    Tuesday, February 2 Cipriani 42nd Street, NYC In the wake of the devastation brought about by the earthquake that leveled much of Haiti, the Underfashion Club has financially supported the efforts of Doctors Without Borders to provide emergency medical care to the survivors. Additionally, we applaud the efforts of so many other organizations, including K.I.D.S. (Kids In Distressed Situations,) a 25-year-old charity that has mobilized the apparel industry and already raised more than $6 million in products (clothes, socks, underwear and blankets) for the men, women and children of Haiti. Their efforts are ongoing and, in the months to come, as that country rebuilds and the news media departs, there will continue to be a need for a variety of items donated by manufacturers and retailers. If your company is is in a position to make new product donations in aid of this monumental relief effort, kindly consider contacting: 212.279.5493 / 800.266.3314 www.KIDSdonations.org The Underfashion Club, Inc.

  • Trabalho De Conclusão De Curso “Homoafetividade Na TV: Análise Das Séries Queer As Folk, the L Word E Looking”4
    Intercom – Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação XXXVIII Congresso Brasileiro de Ciências da Comunicação – Rio de Janeiro - RJ – 4 a 7/9/2015 Homoafetividade na TV: análise do casal Brian e Justin na série Queer As Folk1 Daniel Silveira da CRUZ2 Fabio Sadao NAKAGAWA3 Universidade Federal da Bahia, Salvador, Bahia Resumo O presente artigo analisa como os relacionamentos homoafetivos são representados em séries de televisão americanas. A pesquisa toma como objeto de análise o casal Brian e Justin de Queer As Folk. Com base em diferentes teóricos, os conceitos homossexualidade, homoerotismo e o termo homoafetividade colaboram para entender as definições acerca da atração por pessoas do mesmo sexo. Além disso, lançamos mãos da literatura sobre televisão, abordando as narrativas seriadas e um breve histórico sobre os personagens gays na TV. Palavras-chave: Queer as Folk; Homoafetividade; Homossexualidade; Séries televisuais Introdução O presente artigo é um recorte da pesquisa para o Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso “Homoafetividade na TV: análise das séries Queer As Folk, The L Word e Looking”4. O estudo foi realizado com as primeiras temporadas das séries citadas a fim de responder a questão: como são representados os casais homoafetivos em séries de TV americanas? Ou seja, de que maneira os afetos entre casais homossexuais são construídos pelas narrativas serializadas americanas? Neste artigo, abordaremos a construção da homoafetividade no casal Brian Kinney e Justin Taylor usando como corpus a primeira temporada de Queer As Folk. A série lançada em 2000 foi exibida originalmente no canal Showtime, nos Estados Unidos e no canal Showcase, no Canadá. Mostra, em cinco temporadas, histórias dos amigos gays Brian Kinney (Gale Harold), Michael Novotony (Hal Sparks), Emmet Honeycutt (Peter Page), Ted Schmidt (Scot Lowell) e Justin Taylor (Randy Harrison).

  • The Edge of Ladyspace: Ladi6 and the Political Limits of Self-Branding
    MEDIANZ ! VOL 15, NO 1 ! 2015 DOI: 10.11157/medianz-vol15iss1id6 - ARTICLE - The Edge of Ladyspace: Ladi6 and the Political Limits of Self-Branding Annalise Friend Abstract Musicians connected through online and offline networks make use of a personal brand to represent themselves and their work. This self-branding must be recognisable, repetitive, and ‘fresh’ if it is to cut through the deluge of contemporary media content. The brands of politically engaged performers—referred to as ‘conscious’ performers—often revolve around political critique, ‘oneness’, and personal and spiritual uplift. These notions are often placed in opposition to the apparent commodification of performers through practices of personal branding. The circulation and consumption of personal brands may not necessarily however, preclude the impact of apparent political critique. This article will explore how the Samoan Aotearoa-New Zealander vocalist Ladi6 plays with the role of ‘lady’ in her brand as a politically engaged strategy. Ladi6 draws on genre resources from conscious hip-hop, soul, reggae, and electronic music. Her assertion of female presence, or creation of a ‘ladyspace’, is both ambiguous and reflexive. While the production of her personal brand—found in videos, lyrics, photos, online presence, merchandise, and live performances—operates according to the logics of global capitalism; the consumption of this brand can provide an alternative ‘conscious’ mode of engagement with the Ladi6 musical commodity. Introduction This article presents Ladi6 (Karoline Tamati) as a case study of a performer who uses the role of being a ‘conscious’ artist as her personal brand. This type of branding implies that her lyrical and musical content is politically critical.
