Jewell Head of Department, Judith Hamera May 2012 Major Subject: Performance Studies iii ABSTRACT Queer Utopian Performance at Texas A&M University. (May 2012) Dana Nicole Sayre, B.A.; B.A, Fairmont State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Judith Hamera Through a combination of personal interviews and participant-observation in three field sites – the Tim Miller workshop and performance of October 2010 and the student organizations Cepheid Variable and the GLBT Aggies – I argue that manifestations of utopian desire and performance circulate within and among marginalized groups on the Texas A&M University campus, undermining the heteronormative and monolithic utopia the university attempts to present. I participated in each night of rehearsal during the Tim Miller workshop, as well as the creation and performance of my own solo autobiographical monologue as a part of the ensemble. My participant-observation in Cepheid Variable and the GLBT Aggies was concurrent, consisting of attendance at both weekly organizational meetings and outside events sponsored by the organizations over two years.

  • Issue 111 in This Issue: the Article Entitled "A Beginner's Guide to Temporal Physics" by Robert J
    An Open Letter to the members of STARFLEET: On January 11th 2005, we were contacted by Chris Halliday of Argent Games, regarding possible plagiarism in articles published in the STARFLEETCommuniqué during 2002 and 2003. Immediately, we began an internal investigation researching the claims and studying the original material by Mr. Halliday and the Communiqué articles in question. Regretfully, it became painfully clear that Mr. Halliday's claims were true and that materials were taken from an in-development RPG game called Time War, which is being published this year. Substantial portions of a series of columns on Time Travel & Temporal Investigations in Communiqué issues 111, 112, 113, 114, 117, and 118 were originally written by Chris Halliday, and not by the author on the byline, Robert (Robb) Jackson. The articles in question were accepted and published in the Communiqué in good faith since the editors of the Communiqué at the time believed it to be original material. However, as the Communiqué is the official publication of STARFLEET, we are responsible for it's content. As a reminder to all of STARFLEET, only original materials are acceptable for publication in the Communiqué. If you use another's work in your article, you must cite references and give proper credit to the original author. STARFLEET will not tolerate plagiarism. On behalf of STARFLEET, the International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc., I want to apologize to Mr. Halliday and Argent Games for this incident. I also want to thank him for his cooperation in this matter. He has been very cooperative with our requests and has been wonderful in his dealings with us.

  • 15 | Page a Marvelous Old World Charm. the Object Of
    a marvelous old world charm. The object of our walk, the Cemetery Church of All Saints, stood prominently before us. Hopefully we would be able to find grave markers with names of Valerie’s ancestors there. As it turned out, we did not. What names and dates we did find went all the way back to the 15th century, and there were numerous older, overgrown gravesites. Valerie quipped, “knowing my family, they’re completely covered and forgotten by now.” A sad comment, but considering the age of this church and cemetery, I would not be surprised. Everywhere we had been – even inside the Church itself – locals had said to her, “Oh, Prochaska? Ah, that is a common name.” None of the tombstones in the churchyard cemetery had a single, readable marker with the name “Prochaska” on them. Not a one. A bit disappointed, we went back into the Church itself to go underneath it into the Sedlec Ossuary. Words cannot adequately express the complete shock the three of us felt as walked down the steps and into the Ossuary. Its history dates back to 1278 when the abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Sedlec was sent to the Holy Land by King Otakar II of Bohemia, and returned with a handful of earth from Golgotha, then sprinkled it over the abbey cemetery. From that point on, this pious act resulted in that cemetery becoming a desirable burial spot throughout Central Europe. The church proper was first built around 1400, and has been periodically updated and restored. In the early 16th century, a half-blind monk of the order was given the task of exhuming the skeletons and stacking their bones in the chapel, arranging them in ornate patterns.

  • Fantasyland/Aggieland
    FANTASYLAND/AGGIELAND: A Bibliographic History of Science Fiction and Fantasy at Texas A&M University and in Brazos County, Texas, 1913-1985. compiled by Bill Page College Station, TX 2007 Page 1 of 134 INTRODUCTION Bill Page None of the local activites before 1967 were part of any fannish organizations -- at least not as far as I can determine. There's really no way to pick an exact beginning date for the history of science fiction and fantasy in Brazos County. For example, Bryan had a book store by 1870. It probably sold an occasional fantasy or science fiction novel, such as The Tempest or Frankenstein. After the end of the Civil War, newspapers, including the Galveston News, could be purchased in the county, as were magazines such as Godey's Ladies Book and Leslies Illustrated Weekly. These carried an occasional sf/f story. Persons wanting to know more about the early history of newspapers, magazines, libraries, and literary societies in Brazos County should read the chapters "Libraries," "Lodges and Civic Organizations," and "Cultural History: The Arts and Recreation in the Nineteenth Century" in Brazos County History: Rich Past -- Bright Future. I'm not sure when the first fantasy or science fiction film was shown in the county. Movies came to Bryan at least as early as January 1897, when "the magniscope, Edison's latest and greatest invention in the way of vitascopes" appeared in the Grand Opera House. (See the Bryan Daily Eagle, January 28, 1897, p. 4, cols. 2, 6).
