Pratt Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Michael Brandon Rigby iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Michael Brandon Rigby Doctor of Philosophy Department of Romance Languages June 2017 Title: Interliminal Tongues: Self-translation in Contemporary Transatlantic Bilingual Poetry In this dissertation, I argue that self-translators embody a borderline sense of hybridity, both linguistically and culturally, and that the act of translation, along with its innate in-betweenness, is the context in which self-translators negotiate their fragmented identities and cultures. I use the poetry of Urayoán Noel, Juan Gelman, and Yolanda Castaño to demonstrate that they each uniquely use the process of self- translation, in conjunction with a bilingual presentation, to articulate their modern, hybrid identities. In addition, I argue that as a result, the act of self-translation establishes an interliminal space of enunciation that not only reflects an intercultural exchange consistent with hybridity, but fosters further cultural and linguistic interaction.

  • My Geeky Sister Saves the Day
    Chapter 1 Bonnie is an alien Sometimes I think my sister Bonnie is an alien. That the real Bonnie must have been abducted and a copy left in her place. It’s not that Bonnie looks like an alien. There’s none of the two-heads, or three-eyes or tentacles-instead-of-armsSample thingpages going on. Bonnie looks pretty normal, for an older sister: long brown hair, brown eyes, that sort of thing. In fact, she looks a lot like the rest of us, Mum, Dad, my older brother Elliot and me – I’m Xander – because we’ve all got brown hair and brown eyes, too. 5 M01_EP06_REA_7592_FC4_finalpp.indd 5 6/12/13 10:35 AM My Geeky Sister Saves the Day No, it’s not how Bonnie looks that makes her totally different from the rest of us. It’s what she’s interested in. The rest of us are musos. Mum and Dad are folkies, they play fiddle and bodhran and flute in a group with some other people. They call themselves Paddy’s Pigs, so you can guess what they play. That’s right, Irish music. They hang out at a folk club in town, with other folkies with weird names, like Blokes in Skirts (that’s two guys who play bagpipes), and The Tiddly Poms (English folk music), and Ned and the Kellys (Australian folk music), and The Awkward Orchestra (that’s when they all play together). My brotherSample Elliot’s 15, pagesand he’s into electronic music. He’s put together his own DJ equipment, and he’s mixing and scratching away half the night.

  • Speaking in Two Tongues: an Ethnographic Investigation of the Literacy Practices of English As a Foreign Language and Cambodian Young Adult Learners’ Identity
    Speaking in Two Tongues: An Ethnographic Investigation of the Literacy Practices of English as a Foreign Language and Cambodian Young Adult Learners’ Identity Soth Sok Student Number: 3829801 College of Education, Victoria University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education February 2014 Speaking in Two Tongues: An ethnographic investigation of the literacy practices of English as a foreign language and Cambodian young adult learners’ identity Abstract This study focuses on how the literacy practices in English of young Cambodians shaped their individual and social perception as well as performance of identity. It examines the English language as an increasingly dominant cultural and linguistic presence in Cambodia and endeavours to fill the epistemic gap in what Gee (2008, p. 1) has identified as the ‘other stuff’ of language. This other stuff includes ‘social relations, cultural models, power and politics, perspectives on experience, values and attitudes, as well as things and places in the world’ that are introduced to the local culture through English literacy and practices. Merchant and Carrington (2009, p. 63) have suggested that ‘the very process of becoming literate involves taking up new positions and becoming a different sort of person’. Drawing on the life stories of five participants and my own-lived experiences, the investigation is in part auto-ethnographical. It considers how reading and writing behaviours in English became the ‘constitutive’ components of ‘identity and personhood’ (Street 1994, p. 40). I utilised semi-structured life history interviews with young adult Cambodian participants, who spoke about how their individual and social performance of identity was influenced by their participation in English literacy practices and events in Cambodia.

  • Smorgle Saves the Day: an Alien Adventure in Zion National Park
    Smorgle Saves the Day An Alien Adventure in Zion National Park By Margaret Dilloway Margaret Dilloway Short story for Zion Grades 4 & Up 2 Smorgle scanned the virtual logbook again, the symbols floating in the air, blowing air through his beak, to turn the pages. Nope, nope, nope. The log was just plain missing. He fought down the rising panic in his throat. Where on earth had he put the Plasmic Irradiator? Well, that wasn’t exactly right. He knew where on earth it was. The problem was when it was. He flipped back to the beginning. Maybe he’d missed it. Maybe the search feature on this thing was faulty. He’d meant to write it down—but it was nowhere to be seen. The Plasmic Irradiator—the PI—was just a little bit important for their survival. It was a cube they placed carefully in the earth’s rocks, to soak up the gases that the rocks emitted, which they then used to power their spacecraft. It needed to be replaced every five years. Without it, the ship wouldn’t run. This meant they’d have to return home ahead of schedule. Which meant that his parents wouldn’t be able to complete their scientific mission on Jupiter, measuring all of the solar storms as part of the Galactic Meteorological Project. Which meant that Smorgle would get sent away to Intergalactic Finishing Academy for the Unfocused. That’s where all the children who were disappointments to their parents were sent, to let them become someone else’s headache for a while.

    ARTS DEVO by Jason Cassidy • [email protected] Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe, we shall overcome, some day MLK FOR MORE THAN A DAY Chico Performances is putting the history in Black History Month. One of most respected bandleaders/musicians in the country, damien sneed, will conduct a choir and band for a program titled We shall over- come: a Celebration of dr. Martin Luther King J r. , Saturday (Feb. 22), at Laxson auditorium. The show is billed as “a living lineage of music and culture” that will “showcase a repertoire from across the African-American music traditions that electrified generations of civil rights activists and defenders with interwo- ven spoken word from Dr. King’s recorded speeches.” The prodution is part of a tour to coincide with the release of Sneed and company’s We Shall Overcome compilation Damien Sneed of songs across many genres—jazz, gospel, classical, Broadway tunes, pop—that are featured in the show (check the groovy rendition of simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”). HITTING THE MARKS Congrats to Chico High school theater students for picking up awards at the Junior Theater Festival in Sacramento earlier this month (Feb. 7-9). A press release for the event announced that the Chico High group brought “fantastic energy, specific and honest storytelling, and fun choreography” to its performance of Legally Blonde The Musical JR., winning the Excellence in Acting award, while student Brenna Murray took home Outstanding Performance by an Individual Performer. And though cheerleading isn’t normally on my radar, I want to give a shout out to the crosstown Pleasant Valley High squads for getting second place in both a national varsity competition in Orlando, Fla.
