This is an interview with Keith Wauchope. This is done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training and I(m Charles Stuart Kennedy. Keith, let(s start )ind of at the beginning. Could you tell me when and where you were born* WAUCHOP,I 0 was born at Manhattan Hospital in New York City on October 13, 1941. My parents actually lived out on the south shore of 6ong 0sland at the time Q: O)ay, tell me a bit about, first of all on your father(s side, sort of where the family came from and your father,s education and what he was doing. WAUCHOP,I Okay, well, my fatherFs father came to the United States in the early 1880s. He was a young man in County Cavan, 0reland and was sent by his father down to Trinity College Dublin to study for the ministry, the Presbyterian ministry. He and his older brother Jack, who was also studying at Trinity, decided they didnFt want to become ministers, so they Huite literally ran away to sea. He and his brother first went off to Australia and this trade between the U1, between ,ngland and Australia. After several voyages in the 1880s my grandfather jumped ship and joined the Australian army. 0 was told and that he stayed in Australia for only about six months or so, and then deserted the army and signed onto another ship to Peru. He joined the Peruvian navy and stayed with them for a while. He earned a naval rating, and then he deserted the Peruvian navy and caught a ship to San Francisco. He came ashore in San Francisco and joined the U.S. avy. Q: About when was this* WAUCHOP,I He would have come to the United States in the early 1880s, 0 guess. Having joined the United States navy, he became very intrigued with American democracy and political issues. He ended up being the librarian at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Since he never had a college education, he started to educate himself through reading the books in the library. He became persuaded that socialism was the most rational system, so he became a socialist. When he got out of the navy he joined the 5 American Socialist Party and he became a journalist for the socialist party, eventually the editor of the New York Call. Prior to that, he worked for socialist publications in Chicago, ,rie, Pennsylvania and eventually in New York. The New York Call was an influential socialist newspaper in New York and because of his stature as the editor and because of his oratorical skills/ in 1910 the socialists made him their candidate for mayor of New York on the socialist ticket. 0 believe that it was at that time he changed his name to Wanhope, W3A3 3H3O3P3, so as to be easier to pronounce for his supporters. 0n 1912 he was the socialist candidate for governor of New York. He was soundly defeated both times, needless to say. Then in 1918 when the United States entered World War 0, ,ugene Debs, the leader of the American Socialist Party denounced the war as a creature of the Dmalefactors of great wealthE and called upon all socialists to refuse to participate. My grandfather said that this position was wrong. He believed that if the Socialist Party worked against the United States participation in the First World War, that the party would in fact be destroyed because the war was a popular cause. As a result, my grandfather was run out of the party. ,ugene Debs went to prison and my grandfather lost his job as editor, and, unable to find other jobs in journalism, he went back to sea. 0 guess he remained at sea until the late K20s or early K30s when he finally was able to retire. As my fatherFs family never had much money since my grandfather never made more than L25 per week as a newspaper editor, my father ended up going to the New York School Ship, which was the merchant marine academy for the State of New York at that time. 0t was a two3year course and he received a certificate to sit for the third mateFs exam. You had to be 21 to get your certificate as a third mate, which he eventually did. 0n any event he went on and became a second mate, first mate and in seven years he made a captain. He was a captain for seven years aboard the Farrell 6ines ships 3 well, it was then the American South African 6ines 3 and then it later became the Farrell 6ines. 0ts principal business was with Africa, southern Africa. My father came ashore and married in 1935. He was made the port captain for the company. He met my mother when he was Captain of the S.S. City of New York, a small passenger liner. He had the chief steward make sure that all the attractive, single ladies aboard this flagship vessel were seated at the captainFs table and hence he met my mother. WeFll talk a little bit about her later. When the U.S. joined the Second World War, he was called to active duty despite being the father of three children. He had a naval reserve commission as a result of his training at the merchant marine academy. He was brought in as a lieutenant commander and then promoted to commander and captain. He was made the commanding officer of Sheepshead Bay Naval Training Facility in Brooklyn, New York. He worked in that position for about 18 months. He ran afoul of the left3leaning, in some cases communist, labor unions. At their reHuest he was removed, but as he had always wanted a sea command. He commanded an attack transport in the Pacific for a period of about two and a half years and participated in 21 amphibious operations. After VJ Day, he returned to the United States where he rejoined the Farrell 6ines. He had opened up its east African trade just before the war, and after the war he was sent out to open its West African trade. He was made the executive vice president and eventually in the 19.0s, the president of the company. 0t was that African connection that got me interested in that region of the . world because in 1959 and again in 19.0 0 took cruises as a deck cadet aboard the Farrell 6ine ships. The first voyage was to South Africa and the second to West Africa, and 0 think that sort of gave me a flavor of that part of the world. Q: -our mother(s bac)ground* WAUCHOP,I Yes. Well, she was from Baltimore by origin and her father was an 0rish immigrant as well.

  • Losing Your Internet: Narratives of Decline Among Long- Time Users
    CHAPTER THREE Losing Your Internet: Narratives of Decline among Long- Time Users KEVIN DRISCOLL Annette Markham’s Life Online (1998) documents an historical conjuncture in which the visibility of the Internet in popular culture outpaced hands-on access for most Americans. At the time that Markham was completing her fieldwork, approximately one-third of Americans reported using the Internet, most of whom were white, wealthy, highly educated, and male (Rainie, 2017). Yet, for half a decade, news and entertainment media had been saturated with stories of the Internet as a technical marvel, economic opportunity, social revolution, and moral threat (Schulte, 2013; Streeter, 2017). Every few months, the cover of Time magazine added a new dimension to the Internet story, from the “info highway” in 1993, to the “cyberporn” panic in 1995, dot-com “golden geeks” in 1996, and the “death of privacy” in 1997. Beyond these sensational headlines, friends and coworkers gos- siped about relationships and romances forming online. Early users of the Internet were similarly enthusiastic and many shared a sense that computer-mediated com- munication might transform the social world. Even Markham described her initial observations of the internet and its growing user population as “astounding” and “extraordinary” (1998, pp. 16–17). At the turn of the century, the Internet seemed charged with unknown possibility. Twenty years later, the structure of feeling that characterized early encoun- ters with the Internet has changed. For millions of people, computer-mediated communication is now an unremarkable aspect of everyday life. In comparison to the fantastical multi-user environments that Markham described in 1998, typical uses of the internet in 2017 seem quite dull: reading the news, solving a crossword 26 | KEVIN DRISCOLL puzzle, shopping for household goods, or arranging meetings with coworkers.

    ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry © 2019 By Ora Charles McWilliams Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Henry Bial Germaine Halegoua Joo Ok Kim Date Defended: 10 May, 2019 ii The dissertation committee for Ora Charles McWilliams certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ‘Yes, But What Have You Done for Me Lately?’: Intersections of Intellectual Property, Work-for-Hire, and The Struggle of the Creative Precariat in the American Comic Book Industry Co-Chair: Ben Chappell Co-Chair: Elizabeth Esch Date Approved: 24 May 2019 iii Abstract The comic book industry has significant challenges with intellectual property rights. Comic books have rarely been treated as a serious art form or cultural phenomenon. It used to be that creating a comic book would be considered shameful or something done only as side work. Beginning in the 1990s, some comic creators were able to leverage enough cultural capital to influence more media. In the post-9/11 world, generic elements of superheroes began to resonate with audiences; superheroes fight against injustices and are able to confront the evils in today’s America. This has created a billion dollar, Oscar-award-winning industry of superhero movies, as well as allowed created comic book careers for artists and writers.

McDermott Introduction By the mid-1970’s, many fans of the “Golden Age” of comic books had grown up to become writers and ultimately editors for the comics publishers, sometimes setting the nar- rative histories for their favorite childhood characters themselves. ​Many of these fans-turned- pro produced comics series that attempted to recapture the Golden Age’s excitement, patriotic fervor and whiz-bang attitude. ​The most successful of these titles were produced by Roy Thomas, who fashioned a coherent history of costumed heroes during World War II, and rec- onciled the wildly inconsistent stories of the 1940’s with tightly patrolled continuity initiated with the “Silver Age” of the 1960’s. ​With The Invaders (1975-1979), Thomas focused on the hitherto unrevealed wartime exploits of Marvel Comics’ early mainstays Captain America, the Human Torch, and Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner. ​In 1980, he moved to DC Comics and launched All-Star Squadron, which juggled the histories of the Justice Society of Amer- ica and nearly a hundred secondary characters.

  • Superhero Comics: Artifacts of the U.S. Experience Dr
    Superhero Comics: Artifacts of the U.S. Experience Dr. Julian C. Chambliss Sequential SmArt: A Conference on Teaching with Comics, May 19, 2012 Julian Chambliss is Associate Professor of History at Rollins College. n the last two decades, comic books and comic book heroes have experienced increased scholarly I interest. This attention has approached comic books and characters as myth, sought context of the superhero archetype, and used comic books as cultural markers for postwar America. What all of these efforts share is an acknowledgement that comic books and superheroes offer a distinct means to understand U. S. culture.1 The place of comic books in contemporary discussion of the American experience has been seen as space linked to popular culture. The comic book genre, especially its most popular aspect, the superhero, uses visual cues to reduce individual characters into representations of cultural ideas. This process has allowed characters to become powerful representations of nationalism (Superman), or the search for societal stability (Batman), or struggles over femininity (Wonder Woman). Scholars have established the importance of heroic characterization as a means to inform societal members about collective expectations and behavioral ideas.2 In many ways, the use of comics in the classroom has become standardized over the last few years as teachers have discovered the medium’s ability to engage students. Indeed, academic conferences like this one have grown in number as scholars have rediscovered what we all know: kids who read comics tend to go on and read other material.3 Perhaps the most visible and lauded use of comics is in the History classroom, following the pattern established with the successful integration of comics focused on war and politics, found notably in Maus by Art Spiegelman and, more recently, in Alan’s War: The Memories of G.I.
