In the end I managed tained a photo of him; a stout and kind-faced man with a full to scrape through with good marks, though my beard, long hair and glasses. I took a moment to really look at teachers could feel my aversion to reading up on him and I was caught in a powerful emotion as I realized that we are recording tomorrow’s history the same way that he and current events, taking clippings of articles and numerous others did for us. I could see the faces of the next political cartoons and interpreting their signifi - generation staring at our photos in exactly the same way we cance, and heaven forbid using the library to do were staring at Mr. Young’s, and I felt humbled by this rare historical research!

A few months ago Steve stumbled across mention of a “Gay Calgary” magazine that existed back in the early 70’s, of which the Glenbow Museum had several copies archived! Our reader’s survey helped to ascertain that there was signifi cant interest in an article about Calgary’s Gay History, and so this issue features Stephen Lock’s pilot article on this topic on page XXX. Naturally we still had our own curiosities to satisfy, so we spent an afternoon in the Glenbow archives looking through as many of the early gay publications that we could get our hands on. Though I didn’t have much time to fully read any of the articles, it blew my mind to see ads for businesses that no longer exist – bars like the Green Room, Moosie’s, Trax, BBX, The King’s Arms, the fi rst incarnation of the Backlot; even bathhouses like Jays and David’s. I saw an ad for an event that occurred in the Green Room on the night of my 3rd birth- day, the grand opening of Victoria’s Restaurant and Beswick House, program guides for Coronation III, hand-drawn maps of the gay bars in downtown Calgary, and notes on what to do if you were caught in a bar during a Police raid. I saw a lot of headlines that involved serious misgivings with the police, far beyond anything that we’ve seen recently. Though it was only 30 years ago, it was a different time with different hot-button issues. For us, we naturally paid closer attention to the array of gay publications that existed during the period, such as The Lavender Times, Reach, Clue, Broach, and Gay Horizons (successor to Gay Calgary). We were blown away to see that the downtown map, business listing, and events listing (ideas we ourselves had hashed out and placed in GayCalgary.com Magazine since day one) were commonplace in many of these older magazines. Call it re-inventing the wheel, but we felt oddly proud that our own magazine goes down a similar path gaycalgary.com magazine #31, May 2006 5 We would like to extend our gratitude to the Glenbow Mu- Homos are Sexual seum for being so helpful, supportive, and downright enthusi- astic about our new historical articles.

  • Representations and Receptions of Genders and Sexualities in Showtime’S the L Word
    GRAAT issue # 2 – June 2007 Queerer Than Thou: Representations and Receptions of Genders and Sexualities in Showtime’s The L Word Kimberly Campanello Florida Gulf Coast University I love the fact that Ilene does what she wants and doesn’t bother giving in to critics’ demands etc., whether the fan kind or otherwise. I think this is what has propelled the series to its successful status and has made it acceptable for it to deal with issues that most other series can’t or don’t get away with. Bittersweet on OurChart.com Do I think every character is representative of every lesbian that I know? Probably not, then most lesbians that I know work everyday, want a nice place to live, want a decent partner and just do about the same things that every heterosexual person does. This is a TV show. It's a soap opera, albeit a classy one. I, for one, will continue to watch, subscribe to Showtime, and post measured commentary on the site. Filmlover on OurChart.com I. Contexts I would like to provide some context for this paper on The L Word from recent news stories which directly relate to American culture’s continuing struggle with normative views of gender and sexuality. In February of 2007, Largo, Florida, city manager Steve Stanton, a 17-year veteran in his job was fired by a city council vote after coming out as a transgendered person. Sexual orientation and gender identity and expression are not protected from employment discrimination at the national level or in the state of Florida.

  • Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice Across Decades
    Home > Vol 21, No 5 (2018) > Ford Rebooting Roseanne: Feminist Voice across Decades Jessica Ford In recent years, the US television landscape has been flooded with reboots, remakes, and revivals of “classic” nineties television series, such as Full/er House (1987-1995, 2016- present), Will & Grace (1998-2006, 2017-present), Roseanne (1988-1977, 2018), and Charmed (1998-2006, 2018-present). The term “reboot” is often used as a catchall for different kinds of revivals and remakes. “Remakes” are derivations or reimaginings of known properties with new characters, cast, and stories (Loock; Lavigne). “Revivals” bring back an existing property in the form of a continuation with the same cast and/or setting. “Revivals” and “remakes” both seek to capitalise on nostalgia for a specific notion of the past and access the (presumed) existing audience of the earlier series (Mittell; Rebecca Williams; Johnson). Reboots operate around two key pleasures. First, there is the pleasure of revisiting and/or reimagining characters that are “known” to audiences. Whether continuations or remakes, reboots are invested in the audience’s desire to see familiar characters. Second, there is the desire to “fix” and/or recuperate an earlier series. Some reboots, such as the Charmed remake attempt to recuperate the whiteness of the original series, whereas others such as Gilmore Girls: A Life in the Year (2017) set out to fix the ending of the original series by giving audiences a new “official” conclusion. The Roseanne reboot is invested in both these pleasures. It reunites the original cast for a short-lived, but impactful nine-episode tenth season.

For years, Sonia Warshawski (92) has been an inspirational public speaker at schools and prisons, where her stories of surviving the Holocaust as a teenager have inspired countless people who once felt their own traumas would leave them broken forever. But when Sonia is served an eviction notice for her iconic tailor shop, she's confronted with an agonizing decision: either open up a new shop or retire. Ironically, Sonia's shop is the last open business in an otherwise desolate Kansas City mall, but it contains enough color and liveliness to make up for the entire empty complex. For a woman who admits she stays busy "to keep the dark parts away," facing retirement dredges up fears she'd long forgot she had, and her horrific past resurfaces. BIG SONIA explores what it means to be a survivor and how intergenerational trauma affects families and generations. *Winner of Best Documentary at the Cleveland International Film Festival and at the Napa Valley Film Festival.* -Above description taken from Kanopy’s film summary.

  • Enacting Cultural Citizenship Through Charged Humor
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ‘WORKING THE CROWD’: ENACTING CULTURAL CITIZENSHIP THROUGH CHARGED HUMOR Rebecca A. Krefting, Ph.D., 2010 Directed By: Associate Professor Mary Corbin Sies, Department of American Studies Like many cultural practices, comic performance is one of a host of weapons in the arsenal of tactics, strategies, and offensive maneuverings available to individuals and communities seeking to redress inequitable distributions of wealth, power, rights, and cultural visibility. This dissertation examines contemporary jesters opting to use humor to develop community, instruct and mobilize audience members, and lobby for political and cultural inclusion. It is a kind of humor that illumines one’s position in a specific socio-political, historical matrix; it is humor that creates community and conversely demonstrates the ways in which one does not belong. An examination of the economy—the production, exchange, and consumption—of this humor reveals how and why comics produce charged humor or humor that illumines one’s status as second-class citizen and how this kind of humor is consumed in the US. I employ a mixed-methods qualitative approach using ethnography, archival research, and critical discourse analysis to investigate comic performances: stand-up comedy, sketch comedy, and one-woman shows. Throughout, I draw from dozens of contemporary comics performing in the US, but take as case studies: Robin Tyler, a Jewish lesbian comic and activist who is currently spearheading the marriage equality movement in California; Micia Mosely, a Brooklyn-based, Black, queer woman whose one-woman show, Where My Girls At?: A Comedic Look at Black Lesbians, is touring the country; and a group of young people (eighteen and under) participating in Comedy Academy programs (a non-profit arts education organization in Maryland), allowing them to author and perform sketch comedy.
