    EXPLORING THE COMPOSITION AND FORMATION OF LESBIAN SOCIAL TIES by LAURA S. LOGAN B.A., University of Nebraska at Kearney, 2006 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2008 Approved by: Major Professor Dana M. Britton Copyright LAURA S. LOGAN 2008 Abstract The literature on friendship and social networks finds that individuals form social ties with people who are like them; this is termed “homophily.” Several researchers demonstrate that social networks and social ties are homophilous with regard to race and class, for example. However, few studies have explored the relationship of homophily to the social ties of lesbians, and fewer still have explicitly examined sexual orientation as a point of homophily. This study intends to help fill that gap by looking at homophily among lesbian social ties, as well as how urban and non-urban residency might shape homophily and lesbian social ties. I gathered data that would answer the following central research questions: Are lesbian social ties homophilous and if so around what common characteristics? What are lesbians’ experiences with community resources and how does this influence their social ties? How does population influence lesbian social ties? Data for this research come from 544 responses to an internet survey that asked lesbians about their social ties, their interests and activities and those of their friends, and the cities or towns in which they resided. Using the concepts of status and value homophily, I attempt to make visible some of the factors and forces that shape social ties for lesbians.

I engage with feminist discourses around lesbian SM within the so- called feminist sex wars of the 1980s, tracing the sometimes dramatic rise to prominence of lesbian SM as a feminist issue. Entwined in this web of controversy, I assert, is the story of a perceived fundamental split in the feminist movement between those who believed SM was patriarchal, abusive and violent, and those who saw it as a consensual expression of sexual freedom and liberation.

  • Eva Krainitzki
    Exploring the Hypervisibility Paradox: Older Lesbians in Contemporary Mainstream Cinema (1995-2009) Eva Krainitzki A thesis submitted to The University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Media, Arts and Technology July 2011 1 0 Abstract This thesis explores the intersection of age, gender and sexuality in representations of older lesbian characters in contemporary narrative film. Taking the 1990s as a benchmark of lesbian visibility, I explore the turn of the century representability by focusing on British and American film (1995 to 2009). I identify a hypervisibility paradox during this period of cinematic production where the presence of a multitude of young lesbian and bisexual characters can be seen to be in complete contrast with the invisibility of the older lesbian. Mainstream postfeminist culture censors the ageing female body, except in its ‘successfully aged’, youthful, heterosexualised form. Older lesbian characters are excluded from this frame of visibility and, instead, are represented through paradigms associated with the concept of ‘ageing as decline.’ There is little in existing age studies or lesbian film studies to articulate an understanding of the intersection of age, gender and sexuality in cinematic representation. I adopt an interdisciplinary cultural studies approach to make my contribution in what is an under-researched area and present a multifaceted approach to a complex cultural image. I investigate the continuity of the concept of the lesbian as ghostly (Castle, 1993) through narratives of illness, death and mourning. I argue that the narrative of ‘ageing as decline’ stands in for the process of ‘killing off’ lesbian characters (identified in 1960s and 1970s cinema).

  • The 1978 “A Lesbian Show” Exhibition: the Politics of Queer Organizing Around the Arts and the Fight for Visibility in American Cultural Memory
    The 1978 “A Lesbian Show” Exhibition: The Politics of Queer Organizing around the Arts and the Fight for Visibility in American Cultural Memory AMST 350: Fall „10 Professor Paul Fisher December 20, 2010 By Anna J. Weick 1 Introduction “The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting".1 -Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting Our history is our lifeblood. We look to the past to create ourselves, affirm our beliefs, and to legitimize our dreams and ambitions. With a historical erasure of real human identities, individuals in society struggle against the constant onslaught of bigotry with no stories of past success or positive expression. Gay history has been systematically ignored, repressed, and forgotten by American society. In particular, a historical memory of GLBTQ arts remains non-existent. Art by women, especially by queer women, has been deemed unimportant, self-involved, child- like, without skill, over-emotional, silly, trivial, ugly, passé, but it has never been truly legitimized by society or by our historical memory. A hostility towards the memory of GLBTQ art history and support for lesbian and gay art undermines aims of queer liberation. Queer Americans deserve, as do women, people of color and all those oppressed by the military-industrial complexes controlling the resources and people of the world, the dignity of accurate historical representation and a legitimization of their identities. The acknowledgement of Queer history is integral to and intimately connected to social equality. When people blindly believe that the historical record is a collection of apolitical facts, dangerous assumptions are upheld, and movements towards a forward-thinking, diverse and accepting, peace-seeking society are threatened.

Review of A Politically Incorrect Feminist by Phyllis Chesler Abstract Phyllis Chesler’s new memoir, A Politically Incorrect Feminist (St. Martin's Press, 2018), spans almost fifty years of second-wave feminism. She names 100s of women, both famous and virtually unknown today who took part in the awakening and growing women’s movement, marching, sitting-in, writing and organizing since the 1960’s. It is the personal life story of one of the earliest feminist authors and political activists of the second- wave, the author of Women and Madness and 17 other books. Chelser discusses major issues of the time and provides an insider’s view of many of the feminism’s most significant public events.

  • “That Women Could Matter”: Building Lesbian Feminism in California, 1955-1982
    “That Women Could Matter”: Building Lesbian Feminism in California, 1955-1982 By Chelsea Nicole Del Rio A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Emeritus Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez, Chair Associate Professor Rebecca M. Kluchin, California State University, Sacramento Associate Professor Matthew D. Lassiter Associate Professor Rachel Neis Associate Professor Gayle S. Rubin Dedicated to Millie and Ernie Taylor, and to Gaby, who continue to be my home though they are now gone, and to the many women, past and present, who inspired this work. ii Acknowledgements “‘That Women Could Matter’” feels to me deeply personal and at the same time so much bigger than me. In spite of work done mostly in solitude, save for my cats demanding their supper, this project would not have been possible without the help, support, and encouragement offered by so many during my Ph.D. path. First, my thanks to my dissertation committee. I have been fortunate to learn from and be guided by smart, supportive faculty: Regina Morantz-Sanchez, Matthew Lassiter, Rachel Neis, Gayle Rubin, and Rebecca Kluchin. Gina quickly jumped into the role of advisor when I unexpectedly found myself in need of one right in the middle of prelims and has continued to ensure I have a champion in my corner. From our first encounters Gina has pushed me to consider the broader implications of lesbian feminism and how it has changed modern society. Thank you for endlessly repeating the promise you see in the work I do.

  • American Feminist Manifestos and the Rhetoric of Whiteness
    AMERICAN FEMINIST MANIFESTOS AND THE RHETORIC OF WHITENESS Elliot C. Adams A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2006 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Lynda Dixon Graduate Faculty Representative John Warren Sue Carter Wood © 2006 Elliot C. Adams All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Using textual analysis, feminist and cultural theories, this study exposed the rhetorical reproduction of whiteness in language, examining how whiteness suffuses linguistic choices that appear to be unbiased. Throughout, it identified where and how whiteness operates as the motivating force in the social power structure of the United States by using certain feminist manifestos as an example of the rhetorical reproduction and performativity of whiteness. Feminist manifestos were chosen as the particular genre of study because while they do represent progress toward social justice in gendered power relations, they do not always or necessarily advance social justice in terms of race, class, or sexuality. Manifestos by white women were shown to include discursive choices that reinforce whiteness, whereas manifestos by women of color critiqued those choices, reminding white feminists that multiple identity factors always simultaneously affect women’s lives. Manifestos by white feminists were organized roughly chronologically, within the standard feminist divisions of First, Second, and Third Waves; this study problematized that historical construction by emphasizing the ways in which, as another function of whiteness, the designation of waves as incorporating certain time periods has been a white feminist tool for structuring history. To show how women of color have always been aware of the multiplicity of issues oppressing women, this study grouped those manifestos together, highlighting their common arguments against white feminist’s singular call for gender equality.
