Eirini Arvanitaki Postfeminism, Consumerism and the Reclamation of Love 171 Franka Heise Introduction Dikmen Yakalı Çamoğlu Gender has become one of the key concepts of the humanities and social sciences since the early 1970s. Today, it is almost impossible to study culture without taking into account that all aspects of social life are gendered. This ‘Genderquake’ has shaken academic studies as well as Western democracies. While the study of gender intertwines with feminism, queer studies, sexuality studies, postcolonial studies, and cultural studies, the Gender and Love project calls for the consideration of gender in relation to various kinds of love. As you will also see from examples in this volume, the project explores the interactions of gender and love with regard to self, spirit, religion, the family, friendship, ethics, laws, nations, globalisation, the environment, and so on. Its aim is to address how the interactions of gender and love promote particular performances of gender; how they affect conceptions of individual and collective identity, formations of community, notions of the human, and understandings of good and evil. These are just some of the questions that occupy this project and this volume. The overall aim of the project is to understand the interconnection and interaction between the concepts of love and gender; and whether, when, how and in what ways the two concepts understand and construct each other. The chapters in this volume were originally presented at the 3rd Global Conference Gender and Love held in Oxford in September 2013 as a part of the Hub activity of Gender and Sexuality by Inter-disciplinary.Net. The researchers represented every continent and a wide spectrum of disciplines. The volume covers topics ranging from social and cultural studies, philosophy, literature, media studies, to psychology and law. One of the fundamental topics focused on during the conference was the issue of representation. Most of the chapters in this volume concern the various ways in which representations of gender and love are constructed, reproduced and circulated throughout the ages and geographies. Representations of gender are never innocent. As cultural constructions, they address us in the practices of everyday life. These chapters will show that all social practices take place within representations and are different narratives through which we make sense of ourselves, our world and our culturally constructed identities. In the first part of this book we will discover various representations of gender and love from different times and places. ‘Faith and Ascensus in Vittoria Colonna’s Lyric Dreams’ by Cristina Acucella is the very first chapter and takes us back to 16th Century Italy. The poetry of Vittoria Colonna represents a woman’s love and dedication to the memory of her husband, who died in battle in 1525. In this context, she uses the dream as a tool for the encounter with the beloved, whom she gradually identifies with Christ. Love and the erotic dream in this sense are also the viii Introduction __________________________________________________________________ place of spiritual elevation and sometimes a door to the neoplatonic ascensus and religious ecstasy. The second chapter of the first part ‘Identity, Gender and Love in Transition: The Violet Hour and Absent Love. A Chronicle’ by Katarzyna Moszczyńska-Dürst takes us to Spain with women´s fiction of the Transition period. She focuses on the discursive strategies adopted by the protagonists of The Violet Hour, by Montserrat Roig and Absent Love: A Chronicle, by Rosa Montero, with respect to love, sexuality and woman´s role in society. She sheds light to the role played by the images of love in identity politics. In the last chapter of the first part, Kelly Y. N. Tse brings us to women writers in contemporary China, who write from a transnational and transcultural vantage point. In her chapter, ‘(En)gendering Global China: Lesbian Affectivity in Fan Wu’s February Flowers,’ she critically examines the formation and constitution of lesbian subjectivities and its qu(e)erying of Chineseness against the backdrop of a discourse of globalization. The representation of China as a hetero-normative space where lesbian love is un-verbalized and unnamed, as opposed to the queer space of potentialities that is the USA, points to a kind of lesbian subjectivity which is predicated upon the affirmation of a global and hybridized Chineseness. The second part goes on to talk about representations of gender and love in literature and furthers the concerns of the first part. As we acknowledge in the subsequent chapters and their various contexts, love may be used as a mechanism of social control. In ‘Tennyson and the Idylls of Geraint: Medievalism, Victoriana, and the Mechanism of Social Control’, Adèle Cook shows us how Tennyson was ‘horrified’ by the rapid social changes which confronted him and this horror was reflected in the Idylls, the work of his life. This chapter examines the Victorian representation of marriage as a means of control through love and discusses how this impacts on contemporary Arthurian texts. In the next chapter, ‘Love and the Crossing of Gender Boundaries: Strategies of Staging Transgender Identity’, Marcus Hartner explores representations of transgender identities in film and novel and investigates how the themes of love and affection are used strategically for the narrative staging of transgender identity. He focuses on the protagonists in Jackie Kay’s award-winning novel Trumpet (1998) and the American road movie Transamerica (2005), directed by Duncan Tucker. A discrepancy between their chosen gender and their biological sex shapes these characters’ identities. However, the stories are not merely on the theme of romantic love but focus for the most part on filial, paternal, and maternal love as well as friendship. The chapter shows how the topic of love is fundamental in the depiction and evaluation of those characters: Hartner points out that Transamerica evokes the transformative power of maternal love and Trumpet’s narrative structure follows the performative nature of identity and gender.

  • Elvis Costello Began Writing Songs at the Age of Thirteen. 2017 Marked the 40Th Anniversary of the Release of His First Record Album, My Aim Is True
    Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of his first record album, My Aim Is True. He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison”, “Pump It Up”, “Everyday I Write The Book” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”. His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums: This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, Blood and Chocolate and King Of America along with an album of country covers, Almost Blue and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, Painted From Memory - with Burt Bacharach and North. He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates - which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band - and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher - as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour”. Costello has entered into songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, the Brodsky Quartet and with Allen Toussaint for the album The River In Reverse, the first major label recording project to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and completed there while the city was still under curfew. In 2003, Costello acted as lyrical editor of six songs written with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall for her album, The Girl In The Other Room. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson and musical settings for words by W.B.

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 139 JUNE 21ST, 2021 Copper’s writers and I strive for excellence, and work hard to ensure that articles are carefully proofread. But errors occasionally slip by, and when they appear, they’re typically just flat-out brain freezes. For example, “passed” instead of “past,” “flare” rather than “flair” and “peel” in place of “peal.” (What is the correct spelling of “Aaagghhh?”) Responsibility for any such grammatical gaffes rests squarely on the shoulders of yours truly, although I do have the following excuses: by my rough estimate Copper publishes around 150 or more pages of ad-free content every month, and that’s a lotta words to look over; my in-house staff consists of me and Gary the pug; and I’ve had rotator cuff surgery. In the background, for the past year Rich Isaacs has been helping me catch and fix errors post- publication, and a third set of eyes – yours – may spot things we missed. If you see something, say something – we can fix flubs after they’re published. Now you see ‘em, now you don’t! In this issue: audio shows are returning, and B. Jan Montana reports on California’s T.H.E. Show. Before YouTube, how did people learn stuff? Why, with self-help records, as Rich Isaacs points out! J.I.
