    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

    LGBTQ Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} Rainbow Warrior My Life in Color Gilbert Baker, Dustin Lance Black Summary In 1978, Harvey Milk asked Gilbert Baker to create a unifying symbol for the growing gay rights movement, and on June 25 of that year, Baker’s Rainbow Flag debuted at San Francisco’s Gay Freedom Day Parade. Baker had no idea his creation would become an international emblem of liberation and inclusiveness, forever cementing his pivotal role in helping to define the modern LGBTQ movement. Rainbow Warrior is Baker’s passionate personal chronicle, from a repressive childhood in 1950s Kansas, to a harrowing stint in the US Army, and finally his arrival in San Francisco, where he bloomed as both a visual artist and social justice activist. His fascinating story weaves through the early years of the struggle for LGBTQ rights, when he Chicago Review Press worked closely with Milk, Cleve Jones, and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

    READING GROUP GUIDE BLACK WAVE Michelle Tea 978-1-55861-939-5 paper, $18.95 I 978-1-55861-946-3 ebook, $18.99 1. In San Francisco, Michelle is largely defined by routine—the bagel shop around the corner, drunk nights out with friends, and failed romances at the same dive bar. What are potential gains and losses when it comes to habitual behavior? How does habit help Michelle, and how does it hurt her? 2. Addiction appears most obviously through Michelle’s drug and alcohol abuse, but how else do addictions manifest themselves in the narrative? Do different addictions affect Michelle similarly? Is every addiction different? 3. When Michelle moves from San Francisco to Los Angeles, she feels she is making a life-chang- ing decision. Does the change in setting truly change her life? Have you ever moved locations, expecting it to also result in other changes? Did that happen? Why or why not? 4. In Black Wave, characters respond differently to the apocalypse. If it were the end of the world, where would you want to be, what would you like to do, who would you like to spend the end with, and so on? 5. In Los Angeles, the second part of the novel takes on an eerie, fantastical element. How does this affect the reader’s relationship with the novel? Does it feel more or less real than the first half? More or less personal? 6. In certain parts of the book, Tea disregards linear narrative, instead stepping out of a present mo- ment to allude to the future or the past.

  • New Views from Library Drag Storytimes
    Submitted on: 21.08.2019 Queer Reflections: New Views from Library Drag Storytimes Rae-Anne Montague Department of Information Studies, Chicago State University, Chicago, USA. [email protected] Joyce Latham School of Information Studies, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, USA. [email protected] Copyright © 2019 by Rae-Anne Montague and Joyce Latham. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Abstract: In 1990, Rudine Sims Bishop authored a seminal article, Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors, describing the power of children’s multicultural literature. Sims Bishop noted that, as literature enthusiasts, we believe that potential connections between children and books can be life changing. In order for connections to happen, there have to be many kinds of stories with many kinds of characters to reflect the lived experience, understanding, and interests of readers. This paper seeks to extend on Sims Bishop’s conceptualization and considers how the analogy of mirrors, windows, and sliding glass doors applies to other aspects of library practice - in terms of library programs, particularly drag queen storytimes. It explores how queens at the library are contributing to community views. According to the American Library Association’s (ALA) Open to All: Serving the GLBT Community in Your Library (2016), “providing GLBT-friendly programming helps your community know that you are welcoming and accepting.” That said, this informative publication makes no mention of drag queens at the library. While drag has been around for centuries as part of theatre culture and in queer, underground, and/or experimental spaces, it has only come into the mainstream in recent decades with the emergence and immense success of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

González Convention Center Tentative List of Accepted Events for #AWP20 This list of accepted events for the 2020 Conference & Bookfair is tentative as we wait to receive confirmation from all event organizers and participants. We are also working to ensure that each participant does not participate in more than two events. The final conference schedule will be posted in October at awpwriter.org. The list is organized by event type: panel discussions (pg. 2), pedagogy events (pg. 76), and readings (pg. 87). Within these categories, events are alphabetized by title. Event titles and descriptions have not been edited for grammar or content. AWP believes in freedom of expression and open debate, and the views and opinions expressed in these event titles and descriptions may not necessarily reflect the views of AWP’s staff, board of trustees, or members. Visit the page on How Events Are Selected for details about how the 2020 San Antonio Subcommittee made their selections. AWP’s conference subcommittee worked hard to shape a diverse schedule for #AWP20, creating the best possible balance among genres, presenters, and topics. Every year, there are a number of high-quality events that have to be left off the schedule due to space limitations. Although the pool of submissions was highly competitive, we did our best to ensure that the conference belongs to AWP’s numerous and varied constituencies. From 1,359, we tentatively accepted 480 events involving more than 2,000 panelists. For more information about events relating to particular affinity groups, please see the Community Events of #AWP20.
