  • When the Curtain Closes: Trans Identity on Screen
    Freeman 1 Kaylan Freeman Professor Richards Documentary Cinema December 6, 2019 When the Curtain Closes: Trans Identity on Screen Jennie Livingston’s Paris Is Burning (1991), though a source of much controversy, has persisted as an essential, forever relevant documentary archiving the lives of now iconic figures within the queer Black and Latinx communities. At face value, the film paints an intimate portrait of the lives of poor but talented queer people of color—specifically trans women, gay men, and drag queens—living in New York City. Ostracized from heteronormative society, the subjects of the film forge their own culture in which families, or houses, compete for trophies in competitions, known as balls, based on desirability and dance performances. David France’s The Life and Death of Marsha P. Johnson (2017), a documentary that has also garnered its fair share of controversy, grapples with the harsher realities of those of this experience. In it, Victoria Cruz, a caseworker for the New York City Anti-Violence Project, sets out to reopen the case of trans activist Marsha P. Johnson’s mysterious death. The film is heavily comprised of intimate archival footage of balls, liberation marches, and personal interviews intertwined with present- day footage of Victoria’s investigation. In this paper, I would like to place these two documentaries in conversations with each other to analyze the ways in which they attempt to document the transgender experience. Although the documentary has many scenes capturing the underground community of ballroom culture, I will focus mostly on the segments dedicated to two specific subjects.

  • Title of Dissertation
    SETTING UP CAMP: IDENTIFYING CAMP THROUGH THEME AND STRUCTURE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Michael T. Schuyler January, 2011 Examining Committee Members: Cornelius B. Pratt, Advisory Chair, Strategic Communication John A. Lent, Broadcasting, Telecommunications & Mass Media Paul Swann, Film & Media Arts Roberta Sloan, External Member, Theater i © Copyright 2010 by Michael T. Schuyler All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Camp scholarship remains vague. While academics don’t shy away from writing about this form, most exemplify it more than define it. Some even refuse to define it altogether, arguing that any such attempt causes more problems than it solves. So, I ask the question, can we define camp via its structure, theme and character types? After all, we can do so for most other genres, such as the slasher film, the situation comedy or even the country song; therefore, if camp relies upon identifiable character types and proliferates the same theme repeatedly, then, it exists as a narrative system. In exploring this, I find that, as a narrative system, though, camp doesn’t add to the dominant discursive system. Rather, it exists in opposition to it, for camp disseminates the theme that those outside of heteronormativity and acceptability triumph not in spite of but because of what makes them “different,” “othered” or “marginalized.” Camp takes many forms. So, to demonstrate its reliance upon a certain structure, stock character types and a specific theme, I look at the overlaps between seemingly disperate examples of this phenomenon.

The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote.

This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract When Christine Jorgensen stepped off a plane in New York City from Denmark in 1952, she became one of the first instances of trans celebrity, and her intensely popular story was adapted from an article to a memoir and then a film in 1970. Though not the first trans person recorded in history, Jorgensen's story is crucial in the history of trans representation because her journey embodies the archetypal trans narrative which moves through stages of confusion, discovery, cohesion, and homecoming. This structure was solidified in memoirs of the 1950- 1970s, and grew in popularity alongside the booming film industry in the wake of the Hays Production Code, which finally allowed directors, producers, and writers to depict trans and gender nonconforming characters and their stories on-screen.

  • The Question of Power and Authority in Gender Performance: Judith Butler’S Drag Strategy Charlotte Coles (University of Edinburgh)
    eSharp Issue 9 Gender: Power and Authority The Question of Power and Authority in Gender Performance: Judith Butler’s Drag Strategy Charlotte Coles (University of Edinburgh) Once I went through a border with a drag queen, who was dressed butch to Pass as a man. I was dressed femme to pass as a girl They pulled us over and wanted to see our suitcases. So we switched suitcases. He got my suitcase, with suits and ties and letters to girls. And I got his suitcase with dresses and high heels and poems to boys. They passed us through as normal. (P. Shaw cited in Senelick, 2000, p.490) So I thought I’d carry another woman’s eggs for her. I don’t mean I had a market stall. No, for lesbian couples who couldn’t have children, I had eighteen babies in a period of three years. I was prolific, I had to have me pelvic floor laminated. (L. Savage, 2006) Debates surrounding drag have proved controversial within feminist thought. When drag queens first emerged as proud symbols of the gay liberation movement, many felt a need to distance themselves from what, as they saw it, was a mocking of women. Although drag drew on the transparent performance of gendered imagery to challenge stereotypes of gender and sexuality, those performances were (and continue to be) defined primarily by male mastery of the depiction of highly selective feminine identities that focus on surface aesthetics (hair, clothing, make-up) rather than social narratives of family or reproduction. Consequently, feminist criticism has critiqued drag as the reproduction of a specifically sexualized rendering of feminine identity, which reflects persistent hierarchies of desire and desirability: of men dressing as the male-oriented version of women.

  • Family Time Gone Awry: Vogue Houses and Queer Repro-Generationality at the Intersection(S) of Race and Sexuality
    Mathias Klitgård Family Time Gone Awry: Vogue Houses and Queer Repro-Generationality at the Intersection(s) of Race and Sexuality Desintegración de los tiempos familiares: el voguing y la reproducción generacional queer en la encrucijada entre raza y sexualidad A desnaturalização do tempo da família: casas Vogue e repro-geraciona- lidade queer na interseção de raça e sexualidade Mathias Klitgård Network for Gender Research, University of Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway Received 15 November 2017; accepted 18 June 2018 Available online 4 February 2019 Abstract: The paper at hand interrogates the queer temporal politics of “houses” in the ballroom and voguing scene. Houses constitute the axiomatic unit of this community marked by racial and sexual marginalisation and as such create alternative familial relations between members in response to rejections from the biological family and society in general. Mirroring the traditional family institution, vogue houses not only become a source of protection, care, trust and knowledge; their very structure, I argue, induces a queer repro-generational time. Countering the sequential heteronormative time of lifetime milestones and age-fitting achievements, the queer time of voguing is a temporal disidentification that jumbles around and constructively misappropriates generational and reproductive imperatives. In doing this, the politics of voguing opens the horizon of possible futures: it is a spark of embodied resistance with a queer utopian imaginary.

  • The Dreams of the Oppressed
    THE DREAMS OF THE OPPRESSED Angela Haupt Nursing East Brunswick High School, East Brunswick, NJ [Assignment: Write a four-page paper which responds to the film "Paris Is Burning" (viewed in class) by relating its important themes to "similar or corresponding elements in Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God.) "Nothing can't stop you from wishin'. You can't beat nobody down so low till you can rob 'em of they will" (Hurston 15). This quotation from Zora Neal Hurston's novel, Their Eyes are Watching God, expresses one of the main themes that the novel shares with the film Paris Is Burning. Both the novel, which follows a woman's search for happiness and satisfaction in the 1930's, and the film, which depicts the lifestyle of black, homosexual gangs in New York City in the 1980's, express the clear idea that everyone, no matter how oppressed, has dreams and goals which he or she strives to achieve. The characters in both the novel and the film display similar aspirations and dreams, deal with their prejudices in much the same way, and ultimately use remarkably similar means to attain these goals. Initially, characters in both works express the need to fill a specific void in their lives. In the novel, Janie searches to find the love that she never felt as a child from her grandmother. Janie resents her grandmother, who robbed her of her childhood and dreams by forcing her to marry the rich, yet cruel Logan Killicks. Janie is told that her financial and social security are more important than the love that is her dream.
