The gay liberation movement of the early 1970s understood that the way to political power was through popular culture.

  • Black Female Masculinity in Hip-Hop Culture
    “Thank God for Hip-hop”: Black Female Masculinity in Hip-hop Culture THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Saidah K. Isoke Graduate Program in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies The Ohio State University 2017 Master's Examination Committee: Dr. Treva Lindsey, Advisor Dr. Mary Thomas Copyrighted by Saidah Kamaria Oni Isoke 2017 iii Abstract “Thank God for Hip-hop” explores the racial, gendered, and sexual relations in hip-hop culture. To do this, this project centers Black tomboys and masculine-presenting lesbians (MPL). I differentiate between MPLs and tomboys based on the extent to which people within each identity centers masculinity. Masculine-presenting lesbian is understood as a strong masculine presentation of gender by lesbian-identified women. Tomboy, on the other hand, is understood as a hybrid space between femininity and masculinity and sexual orientation varies. This project challenges perceptions of hip-hop as an exclusively male, misogynist, homophobic and transphobic genre and culture. Black tomboys and MPLs represent queer potentials in hip-hop. What can we discover about racial, gendered and sexual relations within the culture? How is gender and sexuality negotiated by Black women who are tomboys or masculine-presenting lesbians? Gwendolyn Pough’s “bringing wreck” theory is centered in my analysis on how Black women disrupt gender and sexual politics in hip-hop. Utilizing hip-hop feminism, gender and queer theory, and queer of color critique strengthens my figuration of hip-hop queerness by opening the culture up to the margins of the margins.

  • Women's Studies International Forum. ARTICLE RESUBMISSION. May
    Women’s Studies International Forum Journal, article RESUBMISSION following peer review. ‘Always Endangered, Never Extinct: Exploring contemporary butch lesbian identity in the UK’. Women’s Studies International Forum. ARTICLE RESUBMISSION. May 2019. TITLE: Always Endangered, Never Extinct: Exploring contemporary butch lesbian identity in the UK ABSTRACT This article presents empirical data from survey research into lesbian and queer masculinities in the United Kingdom, conducted in 2017, which garnered over two hundred responses. Four dominant themes emerged from the data gathered. These themes addressed: distinctions and relationships between the sexed body and gender identity; the contradictions of identifying with masculinities while critiquing hegemonic masculinity; a sense of anxiety or loss around a perceived decline of lesbian community and identities within it, particularly the identity of butch lesbian; and also the great variety of trans identities and how they are defined and distinct. There were many considered responses under all the above themes on the changing meaning of the butch lesbian signifier, from forty self-identified butch lesbians as well as from those identifying with other terms, and this topic is the focus of this article. I will explore the meaning and resonance of the butch lesbian identity in the UK context, and the sometimes rocky relationship to the explosion of newer terms describing sex and gender identities, such as masculine of centre (MOC), non-binary (NB), gender non-conforming (GNC) or transmasculine. While there was some unease that newer terms might or may have already eclipsed the category of butch, alongside a common assertion that the category of butch is considered old fashioned, ‘butch’ was still a term that valiantly persisted and held sentimental and political value.

  • Female Masculinity: a Threat Or/And Tribute to Male Masculinity Exploring the Limitations of Denaturalization of Gender
    Female Masculinity: A Threat or/and Tribute to Male Masculinity Exploring the Limitations of Denaturalization of Gender Asja Lazarevic Master of Science in Social Studies of Gender Major: Sociology Supervisor: Carl-Göran Heidegren Acknowledgments I would like to thank the Swedish Institute and the Foundation for Young Talents - Dositeja, which granted me scholarships for studying in Sweden. Further, I express appreciation to my supervisor for giving me full autonomy and in the end carefully reading my work. Finally, a special thanks goes to the only person without whom finishing higher education and writing this paper would not be possible – myself. 1 1. Introduction 3 2. Disposition 5 3. How: Theory and Method 6 4. Where and Who: Context 12 5. In Denaturalization We Trust 17 6. Just A Spot at the Table 26 7. What We Remain to Be 32 8. Impenetrable 37 9. From Other to Same 43 10. I Am Not Your Bro 47 11. Not All, But Some 52 12. Conclusion 55 2 Abstract This theoretical paper will explore the limitations of denaturalization of gender, or more specifically the breakage of the link between maleness and masculinity. Using different examples of female masculinities, but focused on those coupled with lesbian desire, it will be argued that exposing performativity/unnaturalness of gender does not necessarily impact the gender binary - femininity/masculinity. It will be shown that denaturalization of gender can bring more acceptance of persons whose gender identity and/or expression do not align with their sex, however, it does not have to, in any way, have an effect on changing the subordinated position of femininity/feminine attributes in the Western society.

  • Gaga Feminism: Sex, Gender, and the End of Normal
    The Trouble With Going Gaga DERRITT MASON J. Jack Halberstam. Gaga Feminism: Sex, Gender, and the End of Normal. Beacon Press, 2012. 178 pp. ho is Lady Gaga?” asks J. Jack Halberstam in the preface to Gaga Feminism: “WSex, Gender, and the End of Normal; “What do her performances mean? And more importantly, what do her gender theatrics have to say to young people about identity, politics, and celebrity?” (xii). These are intriguing questions, espe- cially for those of us who have been spellbound—even fleetingly—by Lady Gaga’s provocative music videos, adamantine earworms, and audacious live performances (recall, for example, the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when she concluded “Pa- parazzi” by staging her own blood-soaked death). Indeed, the pop star’s shapeshifting persona, flirtations with genderfuck, embrace of the monstrous, meteoric rise to and self-conscious lust for fame, and creative play with pop culture pastiche in videos like “Telephone” all invite—even beg for—theorization and interpretation. So it is un- surprising that there exists a growing company of scholars (Gagaists?) who approach Lady Gaga through an academic lens as part of projects that also aspire, fittingly, to the popular. For example: Gaga Stigmata, founded in 2010, is an online journal that responds to the pop star’s work from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives; Richard J. Gray edited a collection of critical essays entitled The Performance Identities of Lady Gaga in 2012; and when a University of South Carolina professor announced he was teaching a sociology class on Lady Gaga, it made international news.1 In short, Lady Gaga has proven herself a juicy enough subject for multiple academic tomes, and Halberstam, well known in queer theory and gender studies circles—es- pecially for Female Masculinity (1998) and In a Queer Place and Time (2005)—seems an ideal candidate for the first single-author academic-ish monograph on this genera- tion’s Queen of Pop.
