  • My Beloved Is a Bass Line: Musical, De-Colonial Interventions in Song Criticism and Sacred Erotic Discourse
    THE BIBLE & CRITICAL THEORY My Beloved is a Bass Line: Musical, De-colonial Interventions in Song Criticism and Sacred Erotic Discourse Heidi Epstein, University of Saskatchewan Abstract How might musical settings of the Song of Songs provide critical interventions in the politics of love? This case study builds a womanist intertextual matrix for the Song such that its amatory and horticultural language can be reinterpreted as irreducibly “de-colonial.” Reread through Chela Sandoval’s model of love, Alice Walker’s search for her foremothers’ and foresisters’ gardens, and Toni Morrison’s “commentary” on the Song (Beloved), the biblical text circulates de-colonial energies. And, given that music figures centrally in these womanists’ genealogies of love, a de-colonial reading of the Song mandates deconstruction of a subaltern musical archive within the Eurocentric discourse of sacred eroticism, a discourse that the Song sustains as an Ur-text. If the biblical female protagonist’s longing and seeking are reread as de-colonial and trickster-esque, she begets a subaltern musical family tree—audible today in the “Shulammitic” bass playing and protest singing of Meshell Ndegeocello. Key words Meshell Ndegeocello; Song of Songs; Bible and music; love; de-colonial theory; Toni Morrison; Alice Walker Introduction What meanings might be produced from the Song of Song’s amatory and horticultural language if it is read with a sense of love as irreducibly “de-colonial”? Some of these meanings shall emerge over the course of this article as I re-read the Song of Song’s imagery and its musicality in four phases through womanist intertexts by Chela Sandoval, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Meshell Ndegeocello.

  • The Transnational Politics of Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill
    The Transnational Politics of Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill: Competing Networks and Movement Dynamics A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Sociology The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts Ashley Speyer Spring 2013 On my honor I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this thesis. _______________ Ashley Speyer Spring 2013 Abstract Transnational advocacy networks (TANs) play an important role in restructuring global governance and maintaining international norms. Recent literature has amassed highlighting the role of transnational advocacy networks, movements, and coalitions in the promotion of international human rights norms. Drawing on social movement theory and literature on transnational advocacy networks, this paper analyzes the dynamics of transnational movement activity surrounding Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill. I argue that Ugandan human rights activists strategize with international actors to both strengthen the local movement and conceal Western power. Secondly, the case in Uganda highlights the presence of competing networks working to both promote and limit LGBT rights. Although Ugandan human rights activists are able to overcome traditional North-South power imbalances to a certain extent, they rely on the international community’s implicit pressure and structural power to exhibit influence over the Ugandan government. “I remember the moment when my friend David Kato, Uganda's best-known gay activist, sat with me in the small unmarked office of our organization, Sexual Minorities Uganda. "One of us will probably die because of this work," he said. We agreed that the other would then have to continue. In January, because of this work, David was bludgeoned to death at his home, with a hammer.

  • The Pink Swastika
    THE PINK SWASTIKA Homosexuality in the Nazi Party by Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams 1 Reviewers Praise The Pink Swastika “The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party is a thoroughly researched, eminently readable, demolition of the “gay” myth, symbolized by the pink triangle, that the Nazis were anti- homosexual. The deep roots of homosexuality in the Nazi party are brilliantly exposed . .” Dr. Howard Hurwitz, Family Defense Council “As a Jewish scholar who lost hundreds of her family in the Holocaust, I welcome The Pink Swastika as courageous and timely . Lively and Abrams reveal the reigning “gay history” as revisionist and expose the supermale German homosexuals for what they were - Nazi brutes, not Nazi victims.” Dr. Judith Reisman, Institute for Media Education “The Pink Swastika is a tremendously valuable book, replete with impressive documentation presented in a compelling fashion.” William Grigg, The New American “...exposes numerous lies, and tears away many myths. Essential reading, it is a formidable boulder cast into the path of the onrushing homosexual express...” Stan Goodenough, Middle East Intelligence Digest “The Pink Swastika is a powerful exposure of pre-World War II Germany and its quest for reviving and imitating a Hellenistic-paganistic idea of homo-eroticism and militarism.” Dr. Mordechai Nisan, Hebrew University of Jerusalem “Lively and Abrams call attention to what Hitlerism really stood for, abortion, euthanasia, hatred of Jews, and, very emphatically, homosexuality. This many of us knew in the 1930’s; it was common knowledge, but now it is denied...” R. J.

  • Scott Lively, U.S. Pastor, Wages Uganda Anti-Gay Effort, Lawsuit Alleges
    Scott Lively, U.S. Pastor, Wages Uganda Anti-Gay Effort, Lawsuit Alleges BRIDGET MURPHY 03/14/12 10:56 PM ET BOSTON — An East African gay advocacy group filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against a Massachusetts evangelist, alleging he has waged a decade-long campaign to persecute gays in Uganda. The suit was filed in federal court in Springfield against minister Scott Lively under a statute that Sexual Minorities Uganda says allows non-citizens to file U.S. court actions for violations of international law. Frank Mugisha, who heads the advocacy group, said it was singling out Lively for "helping spread propaganda and violence" against Uganda's gay people. "We hope that he will be held accountable for what he did in Uganda," said Mugisha, who won the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award last year. "We want to send out a clear message to him and to others." Lively, of Abiding Truth Ministries, is one of a handful of American pastors whom Ugandan gay activists accuse of having helped draft the original version of the African nation's anti- homosexuality bill. The bill called for the death penalty for certain homosexual acts such as when gay people with AIDS were caught having sex. It has since been revamped to replace the death penalty with life imprisonment as a maximum sentence. Lively said Wednesday the legal action was "absurd" and "completely frivolous." He said in an email to The Associated Press that he has never advocated violence against homosexuals. He said he has preached against homosexuality but advised therapy for gays, not punishment.
