Abstract/Description
Yesterday Will Come is a hybrid collection of linked short stories that focuses on the way a particular family passes down the family history through physical and emotional memories.

Show moreYesterday Will Come is a hybrid collection of linked short stories that focuses on the way a particular family passes down the family history through physical and emotional memories. The collection largely focuses on the process of making and preserving memories and how the lack of control over one’s memory can lead to paranoia and displacement in their life. Particular value is attached to certain memories and the value and emotion attached can at times overwrite the actual content of the memory. The stories center around the Riviera family and particularly Ana Riviera’s life as she considers the many aspects of her family history she continues to inherit and the comfort and paranoia she associates with such inheritance.

Creator
Prawl, Alyssa, Kini, Ashvin R., Florida Atlantic University, Department of English, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
Abstract/Description
The aim of this thesis is to examine biracial family-building and the reimagination of the ideal home in post-WWII English literature using Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia and Zadie Smith’s White Teeth. Focusing on biracial children of both the Caribbean and South Asian diasporas, this thesis explores the nuances with which black self-identification is curated and how blackness as both a racial and social category in the UK is prescribed and performed depending on the Black and Brown...
Show moreThe aim of this thesis is to examine biracial family-building and the reimagination of the ideal home in post-WWII English literature using Hanif Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia and Zadie Smith’s White Teeth. Focusing on biracial children of both the Caribbean and South Asian diasporas, this thesis explores the nuances with which black self-identification is curated and how blackness as both a racial and social category in the UK is prescribed and performed depending on the Black and Brown biracial characters’ social location to white characters and family units. Mark Christian’s Mulitracial Identity: An International Perspective and Zygmunt Bauman’s Modernity and Ambivalence operate as lenses to better understand the social classification of mixed-families individuals as strangers in England and how biracial individuals are strangers to their families and respective homelands. This thesis will also argue that Black biracial women’s identity-building is oftentimes more stifled in England than their South Asian male counterparts as it is dependent on a reconciliation with their family’s erased past.

Show moreThis thesis takes a cultural studies approach to representations of post-war U.S. suburbia in Richard Yates’ 1961 novel Revolutionary Road, as well as in the contemporary AMC television series Mad Men. These texts explore the postwar time period, which holds a persistently prominent and idealized space in the collective cultural imagination of America, despite the fact that it was a period troubled by isolationism, containment culture, rampant consumerism, and extreme pressure to conform to social roles. This project disrupts the romantic narrative of postwar America by focusing on the latent anxiety within the suburban landscape—by interrogating the performative nature of the planned communities of the 1950s and 1960s and exposing the tensions that were borne out of the rise of domesticity and consumerism. This project explores the descent into a society obsessed with consumerism and conformity, and seeks to interrogate the culture’s false nostalgia for the time period.

Moving Ever Forward: Reading the Significance of Motion and Space as a Representation of Trauma in Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon and Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad

Richmond, Samantha, Furman, Andrew, Florida Atlantic University, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of English
Abstract/Description
This thesis argues that three models of trauma theory, which include traditional trauma theory, postcolonial trauma theory, and cultural trauma theory, must be joined to fully understand the trauma experienced by African Americans within the novels Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison and The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. By implementing these three theories, we can see how each novel’s main character is exploring and learning about African American trauma and better understand how an...
Show moreThis thesis argues that three models of trauma theory, which include traditional trauma theory, postcolonial trauma theory, and cultural trauma theory, must be joined to fully understand the trauma experienced by African Americans within the novels Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison and The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. By implementing these three theories, we can see how each novel’s main character is exploring and learning about African American trauma and better understand how an adjustment of space and time creates the possibility for the implementation of trauma theory. Each novel presents a journey, and it is through this movement through space that each character can serve as a witness to African American trauma. This is done in Morrison’s text by condensing the geographical space of the American north and south into one town, which serves to pluralize African American culture. In Whitehead’s text, American history is removed from its chronological place, which creates a duality that instills Freud’s theory of the uncanny within both the character and the reader.
