  • Gender and Sexuality in Joan Rivers' Stand-Up Comedy Performance Sharon Lockyer, B
    From toothpick legs to dropping vaginas: Gender and sexuality in Joan Rivers’ stand-up comedy performance Sharon Lockyer, Brunel University Abstract This article employs sociocultural analysis to examine Joan Rivers’ stand-up comedy performances in order to reveal how she successfully operates in a sphere of artistic expression that has been, and continues to be, male-dominated. The analysis uncovers how Rivers’ stand-up comedy performance involves a complex combination of elements and how it fuses features that are regarded as ‘traditionally masculine’, such as aggression, with features frequently used by other female stand-up comedians, such as self-deprecating comedy and confessional comedy. Furthermore, the analysis exposes the complex ways in which constructions of gender and sexuality are negotiated and re-negotiated in Rivers’ stand-up comedy performance, and illustrates how dominant ideological identity constructions can be simultaneously reinforced and subverted within the same comic moment. Keywords gender sexuality stand-up comedy Joan Rivers self-deprecation ageing female body masculine discourses Introduction A large body of academic and industry-related evidence suggests that the stand-up comedyscape has always been, and continues to be, male-dominated (Channel 4 2010; Chortle 2011; Gray 1994; Nilsen and Nilsen 2000; Ross 1998; Zoglin 2009). Such male dominance is reflected in the number of male stand-up comedians compared with female stand-up comedians and the aggressive performative features that this form of artistic expression utilizes, which are often perceived as ‘traditionally male’. Despite this, female 1 stand-up comedians can, and do, penetrate this male-dominated industry and have successful stand-up comedy careers.

  • Passenger Rail Feasibility Study – Draft Report an Analysis of Rail Transit Options on the 32-Mile Branch Rail Line in Santa Cruz County, CA
    Comments received May 21 – July 31, 2015 on the Passenger Rail Feasibility Study – Draft Report An analysis of rail transit options on the 32-mile Branch Rail Line in Santa Cruz County, CA Link to document and background information: http://www.sccrtc.org/projects/rail/ Lead Agency: Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission, www.sccrtc.org Grant Funding: California Department of Transportation’s Transit Planning Program Attachment: Comments Received on Draft Rail Passenger Rail Study Attachment-Caltrans Detailed Comments on the Passenger Rail Feasibility Study General Comments 1. Reconciling community preference and feasibility: The two scenarios that were identified as feasible do not include service to Watsonville. Following the release of the draft report, the community demonstrated preference for scenarios that connected to Watsonville. This includes the preference of community leadership, as discussed at the June RTC Board meeting, as well as the preference of many public workshop attendees. Since these meetings, we assume SCCRTC has been working with project consultants to investigate creative approaches to developing service scenarios that may be feasible and include Watsonville. However, it is unclear as to what the next steps will be if service to Watsonville is ultimately deemed infeasible from a construction and operations standpoint. Specific Comments Comment Page/Sheet Parag Section Comment No. No. raph 0.0 – Caltrans recommends deleting “commuter and/or intercity” from bullet Bullet 1 iii Purpose of #3. The study is primarily evaluating either rail transit or commuter #3 Study rail service, but not intercity rail service. Other Scenario E is clearly the highest scoring with three others tied around 2 xi evaluation Last 2nd; maybe the narrative shouldn’t group E with the two others as measures… scoring the highest.
