    Know Announces the 2016 Cincinnati Fringe Festival Lineup Lady Luck Shines Upon the 13Th Annual Cincy Fringe!

    Know announces the 2016 Cincinnati Fringe Festival Lineup Lady Luck shines upon the 13th Annual Cincy Fringe! Know Theatre of Cincinnati wants you take a chance by picking a show, any show, at the 13th ​ ​ Annual Cincinnati Fringe Festival, running May 31­June 11, 2016. We’re once again set to ​ ​ ​ welcome over 8,000 visitors to Downtown and Over­the­Rhine as we transform over a dozen locations into temporary performance spaces and present the region’s largest theatre and arts festival that’s Kinda Weird. Like You. With 12 days full of of opportunities to catch 50 live ​ ​ ​ ​ productions, Visual Fringe art projects, musical guests, and the nightly Fringe Bar Series at Know Theatre (Fringe Headquarters), you’ll find yourself lucky to have more to experience at Fringe this year than EVER BEFORE! This year saw a record­shattering 105 applications, which made the task of selecting a final ​ ​ lineup of productions extremely difficult. Chris Wesselman, Associate Producer of Cincy ​ ​ Fringe, says, “It’s a blissful marathon, pouring through so many wonderful, thought­provoking and laugh­inducing applications; final choices are always tough because you want to see them all brought to life. Every year the passion and ingenuity brought to us by these artists further ​ cements the fact that Fringe is the place to find modern theatre’s true pioneers.” This year the Cincy Fringe Selection Jury, which adjudicates all submissions for the Primary ​ ​ Lineup (including FringeNext), was increased to a whopping thirty jurors in order to further ​ ​ expand feedback and ensure a lineup that is as diverse and varied in themes and disciplines as possible.

  • The Culture of Queers

    The Culture of Queers

    THE CULTURE OF QUEERS For around a hundred years up to the Stonewall riots, the word for gay men was ‘queers’. From screaming queens to sensitive vampires and sad young men, and from pulp novels and pornography to the films of Fassbinder, The Culture of Queers explores the history of queer arts and media. Richard Dyer traces the contours of queer culture, examining the differ- ences and continuities with the gay culture which succeeded it. Opening with a discussion of the very concept of ‘queers’, he asks what it means to speak of a sexual grouping having a culture and addresses issues such as gay attitudes to women and the notion of camp. Dyer explores a range of queer culture, from key topics such as fashion and vampires to genres like film noir and the heritage film, and stars such as Charles Hawtrey (outrageous star of the Carry On films) and Rock Hudson. Offering a grounded historical approach to the cultural implications of queerness, The Culture of Queers both insists on the negative cultural con- sequences of the oppression of homosexual men and offers a celebration of queer resistance. Richard Dyer is Professor of Film Studies at The University of Warwick. He is the author of Stars (1979), Now You See It: Studies in Lesbian and Gay Film (Routledge 1990), The Matter of Images (Routledge 1993) and White (Routledge 1997).

  • Queensland's Queer Press

    Queensland's Queer Press

    Queensland’s Queer Press Queensland’s Queer Press Shirleene Robinson Since the 1970s, there has been a strong and active gay and lesbian press in the southern parts of Australia. This press emerged later in Queensland than in the southern states but today it reaches many queer Queenslanders and performs a vital and multifaceted role.1 While this press provides essential representation and visibility for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) population of Queensland, it also embodies a number of tensions inherent in this community. This article charts the development and history of the print media run by and for the queer community of Queensland, particularly focusing on the two major GLBTIQ periodicals currently available in Queensland. These are Queensland Pride, published monthly, and Q News, published fortnightly. The article explores the conflicts that exist in that queer print media, arguing that Queensland’s queer press has struggled to adequately represent what has become an increasingly multifarious and diverse GLBTIQ ‘community’. These periodicals posit themselves as being driven by community service. This role is constrained, however, by their dependence on advertising revenue. This revenue is necessary for their survival but clearly limits the extent to which they can provide independent advocacy or representation for the GLTBIQ community. There are also potential conflicts of interest involved in running advertisements from what is still a small GLTBIQ business community. Problems of unequal representation are also inherent in this press. To a very large extent, Queensland’s queer press has targeted a gay male audience, as opposed to a lesbian, bisexual, transgender or broader ‘queer’ audience.

  • Reading Black Queer Vernacular in Black Literatures of the Americas, 1903-1967

    Reading Black Queer Vernacular in Black Literatures of the Americas, 1903-1967

    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: “YOUSE AWFUL QUEER, CHAPPIE”: READING BLACK QUEER VERNACULAR IN BLACK LITERATURES OF THE AMERICAS, 1903-1967 Seth Clark Silberman, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Carla L. Peterson Department of English Read together, twentieth-century representations of black male homoerotism and homosexuality written up to the Black Arts movement shape and complicate traditional definitions of a black racial literary canon. Far from marginal or clandestine, these black men differently depicted in prose and verse continue the kinds of “networks of affiliation” that Saidiya Hartman finds in the communal connections that shaped black life in the nineteenth-century US during slavery and Reconstruction, ones based on the “metaphorical aptitude” demonstrated by black vernacular folk tales and songs. Community founding was necessarily agile. It depended on presence of mind more than melanin as a strategy to wrest the sign of “blackness” from flesh indicating enslavement. It also incorporated rather than homogenized differences within a black racial “community among ourselves,” as Hartman calls it. “Youse awful queer chappie” examines how that kind of wily solidarity and resistance supports a body of texts that both contribute to a black literary tradition that Henry Louis Gates, Jr. characterizes as a gathering of “talking books” as well as fashion a particular hermeneutic and technique I call “black queer vernacular.” Sometimes, but not always, with the word queer, the black writers I study with this manuscript, tell a story of black masculinity not fungible but mobile. Any individual text or author provides merely one nexus in a textual technique of characters, types, words, and images that demonstrates how the sign of “blackness” incorporates both race and sexuality.
