I, TOO, AM A WOMAN: AN EMANCIPATORY TEXT ON THE INTERSECTIONS OF RACE, GENDER, AND SEXUALITY by MICHELLE ALLEN (Under the Direction of Sabrina Ross) ABSTRACT This inquiry builds upon Black Feminism and Critical Race Feminist frameworks by exploring the juxtaposition between Black Women and Queer Black Women. It is also an exploration of the similarities between Queer Black Women and Black Women and how they interact with femininity and masculinity, patriarchy, and heteronormativity. Claiming digital space through podcasting, it honors the power of counter narratives by employing autoethnographical story telling. It examines the multivalent ways in which critical geographies, safe spaces, and homeplaces nurture or alienate Black Women on the basis of sexual orientation, gender performance, race, and social class. Employing tenets of Black Feminist Thought, Critical Race Feminism, Black Queer Studies, and Black Cultural Studies this work reveals that the gap between margins of Queer Black Womanhood and Black Womanhood is a critical geography ripe with the fertile soil necessary to nourish a reimagined Black Feminist Agenda that is complex, progressive, and inclusive.

She is the embodiment of Black Girl joy, Black Girl magic, and Black Girl beauty. For me, she represents future of Black Womanhood. If this dissertation is half as magic is she is, then it will heal oppressive wounds, grant marginalized folks true and complete freedom, and amplify the voices of LGBTQIA communities, Black Communities, and racial and ethnic minority Women. It is also dedicated to my late grandmother, Georgia Mae Allen. Her undying love and support is the driving force behind the woman I am today. “Hey granny, you stopped school at 4th grade to tend the fields with your daddy, but your grandbaby is a Doctor.” 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS “Whenever I am asked to teach, speak, direct a movie…I bring everyone who has ever been kind to me with me. Black, white, Asian, Spanish speaking, Native American, Gay, straight, everybody. I say, ‘Come with me. I’m going on the stage. Come with me, I need you now.” Long dead. You see? So, I don’t ever feel I have no help. I’ve had RAINBOWS in my clouds.’”-Maya Angelou Thank you to all of my rainbows: Family, Friends, Linesisters, Sorors, Soul Ties, Colleagues, and Mentors…I sincerely thank you. To my committee: Thank you all for your time, patience, diligence, wisdom, and your vast and varied knowledges. To every Black Woman Doctor in every field of endeavor, thank you. Your presence, scholarship, and resistance against hegemony expanded the realms of possibility for me and my place in this world. “We are here because we are your daughters as surely as if you had conceived us, nurtured us, carried us in your wombs, and then sent us out into the world to make our mark and see what we see, and be what we be, but better, truer, deeper because of the shining example of your own incandescent lives.”-Pearl Cleage 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................. 3 CHAPTER ......................................................................................................................... 6 1 THE PREAMBLE: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND .................................... 6 Personal and Social Relevance ............................................................................................ 6 Writing Context ................................................................................................................... 8 Research Context .............................................................................................................. 10 Theoretical Framework ..................................................................................................... 16 Methodology ..................................................................................................................... 17 Blogs, Vlogs, and Podcasts ............................................................................................... 23 Blogs. ....................................................................................................................... 23 Vlogs. ....................................................................................................................... 25 Podcasts. .................................................................................................................. 27 The Implementation and Analysis ............................................................................................ 31 Literature Review ...................................................................................................................... 32 Black Feminist Thought............................................................................................ 33 Critical Race Feminism and Intersectionality. .......................................................... 41 Black Sexual Politics and Black Queer Studies. ....................................................... 57 2 PRISONER IN MY OWN HOME: An Exploration of Homeplace and Belonging for Black Women and Queer Black Women .......................................................................... 61 Analysis ............................................................................................................................. 66 Homeplace ........................................................................................................................ 68 Sororities ........................................................................................................................... 69 Black Family ..................................................................................................................... 71 Black Church ..................................................................................................................... 74 3 BDSM: BI’S, DOM’S, STUDS, AND MARGINS: Black Women Sexualities ........... 78 Analysis ............................................................................................................................. 92 Bartering Sexuality for tact ............................................................................................... 94 The Queering of Black Female Sexuality ......................................................................... 99 4 “STRAIGHT” JACKETS AND WHITE ROOMS: Queering Gender and the Black Female Form ................................................................................................................... 106 Analysis ........................................................................................................................... 108 Gender Performativity ..................................................................................................... 109 Unwanted Roles and Stale Scripts .................................................................................. 113 Queering Womanhood .................................................................................................... 117 Regulatory Queerness ..................................................................................................... 118 Relationships ................................................................................................................... 120 Hetero-Femininity

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation : FEMINISM À LA QUEBEC
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation : FEMINISM À LA QUEBEC: IDEOLOGICAL TRAVELINGS OF AMERICAN AND FRENCH THOUGHT (1960-2010) Geneviève Pagé, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Claire Moses Department of Women’s Studies This dissertation examines the travelings of three concepts central to feminism – gender, queer, and intersectionality – as they move between the United States, France, and Quebec. The concept of gender, central to U.S. feminism, is relatively absent from feminist theory in France and Quebec until the 1990s; rather, drawing on Marxist and existentialist traditions, French and Quebec feminists will deploy the term “rapports sociaux de sexe” to identify that differences among women and men are grounded in social structure and, further, that the two classes, women and men, are constituted in hierarchicized relation. The term queer, linguistically subversive in English but lacking this potential when translated into French, is mainly resisted by French materialist feminists and feminist scholars in Quebec on the basis that it displaces social reality focusing instead on resistance through performance. Nonetheless, in Quebec, activists groups such as Les panthères rose are able to present a version of queer that also addresses systemic oppressions. Finally, the concept of intersectionality, theorized first by feminists of color in the U.S. trying to reconcile their allegiances to multiple struggles, provides a useful tool for analyzing the interaction between different systems of oppression and how they shape the lives of people differently located. In France, a similar desire to theorize multiple oppressions led to the development of the concept of “consubstantialité des rapports sociaux,” whereby social “rapports” of sex and of socio- economic class are co-constituted.

  • Checking the Checking Value in the Teapot Dome Scandal
    Communication Law Review Volume 15, Issue 2 (2015) Checking the Checking Value in the Teapot Dome Scandal David R. Dewberry, Ph.D. Rider University This article examines the history of journalism in the initial reporting of the Teapot Dome scandal to argue that the press falls short in fulfilling the checking value of the First Amendment. Similar arguments have been made about the press in other major scandals (e.g., Watergate, Iran-Contra, etc.). But this article exclusively focuses on the key journalistic agents in Teapot Dome including Frederick G. Bonfils and H. H. Tammen of the Denver Post, John C. Schaffer of the Rocky Mountain News, Carl Magee of New Mexico, and Paul Y. Anderson of the St. Louis Post- Dispatch, to demonstrate how they were more protagonists in the scandal, rather than members of the fourth estate. INTRODUCTION Political scandals reveal the worst and also the best of our democracy. The worst is that our public leaders have transgressed some norm or rule. The best is that the presence of scandals also suggests that a free press was able to enact what noted First Amendment scholar Vincent Blasi called “the checking value.” The checking value is “that free speech, a free press, and free assembly can serve in checking the abuse of power by public officials.”1 Furthermore, Blasi believes that free speech was a central and critical principle for the drafters of the First Amendment to “guard against breaches of trust by public officials.”2 As such, the American press is often dubbed the “watchdogs of democracy.”3 Given the press’s status in our democracy, its reputation sometimes reaches an undeserved mythic status.

  • Discourse and Identity: Representations of Women in Little Mix’S Songs
    DISCOURSE AND IDENTITY: REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN LITTLE MIX’S SONGS BY ALYA AISYAH BINTI AMRAN INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA 2020 DISCOURSE AND IDENTITY: REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN LITTLE MIX’S SONGS BY ALYA AISYAH BINTI AMRAN A Final Year Project submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of English for International Communications Kulliyyah of Languages and Management International Islamic University Malaysia JANUARY 2020 ABSTRACT Discrimination against women is a global issue and has been for years. Even in developing countries women experience biasness on the basis of their gender. The study aims to identify the different social roles and traits of women that can be found in song lyrics. Past studies explored various issues of what women face in their daily lives whether it be in education, social relationships and decision making in context of gender discrimination that are present in the media and songs. This is an exploratory study on representations of women in songs. The artist chosen for this study is the United Kingdom’s all female group, Little Mix. A qualitative research approach was used to fulfill the objectives of this research. A total of 29 Little Mix songs were chosen as the data and Membership Categorization Analysis was used as the framework of this research. Based on the analyses, a total of five social roles and three traits were found shared among women that were present in the songs. Women were represented both positively and negatively in Little Mix’s songs. The study may contribute to future studies that uses Membership Categorization Analysis as their framework of study.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.
