Performing IR A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences University of Denver In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy by Charles Darwin LuLevitt August 2020 Adviser: Dr. Bernadette Calafell, Ph.D. ©Copyright by Charles LuLevitt 2020 All Rights Reserved Author: Charles LuLevitt Title: Performing IR Advisor: Dr. Bernadette Calafell, Ph.D. Degree Date: August 2020 ABSTRACT This research is an attempt to create a new way of understanding international relations, which is defined here as knowledge and practice that informs us of the nature, goals, and actors of international politics. At the core of the research is a simple concern, but one I am still rather unsure I have thought of enough: what does it mean to create a different discourse? The argument made is that international relations as we know it, is a discourse centered on state, sovereignty, and anarchy, and also white, hegemonic masculine culture, which forces us to maintain that culture’s social dominance. Unfortunately, this cultural knowledge leads to a world of fear, wars, and deaths. The dissertation instead proposes that we instead work toward creating new international relations theories centered on our own personal experiences and on critical cultural theories. Accomplishing this requires us to reject the epistemology, genealogy, and theories of international relations. By doing this, we may be able to imagine a different international relations–open to diversity, accepting of differences, compassionate for marginalized and oppressed people. Imagining a new international relations theory relies on the methodology of written performative autoethnography to draw on the researcher’s personal experiences. The dissertation makes a connection between the researcher’s identity as an Asian American male, international relations, and white, hegemonic masculinity. Through this ii connection, the researcher shows that by rethinking his identity performance, it is possible to subvert and reject international relations as we know it, and white, hegemonic masculinity, and create a new way to think about how we should relate to our world. The dissertation concludes that we can create our own theories of international relations by interrogating our own identity performances. When we are able to reimagine what our own identity means and to form new connections to marginalized individuals and communities, then we can create new knowledge about our world that creates potentially new international relations. Simply put: if we want to know our world differently, we need to transform our identity into something more ethical, more compassionate, more accepting of difference. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dr. Bernadette Calafell Dr. Bernadette Calafell was an exceptional chair, mentor, and teacher. She guided my research through coursework, feedback, and took me under her wings to help me get published. Dr. Calafell’s teachings and inspiration taught me more than I knew possible and gave me something important to talk about. Dr. Calafell recognized my non- traditional habits and gave unending academic patience and support. Dr. Christina Foust Dr. Christina Foust was a pillar. I would not have completed this project without her determination, her progress checks, and her moral support. At the end, Dr. Foust carried me to the finish line, completing forms and administrative works for me. When I was overwhelmed, she gave me the needed helping hand. Dr. Chandrashekar Dr. Santhosh Chandrashekar graciously came onboard and joined my committee at the very last minute, giving me valuable feedback, critiques, and future direction. Shirley Levitt My mother, Shirley Levitt, was incredibly kind and supportive, helping me tremendously in my most difficult moments in the dissertation process. When I was mentally, physically, and financially broke, she kept me going. For a woman who came to this country without any English or skills, with only the clothes in our suitcases, to have a son complete a Ph.D. is the culmination of a life time of hard labor and sacrifices, for which I am eternally grateful. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One: Seeing the Borders of IR ..………….……….……………………………..1 1.1.

If you are poor, lost, a person of color, or a trans-gender person1, or hungry and scared, just barely getting by one day at a time, then IR was never meant for you. IR is for rich, powerful, intellectual people, for the presidents, ministers, senators, kings, and world leaders, for generals, colonels, and warlords, for diplomats, and for academics. Too often it is a chess game: pawns of soldiers, knights of tanks, bishops of planes, rooks of ships, queens of missiles, kings of nukes. Plane to missiles seven, checkmate. Paid for with the lives of those whom IR was never meant for. This dissertation is an attempt to challenge that way of knowing our world. Instead of a game played by a few, paid for by millions, IR shall be our stories—the stories of all people on earth. It is stories of how we struggle, how we build lives, and how we sacrifice for those we love. It is stories of care and compassion. Too often, IR is an academic sitting in his office, dreaming of abstract concepts dueling with abstract concepts. It shall not be presidents huddled in bunkers with their cabinets planning the next strike while watching approval ratings. It shall not a white scholar in the U.S. who wants to study Arabs, as if any human being can be studied like an animal (I only say Arabs here because this actually happened). No, IR is for you and me to show our 1 I adopt Johnson’s use of trans- to represent non-heteronormative gendering (P. 137) 1 agency. IR is to hear other people’s stories and to communicate dialogically with them (Alcoff; Conquergood). By showing how IR is for us, by engaging it with my own personal experiences, to act it out and feel it with my own body, I hope that this dissertation will encourage readers to consider the ways IR is also for you, and how you can engage it with your experiences and your bodies. A lot of times, scholars write popular academic works for mass consumption, but not really seriously asking readers to consider how their lives can produce social change. Maybe this will be the opposite: a non-popular, more serious academic work that will be mass consumed. I would like for you to think about how your lives can create new knowledges

  • "There Can Be Only One!"
    "There Can Be Only One!" “From the Dawn of time we came, moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering – when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now.” - Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez Welcome to the rules that allow you to play an Immortal character – a man/woman that cannot die – unless they lose their head, that is. Making an Immortal “I am Immortal and I am not alone. For centuries we've waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and a fall of a head will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one.” - Duncan Macleod Template Traits: “Immortal” is an acquired template that can be added to any living creature (referred to hereafter as the base creature). Most Immortals were once humanoids, fey, or monstrous humanoids. An Immortal uses the base creature's stats and abilities except as noted here. Challenge Rating & LA: Same as the base creature +2. Becoming an Immortal Ramirez: “ You cannot die, MacLeod, accept it.” Connor Macleod: “I hate you.” Ramirez: Good. “That is a perfect place to start.” First Death: This is the date the Immortal departs from his mortal self and is reborn into Immortality. First Death can only happen as a violent death. This could come from an accident, combat, or any other form of trauma. If a pre- Immortal dies from old age or disease, (a non-trauma death), then the pre-Immortal, dies a mortal death, and is not reborn as an Immortal.

  • White Rabbit
    Dargelos White Rabbit A Chronicle of the Old Dead Guys Bound in Leather Press Chicago Glen Ellyn Dedicated to the memory of Bill Reynolds Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph. Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you. Paul Simon, Bookends Theme 2 Introduction If you remember the sixties, you weren’t there. For those old enough to remember the Old Dead Guys, the name alone is synonymous with an entire era. For me, at least, they summed up the sixties in a way few other bands could do, and even though they never became as widely known as bands like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, I believe that had they not broken up when they did, they might well have achieved the fame they deserved within a very short time. This is not an “official” biography of the group by any means, though I did have access to a great deal of material that belonged to band members, and much which has been out of circulation for nearly three decades. For that I would like to thank my sources, most of whom prefer to remain anonymous. However, two of them I can thank publicly: Michael Altman was a great help to me in compiling and interpreting this material. He gave me access to unpublished material which has shed a lot of new light on the group and its members; in order to be clear on exactly what it is you’re reading, please see Michael’s note which follows this introduction. Sydney Ember, who has been incredibly kind and supportive of this effort, gave me complete access to his superb collection of ODG memorabilia as well as sharing a great many memories of the group with me.

No one has ever known we were among you... until now.” -Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez In 1985, an Immortal known as Connor MacLeod living in New York, under the guise of an antiques dealer is challenged by another immortal in a parking garage. Some police detectives get involved and history's tale of a man who lived for longer than his time begins to be told. 2024, an alternate dimension, the ozone layer has become depleted. Connor MacLeod. Immortals are aliens from the planet Zeist? Wait, that was taken out of the Director's cut and ignored by subsequent movies? Okay so the only pseudo-canonical event is MacLeod facing a powerful immortal named Katana and killing him and fighting the power to take down an artificial ozone layer since Earth has replenished itself from an Evil Shield Corporation. Good luck Understanding any of this. Back in 1994, an Alternate dimension’s sequel to the first Highlander movie events is a walk down memory lane as Connor MacLeod deals with his retirement from the Game being interrupted by three Immortals, lead by Kane, who, due to being stuck under a heavy rock in a cave after they tried to take an Immortal Japanese sorcerer’s life come after him.

Highlander: The Series is the 1992-1997 series inspired by the popular Highlander film franchise. It stars British actor Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod, the younger kinsman of the movies' Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert), who passes the torch in the pilot episode. The series was a French-Canadian co-production, which resulted in half of it being filmed in the U.S. and Vancouver and the other half in Paris. The exceptions were Season Six and the Spin-Off series (see below), which were filmed entirely in Paris. The central premise was a bit predictable at times: Duncan would encounter an old immortal enemy, or an immortal friend with someone chasing after them, and the episode would end with Duncan battling his opponent and beheading them.
