  • Pride Politics: a Socio-Affective Analysis by Randi Nixon a Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For
    Pride Politics: A Socio-Affective Analysis by Randi Nixon A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Alberta ©Randi Nixon, 2017 ii Abstract: This dissertation explores the affective politics of pride in the context of neoliberalism and the multitude of way that proud feelings map onto issues of social justice. Since pride is so varied in both its individual and political manifestations, I draw on numerous instances of collective pride to attend to the relational, structural and historical contours of proud feelings. Given the methodological challenges posed by affect, I use a mixed- method approach that includes interviews, participant observation, and discourse analysis, while being keenly attuned to the tension between bodily materiality and discursivity. Each chapter attends to an “event” of pride, exploring its emergence during particular encounters with collective difference. The project fills a gap in affect theory by attending to the way that proud feelings play a vital role in both igniting the political intensity necessary to bring about change (through Pride politics), and blocking or extinguishing possibilities of respectful dialogue and solidarity across gendered, sexual, and racial difference. Across the chapters, pride is used as a conduit through which the complexity of affective politics can be examined. The proud events around and through which each chapter is structured expose paths of affect and its politics. Taken together, the chapters provide an initial blueprint for navigating contemporary affective politics. Through an examination of the discursive rendering of pride, I find that, across several literatures, two key characteristics of pride are its deep relationality between individuals and collectives, and the way it circulates, is managed, and emerges in relation to social hierarches and the value attached to political categories (race, class, gender, ability).

  • 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Rainbow Crosswalks Pilot
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Rainbow Crosswalks Pilot ‐ Lessons Learned What we did The City of Edmonton’s CITYlab, Transportation Planning and Transportation Operations collaborated on a pilot project to paint six crosswalks in rainbow colours at three different locations in the Old Strathcona area. The rainbow crosswalks were added in June 2015 to support the Old Strathcona Business Association and the Pride Festival. The pilot reimagined the existing public realm, brought additional awareness to Pride and provided an opportunity to monitor motorist behaviour at the crosswalks. Following the success of the pilot and the positive response from the general public, the City will be exploring a permanent rainbow crosswalk. Project Results The overall public response was overwhelmingly positive. Over 3200 people completed a survey to provide feedback on the initiative. Common themes were: o making the crosswalks permanent o showed the City’s support for the festival, the parade and the LGBTQ community o costs/money/tax dollars o contribution to the City’s image o pedestrian and driver safety Overall, the rainbow crosswalks did not decrease pedestrian safety. Stopping and encroaching behaviour differed at locations with and without the rainbow crosswalks. The observed motorist behaviour was consistent with the survey findings where people felt the rainbow crosswalks made intersections safer and were not a distraction. Example from the feedback: “The city should be constantly looking for ways to build diversity, creativity and community spirit, by incorporating similar low‐cost art installations in a wide range of locations, throughout the year.” Lessons Learned Community interest and support plus cross departmental collaboration within the City created a foundation for the pilot’s success.
