![]() ![]() Barney is rarely seen working but has had a number of odd jobs such as a scientific test subject and posing as Krusty the Clown. The bar tab Barney managed to run up at Moe's Tavern was so large that Moe had to send away to NASA for it to be calculated and it was revealed at one point that he owed Moe $14 billion. When he cannot consume alcohol Barney will consume any toxic substances he can find such as turpentine or varnish. Barney also seems to have attempted to cure his alcoholism a number of times but presumably eventually relapses into his old habits every time. Barney is friends with Moe Szyslak, Homer Simpson, Lenny Leonard and Carl Carlson, and is often shown as a friendly individual both when sober and inebriated. Barney became a severe alcoholic after his high-school love Chloe Talbot left Springfield to pursue a career as a news reporter.Īlthough Barney has a very untidy and scarcely furnished apartment he is almost always seen at Moe's Tavern and some evidence would suggest that he lives or at least lived at Moe's. Barney excelled throughout most of his education and had a promising future ahead of him until Homer Simpson introduced him to beer on the night before his SAT exams. When sober Barney is shown to be a highly coordinated and very intelligent individual, however spending most of his time drunk these qualities are rarely apparent. Navy for some time), however it is known that Barney is the son of Arnie Gumble, a soldier who fought in World War II and died in a parade float accident in 1979. Overview Little is known about Barney Gumble's mother (although she was employed by the U.S. ![]() ![]() ![]() He secretly looks down upon many of his most famous works whilst simultaneously craving his respect and approval. Wilkie both loves and hates Charles Dickens. The spectra of Drood looms large over the life of Wilkie Collins in the five years following the Staplehurst disaster, and as Wilkie, in his own demented way, trains himself as a detective in order to solve the nature of the relationship between Drood and Dickens, the inspiration or the genre birthing The Moonstone takes form in his mind.Īs fascinating as this macabre tale is, it is overshadowed by the complex and often tragic nature of the relationship between Collins and Dickens. He commits an act of atrocity in his own home that goes singularly unnoticed (did it actually happen, or was it an opium dream?). He is plagued with visions of a green skinned woman with tusks who repeatedly attacks him in his own home, as well as a doppelganger of himself who is slowly taking over his duties as a writer (and is in fact the better writer). At no point in the novel can the reader really be sure if Collins is hallucinating, insane, or simply a character in an all too real ghost story. What follows is a long and involved game of cat and mouse between Dickens, Drood, and Collins, who devolves slowly from modern minded skeptic to an increasingly unhinged obsessive. His presence at the accident spurs Dickens to seek him out amongst the London slums and sewers known as “Undertown,” dragging the gout-ridden and laudanum-drunk Collins. Dickens tells Wilkie of a mysterious figure named Drood who appeared to him at Staplehurst, a pale bald figure of nightmares worthy of Poe. The accident was said to have a profound effect on the mental and nervous health of Charles Dickens, and may have been a contributing factor to the author’s death on June 9th, 1870, exactly five years to the date of the accident.īut this is where any notion that Drood is a mere historical fiction ends, as the reader is taken on a gothic ride of madness, mesmerism, murder and opium fueled insanity. ![]() The real life Dickens was aboard the train when it de-railed, just as the real life Collins and Dickens were life long friends and collaborators. The narrative begins with Dickens recounting to Collins his involvement in the very real railway accident at Staplehurst that killed ten and injured forty in 1865. It is the friendship between Wilkie Collins and the far more successful and famous ‘Inimitable’ (Charles Dickens) that focuses Drood. However despite his success, in his own time his peers often derided Collins as a writer of “sensationalist” fiction (Victorian speak for anything that might frighten or turn one on).Īs a historical figure, Collins is the perfect ambassador from the Victorian era, bridging the gap between his time and the present with a mixture of caddish behavior, a stubborn disdain for both his own reputation and the social hypocrisies of his time, yet refined, proud and pompous enough to provide the reader a window into the mindset of a Dickensian era London society. His fears are unfounded, as Collins’ reputation remains intact as a Victorian master of such works as the The Woman in White and his classic, The Moonstone, a novel which many now view as the precursor to the modern detective novel (Poe’s The Purloined Letter notwithstanding). He begins the narrative fretting over the possibility that readers of the future will have forgotten him and his works. But what if God is out of his mind? Or, worse yet, what if he isn’t? In the case of the novel Drood, by Dan Simmons, the God of perception is none other than Mr. Between the covers of a book, the narrator is God he sets the agenda, he decides what aspects of reality are to be explored, and in what manner they will be perceived. ![]() The unreliable narrator forces the reader’s own imagination to engage in a sort of collaborative exploration of the text along with the author. When one is led to doubt the honesty, perceptiveness, or even sanity of the person telling a tale, the story itself takes on very flexible and strange dimensions. There are few literary tropes more fascinating than that of the unreliable narrator. ![]() ![]() ![]() Canada’s government expects “higher-than-normal fire activity” to continue throughout the wildfire season - which typically lasts between April and September - due to a combination of ongoing drought conditions and hot temperature forecasts. Twenty of the 45 new wildland fires recorded Tuesday were in Ontario, according to the center’s statistics. There are also 70 active fires in Alberta, which is at the highest level of preparedness, and 68 in British Columbia. The worst-affected province is Quebec, where 154 of the fires have been recorded so far. There are 423 active fires across Canada - 246 of them out of control, according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. But this year, the fires have been particularly widespread, numerous and intense, burning through more than 3.7 million acres in Canada. Canada is home to some of the world’s densest forests, and it experiences wildfires every year. They come after a record-warm May and they come with fears the worst might still lay ahead with Summer.

Drawing upon Foucault’s concept of biopower helps to problematize and inquire about the ways that mindfulness practices in schools, and their resulting truths about emotion, operate to construct the student as a mindful subject and the teacher as manager of social emotion (Cisney & Morar, 2015). When it comes to the subjectification of both teachers and students as part of this relational dyad, “what is in question is the nature of power relations themselves as a form of delimitation” (Cisney & Morar, 2015, p. He argues that the technology or instrumentation of power “cannot be exercised unless a certain economy of discourses of truth functions in, on the basis of, thanks to, that power” (Foucault, 2003, p. This article uses a Foucauldian perspective to introduce an inquiry of how the discourses found in education policy and curriculum shape the mindful subject.Michel Foucault argued that “power is constituted through acceptable forms of knowledge, scientific understanding and ‘truth’” (Gaventa, 2003, p. In building a rationale for the critique presented here, this paper considers how MBIs in education originated and how the popular, mainstream notions described above have shaped a rationale in support of cognitive interventions designed to manage the social behaviors of youth who have been problematically labeled “at-risk” or academically low-performing (Brown, 2016). Critical discussions of this work and its commitment to the goals of diversity, equity, and inclusion are part of a more recent and vital critical movement. ![]() Yet, the prevalent pairing of mindfulness and youth who are labeled “at-risk” has generated an abundance of literature substantiating the use of mindfulness as a means for improving student wellness and achievement outcomes throughout the field of education. The biases associated with “risk discourse, the practice of identifying students presumed more likely than their peers to experience low academic achievement” (Brown, 2016, p. Though the “at-risk” label is often considered a trope or stereotype when describing racialized or low-income students and has been dangerously employed in policy and curricula, it does focus attention on “ how education might better address schooling for all students, particularly those positioned as potentially underachieving” (Brown, 2016, p. 183)which alludes to a legacy of disciplinary and over-corrective action concerning marginalized students and students of color in American schools (Love, 2019). ![]() In education, mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) in particular have been historically intertwined with students who have been problematically labeled “at-risk” (Purser, 2019, p. As such, these popularized notions of mindfulness frame what is and is not mindful - subsequently who is and who is not mindful - all the while urging each of us to be more mindful professionals, family and community members, and consumers (Langer, 1989). ![]() Kabbat-Zinn (2003), one of the field’s leading scholars, defines mindfulness in human behavior as “ awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally…It’s about knowing what is on your mind” (2017, p. ![]() Though the social practices associated with mindfulness may have stemmed from deep-rooted spiritual traditions in contemplative cultures, such as Buddhism and Hinduism, as well as the prayerful rituals of structured religion, a contemporary and more secular notion of mindfulness has emerged in the United States. As it has been celebrated and critiqued, mindfulness has incurred various definitions, depending on the set of beliefs through which it is contextualized. In this more cursory conceptualization, mindfulness functions as a form of market capitalism and as a form of capitalizing spirituality (Heffernan, 2015 Purser, 2019). Concurrently, mainstream media has also critiqued the whitewashing and appropriation of cultural concepts and secular principles from which mindful practice originates. In 2014, CBS aired an episode of 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper that explicated to Americans how to achieve mindfulness as part of a growing public wellness trend and movement (Cetta, 2014). Mindfulness has been woven through American popular culture for decades: named and unnamed, formally and informally, as an enduring concept aimed at reforming individuals and organizations in both public and private spaces. ![]() ![]()
