Thesis Polygamy on the Web: an Online Community for An THESIS POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE Submitted by Kristen Sweet-McFarling Department of Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2014 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Lynn Kwiatkowski Cindy Griffin Barbara Hawthorne Copyright by Kristen Sweet-McFarling 2014 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT POLYGAMY ON THE WEB: AN ONLINE COMMUNITY FOR AN UNCONVENTIONAL PRACTICE This thesis is a virtual ethnographic study of a polygamy website consisting of one chat room, several discussion boards, and polygamy related information and links. The findings of this research are based on the interactions and activities of women and men on the polygamy website. The research addressed the following questions: 1) what are individuals using the website for? 2) What are website members communicating about? 3) How are individuals using the website to search for polygamous relationships? 4) Are website members forming connections and meeting people offline through the use of the website? 5) Do members of the website perceive the Internet to be affecting the contemporary practice of polygamy in the U.S.? This research focused more on the desire to create a polygamous relationship rather than established polygamous marriages and kinship networks. This study found that since the naturalization of monogamous heterosexual marriage and the nuclear family has occurred in the U.S., due to a number of historical, social, cultural, political, and economic factors, the Internet can provide a means to denaturalize these concepts and provide a space for the expression and support of counter discourses of marriage, like polygamy. The findings show that individuals who support polygamy, desire to practice polygamy, or who are in a polygamous relationship may use the online space provided by the Internet to make connections and develop social networks, whether those networks result in the creation of friendship, community, polygamous relationships, activism, or political involvement. My analysis is based on the observation of four ii main discussion boards on the polygamy website, participant observation conducted in the website’s chat room, eight formal, semi-structured interviews with website members and administrators, a self-administered, non-random survey of 37 individuals in the Western U.S., review of primary and secondary historical documents, information from the Internet and media addressing polygamy, and government reports and laws regarding polygamy and marriage. I also reviewed the relevant literature published from anthropology and other fields of study examining polygamy and Internet relationships. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First, I would like to thank the members of the polygamy website that I conducted research with. I am deeply grateful to those members and administrators of the polygamy website who welcomed me warmly to their community and allowed me to enter and conduct my research in their private, online space. I appreciate the openness and honesty of those, which I had the pleasure of interviewing and chatting with, who shared their invaluable perspectives and knowledge with me. Thank you to my advisor Lynn Kwiatkowski who has guided me through this entire process. I have enjoyed working closely with you over the past three years, and I greatly value your expertise, encouragement, advice, and kind words. I am also thankful for the dedication and insight of my additional committee members, Cindy Griffin and Barbara Hawthorne. I appreciate your comments and questions, which greatly improved the quality of my thesis. I want to extend a special thank you to Barbara Hawthorne. Without your guidance and the influence of your passion and enthusiasm for feminism and anthropology I received as an undergraduate, I imagine I would have followed a very different path. Finally, I am so thankful for the unwavering support, encouragement, and understanding of my husband Bobby during this demanding process. I could not have accomplished this work without you by my side. I love you. I also thank my parents, Kevin and Karen Sweet, who have taught me the meaning of hard work and have always supported my educational endeavors. I appreciate my sister Kelsey for the much needed distractions and comic relief she provided me, which helped to endure long nights of research and writing. I appreciate the love and support of all of my dear friends and family members, who, fortunately for me, are too many to list here. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT

    Polygyny: A Study of Religious Fundamentalism Margaret L. Granath Submitted under the supervision of Professor Kathleen Collins to the University Honors Program at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, magna cum laude, in political science. April 24, 2021 2 Acknowledgements: I would like to give thanks: To Prof. Kathleen Collins, for her guidance throughout the writing process of this work. She took a chance on me when I was a freshman, allowing me to work with her as a research assistant for three years of college until I wrote this thesis under her supervision. I am a better writer, a better researcher, and a better thinker due to her mentorship. To my parents, Al and Teresa. They never restricted what I read as a child (which turned out to be a good thing, because I read Under the Banner of Heaven in 7th grade, which turned into the inspiration for this thesis). Thank you for fostering my curiosity, then and now. To my siblings, Ellica and Kyle, thank you for allowing me to bore you with conversations about religion at dinner. All of my love. To Scott Romano, for delivering various fast foods to me during the writing process—I owe you many. Thank you for always reminding me of my worth (and to take a break). To Morgan McElroy, for his friendship. Editing your papers was a much-needed reprieve. Thank you for being there. To the women of Gamma Phi Beta, for listening each week as I shared the struggles and successes of this writing process.

  • William Smith, Isaach Sheen, and the Melchisedek & Aaronic Herald
    William Smith, Isaach Sheen, and the Melchisedek & Aaronic Herald by Connell O'Donovan William Smith (1811-1893), the youngest brother of Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, was formally excommunicated in absentia from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on October 19, 1845.1 The charges brought against him as one of the twelve apostles and Patriarch to the church, which led to his excommunication and loss of position in the church founded by his brother, included his claiming the “right to have one-twelfth part of the tithing set off to him, to be appropriated to his own individual use,” for “publishing false and slanderous statements concerning the Church” (and in particular, Brigham Young, along with the rest of the Twelve), “and for a general looseness and recklessness of character which is ill comported with the dignity of his high calling.”2 Over the next 15 years, William founded some seven schismatic LDS churches, as well as joined the Strangite LDS Church and even was surreptitiously rebaptized into the Utah LDS church in 1860.3 What led William to believe he had the right, as an apostle and Patriarch to the Church, to succeed his brother Joseph, claiming authority to preside over the Quorum of the Twelve, and indeed the whole church? The answer proves to be incredibly, voluminously complex. In the research for my forthcoming book, tentatively titled Strange Fire: William Smith, Spiritual Wifery, and the Mormon “Clerical Delinquency” Crises of the 1840s, I theorize that William may have begun setting up his own church in the eastern states (far from his brother’s oversight) as early as 1842.

  • Negotiating Polygamy in Indonesia
    Negotiating Polygamy in Indonesia. Between Muslim Discourse and Women’s Lived Experiences Nina Nurmila Dra (Bandung, Indonesia), Grad.Dip.Arts (Murdoch University, Western Australia), MA (Murdoch University) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2007 Gender Studies - Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Unlike most of the literature on polygamy, which mainly uses theological and normative approaches, this thesis is a work of social research which explores both Indonesian Muslim discourses on polygamy and women’s lived experiences in polygamous marriages in the post-Soeharto period (after 1998). The thesis discusses the interpretations of the Qur’anic verses which became the root of Muslim controversies over polygamy. Indonesian Muslim interpretations of polygamy can be divided into three groups based on Saeed’s categorisation of the Muslim approaches to the Qur’an (2006b: 3). First, the group he refers to as the ‘Textualists’ believe that polygamy is permitted in Islam, and regard it as a male right. Second, the group he refers to as ‘Semi-textualists’ believe that Islam discourages polygamy and prefers monogamy; therefore, polygamy can only be permitted under certain circumstances such as when a wife is barren, sick and unable to fulfil her duties, including ‘serving’ her husband’s needs. Third, the group he calls ‘Contextualists’ believe that Islam implicitly prohibits polygamy because just treatment of more than one woman, the main requirement for polygamy, is impossible to achieve. This thesis argues that since the early twentieth century it was widely admitted that polygamy had caused social problems involving neglect of wives and their children.

  • 1 Comic Book Characters and Historical Fiction: Where Alex Beam
    Comic Book Characters and Historical Fiction: Where Alex Beam Gets Joseph Smith’s Polygamy Wrong By Brian C. Hales Alex Beam addresses Joseph Smith’s polygamy in chapter 5 of American Crucifixion. From a scholarly standpoint, the chapter suffers from multiple weaknesses including the predominant use of secondary sources, quoting of problematic evidences apparently without checking their reliability, ignoring of historical data that contradicts his position, promotion of narrow and often extreme interpretations of available documents, and going beyond the evidence in constructing conclusions. I’ve been told that later chapters in American Crucifixion are generally historically accurate. Unfortunately, Beam’s treatment of the Prophet and the practice of plural marriage is so egregious and problematic, that after reading the chapter, observers will unalterably identify Joseph Smith as an adulterer, hypocrite, and fraud. When Joseph is later killed in a firestorm at Carthage, the reader may lament the injustice, but they really do not care because Beam has firmly established that Joseph was a scoundrel who probably deserved to die anyway. To me Beam’s version of Nauvoo plurality reads like historical fiction describing comic book characters who do illogical things. Beam has classified his book as “popular non-fiction,” and affirms that non-fiction works should be accurate and truthful. Accordingly, Beam’s book and his claims about its accuracy create a paradox. One of the greater weaknesses in Chapter 5 is Beam’s tendency to repeat secondary sources. There he quotes Linda King Newell and Valeen Avery eight times; Richard Van Wagoner three times; and Richard Bushman, George D.

  • (Arranged) Marriage: an Autoethnographical Exploration of a Modern Practice
    TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XXII APRIL 2020 FIRST COMES (ARRANGED) MARRIAGE: AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHICAL EXPLORATION OF A MODERN PRACTICE Author: Dian Babu Faculty Sponsor: John Landreau Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies ABSTRACT This article uses autoethnography and family interviews to analyze the modern cultural practice of arranged marriage from my standpoint as a first generation Indian-American. Borrowing from Donna Haraway’s notion of situated knowledge, Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism, and W.E.B. Du Bois’ concept of double consciousness, this article presents the idea of immigrant consciousness and precedes to contend with the sociocultural circumstances, such as transnational migration, assimilation, and racism-classism, that have prompted the evolution of a modern iteration of arranged marriage. The central question that informs this paper is what does arranged marriage mean – and how can it be defended and/or criticized – in different circumstances and from different standpoints in the transnational South Asian context? INTRODUCTION Dating is foreign to me. Is that strange to hear? Let me qualify that statement: American dating is foreign to me. I am a first-generation Indian-American, Christian girl. I am the child of parents who immigrated from India to the United States and who were brought together through an arranged marriage. The practice of arranged marriage runs through most of my family history and dating is a relatively new practice to us collectively. Important to note, however, is that my family members’ individual histories, like all histories, do not run on one generalized path. I have family members who never married, who remarried, who had forced marriages, who had “love marriages,” who married young, who married non- Indian people, who divorced, and so on and so forth.
