  • Trade, Wolves, and the Boundaries of Normal Manhood
    TRADE, WOLVES, AND THE BOUNDARIES OF NORMAL MANHOOD THE MOST S'TRIKIN6 DIFFERENeE BETWEEN 'fHE ·DOMINANT SEXUAL ~UL'IURE of the early twentieth century and that of our own era is the degree to which the earlier culture permitted men to engage in sexual relations with other men, often on a regular basis, without requiring them to regard themselves-or to be regarded by others-as gay. If sexual abnormality was defined in different terms in prewar culture, tben so, too, necessarily, was s~X~~! ~9~~Jjtr.. rh~~~m!~Jity 91 th~fairy ro the popular r~pr~~~n- ration of sexual abnormality allowed other men to engage in casual sex- ual relations with other men, with boys, and, above all, with tbe fairies themselves without imagining that they themselves were abnormal. Many men alternated between male and female sexual partners without believ- ing that interest in one precluded interest in the other, or that their occa- sional recourse to male sexual partners, in particular, indicated an abnor- . mal, "homosexual," or even "bisexual" disposition, for they neither understood nor organized their sexual practices along a hetero-homosex- ual axis. This sexual ideology, far more than the other erotic systems with which it coexisted, predominated in working-class culture. It had panic- ular efficacy in organizing the sexual practices of men in the social milieu in wnic;:hit mignr !;>~ !~~$f~xP~~~~9:!P ,~~ hi~ly aggr~siv~ and quinres- senrially "masculine" subculture of young and usually unmarried sailors, common laborers, hoboes, and other transient workers, who were a ubiquitous presence in early-twcnticth-cenrury American cities.

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/hp_theses/579 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Throwing Open the Door: Preserving Philadelphia's Gay Bathhouses Abstract In 2014 the National Park Service called for increased preservation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender places in the United States, thereby legitimizing LGBT history on a national level. This thesis is an extension of that appeal and undertakes a study of the preservation of gay bathhouses in an urban landscape. More specifically, it investigates the geographic and architectural significance of gay bathhouses between the early twentieth century and present day. Using the City of Philadelphia as a case study, the thesis explains the cultural and political trends that created the geography and history of the Philadelphia bathhouses. Utilizing quantitative and qualitative data, archival research, and an original survey, the thesis concludes that bathhouses are important to the landscape of gay neighborhoods and that their architecture highlights invaluable narratives of gay life in American history.

  • Playing Hippies and Indians: Acts of Cultural Colonization in the Theatre of the American Counterculture
    PLAYING HIPPIES AND INDIANS: ACTS OF CULTURAL COLONIZATION IN THE THEATRE OF THE AMERICAN COUNTERCULTURE Miriam Hahn A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2014 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Sheri Wells-Jensen, Graduate Faculty Representative Eileen Cherry-Chandler Scott Magelssen © 2014 Miriam Hahn All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor In this dissertation, I examine the appropriation of Native American cultures and histories in the theatre of the American counterculture of the 1960s and seventies, using the Living Theatre’s Paradise Now, the street theatricals and broadsides of the San Francisco Diggers, and James Rado and Gerome Ragni’s Hair: The American Tribal- Love Rock Musical as my primary case studies. Defining themselves by points of difference from mainstream America and its traditional social and cultural values, counterculturalists often attempted to align themselves with Native Americans in order to express an imagined sense of shared otherness. Representations of Natives on countercultural stages, however, were frequently steeped in stereotype, and they often depicted Native cultures inaccurately, elided significant tribal differences, and relegated Native identity almost wholly to the past, a practice that was particularly problematic in light of concurrent Native rights movements that were actively engaged in bringing national attention to the contemporary issues and injustices Native Americans faced on a daily basis. In my study, I analyze the impulses that might have led counterculturalists to appropriate Native culture during this period, highlighting some of the ways in which such appropriations played out in Paradise Now and Hair, as well as on the streets of San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district.

  • Archetypical Artificial Lighting Practices in Contemporary Interior Design
    THEORY STUDIES: ARCHETYPICAL ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING PRACTICES IN CONTEMPORARY INTERIOR DESIGN A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Joanne Pui Yuk Kwan February 2010 © 2010 Joanne Pui Yuk Kwan ABSTRACT This thesis focuses on identifying, classifying and naming unnamed artificial lighting archetypes in contemporary, professionally designed interiors that are derived from reiterative historical designs. The study is a component of the Intypes (Interior Archetypes) Research and Teaching Project established in 1997 at Cornell University. An Intype is an ideal example of a historical determined practice of design from which similar models are derived, emulated or reiterated. In the 20th century lighting design became a field and an area of specialization in interior design, architecture and engineering. Lighting is a subject of many books and design literature often alludes to its importance. Many of the studies focus on the phenomenon of light itself, including issues related to perception and technical requirements. Although there are some case studies of individual projects, there is little scholarship about lighting for contract interior design. Accounts of the history of interior spaces primarily focus on lighting fixtures or light sources. This study is one of the few of its kind; it creates a typology of the professional design and architectural practices of artificial lighting in interior spaces. The study identifies and documents lighting solutions that have been reiterated through time and contributes to a vocabulary for teaching and comparative analysis. This research offers practice-based research which may encourage design criticism and discourse in both academia and professional practice.
