    Kate Bornstein: A Transgender Transsexual Postm odern Tiresias From Shannon Bell Gender School "Sex is fucking, everything else is gender" Kate told us on the first day of gender school: a four part, sixteen hour Cross-Gendered Perform ance Workshop which was part of Buddies in Bad Tim es Theatre sum m er school program . Kate is a Buddhist M-to-F transsexual perform ance artist and gender educator. Kate has been both m ale and fem ale and now is not one nor the other, but both-and-neither, as indicated in the title of her play The Opposite Sex...is Neither! The Cross-Gender W orkshop aim ed at deconstructing gender: shedding gender, trying on a new gender; getting to zero point and then construct ing a new gender. The first section of the workshop dealt with gender theory and learning how to build gender cues: physical cues - body, posture, hair, clothing, voice, skin, m ovem ent, space, weight; behavioral cues - m anners, decorum , protocol, deportm ent; textual cues - stories, histories, associates, relationships; power dynam ics - top, bottom , entitlem ent/ not; and sexual orientation (to whom am I attracted). This w as preparation for constructing a character which we would work on perform ing for the following three sessions. At the final class we did a one hour Zen walk across the theatre stage. For the first half-hour of the walk we shed all our acquired gender characteristics; for t he second half we took on our character's gender traits. The only constraint on selecting a character was that it be som e version of the opposite gender.

And many Montanans like the idea of a major independent or third party candidate in the 1996 presidential race, according to the latest Montana Poll. For this edition of the Montana Poll, 411 adult Montanans were polled statewide September 21-26. The poll is conducted by The University of Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research. Choosing from a crowded field of 11 Republican presidential candidates at the time of the poll, Montanans overall endorsed Bob Dole most often (28 percent), with 34 percent undecided, said Susan Selig Wallwork, director of the Montana Poll.

    wag (n): 1. ‘Any one ludicrously mischievous; a merry droll’; a habitual joker. 2. A web-based literary magazine (from portmanteau of “web mag” or “web magazine”). revue (n): 1. An elaborate musical show consisting of numerous unrelated scenes; also, the genre of such entertainments. Times of London 4 Apr 1899: “a specimen of this class of piece has to be called a revue and announced as an ‘entirely new form’. ” Issue 1 Spring 2009 FROM THE EDITORS Image courtesy of Julia McKinley http://jtmckinleyphoto.blogspot.com/ MANIFESTO Think of the internet as a literal place, a newly-conquered frontier. It’s a familiar comparison: the pioneering switch-circuit supernerds of ARPANET; the trailblazing explorers of Usenet and Mosaic; the waves of immigrants, establishing Geocities, getting to know their AOL postman by his ubiquitous catchphrase. Now Google’s twelve- lane freeways roar across the Web, Facebook and YouTube are visible from space. Unfortunately, as with most frontiers, the development of the Web has brought with it the swift and ruthless execution of native populations. The old empires of printed media are undergoing a greater crisis than ever before, one from which they will never fully recover. They have succumbed to the pox of internet expansion. These wrongs must be redressed, not by retrenching ourselves in � the printed medium, but by salvaging what its best citizens stood for. We cannot mistake the decline of the printed form for the death of quality writing and content. The need for literature and letters to be reliably and intelligently disseminated exists now as it always has.

Patterson Department of History, UC San Diego Office: Humanities and Social Science Building, Room 4084 Mail Code 0104 Phone: (858) 534-1999 MMW Program: (858) 534-4935 E-mail: [email protected] Course web site: webct.ucsd.edu use your UCSD ID and password to log in Office hours: Wednesdays, 11:00-1:00, in HSS 4084, and by appointment Aims and Scope of the Course: Europe at the beginning of the 21st century finds itself mired in controversies over whether Muslims and the faith they follow can successfully be integrated into a European society that is, to the extent that it is religious at all, predominantly Christian, at least nominally. Questions also arise over the compatibility between the largely secularized European social order and the traditions of Islamic law and politics. But substantial Muslim populations have, in fact, made their home in European countries for many years already: for decades in many parts of Western Europe, and for centuries in other places such as Russia and the Balkan territories of Kosova, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Turkey's desire to gain admission to the EU raises the prospect of a large, predominantly Muslim state -- albeit one with its own distinctive historical relationship to Islam -- becoming a new part of "Europe." And in addition to these more recent concerns, many more Muslims once lived in other parts of Europe before being compelled to leave, as happened notably in Iberia after the Reconquista and in Greece in 1922.

  • New Queer Cinema, a 25-Film Series Commemorating the 20Th Anniversary of the Watershed Year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16
    BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a 25-film series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the watershed year for New Queer Cinema, Oct 9 & 11—16 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Brooklyn, NY/Sep 14, 2012—From Tuesday, October 9 through Tuesday, October 16, BAMcinématek presents Born in Flames: New Queer Cinema, a series commemorating the 20th anniversary of the term ―New Queer Cinema‖ and coinciding with LGBT History Month. A loosely defined subset of the independent film zeitgeist of the early 1990s, New Queer Cinema saw a number of openly gay artists break out with films that vented anger over homophobic policies of the Reagan and Thatcher governments and the grim realities of the AIDS epidemic with aesthetically and politically radical images of gay life. This primer of new queer classics includes more than two dozen LGBT-themed features and short films, including important early works by directors Todd Haynes, Gus Van Sant, and Gregg Araki, and experimental filmmakers Peggy Ahwesh, Luther Price, and Isaac Julien. New Queer Cinema was first named and defined 20 years ago in a brief but influential article in Sight & Sound by critic B. Ruby Rich, who noted a confluence of gay-oriented films among the most acclaimed entries in the Sundance, Toronto, and New Directors/New Films festivals of 1991 and 1992. Rich called it ―Homo Pomo,‖ a self-aware style defined by ―appropriation and pastiche, irony, as well as a reworking of history with social constructionism very much in mind . irreverent, energetic, alternately minimalist and excessive.‖ The most prominent of the films Rich catalogued were Tom Kalin’s Leopold and Loeb story Swoon (the subject of a 20th anniversary BAMcinématek tribute on September 13) and Haynes’ Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Poison (1991—Oct 12), an unpolished but complex triptych of unrelated, stylistically diverse, Jean Genet-inspired stories.
