  • Unbecoming Adults: Adolescence and the Technologies of Difference in Post
    Unbecoming Adults: Adolescence and the Technologies of Difference in Post-1960s US Ethnic Literature and Culture DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James K. Harris, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Martin Joseph Ponce, Advisor Dr. Lynn Itagaki Dr. Jian Chen Copyright by James K. Harris 2017 Abstract Adolescence has always been a cultural construction. The designation of a separate space apart from the presumed innocence of childhood and the myths of autonomy and responsibility that come to define adulthood is a surprisingly modern phenomenon. As such, adolescence bears the traces of the ideologies of race, gender, sexuality, and nation that attend so much of the period that calls itself “modernity.” My dissertation asks how writers and artists of color imagine themselves into the archive of coming of age narratives in post-1960s US literature and culture. In thinking about the importance of identity in the period following the advent of nominal civil rights, I offer the “long(er) civil rights movement” as a way of resisting the move to periodize the struggles through which difference has historically accrued meaning in the US nation- state. Each chapter centers around a “technology,” the academy, the body, the entertainment industry, and the internet, which is essential to the formation of adolescent identity in the post-war era, alongside a key term in the lexicon of American culture that accrues added meanings when filtered through the experience of difference.

  • Assimilating Video
    Assimilating Video FEDERICO WINDHAUSEN At the end of the 1990s, New York City’s experimental-film scene seemed to be undergoing a revitalization, sparked by alternative screening venues such as the Robert Beck Memorial Cinema on the Lower East Side and Ocularis in Williamsburg, as well as programming initiatives at local museums, including The Cool World , the Whitney’s extensive survey of American experimental film and video art. A round - table of critics, curators, and practitioners, convened in 2000 by The Village Voice to consider this development, gave the overall impression of a thriving community with a catholic appreciation of different moving-image media. When critic J. Hoberman asked the group whether the film-video distinction was “still even an issue,” the answers were fairly prosaic, touching on the preference for format hybridity among students and the lack of acceptable video projection in classrooms. Doubtless aware of the long history of internal dissent and cross-disciplinary carping within such cir - cles, Hoberman capped the whole exchange by labeling it “very polite.” 1 Presumably also aware that medium-specificity had functioned as a discur - sive flash point for many years in experimental-film communities, Hoberman noted, in a brief postscript published later, that “the unexpected popularity” of the MoMA’s Big As Life retrospective of 8mm experimental film, “along with such other instances as Stan Brakhage’s frame-by-frame painting or the very different projection pieces orchestrated by Ken Jacobs and Luis Recoder . served as an example of ‘film outliving its death.’” 2 Roughly six months later, in The New York Press , critic and programmer Ed Halter also addressed the continuing relevance of photochemical film, but the position he articulates sharply contrasts with the roundtable’s picture of equable pluralism.

  • Fifty Shades of Criticism,Phillipe and Jorge’
    Alt-Health: Pandora’s Paradise The legalization of cannabis is nearly upon us and it is a move that I both applaud and dread. If we lived in a perfect world, with people who respected the properties and consequences of inebriates and used them to enhance life rather than replace it, there would be no contest. However, we don’t — so let’s look at the facts. First, the plus side. I have no idea why every state has not already made medical marijuana legal. There is enough clinical evidence to show that cannabis is highly effective in the treatment of many conditions, and in chronic illness its health benefits in ratio to harmful side effects make it a far less damaging choice for long-term use than pharmaceuticals. Medical marijuana research has also refined its properties to a science. It is now known that the non-psychoactive cannabinoids found in marijuana have medical properties as well as the THC components known to produce a high, making it possible to treat conditions with fewer of the mind-altering effects associated with pot. Medically regulated facilities dispense a product that has been reliably graded for every constituent. When it comes to recreational use of pot, there are advantages as well. Let’s be honest — people are always going to use recreational drugs, whatever the legalities. In a field that includes alcohol, crack, OxyContin and heroin, pot is by far the lesser of the existing evils. People who over-indulge or mix pot with drugs and alcohol are capable of causing damage both to themselves and to others, but no one has ever died from an overdose of the drug itself.

  • Phillipe & Jorge’S Cool, Cool World,Phillipe & Jorge’S Cool, Cool World: Thanksgiving Celebrations A
    Phillipe & Jorge’s Cool, Cool World: Donald Duck Dynasty Donald’s Duck Dynasty Phillipe and Jorge are giddy with excitement as we welcome the dysfunctional new First Family into our lives, a writhing snake pit of preening, self-absorbed poseurs who will take the reality show art of bringing a cringe-worthy dumpster load of rotten-brained inbreds to the national stage to new depths. Unfortunately, the president’s wife, Zsa Zsa, has elected to give Washington a miss, deciding instead to stay back home at the gilded Trump fortress in New York. There she will be dumping son Barron on a cadre of nannies while she curls up daily on her harem bed with a handle of vodka, listening to Rosetta Stone tapes and re-reading Michelle Obama’s speeches until her lips get tired. Meanwhile, liveried staff will be kept busy smuggling hot young Chippendale dancers up to the penthouse in the freight elevator to ease her ennui. We will also get more than we can take — ie, two minutes worth — of The Donald’s oily sons, Beavis and Butthead, two odious little slimeballs of the first water who make your skin crawl. When they are not on “safari” in Africa, shooting exotic prey that have been tethered to stakes so they can play Great White Hunter, they will be seeing how far they can stick their noses into the air, not realizing others are doing the same, mostly to avoid the stench that emanates from them. Then we have Ivanka the Terrible, the new “First Lady,” who will be performing her prime duty of rubbing up against aging, lecherous foreign dignitaries.
