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.

  • Chapter 6: the Carceral Community
    “It’s a Lot of Good Men Behind Walls!”: Mass Incarceration and the Transformation of Romance in the United States Megan Comfort, University of California-San Francisco In press: Actes de la recherche en sciences sociales A discussion of the “social effects” or “collateral consequences” of the American model of mass incarceration on social and family life has emerged in recent years (Hagan and Dinovitzer 1999; Mauer and Chesney-Lind 2002; Pattillo, Weiman and Western 2004; Braman 2004). Keenly attuned to the poverty, unemployment, single-mother parenting, and other socio-economic burdens shouldered by those most affected by the United States’ punitive penal policies (see Tonry 1998: 3-30), researchers tend to position incarceration as the catalyst of these woes – that is, being sentenced to spend time in jail or prison is claimed to be the disruptive force that results in job loss, family disintegration, social ostracism, and the like. While punitive confinement does trigger an ever-increasing array of civil penalties such as disenfranchisement and restrictions on public welfare, housing, and educational benefits (Mele and Miller 2005), an in- depth analysis of women’s romantic relationships with prisoners demonstrates that correctional institutions can grant a surprising measure of control to these women in their dealings with men. Indeed, prisons can provide structures for enacting the gendered roles of nurturer and caregiver as well as substitute sites for domestic and conjugal life that, paradoxically, may be preferable to or easier to manage than the chaos and stress of the family home. This article primarily draws upon nine months of intensive fieldwork at northern California’s San Quentin State Prison, which currently houses upwards of 6,000 men and occupies four hundred and thirty-two acres of prime real-estate property in Marin County, an affluent area north of the San Francisco Bay.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

  • ARTICULATIONS of COLORISM in POPULAR MEDIA, 1982-2012 By
    THE PUBLICNESS OF THE PRIVATE: ARTICULATIONS OF COLORISM IN POPULAR MEDIA, 1982-2012 by NICOLA AMANDA CORBIN (Under the Direction of James F. Hamilton) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the discursive production of colorism (intra-race gender and skin-color discrimination) in select popular media by using articulation as a theoretical and methodological foundation. Materials examined include Alice Walker’s (1983) nonfiction collection In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens: Womanist Prose and accompanying literary reviews, a random sample of 133 issues of Essence magazine, and the promotional trailer for the documentary Dark Girls, the film’s official online promotional materials and sites, and corresponding online responses. The project concludes that a key way colorism is produced discursively is through the articulation of a black women’s historically produced politics of respectability within a broader opposition between the private and the public. This articulation inhibits the critical potential of some challenges that have been made to colorism. The study concludes by suggesting ways for progressive challenge to colorism. INDEX WORDS: Race, gender, black women, colorism, Essence, Dark Girls, articulation, respectability politics, human skin color, intra-race discrimination, magazines, documentary, feminist theory, articulation theory THE PUBLICNESS OF THE PRIVATE: ARTICULATIONS OF COLORISM IN POPULAR MEDIA, 1982-2012 by NICOLA AMANDA CORBIN B.A., Seton Hall University, 1999 M.A., New York University, 2003 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ATHENS, GEORGIA 2013 © 2013 Nicola Amanda Corbin All Rights Reserved THE PUBLICNESS OF THE PRIVATE: ARTICULATIONS OF COLORISM IN POPULAR MEDIA by NICOLA AMANDA CORBIN Major Professor: James F.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
