    The Berkeley Beacon • November 11, 2019 • https://berkeleybeacon.com/bright-lights-film-festival-set- to-screen-controversial-film-adam/ Bright Lights Film Festival set to screen controversial film ‘Adam’ By Taina Millsap, Staff Writer Emerson College plans to screen Adam at the Nov. 12 Bright Lights Film Festival—a movie that has drawn significant criticism from the LGBTQ community and is the subject of a petition advocating for its removal from theaters. When the 2019 comedy film Adam premiered at Sundance Film Festival in January, it immediately drew negative attention from the LGBTQ community. Many queer people criticized the film for being homophobic and transphobic, with many calling for bans on the film with Anna Feder works as the curator of the Bright Lights Film petitions. Festival, which will bring controversial film 'Adam' to campus on Nov. 12. Montse Landeros / Beacon Staff One petition with over 4,100 signatures at the time of publication claims the film’s subject matter represents lesbian and transgender culture in a harmful way. “This movie is putting down trans men as not being real men. By implying that a lesbian would date a trans man,” the petition read. “Which isn’t true, because a lesbian only finds women sexually or romantically attractive. This movie puts down Lesbian and Trans culture. Which the LGBT+ community does not tolerate.” The movie currently has a 2.2/10 star rating on IMDb. The film is adapted from a book known by the same title, written by author Ariel Schrag. Wicked Queer, a Boston-based LGBTQ film festival, will co-present the film as part of Trans Awareness Week.

Signed declaration _________________________________ Date __________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis examines the notion of misdirection and queer women of colour representation in contemporary fiction and graphic narratives. Its aim is to analyse the gaps in discursive debates that overlook or minimise queer women of colour subjectivities. In so doing, it develops new lines of critical enquiry that bring into dialogue recurring themes of race, gender, class, homophobia, sexual violence and trauma. The thesis discusses five texts published between 1982 and 2008, opening up critical pathways into the interrogation of intersecting oppressions that limit and/or completely eradicate the voices and realities of queer women of colour. Developing the notion of misdirection as both an analytical and performative tool that problematises ‘difference’, this thesis shows that through contemporary framings, queer women of colour representation in literary fiction and comics/graphic narratives can be liberated from the cultural hegemony of white- centric paradigms.

  • Comics, Graphic Narratives, and Lesbian Lives
    14 HEIKE BAUER Comics, Graphic Narratives, and Lesbian Lives Lesbian comics and graphic narratives have gained unprecedented cultural presence in the twenty-fi rst century. 1 The publication of Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir Fun Home (2006) marks the pivotal moment in this development as it pushed both comics and lesbian cultural production into the literary mainstream. Part of the popular – and critical – appeal of Fun Home is because of the book’s literariness: its modernist frame- work and the intertextual references to queer and mainstream fi ction by which the narrative takes shape. Furthermore, Fun Home’s focus on the queer subjects of a diffi cult family history speaks to some of the most prevalent concerns in contemporary cultural criticism: the contingencies of feelings, and the relationship between individual and collective identity formations. Fun Home makes a distinct contribution to these debates by insisting that lesbianism is “the central organizing principle of [Alison’s] existence,” shaping her own life and the ways she views – and is viewed by – the world. 2 The work prompts specifi c questions about the category of “lesbian comics” and what it can tell us about comics, lesbian lives, and the cultural visibility of both. This chapter takes Bechdel’s work as its start-and-end point for exam- ining contemporary lesbian comics. It contextualizes and historicizes her work by providing an overview of major developments in lesbian comics. Paying particular attention to the gendered conditions of possibility that defi ne comics culture, the chapter addresses a gap in contemporary (queer) criticism: that despite the surge in interest in Bechdel’s work and graphic narratives more broadly,3 and despite the existence of a substantial online archive about lesbian comics created by artists, readers, and collectors, 4 we still need more sustained critical studies of contemporary lesbian com- ics.

San Diego: San Diego Comic-Con, Inc., 1981.) © Erin Hanna 2014 For Daddy I only have to close my eyes dear And suddenly I’m where you are ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It seems strange, at the end of a process so dependent on intensive research and critical thought, to shift gears and channel something directly from my heart onto the page. Some people talk about their dissertation or book as a labour of love. But if I’m speaking from the heart here, I should confess that most of the time it just felt like a lot of really hard work; hard work that was fueled by the love and generosity of a lot of people, whom I’m incredibly lucky to have in my life. It’s really their love that made my labour possible. I was very fortunate to have an array of fabulous professors and mentors as I worked towards my Bachelors and Masters degrees at York University’s Department of Film. John McCullough and Suzie Young encouraged me to pursue graduate school and their instruction and mentorship spurred my intellectual growth and changed the way I thought about media.

Donate with PayPal Celebrating 25 years of service and positive change January 2020 - Volume 26 Issue 1 Doris I. “Lucki” Allen, PhD [Chief Warrant Officer 3, Retired, U.S. A rmy] Since she spent the first 17 years of her life in El Paso, TX, and considerable time in and around the Tuskegee Institute (now University) in Alabama, there are people who refer to CW3 Doris “Lucki” Allen as a “southerner”. However, Lucki considers herself rather a citizen of the world! Born in May 1927, Lucki was the youngest of five children, though one of her three older brothers died of aluminum poisoning when she was just one year old. Both her father and her uncle were barbers who served primarily white clientele. “I’m not sure how it happened that their customers were mostly white,” Lucki says, “that’s just sort of how it fell out in those days. We spoke Spanish in our home, but never did pass for anything but ‘Negro’, though none of us picked cotton like some of the other black families around us. Since the black community didn’t have regular dance halls and other meeting places – outside of church – we frequently went to Latino clubs for dancing and socializing.” Lucki attended elementary and secondary school in El Paso. Then at age 17, she followed in her older sister, Jewel’s, footsteps and went east to what was then called the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama, where she majored in Physical Education.
