Abstract:
This article examines Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler's archetypal private eye, within the context of contemporary historical discourses which theorised the figure of the ‘frontiersman’. It builds upon established scholarship that connects the frontiersman and detective as archetypes of white masculine American heroism, but argues that such criticism is insufficiently engaged with the frontier's spatial characteristics and their implications for the detective. Seeking to redress this, I claim that the detective's conceptual inheritance of the frontiersman's mantle is manifest most clearly in a shared approach to the navigation and ‘conquest’ of space. In closing, I offer the office as an exemplary space of post-frontier modernity.

Abstract:
This article argues that the criminal plot at the heart of James M. Cain’s 1936 novel Double Indemnity is primarily one targeted against the structures of the modern corporation, embodied in the space of the office. Such an argument situates Cain’s novel as a striking intervention in a long tradition of anti-office discourse, a discourse in which clerical work and its spaces have persistently been framed as exemplifying urban modernity’s deleterious impact upon and occlusion of the supposed ‘frontier values’ of masculinity, individualism and risk. Walter Huff, the novel’s protagonist, is figured as an agent of those values, a ‘frontiersman’ whose assault upon his insurance firm employer constitutes an attempt to reinvest a regulated, systematized world with a sense of the unpredictable wilderness.

Abstract:
The benefits of high self-efficacy beliefs for student learning is something that is widely acknowledged and supported within educational circles. High self-efficacy beliefs are known to help students set challenging goals, maintain commitment to their goals and persevere in the face of adversity. Hence, having high self-efficacy beliefs is often seen as the preferred state of being for students, resulting in copious amounts of research into how educators can help foster high self-efficacy beliefs. Consequently, research by social psychologists such as Geert Hofstede and Gabriele Oettingen has addressed how cultural dimensions can impact personal self-efficacy beliefs, with Oettingen noting the benefit of certain cultural dimensions over those of others in regards to promoting self-efficacy. However, seemingly little attention has been paid to how the ways in which educators raise self-efficacy beliefs can impact cultures themselves. A critical review of Frank Pajares’ work on ways to raise self-efficacy beliefs was conducted to highlight the cultural dimensions being promoted via the self-efficacy model, before the work of Vanessa Andreotti and Lynn Souza was used to demonstrate how, in raising self-efficacy as suggested by Pajares, cultures can be undermined or harmed. Research was conducted to establish how culturally sensitive post 2010 self-efficacy focussed pedagogical research papers from the United States were towards ethnicity and gender. A secondary focus was also made to attempt to determine whether the analysed research demonstrated an awareness of self-efficacy’s ability to impact cultures via the use of the qualitative data. Data was collected through the use of a rating template and qualitative summaries for each paper. Results showed that, although recent research papers demonstrated a moderate awareness of the impacts of ethnicity and gender on their research, no papers explicitly addressed how implementing self-efficacy can impact cultures. Ultimately, research showed a need for increased attention to cultural issues in self-efficacy research, and a culture focussed re-evaluation of methods educators use to attempt to raise self-efficacy in students.

Abstract:
Chapter two focuses on what might be considered the foil to the Indian: the white frontiersman. Specifically in the figure of Daniel Boone, the white frontiersman portrays a complementary ideal of white manhood to the Indian male, an ideal that may appear safer in terms of racial purity, but, like the contradictory dynamic of the Indian male body's potential for attraction and repulsion, possesses a threat of perceived regression into wild or savage conditions. On one hand, Boone represents a shining ideal of white manhood, yet his adoption by the Shawnee demonstrates a permeability of racial and national identification. While the Boone figure is fully reclaimed by writers and biographers for the American cause, other white frontiersmen might remain solidly on "the other side." Simon Girty, for example, represents that a white man can be "lost" to the Indians, and thus, white settlers and citizens must be on guard to protect their sense of racial and national "loyalty." This chapter, along with the previous one, lay the groundwork of the fantasy and ideology important for the remainder of the book.

The conclusion considers the power and persistence of playing Indian in American culture. From Daniel Boone to Captain America, from the frontiersman to the superhero, from the frontier to the city, playing Indian maintains a powerful presence in American popular culture, reflecting and shaping perceptions of race, gender, and national identity.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the way in which The Revenant (2015) allows the spectator to confront themselves with extreme bodily experiences within a safe, virtual space. In the expression of ‘body spectacle’ the film presents episodes that might be described as either ‘gross’ or ‘excessive’. In the abuse of human bodies that is displayed the film becomes, on one level, a Western offered as a festival of gore. This is ‘pain porn’ packed with relevance to the post-9/11 American experience. Brutality against the body can be seen, for example, in relation to battlefield trauma. Here the story of a legendary frontiersman is being re-packaged within the context of the early 21st century in such a way as to express American exceptionalism for a contemporary audience. However, for the audience the physicality of the images means the primary experience is one of bodily ‘affect’.
