"Demystification of the Myth of Freedom in the Characterization of Christopher McCandless in Krakauer’s Into The Wild." NOBEL: Journal of Literature and Language Teaching 10, no. 1 (April 30, 2019): 01–14. http://dx.doi.org/10.15642/nobel.2019.10.1.01-14.

Abstract:

While Krakauer’s Into The Wild depicts McCandless’ flee from society to live in the wild, many reviews argue that McCandless was not really a kind of person who finds freedom in nature. The present study will investigate further the surface characterizations of McCandless as freedom chaser with the plot development to fill the gap between McCandless’ characterizations and the myth of freedom that he chases. By applying Barthes’ mythology, the study reveals that McCandless was described as an adventurer, immaterialist, and loner. However, the plot development reveals that as a person who sought an adventure in nature, McCandless would deal with water, but knowing that he had fear of water, it is contradictive with his characterization as an adventurer. As a person who rejected capitalism and materialist society, he was found working at McDonald's for having money in which both McDonalds and money are symbols of capitalism and materialistic society. As a person who spent his time mostly alone and intended to be alone in Alaska, he was a lonely person after all. Thus these contradictions demystify the myth of freedom that McCandless chases.

Abstract:

In his nonfiction biography of Christopher McCandless, Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer uses a plethora of references to Henry D. Thoreau. In this article I analyze Krakauer’s use of Thoreau’s economic ideas, liberalism, and view of nature and wilderness. I argue that Krakauer blurs a pragmatic understanding of Thoreau and uses techniques of fiction to create an appealing story and characterize McCandless as a latter-day Thoreauvian transcendentalist. By doing so, Krakauer explains and defends the protagonist’s actions from criticism, thereby making him appear as a character whose story is exceptional. Although the characterization of the protagonist as a follower of Thoreauvian ideals by means of a partial interpretation of Thoreau does not provide us with a better understanding of McCandless’s life, Krakauer’s extensive research and the critical self-reflection in the text produces a compelling nonfiction narrative. Moreover, the romantic image of Thoreau advanced by Krakauer reflects the preoccupations and issues that concerned Krakauer, or at least his times. Particularly, it reflects Krakauer’s own ideas concerning the negative effects of materialism on both ourselves and the natural world.

Abstract:

In spite of technological advances and refinements brought about through computerization and other developments, not much has changed in the discourses of stage lighting in North America since Stanley McCandless invented naturalistic forty-five-degree/forty-five-degree area lighting in the 1930s.1 Some seventy years later, although McCandless’s principles, originally articulated for the new theatre at Yale in 1926, have been extended to apply to Broadway, thrust and other stages, lighting design discourse and training still tend to privilege naturalism, the construction of unified psychological “character” as the basic unit of theatrical representation and the construction of actors as the “to-be-looked-at” objects of an audience’s voyeuristic or consumerist gaze.2 Meanwhile, standard theatrical processes and hierarchies in the professional theatre continue to construct lighting as a primarily service industry, providing illumination, atmosphere and decoration long after what is understood to be the valuable conceptual and creative work on a given production has been done.

Abstract:

The recent publication of Achieving Social Equity: From Problems to Solutions, edited by Mary E. Guy and Sean A. McCandless (2020), sparks a move forward in the literature about social equity. To date, much of the literature on social equity has focused on its overall importance (see Frederickson, 2010), as well as the conditions of inequality within the discipline (see Bodkin & Fleming, 2019; Thomas, 2019) and within practice (see Blessett et al., 2019). Despite the attention that has been given to social equity, the National Academy of Public Administration recently included the need to foster social equity as one of the grand challenges for public administration (Gerton & Mitchell, 2019), suggesting it may be time to move the research on social equity into a new era. Guy and McCandless do just that. Rather than discussing the presence of social equity issues with public organizations, the text seeks to advance our understanding by connecting the literature on social equity with the practicality of the situations that administrators face. This is accomplished over a masterfully curated set of 13 chapters, each which focuses on a unique, but vital perspective on social equity.

Abstract:The story of Christopher McCandless, whose body was found in the back of an abandoned bus on a remote Alaskan trail after he starved to death for 113 days, has generated a great variety of narratives, both textual and cinematographic, which have progressively substituted reality in order to favor spectacularization. This essay retraces the steps of the process by which an alleged rejection of modern consumerism has become itself a consumer product, paradoxically participating in the very lifestyle it was supposed to condemn.

Abstract:

The number of Limited-English-Proficient (LEP) learners in the United States is dramatically and steadily increasing every year. In 1993–1994, U.S. public schools enrolled more than 2.1 million LEP students, with more than 90 percent of them coming from non-English-speaking countries (McCandless, Rossi, and Daugherty 1996). A study by the National Center for Education Statistics estimates a current enrollment of 3.4 million LEP students in grades K–8 (Buck 2000). This change in student demographics and the importance of language proficiency in mathematics require increasing awareness of instructional practices.

Abstract:

Into the Wild is a novel written by Jon Krakauer. The novel tells the story about a man, John McCandless, who wants to be free from all the things that he does not like. The story begins when he escapes from his daily life and lived in the free place, Alaska. He wants to live in Alaska in order to get his real freedom where he can do many things that he likes. This study analyzed the reason why the main character, John, wants to escape. To analyze the novel, intrinsic and extrinsic approaches were used. Objective theory was used because the writer analyzed the aspect of literary work itself. To support the analysis, a psycology approach was used by using the behaviorist theory. The findings indicated that there were several reasons that stimulated Chris to escape and disappear from his daily life. They were anger, love, and infatuated.

Full text

Abstract:

The application of the articulation index (Al) model to the fitting of linear amplification was evaluated for 12 subjects with sensorineural hearing loss. Comparisons were made of amplification characteristics specified by the NAL (Byrne & Dillon, 1986) and POGO (McCandless & Lyregaard, 1983) prescriptions, as well as a procedure that attempted to maximize the Al (AlMax). For all subjects, the relationship between percent-correct scores on a nonsense syllable test and Als was monotonic for the two prescriptions, indicating that the Al was effective for comparing conditions typical of those recommended clinically. However, subjects having sloping high-frequency hearing losses demonstrated nonmonotonicity due to poor performance in the AlMax condition. For these subjects, the AlMax condition required much more gain at high than at low frequencies, circumstances that Skinner (1980) warned will cause less-than-optimal performance for individuals having sloping high-frequency hearing loss.

Abstract:

It behooves me to begin this article by making it very clear that it is not about explaining the causes/reasons and effects/outcomes for the amounts of the economic aid (i.e. humanitarian and development assistance) and military aid (i.e. military and police assistance) provided to Sierra Leone by the George W. Bush Administration (2001-2008) and the Barack H. Obama Administration (2009-2016), as I have done for a number of previous United States administrations in earlier works (Bangura, 2001, 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2015). Instead, the objective here is to determine which of the two Presidents provided more of this aid to Sierra Leone. In essence, it is a descriptive account. And, as I describe it and its import in our book titled Peace Research for Africa: Critical Essays on Methodology, the descriptive account seeks to answer the what is question; it is therefore important in developing an accurate profile of situations, events, or persons (Bangura and McCandless, 2007:128 & 165).

Abstract:

Insertion gain and saturation sound pressure level (SSPL) characteristics of 71 behind-the-ear hearing aids were evaluated in a computer-assisted analysis as acceptable matches to prescriptive insertion gain and SSPL values derived by a variation of the Prescription of Gain and Output, or POGO, technique (McCandless & Lyregaard, 1983). Stringency criteria in a primary analysis varied from ±6 to ±16 dB and ±2 to ±8 dB for gain and SSPL, respectively. Three audiometric contours and associated loudness discomfort levels were used in the simulation. Findings indicated that the relationship between tolerances and the number of aids selected as optimally appropriate varied substantially as a function of audiometric configuration. Minimum gain and SSPL tolerance values of ±12 dB and ±4 dB, respectively, were required to provide a reasonable choice of instruments for a variety of such configurations. Further analyses shed light on the feasibility of using alternative stringency criteria and on the clinical utility of hearing aid selection using small clinic samples.

Full text

Abstract:

Some people live to work, others work to live, while still others prefer to live lives of leisure. Since the Puritans, American culture and literature have been dominated by individuals who have valued hard work. However, shortly after its founding, America managed to produce the leisurely Rip Van Winkle, who, over time, has been followed by kindred spirits such as, for instance, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, Twain’s Huck Finn, Melville’s Bartleby, Jack Kerouac, Diane di Prima, the Hippies, and Christopher McCandless. With the rise of the Indie Film movement of the 1990s, so came the rise of the slacker film. Films such as Slacker (1991), Singles (1992), Wayne’s World (1992), Reality Bites (1994), Clerks (1994), Kicking and Screaming (1995), Mallrats (1995), Chasing Amy (1997), The Big Lebowski (1998), and Office Space (1999) filled theatres over the decade with characters who take an unorthodox view of work and stress the importance of leisure in life. This essay discusses two slacker films, Richard Linklater’s Slacker (1991) and Kevin Smith’s Clerks (1994), which defined the slacker phenomenon in the 1990s and constituted two important landmarks in American independent film. While many of us may find the slacker pathetic and annoying, this essay argues that there is much value to be found in this healthy counterculture. By offering their perspectives on issues such as the Puritan work ethic, work-incited self-importance, leisure versus idleness and human relationships, Linklater and Smith join the preceding generations of slackers, providing a much needed balance to the American obsession with work and success.

Estudos empíricos demonstraram que as crianças com uma vinculação mais segura com as figuras parentais são mais capazes de co-construir relações significativas com os pares, e que os relacionamentos afiliativos das crianças (em particular as amizades) parecem ter um grande impacto no desenvolvimento social ao longo da vida. Grande parte dos estudos têm-se centrado sobretudo na relação de vinculação com a mãe e não é claro qual o papel da vinculação com o pai no estabelecimento de relações próximas com os pares. O presente estudo examinou as relações entre a segurança da vinculação à mãe e ao pai aos 2,5 anos e o número de amizades da criança aos quatro anos. Participaram neste estudo 35 díades mãe-criança e pai-criança de famílias bi-parentais. A idade inicial das crianças variou entre 29 e 38 meses (M=31.75; DP=2.56), 23 eram raparigas. Ambos os progenitores trabalhavam fora de casa e as famílias pertenciam a um nível socio-económico médio. Para avaliar a segurança dos comportamentos de vinculação com ambos os pais foi utilizada a versão portuguesa do Attachment Behavior Q-Set (AQS) (Waters, 1995) aos 2,5 anos de idade. Para avaliar o número de amizades foram usadas duas técnicas sociométricas aos quatro anos de idade: 1) Método das Nomeações: (McCandless & Marshall, 1957), e 2) Escala de Apreciação (Asher, Singleton, Tinsley, & Hymel, 1979). Os resultados demonstraram uma consistência significativa nos comportamentos de base-segura da criança com os dois progenitores (r=.47, p<.05), e a uma correlação positiva entre comportamentos de base-segura com o pai e o posterior numero de amizades recíprocas da criança (r=.43, p<.05), o que sugere a existência de um efeito da interacção específica com o pai no estilo relacional da criança com os pares. Discutem-se os resultados argumentando que a vinculação segura ao pai pode ser uma condição necessária para o desenvolvimento de competências específicas na gestão da rede social das crianças em idade pré-escolar.

Abstract:

Thirty-four 4 to 6-year-old Malay–English bilinguals (both balanced and dominant) characterized as low SES on income and parental education were tested on the child-Attentional Network Task (ANT) (Rueda, Rothbart, McCandliss, Saccomanno & Posner, 2004) measuring executive attention. Although SES measures fell below the Singapore median, Malay children's performance on the child-ANT remained high when compared to other age-matched monolingual and bilingual children previously tested with the child-ANT (Yang, Yang & Lust, 2011), and Chinese–English Singaporean bilinguals (Yang, Yang & Kang, 2014). None of the three SES measures – father's and mother's education, and income – significantly correlated with child-ANT components. Regression analyses confirmed that none of the SES measures significantly predicted performance on the child-ANT. Both balanced and dominant bilinguals displayed high executive control. We consider the possibility that cultural variations, (e.g., simultaneous and pervasiveness of bilingualism in Singapore, or pervasive code-switching), may ameliorate potential negative effects of SES on executive control development.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether previously reported questionnaire-based differences in self-regulatory behaviors (Eggers, De Nil, & Van den Bergh, 2009, 2010) between children who stutter (CWS) and children who do not stutter (CWNS) would also be reflected in their underlying attentional networks. Method Participants consisted of 41 CWS (mean age = 6;09; years;months) and 41 CWNS (mean age = 6;09) ranging in age from 4;00 to 9;00. Participants were matched on age and gender. The efficiency of the attentional networks was assessed by using the computerized Attention Network Test (Fan, McCandliss, Sommer, Raz, & Posner, 2002). Results Primary results indicated that CWS had a significantly lower efficiency of the orienting network compared with CWNS, whereas no differences were found on the alerting or executive control network. Conclusion Current findings corroborate previously found differences in self-regulatory behavior and were taken to suggest a possible role for attentional processes in developmental stuttering.

Abstract:

Purpose The aim of the current study was to investigate whether dual language experience modulates the efficiency of the 3 attentional networks (alerting, orienting, and executive control) in typically developing (TD) children and in children with developmental language disorder (DLD). Method We examined the attentional networks in monolingual and bilingual school-aged children (ages 8–12 years) with and without DLD. TD children (35 monolinguals, 23 bilinguals) and children with DLD (17 monolinguals, 9 bilinguals) completed the Attention Network Test ( Fan et al., 2002 ; Fan, McCandliss, Fossella, Flombaum, & Posner, 2005 ). Results Children with DLD exhibited poorer executive control than TD children, but executive control was not modified by bilingual experience. The bilingual group with DLD and both TD groups exhibited an orienting effect, but the monolingual group with DLD did not. No group differences were found for alerting. Conclusions Children with DLD have weak executive control skills. These skills are minimally influenced by dual language experience, at least in this age range. A potential bilingual advantage in orienting may be present in the DLD group.

Abstract:

We report the findings from an ongoing study on the relationship between bilinguals’ language experience and cognitive control. Previous research suggests that early bilingualism exerts an advantage on executive control, possibly due to the cognitive requirements involved in the daily juggling of two languages (Adesope, Lavin, Thompson, & Ungerleider, 2010). However, other researchers also have argued against a cognitive control advantage in bilinguals (Hilchey & Klein, 2011). It remains unclear whether cognitive benefits hold true for bilinguals across different contexts, given differences in sociolinguistic and socioeducational settings that shape individual bilingualism. In the current study, following Costa, Hernández and Sebastián-Gallés (2008) who tested Catalan-Spanish bilinguals, young adult simultaneous heritage bilinguals and late classroom emerging bilinguals of Spanish in the U.S. completed three blocks of the Attentional Network Task (ANT) (Fan, McCandliss, Sommer, Raz, & Posner, 2002) to gauge executive control abilities. Results for the executive network component of the ANT reveal no significant differences between the two bilingual groups, although the descriptive data trend suggests that HL bilinguals experienced less difficulty in solving conflicting information and demonstrated fewer switching costs between trials. These first findings imply that the bilingual advantage is not replicated across contexts, and that socioeducational practices determine individual patterns of language use, which in turn leads to variation in cognitive outcomes.

Abstract:

This study attempted to describe why some individuals are more successful when learning to perceive the sounds of a second language by analyzing the role attention plays in perceptual learning. Fifty-seven monolingual English-speaking adults completed the study. The participants underwent a perceptual learning paradigm presenting the novel contrast, the voicing contrast between Thai /b/ and /p/. The experiment consisted of a 40-item pretest, 480-trial learning phase, and 40-item posttest. Approximately half of the participants (n = 30) were given explicit instruction to listen for the specific contrast prior to the learning phase; other participants were not told the nature of the contrast. The Attention Network Test (ANT) from Fan, McCandliss, Sommer, Raz, and Posner [(2002). J. Cogn. Neurosci. 14(3), 340–347] was used to assess attentional networks. Generalized linear models and linear mixed effect models (LME) were fit to predict the participants' post-test scores based on ANT subscores, experimental group, and learning block (LME only). The results showed a correlation between attentional control and the ability to learn non-native phoneme contrasts regardless of instruction. In addition, there was a positive interaction between attentional control and the provision of explicit instructions during the learning process, such that individuals with high attentional control learned better when they received explicit instruction prior to training.
