Her trust and patience inspired me and her enthusiasm helped me celebrate every small victory. Jonathan Flatley recognized early on where my interest and investment were, and nudged me in the right direction more than once. Although I never had the pleasure of taking a class with him, Steven Shaviro approached me with intellectual kindness and generosity and showed confidence in my work when it mattered. I am immensely grateful to Antje Kley, who has offered encouragement and support since my early days as a student of American Studies. It has been an honor to be able to share my doctoral research from afar. Throughout the years, I have enjoyed the companionship of many fellow graduate students. This dissertation would not be the same without the friendship of Erin Bell, who read and commented on all my chapter drafts, and with whom I spent many exciting hours discussing my topic. Jill Darling’s humor and ability to put things in perspective reminded me to stay grounded and to focus on what really matters. Sara Kern introduced me to postfeminism, and then left me to figure it out on my own, cheering me on from afar. Without the commiserations of Jon Plumb, Ashley Whitmore, Alisa Allkins, Melanie Zynel, and Vinny Haddad among others, this journey would have been a much lonelier one. The English department funded me for a generous six years and recognized my work with several travel awards and scholarships. I was awarded a Travel Award for Graduate Students from the Humanities Center in 2014 and a Summer 2015 Dissertation Fellowship from the Graduate School. All of this support and recognition is much appreciated. Over the years, there have been many women who have provided me with space and time to think, read, and write by taking care of my other major accomplishment, my kids. My utmost gratitude iii goes to Karen Lakämper, Yasmin Ruple, and Kassi Rieger, who have given me space and my daughter love, and have never asked for anything in return. Berend and Jürine Wilbers shared with me their love for books and encouraged me to follow my curiosity wherever it may lead, both intellectually and geographically. I have always looked up to Christian Wilbers, who has paved the way and showed me how it’s done. The unconditional friendship of Verena Urban awaits me whenever I return “home.” This dissertation was written with, for, despite, alongside, and about Lina and Lukas. Their love and their laughter filled the hours I spent away from my work, and enabled me to return to it. Finally, I am most indebted to Justin Lakämper, who always provided a perspective I hadn’t thought of, left few of my claims uncontested, and thereby forced me to sharpen my arguments. Your unwavering faith in my abilities and your willingness to compromise were invaluable sources of inspiration and motivation. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS DEDICATION __________________________________________________________________ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS _________________________________________________________ iii LIST OF IMAGES ______________________________________________________________ vi INTRODUCTION ______________________________________________________________ 1 CHAPTER 1: WHEN BOSSYPANTS LEAN IN: AFFECTIVE DISSONANCE, NEOLIBERAL POSTFEMINISM, AND THE FORECLOSURE OF SOLIDARITY ____________________________ 19 CHAPTER 2: BROKEN PROMISES OF HAPPINESS: IDEOLOGIES OF MOTHERHOOD IN CONTEMPORARY MEMOIRS OF POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION ___________________________ 46 CHAPTER 3: BREASTFEEDING MATTERS: MATERNAL BECOMING IN RECENT VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF NURSING MOTHERS _______________________________________ 86 CHAPTER 4: “THIS IS THE WAY THAT WE LIVE … AND LOVE!”: QUEERING MOTHERHOOD ON THE L WORD _______________________________________________________________ 121 CONCLUSION _______________________________________________________________ 163 REFERENCES _______________________________________________________________ 171 ABSTRACT __________________________________________________________________ 183 AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT _______________________________________________ 185 v LIST OF IMAGES Image 1.

Current political debates about motherhood tend to be centered around questions of women’s reproductive rights and the compatibility of motherhood and career. In the so-called Lean-in-Debate and Mommy Wars, which antagonize women with opposing viewpoints on the compatibility of motherhood and career, contestations of motherhood spread from print publications through popular media and the blogosphere.1 Answers to the question of what it means to be a “good” mother are marked by divisions of race, class, sexuality, and age, and are measured by the impact certain actions and decisions – where and how to give birth, whether and how long to nurse, and whether and when to resume professional careers – have on the child(ren). Experiences of pain, affection, attachment, co- dependence, frustration, anxiety, and despair as well as the concomitance of any (or all) of these are discursively simplified if not neglected, perpetuating an ideological structure in which the role of mothers continues to be defined through their contribution to a common good (i.e., patriarchy, the institution of the family, raising productive future citizens, etc.). While these are not particularly new issues – on the contrary, Betty Friedan’s analysis of the experiences of motherhood in The Feminine Mystique is frequently credited with having started second wave feminism2 – the fact that the discursive simplification continues to override, but also to produce the complexity of embodied experiences connected to mothering and motherhood indicates a need to explore further the ways in which maternal bodies encounter dominant ideological structures. Mothering as an experience is intensely visceral and thus personal in nature, but at the same time it is 1 Both of these debates were triggered by books of the same name. See Sheryl Sandberg, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead (New York: Random House, 2013), and Leslie Morgan Steiner, Mommy Wars: Stay-at-Home and Career Moms Face off on Their Choices, Their Lives, Their Families (New York: Random House, 2007). 2 Betty Friedan, The Feminine Mystique (1963; repr., New York: Norton, 2001). 2 one of the most publicly discussed, governed, and regulated processes of life in contemporary America. The ubiquity of debates surrounding motherhood may be seen as directly provoked by its personal nature: because they are embodied, and thus so personal, experiences of mothering and motherhood are difficult to predict, control, and regulate so that any attempt to do so has to operate on

Through investigation of the elements of performance art, as well as its functions and characteristics, this study intends to determine how modern haute couture fashion shows relate to performance art and can operate under the definition of performance art. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee––James Slowiak, Sandra Stansbery Buckland and Lisa Lazar for their time during the completion of this thesis.

  • “Becoming a Mother Is Nothing Like You See on TV!”: a Reflexive Autoethnography Exploring Dominant Cultural Ideologies of Motherhood
    MORAN, EMILY JEAN, Ph.D. “Becoming a Mother is Nothing Like You See on TV!”: A Reflexive Autoethnography Exploring Dominant Cultural Ideologies of Motherhood. (2014) Directed by Dr. Leila E. Villaverde. 348 pp. Mothers in contemporary American society are bombarded with images and stereotypes about motherhood. Dominant cultural discourses of motherhood draw from essentialist and socially constructed ideologies that are oppressive to women. This study uses autoethnographic research methods to explore the author’s experiences becoming a mother. Feminist theory is utilized to analyze the themes, the silences, and the absences in the autoethnographic stories. Using a feminist theoretical lens allows the author to deconstruct the hegemonic ideologies that shape the experience becoming a mother. I examine the role of dominant ideologies of motherhood in my own life. I explore the practices of maternal gatekeeping paying particular attention to the role of attachment theory in shaping the ideology of intensive mothering. I argue that autoethnography as a research method allows writers and readers to cross borders so long as they practice deep reflexivity and allow themselves to be vulnerable. This research is similar to Van Maanen’s (1988) confessional tale, where the researcher writes about the process that takes place behind the scenes of the research project. In this project, I write an autoethnography and then I describe the process of analysis, vulnerability, and reflexivity while examining the themes and silences within the data. “BECOMING A MOTHER IS NOTHING LIKE YOU SEE ON TV!”: A REFLEXIVE AUTOETHNOGRAPHY EXPLORING DOMINANT CULTURAL IDEOLOGIES OF MOTHERHOOD by Emily Jean Moran A Dissertation Submitted to the the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Greensboro 2014 Approved by Leila E.

  • 'Dior Couture,' with Stunning
    bitebookreviews ior Couture,’ with stunning pho- tography by Patrick Demarcheli- ‘Der, is a gorgeous must-have book chronicling the glory days of the Parisian fashion house established by Christian Dior shortly after the end of the Second World War. Dior, one of the legendary couturiers of all time, is famous for revo- lutionizing the world of haute-couture with the launch in 1947 of his first col- lection of hour-glass silhouettes, chris- tened the ‘New Look.’ Although he would die ten years later at the age of 52, Dior was a pow- erful muse to his successors, Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Fer- ré, and John Galliano. “The delicate stitches of Christian Dior’s couture are reminiscent of a spider’s web, mir- roring nature, and these photographs capture the silhouettes like flower buds about to bloom,” American art- ist, Jeff Koons writes in the book’s foreword. Demarchelier — a veteran fash- ion photographer who has shot editorials for the likes of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle, along with campaigns for Dior, Yves Saint Lau- rent, and Chanel — captures more than 100 gowns, suits and coats from the entire span of Chris- tian Dior haute couture through to recent creations by Galliano. Beautiful locations — like a Bei- jing movie studio, New York’s Times Square, and Paris’ Opéra Garnier — serve as the back- drop for these exquisite pieces, worn by models including Gem- ma Ward, Karlie Kloss, Agyness Deyn and Natalia Vodianova. Ingrid Sischy, International Editor for Vanity Fair’s Eu- ropean editions and former Interview Magazine Editor, wrote the introduction to the 240-page book.

It shows the influence of the series as a media object that is significant to three aspects of these women’s lesbian lifestyle construction: coming out, lifestyle development, and integration into the lesbian community. This thesis argues that, as a media object, the series helps these lesbians narrate their own biographies as they negotiate their life transitions into adulthood. 2 Declaration This is to certify that: i. this thesis comprises only my original work towards the Masters ii. due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used iii. this thesis is less than 40,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies and appendices Leah Barbara Caluzzi Date: 9-11-15 3 Acknowledgements I would like to take the opportunities to acknowledge the many people who have helped to make this project possible.
