Charles Dickens and Edwin Drood: the death of the author, the rise of the reader
No full textOn June 9, 1870, Charles Dickens died, leaving his last novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, half completed. For decades, readers and scholars have speculated about what Dickens intended for the second half of this novel. I argue that the both Dickens and Edwin Drood have extended afterlives due to the incomplete nature of this novel: readers return to Dickens's career and his other novels in order to try to determine the fate of Edwin Drood. The case of Drood shows us that the author is not dead; Dickens stays very much alive in the continuations whether the writers of continuations choose to include him in their interpretations or whether they decide to exclude him from their interpretations but or pay homage to his writing style. Either way, Dickens is a part of the novel and its afterlives, even though other people have picked up their pens to finish what he began
Mathematical Caring Relations in Action
No full textIn a small-scale, 8-month teaching experiment, the author aimed to establish and maintain mathematical caring relations (MCRs) (Hackenberg, 2005c) with 4 6th-grade students. From a teacher's perspective, establishing MCRs involves holding the work of orchestrating mathematical learning for students together with an orientation to monitor and respond to energetic fluctuations that may accompany student–teacher interactions. From a student's perspective, participating in an MCR involves some openness to the teacher's interventions in the student's mathematical activity and some willingness to pursue questions of interest. In this article, the author elucidates the nature of establishing MCRs with 2 of the 4 students in the study and examines what is mathematical about these caring relations. Analysis revealed that student–teacher interaction can be viewed as a linked chain of perturbations; in student–teacher interaction aimed toward the establishment of MCRs, the linked chain tends toward perturbations that are bearable (Tzur, 1995) for both students and teachers

Haruki Murakami's 1Q84: Reclaiming Agency through the Collaborative Disability Narrative Air Chrysalis
No full textThis thesis explores the healing process of collaborative life writing in in Haruki Murakami's novel 1Q84 (2012). Looking at Fuka-Eri's embedded story in the novel, titled Air Chrysalis, through a disability studies lens, I examine how Fuka-Eri, Tengo, and Aomame co-construct and deconstruct the collaborative disability narrative in ways that help them to discern reality from fiction in the quixotic world of 1Q84, and also allow them to cope with their memories and trauma. Drawing on Lennard Davis's theory of dismodernism and David Rose and Anne Meyer's universal design for learning, I focus on the life narrative's impact in constructing spaces of healing and in fostering authority of the self and the other as a resistance against the standard norms of dominant traditional institutions and society. I examine how the characters' co-authorship process of editing Air Chrysalis helps them to accept both the possibility and impossibility of authentic truth. I complete my exploration by investigating how the participatory reader's literacy process also affects—even helps to write—the collaborative disability narrative. I argue that through the process of life writing collaborative disability narratives like Air Chrysalis, the characters, author, editor, and reader can all reclaim agency and their identities by learning to embrace dismodernism through the disciplines of universal design for learning.https://doi.org/10.46569/20.500.12680/2801pp41
'Nicely Boiled and Scraped': Medicine, Radicalism, and the "Useful Body" in a Lloyd Penny Blood
No full textThe publisher Edward Lloyd (1815-1890) helped shape Victorian popular culture in waysthat have left a legacy that lasts right up to today. He was a major pioneer of both popular fiction and journalism but has never received extended scholarly investigation until now. Lloydshaped the modern popular press: Lloyd’s Weekly Newspaper became the first paper to sell over a million copies. Along with publishing songs and broadsides, Lloyd dominated the fiction market in the early Victorian period issuing Gothic stories such as Varney the Vampire (1845-7) and other ’penny dreadfuls’, which became bestsellers. Lloyd’s publications introduced the enduring figure of Sweeney Todd whilst his authors penned plagiarisms of Dickens’s novels, such as Oliver Twiss (1838-9). Many readers in the early Victorian period may have been as likely to have encountered the author of Pickwick in a Lloyd-published plagiarism as in the pages of the original author. This book makes us rethink the early reception of Dickens. In this interdisciplinary collection, leading scholars explore the world of Edward Lloyd and his stable of writers, such as Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer. The Lloyd brand shaped popular taste in the age of Dickens and the Chartists. Edward Lloyd and his World fills a major gap in the histories of popular fiction and journalism, whilst developing links with Victorian politics, theatre and music
Buffy Summers: challenging the traditional hero
No full textBuffy the Vampire Slayer is a seven-season long meditation on heroism. Central hero, Buffy Summers, challenges long-established structures that traditionally signify the hero, engaging ethics that reject a strict binary of black and white thinking. Most strikingly, Buffy relies on a band of friends in ways that move these characters well beyond the position of the traditional sidekick. Buffy's death at the end of Season Five creates a void that the series' writers use during Seasons Six and Seven to construct a new model of heroism for the new millennium. Following Buffy's resurrection from the dead at the start of Season Six, the final two seasons of Buffy deconstruct the model of the traditional hero as a means to understand its limitations as well as its strengths. In Season Seven, Buffy completely redefines the show's mythology, overtly relinquishing the mantel of Slayer, dispersing her power, and forming a new vision of collective heroism. Through Buffy's bold move to realign heroism to include multiple heroes, the Buffy series' writers suggest that heroism in the new millennium must be a shared endeavor

The working-girl romance: Jane Eyre to working girl
No full textThis study argues that Charlotte Bronte's canonical romance novel Jane Eyre (1847) centrally shapes and informs the class-based gender ideologies and narrative structures of the "working-girl romance." In Jane Eyre, govemessing Jane dissolves the romance's conventionally conservative courtly love plot and refashions the genre into a tale that employs multiple generic modes in order to crystallize the inequities and instabilities rising between the sexes and classes in the nineteenth century. In this way, Jane Eyre significantly contributes to a growing feminist discourse which champions modem women's work, creative subjectivity, and autonomy. Working-girl Jane's active readings and artful writings of both self and culture are later repeated, adapted, and revised in popular twentieth century working-girl romances such as Robert Carlton Brown's What Happened to Mary (1913), Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca (1938), Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman o f Substance (1979), and Mike Nichols's film Working Girl (1988)
