Though trans women of color, such as Laverne Cox and Janet Mock, are more visible in mainstream media than ever before, mainstream media still largely depicts trans people through white constructs of what it means to be trans, namely medicalized binary transitions.

  • A Film by Chris Moukarbel and Valerie Veatch Me @The Zoo a Film by Chris Moukarbel and Valerie Veatch
    ME @THE ZOO A FILM BY CHRIS MOUKARBEL AND VALERIE VEATCH ME @THE ZOO A FILM BY CHRIS MOUKARBEL AND VALERIE VEATCH ME @THE ZOO tells the story of Chris Crocker, a video blogger from a small town in Tennessee. Crocker is part of the first generation of kids raised on the Internet, coming of age under constant self- surveillance. His online videos, including the infamous YouTube declaration “Leave Britney Alone!”– have been viewed hundreds of millions of times and have created a worldwide phenomenon. This portrait weaves a tapestry of Internet media with reactions from Crocker fans and haters to examine a new controversial kind of fame: the Internet folk hero. ACQUIRED BY HBO (USA) AND BBC (UK) DIRECTOR’S WORD Like so many others, we first discovered Chris Crocker by being sent early online videos such as “Bitch Please” and “This or That”. The first question we asked was apparently a common one. “Is this real?” Years later we began making a film that asked the same question in a more general sense. We began a documentary about the history and impact of reality televi- sion. As ideas of consciousness shift in lockstep with new technology, “Reality” has become the dominant medium. Our film research took us around the world. We interviewed everyone from the cast of the original Dutch reality show, Hollywood executives and even a Reality TV School. In the end, this hunt for reality brought us to a small town in Tennessee and to Chris Crocker. Crocker was raised in the age of reality where anyone with a camera can become a star.

    Unintentional Dialogues on YouTube 1 Running Head: UNINTENTIONAL DIALOGUES ON YOUTUBE Unintentional Dialogues on YouTube RESEV 554: Semester Project Analysis Memo Laura Bestler Iowa State University December 15, 2008 Unintentional Dialogues on YouTube 2 Introduction The purpose of this video is to illustrate themes within the online user commentary reacting to Chris Crocker’s (2008) YouTube video titled, “Gay HATE on YouTube!” The central question of this study is how users intermittently engage about Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Questioning (LGTBQQ) topics represented on YouTube. The unintentional dialogues between users on YouTube™ are providing additional knowledge to what is happening within today’s society (Noblit, Flores, & Murillo, 2004). Online social networks are a natural place to employ post modern theory due to its playfulness, reflexivity, and the deconstruction of the cyber world (Noblit, Flores, & Murillo, 2004). The research findings demonstrate a connection between time and negative user reactions towards LGBTQQ topics. Why Online? An evolution of the online world has taken place to provide everyone the ability to create content. Social networks provided a way people to connect with friends, family and online social acquaintances. Similar to the offline world, user created content had begun to utilize hate language and expletives to describe people. These degrading interactions provided a catalyst for me to take action. This online social laboratory can be brought to light, deconstructed and transcended. Therefore, helping people understand their actions are broader than snippet commented online. These unintentional dialogues are broadcast around the world. The internet is an environment where people’s small gestures may become large, and it is a mirror or lens of the world around them (Popkin, 2008).

  • So You've Been Musically Shamed
    WILLIAM CHENG Dartmouth College Email: [email protected] So You’ve Been Musically Shamed ABSTRACT In July 2014, an anonymous source leaked the raw audio of Britney Spears’s confessional ballad “Alien.” Haters pounced on this star’s denuded voice, gleefully seizing on the viral artifact as a smoking gun for Spears’s deficits and for the pop industry’s artistic fakeries more broadly. My paper situates this flashpoint of Spears-shaming within late-capitalist archives of public humiliation, cyberleaks, and the paternalistic scrutiny of women’s bodies and voices. KEYWORDS: critical theory, media studies, popular music A marketplace has emerged where public humiliation is a commodity and shame is an industry. How is the money made? Clicks. The more shame, the more clicks. – monica lewinsky1 “Poor Britney Spears” is not the beginning of a sentence you hear often uttered in my household. – tony hoagland, “poor britney spears,” beginning of the poem2 In the summer of 2014, the internet sprang a musical leak. Suddenly circulating on YouTube was a video featuring the allegedly raw, non-Auto-Tuned sounds of Brit- 3 ney Spears singing her new album track “Alien.” Spears’s voice in this recording was noticeably off-key and off-kilter, like some abject artifact meant to be overwritten, for- gotten, abandoned on the cutting room floor. In the video’s comment threads, view- ers’ strident pronouncements of aching ears and melting brains swirled in a chorus of mockery. Haters pounced on the star’s denuded voice and offered it as airtight 1.

  • Camp 2.0: a Queer Performance of the Personal
    Communication, Culture & Critique ISSN 1753-9129 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Camp 2.0: A Queer Performance of the Personal Aymar Jean Christian Department of Communication, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA Camp, a style of performance in queer subcultures, is being reimagined in the online video portal of YouTube. Online performers—mostly young and queer—have infused camp with a neoliberal sense of individuality, emotional authenticity, and personal development, thereby challenging historical understandings of camp as wholly ironic and disengaged or politically charged. These shifts in self-presentation are reflected in statements made by performers in interviews and in the videos posted by these vloggers. doi:10.1111/j.1753-9137.2010.01075.x Britney Houston’s career shift came rapidly. Performing onstage as ‘‘Angel’’ in Rent, Houston started touring gay bars across the country, performing in drag for the very first time to benefit local gay causes. Discovering an untapped form of self-expression, Houston soon adapted her drag performance from the community-oriented space of the gay bar to the personal space of YouTube. The journey of Britney Houston from the traditional world of camp in bars—public yet impersonal—to the new world of online queer performance—public yet personal—marks a shift in the history and development of camp. Spurred by YouTube’s structure and broader social trends, I argue camp perform- ers like Houston are infusing sincerity, emotion, and deeper meanings of selfhood into ‘‘camp.’’ Camp, a decades-old convention among gay and queer performers, has a rich and complicated history, its meanings and forms periodically shifting and constantly debated.

    PLATFORMED RACISM: THE ADAM GOODES WAR DANCE AND BOOING CONTROVERSY ON TWITTER, YOUTUBE, AND FACEBOOK Ariadna Matamoros-Fernández BA Autonomous University of Barcelona MA University of Amsterdam Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Digital Media Research Centre Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2018 Keywords Platformed racism Race Racism Whiteness Critical Race Theory Colour-blindness Digital platforms Twitter Facebook YouTube Social media Technocultures Memetic culture Media practices Visual media Multiplatform issue mapping Platform governance i ii Abstract This research interrogates the material politics of social media platforms, and their role in online racism. Platforms have altered how people search, find, and share information, and how social interactions take place online. This new era of user practices, micro-communication cultures, and an increasing algorithmic shaping of sociability, opens up new research endeavours to understand communication as a cultural practice. While platforms are reluctant to acknowledge that they work as media companies, and present themselves as being ‘neutral’, they intervene in public discourse through their design, policies, and corporate decisions. This intervention is increasingly under public scrutiny at a time when racist and sexist speech is thriving online. The entanglement between user practices and platforms in the reinforcement of racism is the focus of my research. Specifically, I argue that this entanglement

  • Remarks of Fcc Chairman Ajit Pai at the Symposium on “The Future of Speech Online”
    REMARKS OF FCC CHAIRMAN AJIT PAI AT THE SYMPOSIUM ON “THE FUTURE OF SPEECH ONLINE” WASHINGTON, DC SEPTEMBER 15, 2017 I’d like to thank our hosts for inviting me to participate in this event. I’m sure that those who work at the Newseum Institute, the Charles Koch Institute, and the Center for Democracy and Technology don’t agree on everything. But these organizations have united to defend and promote a core freedom that should unite Americans across the ideological spectrum: the freedom of speech. We fight for principles like freedom of speech because they serve as the foundation of our great nation. Americans don’t share a single cultural heritage. What binds us is a set of shared principles that has made us a beacon for the world: the principle that all men are created equal, the principle of liberty and justice for all, and, yes, the principle of free expression. Over 200 years ago, America ratified the First Amendment to the Constitution, which states “Congress shall make no law . abridging the freedom of speech.” But provisos on parchment alone aren’t enough of a safeguard. We also must have a shared cultural commitment to the importance of free speech. These days, I have to confess that I worry about whether that commitment is beginning to unravel. For one thing, many seem not to know that there is such a thing as freedom of speech. A survey released earlier this week by the University of Pennsylvania showed that only 48% of Americans knew that freedom of speech was a right guaranteed by the First Amendment.
