    Passing: Intersections of Race, Gender, Class and Sexuality

    Passing: Intersections of Race, Gender, Class and Sexuality Dana Christine Volk Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In ASPECT: Alliance for Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought Approved: David L. Brunsma, Committee Chair Paula M. Seniors Katrina M. Powell Disapproved: Gena E. Chandler-Smith May 17, 2017 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: passing, sexuality, gender, class, performativity, intersectionality Copyright 2017 Dana C. Volk Passing: Intersections of Race, Gender, Class, and Sexuality Dana C. Volk Abstract for scholarly and general audiences African American Literature engaged many social and racial issues that mainstream white America marginalized during the pre-civil, and post civil rights era through the use of rhetoric, setting, plot, narrative, and characterization. The use of passing fostered an outlet for many light- skinned men and women for inclusion. This trope also allowed for a closer investigation of the racial division in the United States. These issues included questions of the color line, or more specifically, how light-skinned men and women passed as white to obtain elevated economic and social status. Secondary issues in these earlier passing novels included gender and sexuality, raising questions as to whether these too existed as fixed identities in society. As such, the phenomenon of passing illustrates not just issues associated with the color line, but also social, economic, and gender structure within society. Human beings exist in a matrix, and as such, passing is not plausible if viewed solely as a process occurring within only one of these social constructs, but, rather, insists upon a viewpoint of an intersectional construct of social fluidity itself.

Selzer Associate Professor of English Shirley Moody Assistant Professor of English Lovalerie King Associate Professor of English Director of the Africana Research Center Garrett A. Sullivan Professor of English Director of Graduate Studies, English *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT In the post-civil rights era, which is marked by the eradication of legalized racial boundaries, racial passing should be unnecessary and obsolete. Yet contemporary satirists have found satiric portrayals of racial passing to be productive on two levels. On a plot-level, they use passing to interrogate contemporary racial subjectivity and to both explore racial advances and to critique persistent racial inequities. On a structural level, they write fiction that challenges the prescriptive and restrictive aesthetic criteria that they believe African American fiction is required to meet. Ultimately, this fiction offers dynamic critiques of contemporary racial identity and textual production. These authors use satire to examine how the fictional depiction of racial identities/bodies informs, depends on, and dictates the textual body and vice versa. The purpose of the study is to draw on two parallel contemporary literary theories, racial passing and satire, in order to analyze the works of five of the most important and recognized contemporary satiric writers of the post-civil rights generation: Percival Everett, Paul Beatty, Mat Johnson, Trey Ellis, and Adam Mansbach.

    Copyright 2014 Jennifer Anderson Bliss PICTURING THE UNSPEAKABLE: TRAUMA, MEMORY, AND VISUALITY IN CONTEMPORARY COMICS BY JENNIFER ANDERSON BLISS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature with a minor in Cinema Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Brett Kaplan, Chair Professor Michael Rothberg Associate Professor James Hansen Professor Nancy Blake ii Abstract This dissertation explores the intersections of memory and trauma in comics, arguing that the interrelations of the visual and the textual elements of this medium allow for an expanded understanding of how representations of trauma and memory function. This project argues for the centrality of trauma studies in comics and graphic narratives, as well as the centrality of visuality—that is, how we see and how we understand what we see—in trauma studies. Moving away from a model of literary trauma studies that focuses on “the unspeakable,” this dissertation proposes that we look instead at the intersections of the visible and invisible, the speakable and the unspeakable, through the manipulation of space and time in the comics medium. Investigating these possibilities, my research spans national and generic boundaries in order to tease out the inherent qualities of traumatic representations in the medium itself. This analysis moves from superheroes to 9/11to epilepsy to family photographs, and from America to France to Rwanda, showing the ways in which comics’ juxtapositions of words and images, past, present, and future, and presence and absence, create possibilities for representing trauma and memory.

    Jim Morrison: P r o j e c t e d R u m o u r * by LeonBarnard “Testing The Bounds of Reality” copyright 1987 ~ all rides reserved rewritten: July 1, 2013 MorrisonMoments.Com in the beginning... One word leads into another until they all add up to make a sentence. In 1970 Jim Morrison was sentenced to three years in Raiford Prison in Dade County, Florida for misusing his words during a Doors’ concert there in 1969. Although no photography was presented at his trial showing genital exposure, Jim had threatened theatrically to do so, and the power of suggestion & hysteria that followed convicted him of a crime he did not actually commit. Was it lewd and lascivious behavior in public? Perhaps yes, if you consider bad language to be detrimental to the health and well being of an audience populated primarily by teenagers. But do you really suppose he exposed himself and nobody took a picture? Hundreds of flesh-seeking flash cubes signaled the use of myriad instamatics that evening, yet none recorded a single inch of evidence revealing Morrison’s prick at posterity. Time passed future opportunity... Months later, Jim and I had lunch together weeks before his flight to Paris where he eventually disappeared. We talked about his trial of tribulation and the probability of serving several years behind bars in the slammer. During the conversation he touched lightly on his thoughts for the future and mentioned the possibility of a change in identity. We joked about his putting on blackface and going underground ‘incognegro’, but that was just because we couldn’t resist the play on words, and it had absolutely nothing to with anything racial, just facial.
