Johnson, Allison Perlman, and Jennifer Terry, for their continued generosity and engaged mentorship. They have made this writing a revelatory journey and enriched the project at every stage with incisive suggestions, questions, and revisions. Special thanks are due to Victoria E. Johnson for patiently helping to shape the dissertation’s focus and structure through innumerable meetings and drafts. Truly, I could not ask for a more uplifting academic team. This writing and research benefitted immeasurably from the contributions of faculty, colleagues, and friends at UCI. My two additional prospectus committee members, Braxton Soderman and Fatimah Tobing-Rony, worked with me extensively during seminars and the prospectus process to hone the dissertation’s key arguments and interventions. I also want to thank my incredible graduate cohort, Finley Freibert, Tavleen Kaur, Matt Knutson, and Louise Sider for their kindness and camaraderie throughout my tenure as a Ph.D. student. Finley, in particular, regularly workshopped chapters with me and directed my attention to sources that I otherwise would not have considered. Additional appreciation goes to all of the archivists, librarians, and staff who lent their time and expertise to this research, including Mazie Bowen at the University of Georgia, Ned Comstock at USC, J.C. Johnson at Boston University, and Michael C. Oliveira at the ONE. Lastly, my everlasting gratitude to my parents, Jill Robbins and Frank Kruger- Robbins, for their unwavering love and encouragement. And, of course, to my source of strength and inspiration, Nathan Guillory – you mean the world to me. iv CURRICULUM VITAE EDUCATION Ph.D. Visual Studies with Graduate Feminist Emphasis, University of California, Irvine, 2019 Dissertation: Queering and Qualifying the Wasteland: Network Television, Awards Discourse, and Gay Legitimation in Primetime from 1971-1995 Committee: Victoria E.

Material traces refer to both the moving image products and the assortment of documentation about the processes of television as industrial and creative endeavors. By identifying the development of television-specific archives and collecting areas in the 1950s to the 1970s, the dissertation contributes to television studies, specifically pointing out how television materials were conceived as cultural and historical materials “worthy” of preservation and academic study.

You get a delightful combination of fun-loving, sometimes volatile, creative, artistic and always-on-the-move proudly-gay married East Bay couple known as Bruce and Gilberto! In April 1947, Gilberto was born the youngest of five children in a village near Nicaragua’s third largest city, Estelí, 150 miles north of Managua, the capital city, and about three hours from the Honduran border. He had two older brothers and two older sisters. “I always felt like I lived in a very small town,” Gilberto recalls, “since I grew up in a close-knit family and protected community where everybody knows you and watches out for you. We were always out and about, playing, swimming, dancing and singing. We were never afraid to go anywhere or do anything, because we always felt safe. I was frequently asked to perform – sometimes poetry, sometimes dancing – I loved the attention.” The Catholic Church played a major role in his childhood and youth. “Our family was very orthodox Catholic,” Gilberto says, “including Latin mass – which I loved – confession, first communion and I was an acolyte for many years. I felt fine about my relationship with God, so in the confessional, the priests would ask if I loved my mother or respected other people.
