Peggy Ann Bloomer Artist Statement Peggy Ann Bloomer 22 Heritage Circle, Clinton, CT 06413 203-215-9250 [email protected] p [email protected] www.peggybloomer.net Artist Statement. On August 4, 2019 I turned on the news to hear about the dual shootings in El Paso, TEXAS and Dayton, Ohio. I had been invited to take photos of the Salsa Night at the Shoppes at Yale that evening. What I saw there was a diverse, engaged community that embodied community, kindness and the American spirit. These are 5 images that show the community, familes and hope that I believe are the best qualities as us as Americans. Peggy Ann Bloomer 22 Heritage Circle, Clinton, CT 06413 203-215-9250 [email protected] p [email protected] www.peggybloomer.net Teaching Philosophy. My goal, as an instructor, is to create life-long learners who have the tools to ask the questions necessary to carry them throughout their careers and lives and to continue the process of learning long after leaving the classroom. I view technology as an essential part of the human story and believe that all designers should embrace the evolving change that is part of graphic design, while supporting humanity and ethical behavior. One thing that I have learned by going back to school, is the importance of peer-to-peer and teacher-to-student interaction. These interactions really helped me personally while I was completing my doctorate. Because of this, whether online or face-to-face, I foster easy access to me as a professor. I also encourage and create an environment where students collaborate and learn with each other through discussion, group work and networking in and outside of the classroom. I always endeavour to teach and treat students with a generosity of spirit. I encourage all students to contact me as they need to by email, phone and text messaging. Although I have worked as an adjucnt for over ten years, I have partcipated with my departments. For example, I take an active role in the portfolio review of each graduating class of Interactive Digital Design majors at Quinnipiac since 2011. I have also volunteered my time to run a sample college class for local New Haven students at Quinnipiac for the last 4 years and I attend division meetings at Herzing University to evaluate student work with industry leaders.

  • Masculinities in American Psycho and Darkly Dreaming Dexter
    Humanities and Social Sciences Review, CD-ROM. ISSN: 2165-6258 :: 08(02):519–534 (2018) FROM TOXIC TO POLITICALLY CORRECT: MASCULINITIES IN AMERICAN PSYCHO AND DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER Petra Fišerová Masaryk University, Czech Republic American Psycho (1991) and Darkly Dreaming Dexter (2004) are two American novels known for having serial killers for protagonists. The gender performances of these two self-proclaimed psychopaths, however, could not be more different; one brings traditional portrayals of violent masculinity to extremes, while the other invents a new take on fictional masculinity. With his desire to punish women, desperation to one-up other men, and frequent attacks of gay panic, American Psycho ’s protagonist Patrick Bateman presents the worst extreme of hegemonic masculinity (as discussed by Connell, O’Neil and others). Driven by his fragile nerves and an even more fragile ego, Patrick often loses control and kills innocent people, his violence all the more heinous and sexualized if the target is a woman. The protagonist of the Dexter series , on the other hand, is an asexual man who has no interest in sexualized violence. Self-possessed, cool-headed, and rational, he knows how to control his bloodlust and channel it productively by hunting other murderers. In pretending to be unremarkable, he positions himself as a submissive man, yet his ego is never threatened by women or other men. Jeff Lindsay’s Dexter Morgan is proof that you can successfully write about a monstrous serial killer in a genre based on hypermasculine tropes without having your protagonist perpetuate the ideals of hegemonic masculinity. Keywords: Hegemonic Masculinity, Counterhegemonic, Control, Crime Literature.

Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/48836 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Desiring Dexter: the pangs and pleasures of serial killer body technique Stephanie Green1 School of Humanities, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia Abstract The television series Dexter uses the figure of appealing monstrosity to unfold troubled relationships between corporeality, spectatorship and desire. Through a plastic-wrapped display of body horror, lightly veiled by suburban romance, Dexter turns its audience on to the consuming sensations of blood, death and dismemberment while simultaneously alluding to its own narrative and ethical contradictions. The excitations of Dexter are thus encapsulated within a tension between form and content as ambivalent and eroticised desire; both for heroic transgression and narrative resolution. Arguably, however, it is Dexter’s execution of a carefully developed serial killer body technique which makes this series so compelling. Through an examination of Dexter and his plotted body moves, this paper explores the representations of intimacy and murderous identity in this contemporary example of domestic screen horror entertainment. Keywords: Dexter, body-technique, desire, crime television, horror 1 [email protected] Launched in 2006, the television drama series Dexter has been a ratings record- breaker for its network producers (Showtime, CBS 2007-2011).

Millions of people around the globe are fascinated by these shows1 and this trend probably will only develop faster and reach larger audiences in the coming years. Not only has the number of television shows that have the concept of the killer as their focal point increased, so has the amount of people watching them. Stephen Asma explains the rise in popularity of such “killer” TV: “We live in a consumer culture, and consumption not only fulfills desires but also is a means of imposing order and control. Commodifying a horror is one way of objectifying and managing it” (280). Of all types of murderers, the serial killer has garnered the most public attention in the popular media and even the collectors’ market.

  • Why Do We Love Dexter Morgan in the Morning? by Catalin Brylla
    Why do we love Dexter Morgan in the Morning? by Catalin Brylla “Before familiarity can turn into awareness, the familiar must be stripped of its inconspicuousness. [...] However frequently recurrent, modest, vulgar it may be, it will now be labeled as something unusual.” The above quote by Bertold Brecht is an excellent starting point to analyze the title sequence of Dexter. This short sequence takes the mundane morning routine of the main character and turns it into something highly unusual by adding new layers of meaning and expanding its significance beyond the literal into ideological, aesthetic, hermeneutic and even ontological realms. We will dissect this short sequence into a variety of semantic layers, but we will relate all our findings to the common audience, and how the spectator is affected when watching it. The aim is to search for the answer to one simple question: “Why is this opening sequence so appealing to the viewer?” The Morning Routine Before delving into the form and style of this sequence, it is worth exploring the choice of the “morning routine”. It appears that the morning routine has been a favorite trope for characterization in Western culture. Usually at the film’s start, these sequences show an American montage (a temporally compressed version) of the entire morning ritual (American Beauty, Dangerous Liaison, All That Jazz, The Truman Show). In most cases the purpose of this sequence is purely expositional: to describe the main character(s)’s external persona, his/ her life style, domestic environment, and most importantly, the psychological state, which is significant for the main storyline.

First, I wish to thank my advisor, Mary Vavrus, whose insightful work in feminist media studies and political economy is widely respected and admired. She has been an inspiring teacher, an astute critic, and a thoughtful pilot for me through this process, and I attempt to channel her dignity and competence daily. Thank you to my committee chair, Gilbert Rodman, for his unfailing encouragement and support and for his perceptive insights; he has a rare gift for challenging students while simultaneously imbuing them with confidence. Donald Browne honored me with his advice and participation even as he prepared to ease his way out of active teaching, and I learned from him as his student, as his teaching assistant, and as a listener to what must be only a tiny part of his considerable collection of modern symphonic music. Jacqueline Zita’s combination of theoretical acumen and pragmatic activism is the very definition of a feminist scholar, and my days in her classroom were memorable. Laurie Ouellette is a polished and flawless extemporaneous speaker and teacher, and her writing on television is illuminating; I have learned much from her.
