    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Anarchic Intimacies: Queer Friendship and Erotic Bonds A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English by Laurence Hilary Dumortier March 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Jennifer Doyle, Chairperson Dr. Steven Gould Axelrod Dr. George E. Haggerty Copyright by Laurence Hilary Dumortier 2017 The Dissertation of Laurence Hilary Dumortier is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge the tremendous support and guidance of my dissertation committee, Jennifer Doyle, Steven Gould Axelrod and George E. Haggerty. Their advice, suggestions and encouragement have been invaluable. I also want to recognize how inspiring they have been to me as examples of brilliant scholarship, dedicated teaching, and personal integrity. I’m also grateful to Stephen Koch who granted me several lengthy personal interviews about his recollections of Peter Hujar and David Wojnarowicz, and who allowed me to study previously unpublished photographs and contact sheets from the Peter Hujar Archive. iv ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Anarchic Intimacies: Queer Friendship and Erotic Bonds by Laurence Hilary Dumortier Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in English University of California, Riverside, March 2017 Dr. Jennifer Doyle, Chairperson What makes a friendship “queer”? The queerness of the friendships I will explore in this project is, in part related to, but not co-extensive with, the sexual orientation of its participants. In all of the pairings I examine, at least one, if not both, of the friends is non- heterosexual. However, what makes the “queerness” of each of these friendships is not only the orientation of its participants, but the relationship’s exceeding of the conventional boundaries and definitions of friendships.

  • Art Department Speaker Series 2011-2012
    ART DEPARTMENT SPEAKER SERIES 2011-2012 Gosia Wlodarczak Tuesday, January 17th 12:00PM Western Gallery Walking Tour The Australian artist Gosia Wlodarczak is known for her performative drawings. She physically works on drawings while at her chosen sites and takes into account the cultural background of her locations, the specifics of the site itself, and timely situations, such as who are the viewers that particular day at the gallery. Her materials can range from paper, walls, and table cloths to "dust covers" for furniture. In residence at the Western Gallery January 17-27th, Wlodarczak will create an immersive, multi-disciplinary drawing installation titled Between Wander & Settlement. This series talks about human life's transitional stages, about travels, movements, and all the changes. Her installation will include: Skin of the Wall, a large drawing installation focusing on the tension between private and public spaces; The Train Trip: Szczecin-Poznan, an animated film/sound-drawing translating the views along a railroad track while traveling from Szczecin to Poznan (Poland); and Mt Baker Sound-Drawing, a new work to be developed on site. Harrell Fletcher & Wendy Red Star Wednesday, February 1st 12:00pm Fairhaven College Auditorium Harrell Fletcher, Professor of Art and Social Practice at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, has worked collaboratively and individually on socially engaged, interdisciplinary art and performance projects for over fifteen years.
