Oral memoirs of Roger Ellison: an interview conducted on April 9, 2020
No full textIncludes interview transcript.contained in: George Ricks Memorial World War II Oral History ArchiveRoger Ellison relates a number of anecdotes relating to the World War II service of his father Tom D Ellison (1925-2018). Tom D Ellison enlisted with the U.S. Navy in 1942 at the young age of 17. After training in Farragut, Idaho, he was stationed at Dunkeswell base in England, where he primarily worked as a mechanic on submarine-hunting P4BYs. One story includes a severe storm that swept away all of the armaments on board of his ship. While in England, Tom D Ellison met and married Jean Lewis, a member of the British Land Army. Following the end of the war, Ellison had to plead with his commanding officer for time to escort his pregnant wife to his hometown of Sierra Blanca, Texas. Ellison was then shipped to Japan as part of a Catalina crew until his service ended in 1946.San Angelo Area Foundatio
Evaluation of new diagnostic and treatment strategies in the management of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
No full textIncludes bibliography.Despite major advances over the last two decades with the management of patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (ZES), unanswered questions remain concerning the natural history of the disease, the impact of new diagnostics modalities on cure rates, and the role of surgery in the era of modem medical therapies. The aims of the thesis are to (i) analyse the database of 40 ZES patients treated at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) over two decades, with special reference to the impact of various surgical strategies on outcome, (ii) investigate a possible correlation between biological tissue marker expression and tumour behaviour, (iii) study the effect of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) on surgical cure rates, and (iv) assess the efficacy and safety of a new proton pump inhibitor (pantoprazole) in controlling acid hypersecretion
Ralph Ellison and the American Pursuit of Humanism
No full textIn the middle of a 1945 review of Bucklin Moon's Primer for White Folks, Ralph Ellison proclaims that the time is right in the United States for a "new American humanism." Through exhaustive research in Ralph Ellison's Papers at the Library of Congress, I contextualize Ellison's grand proclamation within post-World War II American debates over literary criticism, Modernism, sociological method, and finally United States political and cultural history. I see Ellison's "American humanism" as a revitalization of the Latin notion of litterae humaniores that draws heavily on Gilded Age American literature and philosophy. For Ellison, American artists and intellectuals of that period were grappling with the country's primary quandary after the Civil War: an inability to reconcile America's progressive vision of humanism with the legacy left by chattel slavery and anti-black racism. He saw writers like Mark Twain, Stephan Crane, Henry James, George Washington Cable and others attempting to represent a different version of the human in literature while confronting the various forces that the Civil War unleashed upon American life.As the Cold War and Civil Rights era reached their crescendo, Ellison's attachment to the Gilded Age ossified. By the late 60s, it took the romantic form of aesthetic and political conservatism. This process is part of his participation in what Francis Saunders called the "Cultural Cold War" against communism. For many - including Ellison - this participation made their aesthetic investment in modernism commensurate with their anti-communist ideology. In foregrounding the Cold War, I want to emphasize that the US State's intervention into the sphere of culture is a watershed moment in America's conceptualization of Western humanism. The CIA and the State Department's role in funding academic literary and cultural periodicals, art festivals, fellowships and other institutions of knowledge during the Cold War is a chapter of American intellectual life that shaped Ellison's world as well as those of his contemporaries. Just as importantly, this moment illuminates the key roles African-American intellectuals played in America's pursuit of humanism

Transforming Action: Kenneth Burke and Ralph Ellison Out of the 1930s
No full textThis dissertation connects Kenneth Burke and Ralph Ellison in the context of a radical 1930s culture through their shared term "action" and explains the prominent appearance of "action" in Invisible Man as a vestige of Ellison's radical beginnings. Chapters clarify the emergence of Burke's and Ellison's writings in the 1930s, cluster appearances of "action" in relation to other key terms, assess political motives, and counter readings and appropriations of their work that ignore, reduce, or redirect such political elements. Attending particularly to Burke's first editions of Permanence and Change and Attitudes toward History, as well as to uncollected writings in the period, the dissertation draws out Burke's "communistic" attitude, commitments to organized politics as a literary and rhetorical critic, and wariness toward American philosophical pragmatism and John Dewey. It traces radical concerns and tropes from Ellison's early writings to drafts of his novel and places Ellison's positive reception of Burke's paper at the third American Writers' Congress in 1939 alongside the influence of Richard Wright and Langston Hughes. The dissertation argues that Burke and Ellison conceived themselves as cultural participants in a project to transform social relations and shows how recent scholarship concerning these writers, especially work seeking to claim them from a neopragmatist perspective, domesticates markers of their 1930s political imaginary

Introduction - An Englishwoman in a Turkish Harem
No full textGrace Ellison (d. 1935) actively encouraged dialogues between Turkish and British women at the outset of the twentieth century. Connected with progressive Ottoman elites discussing female and social emancipation, Ellison stayed in an Ottoman harem. Working as a respected journalist, she published articles about British-Turkish relations, Turkish nationalism, and the status of women across cultures. This book recounts Ellison’s stay with her friend Fâtima and features reports on motherhood, employment, polygamy, slavery, harem life, modernization, veiling, and prominent women writers. Despite an impressive legacy, Ellison and her work have almost disappeared from the historical record; the republication of this 1915 work aims to address this neglect
