  • ABSTRACT by John Nyrere Frazier for Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf Is a Choreopoem Performa
    ABSTRACT FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF: LIVING IN THE WORD AN EXAMINATION OF THE TEXT AND TRADITIONAL PERFORMANCES OF FOR COLORED GIRLS… AS A STUDY FOR A MULTICULTURAL PRODUCTION by John Nyrere Frazier for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf is a choreopoem performance play written and developed by Ntozake Shange. The piece grew out of an artistic collective which included Asians, Black Americans, Northern Continental Indigenes Peoples, European Americans, and Puerto Rican. The original west coast production included both Puerto Ricans and Asians. I believe that, that casting choice was as deliberate as Shange’s choices of language and content. Those multicultural women were bodied cultural references. In its move and further development, though, the casting changed to only include Black American women; narrowing the works physicalized cultural references. The major focus of my paper is to reconnect with Shange’s original casting choices as reasoning for re-widening casting and by extension, bodied cultural reference. My purpose is to lay the foundation for a return to the author’s original cultural intentions for the play which I assert were to write and perform a feminist piece that presented the lives and cultures of many “different kinds” (ethnicities/ cultures/ nationalities) of women. In addition, through the bodied references in the production, I intend to apply the work to the lives of more than just Black American and African American women; using the play as a feminist connective tissue between different women and differing feminisms that are all fighting again female oppression.

  • The Parallel Influences, Characteristics and Criticisms of the Blaxploitation Cinema and Gangsta Rap Movements Dustin Engels
    Engels: Baadassss Gangstas: The Parallel Influences, Characteristics and JOURNAL OF HIP HOP STUDIES . Baadassss Gangstas: The Parallel Influences, Characteristics and Criticisms of the Blaxploitation Cinema and Gangsta Rap Movements Dustin Engels Abstract Serving as two of the most visible African American cultural movements, blaxploitation cinema and gangsta rap played essential roles in giving African American artists an outlet to establish a new black identity for mainstream audiences. After exploring the similarities between the cultural and economic conditions that spawned both movements, this essay examines the parallel techniques by which the preeminent entries in both genres established themselves as culturally relevant for African American audiences. These techniques included a reliance on place and space to establish authenticity, as well as employing African American myths and folklore such as the Signifying Monkey and the badman. By establishing themselves as mainstream representations of black identity, the harshest critics and staunchest defenders of both movements came from within the African American community, a clear indication of the important role each would play in establishing a new era of black representation in popular culture. In October 2012, New Orleans rapper Curren$y released a mixtape online for his fans entitled Priest Andretti. Taking its name from the main character of the 1972 blaxploitation film Super Fly, this fourteen-track mixtape frequently pays homage to the blaxploitation movement that occurred in the early 1970s by incorporating clips from Super Fly throughout, as well as including songs entitled “Max Julien” (star of the 1973 film The Mack) and “Cleopatra Jones” (title character of the 1973 film Cleopatra Jones).

    CHARLES ADRIAN PILLARS (1870-1937), JACKSONVILLE‟S MOST NOTED SCULPTOR By DIANNE CRUM DAWOOD A THESIS PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2011 1 © 2011 Dianne Crum Dawood 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to acknowledge my thesis chair, Dr. Melissa Hyde, and committee members, Dr. Eric Segal and Dr. Victoria Rovine, for serving on this project for me. Their suggestions, insightful analysis, encouragement, and confidence in my candidacy for a master‟s in art history were important support. I also enjoyed their friendship and patience during this process. The wordsmithing and editing guidance of Mary McClurkin was a delightful collaboration that culminated in a timely finished paper and a treasured friendship. Assistance from Deanne and Ira in the search of microfilm and microfiche records turned a project of anticipated drudgery into a treasure hunt of exciting finds. I also appreciated the suggestions and continued interest of Dr. Wayne Wood, who assured me that Charles Adrian Pillars‟s story was worthy of serious research that culminated in learning details of his life and career heretofore unknown outside of Pillars‟s family. Interviews with Pillars‟s daughter, Ann Pillars Durham, were engaging time travels recalling her father and his celebrity and the family‟s economic and personal vicissitudes during the Great Depression. She also graciously allowed me to review her personal papers. Wells & Drew, the parent company of which was founded in Jacksonville in 1855, permitted my use of a color image, and The Florida Times-Union granted permission to use some of their photographs in this paper.

  • The Problem of Female Antagonisms in Blaxploitation Cinema Melissa
    1 Who’s Got the “Reel” Power? The Problem of Female Antagonisms in Blaxploitation Cinema Melissa DeAnn Seifert, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Abstract: Between 1973 and 1975, films starring Pam Grier and Tamara Dobson such as Cleopatra Jones (Jack Starrett, 1973), Coffy (Jack Hill, 1973) and Foxy Brown (Hill, 1974) introduced leading black women into the predominantly male blaxploitation scene as aggressive action heroines. Within the cinematic spaces of blaxploitation films which featured women as active agents, a racial and sexual divide exists. These films positioned women either inside or outside of gender tolerability by utilising binary constructions of identity based on race, sex and elementary constructions of good and evil, black and white, straight and gay, and feminine and butch. Popular representations of lesbianism and sisterhood within blaxploitation cinema reflect a dominant social view of American lesbianism as white while straight women are consistently represented as black. However, these spaces also constricted black and white female identities by limiting sexuality and morality to racial boundaries. This article seeks to question the unique solitude of these female heroines and interrogate a patriarchal cinematic world where sisterhood is often prohibited and lesbianism demonised. I don’t believe in [women’s lib] for black people … we’re trying to free our black men … I like being a woman. I have been discriminated against, but not because I’m a woman. It’s because I am black … before [people] see me as being female, they see me as being black. The stigma that’s been placed on you because you’re black gives you enough kill to get you through the woman thing … it’s much tougher being black than being a woman.
