  • Representations and Receptions of Genders and Sexualities in Showtime’S the L Word
    GRAAT issue # 2 – June 2007 Queerer Than Thou: Representations and Receptions of Genders and Sexualities in Showtime’s The L Word Kimberly Campanello Florida Gulf Coast University I love the fact that Ilene does what she wants and doesn’t bother giving in to critics’ demands etc., whether the fan kind or otherwise. I think this is what has propelled the series to its successful status and has made it acceptable for it to deal with issues that most other series can’t or don’t get away with. Bittersweet on OurChart.com Do I think every character is representative of every lesbian that I know? Probably not, then most lesbians that I know work everyday, want a nice place to live, want a decent partner and just do about the same things that every heterosexual person does. This is a TV show. It's a soap opera, albeit a classy one. I, for one, will continue to watch, subscribe to Showtime, and post measured commentary on the site. Filmlover on OurChart.com I. Contexts I would like to provide some context for this paper on The L Word from recent news stories which directly relate to American culture’s continuing struggle with normative views of gender and sexuality. In February of 2007, Largo, Florida, city manager Steve Stanton, a 17-year veteran in his job was fired by a city council vote after coming out as a transgendered person. Sexual orientation and gender identity and expression are not protected from employment discrimination at the national level or in the state of Florida.

For years, Sonia Warshawski (92) has been an inspirational public speaker at schools and prisons, where her stories of surviving the Holocaust as a teenager have inspired countless people who once felt their own traumas would leave them broken forever. But when Sonia is served an eviction notice for her iconic tailor shop, she's confronted with an agonizing decision: either open up a new shop or retire. Ironically, Sonia's shop is the last open business in an otherwise desolate Kansas City mall, but it contains enough color and liveliness to make up for the entire empty complex. For a woman who admits she stays busy "to keep the dark parts away," facing retirement dredges up fears she'd long forgot she had, and her horrific past resurfaces. BIG SONIA explores what it means to be a survivor and how intergenerational trauma affects families and generations. *Winner of Best Documentary at the Cleveland International Film Festival and at the Napa Valley Film Festival.* -Above description taken from Kanopy’s film summary.

  • Enacting Cultural Citizenship Through Charged Humor
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ‘WORKING THE CROWD’: ENACTING CULTURAL CITIZENSHIP THROUGH CHARGED HUMOR Rebecca A. Krefting, Ph.D., 2010 Directed By: Associate Professor Mary Corbin Sies, Department of American Studies Like many cultural practices, comic performance is one of a host of weapons in the arsenal of tactics, strategies, and offensive maneuverings available to individuals and communities seeking to redress inequitable distributions of wealth, power, rights, and cultural visibility. This dissertation examines contemporary jesters opting to use humor to develop community, instruct and mobilize audience members, and lobby for political and cultural inclusion. It is a kind of humor that illumines one’s position in a specific socio-political, historical matrix; it is humor that creates community and conversely demonstrates the ways in which one does not belong. An examination of the economy—the production, exchange, and consumption—of this humor reveals how and why comics produce charged humor or humor that illumines one’s status as second-class citizen and how this kind of humor is consumed in the US. I employ a mixed-methods qualitative approach using ethnography, archival research, and critical discourse analysis to investigate comic performances: stand-up comedy, sketch comedy, and one-woman shows. Throughout, I draw from dozens of contemporary comics performing in the US, but take as case studies: Robin Tyler, a Jewish lesbian comic and activist who is currently spearheading the marriage equality movement in California; Micia Mosely, a Brooklyn-based, Black, queer woman whose one-woman show, Where My Girls At?: A Comedic Look at Black Lesbians, is touring the country; and a group of young people (eighteen and under) participating in Comedy Academy programs (a non-profit arts education organization in Maryland), allowing them to author and perform sketch comedy.
