Adams, Ph.D. What does it mean for human beings to be part of nature – not just as a conceptual justification for doing right by the planet, but actually as an embodied, emotional, and sensuous experience? What happens to the experience of being human when notions as fundamental as voice, absence, suffering, and psyche are re-encountered from a perspective rooted within, rather than apart from, the natural world? While this dissertation responds to these questions, it initially took shape in response to something that felt less like a research question and more like a summons. Following a startling experience of feeling called and claimed by a part of California’s Mojave Desert known as Jawbone, the author returned to Jawbone to camp without human company for a month. Interweaving ecopsychological perspectives with autoethnographic methodology allowed the author to share the story of her fieldwork in ways that disturb the expectation iv of an individualized, separate, and anthropocentric “auto,” or self. The experience of being with Jawbone, as well as the aftermath of that experience, prompted the author to explore what it means for humans to engage with the other-than-human natural world as a relational partner, as well as how an understanding that human beings are a part of the natural world invites those working in mental health fields to consider how their work can be of service to nature. The project that resulted is in part a love letter to a place, in part an ecopsychological exploration of the experience of relationship, and in part one human animal’s story about the grief and the joy of belonging deeply to ecology in an ecocidal time. v DEDICATION For Rattlesnake, coming closer vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This project grew up in the shelter of many, only a few of whom are named here. My gratitude goes out to: My desert rat, Darren, whose love started everything. The three members of my committee: my reader Elizabeth, for coaxing my voice back when I lost it, my reader Suzanne, for being a place art loves to live, and my research director, Will, for teaching what I most needed to learn and for trusting my vision, my process, and my grief. My parents and sisters, who were teaching me, long before Jawbone, that the whole world is alive and speaking. Thank you especially to my sister Kristin for being the first to read my stories and suggest edits. My friend and mentor Mark, who has been right there with me. My Daniel.

  • Escapism and the Ideological Stance in Naomi Novik's
    B R U M A L Revista de Investigación sobre lo Fantástico DOI: https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/brumal.606 Research Journal on the Fantastic Vol. VII, n.º 2 (otoño/autumn 2019), pp. 111-131, ISSN: 2014-7910 «I DIDN’T OFFER TO SHAKE HANDS; NO ONE WOULD SHAKE HANDS WITH A JEW»: ESCAPISM AND THE IDEOLOGICAL STANCE IN NAOMI NOVIK’S SPINNING SILVER SARA GONZÁLEZ BERNÁRDEZ Universidade de Santiago de Compostela [email protected] Recibido: 12-06-2019 Aceptado: 11-09-2019 AbsTRACT Naomi Novik, an American writer of Lithuanian-Polish ascendency, is one of the most acclaimed voices in contemporary young-adult fantasy fiction. Her fantasies are heav- ily influenced by her cultural heritage, as well as by the fairy tale tradition, which be- comes most obvious in her two standalone novels, Uprooted and the subject of this es- say, Spinning Silver. As the quote chosen for this essay’s title demonstrates, Novik’s second standalone work constitutes one of the most obvious outward statements of an ideological stance as expressed within fantasy literature, as well as an example of what Jack Zipes (2006) called transfiguration: the rewriting and reworking of traditional tales in order to convey a different, more subversive message. This paper considers how Novik’s retelling takes advantage of traditional fairy-tale elements to create an implicit critique of gender-based oppression, while at the same time, and much more overtly, denouncing racial and religious prejudice. The ideological stance thus conveyed is shown to be intended to have consequences for the reader and the world outside of the fiction.

  • Gender Roles in Costa Rica: the Effect of the Presence of Males Or Females
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 288 160 CG 020 334 AUTHOR Kaschak, Ellyn; Sharratt, Sara TITLE Gender Roles in Costa Rica: The Effect of the Presence of Males or Females. PUB DATE Aug 85 NOTE 14p.; Paper presented at the Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association (93rd, Los Angeles, CA, August 23-27, 1985). PUB TYPE Reports - Research/Technical (143) -- Speeches /Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. LESCRIPTORS Androgyny; College Students; *Cultural Context; *Culture Fair Tests; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; Latin American Culture; *Latin Americans; Sex Differences; *Sex Role; *Test Construction IDENTIFIERS *Costa Rica ABSTRACT Self-report instruments developed to assess adherence to gender roles are usually culture bound and applicable only in a particular cultural context. The Kaschak-Sharratt Sex-Role Inventory (KSSRI) was developed as a Spanish-language instrument appropriate for use in a Latin American culture. This study investigated situational demands or context and their effect upon gender roles by administering the KSSRI to 50 male and 50 female Costa Rican university students from three universities. Subjects completed the KSSRI three times, imagining themselves in a social situation with a male friend, a female friend, or one male and one female friend. While overall scores for females were consistently androgynous and achieved by high scores in both masculinity and femininity, females did score higher in femininity in the situation involving the presence of a male and in-between in situations with both sexes present, supporting the notion that for women, the presence of a male results not it lowered masculine behaviors, but in increased feminine behaviors.

  • Read-Alike Catalog
    2 0 2 0 • alike Catalog This catalog contains our recommendations for books that might appeal to readers who enjoyed Naomi Novik’s Spinning Silver. Spinning Silver (2018) by Naomi Novik Miryem is the daughter and grand- daughter of moneylenders, but her father’s inability to collect his debts has left his family on the edge of poverty— until Miryem takes matters into her own hands. Hardening her heart, the young woman sets out to claim what is owed and soon gains a reputation for being able to turn silver into gold. When an ill- advised boast draws the attention of the king of the Staryk—grim fey creatures who seem more ice than flesh—Miryem’s fate, and that of two kingdoms, will be forever altered. “A perfect tale . rich in both ideas and people, with the vastness of Tolkien and the empathy and joy in daily life of Le Guin.” — NY Times Book Review Uprooted (2015) by Naomi Novik “Moving, heartbreaking, and thoroughly satisfying, Uprooted is the fantasy novel I feel I've been waiting a lifetime for. Clear your schedule before picking it up, because you won't want to put it down.” — NPR “Uprooted is also part of the modern fairy-tale retelling tradition, because it is very much concerned with which stories get told, why and how they are told, and what truths might underlie them. That focus makes the novel not just exciting, but emotionally satisfying, and very much worthy of reading.” — TOR.com The Bear and the Nightingale (2017) by Katherine Arden “Arden’s supple, sumptuous first novel transports the reader to a version of medieval Russia where history and myth coexist.

Hill, Pietermaritzburg. 6 Fire-as Master and Servant: Its Influence in the Bioclimatic Regions of Trans-Saharan Africa JOHN PHILLIPS* DESPITE MAN's remarkable advances in so many fields of endeavor in Trans-Saharan Africa, there is still much he does not know regarding some of the seemingly simple matters of life and living in the "Dark" Continent: One of these blanks in our knowldege is how the most effectively to thwart fire as an uncontrolled destroyer of vegetation and how best to use it to our own advantage. We know fire as a master, we have learned some­ thing about fire as a servant-but we still have much to do before we can direct this servant so as to win its most effective service. I review-against a background of the literature and a personal ex­ perience .of over half a century-some of the matters of prime inter­ est and significance in the role and the use of fire in Trans-Saharan Africa. These include, inter alia, the sins of the master and the merits of the servant, in a range of bioclimatic regions from the humid for­ ests, through the various gradations of aridity of the wooded savanna to .the subdesert. In an endeavor to discuss the whole subject objectively and sys­ tematically, I have dealt with the effects of fire upon vegetation, upon animal associates, upon aerillI factors and upon the complex fac­ tors of the soil.

  • 35 IS 35 Newsletter Article 061509
    35 IS 35! The Past, Present, and Future of Feminist Psychology Overview Martha E. Banks This is a year of celebration as Division 35, The Society for the Psychology of Women (SPW), turns 35 years old. As we look back, around, and forward, we realize that we represent the evolution of feminist psychology and that, in true feminist style, we have collaborated with other groups and grown internally as we have become increasingly diverse and inclusive. Before Division 35 existed, feminist psychology was addressed by the Association for Women in Psychology and APA’s Committee on Women in Psychology. As SPW developed, there was recognition of the differences as well as the commonalities among women; over the years, there have been 5 sections formed to ensure inclusiveness of multiple perspectives. The sections included I: Section on the Psychology of Black Women, II: Section on Feminist Professional Training and Practice (currently the Committee for Feminist Professional Training and Practice), III: Section on Concerns of Hispanic Women, IV: Section for Lesbian and Bisexual Women’s Issues, and V: Section on Concerns of Asian Pacific American Women. In addition, SPW has a Native American Women Committee, which is working toward becoming a section. Throughout most of the existence of Division 35, feminist psychology has been exemplified through the Psychology of Women Quarterly. SPW has been instrumental in many initiatives during our 35 years as reflected in our numerous awards, inclusion of students and early career psychologists, mentoring programs, newsletter, website, and much more. A few of the initiatives described below include the Feminist Therapy Institute, the International and Global Issues Perspectives Committee, collaboration in the formation of APA Division 51: Men and Masculinity, development of Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Girls and Women, and the current presidential initiative on inclusion of Women with Disabilities as a focus of feminist psychology.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Maria Tatar Christina Phillips Mattson Abstract Children’s Literature Grows Up proposes that there is a revolution occurring in contemporary children’s fiction that challenges the divide that has long existed between literature for children and literature for adults. Children’s literature, though it has long been considered worthy of critical inquiry, has never enjoyed the same kind of extensive intellectual attention as adult literature because children’s literature has not been considered to be serious literature or “high art.” Children’s Literature Grows Up draws upon recent scholarship about the thematic transformations occurring in the category, but demonstrates that there is also an emerging aesthetic and stylistic sophistication in recent works for children that confirms the existence of children’s narratives that are equally complex, multifaceted, and worthy of the same kind of academic inquiry that is afforded to adult literature.
