Barely Bonded: Affective Politics And The Gendered Struggle For Water In Villa El Salvador, Lima, Peru, Kyle Woolley, Kelly Moore

Sociology and Criminology Department Faculty Works

Affect is increasingly understood as a critical element of political life and collective action in Latin America and elsewhere.

Reframing Disability Through An Ecocritical Perspective In Sara Mesa'a Cara De Pan, Maryanne L. Leone Jan 2019

Reframing Disability Through An Ecocritical Perspective In Sara Mesa'a Cara De Pan, Maryanne L. Leone

Modern and Classical Languages and Cultures Department Faculty Works

This article establishes a dialogue between disability studies and ecocriticism to analyze Sara Mesa’s novel Cara de pan (2018), which narrates the relationship between a thirteen-year-old girl bullied at school and a fifty-four-year-old man with an atypical appearance who fixates on limited topics. The analysis examines the hegemony of normativity and dominant social narratives about disability, gender, and sexuality. Grounded in the idea that people with disabilities actively intervene in their environment, the essay argues that the characters’ environmental empathy supports the need for a diversity of experiences and perspectives, positively resituating disability and autism.

"We Should See Certain Things Yet, Let Us Hope And Believe": Technology, Sex, And Politics In Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee, Bernard J. Dobski, Benjamin A. Kleinerman Jan 2007

"We Should See Certain Things Yet, Let Us Hope And Believe": Technology, Sex, And Politics In Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee, Bernard J. Dobski, Benjamin A. Kleinerman

Political Science Department Faculty Works

Through his modern "Yankee," Mark Twain reveals to his readers the underlying desire to overcome the very material world he seems to want to instantiate.
