2023 Episode 34 with Rick Cenname & Cynthia Ward! by Harvey Blankfeld

Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick is back with another in-depth, evergreen podcast episode conversation on making stuff (mostly writing), finding success as we each define it, and staying healthy and sane in the process. This time around, I speak with multi-genre pulp author R. Jean Mathieu. He provides a fascinating perspective on the creative writing life, owing to his intersecting influences of Taoist philosophy, karate, and his Quaker beliefs. We talk about the difference between writing and publishing, especially as they pertain to difficult topics and "trigger" issues, the hidden rituals in our creative process, the importance of balance in all aspects of our lives, personal, professional, and creative (even as we strive to grow and challenge ourselves) and the "hat trick" that keeps it all moving forward... The conversation with R. Jean Mathieu was recorded on May 29th, 2023. The rest of this episode was recorded on September 26, 2023. About R. Jean Mathieu R. Jean Mathieu is the fiction writer of all trades. From award-winning stories of the Peace Corps and meditators on Mars to time-traveling mysteries of a Mexican detective solving his own murder, Mathieu revels in different genres, different voices, and cultural chop suey. Under other noms de plume, he writes romances, thrillers, pulp adventures, Westerns, and mysteries. Mathieu grew up in Morro Bay, California. He enrolled in college at fifteen, where he would spend the next ten years. With an Associate's degree in International Studies and $100 in his pocket, Mathieu traveled to China, alternately working as a teahouse server, organic farmhand, Hong Kong movie extra, and English teacher. Despite being deported thrice, he won his degree in Sociology (minoring in Business) over his five years in China, refining his craft along the way. He lives in San Luis Obispo with his wife Melissa and daughter Lyra, where they keep a good table when not writing side-by-side or chasing trains to the next adventure. A convinced Quaker, he attends Central Coast Friends Meeting in between writing and publishing his fiction, learning new languages, and practicing Uechi-ryu karate. You can find all his stories at Amazon.com and his commentary at RJeanMathieu.com. Links and Topics Mentioned in This Episode My day job? I'm a creative services provider helping authors, podcasters and other creators. How can I help you? Who are the Quakers? The Blade Runner soundtrack. Renaissance humanism. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and his classic Flow make another appearance in a Sonitotum interview, just in case that's on your bingo card... The Big Chill. Fear of Flying by Erica Jong. How to Meditate: A Guide to Self Discovery by Lawrence LeShan. Writing the Other by Cynthia Ward and Nisi Shawl. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association. My novel Light of the Outsider. The "fridging" literary trope. David Simon's famous (to me?) Believer interview. Another frequent mention, for those playing at home. Lester Dent's Doc Savage. The "Mary Sue" literary trope. Taoist philosophy. Jack London's No Mentor but Myself. Maybe you would like to be a future guest on Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick? Learn more!

In this episode of Doing Diversity in Writing, we—Bethany and Mariëlle—talk about the third common pitfall when representing diverse characters: tokenism.   More specifically, we talk about: what tokenism is and why it is problematic why characters such as JK Rowling's Cho Chang are the perfect example of tokenism the custom of turning diverse characters into token sidekicks or “bit-players” how Cassandra Clare avoids tokenism in her Shadowhunter series  strategies to prevent tokenism in your fiction writing   Some quotes from this week's episode: “Tokenism is inclusion for the sake of inclusion. It's not about making any actual changes but about appearances.”   “If we just merely add a few diverse characters to our stories just so our writing looks inclusive, chances are the story doesn't leave any room for these characters' lived experiences and realities to be fully investigated. If we only include them to make sure a particular minority is present within our writing so that we look like open-minded and progressive writers, we run the risk of reducing these characters to one-dimensional summaries of what we think their community is like and thinks like.”   “You can add a whole set of characters from the same community, but if they're all more or less the same and don't contribute to the plot beyond being their identity marker, if they get to contribute to the plot at all, it's still tokenism. It's really about the depth and complexity that a character is allowed to bring with them beyond whatever identity markers they might carry.”   “Proper research into our characters' cultural, historical and political backgrounds will go a long way in creating more well-rounded characters with a developed background.” “Even if you only have one character from a particular minority community in your work, allowing them space to be their own person beyond their identity markers will go a long way in making sure they don't become tokens and in showing the diversity that exists within each and every community.” And here are the (re)sources we mentioned on the show:   The Oxford Dictionary definition of tokenism: https://www.lexico.com/definition/tokenism “To JK Rowling, from Cho Chang”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6xU3mYY3Cw   Please note that this is not the original video of Rachel Rostad performing the slam poem.

In this episode of Doing Diversity in Writing, we—Bethany and Mariëlle—talk about the fear of cultural appropriation. More specifically, we talk about:  How we define cultural appropriation The difference between cultural appropriation and cultural exchange Assassin's Creed III vs. Disney's Pocahontas, and why Assassin's Creed III does it better than Pocahontas did The “So sorry about colonialism” narrative Marvel's Black Panther, and why the museum scene made Mariëlle say “Fuck yes!” aloud in the theater Some quotes from this week's episode: “These days, cultural appropriation is understood to focus on those moments, those points of interaction and usage, where certain customs, practices, ideas, and so on, are being employed by usually a more dominant culture without any of the positives. There is no positive exchange going on that somehow benefits those whose culture is being used by that other, often more dominant, culture.” “I can understand why some acknowledgement might feel like worth having, especially when there's been almost none, but that doesn't take away the fact that the bigger, disturbing picture remains solidly rooted within our dominant culture and history. And Pocahontas the Disney film did only acknowledge a fraction of it, while erasing the absolute tragedy and evil enacted on Pocahontas herself in real history.”    And here are the (re)sources we mentioned on the show: Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward's Writing the Other: https://writingtheother.com/the-book/  “Appropriate cultural appropriation” by Nisi Shawl: https://writingtheother.com/appropriate-cultural-appropriation/  “Reservations about films: Disney's Pocahontas”: https://lakotachildren.org/2015/09/reservations-about-films-disneys-pocahontas/ “Disney updates content warning for racism in classic films”: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54566087   This week's bonus material can be found here: https://representationmatters.art/2021/10/21/episode4/   To be the first to know when our next episode drops, subscribe to our newsletter here: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/r3p6g8    As always, we'd love for you to join the conversation by filling out our questionnaires.    Our Doing Diversity in Writing – Writer Questionnaire can be filled in at https://forms.gle/UUEbeEvxsdwk1kuy5   Our Doing Diversity in Writing – Reader Questionnaire can be filled in at https://forms.gle/gTAg4qrvaCPtqVJ36    Don't forget, you can find us at https://representationmatters.art/ and on https://www.facebook.com/doingdiversityinwriting

What does it mean to write a protagonist that is completely different from you? Are you a guest, a tourist, or an invader? How do you write correctly and thoughtfully? What happens when you get it wrong? Listen up as Polli and Kate share some dirt and some resources.  Show notes: https://lplks.org/blogs/post/052-dishing-the-american-dirt/ Two Book Minimum: How to Catch A Mole by Marc Hamer The Dirty Girls Social Club by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez Dishing the...American Dirt: If you're a book nerd in any way, or interested in #OwnVoices literature, you've probably heard about the American Dirt drama. If not, here's a blurb from Rachelle Hampton: American Dirt follows the journey of a mother and son fleeing Mexico for America after their entire family is murdered on the orders of a local cartel kingpin. Before the slaughter, Lydia Quixano Pérez is a bookseller in Acapulco, mother to Luca and wife to journalist Sebastián. It is Sebastián’s exposé on the kingpin, who also happens to be a frequent customer of Lydia’s bookstore, that serves as the linchpin for the violence that sets off the novel and Lydia’s journey through the desert to the border. In her afterword Cummins describes a four-year writing process that included extensive travel and interviews in Mexico. Cummins writes of her desire to humanize “the faceless brown mass” that she believes is so many people’s perception of immigrants. “I wish someone slightly browner than me would write it,” she continues. “But then I thought, if you’re the person who has the capacity to be a bridge, why not be a bridge.”  (Slate.com) So. While the book had been released quite a while ago, it came out this year (to rave reviews) and was picked for Oprah's Book Club, which then led to some deeper digging and scandalous responses. One of the first and most vocal opponents was Myriam Gurba, author of Mean, whose lyrical takedown was (in Kate's view)... spectacular. It's pretty brutal and covers multiple levels, including the unnatural-sounding use of Spanglish and the lack of Mexican sensibility. She argues against Cummins' right to write this book, especially given the number of Latinx authors who are remaining unpublished or undiscovered. The backlash against this line of criticism has been stronggggg. And not cute.  David Bowles' piece, American Dirt: Dignity & Equity, offers a nuanced view of what it means to write the "other," and what a responsibility it is -- "When you write about an underrepresented group, one whose own voices have been excluded from the world of publishing, not getting it right isn’t just disastrous: it’s harmful to people in that group." Bowles' article gives lots of stats and figures to back up his argument, as well as tips FOR writing characters different from you. One to check out is called Writing the Other, a series by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward, which has tons of resources for current or prospective authors. Likewise, Alexander Chee addresses this issue often in workshops and lectures and says "Many writers are not really asking for advice — they are asking if it is okay to find a way to continue as they have." He asks a few questions that are very helpful to writers, creators, and consumers: 1. Why do you want to write from this character’s point of view? 2. Do you read writers from this community currently? 3. Why do you want to tell this story? -----------------
