(August 2012) Evleen Michelle Nasir, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kirsten Pullen There is a discursive formation of incapability that surrounds senior women’s sexuality. Senior women are incapable of reproduction, mastering their bodies, or arousing sexual desire in themselves or others. The senior actresses’ I explore in the case studies below insert their performances of self and their everyday lives into the large and complicated discourse of sex, producing a counter-narrative to sexually inactive senior women. Their performances actively embody their sexuality outside the frame of a character. This thesis examines how senior actresses’ performances of sexuality extend a discourse of sexuality imposed on older woman by mass media. These women are the public face of senior women’s sexual agency.

We are proud to use our platform to lift spirits, to create legacies and to show young people that the magic of our great game is not limited to the field of play. As you will see in the pages that follow, MLB and its Clubs will always strive to make the most of the exceptional moments that we collectively share. Sincerely, Robert D.

  • Promax/Bda Announces Diverse and Provocative Early Lineup of Speakers for 53 Rd Annual Conference
    PROMAX/BDA ANNOUNCES DIVERSE AND PROVOCATIVE EARLY LINEUP OF SPEAKERS FOR 53 RD ANNUAL CONFERENCE Reverend Jesse Jackson, Futurist Nicholas Negroponte, Host of Bravo’s Inside the Actors Studio James Lipton and Hustler TV President Michael Klein Los Angeles, CA – April 2, 2008 – Promax/BDA has confirmed a diverse and relevant early lineup of speakers for its 53 rd annual Promax/BDA Conference (June 17-19, New York). Poised to address a wide range of timely and potentially provocative subjects are the Reverend Jesse Jackson, futurist Nicholas Negroponte, executive producer/writer/host of Bravo’s Inside the Actors Studio James Lipton, and Hustler TV president Michael Klein. The announcement was made today by newly ensconced Promax/BDA President Jonathan Block-Verk, who promised to deliver a conference that would both inspire, inform and impact the business operations of this year’s attendees. “This year’s Promax/BDA event is about delivering the insight and information that inspires unique ideas and opportunities that drive new revenues in the television business,” said Block-Verk. “We recognize that our constituents are faced with hard choices regarding the events they attend, and this year Promax/BDA is the conference that will send attendees back to their offices reinvigorated, energized and bursting with business ideas and marketing plans that build the bottom line.” With the 2008 election spawning history-making headlines and igniting passionate discussions of race, gender and leadership, one of America’s foremost civil rights and political figures, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, will participate in a live interview session hosted by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, during which he’ll discuss his views on such charged issues, as well as the blurring line between news and entertainment and the impact that has on global culture.
