Parker Doctor of Philosophy Department of English September 2017 Title: The Making of a Princess: The Role of Ritual in Creating Community and Identity in the Society for Creative Anachronism Every weekend in the Society for Creative Anachronism, people from the far reaches of the globe leave behind the structures of their everyday lives, dress themselves in clothing from the Middle Ages, and construct medieval personae. Within a pastiche of fantastical and historical influences, participants create the “Middle Ages as they should have been,” a liminal space where they experience a temporary communitas. Through their participation in informal rituals and formal ceremonies, they celebrate each other’s successes and create a community—a utopia—in which courtesy and honor are the shared core values. In addition, through their performances, people access their creative potential and explore issues of identity. When the weekend is over, the participants return to their modern lives, and—for many—a residue of their temporary creative adaptation persists and contributes to a transformation of their person. Using my insight as a participant observer, this dissertation focuses on some of the elements that contribute to the process of community creation and personal transformation. iv CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Deborah L.

In addition, special thanks are due to Aletta Biersack who opened my mind to the value of the counter- cultural roots of the SCA and shepherded me through the dissertation process when my adviser was out of the country. I would also like to thank those who gave me direction when I lost my course: Sharon Sherman, Lara Bovilsky, Dan Wojcik, John Baumann and Dianne Dugaw. Thanks also go to my dissertation-writing cohort for their valuable input and positive feedback, especially Rose who turned my quantitative data into graphs that helped me better understand. Finally, this investigation would not have been possible without the support and participation of my friends in the Society for Creative Anachronism, but especially Sir William Geoffrey the Rogue for sharing his wealth of knowledge, the queens and princesses who shared their experiences and thoughts, and Duchess Mary Grace of Gatland, Dame Johanna Trewpeny, Lady Sigriðr in Ráðspaka, and Lord Brandubh de Santini who gave freely of their time for interviews. vii For my mother and father who started me down the path to the dream and for my husband and children who accompanied me there. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

THE STORY OF THREE WOMEN I walked down the hall and thought, ‘Oh my God, it has to be me. It has to be my story.’ And that is how Deborah Parker came to tell her personal story of sexual assault to the world. A long-time activist in the fight to protect Native women, Parker had just visited the office of Sen. Patty Murray where she had been told that the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2012 (known as VAWA), which was on the Senate floor, would probably fail because it “lacked a face.” ‘Something in me just dropped.

  • Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly
    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

  • 1 October 19, 2020 to the Ceos of Major Global Asset Managers
    October 19, 2020 To the CEOs of major global asset managers, banks, and insurers: We, the undersigned group of Indigenous women and organizations, call on your institutions to stop financing, investing in, and insuring the expansion of tar sands oil extraction, transport, and refining, and commit to phasing out support for tar sands oil. These measures should encompass both projects and the companies that build and operate such projects. The tar sands sector poses grave threats to Indigenous rights, cultural survival, local waterways and environments, the global climate, and public health. Furthermore, this year saw a significant set of losses in the oil and petroleum sector, and no subsector has had a worse financial prognosis than tar sands oil. The destructiveness of tar sands has been well-documented, and the sector’s growth has been inhibited by legal challenges, financial uncertainty, and grassroots resistance. Though governments and corporations are still calling for the expansion of the tar sands, current tar sands production is restricted by a pipeline bottleneck, which means that the future of increased tar sands extraction depends on three pipelines. With fossil fuel corporations plowing ahead with pipeline construction in the midst of a global pandemic and massive financial meltdown, we urge your institutions to immediately decline any support for TC Energy’s Keystone XL pipeline, Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline, and the Canadian government’s Trans Mountain pipeline – and to cut ties with these tar sands projects and companies. At this moment, tar sands extraction and construction poses major risks to the health of communities and workers due to COVID-19 transmission.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 29, 2015 10:30 a.m. By NADINE ARAGON/RED NATION MEDIA LOS ANGELES, CA - CALL TO ACTION: Stereotypes harm Native women, who have the highest rates of rape and murder in the country, address Adam Sandler's satirical Western film "The Ridiculous Six" (R6). Native Women in Film & Television (NWFILMTV) has formed a Board of Trustees to help the film industry address situations like R6. When a group of American Indian actors walked off the set of an Adam Sandler movie last week, Native Women in Film & Television decided it's time for a Call to Action! At this point it's not about who walked off the set and who stayed-it's about the script and the effect it will have on our Indigenous people, Native youth and Native women. Award-winning director, producer, actress and festival founder, Joanelle Romero (Apache/Cheyenne Nations/Sephardic Jew), founder of Native Women in Film & Television, formed the group to address situations regarding these kinds of issues within the film industry. Romero's mother Rita Rogers (Apache actress) costarred in "The Magnificent Seven Ride", the last of four features from the saga "The Magnificent Seven". Adam Sandler's "The Ridiculous Six" is a satire based on "The Magnificent Seven". "Adam Sandler's R6 movie depicting a Native American woman urinating while smoking a peace pipe is 'unholy,' it's like if we were to make a film and place the Torah on the ground and pee on it" stated Romero, "It's an act of 'desecration," as I am a sun dancer and the Chanupa is a sacred pipe that we pray with, it's a sacred way of life for our people".

    THE TOOL BELT A Masculine Jewellery Practice Tobias Okamoto Alm Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design Jewellery + Corpus Master, Essay Spring 2014 Tutor: Christina Zetterlund ABSTRACT This essay is built upon the argument that the tool belt is a piece of jewellery and it investigates where and how the tool belt affects social dynamics in society. It explores the intersections between equipment, accessory, and adornment; where practical and social functionality coexist in a symbiosis. The text adopts a critical gender perspective on jewellery and masculinity; it examines the strategies employed in masculine environments in order to be able to wear jewellery without the risk of feminization. It describes a process of myth creation, surrounding an idealised masculinity built upon rationality and resourcefulness, glorifying the professional construction worker. Acknowledging the tool belt as a piece of jewellery diversifies and enriches the jewellery field. It also expands the perspective on jewellery and masculinity, while opening up for further investigation of the relationship between adornment and gender dynamics. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................................................................................................ 1 JEWELLERY IN SOCIETY .................................................................................................................................................................................
