▼ Missing Miami: Anti-Blackness and the Making of the South Florida Myth presents an investigation of Miami, Florida’s cultural topography, with specific attention to how anti-Blackness has shaped the city. In this dissertation, I problematize narratives of Miami as a diverse, immigrant-friendly, and global city by analyzing state-sanctioned disenfranchisement of Afro-descended inhabitants. I have structured this project around the following questions: What circumstances, issues, and cultures shape the city, its inhabitants, and representations? What is at stake in the overabundance of descriptions of Miami as “diverse,” “not Southern,” “Caribbean,” “Latin American”? What do these descriptors reveal about the city’s racial politics and cultural climate? What do they hide? The answers to these questions shore up my argument that the construction of Miami as a diverse extension of the Caribbean and/or Latin America validates narratives of the US as an inclusive nation and belies the global prevalence of anti-blackness. Missing Miami draws on and departs from work in literary and cultural studies, cultural geography, critical race theory, migrant studies, and Afro-Diasporic studies to complicate the celebration of Miami’s demographic. In particular, this project pinpoints a popular and scholarly tendency to displace widespread iterations of racism, xenophobia, and other similarly repressive ideologies onto allegedly “racist,” “backward,” and “unsafe” regions, i.e., the mythic South. I suggest that the myths of Miami’s inclusivity and the exclusionary South are codependent, and that the constitution of Miami as an inclusive space is necessarily dependent on the erasure of ongoing anti-Blackness that is disproportionately displaced onto the South. Rather than seeking to define, or categorize, Miami as either Southern or Caribbean, my project aims to investigate how authors, journalists, and filmmakers both reify and write against claims of Miami’s diversity. I focus on representations of Afro-Diasporic populations set in Miami ranging from the 1950s to the 2000s. My methodological approach, which uses Miami as a microcosm to discuss transnational racial hierarchies, facilitates an intersectional analysis of cross cultural interaction, and tension, and treats antiblackness as not only a global phenomenon, but also a transnational problem.

▼ In this study, I analyze Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas and Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis, La amortajada and The Shrouded Woman by María Luisa Bombal, Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Páramo, and João Guimarães Rosa’s Grande Sertão: Veredas. The common theme of death and the solitary narrator/protagonist strengthens the links between Brazilian and Spanish American narrative traditions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This study examines the way in which death functions as a literary trope that destroys the concept of the traditional reader and reconstructs him/her as an integral participant in the creation of the narrative. Relying on Barthes’s concept of “writerly” texts, I apply Wolfgang Iser’s theory of aesthetic response and Roberto González Echevarría’s theory of the Archive to explore the ways in which death appears in primarily first-person narratives in which the narrator/protagonist has either died and speaks/writes from the grave, or remains the only living character of the narrative. In each work, the reader is expected to abandon the conventions of literary realism by engaging the narrator/protagonist in a metafictional space within the narrative itself. As the reader enters the texts, s/he is encouraged to reevaluate the society represented in the narrative, as it is filtered through the narrator’s lens of death. This lens strips away the conventional wisdom and hegemonic discourse of the society portrayed in the novels. Each of the novels in this study presents its social order from a different perspective, but the common element of each work is the awakening that the narrator experiences through his or her association with death. In each of the works, the reader must “fill in” missing pieces of the text or decipher the speech acts of marginalized characters in order to understand the position and perspective of the narrator/protagonist. By doing so, the traditional reader “dies” as a newly constructed, more engaged reader is created.

▼ This project links the modern American environmental movement, typically thought to have its origins in the social upheaval of the 1970’s, with the earlier postwar period. I argue that the same domestic “turn” which characterized the expanding middle class’s movement toward the suburbs, automobile culture, and other hallmarks of the modern lifestyle paralleled a new belief that modern technology, armed with such innovations as the atomic bomb, had once and for all conquered—or “domesticated”—nature. This new perceived condition generated a powerful anxiety about the role of science in society which is reflected in the literature of the period, taking forms as diverse as cinematic fantasies of mutant insects taking ecological revenge on human cities, pedagogical texts which advised parents to help their children reconnect to the natural world, and wildly popular books and films which used modern photographic techniques to reveal the nebulous depths of the world’s oceans. Most importantly, this popular interest laid the groundwork for environmentalism to be understood as a matter of consumer choice and individual behavior. This project engages at length the work of Rachel Carson, whose 1962 bestseller Silent Spring is often cited as the beginning of modern environmentalist thought, but uses Carson’s writing as a lens for reading early environmentalism in a variety of texts and genres. I also consult children’s texts such as Charlotte’s Web, childcare manuals, science fiction films and novels, popular science writing, fictional accounts of suburban life, contemporary social criticism, cartoons, and advertisements to understand, broadly, the dimensions of the environmental impulse. My work is driven by the assumption, garnered from social theorists such as Michel de Certeau, that readers’ consumption of these popular genres, the stuff of everyday life, not only gives vital insight into the ideas which govern historical change, but also, in subtle ways, helps to shape it. Advisors/Committee Members: David Wood (committee member), Teresa Goddu (committee member), Cecelia Tichi (committee member), Michael Kreyling (Committee Chair), Vera Kutzinski (Committee Chair).
