▼ This thesis examines the Asian American chick lit genre and explores the ways in which Asian American chick lit writers negotiate their racialized position writing in the margins of the normatively white mainstream chick lit genre. Asian American chick lit texts provide critical insight into how ethnicity is commercialized and commodified for mainstream consumption and articulate the complex ways in which Asian Americans have been racialized and gendered. This thesis continues the work conducted on women?s cultural productions published in the 1980s by Janice Radway and Tania Modleski, as well as contemporary studies on chick lit by scholars such as Suzanne Ferriss, Mallory Young, and Caroline Smith. However, my work differs critically from these studies in its focus on issues of race and ethnicity within the genre. While Radway and Modleski were influential in challenging myths about popular women?s narratives, their studies mainly focused on middle-class, white women. The same is true with recent scholarly publications on chick lit. To engage with issues of race, ethnicity, and gender in Asian American chick lit texts, this thesis explores the construction and articulation of ?foodways? in Asian American chick lit. I contend that the way Asian American chick lit protagonists perceive, consume, and create food is analogous to the ways in which mainstream (white) chick lit protagonists perceive, consume, and select material items such as clothes and accessories. The popularity of ?food pornography? as a practice of Asian American authors and as a source of pleasure for white readers illustrates how Asian Americans have adapted melancholically to their exclusion from America by producing ethnic products for consumption and how the white majority, in turn, has responded by melancholically consuming these ethnic products. Thus, my analysis of foodways is theoretically informed by Anne Cheng?s psychoanalytic critique of racialization in the U.S. and is situated in the discourses of Asian American studies, food studies, and gender studies. The texts I examine in this thesis include Kim Wong Keltner?s The Dim Sum of All Things and Buddha Baby in Chapter 1 and Amulya Malladi?s Serving Crazy with Curry in Chapter 2. Through an examination of Asian American chick lit texts, I argue that food is a productive site to articulate the contradictions within the genre, which texts both practice ?food pornography? and challenge the commodification of race and ethnicity. Furthermore, the consumption and rejection of food, as well as the creation of recipes, become a critical means for these Asian American chick lit protagonists to form their identities. Ultimately, this thesis posits that an examination of Asian American chick lit represents a critical step towards conceptualizing not only what the potential future of Asian American literature might be, but also in conceiving what the current subjectivity of the Asian American woman is now and what might be her future.

▼ Nine Night is a wake ritual that thrives among the Jamaican folk. It derives from wake rituals that were developed by enslaved Jamaicans. Jamaicans (re)produce cultural identity through Nine Night. The first part of this thesis investigates the development of Nine Night from slave wake rituals and demonstrates how the cultural (re)production of this ceremony has allowed enslaved, postemancipation, and postcolonial Jamaican blacks to negotiate subjectivity and resist Eurocentric historical and cultural hegemony. Sharon Patricia Holland s theoretical concept of the space of death will be used to demonstrate how Jamaican folk are linked through their disenfranchisement and social and economic marginalization. As a space of resistance and communal celebration, Nine Night empowers these poor blacks, allows them to pay homage to deceased kin and connect with their ancestors. The concept of Nine Night is based on an imagined magical superstructure that includes Christian and African elements and participants in the ceremony endeavor to satisfy the spirit of the departed. Nine Night enables poor Jamaicans to negotiate subjectivity by re-membering a fractured past, resisting cultural hegemony, and engaging in communal healing. The second part of this thesis features a close reading of Scott s play An Echo in the Bone through which I aim to explore the (re)production of Nine Night in the postemancipation and postcolonial contexts. Emphasizing how the space of death is inhabited by blacks from different time periods is integral to the understanding of Scott s play where Nine Night enables the black subjects to (re)produce a cultural identity. Scott s use of Nine Night in his innovative theatrical production demonstrates how the ceremony is emblematic of a Jamaican national culture. While many scholars have demonstrated the cultural significance of Scott s play, I intend to explore the important historical, economic and political critiques provided by the play.

▼ This study examines how empirical, political, and ontological techniques innovated within science studies provide new ways to understand Maya hieroglyphic decipherment. Practitioners of science studies have attended to how natural sciences operate as social, cultural, and material sites that condition and control how we know and represent the cosmos, biological bodies, and environments. Science studies scholars have paid comparatively little attention to the cultural and political consequences of historical knowledge production. I begin to fill this lacuna through an ethnographic and historical analysis of how experts and non-experts have established arguments for the status of Maya hieroglyphs as a fully functional writing system, a process that began in the 1970s. I argue that a science studies approach reveals Maya hieroglyphic decipherment as set of processes that has depended integrally on historically-specific public collaborations and imaging practices that abstract hieroglyphs from their material contexts. The specific approach to science studies that I employ integrates the object-oriented metaphysics of Bruno Latour with research into public engagement with science and postcolonial critiques of scientific knowledge. I show how decipherment achieved epistemic legitimacy through public workshops and imaging practices. Workshops at the University of Texas at Austin cultivated a collective of public witnesses through material practices that conveyed a sense that they were participating in a process of revealing historical truth. I compare the Austin setting with workshops conducted with Mayan-language-speaking linguists and activists in Antigua, Guatemala, which established a mutualism in which instructors and participants collaborated to consolidate the concept of a trans-historical Maya culture. I then trace how epigraphers have established their control over the concept of an underlying kernel of Maya culture by transforming hieroglyphs into objects that carry clearly intelligible ancient Maya voices from the past. Through the analysis of transforming interpretations of a single hieroglyph, I show how such historical narratives elide the local associations that enable hieroglyphs to acquire semantic values in the present. The study ultimately shows how hieroglyphic analysis requires a reduction of complex historical objects to contemporary concepts of writing and counterbalances this reduction with a care-oriented ethical consequentialism and an attachment-oriented epistemological realism.

▼ BUDDHISM AND THE PRODUCTION OF AMERICAN COOL By James F. Royal December 2009 Chair: Malini Schueller Major: English One of the most remarkable facets of capitalism is its ability to incorporate disparate, even antithetical, systems into its ever-enlarging sphere of influence, especially in the 20th and 21st centuries as technology makes the world interconnected. To make such a transformation, consumer capitalism has employed a discourse of 'cool' to rein in potentially threatening figures and ideologies and bring them back into the circuits of consumption. Especially ripe for analysis is the incorporation of Buddhism, since the creed is the fastest-growing of the world religions in the U.S. They key moment for its mobilization, the 1950s, occurred during a period of escalating tensions with communism, in which a flourishing consumer capitalism was touted as the way to defeat the U.S.S.R. During this period, representations of Buddhism entered pop culture as a challenge to mainstream consumerism. Yet, now representations of Buddhism support consumer capitalism, for instance, in ads and films. Thus, this dissertation seeks to understand how seemingly antithetical discourses can promote the proliferation of capitalism, and how political and capitalist imperatives can motivate representations of a foreign religion. This dissertation examines postwar figures who have used Buddhism in their cultural productions, although it highlights writers from earlier periods who framed Buddhism for later adoption. Such antecedents include Ralph Waldo Emerson, whose use of Buddhism for capitalist-imperialist ends set the stage for the work of Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. While the Beats deployed Buddhism in a way that perpetuated capitalist individualism, Gary Snyder seriously challenges the capitalist paradigm by incorporating the experience of Buddhist enlightenment in his poems. Charles Johnson deploys Buddhism as a means to connect African-Americans to a spiritual heritage that is resistant to the dominant capitalist paradigm. Whereas each of these figures ostensibly provided a critique of capitalism, later uses of the religion, in 1990s film and 2000s advertisement, show a Buddhism that is more overtly pro-capitalist, a move that reflects America's identity crisis in the post-Cold War, especially in its relationship with China, but also Asia generally. Throughout this era, the discourse of cool has tried to appropriate seemingly subversive elements back into the capitalist fold. ( en ) Advisors/Committee Members: Schueller, Malini J.

▼ In the Caribbean, tourism is the dominant industry and primary site of neocolonialism, and therefore it shapes economic realities along with national culture and identity. Caribbean writers and artists contend with the region?s overdependence on the tourist industry and address the many ways that tourism continues the legacy of colonialism. Thus, the influence of tourism over national arts and culture evokes strong reactions from artists and writers. They assert a spectrum of positions: while some artists work within the tourist economy to develop alternative models of tourism consistent with their conceptions of national identity and culture, others condemn the exploitative nature of tourism by exposing the strong continuities between the racial, sexual, and gender politics of slavery and colonialism and those of contemporary tourism. Their critiques of tourism as a form of neocolonialism are in accord with the dominant view of Caribbean scholars, such as Franz Fanon, Clive Thomas, Polly Pattullo, Mimi Sheller, Cynthia Enloe, and Ian Strachan. In order to reveal the importance of both tourism and diaspora in shaping Caribbean culture and identity, this project examines literature and activism by several Caribbean writers inside and outside the region. I interrogate contemporary Caribbean discourse, with a focus on resistance to neocolonialism found in Caribbean writers and intellectuals? direct engagement with tourism. While the location and mobility of Caribbean writers may inform their engagement, these writers, in similar ways, resist the dominant narratives of Caribbean tourism and create alternative narratives written from the perspective of the colonized, gendered, sexualized, and racialized subject. These writers are located in the region, such as Marion Bethel, Erna Brodber, and Oonya Kempadoo; they also live abroad, like Christian Campbell, Edwidge Danticat, and Jamaica Kincaid, and include second-generation Caribbean American writers, such as Audre Lorde and Paule Marshall. Critical perspectives and new models constitute effective forms of resistance by influencing the vision and practice of Caribbean tourism. Overall, Caribbean writers illustrate what Caribbean scholars have also argued?that the histories of slavery and colonialism are intimately bound to economics, movement, and representation in the neocolonial present.

▼ This dissertation focuses on autobiographical texts written by incarcerated women in the United States, a growing body of literature that raises critical questions about one of the primary institutions of our time: the American prison, and that encourages us to think persistently and progressively about many of our nation?s most complex social issues?poverty, racism, abuse, and gender inequalities among them. I take as my point of entry how the experience of incarceration contributes to and reformulates theorizations of female subjectivity in women?s autobiography studies and beyond. This includes an examination of how a number of writers employ the autobiographical to assert their identities, detail conditions of their confinement, and contest varied forms of subjection at work in many correctional facilities. My project is situated in autobiography and literary studies, and yet is also interdisciplinary by nature, utilizing theories proposed in criminology, sociology, African American feminist thought, and women?s studies to advance a reading of these narratives and many of the socio-political concerns they speak most readily to. I explore how subjectivity, identity, and resistance are conceptualized in these texts throughout my dissertation, with focused examination of how specific forms of disciplinary regimen can inform and impede one?s sense of selfhood and autonomy. I argue that autobiographical writings by incarcerated women complicate and clarify many findings surrounding subjectivity and issues of subject construction by drawing attention to how these writers have come to understand themselves as individuals within highly contested physical and political spaces. Specific chapters focus on such areas as how Angela Davis and Assata Shakur challenge racialized representations of black criminality and resistance in their texts; the gendered manner in which women?s bodies are constructed, regulated, and shaped in penal environments; and the potential for violence to fracture one?s sense of autonomy and further complicate struggles toward self-determinism for incarcerated women and juvenile girls. I conclude my study by returning to an undercurrent of this project: the varied costs of mass incarceration, and the possibilities for critical studies of the prison and prison literature to productively intervene into our current use and reading of the criminal justice system.
