    Fugitive Life: Race, Gender, and the Rise of the Neoliberal-Carceral State A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Stephen Dillon IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Regina Kunzel, Co-adviser Roderick Ferguson, Co-adviser May 2013 © Stephen Dillon, 2013 Acknowledgements Like so many of life’s joys, struggles, and accomplishments, this project would not have been possible without a vast community of friends, colleagues, mentors, and family. Before beginning the dissertation, I heard tales of its brutality, its crushing weight, and its endlessness. I heard stories of dropouts, madness, uncontrollable rage, and deep sadness. I heard rumors of people who lost time, love, and their curiosity. I was prepared to work 80 hours a week and to forget how to sleep. I was prepared to lose myself as so many said would happen. The support, love, and encouragement of those around me means I look back on writing this project with excitement, nostalgia, and appreciation. I am deeply humbled by the time, energy, and creativity that so many people loaned me. I hope one ounce of that collective passion shows on these pages. Without those listed here, and so many others, the stories I heard might have become more than gossip in the hallway or rumors over drinks. I will be forever indebted to Rod Ferguson’s simple yet life-altering advice: “write for one hour a day.” Adhering to this rule meant that writing became a part of me like never before.

  • Anti-Spam Methods
    INTRODUCTION Spamming is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi- legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender. There are two main types of spam, and they have different effects on Internet users. Cancellable Usenet spam is a single message sent to 20 or more Usenet newsgroups. (Through long experience, Usenet users have found that any message posted to so many newsgroups is often not relevant to most or all of them.) Usenet spam is aimed at "lurkers", people who read newsgroups but rarely or never post and give their address away. Usenet spam robs users of the utility of the newsgroups by overwhelming them with a barrage of advertising or other irrelevant posts. Furthermore, Usenet spam subverts the ability of system administrators and owners to manage the topics they accept on their systems. Email spam targets individual users with direct mail messages. Email spam lists are often created by scanning Usenet postings, stealing Internet mailing lists, or searching the Web for addresses. Email spams typically cost users money out-of-pocket to receive. Many people - anyone with measured phone service - read or receive their mail while the meter is running, so to speak. Spam costs them additional money. On top of that, it costs money for ISPs and online services to transmit spam, and these costs are transmitted directly to subscribers.

  • Welcome to Salt Lake City, Utah Fellow Naccsistas! This Is Not the First
    Welcome to Salt Lake City, Utah fellow NACCSistas! This is not the first time NACCS comes to Utah, yet it may seem out of the way from the usual NACCS sites such as Texas, California, New Mexico or Illinois. As I thought about the theme of our conference, I reflected on my perceptions of why a place that is unfamiliar to me. Feeling uncomfortable made me question the very idea of my discomfort. Many of us tend to perceive our sense of familiar place within specific and historical geographical regions for Chicana and Chicano communities. If we stop to think for just a moment, we realize that although a concentration of Chicana and Chicano communities exist in the historical geographical regions of the Southwest, our communities as our people have expanded out for labor and to establish homes and raise families throughout the United States and in places such as Salt Lake City, Utah. It may be an obvious observation, but the fact is that many of us exist and think within a specific boundaries. Let’s ponder that for a quick moment. The conference theme, “Fragmented Landscapes in Chicana and Chicano Studies: Deliberation, Innovation, or Extinction?” comes from this very position of dislocation and invention. As we look out in the Chicana and Chicano Landscape, fragments of our communities exist in more and lesser-developed forms. We are not exactly regionally bound, we have morphed throughout the United States building communities and making our presence known. However, we are constantly being challenged, and we are constantly confronting and meeting those challenges whether they come from external or internal sources, from institutional forms of traditional limitations or from the creation of new survival strategies.

  • The Immigrant and Asian American Politics of Visibility
    ANXIETIES OF THE FICTIVE: THE IMMIGRANT AND ASIAN AMERICAN POLITICS OF VISIBILITY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY SOYOUNG SONJIA HYON IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY RODERICK A. FERGUSON JOSEPHINE D. LEE ADVISERS JUNE 2011 © Soyoung Sonjia Hyon 2011 All Rights Reserved i Acknowledgements There are many collaborators to this dissertation. These are only some of them. My co-advisers Roderick Ferguson and Josephine Lee mentored me into intellectual maturity. Rod provided the narrative arc that structures this dissertation a long time ago and alleviated my anxieties of disciplinarity. He encouraged me to think of scholarship as an enjoyable practice and livelihood. Jo nudged me to focus on the things that made me curious and were fun. Her unflappable spirit was nourishing and provided a path to the finishing line. Karen Ho’s graduate seminar taught me a new language and framework to think through discourses of power that was foundational to my project. Her incisive insights always push my thinking to new grounds. The legends around Jigna Desai’s generosity and productive feedback proved true, and I am lucky to have her on my committee. The administrative staff and faculty in American Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of Minnesota have always been very patient and good to me. I recognize their efforts to tame unruly and manic graduate students like myself. I especially thank Melanie Steinman for her administrative prowess and generous spirit. Funding from the American Studies Department and the Leonard Memorial Film Fellowship supported this dissertation.

  • Or Toward a Black Femme-Inist Criticism
    Trans-Scripts 2 (2012) “Everything I know about being femme I learned from Sula” or Toward a Black Femme-inist Criticism Sydney Fonteyn Lewis* I came to Femme as defiance through a big booty that declined to be tucked under, bountiful breasts that refused to hide, insolent hair that can kink, and curl, and bead up, and lay straight all in one day, through my golden skin, against her caramel skin, against her chocolate skin, against her creamy skin. Through rainbows of sweaters, dresses, and shoes. Through my insubordinate body, defying subordination, incapable of assimilation, and tired, so tired of degradation. Through flesh and curves, and chafed thighs which learned from my grandma how Johnson’s Baby Powder can cure the chub rub. Through Toni Morrison, and Nella Larsen, and Audre Lorde, and Jewelle Gomez who, perhaps unwittingly, captured volumes of black femme lessons in their words. Through Billie Holiday who wore white gardenias while battling her inner darkness. Through my gay boyfriend who hummed show tunes and knew all the lyrics to “Baby Got Back,” which he sang to me with genuine admiration. Through shedding shame instead of shedding pounds, and learning that growing comfortable in my skin means finding comfort in her brownness. -Sydney Lewis, “I came to Femme through Fat and Black” My paper opens with an excerpt of a piece that I submitted to a fat positive anthology. In my piece, I articulate the genesis of my queer black femme- ininity through my identities as a black and fat body. My femme development is shaped by the intersections of those identities as much as those identities shape my expression of femme.

  • The Invisible (And Hypervisible) Lesbian of Color in Theory, Publishing, and Media
    Missing Bridges: The Invisible (and Hypervisible) Lesbian of Color in Theory, Publishing, and Media A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Renee Ann DeLong IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Maria Damon May 2013 Renee Ann DeLong copyright 2013 i I am indebted to the professors on my committee who helped guide me to the end of this journey: Dr. Omise'eke Tinsley, Dr. Patrick Bruch, Dr. Josephine Lee, and Dr. Roderick Ferguson. Rod read drafts generously, gave benedictions freely, and created the space for me to work within queer of color studies. He always reminded me that I was asking the right questions and welcomed me as a colleague. My adviser Dr. Maria Damon reserved many Friday mornings to talk me through the next steps of this project over double espressos. Her honesty helped me rethink my role as a scholar and educator as I began to plan the next phase of my career. Julie Enzer published a section of chapter two in Sinister Wisdom volume 82 as the article "Piecing Together Azalea: A Magazine for Third-World Lesbians 1977-1983." I am grateful for her early feedback and the permission to reprint the article within this dissertation. Taiyon Coleman was my sister in the struggle. Laura Bachinski kept me loved, grounded, humble, and laughing throughout the whole process. Thank you all. ii To Laura--my whole world. iii Abstract “Missing Bridges: The Invisible (and Hypervisible) Lesbian of Color in Theory, Publishing, and Media” While moving from theory, through the Women in Print Movement, and up to the current images of lesbians this dissertation considers how the figure of the lesbian of color has been erased and highlighted at different times and in different spaces.
