HOMO-SEXILE: GAY AND TRANSGENDER COMMUNITIES - SEXUAL AND NATIONAL IDENTITIES IN LATIN AMERICAN FICTION AND FILM by MIGUEL MOSS MARRERO BA, MA DISSERTATION Presented to the Faculty of The University of Texas at Dallas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN HUMANITIES THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT DALLAS August 2018 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Latin American transgender women and gay men are part of my family. This dissertation is dedicated to them. It would have not been possible without their stories. I want to give my gratitude to my mother, who set an example by completing her doctoral degree with three exuberant boys and a full-time job in mental health. I also want to dedicate this to my father, who encouraged me to accomplish my goals and taught me that nothing is too great to achieve. I want to thank my siblings who have shown support throughout my doctoral degree. I also want to thank my husband, Michael Saginaw, for his patience while I spent many hours in solitude while writing my dissertation. Without all of their support, this chapter of my life would have been meaningless.

  • A Case Study Exploring the Agency of Black Lgbtq+ Youth In
    A CASE STUDY EXPLORING THE AGENCY OF BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’S BALLROOM CULTURE By Shamari K. Reid Dissertation Committee: Professor Michelle Knight-Manuel, Sponsor Professor Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date 19 May 2021 . Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY EXPLORING BLACK LGBTQ+ YOUTH IN NYC’s BALLROOM CULTURE Shamari K. Reid Recognizing the importance of context with regard to youth agency, this study explores how 8 Black LGBTQ+ youth understand their practices of agency in ballroom culture, an underground Black LGBTQ+ culture. Ballroom was chosen as the backdrop for this scholarly endeavor because it allowed for the study of the phenomenon — Black LGBTQ+ youth agency — in a space where the youth might feel more able to be themselves, especially given that the 2019 Black LGBTQ+ youth report published by the Human Rights Campaign revealed that only 35% of Black LGBTQ+ youth reported being able to “be themselves at school” (Kahn et al., 2019). Thus, instead of asking what is wrong with schools, this study inverted the question to explore what is “right” about ballroom culture in which Black LGBTQ+ youth might practice different kinds of agency due to their intersectional racial and LGBTQ+ identities being recognized and celebrated. Framed by the youth’s understanding of their own agency across different contexts, my research illuminates the complex interrelationships between youth agency, social identity, and context. Extending the literature on youth agency and Black LGBTQ+ youth, the findings of this study suggest that in many ways these youth are always already practicing agency to work toward different ends, and that these different end goals are greatly mediated by the contexts in which they find themselves.

  • Sharing Economies and Affective Labour in Montréal's Kiki Scene
    SERVING EACH OTHER: SHARING ECONOMIES AND AFFECTIVE LABOUR IN MONTRÉAL’S KIKI SCENE by Jess D. Lundy A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Women’s and Gender Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019, Jess D. Lundy Abstract Against a tense socio-political backdrop of white supremacy, intensifying pressures of neoliberal fiscal austerity, and queer necropolitics, this thesis addresses performance-based activist forms of place-making for urban-based queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities of colour. Using participant observation and qualitative interviews with pioneering members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s emerging Waacking community and interpreting my findings through the theoretical lens of queer of colour theory, critical whiteness studies, queer Latinx performance studies and Chicana feminism, I argue that Kiki subculture, which is maintained by pedagogical processes of ‘each one, teach one’, is instrumental in facilitating i) life-affirming queer kinship bonds, (ii) alternative ways to simultaneously embody and celebrate non- normative gender expression with Black, Asian, and Latinx identity, iii) non-capitalist economies of sharing, and iv) hopeful strategies of everyday community activism and resilience to appropriative processes during economic insecurity and necropolitical turmoil. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the members of Montréal’s Kiki scene and Ottawa’s Waacking founder for their willingness to participate in this study despite the understandable reflex to safe-guard their own. Secondly, I extend my sincerest gratitude to my thesis supervisor Dr. Dan Irving. Apart from disproving that you should never meet your heroes, Dr.

  • Title of Dissertation
    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.

  • Ballroom Freedom School
    Ballroom Freedom School 1 A Vogue’ology Collective Project * Proposed by Michael Roberson (House of Garçon) and Robert Sember (Ultra­red) Background: The House | Ballroom Scene and the Vogue’ology Collective Transgender, lesbian, bisexual and gay African­American men and women must overcome complex challenges to establish and secure welcoming and nourishing communities. While we are already connected with multiple social groups, ranging from religious congregations to movements in support of racial and ethnic minorities, our membership in these groups is almost always conditional and tenuous. This marginalization sustains the LGBT community’s burdens of stigma, violence, housing insecurity, and HIV infection rates, estimated to be among the highest of any population in the U.S. One response to this marginalization has been the formation of self­sustaining social networks and cultural groups, such as the House | Ballroom scene, an artistic collective and intentional kinship system that has grown over the past 50 years into a crucial social movement for LGBT persons of color. th The origins of the House | Ballroom scene are in the early 20 ​ century “faerie balls” and cross­dressing ​ pageants made popular during the Harlem Renaissance. The modern Ballroom scene was established in 1968 in response to racism within New York’s LGBT community. In that year Crystal LaBeija, a star of the city’s cross­dressing competitions and pageants, broke publicly with the white gay male dominated scene scene and established a separate ballroom circuit for black and Latino gay men, lesbians and transgendered persons. A year later Crystal formed the House of LaBeija, a team of black and Latino performers who competed in cross­dressing events.

  • Culture Is a Drag 1
    CULTURE IS A DRAG 1 Culture is a Drag by Raven Walker Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to Department of Communication in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science May, 2019 Approved by: ________________________________________________________ Debra Poulos, MA, Thesis Director ________________________________________________________ Jennifer Gray, Ph. D, Second Reader ________________________________________________________ CULTURE IS A DRAG 2 Jennifer Gray, Ph. D, Departmental Honors Director Abstract With Drag culture becoming more relevant there is more content to analyze for specific cultural messages. This is the basis of my thesis, to analyze the effects of drag queen culture on our current society and what notable characteristics this group of people holds. I will do this by analyzing several different television series, web shows, and online presences within the drag queen community, pointing out the specific cultural elements that this subculture displays. For example, there is now a television show that centers around the competitive nature of Drag queens, i.e. RuPaul’s Drag Race. To understand the potential effects of this television series, I ​ ​ will rhetorically analyze for cultural messages. After this, RuPaul’s Drag Race will be analyzed ​ ​ by looking for messages that pertain to the cultural subcategories. I believe that I will find that drag queens are part of a subculture that has truly unique elements; furthermore, with drag queens being present in mainstream media now, there is potential for other cultures to be influenced by their messages. Also, it will answer the question of why drag is currently resonating with pop culture like never before. CULTURE IS A DRAG 3 Culture is a Drag The phenomena of wanting to be something or someone other than yourself is not new.
