Davechella #12: Cornelius Hickey

This week on Davechella, Dave's brought us a tale of two Hickeys... 👀🎶

Playlist 1:

Playlist 2:

Here's what Dave wanted to share:

One crucial question became apparent immediately: Is Modern Hickey receiving any psychiatric or other help that Show Hickey had no way of getting? Rather than answer that question one way or the other, I decided to challenge myself to prepare two playlists--one for a Modern Hickey who has not received any kind of diagnosis or treatment, and a parallel playlist for a Modern Hickey who has, or is. This made choosing tracks an even more delicate exercise because I wouldn't want to suggest through my musical choices that people who are navigating mental health challenges without treatment are ominously doomed any more than people who are in treatment are magically healed. In the end, the two playlists are closer in tone than people might at first expect--not binary, but different by degree. There are index points in the playlists to help underscore some of this nuance. I hope people find this an interesting way to think of Modern Hickey. I felt moved by, and connected to, both versions equally.

Last week, Paul Ready picked Gurrumul's "Wiyathul" for Goodsir's playlist.

Only three more playlists to go! Catch up with past weeks at this handy summary page. And as ever, see you in the #davechella tag! ✨❄️

pisses me off to no end when people on reddit or whatever complain that the show wouldve been better off without the tuunbaq.....did we watch the same show? the tuunbaq is everything, it held everything together. the tuunbaq is the main transformative element of the terror. the tuunbaq elevates the text beyond mere historical fact and lets it say something about the expedition's broader context of imperialism. it hunted the british men who were trampling on its home as a mere stopover, a side casualty, to finding the northwest passage (for, you know, "trade with china" after britain beat china into submission after the imperialist opium war). silna couldnt complete a proper ritual with it because of the british men - just as british colonizers have historically intruded and disrupted the practice of indigenous culture. and in the end the tuunbaq dies, after all the injuries it's taken from the british over the course of 10 episodes and finally chokes to death on the worst of them. because there's no escaping the reality of colonial history, and there is especially no fantastical escape for the colonizer. there's no proper way for us to move forward otherwise.

good historical fiction doesnt have to limit itself to accuracy - it needs empathy to draw out meanings in history using literary craft. thats what the tuunbaq means to me.... if you wanted a straight depiction of historical record, just go watch a documentary.. TUUNBAQ DENIERS DNI
