Digital natives: imagining the millennial in contemporary fiction
Generational labels, e.g. ‘millennial’, provide a shorthand for conceptualising social change over time. The notion that a particular generation are ‘digital natives’ offers representable solidity for writers seeking to depict how today’s digital media technologies shape individuals and societies in increasingly complex, obscured, and unpredictable ways.
Synthesising literary and media theory, this thesis examines how recent novels construct, complicate and subvert techno-generational frameworks for representing social change. Chapters offer analyses of Jonathan Franzen and Nathan Hill’s fixations on digital natives from self-consciously ‘elder’ perspectives; Tao Lin and Olivia Sudjic’s use of ‘flat’ aesthetics to represent the affective perspectives of the ‘digital native’; Natasha Stagg and Tony Tulathimutte’s efforts to apprehend emergent material relations in digital platform capitalism; and Tommy Orange’s enunciation of an indigenous digitality.
Acknowledging limitations in popular use of the term, this thesis approaches the ‘digital native’ as a performative identity. Literary engagements with techno-generational frameworks do not only reflect pre-existing realities but play an active role in producing new social identities. They demonstrate that debates over generational labels in contemporary cultural discourse—particularly among those who might otherwise be described as ‘middle class’—produce models of social identification that frame a fast-changing and increasingly digital socioeconomic milieu

"Mixed Use" in Peabody Heights: Using Original Development Principles to Resurrect a Baltimore Neighborhood
Once strong, vibrant, primarily-residential neighborhoods, often interspersed with institutional, commercial, and industrial functions, many inner-city areas have been negatively transformed since WWII though substantive loss of urban fabric and change-of-use. These factors have had detrimental effects on the communities, including vacancy, reduction in the mix of uses and population, and the loss of property values and high-quality buildings, contributing to a depression in neighborhood morale, economics, and æsthetics. This is not an uncommon situation in urban communities throughout the nation. The PEABODY HEIGHTS section of Baltimore, Maryland, is an apt example of these urban conditions. This paper investigates these conditions and proposes recommendations for their amelioration that grow out of the area’s original development principles
