I loved it. Every morning before school when I got to this lady’s day care, her TV would be blasting I Love Lucy. I’d sit on that smoky-smelling couch and soak up Lucy before walking to school. It makes me think how much we all crave representation, before we can even articulate that desire. I didn’t know it then, but it affirmed the very possibility of my future: It was solid proof that a funny woman can make money doing what she loves at the highest level, on a hit show. So, every few years, when the media starts asking “Can a human being with female anatomy actually be funny?,” the question strikes me as plain incorrect. Not only because I myself make my living from comedy, but also because as a tiny girl I saw a woman on TV using her talent to challenge a world that said women were best as housewives. Carol Burnett, Joan Rivers, Roseanne Barr, Katey Sagal, Tisha Campbell-Martin, Tichina Arnold, Sarah Silverman, all the women of SNL, and so many more have flown in the face of this bizarre question, to millions of fans. Yet the question persists, as respected intellectuals con- tinue to treat it with alarming earnestness. And when they do, I smell cigarettes, I taste Froot Loops, and I see Lucille Ball obliterating any doubts in all her black-and-white, timeless comedy glory. “I can’t say any more lines, or they have to pay me like a man.” 66 —CECILY STRONG, SNL WEEKEND UPDATE 9 When did you know you wanted to SARAH SILVERMAN be a comedian? “When an older lady asked three-year-old me ON THE ART where I got my pretty red hair, and I answered, OF DISHING ‘From the mailman,’ just as my dad and I had rehearsed.” IT AND —TAMALE SEPP, CHICAGO “The day I got TAKING IT suspended for being a ‘class clown.’” Candid, irreverent, and outrageous, this queen —BRI GIGER, LOS ANGELES of low-key hilarity is a stand-up comic who’s been open about her struggle with depression, a 10 Preshow drink: onetime Saturday Night Live cast member (at 22!), and one of the most multidimensional en- 20% 17% 13% tertainers in Hollywood.

This course looks at two pivotal writers at a watershed moment in British literary history, 1650-1700: John Dryden, and Aphra Behn. Through the works of these wonderful literary artists, we will consider five key themes: the crisis of civil war and questions of monarchy and rule; the Catholic-Protestant divisions of Britain with their ideological, cultural, and ethnic implications; the new empirical science against the backdrop of world exploration and colonization; the emergence of mercantile capitalism; and changing conceptions of sexuality and gender, particularly as women took up literary expression. We will examine poetry, drama, and prose in the context of a rich and waning baroque sensibility that was giving way to a more ‘modern’ world.

  • The Queer" Third Species": Tragicomedy in Contemporary
    The Queer “Third Species”: Tragicomedy in Contemporary LGBTQ American Literature and Television A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department English and Comparative Literature of the College of Arts and Sciences by Lindsey Kurz, B.A., M.A. March 2018 Committee Chair: Dr. Beth Ash Committee Members: Dr. Lisa Hogeland, Dr. Deborah Meem Abstract This dissertation focuses on the recent popularity of the tragicomedy as a genre for representing queer lives in late-twentieth and twenty-first century America. I argue that the tragicomedy allows for a nuanced portrayal of queer identity because it recognizes the systemic and personal “tragedies” faced by LGBTQ people (discrimination, inadequate legal protection, familial exile, the AIDS epidemic, et cetera), but also acknowledges that even in struggle, in real life and in art, there is humor and comedy. I contend that the contemporary tragicomedy works to depart from the dominant late-nineteenth and twentieth-century trope of queer people as either tragic figures (sick, suicidal, self-loathing) or comedic relief characters by showing complex characters that experience both tragedy and comedy and are themselves both serious and humorous. Building off Verna A. Foster’s 2004 book The Name and Nature of Tragicomedy, I argue that contemporary examples of the tragicomedy share generic characteristics with tragicomedies from previous eras (most notably the Renaissance and modern period), but have also evolved in important ways to work for queer authors. The contemporary tragicomedy, as used by queer authors, mixes comedy and tragedy throughout the text but ultimately ends in “comedy” (meaning the characters survive the tragedies in the text and are optimistic for the future).

IRONIC FEMINISM: RHETORICAL CRITIQUE IN SATIRICAL NEWS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design by Kathy Elrick December 2016 Accepted by Dr. David Blakesley, Committee Chair Dr. Jeff Love Dr. Brandon Turner Dr. Victor J. Vitanza ABSTRACT Ironic Feminism: Rhetorical Critique in Satirical News aims to offer another perspective and style toward feminist theories of public discourse through satire. This study develops a model of ironist feminism to approach limitations of hegemonic language for women and minorities in U.S. public discourse. The model is built upon irony as a mode of perspective, and as a function in language, to ferret out and address political norms in dominant language. In comedy and satire, irony subverts dominant language for a laugh; concepts of irony and its relation to comedy situate the study’s focus on rhetorical contributions in joke telling. How are jokes crafted? Who crafts them? What is the motivation behind crafting them? To expand upon these questions, the study analyzes examples of a select group of popular U.S.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. Although throughout this book, the identification of a Jewish "race" is associ­ ated with an anti-Semitic impulse, Jewish usage of "racial" terminology indi­ cates a certain ambivalence. See Harriet D. Lyons and Andrew P. Lyons, "A Race or Not a Race: The Question of Jewish Identity in the Year of the First Universal Races Congress;' in Ethnicity, Identity, and History, ed. Joseph B. Maier and Chaim I. Waxman, 499-518 (New Brunswick: Transaction Books, 1983). Even today, many Jews use the term "the Jewish race" with pride. 2. The Haskalah, or Jewish Enlightenment, which began in late eighteenth century, Germany, was a response to the European Enlightenment. Middle-class Jews, anxious to distance themselves from the ghetto and religious prejudice, sought to modernize Jewish communities by exposing them to secular thought. The Maskilim (the proponents of the Haskalah) believed that Jews were persecuted because they differed from dominant communities in terms of culture, language, education, dress and manners. By modernizing their schools, learning the spo­ ken language of the country in which they lived, and adapting their manners to those of their neighbors, it was hoped that individual Jews would be treated like any other citizens. 3. Steve Allen, Funny People (New York: Stein and Day, 1981), 11. 4. Most of the women listed here are not discussed further in this book, although I would like to suggest that they could be. Also, this study does not confine itself (at least in its earlier chapters) to comic performance. I present this list self­ consciously and order it alphabetically as an attempt at organization.

    lifestyle WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2015 FASHION Models present creations by Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace during the Haute Couture Spring- Summer 2015 Versace collec- tion show. — AP/AFP photos From left, Kate Hudson, Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace and Goldie Hawn pose as they arrive Kate Hudson reveals for the show of the Atelier Versace Spring-Summer 2015 Haute Couture fashion collection presented in Paris, France, Sunday. —AP/AFP photos derriere at Versace, Portman hits Dior t Paris’ high-octane couture week, what happens on the catwalk is only half the story. Academy Award Awinner Goldie Hawn and her daughter Kate Hudson made a surprise appearance at Atelier Versace in an atypi- cal family night out in Paris. But the real frenzy didn’t start until the 35-year-old “Almost Famous” star turned her back to the paparazzi. What was revealed - a very daringly-placed Versace cut- out - was a fashion coup Donatella could be proud of. Here are the highlights and tidbits of the first day of haute cou- ture collections, including show reports for Atelier Versace, Dior and Schiaparelli. Kate Hudson shows derriere Underwear is so passÈ (ask Rihanna). Hudson’s was just the latest name added to the list of stars to forgo under- wear in the name of fashion. The Oscar-nominated actress triggered hysteria by posing in a bright red cocktail dress from the new Atelier Versace Spring 2015 Collection with a cutout that demurely exposed her buttock. Knickers were nowhere to be seen. Her mother dressed more prudently in a black long sleeve cocktail dress with crystal zipper details from this year’s Versace Resort.
