Thesis-Template Melancholy Utopia: Loss and Fantasy in Contemporary American Literature and Film by Julia Patricia Wallace Cooper A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Julia Patricia Wallace Cooper, 2016 Melancholy Utopia: Loss and Fantasy in Contemporary American Literature and Film Julia Patricia Wallace Cooper Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2016 Abstract My project examines sites of social and psychic resistance to forfeiting loss in contemporary literature, film, and philosophy. I call these textual, cinematic, and performative spaces of resistance melancholy utopia. Working at the intersection of affect theory, queer studies, and psychoanalysis, I argue for the utopian potential in the protracted grieving of melancholia. The pathologization of grief in contemporary Western culture proceeds from the incessant demand for productivity inherent to late-stage capitalism: extended mourning is unproductive and economically inefficient, an emotional nuisance. Therefore, I focus on the violence that is intrinsic to the temporal demands made on mourning and argue that there is an innate counterhegemonic impulse in the melancholic’s steadfast grief. The melancholic !ii subject resists the violent injunction to “move on” from her sorrow and creates instead an affective utopia that allows him or her to experience his or her pain and new forms of thinking. By focusing on post-1945 literature and film, I chart the “ugly” affect of melancholia and the contemporary salience of utopian dreaming. Although the authors and directors through whose work I develop the concept of melancholy utopia are otherwise diverse, they share a preoccupation with the relationship between loss and fantasy. My first chapter interrogates critical analyses of grief (Jacques Derrida), failure and lack (Judith Halberstam; Jacques Lacan), queer futurity (Lee Edelman), and utopia (José Muñoz). My next three chapters chart melancholy utopia and the alternative kinship relations it fosters in the kitchens of the American South (Carson McCullers; Harmony Korine), in the literary archive (David Foster Wallace), and in New Queer Cinema (Jennie Livingston; Sean Baker). Each chapter illustrates melancholy utopia as the nexus of pain and hope in modern grief. My project thus has broader implications for rethinking the discursive limits of kinship, love, and ethical fidelity in our contemporary moment. !iii Acknowledgments I am forever grateful to my supervisor Professor Mari Ruti for her guidance, support, and unrelenting encouragement throughout this project. I am also thankful to my committee members Professors Sara Salih and Naomi Morgenstern for their invaluable insights. I would like to thank the other mentors who have been generous to me and my ideas over many years: Manish Sharma and Omri Moses at Concordia University, Ara Osterweil and Sean Carney at McGill University, Mark Knight at Lancaster University, Eli Friedlander for his seminar on Walter Benjamin at The School of Criticism and Theory at Cornell University in 2015, Jennifer Friedlander at Pomona College, and finally, Larry Switzky, Cheryl Suzack, and Corinn Columpar at the University of Toronto. You are—as Frankie Addams would say —the we of me. I am grateful for various forms of financial support received over the course of this dissertation through the Ontario Graduate Scholarship, the V. A. De Luca Memorial Fellowship, the University of Toronto Award for the Study of the United States, and the University of Toronto Fellowship. Thank you to my friends and family for standing by as I worked through what it means to write, feel, and live with grief. To my sweet Tim Macleod, for the bliss. This dissertation is dedicated to my mom Patricia Wallace, who, if she were here, I would say: this has all been for you, and it has all been worthwhile. !iv Table of Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements iv Table of Contents v List of Figures vii Introduction: The “Problem” of Melancholia and The Promise of Utopia 1 1.

Photograph. Miriam Burbank died. It was a June day in New Orleans in 2014. Burbank was only 53 years old, but she had made arrangements for her funeral. There, her embalmed body sat upright at a table with a cigarette in one hand and a wineglass in the other. Her light black skin had a waxy finish. A pair of thick, black sunglasses covered Burbank’s eyes and a glossy shoulder-length wig framed her face and shoulders. Like many of the dead, she wore her finest: diamond earrings, gold watch, and a silk scarf. On the table in front of her was an ashtray and lighter, a pack of menthol cigarettes, and a couple of small New Orleans Saints helmets in honor of her favorite team. Behind Burbank was a large screen TV and a half empty bottle of Jack Daniels. According to The New York Times, this scene recreates how !1 !2 Burbank “had spent a good number of her living days” (Roberston). With those days now behind her, Burbank’s funeral is a scene of prosopopoeia: her corpse is meant to look as though it is a body still in action, perhaps even about to speak. But more than this, the unlikely still-life registers that Burbank is gone, but not quite. Waiting expectantly at her table, Burbank is making a visual and prosopopoeic address from before—and not yet beyond—the grave. As Diana Fuss remarks in her study of the modern elegy, a corpse testifies to an absence, and “a corpse negates interiority” (44). The cadaver is the empty remains of someone who, until very recently, once was. So when a corpse “speaks” as it does in the elegies of Fuss’s study, or when a corpse appears as though it is about to speak, as it does in the instance of Burbank’s funeral, the corpse is misbehaving. We associate death with disappearance rather than with appearance, and, yet, in the context of Burbank, what is gone reappears in a makeshift sort of way. This form of lifelike funeral staging is relatively new to the United States, and it breaks with conventional mourning rituals in more ways than one. Burbank’s service shirks the solemnity of traditional mourning rites by having her body mimic life rather than death. However, solemnity is not replaced by a flippant irreverence. In a sense, those who are left to grieve can be with their loss for a bit longer, and a peculiar comfort is given room to emerge. In this unconventional scenario, Burbank has orchestrated a novel encounter between her mourners and their loss that has the timbre of fantasy. According to Julia Kristeva, one way of understanding fantasy is as the “intimate creation of representations” (63). Kristeva writes that the Greek root of fantasy (fae, faos, fos) !3 “expresses the notion of light and thus the fact of coming to light, shining, appearing, presenting, presenting oneself, representing oneself” (2002: 63). In this respect, the unfolding of fantasy is like shining a light upon the shadowy corners of one’s inner life. Indeed, this funeral stages a certain representation of Burbank (orchestrated by Burbank herself, in anticipation of death), and she appears to her mourners in the peculiar glow of the fantastical. The uncanny corpse, in a manner of speaking, poses some significant questions about grief: how do we experience loss? And how might we begin to renegotiate the terms of public grieving in order to make room for fantasy? Burbank’s New Orleans funeral presents an alternative way of relating to grief. The question remains: alternative to what? On the surface, the peculiar contortion of Burbank’s dead body into a pose of aliveness might seem like a spectacle that functions as a denial of death. Burbank’s undead appearance could be construed as a refusal on her part to accept death.

  • Fabulous! the Story of Queer Cinema
    The Independent Film Channel Presents: An Orchard Films Production Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema Directed and Produced by Lisa Ades & Lesli Klainberg PUBLICITY AND ARTWORK, PLEASE CONTACT: Sophie Evans Manager, Consumer PR Kristen Andersen – PR Coordinator T: (917) 542-6336 T: (917) 542-6339 E: [email protected] E: [email protected] Synopsis: Fabulous! The Story of Queer Cinema explores the emergence of gay and lesbian films from the beginning of the gay rights movement in the 1960s to the “New Queer Cinema” of the 90s, the proliferation and influence of gay and lesbian films festivals, the discovery by the film business of the gay market; the explosion of gay images in the mainstream media and the current phenomenon of all things gay. The story of gay and lesbian cinema is closely related to the world surrounding it, and the use of popular culture is a backdrop against which the film examines important cultural, political and social moments- and movements that intersect with gay life. “Sex on the screen means something different for gay and lesbian audiences than for straight audiences because we’ve never been allowed to see it. If bodies that we can’t imagine being together are together, if women are rolling around in bed, if men are doing something more in the locker room than just simply taking a shower…all of these groundbreaking scenes of explicit sexuality have a meaning and a power that go beyond similar scenes for heterosexuals. It has to be there for audiences because for so long we were told ‘Oh no, they aren’t really gay because we have no proof that they ever did that’ there’s a sense that’s like – show me the money!” - B.

  • Julia Kristeva's 'Culture of Revolt' and (Post) Modern Religious Subjectivity
    Julia Kristeva’s ‘Culture of Revolt’ and (Post) Modern Religious Subjectivity by Bonnie de Bruijn A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Bonnie de Bruijn 2016 Julia Kristeva’s ‘Culture of Revolt’ and (Post) Modern Religious Subjectivity Bonnie de Bruijn Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This study offers a close reading of Julia Kristeva’s theories of ‘intimate revolt’ and ‘revolt culture’ and applies them to discussions of religious subjectivity. Decidedly non-militaristic, intimate revolt is reconceived in psychoanalytic and literary terms to mean an ongoing process of introspection and interrogation. The notion is derived from a multi-faceted and dynamic view of the mind, which, I submit, can broaden our conceptualization of religious subjectivity in popular discourse and vis-à-vis other psychoanalytic interpretations of religion. Indeed, Kristeva’s seemingly ambiguous treatment of Christianity is better understood in light of her theory of intimate revolt, which accepts and encourages working through competing ideas. Taking seriously the socio-political implications of intimate revolt, the overarching questions of this project are whether or not religion can fit into Kristeva’s vision of revolt culture, and, if so, what it might look like. I argue that, while she privileges aesthetic and psychoanalytic forms of revolt, Kristeva leaves open the possibility of intimate revolt in religion, particularly through her discussions of ‘the sacred’ and Christian mysticism. Finally, I survey progressive Christianity and John Caputo’s postmodern religion to identify potential examples of religious subjects who contribute to a culture of revolt.

  • The Time Has Come, for You to Lip-Sync, for Your Identity: Bridging the Queer
    The Time Has Come, For You to Lip-Sync, For Your Identity: Bridging the Queer Gap Between Theory and Practice Thesis RMA Musicology Vera van Buren (5539307) Feb- Aug 2019 RMA Musicology | Supervisor: Dr. Olga Panteleeva | Second reader: Dr. Judith Peraino Abstract The humanities seem to want to specialize in capturing the human experience in their socio-cultural context. It seems, however, that throughout the past decades, certain experiences are harder to academically pin down than others. The critique posed by queer people on queer theory is one example of this discrepancy. Judith Butler, Maggie Nelson, Sara Ahmed and Crystal Rasmussen are some authors who intellectually capture the experience of queerness. Especially Butler has received critique throughout her career that her description of queerness had very little to do with the real-lived experience of queer people. But, her work showed seminal in the deconstruction of gender identity, as did the works by the other mentioned authors. Despite the important works produced by these authors, it is still difficult to find academic works that are written with a ‘bottom-up’ approach: where the voices of oppressed groups are taken for the truth they speak, while academic references are only there to support their claims. In this thesis, I utilize this ‘bottom-up’ approach, testing through my case study—namely, the experiences of Dutch drag queens, specifically how they experience topics around lip-sync performances—to what extent their lived experience is in accordance with the theoretical works by which they are framed. Through interviews with Dutch drag queens, by attending drag shows, and by critically reviewing academic literature, I will test the discrepancy, or parallel, between the theory, and practice.

  • A Case Study Exploring the Agency of Black Lgbtq+ Youth In
    A CASE STUDY EXPLORING THE AGENCY OF BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’S BALLROOM CULTURE By Shamari K. Reid Dissertation Committee: Professor Michelle Knight-Manuel, Sponsor Professor Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 19 May 2021 . Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY EXPLORING BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’s BALLROOM CULTURE Shamari K. Reid Recognizing the importance of context with regard to youth agency, this study explores how 8 Black LGBTQ+ youth understand their practices of agency in ballroom culture, an underground Black LGBTQ+ culture. Ballroom was chosen as the backdrop for this scholarly endeavor because it allowed for the study of the phenomenon — Black LGBTQ+ youth agency — in a space where the youth might feel more able to be themselves, especially given that the 2019 Black LGBTQ+ youth report published by the Human Rights Campaign revealed that only 35% of Black LGBTQ+ youth reported being able to “be themselves at school” (Kahn et al., 2019). Thus, instead of asking what is wrong with schools, this study inverted the question to explore what is “right” about ballroom culture in which Black LGBTQ+ youth might practice different kinds of agency due to their intersectional racial and LGBTQ+ identities being recognized and celebrated. Framed by the youth’s understanding of their own agency across different contexts, my research illuminates the complex interrelationships between youth agency, social identity, and context. Extending the literature on youth agency and Black LGBTQ+ youth, the findings of this study suggest that in many ways these youth are always already practicing agency to work toward different ends, and that these different end goals are greatly mediated by the contexts in which they find themselves.
