Choking Hazards, Naomi Shuyama, Naomi Shuyama 2020 Seton Hall University

Choking Hazards, Naomi Shuyama, Naomi Shuyama

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

"Choking Hazards" is a collection of three short stories and a poem. Identity, whether national or personal relies on a collective imagination formulated from both facts and fiction. Thus, the relationship of truth is equally indebted to history and invention.

Though we only have our own limited knowledge of the self, we can find other selves through literature. Grappling with these old selves and their histories is a centripetal process, where bodies, their limitations, coded interactions and social constructions cannot be …


Encumbered By Stage Fright Or I’M Not Sure Why I Did That, Chris Scott 2020 Washington University in St. Louis

Encumbered By Stage Fright Or I’M Not Sure Why I Did That, Chris Scott

Graduate School of Art Theses

Through this lens of storytelling I delve into a few artists, like Bruce Nauman, and rock and roll musicians, like Lou Reed, who I have been unable …

Another Perspective: Telling The Hero’S Story Without The Hero, Renee Hopper

Can a YA story be effectively told through the lenses of side characters that typically exist to further the main character’s plot? What gives a side character agency?
