Miss Homegrown: the Performance of Food, Festival, and Femininity in Local Queen Pageants
MISS HOMEGROWN: THE PERFORMANCE OF FOOD, FESTIVAL, AND FEMININITY IN LOCAL QUEEN PAGEANTS Heather A.Williams 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 2009 Committee: Dr. Ronald Shields, Advisor Dr. Lynda Dee Dixon Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Jonathan Chambers Dr. Lesa Lockford ii ABSTRACT Dr. Ronald Shields, Advisor The cultural phenomenon of the beauty pageant, one could argue, is deeply embedded in the gendered performance of the feminine ideal. Although, in recent years, the Miss America Pageant appears to be fading into kitschy nostalgia, the local pageant remains a celebratory and respected event held in many small Midwestern communities. The appeal of the pageant as a performance genre continues to reflect the qualities of the American feminine ideal – beauty, perfection, “healthy” competition, consumption, and consumerism. However, local pageants are often rooted within festival celebration and thereby represent and maintain the social and consumer values inherent in each individual community. Using case studies of local festival pageants held in the Midwestern state of Ohio as well as interviews with pageant contestants, in this study I locate the ways in which contestants perform, within the given boundaries of the pageant, a small town version of the feminine ideal. In relation to the values of economy and prosperity that local festival celebrates, I specifically examine festivals that are centered on the celebration of food. In doing so, I equate the gendered performance of the young female body in relation to the food whose title she bears and identify how the feminine body is at once consumed and celebrated by the local community. -

Briceño © 2012 Mia E. Briceño Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2012 The dissertation of Mia E. Briceño was reviewed and approved* by the following: Rosa A. Eberly Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences and English Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Thomas W. Benson Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences and Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of Rhetoric Stephen H. Browne Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Susan M. Squier Julia Gregg Brill Professor of Women’s Studies, English, and STS (Science, Technology, and Society) Kirtley H. Wilson Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Graduate Officer for the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This study explores the tradition of pageantry in the United States, focusing on the pageant as an explicitly gendered cultural practice and the rhetorical relationships between that practice and U.S. citizenship. In spite of its reputation as a feminized, low culture artifact, the pageant is a consistently maintained rhetorical practice that continues to be performed in and among diverse publics. Pageantry is thus implicated in political discourses of model democratic citizenship. I explore pageantry’s symbolic influence in U.S. culture and politics in five case studies. These cases are arranged somewhat chronologically, reflecting a kind of rhetorical history of the pageant in the United States.
