  • Affective Agency in Viola Davis's Award Speeches
    Yearbook of the Poznań Linguistic Meeting 6 (2020), pp. 159–181 DOI: 10.2478/yplm-2020-0009 To be sentimental, powerful, and Black: Affective agency in Viola Davis’s award speeches Agata Janicka Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań [email protected] Abstract This article considers how the long-standing American cultural tradition of sentimen- tality and its affective power can be discursively utilized by contemporary Black women in the public contexts. Using the concept of sentimental political storytelling as discussed by Rebecca Wanzo, I analyze three award speeches given by Viola Davis – a popular and acclaimed African American actress whose speeches generate signifi- cant public and media attention. Framing Davis’s speeches within the Black feminist epistemology, I draw on the conventions of sentimental storytelling proposed by Wanzo to argue that Davis is an example of a Black woman skilfully using sentimen- tality to gain affective agency and mobilize sympathy from mainstream public while at the same time narrativizing African Americans’ lived experiences to have their hu- manity and their struggle recognized today. Given the continued prioritization of White female suffering in the American media over stories of Black women’s struggle, the ways in which Black women can discursively utilize sentimentality to gain affective agency and negotiate self-definition in interactional public contexts is of significant sociolinguistic interest. Keywords: African American women; sentimentality; affective agency; discourse; media. 0. Introduction Sentimentality holds a major potential for sociolinguistic studies of language. Inherently emotional, sentimentality has had a long-lasting and conspicuous role in the American literary history, and it has been the object of considerable attention in literary criticism (Howard 1999).

Lyons, seinem 34-jährigen Sohn aus erster Ehe, hält das strenge Familienoberhaupt lange Moralpred igten, Cory verbietet er das Footballspielen, weil er mit seiner eigenen verpassten Sportkarriere hadert, und Rose rechnet er bei jeder Gelegenheit vor, was er alles mit seinem Arbeitslohn bezahlt. Im Umgang mit seiner Frau und seinem kriegsversehrten Bruder Gabriel zeigt der Hausherr jedoch auch Sanftmut. Rose lebt mit den guten wie schlechten Seiten ihres Gatten und hält die Familie zusammen, bis Troy die seit 18 Jahren währende Ehe auf eine Zerreißprobe stellt. 1 Fences Umsetzung Bei seiner Adaption des 1983 veröffentlichten und 1987 mit dem Pulitzerpreis ausgezeichneten Theaterstücks „Fences“ von August Wilson bleibt Regisseur und Hauptdarsteller Denzel Washington nah am Gestus der Vorlage. Das klar auf die Figuren fokussierte Familiendrama entwickelt sich in vielen langen Dialogen über Rassismus, Football oder Geld. Das kleine Haus und insbesondere der authentisch wirkende Hinterhof avancieren wie in einem Kammerspiel zur Bühne für die Darsteller, die durch die Bank nuancenreich spielen.

  • Race on First, Class on Second, Gender on Third, and Sexuality up to Bat: Intersectionality and Power in Major League Baseball, 1995 - 2005
    RACE ON FIRST, CLASS ON SECOND, GENDER ON THIRD, AND SEXUALITY UP TO BAT: INTERSECTIONALITY AND POWER IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, 1995 - 2005 Lisa Doris Alexander A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2006 Committee: Dr. Philip Terrie, Advisor Dr. Katherine A. Bradshaw Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Vikki Krane Dr. Nancy Spencer ii ABSTRACT Philip Terrie, Advisor Baseball, in one form or another, has existed in the United States for well over one hundred years, and during that time it has become an important part of the nation’s history and culture. Because of its long–standing presence, baseball has helped to create and maintain national sensibilities on a variety of topics, including race, class, gender, and sexuality through the use of symbolism and imagery. This study will utilize elements from Black Feminist Thought, Critical Race Theory (CRT), and Latina/o Critical Theory (LatCrit) to explore white privilege as well as the ways in which power relationships are structured by the axes of race, ethnicity, class, gender, nationality, and sexuality within Major League Baseball (MLB). Relying on textual analysis as well as Susan Birrell and Mary McDonald’s notion of reading sport critically, this dissertation analyzes the cultural meanings of four salient moments from the 1995 through the 2005 season to determine their cultural meanings which in turn will illustrate the persistence of racism, sexism, heterosexism, etc., in MLB and American culture overall. The four moments include the 1998 home–run chase between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, the focus on Mike Piazza’s and Kazuhiro Tadano’s sexual orientation, Alex Rodriguez’s contract worth approximately $25 million annually for ten years, and Barry Bonds’ record–breaking seasons from 2001 through 2005.
