It’s Davis Way’s first slot-tournament season working on the Bellissimo Resort and Casino’s elite security team. And it may very well be her last. When the Gulf weather turns chilly, the casino’s high rollers take cover at the slot machines, where they compete in tournaments featuring fantastic odds, extravagant prizes, and colossal jackpots. Tournament play begins just as a perfect storm blows in: Bianca Sanders’ personal assistant goes missing, a little old lady who lives at a church goes on a suspicious winning streak, and a Bellissimo executive goes gaga for Davis. When she’s not disguised as a tournament player or batting away unwanted attention, Davis follows a trail of disappearing slot-tournament players. She hits a dead end at the So Help Me God Pentecostal Church in Beehive, Alabama, where she jumps headlong into a high stakes holy scandal. The good news is, she’s too busy at work to worry about the bad news at home, where Mary Harper Hathaway, Southern Belle Home Wrecker, threatens everything Davis loves when she joins her boyfriend Bradley Cole’s legal team. Bradley is the love of Davis’s life, but what if she’s not his? The worst? Davis doesn’t feel so hot. Maybe it’s the banana pudding, or maybe it’s a little bundle of something else.

  • Everything You Wanted to Know About Transgender Studies but Were Afraid to Ask Clara Reeve
    humanities Article “More and More Fond of Reading”: Everything You Wanted to Know about Transgender Studies but Were Afraid to Ask Clara Reeve Desmond Huthwaite Faculty of English, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 1TN, UK; [email protected] Abstract: Clara Reeve’s (1729–1807) Gothic novel The Old English Baron is a node for contemplating two discursive exclusions. The novel, due to its own ambiguous status as a gendered “body”, has proven a difficult text for discourse on the Female Gothic to recognise. Subjected to a temperamental dialectic of reclamation and disavowal, The Old English Baron can be made to speak to the (often) subordinate position of Transgender Studies within the field of Queer Studies, another relationship predicated on the partial exclusion of undesirable elements. I treat the unlikely transness of Reeve’s body of text as an invitation to attempt a trans reading of the bodies within the text. Parallel to this, I de- velop an attachment genealogy of Queer and Transgender Studies that reconsiders essentialism—the kind both practiced by Female Gothic studies and also central to the logic of Reeve’s plot—as a fantasy that helps us distinguish where a trans reading can depart from a queer one, suggesting that the latter is methodologically limited by its own bad feelings towards the former. Keywords: Clara Reeve; Female Gothic; trans; queer; gender; embodiment The “literary offspring of the Castle of Otranto” had, and continues to have, something Citation: Huthwaite, Desmond. 2021. of a difficult birth.1 In its first year of life, the text was christened twice (titled The Champion “More and More Fond of Reading”: of Virtue in 1777, then Old English Baron in a revised 1778 edition); described alternately Everything You Wanted to Know as a transcription, a translation, a history, a romance, and (most enduringly) a “Gothic about Transgender Studies but Were story”; attributed to “the editor of the PHOENIX” and then to Clara Reeve; and subjected Afraid to Ask Clara Reeve.

  • How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television
    “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” 44 DOI: 10.1515/abcsj-2015-0003 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style”: How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television RALUCA MOLDOVAN Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Abstract The present study revisits one of American television’s most famous and influential shows, Twin Peaks, which ran on ABC between 1990 and 1991. Its unique visual style, its haunting music, the idiosyncratic characters and the mix of mythical and supernatural elements made it the most talked-about TV series of the 1990s and generated numerous parodies and imitations. Twin Peaks was the brainchild of America’s probably least mainstream director, David Lynch, and Mark Frost, who was known to television audiences as one of the scriptwriters of the highly popular detective series Hill Street Blues. When Twin Peaks ended in 1991, the show’s severely diminished audience were left with one of most puzzling cliffhangers ever seen on television, but the announcement made by Lynch and Frost in October 2014, that the show would return with nine fresh episodes premiering on Showtime in 2016, quickly went viral and revived interest in Twin Peaks’ distinctive world. In what follows, I intend to discuss the reasons why Twin Peaks was considered a highly original work, well ahead of its time, and how much the show was indebted to the legacy of classic American film noir; finally, I advance a few speculations about the possible plotlines the series might explore upon its return to the small screen. Keywords: Twin Peaks, television series, film noir, David Lynch Introduction: the Lynchian universe In October 2014, director David Lynch and scriptwriter Mark Frost announced that Twin Peaks, the cult TV series they had created in 1990, would be returning to primetime television for a limited nine episode run 45 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” broadcast by the cable channel Showtime in 2016.

  • Political Mythologies of the Mexican
    DRUGLORDS, COWBOYS, DESPERADOES: POLITICAL MYTHOLOGIES OF THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN FRONTIER A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Rafael Acosta Morales May, 2014 © 2014 Rafael Acosta Morales DRUGLORDS, COWBOYS, DESPERADOES: POLITICAL MYTHOLOGIES OF THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN FRONTIER Rafael Acosta Morales, Ph. D. Cornell University 2014 Cowboys, drug lords and desperadoes, with their unholstered guns, riding horses or trucks, roaming through the wide desert, represent key parts of the political mythology of the Mexican and American frontiers. This is a territory that, even as it has always been considered peripheral, has had a central role in shaping the central identities of both countries, as well as in the development of their attitudes towards violence and conflict, legality and illegality. My research focuses on these three figures and the territory in which they roam, eliciting from narratives that center around them theories of political exceptionality, legitimation, and substantiality. On the frontier regions of the liberal, representative state, its shortcomings become more obvious, and betray the blind spots of our political schema. I argue in my dissertation that the manifestations of violence that surround this territory do not arise in spite of the state and its notions of legality, but because of the law and the processes through which it comes into existence. To illustrate this point, I construct a narrative divided in three chapters, which develops the imaginary of each figure, focusing on the work of Cormac McCarthy, Clint Eastwood, Luis G. Inclán, Yuri Herrera, Américo Paredes and Rolando Hinojosa.

  • “Isn't It Swell... Nowadays?”: the Reception History of Chicago On
    “Isn’t It Swell . Nowadays?”: The Reception History of Chicago on Stage and Screen A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Michael M. Kennedy BM, Butler University, 2004 MM, University of Hartford, 2008 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD Abstract The musical Chicago represents an anomaly in Broadway history: its 1996 revival far surpassed the modest success of the original 1975 production. Despite the original production’s box-office accomplishments, it received disparaging reviews regarding the cynicism of the work’s content. The musical celebrates the crimes and acquittals of two murderesses, and is based on Maurine Dallas Watkins’s coverage as a Chicago Tribune reporter of two 1924 murder cases, from which she generated a 1926 Broadway play. The 1975 Broadway production of Chicago: A Musical Vaudeville utilized this historical source material to comment on contemporary American society, highlighting parallels between the U.S. justice system and the entertainment industry, which critics and audiences of the post-Watergate era deemed as too cynical. Although Chicago initially achieved a mixed reception, the revival’s producers made few changes to John Kander’s music, Fred Ebb’s lyrics, and Ebb and Bob Fosse’s book, aside from simplifying the title to Chicago: The Musical. This suggests that the musical’s newfound success can be attributed to a societal shift in the perception of its subject matter. With further success from Chicago’s 2002 film adaptation, the originally dark and sardonic material became a smash hit and found itself as mainstream entertainment at the turn of the millennium.

  • Female and Evil: the Role Gender Plays for Villains In
    2013 University of Utrecht Faculty of the Humanities Author: Terry Guijt Student number: 3622045 Supervisor: Dr. R.H. Leurs Second reader: Dr. J.I.L. Veugen Date: 9-8-2013 [FEMALE AND EVIL: THE ROLE GENDER PLAYS FOR VILLAINS IN ADVENTURE GAMES] Keywords: Philosophy of Evil, Digital Games, Gender, Stereotypes, Feminism __________________________________________________________________________ This research paper examines how female evil is represented in adventure games from 1982 till 2013 and how this representation of female evil can be understood in a cultural philosophical perspective. First, the philosophical growth of the term evil is summarized and the paper describes how media forms, such as art, literature and movies, have represented evil in the past. While these art forms focus on representation through images, sound and text, video games introduce interactivity as a new tool to represent, understand and occasionally even be evil. Observed is that female villains are represented through text, images, sound and extra diegetic material. By examining the female gender role of end bosses in digital games, the portrayal of evil is studied and it is shown that humanlike female end bosses become demonized oral villains as their representation is stereotyped with the use of symbols for evil. Only when the villain is a genderless being the female aspects of the end boss can be said to be of cultural importance. Dear reader, While the King needs to be put checkmate, it is the defeat of the Queen that causes the most relief --- Playing a game of Chess This thesis is written to conclude the master’s degree Media and Performance Studies at the University of Utrecht.

Honors Scholar Theses. 729. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/srhonors_theses/729 Iron Manicures: Sex, Power, and Sedition in Margaret Atwood's Writing Anna Zarra Aldrich Thesis Advisor: Regina Barreca, Ph.D. Honors Advisor: Mary Burke, Ph.D. 1 Abstract Margaret Atwood has often been criticized as a bad feminist writer for featuring villainous, cruel women. Atwood has combatted this criticism by pointing out that evil women exist in life, so they should in literature as well. Every story requires a villain and a victim, for Atwood these roles are both usually played by women. This thesis will explore the idea of the woman as spectacle in both behavior and body. Women are controlled by the idea that they must care. When they stop caring, they become a threat. At the heart of Atwood’s writing are the relationships between women both bitter and powerful. This thesis examines the relationships through which women control other women, as well as the destabilizing power of female alliances.
