are shared with larger audiences can either confirm or confound stereotypical representations of the narrators’ communities, with material consequences for their immediate aid and ongoing recovery. The approaches that drive my analysis include ethnography of communication and narrative performance, critical discourse analysis, rhetorical analysis of life writing, critical race theory, and critical theories of trauma. This project examines Katrina in a new light, focusing on the representational tactics of survivors and the processes by which their narratives are recognized or rejected. Beyond that, this study contributes to current theoretical understandings about how different communicative contexts and rhetorical situations shape the knowledge that is created about trauma and recovery. -

A Prisoner's Conviction: Time, Space, and Morality in W.F. Hermans's The
A Prisoner’s Conviction: Time, Space, and Morality in W.F. Hermans’s The Darkroom of Damocles and Harry Mulisch’s The Assault Marc VAN ZOGGEL Huygens Instituut voor Nederlandse Geschiedenis Introduction: Time, Space, and the Prison Narrative In his landmark essay “Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel” (1938-1939), Russian literary critic Mikhail Bakhtin coined the concept of the ‘chronotope’ (literally, ‘time space’) in order to capture “the intrinsic connectedness of temporal and spatial relationships that are artistically expressed in literature” (Bakhtin 84). The chronotope, in other words, serves to describe the transformation of the physical notions of time and space into the artistic, i.e. literary categories of form and substance: In the literary artistic chronotope, spatial and temporal indicators are fused into one carefully thought-out, concrete whole. Time, as it were, thickens, takes on flesh, becomes artistically visible; likewise, space becomes charged and responsive to the movements of time, plot and history. This intersection of axes and fusion of indicators characterizes the artistic chronotope. (ibid.) Bakhtin envisages the chronotope as a central concept in what he calls the discipline of ‘historical poetics’. For example, in his discussion of ancient Greek romances – semi- historical adventure stories – Bakhtin shows how prison scenes are instrumental in the deceleration and freezing of plot movement: “Captivity and prison presume guarding and isolating the hero in a definite spot in space, impeding his subsequent spatial movement toward his goal, that is, his subsequent pursuits and searches and so forth” (Bakhtin 99; italics in original). The prison thus plays a vital role in the semi-fictional biographies presented in these stories. -

Willem Frederik Hermans Het Behouden Huis (1951)
Willem Frederik Hermans (1921-1995) Het behouden huis (1951) Vragen en opdrachten Inhoud Willem Frederik Hermans (1921-1995) 3 Het behouden huis (1951) 5 De Grote Drie (Hermans, Reve en Mulisch) 7 Vragen en opdrachten 10 Verder lezen 13 Bronnen 14 2 Willem Frederik Hermans (1921-1995) Willem Frederik Hermans werd in 1921 geboren in Amsterdam in een onderwijzersgezin. Aan het begin van de oorlog pleegde zijn zus zelfmoord; dat was een grote schok voor Hermans. Na het afronden van het gymnasium ging hij fysische geografie studeren. Hij promoveerde cum laude in 1955 en werkte tot 1973 aan de universiteit van Groningen. Daarna ging hij in Parijs en later nog in Brussel wonen. Hermans schreef romans, verhalen, gedichten, toneelstukken en essays. Zijn bekendste boeken zijn De donkere kamer van Damokles (1958) en Nooit meer slapen (1966). In 1947 verscheen zijn debuutroman De tranen der acacia’s en vele lezers vonden het een schokkend boek. In de personages van dit boek zag men een door de oorlog getekende generatie zonder hoop, geloof en idealen. De hoofdpersonen bedriegen elkaar, zijn wanhopig en hebben geen grenzen in hun seksuele omgang. Bovendien liet Hermans in het boek zien dat het Nederlands verzet tegen de Duitsers niet altijd even heldhaftig was. De personages in de wereld van Hermans proberen greep te krijgen op de wereld, maar dat is altijd tevergeefs. Uiteindelijk zijn ze gedesillusioneerd, ontgoocheld. Hermans noemt zichzelf ook ‘misantroop’ (iemand die mensen haat) en hij komt ook in interviews erg cynisch over. Hermans stond wel bekend als de meest gevreesde schrijver van Nederland, als de kwelgeest van de literatuur.
