MaJor events like legislative rulings and pride parades will primarily be explored as markers of where we are in time through this essay. The goal of this thesis is to examine the layers of history that encompass queerness in Aotearoa up to present day.

  • Fa'afafine and Whakawahine
    A comparative study of the fa’afafine of Samoa and the whakawahine of Aotearoa/New Zealand by Ashleigh McFall A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts by thesis in Gender and Women’s Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2013 ii Abstract This study explores the meaning of the fa’afafine of Samoa and the whakawahine of Aotearoa/New Zealand. I compare and contrast the experiences of six fa’afafine and four whakawahine. I also examine the historical evidence for the existence of fa’afafine in Samoa and whakawahine in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The theoretical approaches underlying this research incorporate feminist, indigenous, and queer aspects but oral history is the primary theory and method used. As a fa’afafine who researched her own identity and whakawahine, the complexities of insider and outsider are explored. This thesis discusses how narrators understand and/or make meaning of western categories of identification such as gay, transgender, drag queen and/or transsexual. These categories are largely rejected; preference for the culturally specific terms fa’afafine (Samoan) and whakawahine (Maori) are demonstrated. Narrators take issue with western researchers’ focus on sexual aspects of fa’afafine and whakawahine. For them, gender role, specifically feminine dress, behaviour and activities more accurately characterise their identities. This thesis argues that fa’afafine and whakawahine are fluid identities. How one behaves as a woman varies, but narrators insist that fa’afafine and whakawahine are born not made that way, and ‘feel’ like women. The meaning of fa’afafine and whakawahine is not static; westernisation, colonization and the availability of gender reassignment treatment have all impacted on how each narrator defines her identity.

Baker had no idea his creation would become an international emblem of liberation and inclusiveness, forever cementing his pivotal role in helping to define the modern LGBTQ movement. Rainbow Warrior is Baker’s passionate personal chronicle, from a repressive childhood in 1950s Kansas, to a harrowing stint in the US Army, and finally his arrival in San Francisco, where he bloomed as both a visual artist and social justice activist. His fascinating story weaves through the early years of the struggle for LGBTQ rights, when he Chicago Review Press worked closely with Milk, Cleve Jones, and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

  • Life Under the Jolly Roger: Reflections on Golden Age Piracy
    praise for life under the jolly roger In the golden age of piracy thousands plied the seas in egalitarian and com- munal alternatives to the piratical age of gold. The last gasps of the hundreds who were hanged and the blood-curdling cries of the thousands traded as slaves inflated the speculative financial bubbles of empire putting an end to these Robin Hood’s of the deep seas. In addition to history Gabriel Kuhn’s radical piratology brings philosophy, ethnography, and cultural studies to the stark question of the time: which were the criminals—bankers and brokers or sailors and slaves? By so doing he supplies us with another case where the history isn’t dead, it’s not even past! Onwards to health-care by eye-patch, peg-leg, and hook! Peter Linebaugh, author of The London Hanged, co-author of The Many-Headed Hydra This vital book provides a crucial and hardheaded look at the history and mythology of pirates, neither the demonization of pirates as bloodthirsty thieves, nor their romanticization as radical communitarians, but rather a radical revisioning of who they were, and most importantly, what their stories mean for radical movements today. Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older Than Words and Endgame Stripping the veneers of reactionary denigration and revolutionary romanti- cism alike from the realities of “golden age” piracy, Gabriel Kuhn reveals the sociopolitical potentials bound up in the pirates’ legacy better than anyone who has dealt with the topic to date. Life Under the Jolly Roger is important reading for anyone already fascinated by the phenomena of pirates and piracy.

  • Women Warriors
    Bowdoin College Professor Potholm Government 1028 Women at War: The Daughters of Mars Fall, 2019 20 year old Soviet sniper Roza Shanina, credited with 54 kills of German soldiers during World War II Department of Government and Legal Studies 9800 College Station • Brunswick • Maine 04011-8498 • Tel 207.725.3295 • Fax 207.725.3168 2 The Daughters of Mars: Women Warriors Any study of women at war through the ages must immediately start with the cogent judgment of Russian General Vasily Ivanovich Chuikov of the 62nd Soviet Army who, after the desperate struggle for Stalingrad during World War II, stated categorically, “Women soldiers proved themselves to be just as heroic in the days of fighting as men.” Regardless of how limited the participation of women in and leading armies has been throughout the course of human history, there is seemingly no a priori reason why they cannot be soldiers and warriors – and good ones at that – regardless of their sex. Myriads of women have already proven this, starting in pre- classical times and continuing to the present. There are – and have always been – many cultural, physical, military, and sexual arguments used by and in many different societies to oppose the participation of women in war and especially in combat. Many of these may have been good reasons in particular cultures but, on balance, none seem sufficient to refute the fact that women have been and can continue to be successful in battle. We will be examining many throughout much of the temporal and geographic range of war. At the end of the day, if we were looking at women in war strictly in terms of the Template of Mars, it would be difficult to argue with the notion of Dominique Lozzi that “Mars does not look at war through a male-centered lens, and therefore, neither should we.” From warrior queens to admirals and generals to individual soldiers, women have been in combat as active participants across vast reaches of time, space and society.

The title, PLAN/K, is a nod to the primarily fictionalized practice of walking the plank and a play on Plan B. Plan B, of course, signifies alternative plans in general, but it is also the name for the emergency contraceptive pill. If Plan B manages accidents, then Plan K cultivates accidents through writing strategies that privilege mishearing and misreading.
