Since they didn’t have access to a plotter, plans had to be printed on A4 paper and stuck together, in a circle. The small details of the gate had to Tweet be drawn up from scratch, using photos and video footage. The skeleton of the gate is made up of 18 X-shaped pieces, and the spinning part is made from small planks. 89 The intricate stargate symbols had to be painstakingly carved, from wood, and chevrons first had to be carved from Styrofoam. The back of the stargate, though painted in gray, is totally fake, but the front looks realistic enough, with chevrons locking and everything. Thanks to an inner track, it even spins. Mango wasn’t too satisfied with the paint-job, but all in all this is a geeky masterpiece, just like the Stargate Share home-cinema .

  • Race, Gender, Nation and the Criminalization of Polygamy In
    “What’s love got to do with it?” Race, Gender, Nation and the Criminalization of Polygamy in Canada and the United States. By Anastasia Alexopoulos A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Gender Studies In conformity with the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August 2020 Copyright © Anastasia Alexopoulos 2020 ABSTRACT This project interrogates the weaponization of heteronormative marriage in processes of state formation and in relation to practices of polygamy. This dissertation explores how gender and race have been used at the service of the white settler-colonial state via the criminalization of polygamy; and, the role of law, policy, and science in the contemporary construction and perpetuation of normative gender roles and racial hierarchies which rely on the primacy of monogamous marriage and the criminalization of polygamy to remain coherent. Engaging with bodies of theoretical work that highlight how polygamy has been and continues to be utilized in a myriad of processes including normative constructions of the family, nation building, the state and citizenship; race and racism; sexuality; and gender equality, this dissertation investigates and interrogates struggles over the meaning and representation of polygamy at the intersection of history, law, and culture. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have been working on this dissertation for over a decade and I could not thank every person who made this possible because that list would be as long as the dissertation itself. If I don’t thank you individually here please know that I am beyond thankful for every coffee, dinner, park visit, walk, car ride, email, and text message.
