    Here's Why the Lavender Scare Still Matters | The Creators Project 7/9/16, 3:07 PM print United States Here's Why the Lavender Scare Still Matters Tanja M. Laden — Jun 26 2016 Cincinnati Opera, Fellow Travelers (http://www.cincinnatiopera.org/performances/fellow- travelers), Photograph courtesy Philip Groshong The Cold War, McCarthyism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism), and the Hollywood blacklist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_blacklist) have all been continuously examined and critiqued by writers and artists. One particular aspect of the fear-mongering witch hunt that swept the U.S. after World War II, however, is just as important to our understanding of the country’s social and political history as the Red Scare http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/lavender-scare-art-history-ugly-legacy Page 1 of 15 Here's Why the Lavender Scare Still Matters | The Creators Project 7/9/16, 3:07 PM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Scare): it is known as the Lavender Scare. Over the course of the past 60 years, the dark stain that is the Lavender Scare has been a subtly recurring theme in popular culture, and in light of the still prevalent, highly problematic attitudes towards transgender and homosexual rights today, it's both reassuring and saddening to know that the cultural blight it provides is still being addressed. Today, the event is examined across several mediums, including a documentary, an opera, and a new art exhibition. Images via WikiCommons Similar to the anti-communist moral panic that swept the 1950s, the Lavender Scare led government officials to believe that homosexuals posed threats to national security.

  • 13 White Woman Listen! Black Feminism and the Boundaries of Sisterhood
    13 White Woman Listen! Black Feminism and the Boundaries of Sisterhood Hazel V. Carby I'm leaving evidence. And you got to leave evidence too. And your children got to leave evidence.... They burned all the documents.... We got to burn out what they put in our minds, like you burn out a wound. Except we got to keep what we need to bear witness. That scar that's left to bear witness. We got to keep it as visible as our blood. (Jones 1975) The black women's critique of history has not only involved us in coming to terms with "absences"; we have also been outraged by the ways in which it has made us visible, when it has chosen to see us. History has constructed our sexuality and our femininity as deviating from those qualities with which white women, as the prize objects of the Western world, have been endowed. We have also been defined in less than human terms (Jordon 1969). Our continuing struggle with History began with its "discovery" of us. However, this chapter will be concerned with herstory rather than history. We wish to address questions to the feminist theories that have been developed during the last decade; a decade in which black women have been fighting, in the streets, in the schools, through the courts, inside and outside the wage relation. The significance of these struggles ought to inform the writing of the herstory of women in Britain. It is fundamental to the development of a feminist theory and practice that is meaningful for black women.

  • A World Like Ours: Gay Men in Japanese Novels and Films
    A WORLD LIKE OURS: GAY MEN IN JAPANESE NOVELS AND FILMS, 1989-2007 by Nicholas James Hall A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2013 © Nicholas James Hall, 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines representations of gay men in contemporary Japanese novels and films produced from around the beginning of the 1990s so-called gay boom era to the present day. Although these were produced in Japanese and for the Japanese market, and reflect contemporary Japan’s social, cultural and political milieu, I argue that they not only articulate the concerns and desires of gay men and (other queer people) in Japan, but also that they reflect a transnational global gay culture and identity. The study focuses on the work of current Japanese writers and directors while taking into account a broad, historical view of male-male eroticism in Japan from the Edo era to the present. It addresses such issues as whether there can be said to be a Japanese gay identity; the circulation of gay culture across international borders in the modern period; and issues of representation of gay men in mainstream popular culture products. As has been pointed out by various scholars, many mainstream Japanese representations of LGBT people are troubling, whether because they represent “tourism”—they are made for straight audiences whose pleasure comes from being titillated by watching the exotic Others portrayed in them—or because they are made by and for a female audience and have little connection with the lives and experiences of real gay men, or because they circulate outside Japan and are taken as realistic representations by non-Japanese audiences.

  • DE-MYSTIFYING "THE LAVENDER MENACE": a N.O.W. Primer On
    I I DE-MYSTIFYING "THE LAVENDER MENACE": A N.O.W. Primer On Lesbian- Baiting NATIONAL ORGANIZATION Published by THE NOW NATIONAL TASK FORCE ON SEXUALITY & LESBIANISM Kay Whitlock and Robin Smith Co-Coordinators April 1977 Prepared by Kay Whitlock NOW Policy Background The NOW National Task Force on Sexuality and Lesbianism was established in 19 71, two years after the NOW membership at its national conference in Los Angeles adopted a resolution stating that "a woman's right to her own person includes the right to define and express her own sexuality and to choose her own lifestyle." In 19 71, NOW formally went on record as recognizing "the double oppression of women who are lesbians" and stated that a feminist program of action must include action on behalf of lesbian rights. In 197 3, in Washington, D.C., the NOW National Conference approved a resolution committing NOW to work for legislation prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. On October 27, 1975, NOW members attending the National Conference in Philadelphia approved a resolution designating the accomplishment of lesbian rights as one of NOW's national priorities. The resolution stated that "abridgement of the basic rights of any woman diminishes the freedom of all of us," and proponents of the resolution argued that too little had been accomplished--by NOW, by the feminist movement in general, and by the various levels of government--with regard to securing such rights for lesbians. Implicit in all of these resolutions was the commitment of NOW as an organization to halt internal discrimination against lesbians.

    TRACES OF HERSTORY: REINVENTING WOMANHOOD IN THE KATE FANSLER MYSTERY SERIES BY AMANDA CROSS Emma Domínguez-Rué Universitat de Lleida [email protected] Although the American writer and Columbia professor Carolyn Gold Heilbrun (1926-2003) is best known for her best-selling mystery novels, published under the pseudonym of Amanda Cross, she also authored remarkable pieces of non-fiction in which she asserted her long-standing commitment to feminism. Taking Heilbrun’s essays in feminism and literary criticism as a basis and her 1990 novel The Players Come Again as substantiation to my argument, this paper will illustrate the ways in which her detective novels became an instrument to reach a mass audience of female readers who might not have read her theoretical work, but who were perhaps finding it difficult to reach fulfillment as women under patriarchy. My aim is to reveal the extent to which Heilbrun’s seemingly more superficial and much more commercial novels were used a catalyst that informed her feminist principles while vindicating the need to repair women’s historical invisibility. Keywords: Amanda Cross, Carolyn Heilbrun, feminism, detective fiction, female readership “As long as women are isolated one from the other, not allowed to offer other women the most personal accounts of their lives, they will not be part of any narrative of their own” (Heilbrun 1988: 46). Although the American writer and Columbia Professor Carolyn Gold Heilbrun (1926-2003) is best known for her best-selling mystery novels, published under the pseudonym of Amanda Cross, she also authored remarkable pieces of non-fiction in which she asserted her long-standing commitment to feminism.
