Thank you to the Oberlin College Anthropology Department, for providing me with the opportunity to pursue this research and for granting me the Jerome Davis Research Award, with which I was able to attend the 2017 American Anthropology Association annual conference in Washington, DC. I would like also to express my humble appreciation to Dr. Hugh Gusterson, Professor of International Affairs and Anthropology at George Washington University, who was generous enough to first lend me his time, his ear, and his advice at that conference, and then agree to act as the examiner for my thesis. I look forward to hearing your insights on my work, which I have no doubt will be cogent, stimulating, and challenging. Thank you to Crystal Biruk, my advisor and friend, whose earnest encouragement, discerning commentary, and inspiring intellect were instrumental to my process.

  • We'll Have a Gay Ol'time: Trangressive Sexulaity and Sexual Taboo In
    We’ll have a gay ol’ time: transgressive sexuality and sexual taboo in adult television animation By Adam de Beer Thesis Presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Film Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and the Centre for Film and Media Studies UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN UniversityFebruary of 2014Cape Town Supervisor: Associate Professor Martin P. Botha The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cape Town. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination at any other university. Adam de Beer February 2014 ii Abstract This thesis develops an understanding of animation as transgression based on the work of Christopher Jenks. The research focuses on adult animation, specifically North American primetime television series, as manifestations of a social need to violate and thereby interrogate aspects of contemporary hetero-normative conformity in terms of identity and representation. A thematic analysis of four animated television series, namely Family Guy, Queer Duck, Drawn Together, and Rick & Steve, focuses on the texts themselves and various metatexts that surround these series. The analysis focuses specifically on expressions and manifestations of gay sexuality and sexual taboos and how these are articulated within the animated diegesis.
