  • Lesbian Camp 02/07
    SQS Bespectacular and over the top. On the genealogy of lesbian camp 02/07 Annamari Vänskä 66 In May 2007, the foundations of the queer Eurovision world seemed to shake once again as Serbia’s representative, Queer Mirror: Perspectives Marija Šerifović inspired people all over Europe vote for her and her song “Molitva”, “Prayer”. The song was praised, the singer, daughter of a famous Serbian singer, was hailed, and the whole song contest was by many seen in a new light: removed from its flamboyantly campy gay aesthetics which seems to have become one of the main signifiers of the whole contest in recent decades. As the contest had al- ready lost the Danish drag performer DQ in the semi finals, the victory of Serbia’s subtle hymn-like invocation placed the whole contest in a much more serious ballpark. With “Molitva” the contest seemed to shrug off its prominent gay appeal restoring the contest to its roots, to the idea of a Grand Prix of European Song, where the aim has been Marija Šerifović’s performance was said to lack camp and restore the to find the best European pop song in a contest between contest to its roots, to the idea of a Grand Prix of European Song. different European nations. The serious singer posed in masculine attire: tuxedo, white riosity was appeased: not only was Šerifović identified as shirt, loosely hanging bow tie and white sneakers, and was a lesbian but also as a Romany person.1 Šerifović seemed surrounded by a chorus of five femininely coded women.

  • Gay-Centric Identity: a Challenge to Gay Cultural Script, Gay
    GAY-CENTRIC IDENTITY: A CHALLENGE TO GAY CULTURAL SCRIPT, GAY GHETTO AND PERFORMANCE by Robert D. Beebe III A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, Florida December 2008 Copyright by Robert D. Beebe III 2008 ii ABSTRACT Author: Robert D. Beebe III Title: Gay-Centric Identity: A Challenge to Gay Cultural Script, Gay Ghetto and Performance Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Noemi Marin Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2008 For many gay men performing a gay-centric identity can be challenging. By adopting a set of expected behaviors known as the gay cultural script, many of these men are potentially met with discrimination from both heterosexual and homosexual communities. The gay cultural script is readily available as it is found within the gay ghettos and through various representations of gay men in the media. This research question examines how the gay cultural script when found within the gay ghetto and through the media’s representation of gay men provides a lens to which the performance of a gay-centric identity may be communicated and shared. The focus of this research is separated into three interconnected areas: (1) exploration of gay-cultural script, (2) location to which the gay cultural script operates and, (3) analysis of the relationship between the gay cultural script and gay-centric identity performance. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER ONE: Challenges for a Gay-Centric Identity . 1 Cultural Script and Gay Cultural Script.

In this piece, I highlight various intersections of Camp and queerness over the last century and attempt to understand Camp’s place in High Fashion today.

  • Vanguard Avant-Garde
    The images reproduced here accord with fair use. Please acknowledge credits. 1 © Susan Buck-Morss, 2006. Vanguard/Avant-garde* It is not my intent to produce yet another narrative of how Lenin and the party victimized the avant-garde. Rather, it is to argue that conceptions of temporality have political implications,1 and that blindness to this fact contributed to the historical failure of the artistic avant-garde and the political vanguard alike.2 It is difficult to see this situation clearly, because the historical actors themselves did not. The terms "avant- garde" and "vanguard," which I am defining against each other, were not held apart with any rigor in the early twentieth century.3 In Russia at the time of the Revolution they seem to have been used interchangeably, or just as often not used at all.4 It was only in the 1960s that Western art historians constructed retroactively an international narrative • * Based on material from Susan Buck-Morss, Dreamworld and Catastrophe: The Passing of Mass Utopia in East and West. (Cambridge: MIT Press, 2000). 1. I am indebted to Peter Osborne's Politics of Time for this argument. 2. Recent scholarship argues that the artists, not the political leaders, most vociferously called for a cessation of cultural autonomy and a unity of cultural line. Charlotte Douglas goes quite far in exonerating everyone but the artists themselves: "Until the mid-1920s, the Party resisted the insistent demand from literary and art groups to endorse a genuine official style. In a decree of June 1925, however, it finally capitulated, supporting the goal of a culture that was specifically proletarian" ("Terms of Transition," Great Utopia, p.

  • The Third Reich and the Appropriation of Romanticism
    1 Nightmarish Romanticism: The Third Reich and the Appropriation of Romanticism Bronte Wells Attempting to trace the intellectual history of any political movement is, at best, problematic. Humans construct political movements and the intellectual, philosophical underpinnings of those movements, and, in general, it is not one person who is doing the creating, but rather a multitude of people are involved; the circumstance of how politics is created is a web, which makes it difficult for researchers to trace the historical roots of movements. Nazi Germany has been the focus of numerous research projects to understand the intellectual roots of Nazism and the how and why they were successful in gaining and consolidating power. In line with popular theories in Sociology and History, earlier researchers have traced the intellectual roots of the Nazis in order to situate Nazi Germany as anti-modern, which by extension would situate their crimes against humanity and fascism in the same camp. In particular, Romanticism has been the movement that some historians have cited as a possible root for Nazism. The primary goal of this paper will be to disrupt the historical continuation argument, deconstruct the main parts of each of the camps, and provide support for the appropriation argument. This goal is designed to connect to the much larger debate of the state of anti-modern/modern of Nazism, and aid in showing Nazism as a modern movement. It is through researching and analyzing the how and why the Nazis appropriated Romanticism that allows academics to study the influences from the past in the development of National Socialism, while accounting for the frame that the Nazis used to read the Romantics and the purpose for the way that Romantic literature was framed within Nazi-Germany.

  • What Is German Romanticism (Noch Einmal), Or the Limits of Scholarship
    1 Figure: What Is German Romanticism (noch einmal), or The Limits of Scholarship The world must be romanticized. This is the way to rediscover its original meaning. By giving the base a lofty meaning, the ordi- nary an appearance of mystery, the known the dignity of the unknown and the finite an aura of infinity, I romanticize it. —Novalis The mere idea of a coincidence of opposites can arouse in us inklings of the reality of the unseen, for we are stirred, even in spite of ourselves, by anything that bodes release from the prison of quotidian logic. Yet, to affirm the reali- ty of the unseen, that is, to be a transcendentalist in Western academic cul- ture at the turn of the century, is akin to being a liberal in current American politics: both positions are generally regarded as fraught with hope-fueled delusion and sentimental idealism. Consider, for instance, some recent post- structuralist re-visions of German Romanticism, which appear to have under- mined that movement’s lofty status in the annals of Western culture, a status that resides, in large measure, in its unabashed appreciation of the mystery of ontic unity. This undermining has taken two forms, one tendentious, the other well-intentioned. Paul de Man, echoing in The Rhetoric of Romanticism Nietzsche’s deconstruction of traditional metaphysical verities, epitomizes the former trend in his outright excoriation of the Romantic vision of Paradise Regained: “The idea of innocence recovered at the far side and by way of 19 20 GOING BEYOND THE PAIRS experience, of paradise consciously regained after the fall into consciousness, the idea, in other words, of a teleological and apocalyptic history of con- sciousness is, of course, one of the most seductive, powerful, and deluded topoi of the idealist and romantic period” (267).
