Gay male culture features “circuit parties,” involving dancing and sometimes costuming, and with the help from chemical stimulants, these can go on for days. —Barbara Ehrenreich, Dancing in the Streets (258) 6ublic attitudes toward Gay men in the United States and Canada have improved immensely in the last few years. Some books in recent popular literature highlight the positive impact Gay men have made on society. How the Homosexuals Saved Civilization by Cathy Crimmins (New York: Jeremy P. Tarcher, 2004) and The Soul Beneath the Skin by David Nimmons (published in 2002) single out Gay male culture as making ethically and aesthetically important contributions to human­ ity. Nimmons goes so far as to praise the huge dance events for Gay men and their allies called the Circuit (156–68), as does Barbara Ehrenreich in her popular book on festive culture, Dancing in the Streets (New York: Metropolitan Books, 2006). These books are often dismissed as clever readings in pop culture rather than scholarly works. Nevertheless, Crimmons, Nimmons, and Ehrenreich have reached hundreds of thousands of readers, many more than the typical academician could ever engage, and they do it by writ­ ing in an entertaining and accessible fashion. I hope to reach a fraction of that larger audience who might never buy a scholarly text such as The Fierce Tribe for fear it would bore them. The Fierce Tribe is an ethnography based on information gathered from members of the Circuit community and my own lived experience as a U.S. Marine, a participant­observer studying African Brazilian religion, a scholar versed in multiple academic disciplines, a Circuiteer, +$M1(+),"1$*+6$>&($1"#$2(.1$1")(1=R#),"1$=#+(.$&>$*=$4)>#9$+60$+$_+=$*+6$ for the last twelve years. This text is also teleological: it advocates for the Circuit, an outlaw community, by portraying it as a positive model for performance of nonviolent masculinity.

The Circuit community may appear undisciplined to outsiders, and in many ways it is. It does not, however, lack discipline in preparation and performance. There are many forms of personal and social discipline (grooming, weightlifting, diet, self­control, presenting a public face, verbal virtuosity, strong taboos against physical violence, knowledge of intoxicants and individual tolerances) that are part of the Circuit’s askesis. But they may be practiced in ways that contradict the norms and laws of the larger Gay community and the general public.

Music and movement developed for the Circuit are deeply rooted in both African American and military cultures. The spirituality that is generated at Circuit parties resembles ecstatic expressions of the Black church and traditional African religion, as well as the profound solidar­ ity that men in uniform share as they march.

Finally, I would like to thank the support and contributions of my peers in the Economic and Social History Senior Thesis class. 4 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the impact of city policy changes and the processes of gentrification on 1980s nightlife subculture in New York City. What are important to this work are the contributions and influence of nightlife subculture to greater New York City history through fashion, music, and art. I intend to prove that, in combination with the city’s gradual revanchism of neighborhood properties, the self-destructive nature of this after-hours sector has led to its own demise.

    Speech Stereotypes of Female Sexuality by Auburn Lupine Barron-Lutzross A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Keith Johnson, Co-Chair Professor Susan Lin, Co-Chair Professor Justin Davidson Professor Mel Chen Spring 2018 © Copyright 2018 Auburn Lupine Barron-Lutzross All rights reserved Abstract Speech Stereotypes of Female Sexuality by Auburn Lupine Barron-Lutzross Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor Keith Johnson, Co-Chair Professor Susan Lin, Co-Chair At its core, my dissertation addresses one primary question: What does it mean to sound like a lesbian? On the surface, this may seem a relatively simple question, but my work takes a broad perspective, approaching this single question from a multitude of perspectives. To do so I carried out a combination of experiments, interpreting the results through the Attention Weighted Schema Abstraction model that I developed. Following the introduction Chapter 2 lays out the AWSA model in the context of previous literature on stereotype conception and speech and sexuality. Chapter 3 presents the production experiment, which recorded speakers reading a series of single words and sentences and interviews discussing stereotypes of sexuality. Phonetic analysis showed that though speech did not vary categorically by sexual orientation, familiarity with Queer culture played a significant role in variation of speech rate and mean pitch. This pattern was only seen for straight and bisexual speakers, suggesting that lesbian stereotypes are used to present an affinity with Queer culture, which was further supported by the decrease or loss of their significance in interview speech.

Brooklyn, NY/May 24, 2013—BAMcinématek announces the full schedule for the fifth annual BAMcinemaFest (Jun 19—28) including special events, an added film to the main slate, guests, and shorts programs. On Tuesday, June 25, BAMcinemaFest presents the New York premiere of Peaches Does Herself, starring the cult synth-punk musician and performance artist, on the Steinberg Screen at the BAM Harvey Theater. Known for her audaciously foul-mouthed lyrics and gender-bending persona (as well as high-profile collaborations with everyone from Iggy Pop to Christina Aguilera), the Canadian electroclash star directs herself in this no-holds-barred rock opera, which tells the loosely autobiographical tale of her rise to stardom and romance that ends in heartbreak. This filmed version of her epic stage performance in Berlin bursts with nudity, pink underwear, and shocking cameos by stripper Sandy Kane and transsexual porn star Dannii Daniels, bringing Peaches’ unique brand of post-feminist, shock-rock cabaret to shameless cinematic life.
