Its only real crime is being so much so. It boils “mainstream” standards and practices down Hto their essences, then turns up the flame. Violence, materialism, misogyny,homophobia, racialized agony,adolescent views on sex and sexuality...These are the common, bankable themes in mainstream hip-hop because these are the common, bankable, all-American obsessions.They’re the underbelly items that have always defined this country’s real, daily-life culture. What that means is that top-of-the-line hip-hop and its true artists (be they “mainstream” or “underground”) soar on the same terms that America’s real artists—and everyday folk—have always soared: by being un-American, by flying in the face of the fucked-up values and ideals that are wired and corroded in this country’s genetic code even as no-lip lip-service is given to notions of equality, justice and fairness. They soar by actually struggling to embody and celebrate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, even though those ideals were really only ever meant to be accessible by a privileged few. And niggers were never ever meant to be part of the smart-shoppers crowd. (Year- end wrap-up; LA Weekly, December 1998; see page 87) <snip> Criticism for me has always been rooted in the very personal impulse, <snip> You don’t need to be a student of sociology or psychology to realize that much of the turmoil that has enveloped the globe over the last few years is simply due to ever intensifying questions of identity:What does it mean to be Christian, Muslim or Jew? To be black, white,Asian or Latino? Gay/lesbian, straight or bi? To be atheist or devout believer, capitalist or socialist? What does it mean to be an American? Lying at the crux of many of these questions is the rhetorical equivalent of a lit xiv bloodbeats: vol. 1 match tossed on spilled gasoline: What does it mean to be a man? For over a hundred years now, the movies have played a huge role in answering that last question, in shaping and defining masculinity.Templates created by mainstream, box-office hits are then challenged or subverted (or merely reinforced) by indie, art- house and underground cinematic treatises. Notions of machismo and masculine honor feed and sustain themselves across national borders as inner-city kids in America consume images of martial arts warriors shipped from clear across the globe, as Mexican youth take in the cross-genre film-sampling of Quentin Tarentino for representation of north-of-the-border male cool. It’s all part of the never-ending quest to bottle that fragile, intractable, elusive, intimidating, daunting definition of a man.(Flaunt Magazine DVD column; Men’s Issue, Feb. 2005) <snip> and the art I have been most viscerally drawn to (and that which has inspired what I think is my strongest writing) <snip> Long before the Internet and multi-media corporations made it too easy for a movie or pop star to rule the world, long before Madonna and Lil’ Kim pushed the envelope of sexual imagery, and eons before Angelina Jolie crafted a fledgling rainbow tribe from impoverished nations, Josephine Baker—the barely literate daughter of a St.

In the past three years, and especially in the past twelve ILLINOIS gala months, a great many transsexual celebrities, actors and activists have PAGE 26 exploded into the public sphere.” And this month, mainstream news outlets and websites across the United States have been focused on transgender news. Almost every moment of the life of sports celebrity Bruce Jenner had been detailed, scrutinized and commented on since rumors began to surface that Jen- ner was reportedly considering matching outward appearance to inner self. Then, on Feb. 7, Jenner was involved in a car accident in Malibu, California, and the attention became frenzied. TMZ noted that, despite the incident, Jenner’s reality TV series was still going ahead as planned. TMZ had been reporting on the incident to the point of a pathological obsession—posting photos and videos of the wrecked cars involved while People magazine carried a blow-by-blow account of the accident declaring that Jenner was given a breathalyzer test.

  • “I See Myself As a Warrior”: Cultivating Youth Activist Narratives Through Projects of Social Justice
    “I See Myself as a Warrior”: Cultivating Youth Activist Narratives through Projects of Social Justice Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tamara T. Butler, B.S., M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee Professor Valerie F. Kinloch, Advisor Professor Beverly J. Moss Professor Timothy J. San Pedro 1 Copyright by Tamara T. Butler 2014 i!! Abstract Informed by a critical multicultural framework, this research explores how youth raise awareness, critique inequitable structures, and engage in an array of social justice work. Two research major questions that guide this project are as follows: How do students create youth activist narratives using social justice experiences? What do students’ reflections about the narrative writing process reveal about why they engage in social justice work? In order to answer these questions, I used critical narrative inquiry as I entered a ninth-grade World Humanities classroom at Justice High School for a ten- month qualitative study. In the Humanities classroom, I focused on how students developed social justice projects on a variety of contemporary injustices (e.g., human sex trafficking, domestic violence, discrimination against LGBTQI youth, gentrification) and explored how youth came to understand, speak, and write about social inequities and injustices as well as how they position themselves as advocates, allies, and/or activists. Through thematic analysis of their Capstone Project, I analyzed how four girls used stories to engage in socially just activist practices. The narratives that emerged from this work can offer insight into how K-20 classrooms can foster partnerships that generate transformative, “activist” curricular engagements.

The archive is now almost fully catalogued and preserved in archival housing. Earlier excerpts from the catalogue (available on the Archives page of the Embassy Theatre’s web site) cover the photographs inscribed to Bud Berger and the posters, playbills, programs, stools, and so on from later shows at the Embassy. This is the third excerpt, covering the public- ity photographs of the last forty-five years and a few photographs of earlier events, Bud Berger, and other members of the stage crew. The publicity photographs are primarily of individ- ual performers, but a few shows are presented as well, including Ain’t Misbehavin’, Annie, Barnum, Bubbling Brown Sugar, Cabaret, California Suite, Cats, A Christ- mas Carol, Dancin’, Evita, Gypsy, I'm Getting My Act Together And Taking It On The Road, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Peter Pan, Same Time Next Year, Side by Side by Sondheim, and Ziegfeld: A Night at the Follies.
