  • The Grapes of Wrath: a Retrospect on the Folkish Expression of Justice in Popular Culture and Family
    The Grapes of Wrath: A Retrospect on the Folkish Expression of Justice in Popular Culture and Family by Neville Buch, member of the Classics Books Club, Brisbane Meet Up 25 April 2020 Figure 1: Cover of ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ by John Steinbeck, 1902-1968, By New York: Viking - image, page, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=5177527 The Grapes of Wrath: A Popular Culture Retrospect INTRODUCTION The story of rural folk migrating in times of poverty and social injustice seeped well into my childhood history, through three popular cultural forms of entertainment:- several television series in the 1960s, a series of comedy films from the late 1940s and 1950s, and a novel published in 1939 with a classic Hollywood movie the following year. There was in my own family history points of connection to the longer story, which I would only find out many years later. The story told here will move backwards in time, and the historical settings are different; that is the particular point I am making. Different histories are linked by a common theme, and in this case, we are considering the folkish expression on social justice. Retrospectively, we can also see how popular entertainment works to thin-out the social justice message. What starts as a serious educative process of informing the public on important social justice issues, in the end, becomes a mocking and light reflection on life- changing questions. By going backwards, we dig below the surface for the gold, rather than being satisfied in panning for the golden flakes.

  • From “Hicks” to High Tech: Performative Use in the American Corn Belt
    From “Hicks” to High Tech: Performative Use in the American Corn Belt Joshua Todd Brinkman Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Science and Technology Studies Richard F. Hirsh, Chair Saul E. Halfon Daniel Breslau Matthew R. Goodrum January 17, 2017 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Performativity, Agricultural Technology, Identity, Modernity, Farmers From “Hicks” to High Tech: Performative Use in the American Corn Belt Joshua Todd Brinkman ABSTRACT This historical narrative examines technology use among farmers from the eighteenth century to the present, with an emphasis on the American Midwest. I contend that people do not simply use objects for articulated benefits, but to perform unspoken identities, a process called performative use. Through an analysis of agricultural discourses, I demonstrate how performative use allows farmers to form self-images strategically in response to changing social factors. I identify six main agrarian discourse-identity bundles – ways of thinking about words and actions that communicate or construct people’s understanding of themselves. These bundles present distinct notions about moral ways of making a living and relationships with nature and objects. Therefore, technologies and identities co-construct one another. Beginning in the eighteenth century, elite observers evaluated the modernity of a rural “other” through a “pattern of audience.” Concurrently, German farmers exhibited the practice of performative use. These developments set the stage for conflicts over rural identity in the 1920s when urban industrialism and “rube” stereotypes framed farmers as dysfunctional. Performative use early in the twentieth century allowed rural Midwesterners to establish their own identities to combat these perceived urban threats and stereotypes.
