To Live Like Fighting Cocks: 'Fight Club' And The Ethics Of Masculinity, Andrew Slade
To Live Like Fighting Cocks: 'Fight Club' And The Ethics Of Masculinity, Andrew Slade
Andrew R. Slade
David Fincher's 1999 adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's novel Fight Club has prompted many academics to write about this film and has captivated many of their students. As Warren Rosenberg, chair of English at the all-male Wabash College has said, "This seems to be a movie that they all adore so we'll see if we can deconstruct it, and hopefully get them to like it less" (Students, A10). While we may take this flippant comment from a 2001 story in The Chronicle of Higher Education as just that and dismiss it as quickly as it passes, Rosenberg's sentiment reflects a widespread …
Remake As Erasure In 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', Andrew Slade
Remake As Erasure In 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', Andrew Slade
Andrew R. Slade
Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) was remade as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) by Marcus Nispel. The remake erases the progressive critique of gender and family life in the United States that Hooper’s film screened and replaces that critique with a reactionary vision of sex, gender and family in the United States of the early twenty-first century.
The Structure Of Play: An Exploration Of The Instructional Design Of Rift, Carly Finseth
The Structure Of Play: An Exploration Of The Instructional Design Of Rift, Carly Finseth
Carly Finseth
This paper uncovers and explores the specific instructional approaches that role-playing games (RPGs) use to engage and teach their players. The goal of this research was to go beyond the theoretical understandings of gaming as rhetorical, social, and cultural experience and instead identify a practical, applications-based approach to understanding games as instructional design artifacts. Through in-depth case study research, I ultimately unearthed a set of heuristics that can be used in future studies about games and learning including how to study video games as instructional documentation and how to construct a higher education classroom as a game.
On Mutilation: The Sublime Body Of Chuck Palahniuk's Fiction, Andrew Slade
On Mutilation: The Sublime Body Of Chuck Palahniuk's Fiction, Andrew Slade
Andrew R. Slade
Much of Chuck Palahniuk's writing centers on the mutilation of bodies. Bodies are broken from the outside. They are beaten unrecognizable and destroyed beyond recuperation. Bodies are transformed from one sex to another, one gender to another. In Palahniuk's writing, the human body is the site for the inscription of a search for modes of authentic living in a world where the difference between the fake and the genuine has ceased to function. Not just the rules that had regulated behavior and prospects for a good life, but the rules that determine desire, pleasure, gender identity, and family role are …
Lyotard, Beckett, Duras, And The Postmodern Sublime, Andrew Slade
Lyotard, Beckett, Duras, And The Postmodern Sublime, Andrew Slade
Andrew R. Slade
Samuel Beckett's texts are populated with characters who have been so deprived of their humanity that humanity appears as essentially absent from his texts. The characters' presence in the diegesis is marked by unmistakable absences-absence of vision, of mobility, of sense, of name. Beckett's characters are often without: without hair, without teeth, without foreseeable future. The human character is at the limit of humanity and runs the risk of passing over into the grey zone of the inhuman. They lose track of their place, of their time, of their names. They frequently belong to no time and no place. When …
Sweet As Muscatel, Gwenyth Hood
Sweet As Muscatel, Gwenyth Hood
Gwenyth Hood
Although my grandfather had made his fortune in trade, I had been educated as a gentleman and at first I expected Flora society to accept me as such. After a youth spent in Paris and Vienna, I was anyone's equal in deportment. My attire, always elegant without flashiness, had elsewhere disarmed the stuffiest arbiters. So when with a lover's shyness I followed the Lady Celia into the Contessa di Filipini's salon at Flora, I was not expecting difficulties from the threadbare remnants of aristocracy which infested that small city. I took no special notice of Prospero until the night he …
The Fountain And The Black Fish, Gwenyth Hood
The Fountain And The Black Fish, Gwenyth Hood
Gwenyth Hood
It was late afternoon when Oscar Verplank and his mother arrived at his Aunt Penny's apartment. The boards of the porch creaked as they crossed to the heavy oak door. "The house is more than a hundred years old,"murmured his mother as she rang the bell. A buzz sounded and Oscar quickly opened the door. "They had to update the place to make it livable, Mother," he noted. As they climbed the creaky stairs, the door to the upstairs apartment was thrown open. "Louise! It's been too long!" cried the woman who rushed out. As the sisters embraced each other, …
Foreground And Background: Three Literary Treatments Of The Bubonic Plague, Gwenyth Hood
Foreground And Background: Three Literary Treatments Of The Bubonic Plague, Gwenyth Hood
Gwenyth Hood
Though many diseases bring suffering and death, plagues strike the imagination with special awe because they threaten death to whole cities and nations. So it is not surprising that novelists have treated of plagues now and then. A visitation of bubonic plague is the central event in Daniel Defoe’s Journal of the Plague Year and Albert Camus’s The Plague. In Alessandro Manzoni’s The Betrothed, it is the culminating event, through which all the plot lines are finally resolved. Though much separates these writers, including language, culture, century. and philosophical outlook. each presents the plague accurately according to the scientific knowledge …

The Elephants Evaluate: Some Notes On The Problem Of Grades In Graduate Creative Writing Programs, Rachel Peckham
The Elephants Evaluate: Some Notes On The Problem Of Grades In Graduate Creative Writing Programs, Rachel Peckham
Rachael Peckham
This article takes up the "special strangeness" of grading practices in the graduate creative writing workshop, based on the author's research, personal experience, and interviews with the faculty of her doctoral creative writing program. Using a structure of notes, the author attempts to make sense of the way grades are understood by both teacher and student at the post-secondary level. First, she considers why the formal evaluation of creative writing continues to be defined by a system of grades, despite the perceived failure of grades to represent the value of such work, and despite educators' historic and ongoing attempts at …
For All The Mias Of This World, Meredith Doench
For All The Mias Of This World, Meredith Doench
Meredith Doench
Over the past few years there has been a lot of attention given to the amount of women, or lack thereof, in the publishing world. Statistics provided by the 2013 Vida Count show that not only should those numbers be much stronger, but so should the representations of women and their variations of sexuality in published works. Roxane Gay writes in the introduction to her 2014 book, Bad Feminist: Essays, “Movies, more often than not, tell the stories of men as if men’s stories are the only stories that matter. When women are involved, they are the sidekicks, the …

This I Believe: The Do-Over, Meredith Doench
Meredith Doench
I believe in second chances. Even thirds. There’s nothing like the power of a sincere do-over.
As a junior and senior high student, school was never my forte. It wasn’t for lack of effort on my parents’ part—my mother had been a fourth grade teacher and my father, a doctor, worked hard to keep me in one of the best districts in our area. Still, I bucked most school activities. Study groups? No way. Extra-curriculars? Not unless my friends were doing it. Math club? Please!
My junior year I fell into an anxious depression so severe, I required hospitalization. All …

Veterans As Adult Learners In Composition Courses, Michelle Navarre Cleary, Kathryn Wozniak
Kathryn Wozniak
Considering veterans in the context of research on adult and nontraditional students in college writing classes, this article proposes Malcolm Knowles’s six principles for adult learning as an asset-based heuristic for investigating how writing programs and writing teachers might build upon existing resources to support veteran students.

Archives Alive!: Adding Scalability To Digital Humanities Scholarship, Undergraduate Engagement, And Librarian/Faculty Collaboration, Tom Keegan, Jennifer Wolfe
Tom Keegan
This presentation includes the results of a collaboration between library staff and IDEAL (Iowa Digital Engagement and Learning) faculty that extends a manuscript transcription crowd-sourcing project, DIY History, into the undergraduate classroom. Archives Alive!, a month-long curriculum module for freshmen Rhetoric students, uses DIY History to teach research, writing, and presentation skills through a series of digitally-engaged tasks. Students not only work with primary source materials, but become part of the collaborative effort to build and enhance them. Piloted in 2013 with two courses, the project has grown to nearly 20 classes totaling 400 students. Scalable, interdisciplinary, and open access, …

How To Teach Grammar, Michelle Navarre Cleary
How To Teach Grammar, Michelle Navarre Cleary

Depending on your age, you may have been taught grammar through memorization and diagramming sentences. Kathleen Dunn talks with an educator who says that to instill better grammar, we should encourage more reading and writing.
The Wrong Way To Teach Grammar, Michelle Navarre Cleary
The Wrong Way To Teach Grammar, Michelle Navarre Cleary
Michelle Navarre Cleary
A century of research shows that traditional grammar lessons—those hours spent diagramming sentences and memorizing parts of speech—don’t help and may even hinder students’ efforts to become better writers. Yes, they need to learn grammar, but the old-fashioned way does not work.

On Creating A Satellite Digital Archives Of Literacy Narratives: The Stories We Tell, John Scenters-Zapico, Lou Herman, Kate Mangelsdorf, Lindsay Hamilton

In this essay we will first discuss the way we situate literacies into the vision of the Digital Archives of Literacy Narratives (DALN), based at Ohio St. . Next, we discuss the process of creating our local small DALN so that readers in other locations can use what we have done. Finally, we share some of the places we have interviewed and filmed narratives as well as the processes that allowed us to access, or not, these audiences.
