Nelson, Chair This dissertation examines the photography of Carrie Mae Weems (born 1953) and her exploration issues of power within race, class, and gender. It focuses on the period of 1978-1991, from her first major series, Family Pictures and Stories (1978- 1984), to And 22 Million Very Tired and Very Angry People (1991). In these early years of her career, Weems explores junctures of identity while levying a critique of American culture and its structures of dominance and marginalization. In the wake of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and Second Wave Feminism of the 1970s, scholars— particularly women of color—began looking seriously at the intersectional nature of identity and how it manifests in culture and lived experience. These issues are the central themes Weems’s career, and by looking at her early explorations this study provides critical context for her body of work. ii Chapter One examines Weems’s first major series, Family Pictures and Stories (1978-1984). In this work, Weems uses autobiography as ethnography along with American and photographic history to question the cultural invisibility of black people. In her manipulation of personal images and history, Weems questions the process of representation, its consequences, and the constructed nature of power. Chapter Two juxtaposes her late-1980s series Ain’t Jokin’ (1987-88) and Colored People (1989-90) to explore the black tradition of signifyin’ found throughout literature and art, a framework that shows how art and culture create layers of meaning. When Weems signifies in these two series, she plays with literal and metaphorical meanings of jokes and mental associations about or applied to black people. The final chapter evaluates the role of vernacular culture in three bodies of work, namely American Icons (1988-89), Then What? Photographs and Folklore (1990), and And 22 Million Very Tired and Very Angry People (1991). Each of these works use folklore—including oral traditions and utilitarian objects—to connect the dots between culture, race, and power. By transforming these objects into tools of political activism, Weems positions her work within a larger radical tradition. iii The dissertation of Elizabeth Holland Searcy is approved.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation : FEMINISM À LA QUEBEC
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation : FEMINISM À LA QUEBEC: IDEOLOGICAL TRAVELINGS OF AMERICAN AND FRENCH THOUGHT (1960-2010) Geneviève Pagé, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Dissertation directed by: Professor Claire Moses Department of Women’s Studies This dissertation examines the travelings of three concepts central to feminism – gender, queer, and intersectionality – as they move between the United States, France, and Quebec. The concept of gender, central to U.S. feminism, is relatively absent from feminist theory in France and Quebec until the 1990s; rather, drawing on Marxist and existentialist traditions, French and Quebec feminists will deploy the term “rapports sociaux de sexe” to identify that differences among women and men are grounded in social structure and, further, that the two classes, women and men, are constituted in hierarchicized relation. The term queer, linguistically subversive in English but lacking this potential when translated into French, is mainly resisted by French materialist feminists and feminist scholars in Quebec on the basis that it displaces social reality focusing instead on resistance through performance. Nonetheless, in Quebec, activists groups such as Les panthères rose are able to present a version of queer that also addresses systemic oppressions. Finally, the concept of intersectionality, theorized first by feminists of color in the U.S. trying to reconcile their allegiances to multiple struggles, provides a useful tool for analyzing the interaction between different systems of oppression and how they shape the lives of people differently located. In France, a similar desire to theorize multiple oppressions led to the development of the concept of “consubstantialité des rapports sociaux,” whereby social “rapports” of sex and of socio- economic class are co-constituted.

  • Toward a Diasporan Ethics by Ianna Hawkins Owen A
    Ordinary Failures: Toward a Diasporan Ethics by Ianna Hawkins Owen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Darieck Scott, Chair Professor Leigh Raiford Professor Juana María Rodríguez Professor Michael Cohen Summer 2016 Abstract Ordinary Failures: Toward a Diasporan Ethics by Ianna Hawkins Owen Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Darieck Scott, Chair In Ordinary Failures I develop a new conception of “diaspora” as the ordinary failure of recognitions and solidarities founded on ideological and ancestral ties. Informed by the queer studies turn toward negativity and the relational turn in African diaspora studies, my project examines the interventions of artists and writers of the diaspora who opt to recite intraracial failure (between blacks) in the face of their structurally overdetermined failure as minoritized subjects. I identify in textual and visual objects an engagement with the promise of intimacy attendant to the artist’s lived experience of diaspora and there I aim to expose the limits of diaspora discourse. My explorations of the failures of diaspora are aided by pushing on queer theories of negativity to speak to race. This project departs from traditional approaches to black failure such as the black mainstream’s condemnation or eschewal of black failure in favor of respectability politics and the black left’s redemption of failure through revisionist narratives of resistance.

  • Out Side In: in His Arresting Work, Lyle Ashton Harris Looks to the Recent Past for New Ways Forward by Maximilíano Durón POSTED 04/02/19 9:30 AM
    Out Side In: In His Arresting Work, Lyle Ashton Harris Looks to the Recent Past for New Ways Forward BY Maximilíano Durón POSTED 04/02/19 9:30 AM Lyle Ashton Harris photographed at his studio in New York City, January 2019. ALEX LOCKETT The video opens in a dimly lit bedroom. A voice offscreen begins to speak. “Sometimes, I feel, I guess, deprived. I don’t know. I guess I do know.” A Roberta Flack song plays softly in the background: “The first time ever I saw your face / I thought the sun rose in your eyes.” A young man with a mop of black hair in a red sweater and khakis—the speaker, presumably—walks onscreen and crawls on the bed. “What should I say?” he asks. Looking into the camera, he speaks again. After a few moments, he thinks better of it and goes to grab a chunky white cordless telephone and his address book. He spends the next hour talking with friends and family. He went dancing for the first time in a few months. He’s still processing his breakup with his boyfriend. He’s in pretty bad debt, but things are looking up: he’s going to be included in an upcoming show at the Whitney Museum. Lyle Ashton Harris made this video in the early 1990s, when he had just returned to Los Angeles after finishing the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York. Then in his 20s, Harris had been making diaristic videos for a few years, and photographing his life as it went along.

  • Is There Dignity in Being Bald
    Ain’t No Such Thing as a Bald Headed Rock Star One of my many fantasies in life was to be a rock star (as recounted in Chapter 4). And, as you know, the key reason I had no hope whatsoever of being a rock star is a breathtaking lack of any discernable talent for the guitar…or for singing. The only thing I had going for me was a full head of black hair, and as one long forgotten girlfriend told me when I was a junior in high school, a faint and distant resemblance to Ricky Nelson. Even that started to go wrong during my freshman year in college. I began to find a few black hairs in the tub after washing my hair. I wondered if… Certainly not me! Couldn’t be! I had a widow’s peak, just like Ricky and Elvis…. I was destined to be a rock star or a network newsman. Hair was a prerequisite. I simply couldn’t be losing my hair. My grandfather (on my mother’s side) was bald. As were all my uncles on mom’s side of the family. Cue ball bald. With just that little horseshoe fringe around the sides. I’d read somewhere, probably in Reader’s Digest, that baldness is hereditary. If your relatives on your mother’s side of the family are bald, chances are fabulous that you will, indeed, be just as bald as they are. The good news, you’ll save money on haircuts. One summer evening, after a long day at my summer job at the paper mill, I’d taken a shower, washed my hair, and was watching TV.

  • American Renaissance Art January 26 Through March 16, 2013
    ANITA SHAPOLSKY GALLERY 152 East 65TH Street New York, NY 10065 212-452-1094 FAX: 212-452-1096 For Immediate Release: The Anita Shapolsky Gallery will present an exhibition, American Renaissance Art January 26 through March 16, 2013. Reception: Saturday, January 26, 3-6 PM. The American Abstract Art movement was the epiphany of the individual. He was the center of the painting-of his universe. The art of the Abstract Expressionists is timeless, as has been proven by the auction world since the 50's. There are other styles and movements, but none that can compare. James Dinerstein. A New York native, Dinerstein graduated from Harvard. He studied with art historian and critic Michael Fried. He worked at St. Martin's Art School in London with sculptors Anthony Caro and William Tucker. Dinerstein aims to restore the resources of plasticity and mass while manifesting the spiritual potency of Greek antiquity and musical polyphony. His recent work is more organic, primal, and overtly sensuous as it emerges from a deeper and freer source. Amaranth Ehrenhalt. After 38 years in France and Italy, Ehrenhalt returned New York in 2008. In N.Y. during the 50's she was friendly with Al Held, Ronald Bladen, and Willem de Kooning. She has exhibited with Sam Francis, Joan Mitchell, Shirley Jaffe and others in Paris. Ehrenhalt's work expands beyond the canvas to include drawings, prints, watercolors, tapestries, mosaics, murals, sculptures, poetry, prose and more. In order to experience the surprises and treasures of Ehrenhalt’s art, it must be seen and digested by the viewer.

    Periodic Review Report To the Middle States Association Commission on Higher Education Presented by The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art June 1, 2003 George Campbell Jr., Ph.D., President Commission action preceding this report: Reaffirmation of accreditation following the decennial self-study and team visit Date of the evaluation visit: April 19-22, 1998 PREPARATION OF THIS REPORT The past five years have been characterized by intense global turmoil and revolutionary change – technologically, socially, po- litically and economically – creating stimulating opportunities for higher education as well as daunting challenges. Located in Lower Manhattan, little more than a mile from Ground Zero, The Cooper Union has experienced particular stresses in recent years, and the Cooper Union community has welcomed the chance presented by this Periodic Review Report for reflection and introspection. The College is eager to articulate the changes it has made to address the unique issues faced by the institution, to reaffirm its ongoing commitment to academic excellence and to outline plans for a secure financial infrastructure to support that commitment. Planning for the preparation of this Periodic Review Report was coordinated by the Academic Council of the College and the Academic Affairs Committee of the Board, with input from faculty, students, staff and trustees. Early discussions led to a consensus on the approach and work plan for producing the document. A Periodic Review Report Working Group, with representation from all sectors of the community, and an editor were selected. The production process began within each of the aca- demic and administrative departments under the leadership of the Deans and department heads, with input from all constitu- ents.
