Erasure in the archive is the central focus of this dissertation. Whether it be a sociohistorical erasure, the very construction of history, institutional memory, or personal memory. This work seeks to chronicle the place of my own writing about trauma, erasure, and memory in a larger literary history of utilizing erasure as a means of resistance and truth telling. This dissertation will exist in the electronic archives of Ohio University as a counter-narrative, an alternative impact statement, and a chronicle of the aftermath of a series of sexual assaults and sexual harassment that pervaded the English Department from 2003- 2015, and were denied, ignored, and concealed. The author is one of the survivors of these assaults. |
