Language Arts vegetable lamb of tartary identity This collection re-imagines the the self as a mythical beast that is a combination of lamb and plant, the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary (also known as the Borometz), a creature once thought to be the source of cotton according to various medieval accounts in Western Civilization as well as in Jewish mystical texts. The collection follows the decay of identity through the decomposition of language, voice, rhythm and poetic form, the sections separated analogous to the stages of biological decomposition. It explores the idea of identity as being structured by and for language; and as the self slowly degrades the logic and presence of external processes and laws becomes clearer and more imposing—until a rebirth occurs, by the end, and the entire process is again re-imagined. Through self-negation, the self—and, indeed, all discernible, intentional identification—is reborn again anew. 2012-06-01 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1332007560 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1332007560 restricted--full text not available online This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
