Winkler) ____________________________________________ Reader (Sheldon Anderson) ____________________________________________ Reader (Andrew R. L. Cayton) ____________________________________________ Reader (Marguerite S. Shaffer) ____________________________________________ Graduate School Representative (William J. Doan) ABSTRACT THE DANCE OF THE COMEDIANS: THE PEOPLE, THE PRESIDENT, AND THE PERFORMANCE OF POLITICAL STANDUP COMEDY IN AMERICA by Peter McClelland Robinson This dissertation argues that the emergent performance of political standup comedy became a significant agent for mediating and complicating the relationship between the American people and the American presidency, particularly during the middle half of the twentieth century. The Dance of the Comedians examines standup comedy—particularly its ramifications for the presidency and Americans’ perceptions of that institution—as a uniquely compelling form of cultural performance. Part ceremonial ritual and part playful improvisation, the performance of political comedy in its diverse forms became a potent site of liminality that empowered all of its constituents—the comic, the audience, and the object of the joke—to reexamine and renegotiate the roles of all concerned. It is this tripartite bond of reciprocal

  • Mapplethorpe: Assault with a Deadly Camera — Take 16: White Art, Black Men Manuscript TAKE 16 © Jackfritscher.Com WHITE ART, BLACK MEN RACISM IS ESSENTIALLY SEX
    How To Quote This Material ©Jack Fritscher www.JackFritscher.com Mapplethorpe: Assault with a Deadly Camera — Take 16: White Art, Black Men Manuscript TAKE 16 © JackFritscher.com WHITE ART, BLACK MEN RACISM IS ESSENTIALLY SEX Race fascinated Robert Mapplethorpe as much as sex and more than gender. The only self-portrait that even the shocking Mapplethorpe could never exhibit was himself made up in black face. In 1979, Robert sat bolt upright, startled erotically, by William Friedkin’s searing screenplay, Cruising, which captured precisely the dangers and excitement of leathersex in the New York nightlife that was Robert’s milieu. Thirty minutes into the controversial film, star Al Pacino resists—because he is an undercover cop—interrogation by cops who do not know his identity. Suddenly, a door opens. A huge black man strides tall into the room. He is built like a linebacker. He wears only cowboy boots, cowboy hat, and a white jockstrap. He backhands Pacino, sending him flying across the room. Wordlessly, he exits. “What the shit was that?” Pacino asks. Robert knew Epiphany! Friedkin shocked him to a new crystalline vision: the erotic power of the black male. Illuminated by that seminal moment, Robert dared confront his curiosity about masculinity and about race. Earlier, in 1976, Robert told Boyd MacDonald in the premier underground erotic magazine The Manhattan Review of Unnatural Acts, also called Straight to Hell, that his favorite movie was Mandingo. Based on Kyle Onstott’s Falconhurst series, the movie presented blacks as serious sex objects of white desire. This was a fresh spin on the pop stereotype of black men as sexual predators hunting white women.
