  • Naturalizing Sustainability Discourse: Paradigm, Practices and Pedagogy of Thoreau, Leopold, Carson and Wilson
    Naturalizing Sustainability Discourse: Paradigm, Practices and Pedagogy of Thoreau, Leopold, Carson and Wilson by Craig F. Thomas A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Ben A. Minteer, Chair Christopher Boone Paul W. Hirt K. David Pijawka ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2015 © 2015 Craig F. Thomas All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Understanding complex and adaptive socio-ecological systems (SES) to deal with our most challenging and overlapping problems such as global climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising consumption rates requires sustainability theory that is commensurate with these problems’ size and complexity. The received United Nations- based sustainability framework aims to achieve a balance among three pillars— economics, environment, and social equity—for today and for future generations. Yet, despite applying this sustainability framework for over a quarter of a century, the Earth is less sustainable, not more. Theoretical trade-offs between environmental conservation and economic growth have often reinforced business-as-usual practices and educational paradigms, and emphasized economic values over ecological limits. How can the principles of foundational naturalists help clarify, enhance, and advance sustainability discourse? I propose that the principles of Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), Aldo Leopold (1887-1948), Rachel Carson (1907-1964), and Edward O. Wilson (1927-), express a worldview that captures and integrates a range and depth of historical, normative, economic, ecological, scientific, and social values for a viable and applicable discourse of sustainability. This analytical study relies on (i.) textual analysis and interpretation of four key naturalists and humanists, (ii.) analysis of secondary sources that illuminate their proto- ecological and sustainability principles, and (iii.) interviews with leading sustainability scholars.

  • Native American Poets and the Voices of History in the Present Tense
    The Spirits Still Among Us: Native American Poets and the Voices of History in the Present Tense Sydney Hunt Coffin Edison/Fareira High School Overview Introduction Rationale Objectives Strategies Classroom Activites/Lesson Plans Annotated Bibliography/Resources Appendices/Standards Endnotes What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.1 Overview So spoke Crowfoot, orator of the Blackfoot Confederacy in 1890, above, on his deathbed. Even while this was not identified as poetry at the time, much of the wisdom of this Native American speaker comes across to readers poetically. Similarly, much of the poetry of Native American poets can be read simply as wisdom. Though there was a significant number of tribes, and a tremendous number of people at the time of the European invasion, each tribal language displays simultaneously a distinct identity as well as a variety of individual voices. However, the published poetry from native authors across the vast spectrum of tribal affiliations between the beginning and end of the 20th century reveal three unifying themes: (1) respecting a common reverence for the land from which each tribe came, through ceremonial poetry and songs; (2) respecting past traditions, including rituals, truths, and the words of one’s elders; and (3) expressing political criticism, even activism. Editor Kenneth Rosen writes “There may seem to be a great deal of distance between the Navajo Blessing Way chants and a contemporary poem about the confrontations at Wounded Knee, but it’s really not that far to go”.2 In fact, this curriculum unit around Native American poetry endeavors to keep pace with the ongoing experiences of native people, whose words continue to speak to the land, its mysteries, and its voice.

  • The Spoken Art of Poetry This Semester in the Monday-Friday Prosody Workshops at the Sitting Room, We Have Been Reading Amy Lowell, E.E
    SONOMA COUNTY LITERARY UPDATE March 1, 2012 The Spoken Art of Poetry This semester in the Monday-Friday prosody workshops at the Sitting Room, we have been reading Amy Lowell, e.e. cummings, Phil Levine, and Jorie Graham. I scoured the Internet for downloadable recordings of poems in the voice of each poet. Ironically, the only poet among these four who was never recorded was Amy Lowell—ironic because she was a jubilant proponent of the oral performance of poems and the musical/emotional breath in words off the page. In her essay “Poetry as a Spoken Art,” Lowell wrote, “Poetry is as much an art to be heard as is music, if we could only get people to understand the fact. To read it off the printed pages without pronouncing it is to get only a portion of its beauty. Poetry will come into its Paradise when carefully trained speakers make a business of interpreting it to the word.” Poetry Out Loud How fortunate for us in Sonoma County that we have so many readers and writers who believe in the spoken art of poetry. On Sunday, February 12, at the Glaser Center in Santa Rosa, we were treated to fourteen young performers presenting twenty-seven poems from memory as part of Sonoma County’s Poetry Out Loud annual high school competition. For those of you who weren’t there, I can assure you, the oral life of poetry is alive and well. This year’s winner was Brynna Thigpen of Maria Carrillo High School performing "The Room" by Conrad Aiken and "Childhood's Retreat," by Robert Duncan.

  • Introduction
    Introduction JOHN WHALEN-BRIDGE AND GARY STORHOFF BUDDHISM AND AMERICAN IMAGINED COMMUNITIES Postwar American writers rebelled in a variety of ways.1 Writers in the first twenty years after the war struggled against censorship laws and canons of taste, and court cases were fought about books dealing with sex in an explicit manner. Books such as Lolita and Catcher in the Rye were the site of censorship battles between librarians and church groups, not just because these books brought up sex as a subject, but also because they presented conventional tastes regarding literature, art, and morality as ridiculously provincial or as phony.2 Buddhist writers from this period such as J.D. Salinger, Gary Snyder, and Allen Ginsberg, to name some of the most famous Buddhist popularizers of the 1950s, did both. They experimented with a kind of formlessness in which the work took on the qualities of a mind supposed to be freer from delusion than those against which that mind was being defined. The Glass stories, Snyder’s mixing of Poundian translation and indigenous song, and Ginsberg’s charming and elegant yawp from the rooftop were all forms of complaint against mainstream society, which was felt to be crassly materialistic, a society of people too selfish to appreciate the literary celebration of generosity. In the words of Hettie Jones, the Beats were interested in Buddhism as an “antimaterialist point of view” that was “very attractive to those of us who © 2009 State University of New York Press, Albany 2 John Whalen-Bridge and Gary Storhoff were disaffected with the organized religion we were brought up with” (Mortenson 7).

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

    Journal of Ecocriticism 3(2) July 2011 Cosmopolitics and the Radical Pastoral: A Conversation with Lawrence Buell, Hsuan Hsu, Anthony Lioi, and Paul Outka Lance Newman (Westminster College) and Laura Walls (University of South Carolina)1 Lance Newman: Welcome, everyone, to this roundtable discussion of “Cosmopolitics and the Radical Pastoral.”2 It’s a little breathtaking to see this large audience. I want to beGin by explaininG the format of this session, because it’s somewhat experimental. It’s an attempt to push the roundtable format that has been introduced at the last few ASLE conferences a little bit further, to push it beyond the boundaries of the conference. This discussion that we are Going to continue today--and hopefully after the conference--beGan with a simple blog at radicalpastoral.bloGspot.com, where ten people have posted position statements that engage the two concepts that make up our title: Joni Adamson, Larry Buell, Hsuan Hsu, Jennifer Ladino, Anthony Lioi, Paul Outka, Nicole Shukin, Julianne Warren, Laura Walls, and myself. About half of those people are in the room today to continue the discussion with you. We’ll Give the panelists an opportunity to start the discussion by briefly summarizinG or commentinG on what they had to say on the blog, and then we’ll open things up to a conversation. We would like invite participation from the audience from the beginninG--not just questions, but clarifications, extensions, examples, counter-examples, disaGreements, redirections, et cetera. We’d like to make this a conversation that involves the whole room. I’ll act as moderator, and I’ll also attempt to bring in some of the ideas of people who posted to the blog but are not able to be here today.

    Covenantal Poetics: Jewish, Irish, and African American Modernisms Beyond the Lyric by Joshua Logan Wall A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in the University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Julian Levinson, Chair Emeritus Professor Laurence Goldstein Associate Professor Joshua Miller Professor Deborah Dash Moore Associate Professor Gillian White Joshua Logan Wall [email protected] ORCID iD : 0000-0002-6983-4850 © Joshua Logan Wall 2018 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My work on this project was supported by a variety of individuals, but a handful of institutions also deserve recognition for providing me with opportunities to conduct research. Through the Rackham Graduate School at the University of Michigan, I was supported by a Pre- Doctoral Research Fellowship, a Humanities Research Fellowship, a One-Term Dissertation Fellowship, funding for summer research, and a variety of conference travel grants that allowed me to present early versions of this research. The Department of English Language and Literature and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies also provided funding for conference travel; the Frankel Center, moreover, provided generous research and language study funding during my summers. Special collections libraries and librarians at the University of Texas, Yale University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Michigan were helpful and informative when I visited. I owe particular thanks to my committee members. Archival research has been a central component of this project, and Josh Miller’s advice and encouragement deserves much credit for this. He’s also among the university’s best listeners. Larry Goldstein first introduced me to the poetry of Lola Ridge.
