Davis This longitudinal and empirical study of the field of marriage politics prioritizes discourse in understanding the influence of hegemony on movement framing. I do so by evaluating how a specific construct – the hegemonic marriage ethic – contours framing decisions of three social movements: the traditional marriage movement (TMM), the Marriage Movement (MM), and the marriage equality movement (MEM). My research combines feminist discourse analysis and corpus linguistics methods to evaluate four corpora – The Washington Post headlines (1985-2007), interviews with leaders of 19 social movement organizations (SMOs), extensive movement organization documents, and a reference corpus constructed from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) spanning the years 1990-2012 (Davies 2008-). Three main theoretical tenets guide my research: 1) feminist and queer critiques of marriage identify hetero-patriarchal foundations of the hegemonic marriage ethic; 2) the theory of cultural hegemony highlights the importance of a discursive focus; and 3) social movement framing theory provides scope conditions for assessing how shifts or changes in hegemonic constructions become relevant for framing decision-making. My research theorizes negotiation as a tool for movements to discursively engage hegemony. The concept of negotiation counters often over-simplified depictions of social movements’ mindless hegemonic acceptance or rejection. In this empirical marriage case, the dialogic nature of framing necessitates interdiscursive framing strategies for dealing with the problem or promise of hegemony. I also argue that better understanding of how movements negotiate the hegemonic marriage ethic reveals significant implications for issues of sexual citizenship.

Davis M.S., University of Rochester, 2000 Advisor: Beth Reingold Ph.D., University of California at Berkeley A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the James T. Laney School of Graduate Studies of Emory University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies 2013 HEGEMONIC NEGOTIATION IN CONTEMPORARY MARRIAGE POLITICS 6 Acknowledgments I worked on this dissertation for the greater part of my married life. While the result of my labor serves as a critique of the public manifestations of marriage, I must still come to the conclusion that committed love-based partnerships truly do provide each of us lucky enough to fall into such an arrangement with a high degree of support, sustenance, and stability. My husband, Michael Davis, deserves all the praise that I can bestow for the role he played in making sure I got this dissertation done. If marriage were to go away tomorrow, I still would plan to walk through the rest of my life with him. The last year of my writing and research has been challenging, first, for the obvious reasons associated with the home stretch of a dissertation. But also, second, because in my case I fulfilled the old adage, “First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage.” I am so blessed to have my precocious and brilliant daughter, Emmeline Lucy, in my life. Because writing meant reluctant time away from her, she deserves acknowledgement for being my number one motivator. I also have great thanks for my family – Jerry and Linda Cockrell, Paula Davis, Evelyn Button, and Fannie Hutton – for not only cheering me on from the sidelines, but also for awesomely interacting with Emme on a regular basis so that I could have focused time to think. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing support network. I would also like to thank the members of the Emory University community who helped me along this journey, including my advisor, Beth Reingold, and my committee members – Holloway Sparks, Martha Fineman, and Regina Werum. Department cohort members Alyssa Levy and Erin Tunney were always particularly quick to commiserate, and I will always cherish their friendships. Finally, my Emory University experience will always be positively painted with the spirit of the lovely Berky Abreu, whose guidance was gracious and very much appreciated.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 395 338 CS 509 239 AUTHOR Drushel, Bruce E. TITLE If You Take the King's Shilling, You Do the King's Bidding: Funding and Censorship of Public Television Programs. PUB DATE Nov 95 NOTE 21p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (81st, San Antonio, TX, November 18-24, 1995). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Information Analyses (070) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Censorship; Conservatism; *Financial Support; *Government Role; Higher Education; Homosexuality; Legislators; Mass Media; *Moral Issues; *Programming (Broadcast); *Public Television IDENTIFIERS Congress; *Controversial Topics; First Amendment; Religious Right ABSTRACT Public broadcasting in the United States frequently draws criticism from conservatives who accuse it of pursuing an agenda promoting environmentalism, gay rights, affirmative action, reproductive choice, and other liberal causes, and of being hostile to conservative interests such as defense, the pro-life effort, and the promotion of Christian values. To date, concerns over censorship in public television have focused, not on overt efforts by Congress to determine the bounds of acceptable programs, but on not-so-subtle pressure at both the national and the local level to self-censor or risk loss of funding. Several recent cases of controversial programs have led to calls for ties between funding of the public television system and program content--programs such as "Tongues Untied," "Portrait of a Marriage," and "Tales of the City." Assessing the constitutionality of possible future efforts by Congress to place content-related conditions on the funding of,public television seems to require that 3 areas of law be analyzed: (1) the current statutory framework in which the public television system operates;(2) the recent case law in the area of the First Amendment and public broadcasting; and (3) relevant overarching judicial principles.

INTRODUCTION "Throughout history, families and religious groups have recognized their influence over the lives of their members and have used this influ- ence to maintain unity and adherence to a given set of values."' Vocal activists have for generations waged wars against works of literature and 2 art that they have found offensive to their religious or moral beliefs. They have attempted to exert their influence over society as a whole and to impose their values over all others. These activists believed that they were providing an invaluable service to society. From the time of the colonization of the United States through the 1950's, moral activists had the weapon of choice on their side: the strong-arm censorship powers of the law and the courts.

  • Nan Goldin and Andres Serrano's Post-Mortem Photography
    Visible Care: Nan Goldin and Andres Serrano’s Post-mortem Photography Lauren Jane Summersgill Humanities and Cultural Studies Birkbeck, University of London Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2014 2 Declaration I certify that this thesis is the result of my own investigations and, except for quotations, all of which have been clearly identified, was written entirely by me. Lauren J. Summersgill October 2014 3 Abstract This thesis investigates artistic post-mortem photography in the context of shifting social relationship with death in the 1980s and 1990s. Analyzing Nan Goldin’s Cookie in Her Casket and Andres Serrano’s The Morgue, I argue that artists engaging in post- mortem photography demonstrate care for the deceased. Further, that demonstrable care in photographing the dead responds to a crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s in America. At the time, death returned to social and political discourse with the visibility of AIDS and cancer and the euthanasia debates, spurring on photographic engagement with the corpse. Nan Goldin’s 1989 post-mortem portrait of her friend, Cookie in Her Casket, was first presented within The Cookie Portfolio. The memorial portfolio traced the friendship between Cookie and Goldin over fourteen years. The work relies on a personal narrative, framing the works within a familial gaze. I argue that Goldin creates the sense of family to encourage empathy in the viewer for Cookie’s loss. Further, Goldin’s generic and beautified post-mortem image of Cookie is a way of offering Cookie respect and dignity in death. Andres Serrano’s 1992 The Morgue is a series of large-scale cropped, and detailed photographs capturing indiscriminate bodies from within an unidentified morgue.

Colby* This Article approaches the originalism debate from a new angle— through the lens of the recently defeated Federal Marriage Amendment. There was profound and very public disagreement about the meaning of the FMA—in particular about the effect that it would have had on civil unions. The inescapable conclusion is that there was no original public meaning of the FMA with respect to the civil unions question. This suggests that often the problem with originalism is not just that the original public meaning of centuries-old provisions of the Constitution is hard to find (especially by judges untrained in history). The problem is frequently much more funda- mental, and much more fatal; it is that there was no original public mean- ing to begin with.

  • The Rev. Donald E. Wildmon's Crusade for Censorship, 1977-1989
    The Rev. Donald E. wildmon's Crusade for Censorship, 1977-1989 By Christopher M. Finan "What we are up against is not dirty words and 4irty pictures. It is a phi.losophy of life which seeks to remove the influence of Christians and Christianity from our society. Pornography is not the disease, but merely a visible symptom. It springs from a moral cancer in our society, and it will lead us to destruction if we are unable to stop it." ---The Rev. Donald E. Wildman The Rev. Donald E. Wildmon has always claimed to be an "average guy." When he first came to the attention of the public, he was the leader of a boycott against advertisers who sponsored "sex, violence and profanity" on television. Wildmon insisted that he was not a censor but an outraged private citizen who was exercising his constitutional right to protest. But, Wildmon is not an average citizen. His ambition is to remake American society. Nor is he content with the instruments of change provided by democratic institutions: he advocates the censorship of television, movies, books, and magazines. During his 12-year campaign for censorship, he has tried to suppress: * Television series like "charlie's Angels," "Three's Company," "All in the Family," "Laverne and Shirley," "Love, Sidney," "Taxi, II "WKRP in Cincinnati, II "Hill Street Blues," "Moonlighting," "L.A. Law," "thirtysomethinq;" * Television dramas like "Roe v. Wade," Pete Hamillis "Flesh and Blood," Maya Angelouls "Sister, Sister" and "Portrait of a Rebel: Margaret Sanger;1I * Movies like liThe Last Temptation of Christi" * Magazines like Playboy, Penthouse and Sassy.

  • Sen. Sessions Belatedly Supplements His Senate Judiciary Questionnaire— but Dozens of Items Still Missing and Records for Two Decades Still Largely Absent
    Sen. Sessions Belatedly Supplements His Senate Judiciary Questionnaire— But Dozens of Items Still Missing and Records for Two Decades Still Largely Absent On Friday night, December 23—two weeks after Senator Sessions submitted his Senate Judiciary Questionnaire (SJQ) for his nomination to be Attorney General—he submitted a supplement with hundreds of new entries. This supplement confirms our initial report, on December 14, which demonstrated that his SJQ was “shockingly incomplete.” Indeed, many of his additional entries are based on the findings in our report. However, Senator Sessions’ SJQ remains astonishingly deficient, with two decades of his career still largely missing and dozens of more recent items still omitted—including an interview just last month. Especially as Senator Sessions continues to refuse to take the confirmation process seriously, Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley’s double standard in scheduling this hearing is all the more appalling. As Judiciary Committee Chair, Senator Chuck Grassley has scheduled consideration of two Attorney General nominations: Loretta Lynch Jeff Sessions Questionnaire submitted: Dec. 1, 2014 Dec. 9, 2016 Grassley schedules hearing: Jan. 16, 2015 (46 days later) Dec. 9, 2016 (same day) Grassley holds hearings: Jan. 28-29, 2015 (58 days later) Jan. 10-11, 2017 (32 days later) The Senate had confirmed Lynch twice, including just five years before her nomination to become Attorney General. The Senate’s last consideration of Senator Sessions as a nominee was to reject him, 30 years ago. If anything, the timeline to consider Senator Sessions’ nomination should be twice as long—not half as long—as it was for Lynch’s nomination.
