  • The Disability Drive by Anna Mollow a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfaction of the Requirements for the Degree of Docto
    The Disability Drive by Anna Mollow A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kent Puckett, Chair Professor Celeste G. Langan Professor Melinda Y. Chen Spring 2015 The Disability Drive © Anna Mollow, 2015. 1 Abstract The Disability Drive by Anna Mollow Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California Berkeley Professor Kent Puckett, Chair This dissertation argues that the psychic force that Freud named “the death drive” would more precisely be termed “the disability drive.” Freud‟s concept of the death drive emerged from his efforts to account for feelings, desires, and actions that seemed not to accord with rational self- interest or the desire for pleasure. Positing that human subjectivity was intrinsically divided against itself, Freud suggested that the ego‟s instincts for pleasure and survival were undermined by a competing component of mental life, which he called the death drive. But the death drive does not primarily refer to biological death, and the term has consequently provoked confusion. By distancing Freud‟s theory from physical death and highlighting its imbrication with disability, I revise this important psychoanalytic concept and reveal its utility to disability studies. While Freud envisaged a human subject that is drawn, despite itself, toward something like death, I propose that this “something” can productively be understood as disability. In addition, I contend that our culture‟s repression of the disability drive, and its resultant projection of the drive onto stigmatized minorities, is a root cause of multiple forms of oppression.

  • Marches on Washington by Brett Genny Beemyn
    Marches on Washington by Brett Genny Beemyn Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2004, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights movement in the United States grew tremendously during the last quarter of the twentieth century, a phenomenon perhaps best demonstrated by the success of the first three national marches held in Washington, D. C. Each march was much larger and more diverse than the previous one, as greater numbers of people became open about their sexual and gender identities and created a wide array of glbtq subcommunities. A less flattering trend was reflected in the fourth march: the increasing corporatization of the movement, with grassroots activists having less of a role in setting its goals and priorities. [However, the most recent march may have reversed this trend. Organized primarily by younger activists energized by the passage of Proposition 8, which nullified marriage equality in California, the emphasis of the October 2009 National Equality March was on grassroots activism.] The 1979 March Marking the tenth anniversary of the Stonewall riots and coming in the wake of the lenient jail sentence given to Dan White for the assassination of openly gay San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk, the First National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights on October 14, 1979 was an historic event that drew more than 100,000 people from across the United States and ten other countries. National lesbian and gay groups were initially reluctant to support the 1979 march, fearing that such a public display would not attract many people or, if it did, that it would generate a right-wing backlash similar to Anita Bryant's 1977 "Save Our Children" campaign.

  • Thought-Provoking Programs
    Tulane University Thought-provoking Programs September 10, 2010 10:30 AM Fran Simon [email protected] Tulane University Campus Programming, a student-led organization, has a tradition of providing stimulating discussion and entertainment. This fall, TUCP continues that tradition, kicking off with a Direction series lecture that will focus on the military policy of “don't ask, don't tell.” Students pack McAlister Auditorium for a Direction event organized by student-led TUCP (Tulane University Campus Programming). (Photo by Paula Burch-Celentano) On Wednesday (Sept. 15), Dan Choi, a former lieutenant in the U.S. Army and an Iraq War veteran, will speak at 7 p.m. in Dixon Hall Auditorium on the uptown campus. The lecture is free and open to the public. The issue continues to stir controversy on the national level. A federal court in Riverside, Calif., ruled Thursday (Sept. 9) that the “don't ask, don't tell” policy, which bars gay men and lesbians from serving openly, is unconstitutional. An advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights, Choi was notified of his discharge from the army in July, nearly a year after he publicly announced he was gay on “The Rachel Maddow Show.” TUCP president Matt Simmons says the Direction series attempts to bring to campus “the most engaging figures to provide entertaining and educational events.” In addition to Direction events, TUCP committees plan concerts, comedy events, cinema, recreation and lagniappe (smaller-scale events like bringing an ice cream truck to campus). On Sept. 30, TUCP brings the popular electronic rock duo Ratatat to McAlister Auditorium for a concert at 8 p.m.
