' I PREFACE This volume is the first of a series of Working Papers to be published by the Humanities Research Group at the University of Windsor. The HRG is dedicated to encouraging research in the humanities and especially to promoting dialogue between and across disciplines. This principle is epitomized in the HRG's annual Distinguished Speaker Series which centres on a theme of contemporary interest which is investigated from a variety of disciplinary and historical perspectives. The papers at hand, the first to be published, are in fact the fruits of the fourth series which brought leading scholars to the University of Windsor campus. "Constructing Sexualities" proved to be at once a popular and controversial theme. Even in the academy traditional values exercise a kind of social and intellectual control over not only how people live but also what they think about or choose as a topic for research. Yet the growing importance of this discursive field is reflected in the richness of the Suggested Further Readings found at• the end of this volume. "Constructing Sexualities" is a theme that crosses faculty and departmental and disciplinary boundaries. It is truly a topic best approached from a multidisciplinary perspective. Each of the scholars presented here, brings a unique perspective and illuminates a different facet of this complex topic. In addition to the public addresses and bibliography, we include reports on each Distinguished Speaker's colloquium. These reports are more than a summary of discussion or a set of minutes irrelevant to any but the participants. Rather, the reports illustrate the problems which arise from each topic when examined from a variety of perspectives. Each colloquium attracted participants from a variety of fields not only from the V vi Preface humanities and social sciences but also from law, business, and science. The issues arise from the cross-fertilization made possible only when a inter-disciplinary group works through a common problem together. The colloquia reports, then, both draw the reader's attention to questions and serve as a starting point for further discussion. These Working Papers provide no definitive answers but rather encourage further reflection and research. Inaugurating a new venture takes time, patience, and cooperation. There were numerous people who assisted in some aspect of the process by which this volume came into being. Barry Adam was unfailing in his support and encouragement. Dawn Smith, Jodi Skeates, and Rosemary Halford struggled with computer programmes, some more cooperative than others, and prepared the camera-ready copy. The Office of Community Relations and Publications was generous in its help and advice. Thanks to them, and especially to Steve Daigle for the distinctive design which will grace the series. To all of those involved in preparation of the volume, to the gracious and generous scholars whose research as presented, to all of the faculty at the University of Windsor who showed their intellectual intrepidness by their willingness to work through issues with their colleagues in the colloquia, thank you. You made this publication series possible. Jacqueline Murray Director Humanities Research Group INTRODUCTION These essays, by some of the leading scholars in the study of sexuality today, show some of the diversity of critical questions, concerns, and methodologies which characterize sexology in the late twentieth century. The authors offer "snapshots" of four different periods in the history of sexuality and draw upon such disciplines in the humanities and social sciences as literature, women's studies, film studies, history, and sociology in making sense of their topics. Amidst this variety of disciplines and themes, however, are some commonalities. Contemporary sexual studies typically reverse the premise which launched Freudian theory. While Freud often found sex to be the hidden first cause of a range of human practices and pathologies, scholars today more often find sexuality to be an index or outcome of a complex interplay of factors embedded in political economy, kinship, gender, cultural codes, and state regulation. Far from being the hidden text of modern society, sexuality is more often seen as a medium through which a wide range of social factors are expressed and as a site where social codes can be played out, subverted, or resisted. The modern study of sexuality is at least as old as the social sciences, with common nineteenth-century origins, but unlike those disciplines, has been subject to a history of restriction and moral orthodoxy which limited its development. These essays partake in the contemporary boom in sex-related research made possible by the second-wave feminist and gay liberation movements of the 1970s and 1980s. They demonstrate the distance this research area has come from its pre-war legacy which believed sexuality to be an inherent human characteristic fully explicable in terms of biology and physiology. While naturalistic and positivist accounts continue vii viii Introduction to abound, especially in folk versions and even in introductory textbooks, these essays show their inadequacy for making sense of sex. While the mass media promote claims about "gay brains" or genes which fit with biological precepts, contemporary research demonstrates that the complex variety of human sexuality can never be reduced to such simple causes and that even our ideas about nature show our ethnocentrism and provincialism. Jane Abray draws our attention to the fall of the norm of priestly celibacy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, cautioning us that clerical marriage can scarcely be considered a "liberalization" in the context of the times, but is better thought of as a re-disciplining of sexuality. Abray offers glimpses into the extensive' considerations which go into sorting through historical transitions of this kind. The "context of the times" includes-what to us-is a remarkably rigid standard of sexual conduct propounded by church authorities. This leads to consideration of the processes of generation and institutionalization of what are now regarded as "traditional" Christian interpretations of sexuality, founded as they were in a theology developed and encoded at the height of the feudal era. Settled_ agrarian societies such as this are noted for their preoccupations with property and accumulation, the importance of family and kinship as a way of distributing and inheriting property, an associated concern with male supervis�on over female reproductive potential in order conserve kin lines, and concomitant limitations placed upon women's mobility. Rigid sexual standards begin to "make sense" in this context; marriage and celibacy have extensive and unavoidable implications which exceed sex per se. Research of this kind allows us to begin thinking about how social expectations around sexuality may vary a great deal in societies with little concern about property and inheritance or about how historical changes in sexual morality can be effected by social arrangements of production. Martha Vicinus shows how much the cross-dressing stage actress, now largely forgotten, has to tell about the interplay of desire and social codes in her apparent capture of erotic potentialities never quite . contained by the social orthodoxies of her day. The stage presentation of a woman in male dress offers a polysemic text subverting the boundaries ix Introduction of respectable and authoritative codes of gender and sex, opening possibilities for identification and (covert) expressions of homosexual and heterosexual desire among female and male audiences. Part of the popularity of the thespian woman as man may indeed have lain in her offering something to everyone. Official readings placed her into a socially acceptable heterosexual script, or perhaps one might say, a script made even more acceptable than the potentially over-charged male­ female romantic narrative, by de-fusing its eroticism as a female-female romance read as "innocent" by Victorian and Edwardian audiences. This goes by the name of "family entertainment"

Since we were allotted only two 2500 words and wrote almost five times as much, we inevitably expected cuts. These came not as we feared in the more theoretical sections, but in certain other tar- geted areas: names, popular music, and the role of women. Though some living musicians were allowed in, all those thought to be uncomfortable about their sexual orientation’s being known were excised, beginning with Boulez.

Hernández Adrián An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies in the Graduate School of Duke University 2009 Copyright by Kadji Amin 2009 Abstract This dissertation explores the concept of agential abjection through Jean Genet’s involvement with and writings about the struggles of disenfranchised and pathologized peoples. Following Julia Kristeva, Judith Butler has argued that modern subjectivity requires the production of a domain of abjected beings denied subjecthood and forced to live "unlivable" lives. "Agencies of Abjection" brings these feminist theories of abjection to bear on multiple coordinates of social difference by exploring forms of abjection linked to sexuality, criminality, colonialism, and racialization. Situating Genet within an archive that includes the writings of former inmates of penal colonies, Francophone intellectuals, and Black Panther Party members, I analyze both the historical forces that produce abjection and the collective forms of agency that emerge from subaltern social forms.

  • Tatiana Korneeva 'An Old Fairy Tale Told Anew': Victorian
    n. 3, gennaio-giugno 2014 ‘An old fairy tale toldTatiana anew’: Korneeva Victorian Fairy Pantomime* Christmas pantomime, a highly-admired and quintessentially British form of popular theatre, often features fairy-tale characters and plots. Given that a great number of the best-known pantomime performances, such as Cinderella, Bluebeard, The Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots and Red Riding Hood, are drawn from marvelous fictions, it is particularly interesting to investigate the role played by the Victorian pantomime in the trans- mission of fairy tales, and the pantomime’s broader impact on English culture. This essay has a dual focus. In the first place, it draws critical attention to the modalities of transposing fairy tales to the theatrical form of Victorian pantomime. Secondly, considering the pantomime’s crossover appeal to audiences of both adults and children, which is a result of its multivalent construction of transvestite performance, the essay explores how fairy pantomimes contribute to the discussion of gender in Victorian England. More specifically, the essay is concerned with the question of whether the experimentation with travesti roles in the pantomime’s stock characters of the Dame and the Principal Boy leads to the destabilisation of gender boundaries and the cre- ation of new ways of conceptualising sexuality, or whether instead it reinforces rigidly stratified Victorian notions of gender hierarchy. By addressing these questions, the article sheds light on the representation of gender and identity, fantasies of costume and disguise, as well as the development of Western attitudes to- wards cross-dressing and sexuality. In an utilitarian age, of all other times, it is a matter of grave importance that fairy tales should be respected.

  • "A Study of Three Plays by Jean Genet: the Maids, the Balcony, the Blacks"
    Shifting Paradigms in Culture: "A Study of Three Plays by Jean Genet: The Maids, The Balcony, The Blacks" Department of English and Modern European Languages Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi 2005 Payal Khanna The purpose of this dissertation is two fold. Firstly, it looks at the ways in which Genet's plays question the accepted social positions and point towards the need for a radical social change. Secondly, this dissertation also looks at Genet's understanding of theatre to underline the social contradictions through this medium. The thesis studies through a carefully worked out methodology the dynamic relationship between theatre and its viewers. This dissertation analyses the works of Genet to locate what have been identified in the argument as points of subversion. In this world of growing multiculturalism where terms like globalization have become a part of our daily life Genet's works are a case in point. Genet's plays are placed in a matrix that is positioned outside the margins of society from where they question the normative standards that govern social function. They create an alternative construct to interpret critically the normalizing tendency of society that actually glosses over the social contradictions. The thesis studies the features of both the constructs-that of society and the space outside it, and the relation that Genet's plays evolves between them. The propensity of a society that is divided both on the basis of class and gender is towards privileging groups that are powerful. Therefore the entire social rubric is structured in a way that takes into consideration the needs of such groups only.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by The University of Sydney: Sydney eScholarship Journals online The English Warner Brother triumphs over religious hegemony on the road to celebrity and dynasty Ann Lazarsfeld-Jensen In late Victorian England, music halls were often besieged by fanatical Christians who wanted to shut them down. Evangelicals manipulated justifiable public concerns about alcohol abuse to conflate popular entertainment with social erosion. The complex legislation surrounding places of entertainment began in the 1830s with concerns about limelight and sawdust, but by the 1880s it was firmly focused on morality (Victorian Music Halls 63) The music hall wars were an alarming threat for the predominantly Jewish artists and hall managers barely one generation beyond refugee poverty. It was unwise for them to oppose anything rooted in the national religious hegemonies, and they could not find a moral high ground to protect their livelihood. In this context, the fin de siècle Jewish theatrical agent, Dick Warner, began to use networks of men’s clubs and newspaper publicity to redefine the industry. The peaceful assimilation of Jews with its concomitant benefits for the pursuit of profit (Jews of Britain 77-79) was not a cynical ambition. Warner subscribed to the Victorian Anglo-Jewish world view of judicious assimilation and restrained observance, and he embraced it as the way forward for theatrical entrepreneurs who were losing ground to what Kift refers to as the “sour-faced, austere and ascetic” social reformers (157). The themes of Warner’s publicity campaign are recognisable today.
