  • Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity
    “In Plenty and In Time of Need”: Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity by Lia Tamar Bascomb A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies in the Graduate Division of University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Leigh Raiford, Chair Professor Brandi Catanese Professor Nadia Ellis Professor Laura Pérez Spring 2013 “In Plenty and In Time of Need”: Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity © 2013 by Lia Tamar Bascomb 1 Abstract “In Plenty and In Time of Need”: Popular Culture and the Remapping of Barbadian Identity by Lia Tamar Bascomb Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies University of California at Berkeley Professor Leigh Raiford, Chair This dissertation is a cultural history of Barbados since its 1966 independence. As a pivotal point in the Transatlantic Slave Trade of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one of Britain’s most prized colonies well into the mid twentieth century, and, since 1966, one of the most stable postcolonial nation-states in the Western hemisphere, Barbados offers an extremely important and, yet, understudied site of world history. Barbadian identity stands at a crossroads where ideals of British respectability, African cultural retentions, U.S. commodity markets, and global economic flows meet. Focusing on the rise of Barbadian popular music, performance, and visual culture this dissertation demonstrates how the unique history of Barbados has contributed to complex relations of national, gendered, and sexual identities, and how these identities are represented and interpreted on a global stage. This project examines the relation between the global pop culture market, the Barbadian artists within it, and the goals and desires of Barbadian people over the past fifty years, ultimately positing that the popular culture market is a site for postcolonial identity formation.

  • FILM BLURBS Compiled
    Original Film Blurbs — Richard Isaac — [email protected] ANTARCTICA SLGFF 2008 In two days, Omer will hit a milestone: his 30th birthday. Shy and studious, he’s still looking for that elusive spark (but without the passionate hookups everyone else is having). On one of his blind dates, he meets Danny, an enthusiastic 20-year-old aspiring dancer. Danny lives with his ex-boyfriend Ronen, a handsome journalist who befriends Omer at the library where he works. Ronen is also dating Omer’s best friend Mickey, who thinks he might be “the one.” Might Danny or Ronen be able to ignite the flame that will melt Omer's frozen heart? Shirley, Omer's little sister, wonders if her lesbian relationship with her boss Michal means settling down and giving up her long-held dream of traveling to Antarctica. A momentous birthday meal given by the siblings’ “Jewish mother from hell” (drag artist Yoam Huberman) brings matters to a head. With a collar-grabbing montage of male nudity and a subplot about alien abductions, ANTARCTICA pushes the bounds of Israeli cinema. It also brims with border-crossing truths about lust, jealousy, disappointment, and taking a chance on real intimacy, capturing the ecstatic lightheadedness of making a connection that could be the real deal, and the quiet sadness when a potential good thing slips through one’s fingers. It turns out, though, that writer-director Yair Hochner is more of a romantic than a provocateur. The overriding impression one gets from his ensemble film about oversexed, underloved young gay Israeli men (and one lesbian couple) living in Tel Aviv isn’t rebelliousness or outrage or even activism, but a pervasive wistfulness.

Whether we speak about the flourishing of architecture and the decorative arts here in the second half of the eighteenth century, the emergence of the city in the early nineteenth century as one of the great centers for the education of artists, or the achievement of towering figures such as Charles Willson Peale, Thomas Eakins, or Frank Furness, no one can dispute the fact that Philadelphia has always held an important place in the development of American art. Philadelphia’s many cultural institutions have played a significant role in this story, providing a record of its remarkable artistic achievements and enriching the lives of its citizens. Of these, none is perhaps as emblematic of the city’s remarkable artistic heritage and civic aspirations as the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Indeed, institutions like this are intended to reflect and celebrate the creative spirit and values of the communities they serve. In this regard, we can say—and do so with confidence—that there are few cities as committed to the arts as Philadelphia. The arts matter here. This is not simply a matter of civic pride; it is also, more fundamentally, about civic identity, about how Philadelphia defines itself and wants to be seen in the world.

    2009 Annual Report 1 2009 Annual Report. For yesterday. For tomorrow. 2009 Annual Report 2 The hardships of today will pass. They will be overcome. Solutions will be discovered. Strategies put into action. Successes achieved. And tomorrow will come. Our optimism is not naive. It comes from over 28 years of work — from knowledge and experience; from triumph and adversity; from responding to a changing disease and redoubling our efforts at every step. Our optimism is the foundation of our work. In 2009 that optimism was put to the test. We experienced the unprecedented shift that accompanied a change of administration and enjoyed the fruits of hard-won labors with legislation that uplifted the lives of HIV-positive immigrants. We fell victim to the tumult of an economic crisis that toughened our fight and strengthened our resolve. We expanded our services and fed more people in our dining room than ever before. And we faced the prospect of dwindling resources. We did it all, not for today — for the fight against AIDS will not be won today. We did it all, instead, with the optimism of tomorrow. Because we know that one day — one tomorrow — our fight will indeed be won. That’s why no matter who is in need; no matter how scarce or plentiful our resources; no matter where we find our allies or adversaries in communities and government, GMHC is for yesterday, for tomorrow, and for life.
