    2/25/2021 A Look In Our Lives: Mary J. Blige's My Life, The 4991 Series, and Black Women's Narratives as Working Cultural Memories - Ada New … ISSUE NO. 6 A Look In Our Lives: Mary J. Blige’s My Life, The 4991 Series, and Black Women’s Narratives as Working Cultural Memories Regina N. Bradley The initial inspiration for my critical dialogue project The 4991 Series stemmed from fleeting moments of nostalgic recognition that some of my favorite albums and films were turning twenty years old. The string of pivotal moments from 1994’s year in black music paralleled my own coming of age story growing up black in the 1990s. While select anniversaries have been discussed at length – i.e. Nas’ Illmatic album – little attention focuses on staple moments from 1994 produced by or featuring black women. TLC’s CrazySexyCool, Mary J. Blige’s My Life, Aaliyah’s Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number, Da Brat’s Funkdafied, and Brandy’s Brandy are major milestones in popular music that update the trajectory of black women’s narratives in American culture. Thus, the premise of The 4991 Series is to highlight these albums as entry points for discussing late 20th and 21st century race, gender, and identity politics. A Breakdown of The 4991 Series Production Process Aesthetic Influences The 4991 Series exists as a crux of public space, race, and popular scholarship. Perhaps most unique about this project is the intentionally unorthodox approach to scholarship and archive – the loose, conversational style of the interview/dialogue format is meant to reflect the unorthodox if not messy experiences of being black and female in a deemed postracial era – post everything? – society.

  • QUEER UTOPIA and REPARATION: RECLAIMING FAILURE, VULNERABILITY, and SHAME in DRAG PERFORMANCE by Rodrigo Peroni Submitted to C
    QUEER UTOPIA AND REPARATION: RECLAIMING FAILURE, VULNERABILITY, AND SHAME IN DRAG PERFORMANCE By Rodrigo Peroni Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Critical Gender Studies. Supervisor: Professor Eszter Timár Second Reader: Erzsébet Barát CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2017 Abstract This thesis discusses the critical and queer utopian potential of two performances by Ongina and Alaska Thunderfuck - two contemporary American drag queens. Based on Ongina’s “Beautiful” lip-sync performance and Alaska Thunderfuck's “Your Makeup Is Terrible” video clip, I argue that the performance of failure, vulnerability, and shame troubles multiculturalist discourses for their perpetuation of the neoliberal and masculinist values of individual success (chapter 1), authentic autonomy (chapter 2), and proud stable identity (chapter 3). While and because these performances defy the drag genre’s conventions and drive us to reconsider the prevalent forms of resistance to heterosexism, they also engender a queer utopian potential that allows the imagining and experiencing of alternative ethics. I rely on José Esteban Muñoz’s concept of disidentification and Eve Sedgwick’s notions of paranoid and reparative reading to propose queer communitarian bondings that are not radical nor durable but more inclusive and self-transformative. By interpreting ugliness as failure, I argue that in uglifying themselves Ongina and Alaska expose the meritocracy of neoliberalism and suggest an ethics based not on aesthetic pleasure but on a reparative appreciation of the awful that queers the very notion of community for not holding on to stable identities nor individual achievements. Drawing on a Levinasian discussion of vulnerability and care, I discuss how Alaska disidentifies with the reality TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race's deployment of vulnerability as relatable authenticity while suggesting an alternative ethics with which to encounter the Other based on witnessing, risk, and ungraspability.

Regardless of the textures he chooses to bring to a recording, he says that “in some ways, nothing has really changed since The Beatles. It’s essentially done the same exact way. It’s just easier now in the sense that you can have one person do everything on a laptop. Even that really hasn’t changed the way music is put together.” Mokran barely envisioned the course his life would take when he came to DePaul. Initially recruited to play soccer, Mokran eventually left the team to pursue music full time. He never regretted his decision. “The first day I walked into the School of Music, I heard the amazing level of musicianship from the students, and I thought, ‘This is definitely the place for me.’” From taking classes with leading professionals to participating in impromptu jam sessions with his peers, Mokran remembers, “There was always something going on.” As a guitarist with his own band making demos on a four-track recorder, he seemed Mixing It Up With Peter Mokran, headed for a career on stage rather than behind the scenes.

  • A Rising Star Falls
    A Rising Star Falls http://elsegundousd.com/eshs/bayeagle/features/september/aaliyah.htm A Rising Star Falls Many inspired by her music were shocked Saturday August 25, to hear the tragic news that Aaliyah who was only 22 had died in a plane crash. It was hard to believe that the one true artist and actress that everyone loved so much was gone. Many thought that it was a rumor, but when the truth was told, it struck them hard. Junior Will Parker said," When I heard on the news that Aaliyah had died I was surprised and shocked." Aeliyatte(Aaliyah) Haughton was born in Brooklyn, NY, Janurary16, 1979. At the age of 5, she moved to Detroit. She began performing professionally at the age of 9. By the time she was 11, Aaliyah was singing with Gladys Knight, her aunt, in Las Vegas. Before finishing high school she released her solo debut, 1994's Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, which went platinum. After marrying her producer R. Kelly, Aaliyah retuned in 1996 with her album One in a Million. Aaliyah was widely known for her talent as an actress and a singer. With songs such as "One in a Million" and "Try Again", she became a big hit. Aaliyah was featured in the Anastasia soundtrack with "Journey to the Past" and also in the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack with "Are You That Somebody." Her third album Aaliyah debuted at #2 after being released two months ago, but after six weeks it had slipped to #19, however, due to her fans support, her CD is back on top at #1.
