  • From “Telling Transgender Stories” to “Transgender People Telling Stories”: Transgender Literature and the Lambda Literary Awards, 1997-2017
    FROM “TELLING TRANSGENDER STORIES” TO “TRANSGENDER PEOPLE TELLING STORIES”: TRANSGENDER LITERATURE AND THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARDS, 1997-2017 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Andrew J. Young May 2018 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Dustin Kidd, Advisory Chair, Sociology Dr. Judith A. Levine, Sociology Dr. Tom Waidzunas, Sociology Dr. Heath Fogg Davis, External Member, Political Science © Copyright 2018 by Andrew J. Yo u n g All Rights Res erved ii ABSTRACT Transgender lives and identities have gained considerable popular notoriety in the past decades. As part of this wider visibility, dominant narratives regarding the “transgender experience” have surfaced in both the community itself and the wider public. Perhaps the most prominent of these narratives define transgender people as those living in the “wrong body” for their true gender identity. While a popular and powerful story, the wrong body narrative has been criticized as limited, not representing the experience of all transgender people, and valorized as the only legitimate identifier of transgender status. The dominance of this narrative has been challenged through the proliferation of alternate narratives of transgender identity, largely through transgender people telling their own stories, which has the potential to complicate and expand the social understanding of what it means to be transgender for both trans- and cisgender communities. I focus on transgender literature as a point of entrance into the changing narratives of transgender identity and experience. This work addresses two main questions: What are the stories being told by trans lit? and What are the stories being told about trans literature? What follows is a series of separate, yet linked chapters exploring the contours of transgender literature, largely through the context of the Lambda Literary Awards over the past twenty years.

  • Madonna's Postmodern Revolution
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2021, Vol. 11, No. 1, 26-32 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2021.01.004 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Rebel Madame: Madonna’s Postmodern Revolution Diego Santos Vieira de Jesus ESPM-Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil The aim is to examine Madonna’s revolution regarding gender, sexuality, politics, and religion with the focus on her songs, videos, and live performances. The main argument indicates that Madonna has used postmodern strategies of representation to challenge the foundational truths of sex and gender, promote gender deconstruction and sexual multiplicity, create political sites of resistance, question the Catholic dissociation between the physical and the divine, and bring visual and musical influences from multiple cultures and marginalized identities. Keywords: Madonna, postmodernism, pop culture, sex, gender, sexuality, politics, religion, spirituality Introduction Madonna is not only the world’s highest earning female entertainer, but a pop culture icon. Her career is based on an overall direction that incorporates vision, customer and industry insight, leveraging competences and weaknesses, consistent implementation, and a drive towards continuous renewal. She constructed herself often rewriting her past, organized her own cult borrowing from multiple subaltern subcultures, and targeted different audiences. As a postmodern icon, Madonna also reflects social contradictions and attitudes toward sexuality and religion and addresses the complexities of race and gender. Her use of multiple media—music, concert tours, films, and videos—shows how images and symbols associated with multiracial, LGBT, and feminist groups were inserted into the mainstream. She gave voice to political interventions in mass popular culture, although many critics argue that subaltern voices were co-opted to provide maximum profit.

  • Anecdotally Queer: the Then and There of My Prairie Home
    Jonathan Petrychyn Anecdotally Queer: The Then and There of My Prairie Home ABSTRACT This paper considers two contested spatial and temporal thresholds in relation to queer and trans life: the threshold between urban and rural, and the threshold between past and future. Through a discursive analysis of Chelsea McMullan’s 2013 documentary on trans singer-songwriter Rae Spoon My Prairie Home, I explore the queer possibilities situated between these thresholds and provide an opportunity to rethink our assumptions about queer and trans identities in rural spaces. Draw- ing together recent queer theory that reconceptualizes queerness as undecidability, Meghan Morris’s theory of anecdotal identity and Michel de Certeau’s philosophy of spatial stories, I argue that My Prairie Home offers us an anecdotal vision of queer rural life. The rural becomes queer and thus becomes an undecidable space that eTopia we cross on our way home. Contrary to the common perception that the urban is the only spatial configuration in which queers can flourish, I rescue the rural as a 1 necessary approach to thinking queer life. KEYWORDS: space and time; rural; anecdote; queer; transgender; futures ¤ Rural spaces are queer spaces. They have to be, if only for the simple fact that many queers call rural spaces home. This is a fact that many of us are prone to forgetting, with what Jack Halberstam calls “metronormativity”––that is, the narrative of queer migration from country to city, from rural homophobia to urban liberation—domi- nating and monopolizing the discursive space of queer life (Halberstam 2005: 36). This is not to say that rural spaces are necessarily marginalized spaces in relation to dominantly queer urban spaces, even though they do not hold enough power to be considered dominant.
