    A BIG, GAY, HIV-FRIENDLY TV SHOW: A QUEER CRITICAL RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TELEVISION SERIES LOOKING A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FUFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF THE ARTS BY: SPENCER WILLIAM COILE ADVISOR: DR. KRISTEN L. MCCAULIFF BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, IN MAY 2017 ii Acknowledgements I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to everyone who made this thesis possible. First and foremost, I have to thank Dr. Kristen McCauliff for taking a chance on an unknown kid (me) and agreeing to be his thesis advisor way back in January of 2016. Little did we know then that our meetings would inevitably turn into weekly gab sessions about television and movies? I wouldn’t have had it any other way. But beyond that, you pushed me to think critically and to evaluate the media I constantly consume with such vigor and passion. And for that, I am forever grateful. It may have taken you over a year to watch Looking, but that’s okay. Next, where on earth would I be without my thesis committee, Dr. Glen Stamp and Dr. Rob Brookey? Glen, you made choosing Ball State for my Master’s the easiest decision in the world—not only because your APA is always immaculate, but also because you never failed to remind me that my voice had merit and my ideas were valuable. Your undying support means the absolute world to me. Rob, the second we sat down for lunch and you told me how you had recently become obsessed with Difficult People, I knew I wanted to learn from you.

  • Representations of Hiv/Aids in Popular American Comic Books, 1981- 1996
    REPRESENTATIONS OF HIV/AIDS IN POPULAR AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS, 1981- 1996 William Richard Avila A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2021 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Michael Decker Graduate Faculty Representative William Albertini Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2021 William Richard Avila All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffery Brown, Advisor From 1981-1996, the United States experienced an epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) that held profound implications for issues ranging from civil rights, public education, and sexual mores, to government accountability, public health, and expressions of heterosexism. Popular comic books that broached the subject of HIV/AIDS during the U.S. epidemic elucidate how America’s discourse on the disease evolved in an era when elected officials, religious leaders, legal professionals, medical specialists, and average citizens all struggled to negotiate their way through a period of national crisis. The manner whereby comic book authors, illustrators, and publishers engaged the topic of HIV/AIDS changed over time but, because comic books are an item of popular culture primarily produced for a heterosexual male audience, such changes habitually mirrored the evolution of the nation’s mainstream, heteronormative debates regarding the epidemic and its sociocultural and political implications. Through studying depictions of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in popular comic books, alterations in the heterocentric, national discourse emerge revealing how homophobic dismissals of the “gay plague” in the early 1980s gave way to heterosexual panic in the mid-1980s, followed by the epidemic’s reinterpretation as a national tragedy in the late-1980s.
