Site D'actualités Lesbiennes REPRÉSENTATIONS LESBIENNES À LA TÉLÉVISION POPULAIRE NORD-AMÉRICAINE: QUELLES IDENTITÉS REPRÉSENTÉES POUR QUELS PUBLICS? Par: Tara Chanady, Doctorante en Communications, Université de Montréal. Colloque CIRFF 2015, Identités et luttes lesbiennes. COURT HISTORIQUE DES REPRÉSENTATIONS LESBIENNES À LA TÉLÉVISION POPULAIRE 1991: Premier baiser lesbien à la network tv dans L.A. Law 1997: Coming-out de Ellen de Generes dans son sitcom Ellen 1997: Premier baiser passionné (open-mouth) entre deux femmes aux heures de grande écoute: Relativity 2000: Premier long rôle principal pour un personnage lesbien à la télévision “daytime”: All My Children 2001: Pour certains, première représentation “réaliste” du développement d’une relation lesbienne: Buffy, the vampire Slayer 2004: Première émission populaire lesbienne: The L Word 1991-2015: Popularisation du phénomène du « lesbian kiss episode » (Sex in the City, Party of Five, Ally McBeal, One Tree Hill, etc.), et des courtes relations lesbiennes (The O.C., Degrassi, 90120, Desperate Housewives, etc.) Peut-on parler de « bonne » ou « mauvaise » représentation et si oui, quels en sont les critères? Est-ce dommageable de reproduire la logique du placard et la binarité homo-hétéro? Les représentations sont-elles trop hétéronormatives? Pas assez diversifiées? Trop apolitiques (et a-t-on besoin que les représentations soient politiques)? La sexualité lesbienne est-elle commodifiée? Comment peut-on distinguer les limites entre un personnage lesbien émancipatoire et un personnage lesbien qui n’est qu’objet de désir? Doit-on privilégier les étiquettes revendiquées (comme lesbienne) ou des représentations de la sexualité plus fluides et moins définies? Quels sont les enjeux propres à ces deux types de représentations? Comment les choses ont-elles changé et que reste-il à faire?

They offer something for everyone, from advocacy groups looking for role models to indignation-seeking conservatives, from goggle-eyed male viewers to progressive female ones, from tyrants who demand psychological complexity to plot buffs.” Scripteur Marti Noxon (2002) à propos de la résistance rencontrée lors du développement de la relation lesbienne sur Buffy The Vampire Slayer : "You can show girls kissing once, but you can't show them kissing twice… because the second time, it means that they liked it” Cette dynamique a-t-elle changé et comment? Relations hétéronormatives toujours présentes au sein de relations récentes comme dans Greys Anatomy (père de l’enfant), Faking it (exploration sexuelle) et Degrassi (flirt avec des garçons) Référence: Heffernan, Virginia (February 10, 2005). "CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK; It's February. Pucker Up, TV Actresses.". The New York Times. Retrieved November 1, 2008 DÉPOLITISATION DES REPRÉSENTATIONS Illene Chaiken (productrice de The Word) dans une entrevue au New York Times en 2005: “In the meantime, lesbianism became hip. Reality dating shows revealed girls necking in hot tubs. Rosie O'Donnell came out. Girls went wild. Madonna planted one on Britney. Ellen DeGeneres's sexuality, once viewed as toxic enough to sink a sitcom, morphed into a nonissue benign enough for her to have her own daytime chat show. "From 1999 to now, gay issues entered the political zeitgeist and the television landscape changed drastically," Ms. Chaiken said. "Stories that before weren't being told started being consumed avidly." I rail against the idea that pop television is a political medium," she said. "I am political in my life. But I am making serialized melodrama. I'm not a cultural missionary." Like so many high school boys, she just wants to see girls kiss on television.” Référence: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/06/arts/television/she-likes-to-watch.html ÉTUDE EN LIGNE: IMPACT DES REPRÉSENTATIONS LESBIENNES À LA TÉLÉVISION POPULAIRE SUR DES JEUNES FILLES EN PROCESSUS DE COMING-OUT Sources: Blogs comme Afterellen.com (site d’actualités lesbiennes), Commentaires sur des montages-vidéos YouTube, Commentaires sur des articles en ligne Référence: Banque de données de L’Université Queens, Master Research Project: Lesbian Representations in Mainstream Television: Arguing or the value of a postpositivist framework to understand their dynamics and impacts over a postmodern one, Tara Chanady (2012) À PROPOS DES ÉTIQUETTES (LABELS) Don't you mean "bi"? Or does "gay" mean anything we want it to, now?” “ I think it's the fear of labels that leads many people to use every word for everything. Especially women are usually considered to be sexually fluid nowadays. Personally I think labels are a good thing. Gay therapist Joe Kort even says that only when we are able to put a label on ourselves we have overcome our internalized homophobia (or biphobia or any other self-phobia). I worked hard for it, but now I am proud to call myself gay or lesbian. I like my labels and my precious diversities.” “I just like crisp and clear definitions and labels. Because I love to communicate. And I don't like confusion. I have many labels, like my name, for example. And I'm lesbian, because that is how I define myself”. I like labels. When some guy hits on me or some female who doesn't know me well tries to set me up with or talk about some guy, I can say simply "I am a lesbian" and it is understood that that label means "not interested in men." I don't have to use 5000 different words and reasons for why I don't want this man. I am gay. Period. That's my label and it has meaning.

À PROPOS DU COMING OUT “my own coming out process began with Xena and slowly moved to Grey's Anatomy, and then to The L Word and other explicitly gay media”. “I have to say that afterellen has been such a resource for me since I came out in 2007. I am a media junky and I relate to television more than anything else. I had watched "The L Word" before I started reading this site, but besides "Buffy" that was really the only Lesbian Storyline I know of.” “t.v. is the only connecting some of us have to the gay world. I am 17 and live in an incredibly small town in the midwest so this episode of glee meant so much to me. I have actually decided to come out to my dad in part because of glee. I have never even meant another gay or lesbian before in my life, so I sort of depend on these t.v. shows just to make it feel like I have some sort of connection to the gay community. I wanted to thank you for writing this article. Things like this site and tuesday's episode of glee are what help me to cope with who I am.” Comment retrieved from AfterEllen.com, Celebrating an extraordinary week of tv for lesbian visibility, Ibid.

INFLUENCE DES REPRÉSENTATIONS SUR LES JEUNES FILLES ET LEUR ENVIRONNEMENT SOCIAL “Shows like Buffy and Skins and The L Word were very influential in my perception of the LGBT community. Growing up in a very conservative area, I don't think I knew a single person that was openly gay. I had always been taught to think that being gay was a sin. Watching shows that featured gay characters allowed me to come to terms with my own struggles with my sexuality by showing me how wrong I was about homosexuality. I love that such a big show like Glee has chosen to represent more than one demographic of its audience by providing characters that the LGBT community can relate to. Subtext is becoming maintext, and it is a beautiful thing.” “It made me think of the changes we're able to see now, concerning lesbian content on Tv and Films. I wish I could have so many options in my teen years. It would've certainly helped me and I probably wouldn't be as "queer starved" as I am today for lesbian themed films/shows.” “Naomi's series 3 episode had just been released. I could not help watching and thinking 'is...is this really happening on screen too?'. The most amazing thing is I can't escape it, and I don't want to. I am from Kansas, really close to Topeka. When I was three years old, I had to ask my mother what a fag was because Fred Phelps and the Phelpetts were protesting near my preschool.

  • Views on Happiness in the Television Series Ally Mcbeal: the Philosophy of David E
    QUT Digital Repository: http://eprints.qut.edu.au/ McKee, Alan (2004) Views On Happiness In The Television Series Ally Mcbeal: The Philosophy Of David E. Kelley. Journal of Happiness Studies 5(4):pp. 385- 411. © Copyright 2004 Springer The original publication is available at SpringerLink http://www.springerlink.com 1 Views on happiness in the television series Ally McBeal: the philosophy of David E Kelley Alan McKee Film and Television Queensland University of Technology Kelvin Grove QLD 4059 Australia [email protected] 2 Abstract This article contributes to our understanding of popular thinking about happiness by exploring the work of David E Kelley, the creator of the television program Ally McBeal and an important philosopher of happiness. Kelley's major points are as follows. He is more ambivalent than is generally the case in popular philosophy about many of the traditional sources of happiness. In regard to the maxim that money can't buy happiness he gives space to characters who assert that there is a relationship between material comfort and happiness, as well as to those that claim the opposite position. He is similarly ambivalent about the relationship between loving relationships and happiness; and friendships and happiness. In relation to these points Kelley is surprisingly principled in citing the sources that he draws upon in his thinking (through intertextual references to genres and texts that have explored these points before him). His most original and interesting contributions to popular discussions of the nature of happiness are twofold. The first is his suggestion that there is a lot to be said for false consciousness.

Though Barbie serves primarily and properly as a toy for children, much of this attention has been generated by the secondary role she plays in popular culture—artifact of female representation. Barbie is no ordinary toy. She mimics the female form. She stands for woman within the games of make-believe in which children involve her. She functions as a tool for self-imagining. It is Barbie’s secondary nature as a representation of woman that creates special quandaries for feminist aestheticians, quandaries that are both cultural and philosophical.1 Included among the former are America’s attraction to public personas, the influence of the acting industry on female representation, and the tacit roles iconic figures play in shaping the attributes of female beauty.

  • White Supremacist Prison Gangs in the United States a Preliminary Inventory Introduction
    White Supremacist Prison Gangs in the United States A Preliminary Inventory Introduction With rising numbers and an increasing geographical spread, for some years white supremacist prison gangs have constitut- ed the fastest-growing segment of the white supremacist movement in the United States. While some other segments, such as neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan, have suffered stagnation or even decline, white supremacist prison gangs have steadily been growing in numbers and reach, accompanied by a related rise in crime and violence. What is more, though they are called “prison gangs,” gangs like the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, Aryan Circle, European Kindred and others, are just as active on the streets of America as they are behind bars. They plague not simply other inmates, but also local communities across the United States, from California to New Hampshire, Washington to Florida. For example, between 2000 and 2015, one single white supremacist prison gang, the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, was responsible for at least 33 murders in communities across Texas. Behind these killings were a variety of motivations, including traditional criminal motives, gang-related murders, internal killings of suspected informants or rules-breakers, and hate-related motives directed against minorities. These murders didn’t take place behind bars—they occurred in the streets, homes and businesses of cities and towns across the Lone Star State. When people hear the term “prison gang,” they often assume that such gang members plague only other prisoners, or perhaps also corrections personnel. They certainly do represent a threat to inmates, many of whom have fallen prey to their violent attacks.

  • Change Is Good!
    Winter 2014 Camp Akeela SM Circular A Letter from Debbie and Eric Change Is Good! Dear Campers, We’ve had big changes in our lives since the end of the last camp season. Most significant was the arrival of our daughter, Julia, in September. Having a new baby presents challenges of course: being up in the middle of the night, planning grocery store trips around nap times, trying to stay healthy! It also has its amazing side: Margo ADORES being a big sister and is clearly Julia’s favorite person to be with. Julia makes us all laugh and is a very cuddly and happy baby. Change is always hard – even when it’s fun. It’s hard to adjust to new experiences but we usually find that after a short time, we can’t imagine the way life used to be. We think that’s exactly the way first-time campers feel about Akeela! We had the chance to meet a prospective camper last week on the internet. When we asked him how he felt about coming to camp for the first time, he said, “Well, I’m worried – I don’t do well with change.” It’s an honest answer we hear very often. We think most people are comfortable sticking with what they know. It is far less complicated to lead a life that is very predictable. Routines make us feel safe and secure. When we know what to expect, we don’t have to worry that we will do the wrong thing, or that we won’t be able to cope if things are hard.

  • LGBTQ Episodic Television Study Guide
    Archive Study Guide: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER TELEVISION: SITCOMS AND EPISODIC DRAMAS ARCHIVE STUDY GUIDE The representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on television is marked by a history of stereotypes and inexplicable invisibility. By the 1970s, gay media-watch groups communicated their concerns to the television industry and a sense of cooperation began to emerge between the LG BT community and broadcasters. During the 1980s, the AIDS crisis and resulting prejudices ushered in a new era of problematic and offensive portrayals. In the late 1990s, Ellen Degeneres' landmark coming out, (both in real- life, and through the character she portrayed in her sitcom), generated much controversy and discussion, ultimately paving the way for well -developed gay characters in prominent primetime TV roles. Despite such advances, stereotypes continue to resurface and perpetuate, and the full diversity of the LGBT community is more often than not underrepresented in the mass media.
