Ivonette Wright Miller and Harold Stuart Miller Interview on 1913 Dayton Flood and First Flight
No full textThis video presents an extended oral history interview with Ivonette Wright Miller, niece of Orville and Wilbur Wright, and her husband, Harold Stuart Miller, focusing on their firsthand experiences during and after the catastrophic 1913 Dayton Flood and on Miller’s personal recollections of the Wright family. The interview was conducted by Brian, Joe, and Tracy Jayne, whose last names are unknown. The interview offers detailed accounts of community life in Dayton before the flood, rescue efforts in the Riverdale area, the immediate aftermath and cleanup, and the collective civic response that led to the creation of the Miami Conservancy District. Interwoven with these memories are Ivonette Wright Miller’s reflections on family life with the Wright brothers, including her vivid recollection of flying with Orville Wright in 1911 at the age of fifteen and her observations on the brothers’ personalities, ingenuity, and family relationships. Together, these narratives provide valuable personal insight into both a defining moment in Dayton’s social history and the private world of the Wright family

Miller, a World War I aviator in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, reflecting on his military service, training, and experiences as a pilot.

Harold Pinter and the Performance of Power: Considerations of Affect in Select Plays, Screenplays and Films, Poetry and Political Speeches
No full textThis thesis looks at selections of Harold Pinter's work across multiple media: written dramatic texts, screenplays and poetry, activity in theatrical and film production and his political activism. It has been argued that Pinter's dramatic medium is exceeded by movements, intensities and
forces that operate on and circulate within the corporeal bodies of Pinter's 'audiences'. However, approaches to Pinter to date remain overly focused on representation and hermeneutics and tied to a decidedly idealist conception of being, perception and knowledge. I argue that in order to
appreciate the politics of Pinter's aesthetics, readings of Pinter's work need to move in a more decidedly materialist direction. To do so, I enlist the conceptual tools of Gilles Deleuze and felix Guattari, specifically 'affect'. In bringing affect theory to Pinter I illustrate how 'the direct, mutual involvement of language and extra-linguistic forces,1 must be taken into account at every
critical step, and that meaning need be construed as a material process, the expression of forces
acting upon each other. The diversity of Pinter's work is explored over six chapters with a view to its aesthetic disposition and function, how it enters into noteworthy relations with those who engage with it, and how it establishes conditions that are propitious for transitory but ultimately productive trans formative encounters. Proceeding as such necessitates appraisal of ethical and
political positions in relation to Pinter's expression without distinguishing politics from aesthetics - a trend common to intellectual enterprise. Rather, the three keywords in the title of this thesis - performance, power and affect - function as concepts to advance the argument for Pinter's aesthetics as a politics. In considering the aesthetics of Pinter's work in varied media, this thesis invites the reader to see the strategies by which Pinter intervenes in each area as interrelated and political
