In 2019, \u201cthe Momo Challenge,\u201d swept the internet.\u00a0 The viral hoax and internet urban legend was shared on messaging services like WhatsApp, goading children and adolescents\u00a0 into acts of extreme violence and horror. Authorities worldwide have not confirmed that any physical harm resulted, yet still school administrations on several continents have issued warnings about the Momo Challenge and repeated common advice about Internet safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The face of this challenge was, \u201cMomo,\u201d a devilish bird-lady, an <\/span>ubume<\/span><\/i>, or \u201cbirthing-woman,\u201d a supernatural monster in Japanese folklore that has appeared in tales as early as the 12th century. The choice of this image also became a puzzle for\u00a0 Sam Risak \u201820 (Dual MA English\/MFO Creative Writing) to unravel. Why do we continue to have a fixation on such monsters from yesteryear when we have, as Risak aptly notes \u201cmore than enough realized horrors in the world.\u201d
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In her award-winning thesis, \u201cTracing the Transmutations of the Ubume: A Digital Environmental Humanities Project,\u201d Risak grappled with why traditional elements of folklore endure in our contemporary digital landscapes.<\/span><\/p>\n

She argues that these monsters\u2019 ability to survive not just the eons, but to appear at the forefront of our digital mediums tells us much about the fears of today\u2019s youth; namely, their concerns about climate change. Risak pairs her research with that of literary critic Frederick Jameson who argues that populations use myths as \u201cimagined solution[s]\u201d to otherwise \u201cunresolvable social contradictions,\u201d or, in other words, as false solutions to problems that may feel too large to approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"It seems only fitting Risak\u2019s research \u2013 handling ancient lore in new media \u2013 would need to be presented in an innovative way. \u201cThat’s not to say that I don’t appreciate the role of literature as a discipline, I do!\u201d Risak clarifies. \u201cI just wanted to find a way to bridge some of its ideas to those who wouldn’t have otherwise encountered them \u2013which is exactly what Digital Humanities allowed me to do.\u201d
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Eschewing the traditional research and thesis format, Risak\u2019s thesis is hosted on Scalar, a free, open-source authoring and publishing platform that is designed to make it easy for authors to write long-form, born-digital scholarship online. One of Scalar\u2019s foundational concepts is using digital means not just for presentation of research, but as a platform for increased interconnectedness and intersections across fields in emerging digital landscapes that allow for faster, clearer connections.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cBy making my thesis a website, I can share the link and don’t have to rely on people finding it through a database that they may or may not know how to use.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Using Scalar, Risak analyzed what previous \u201cimagined solutions\u201d the <\/span>ubume<\/span><\/i> may have offered to those facing the consequences of environmental degradation. She displayed her conclusions through a combination of text-based research and a comic she created to bridge non-academic audiences with her research.<\/span><\/p>\n

Risak was introduced to digital humanities in ENG 584 – Introduction to Digital Humanities, which familiarizes students with emerging technologies for text-based inquiry, research and expression. In addition to gaining an overview of the digital humanities, students apply what they learn to the design of their own digital projects. Wilkinson is among the numbers of colleges nationwide turning their attention to digital humanities, and incorporating tenants into classwork and theses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Risak was one of five winners in this year’s university-wide Graduate Student Research Showcase for her project titled, \u201cTracing the Transmutations of the Ubume: A Digital Environmental Humanities Project,\u201d and was awarded with a $1,000.00 prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

All posters including Risak\u2019s will remain on the<\/span> VPGE website<\/span><\/a> for viewing until the end of May. We hope you\u2019ll check it out and enjoy learning more about the graduate student research community within Wilkinson!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
