“Scary” heterosexualities in a rural Australian mining town
No full textThis paper draws upon Hubbard's (1999, p. 57) term ‘scary heterosexualities,’ that is non-normative heterosexuality, in the context of the rural drawing on data from fieldwork in the remote Western Australian mining town of Kalgoorlie. Our focus is ‘the skimpie’ – a female barmaid who serves in her underwear and who, in both historical and contemporary times, is strongly associated with rural mining communities. Interviews with skimpies and local residents as well as participant observation reveal how potential fears and anxieties about skimpies are managed. We identify the discursive and spatial processes by which skimpie work is contained in Kalgoorlie so that the potential scariness ‘the skimpie’ represents to the rural is muted and buttressed in terms of a more conventional and less threatening rural heterosexuality

Violence in Artwork: A Unit of Study within the Art Classroom
No full textViolence is an issue that is experienced everyday by our youth. Rather than being disposed of properly, children often have no outlet in which to express feelings related to these issues, and as a result, violence becomes suppressed, under-reported, and glorifiedby our media. Art educators could take on the important role of bringing issues of violence into the art education classroom. This study first examines the meaning of violence, and brings forth current statistics on common forms of violence. Secondly, thestudy leads into the important points of why art educators could bring issues of violence into the classroom, and emphasizes the significance of discourse surrounding violence forbetter understanding. The study also examines professional artists that have addressed issues of violence within their works related to the unit of study. This research will contribute to further understanding of the importance of addressing violence within theart education classroom.Thesis (M.A.) California State University, Los Angeles, 2011Committee members: Barbara Boyer, Mika Cho, Abbas Daneshvar

'A date with Barbara': paracosms of the self in biographies of Barbara Newhall Follett
No full textIn 1927, 13-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett published her first book, the critically acclaimed novel, The House Without Windows and Eepersip's Life There.
Twelve years later, on December 7, 1939, 25-year-old Barbara quarrelled with her husband and left her apartment in Boston with $30 in her pocket, and a notebook. She was never seen again.
The House Without Windows is set in a paracosm (Farksolia) she invented, and ends with the metamorphosis of the titular character into a 'fairy-a wood nymph … invisible for ever to all mortals, save those few who have minds to believe, eyes to see'.
In Barbara's (auto)biography, The Unconscious Autobiography of a Child Genius (1966), written by Harold Grier McCurdy 'in collaboration with Helen Follett' (Barbara's mother), the authors wonder: 'Can we be far wrong in substituting Barbara's name for Eepersip's in the closing scenes of [House Without Windows]?
In this paper, I grapple with the formal and ethical challenges of writing about Barbara Newhall Follett, and the ways her family and others have approached the problem of writing her unresolved life story: a child raised and educated in solitude, a celebrated 'natural' child author, a young woman whose disappearance remains unsolved. The paper will explore the ways in which adults write the stories of children's lives, as nostalgia and fable, as fairytale and paracosmic narrative, and the ways in which Barbara's biographers have, consciously and unconsciously, created biographical concordances, or paracosms of the self, in seeking to make meaning of her life's story
