White Paper 1 Miss Universe 2015 and Feminism Beauty Pageants Can
White Paper 1 Miss Universe 2015 and Feminism Beauty pageants can trace their origins to ancient Greece, but pageants have taken place in the United States only since the early nineteenth century (Minorcon). From the beginning, countless amounts of people watch in awe as these women perform and shine on stage. Nonetheless, many have begun to question beauty pageants; this is especially prevalent in recent years with the amount of supporters for the feminist movement rapidly increasing. In January of 2015, the Miss Universe pageant was held at Florida International University, a four-year public research institution in Miami. This event generated many complaints and concerns of numerous students and faculty. A good number of people were concerned that FIU hosting the Miss Universe pageant was more detrimental than beneficial. In particular, some were worried about the serious issues that the pageant’s contestants like these face both physically and mentally. Moreover, there was the underlying issue of the objectification of women and further reinforcing traditional gender roles. The act of bringing the Miss Universe pageant to Florida International University stands in opposition to the goals espoused by the contemporary feminist movement. “The first truly modern beauty contest, involving the display of women's faces and figures before judges, can be traced to one of America's greatest showmen, Phineas T. Barnum (of circus fame)” ("People & Events: Origins of the Beauty Pageant"). Barnum’s beauty contest mandated that in order to participate one must submit a photograph of the contestant. Afterward, the photographs submitted would be displayed in his museum where citizens would vote for their favorite.

OINTER IEW® PVOL. 68, NO. 47 SERVING THE COMMUNITY OF W VEST POINT, THE U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY DECEMBER 8, 2011 Branch celebration Among the results coming out of Branch Night Dec. 1, 239 cadets chose Infantry—the most sought after of the 16 branches. Class of 2012 Cadet Timothy Tieng erupted with joy after discovering he was among those cadets. See Pages 3-4 for story and photos. MIKE STRAssER/PV 2 December 8, 2011 Commentary Pointer View Construction starting at Keller Hospital By the Directorate of Public Works A Corps of Engineers contractor is expected to begin construction on the Keller Army Community Hospital addition Monday. The contractor will begin by establishing the limits of the construction site/staging area and begin site preparation activities. This will initially eliminate approximately 60 parking spaces. The spaces that are targeted to be closed for parking during the initial phase are located in the southeastern lot—the area is the one-way staff entrance with parallel parking spots and the south portion of the intermediate lot (See photo). Patient parking will continue to be located primarily in front of the facility, with additional parking at the rear lot. From December to approximately February, the impact on parking will be diminished by identified military members of the MEDDAC staff parking elsewhere during construction. Subsequent phases of construction will affect additional MEDDAC staff. Community members should expect traffic congestion in and around the hospital. All community members are reminded that parking for patients is the first priority.

Squier Julia Gregg Brill Professor of Women’s Studies, English, and STS (Science, Technology, and Society) Kirtley H. Wilson Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Graduate Officer for the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study explores the tradition of pageantry in the United States, focusing on the pageant as an explicitly gendered cultural practice and the rhetorical relationships between that practice and U.S. citizenship. In spite of its reputation as a feminized, low culture artifact, the pageant is a consistently maintained rhetorical practice that continues to be performed in and among diverse publics. Pageantry is thus implicated in political discourses of model democratic citizenship. I explore pageantry’s symbolic influence in U.S. culture and politics in five case studies. These cases are arranged somewhat chronologically, reflecting a kind of rhetorical history of the pageant in the United States.
