  • Getting “Woke” with Each Joke: Black Comediennes and Representational Resistance on Youtube
    Getting “Woke” With Each Joke: Black Comediennes and Representational Resistance on YouTube by Shaunel London A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2019 Shaunel London i Abstract This research looks at the relationship between comedy, alternative media, and representations of Blackness. Using case studies Akilah Hughes and Franchesca Ramsey, two Black comediennes on YouTube, this thesis asks: how do Black women use both political comedy and alternative media to challenge the stereotypical and racialized representations of themselves in traditional media? A theoretical framework of critical race studies, post-colonialism, intersectional and Black feminisms, postmodernism, and theories of comedy in conjunction with the thematic qualitative text analysis of 30 YouTube videos were used to answer the question. My findings determined that Black women use political comedy and alternative media platforms to satirize oppressive and discriminatory ideologies and behaviours, framing instances of every day racism in absurd and exaggerated terms, which ultimately provides nuanced representations of Black womanhood that affirm the sexist, racist, and racially charged experiences and microaggressions that Black women endure on a daily basis. ii Acknowledgements Thanks be to God for Your mercies these past two years and to my family, friends, colleagues, mentors, and church family for their continued support. Merlyna, thank you for believing in me and believing in this project. It’s been an intense year for us, but I am so privileged to have made this journey with you. Your feedback has sought to make the best of my research and your jokes have made our meetings fun.

Comedy makes hard truths easier to hear. Comedy exposes hypocrisy. Comedy challenges the status quo when protocol protects the powerful. Comedy stigmatizes bad behavior. Comedy opens our eyes to perspectives and experiences that may not be our own. Comedy even invites us to learn about complex topics and seek more information about them. Comedy serves as a form of catharsis and social critique, and it opens the door to talking about taboo ideas; it normalizes groups and individuals too often portrayed as “the other.” Today, diverse comedy writers and performers want to create hilarious comedy that reveals their lived realities, addresses injustice, and brings people together to connect about urgent topics like racial justice, gender equity, climate change, Islamophobia, drug addiction, gun violence, and so much more. They want their comedy to make it out in the world, sometimes collaborating with philanthropists, movements, and social justice organizations to expand their audiences and social impact.

  • Cultural Appropriation
    1 | AN INTRODUCTION TO WHAT I HEAR WHEN YOU SAY Deeply ingrained in human nature is a tendency to organize, classify, and categorize our complex world. Often, this is a good thing. This ability helps us make sense of our environment and navigate unfamiliar landscapes while keeping us from being overwhelmed by the constant stream of new information and experiences. When we apply this same impulse to social interactions, however, it can be, at best, reductive and, at worst, dangerous. Seeing each other through the lens of labels and stereotypes prevents us from making authentic connections and understanding each other’s experiences. Through the initiative, What I Hear When You Say ( WIHWYS ), we explore how words can both divide and unite us and learn more about the complex and everchanging ways that language shapes our expectations, opportunities, and social privilege. WIHWYS ’s interactive multimedia resources challenge what we think we know about race, class, gender, and identity, and provide a dynamic digital space where we can raise difficult questions, discuss new ideas, and share fresh perspectives. 1 | Introduction CULTURAL APPROPRIATION Cultural Appropriation is like taking a test and getting an “A.” And then someone else copies off your test and “ gets an “A” plus extra credit.

  • Listening in a Time of War: on Violence, Peacemaking, and the Rhetoric of Listening
    Listening in a Time of War: On Violence, Peacemaking, And the Rhetoric of Listening Bianca Hinz-Foley Trejo TC660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin December 6, 2016 _______________________________ Rasha Diab, Ph.D. Rhetoric and Writing Department Supervising Professor _______________________________ Jerome Bump, Ph.D. English Department Second Reader ABSTRACT Author: Bianca Hinz-Foley Trejo Title: Listening in a Time of War: On Violence, Peacemaking, and the Rhetoric of Listening Supervising Professor: Dr. Rasha Diab, Ph.D. The U.S. state has murdered more Black men, women, trans, and gender queer people in 2015 than in the most deadly year of lynchings (Merelli). 2015 was in fact the deadliest year for trans women of color (Adams). And yet 2015 was also the year that Hillary Clinton began her campaign for president on a white feminist platform, which Black Lives Matter activists rightly called out for being racist. One year later, the sexual assault and murder of a white-passing UT student unleashed a flood of both white sympathy and anti-black symbolic violence. This thesis explores the violence than runs through our rhetoric, particularly as it relates to the intersections of race and gender, and wonders about the possibility for resisting symbolic violence and engaging peacemaking by listening with an intersectional lens. 2 Acknowledgements One day I was at Savers arguing with myself over whether or not to buy a 99 cent portfolio for my thesis because I didn’t know if I would ever actually finish it. A stranger overheard me and gave me $10 to treat myself when I finally turned in my thesis.
