  • Lesbian and Gay Music
    Revista Eletrônica de Musicologia Volume VII – Dezembro de 2002 Lesbian and Gay Music by Philip Brett and Elizabeth Wood the unexpurgated full-length original of the New Grove II article, edited by Carlos Palombini A record, in both historical documentation and biographical reclamation, of the struggles and sensi- bilities of homosexual people of the West that came out in their music, and of the [undoubted but unacknowledged] contribution of homosexual men and women to the music profession. In broader terms, a special perspective from which Western music of all kinds can be heard and critiqued. I. INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 II. (HOMO)SEXUALIT Y AND MUSICALIT Y 2 III.

INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL VERSION 1 What Grove printed under ‘Gay and Lesbian Music’ was not entirely what we intended, from the title on. Since we were allotted only two 2500 words and wrote almost five times as much, we inevitably expected cuts. These came not as we feared in the more theoretical sections, but in certain other tar- geted areas: names, popular music, and the role of women. Though some living musicians were allowed in, all those thought to be uncomfortable about their sexual orientation’s being known were excised, beginning with Boulez.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find ja good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Lgbtq Slang and Its Evolution Over Time. a Censored Outcast in Subtitling?
    LGBTQ SLANG AND ITS EVOLUTION OVER TIME. A CENSORED OUTCAST IN SUBTITLING? La jerga LGBTQ y su evolución a lo largo del tiempo. ¿Un marginado cen- surado en la subtitulación? Mª Victoria MESONERO UNED [email protected] ABSTRACT: Lavender lexicon is not a widely concept in the academic world. In order to contribute to this, the present work analyses gay jargon as a specialized language due to its secrecy and purpose. Having its roots in Polari, we have illustrated the development of the gay language by considering popular series from the 90s until 2018: Sex and the city, Queer as folk, RuPaul’s Drag Race and Pose. Most modern series’ subtitles showed as few cases of censorship as in Austin Powers’ trilogy, where the heterosexual slang prevails. However, it did not happen the same the previous years. It has also been exaggerated in some cases, something that affects the LGBTQ community negatively. Apart from of- fering a view of the concept of subtitling, we also defined the translation techniques needed when dealing with taboo and swear words and how the offensive load can be transferred. Keywords: gay; slang; audio-visual; subtitling; censorship; Polari. 1. COMING OUT THE CLOSET: GAY SLANG Nowadays, gay slang or language of the closet seems to be one of the greatest outcasts in the aca- demic world, particularly in disciplines as Philology or Translation Studies. Rodriguez González (2010, 3) remarked that “lots of publications addressed the gay issue from different fields as Psychology, Soci- ology, Literature, Religion… Nevertheless, there is not any detailed study/register about its lexicon”.

My range of mark making, ideas, gestures and visual references develops through my experience as a printmaker and collage artist. I am inspired by the concept that beauty and sadness coexist, and intrigued by the quest to define home. My work is driven by personal allegory, though is essentially human as I interpret questions of individual and collective memory, cultural history, and natural wonder.

She serves as visual arts faculty at North Seattle Community College and an instructor of printmaking at Pratt Fine Art Center. Kelda received her MFA in Visual Art from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University in St. Louis.

Their sweet little letters plead to know "more about Dorothy"; and they ask: "What became of the Cowardly Lion?" and "What did Ozma do afterward?"--meaning, of course, after she became the Ruler of Oz. And some of them suggest plots to me, saying: "Please have Dorothy go to the Land of Oz again"; or, "Why don't you make Ozma and Dorothy meet, and have a good time together?" Indeed, could I do all that my little friends ask, I would be obliged to write dozens of books to satisfy their demands.

  • Dictionaries and Discourses of Deviance
    J. Pieterse [email protected] ‘Dictionaries and Discourses of Deviance’ WISER 17/9/2012 Dictionaries and Discourses of Deviance moffie—n. (Afr.) 1. gay man 2. effeminate gay man – generally with pejorative connotations (cf. andersom, bent, bit, boy, camper, choirboy, class gay, clone, common gay, Fifi, friend of Dorothy, faggot, family, Fanuskind, girlfriend, Gladys, happy camper, koekblik, koorknaap, madam, Martha, Mary, member of the team, moffinia, molvyn, mother, muffin, ouma se kinders, pixie, princess, queen, she, sister, skeef, skeef geklap, slappolssiekte, stabane, straatkat, team player, trassie) [Saylor slang, first recorded in 1929, the word (morphy) was used as a term of contempt among seamen for effeminate, well-groomed young men]1 moffie—Afrikaans for poof or fag. Slang and often derogatory word for homosexuals, usually male. The term ‘moffie’ is first mentioned in South African sea slang from 1929. A ‘mophy’ is a derogatory term among seafarers for delicate, well-groomed young men. Difference of opinion on the origin of the word. Possibly a bastardisation of ‘mofrodite’ (castrated Italian opera singer), or derived from the Dutch word ‘mof’ (article of clothing) or, less probable, the English word ‘mauve’ (a colour associated by some with homosexuality).2 moffie—(pejoratief wat in die verlede dikwels neerhalend op “vroulike” optrede en voorkoms gedui het; sommige beskou dit tans as ereterm) gay man.3 The word ‘moffie’ stands central to changing representations of abnormal or deviant Afrikaner masculinity in apartheid South Africa. The different meanings assigned to this word delineated relationally what was considered normal and acceptable at any given time, and helped the dominant culture police the boundaries of the wider gender order.
