Writing Across the Curriculum Writing Across the Curriculum VOLUME VI — 2012 GRADUATE LIBERAL STUDIES AT GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ANNE RIDDER EDITOR volume vi - 2012 — Chou Graduate Liberal Studies Writing Across the Curriculum Editor’s Note As we look ahead to Graduate Liberal Studies’ next major milestone, its Fortieth Anniversary in 2014, we celebrate a recurring milestone, the bien- nial publication of Writing Across the Curriculum. Vol. VI includes a selection of outstanding course papers recommended by our faculty, the work of fifteen MALS and DLS students and recent alumni. Writing is an integral part of Graduate Liberal Studies from short essays, to longer research papers, annotated bibliographies, in-class essay exams, to the successful completion of a final master’s or doctoral thesis. Attentive to the human values at stake during research and writing, the students create papers which do not remain static upon completion. They often lead to further discus- sion, spark new ideas, or provoke action among the writers and their audience. The authors are invited to reshape their course papers into articles worthy for this journal and perhaps other possible publications. You will note the inter- disciplinary content of this collection: rich studies of literary and philosophical pieces; focused writing on domestic concerns; global issues concerning peace and war; topics of religious understanding; and current discussions on the developments, services, and challenges in information technology. I am grateful to recognize the outstanding teaching and guidance of the faculty, librarians, and writing services staff and tutors dedicated to supporting our students with their rigorous writing assignments. Congratulations to the featured authors as well. Enjoy your copy of Writing Across the Curriculum, Vol. VI, and please share it and its ideas with others.

Adle Written for Course: Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and the Late Medieval Renaissance Professor: Ann R. Meyer, Ph.D. Spring 2010 page 5 volume vi - 2012 — Adle Graduate Liberal Studies JOHN M. ADLE John Adle is a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies candidate in the field of literature and society at Georgetown University. Born and raised in Asia, he graduated from Duke University with a B.A. in Comparative Area Studies and a minor in Art and spent a youthful period traveling and living in Europe. Earning subsequently a M.Ed. from The George Washington University he has taught high school Social Studies and ESL for many years in Northern Virginia. He presently teaches part-time at Montgomery College, tutors, and seeks to engage in more creative activities. page 6 Writing Across the Curriculum The Pardoner in The Canterbury Tales has been variously called a hypo- crite, a liar, a thieving scoundrel, a fraud and imposter, a parasite, and a sterile neuter, among other disgraceful epithets. These names are deserved, but perhaps they are a bit too cursory and patent. The Pardoner deliberately fulfills, through his words and deeds, his unwavering thematic preaching: Radix malorum est cupiditas (“Avarice is the root of evil”—from 1 Timothy 6:10 ). This is but to say, the Pardoner is avarice itself. It is claimed that “the Pardoner is literal, and he is literal because he is avaricious.”1 Apparently, the inability to see or read things symbolically or allegorically is a loathsome flaw of his, and it suggests his unregenerate state. Unabashed avarice is indicative of crass, corporeal materialism that is antithetical, supposedly, to any spiritual inkling. An example of this is cited in the following lines where the Pardoner compares himself to a dove in its purely physical movement, overlooking entirely the symbolism of the bird for the Holy Ghost to a Christian congregation: I preche, so as ye han herd bifore, And telle an hundred false japes more. Than peyne I me to strecche forth the nekke, And est and west upon the peple I bekke, As doth a dowve sitting on a berne. Myn hondes and my tonge goon so yerne That it is joye to see my bisinesse. (65-71) The literalism on the part of the Pardoner allegedly demonstrates, more- over, his one dimensional quality. In short, he is unanimously a villain, pure and simple. But is this really so clear-cut, and must we take the Pardoner’s words in his confessional Prologue at face value, without any sense of irony? After all, it has been said that the Pardoner is “the most self-conscious of the Canterbury pilgrims.”2 Must we accept the Pardoner’s shocking self-disclo- sures in the Prologue wholly on the grounds of some naivety in his nature or of his accustomed avariciousness? Behind his apparent self-centeredness is there not some strange, contradictory drive towards self-condemnation—or reparation, even? In the exploration of these questions, evidence will be sought for a more page 7 volume vi - 2012 — Adle Graduate Liberal Studies complex, multifaceted Pardoner who is not unanimously and one-sidedly evil. This quick study is drawn mostly from the Pardoner’s Prologue, and for reasons of luminosity and clarifying of perspective, compare and contrast and look to another fictional figure for helpful insights. ADostoevskyan figure is brought to mind. The literary critic, Harold Bloom, has remarked that “the strangely au- thentic power of the Pardoner’s Sermon, which transcends his overt trickster- ism, testifies to the weird prolepsis of Dostoevsky in The Canterbury Tales.”3 Dostoevsky, of course, has rendered some of the most complicated, cerebral antiheroes ever to intrude on the world stage of literature. Following the critic’s hint in summoning any Dostoevskyan character vis-à-vis the Pardoner, the prime candidate that appears is the first person narrator of Notes from the Underground. The beginning few lines of this confessional tirade are, “I am a sick man. I am a spiteful man. An unattractive man. I think that my liver hurts.” There stirs something bitter, repelling, exhibitionist, and even comical about this narrator. The narrator acknowledges himself at one point that he “will produce an extremely unpleasant impression.” Thomas Mann spoke about the Underground Man’s destructive “radical frankness.” We take note of this aspect in the Pardoner, too, in such lines as “For, though myself be a ful vicious man / A moral tale yet I yow telle can” (131-132). It is commonplace that humans try to keep their sordid vices concealed from prying society, but why does the Pardoner air them in so boastful a manner? The confessions of both characters are unvarnished and self-damaging. They both reveal, openly and zestfully, it would seem, selves that are debauched and unashamed. There is a pungent whiff of masochism. The Underground Man

    La Brea and Beyond: The Paleontology of Asphalt-Preserved Biotas Edited by John M. Harris Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Science Series 42 September 15, 2015 Cover Illustration: Pit 91 in 1915 An asphaltic bone mass in Pit 91 was discovered and exposed by the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art in the summer of 1915. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History resumed excavation at this site in 1969. Retrieval of the “microfossils” from the asphaltic matrix has yielded a wealth of insect, mollusk, and plant remains, more than doubling the number of species recovered by earlier excavations. Today, the current excavation site is 900 square feet in extent, yielding fossils that range in age from about 15,000 to about 42,000 radiocarbon years.

  • The Present Elsewhere: Theorizing an Aesthetics of Displacement in Contemporary African American and Postcolonial Literatures
    THE PRESENT ELSEWHERE: THEORIZING AN AESTHETICS OF DISPLACEMENT IN CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN AMERICAN AND POSTCOLONIAL LITERATURES Mary Alice Kirkpatrick A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Minrose Gwin William L. Andrews Pamela Cooper Rebecka Rutledge Fisher Trudier Harris © 2010 Mary Alice Kirkpatrick ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mary Alice Kirkpatrick: The Present Elsewhere: Theorizing an Aesthetics of Displacement in Contemporary African American and Postcolonial Literatures (Under the direction of Minrose Gwin) “The Present Elsewhere” investigates the aesthetic traits and political implications of displacement in contemporary African American, Caribbean, and Canadian works. Arguing that displacement resonates textually, I interrogate the degree to which artists purposely leave their works in states of flux. Framed through the lens of nomadic, transitional figures (including diasporic cultural orphans, child clairvoyants, and reincarnated ghosts), this project develops the notion of an aesthetics of displacement – that is to say, an aesthetics informed by political urgency. Writers such as Michael Ondaatje, Toni Cade Bambara, and Octavia Butler rearrange customary geographic and chronological placements, unsettle narrative lines, and challenge shared histories of oppression. Propelled into active engagement, readers are encouraged to adopt new roles as migrants and witnesses. The political significance of works that displace radiates externally, as readers are directed toward sites of change well beyond the confines of individual texts. By bringing together seemingly divergent traditions, “The Present Elsewhere” examines the specific historical conditions, cultural backgrounds, and geographic contexts that produce sites of displacement within the Caribbean island, U.

  • “He Mought, En Den Again He Moughtent”: the Ambiguous Man in Toni Morrison's Tar Baby
    American Studies in Scandinavia, 50:1 (2018), pp. 63-82. Published by the Nordic Association for American Studies (NAAS). “He Mought, en Den Again He Moughtent”: The Ambiguous Man in Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby Tuula Kolehmainen University of Helsinki Abstract: In this article, I discuss Toni Morrison’s 1981 novel, Tar Baby, through the lens of a trickster tale on which the novel is loosely based. Tar Baby invites one to choose sides between Jadine, the African American female protagonist with a Eu- ropean education and worldviews, or Son, the bearer of a more traditional African American cultural heritage and values. Son is initially constructed as other, and his representation is based on negative stereotypical notions of the African American male. First impressions need to be revised later, as the text plays with the readers’ sympathies about Son. Even his survival is left open at the end of the novel and the range of options of how to categorize Son would seem to reflect the readers’ percep- tions back on themselves. In this way, Morrison sets up a trap in which any reader making too easy or essentialist definitions of the character will fall. Thus, the most important expression of the trickster tale is the novel’s name: the novel itself is the tar baby. Moreover, the most important construction of tar lies in the ambiguous repre- sentation of Son. Keywords: African American, stereotypes, trickster, tar baby, racism There is an old tale of Brer Rabbit and tar baby, which was originally brought with the slave ships to North America from West Africa.1 In the 1 I am referring here to a version in one of Joel Chandler Harris’ Uncle Remus books.

For any language lover, the words in these emails are delicious. Even as someone who has devoted a career to language, I’m often surprised by the weight of a single word. Take, for instance, “pareidolia,” or “the tendency to see a specific pattern or meaningful images in random stimulus.”1 That single word encompasses such a powerful memory of time spent in youth staring at the clouds and imagining stories floating across the sky. Each of these daily vocab nuggets is linked by a weekly theme: sometimes the words are connected linguistically while other times the similarities are found in historical events or even cultural movements. These emails recently paid homage to the 50th anniversary of the moon landing with words like “lunule,” the white, crescent shaped area at the bottom of a fingernail.2 Such a word is bound to score you some Jeopardy! or Trivial Pursuit points.
