Inside the Unconscious Mind 1
Running head: INSIDE THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND 1 Inside the Unconscious Mind of an Author Marissa Tafolla Professor Cindy Chavez Writing 10 May 3, 2013 INSIDE THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND 2 Abstract According to Psychology in Modules by David G. Meyers, “the unconscious process consists of all mental processes that one is not aware of”, in other words all the things that are not actively being paid attention to for example filtered sensory information, automatic behavior, non- activated declarative memories and motivations. Freud Sigmund referred to it as unacceptable thoughts, wishes, feelings, and memories. Therefore, writing can be an existential, unconscious confession of our selves. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, by L. Frank Baum, proved that by incorporating his childhood feelings in the story. As L. Frank Baum was a child he was mistreated by both of his highly strict parents. They pulled him away from his creativity and instead pushed him to become a successful entrepreneur, which was not what Baum desired. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was written by L. Frank Baum with the unconscious goal to rediscover his childhood history. He was never able to enjoy his childhood the way a child should, he was manipulated by his parents and was violently mistreated. He grew up with moral discipline enforced by his parents. He believed that no parent should ever be disrespected by their children. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is written to indirectly explain what he may have suffered as a child. The unconscious process works in a way in which you are not aware of what you are doing or why you are doing it, when Baum got older and was “free” he was able to do whatever his creative mind desired.

Transcript of King Denslow of Oz
1 You’re listening to Suspension of Disbelief. I’m Eric Molinsky. When I was a kid, I was not a big fan of the Wizard of Oz. I recognized that the performers were amazing -- but the movie always felt kind of stagey. I could still see the seams on the costumes. And I felt like the camera was just about to catch a microphone hanging above the actors. Now ten years ago, I came across the original book from 1900 -- The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum. The story is, you know, just like the movie – but the illustrations were SO charming. The shapes of the characters were really funny with big heads and little bodies. They were drawn with bold strokes. The expressions on the Tin Man and the Scarecrow were just as human as Ray Bolger and Jack Haley, but the characters really look like they’re made of straw and tin. Dorothy is like this scrappy 6 year old, who really looks like she’s from a farm. And the Lion was a LION like a big lion but he’s wearing spectacles and he’s got a little bow in his hair! The artist was William Wallace Denslow or W.W. Denslow. I had never heard of him. MPH: Had he illustrated more classics, we probably would know more of his books. But other than The Wizard of Oz, he’s pretty much forgotten. That’s Michael Patrick Hearn. He wrote biographies on L. Frank Baum and W.W. Denslow. And the story of their collaboration is completely fascinating.

Real, Truly Live Places: Notes Toward the Queer Uncanny
REAL, TRULY LIVE PLACES: NOTES TOWARD THE QUEER UNCANNY By Copyright 2011 Milton W.

Ayu Saraswati ________________________________ Dr. Adrianne Kunkel Date Defended: July 18, 2011 The Dissertation Committee for Milton W. Wendland certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: REAL, TRULY LIVE PLACES: NOTES TOWARD THE QUEER UNCANNY ________________________________ Chairperson: Dr. Ann Schofield ________________________________ Chairperson: Dr. Kathryn Conrad Date approved: July 18, 2011 ii Abstract This dissertation problematizes contemporary ideas of epistemological dependability and advances queer theory’s critique of heteronormativity by reading the psychoanalytic concept of the uncanny in conjunction with the critical concept of the queer to produce the queer uncanny. The first chapter analyzes the The Wizard of Oz (1939) and introduces the disruptive interpretive potential of the queer uncanny in several of its manifestations: the compulsion to repeat, doubling, and dislogic. The second chapter focuses on the novel Mysterious Skin (Scott Heim) and of redemption in light of childhood sexual molestation, demonstrates the ability of the queer uncanny to broaden available interpretative ranges vis-à- vis cultural discourses surrounding traumatic events like child sexual abuse. The final chapter applies the lens of the queer uncanny to a municipal domestic partnership registry ordinance that by its own terms provides no rights to registrants but which upon further analysis turns out to offer evidence of the performative potential of the queer uncanny.

Otto Volumes 32 through 45: Richard R. Rutter Dedications The Baum Bugle’s editors for giving Oz fans insights into the wonderful world of Oz. Fred E. Otto [1927-95] for launching the indexing project. Peter E. Hanff for his assistance and encouragement during the creation of this third edition of The Baum Bugle Index (1957-2001). Fred M. Meyer, my mentor during more than a quarter century in Oz. Introduction Founded in 1957 by Justin G. Schiller, The International Wizard of Oz Club brings together thousands of diverse individuals interested in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and this classic’s author, L. Frank Baum. The forty-four volumes of The Baum Bugle to-date play an important rôle for the club and its members. Despite the general excellence of the journal, the lack of annual or cumulative indices, was soon recognized as a hindrance by those pursuing research related to The Wizard of Oz. The late Fred E. Otto (1925-1994) accepted the challenge of creating a Bugle index proposed by Jerry Tobias. With the assistance of Patrick Maund, Peter E. Hanff, and Karin Eads, Fred completed a first edition which included volumes 1 through 28 (1957-1984). A much improved second edition, embracing all issues through 1988, was published by Fred Otto with the assistance of Douglas G. Greene, Patrick Maund, Gregory McKean, and Peter E.

DAMMIT, TOTO, WE’RE STILL IN KANSAS: THE FALLACY OF FEMINIST EVOLUTION IN A MODERN AMERICAN FAIRY TALE by Beth Boswell A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University May 2018 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Martha Hixon, Director Dr. Will Brantley Dr. Jane Marcellus This dissertation is dedicated, in loving memory, to two dearly departed souls: to Dr. David L. Lavery, the first director of this project and a constant voice of encouragement in my studies, whose absence will never be wholly realized because of the thousands of lives he touched with his spirit, enthusiasm, and scholarship. I am eternally grateful for our time together. And to my beautiful grandmother, Fay M. Rhodes, who first introduced me to the yellow brick road and took me on her back to a pear-tree Emerald City one hundred times or more. I miss you more than Dorothy missed Kansas. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the educators who have pushed me to challenge myself, to question everything in the world around me, and to be unashamed to explore what I “thought” I already knew, over and over again. Though there are too many to list by name, know that I am forever grateful for your encouragement and dedication to learning, whether in the classroom or the world. I would like to thank my phenomenal committee for their tireless support and assistance in this project. I am especially grateful for Dr. Martha Hixon, who stepped in as my director after the passing of Dr.

To garner this outcome, Benjamin may have had to be a stern, self- absorbed, and imposing figure,2 especially given that his father, John, was a circuit riding Methodist minister, who likely preached about the dangers of the devil and lack of inner moral discipline.3 As such, John Baum would * Copyright © 2010 by Reginald Leamon Robinson.
