  • Visual Media and the Unraveling of Thanksgiving
    TALKING TURKEY: VISUAL MEDIA AND THE UNRAVELING OF THANKSGIVING ********* A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School at the University of Missouri-Columbia ********* In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy ********** by LUANNE K. ROTH English Department, Dr. Elaine J. Lawless, Dissertation Chair DECEMBER 2010 © Copyright by LuAnne K. Roth 2010 All Rights Reserved The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled: TALKING TURKEY: VISUAL MEDIA AND THE UNRAVELING OF THANKSGIVING presented by LuAnne K. Roth, a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, and hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Professor John Miles Foley Assistant Professor Joanna Hearne Professor Elaine J. Lawless Professor Karen Piper Professor Sandy Rikoon Associate Professor Nancy West ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have heard that, under the best of circumstances, writing a dissertation is a lonely and isolating process. That has not been my experience because so many individuals have shown interest and contributed meaningfully along the way, sending material about turkeys and Thanksgiving to support my research. Certain individuals were crucial at different stages of my journey, and they should be mentioned here. Years before I began this research, Gerry Gerasimo (Augsburg College) inspired me to think critically about culture, and Michael Owen Jones (University of California- Los Angeles) caused me to fall in love with food as a serious topic of study. At the start of my dissertation research, Elisa Glick’s (University of Missouri) graduate seminar on the body led me to consider theories of embodiment in my examination of Thanksgiving’s symbols.

A convoy of six gray government cars pulling up at the east gate to the complex was the first warning anyone on site was permitted—and the two security police officers in the gate booth took it. "Call Ops," the older cop grunted, narrowing his eyes as the cars dimmed their headlights and queued up between the concrete barriers for inspection. "Tell them we've got visitors." "Protesters?" The younger officer straightened up as he reached for the secure handset that tied the booth to the Operations Center.
