Love in Fragments.Pdf 1 LOVE IN FRAGMENTS: THE SAPPHIC ISSUE © Honeyfire Literary Magazine, 2021 Editor-in-Chief: Lauren Poole Cover photo from Unsplash Cover design by Lauren Poole Content warnings: sex, nudity, brief mentions of discrimination. 2 Letter from the Editor The idea for this issue came from a conversation with a good friend of mine around Christmas. She was telling me about a new queer film that came out in December, a supposedly ‘feel-good’ festive rom-com which just had to involve conservative parents and a girl in the closet, of course. I can’t say much about the film itself; I didn’t watch it, for that exact reason. Any representation that is done right is a very positive thing, and I don’t mean to take away from that in the slightest. But the fact is that stories about queer people are few and far between, and those that do exist in mainstream media almost always seem to focus on the characters’ queerness as their entire plotline, their only defining feature. While it is incredibly important to start conversations about the struggles that queer people face, particularly sapphic women and nb people, it is equally as important that queer people see ourselves represented as people, as unique, whole individuals, not just as vehicles for stories about homophobia. Queer people deserve to see ourselves being happy, and accepted, and normalised. We deserve to see queer characters who aren’t reduced to their identities. We deserve to see queer characters who are as whole and unique and proud and diverse as we are. When I was about 16 – a very tender age in my queer self-acceptance journey – I first watched a TV show called Person of Interest. In it, there is a badass, unique, adorable wlw couple, but what really struck me about them was that they just were. The people around them treated them normally, there was no potentially triggering homophobia or biphobia directed at them, there was no struggle to accept who they were. They were allowed to just be. For me, seeing that was huge, especially since one of them was bi, like me – I felt seen, and it was a turning point for me in my journey to accepting and embracing my sexuality. Like many sapphics, much of Sappho’s body of work was lost; her story, like these often condensed, simplified queer stories in mainstream media, has never been fully told, and has often been erased or discredited. It’s been told in fragments. It’s for that reason that this issue, containing paintings, poetry, prose, photography and collage art, pieces together a mosaic of queer stories without the usual fixation on suffering, discrimination and coming out. It is, I hope, a bigger picture, a portrait of being sapphic as being whole, being bright, being loved, being proud. Being sapphic as being, without apology, without shame, without constant struggle. As always, thank you to all of you who shared your work with me. Thank you for helping me create a space for our stories. We deserve to tell them in more than fragments, to see more than the sharp edges of our identities represented. I hope this issue is a start.

And she smells like lemongrass and sleep, she tastes like apple juice and peach. Oh, you would find her in a Polaroid picture and she means everything to me. Oh (Oh, oh). Oh (Oh). Oh (oh, oh). Oh (Oh). And I’ll be okay admiring from afar ’cause even when she’s next to me we could not be more far apart. And she tastes like birthday cake and storytime and fall, but to her, I taste of nothing at all. And she smells like lemongrass and sleep. She tastes like apple juice and peach. Oh, you would find her in a Polaroid picture and she means everything to me. Yes, she means everything to me.

Gert Buelens requirements for the degree of “Master in de Taal- en letterkunde: Italiaans-Engels” 2016 – 2017 Serediuc 2 Acknowledgements When I first started watching Mad Men it had never occurred to me that one day, I would write my dissertation about the show in order to obtain my master’s degree at the University of Ghent – and yet here we are a few years later. This pop-cultural topic of my choice did not always facilitate my research nor my writing process, but it did to a large extent made me greatly enjoy this entire journey. After experiencing some difficulties in finding a suitable subject matter, it was my supervisor who pointed me in the right direction. Therefore, I would like to express my gratitude to prof. dr. Gert Buelens, who not only helped me define my subject, but who has also put a lot of work in giving me thorough and supportive feedback. Furthermore, I would like to thank my friends and family for their amazing support not only during the realization of this master thesis, but throughout the entire duration of my academic studies.

  • Hendricksonc 2017 Final.Pdf (701.1Kb)
    Chloe Hendrickson Carroll College Honors Thesis May 15, 2017 The “Mad” Woman in Medea and Decolonial Feminist Revisions: An Intersectional Feminist Analysis of Three Plays Abstract: This thesis focuses on Medea, the classical Greek play by Euripides that was first produced in 431 B.C., and its feminist, queer, and decolonial revisions in contemporary global contexts. These revisions include The Hungry Woman: A Mexican Medea by Chicana queer feminist author Cherríe Moraga and Black Medea by Indigenous Australian playwright Wesley Enoch. Common to these primary texts are themes of Medea’s madness and anger, which are tied to the fraught questions of home, nation, and the Other. Each section of this thesis focuses on a different play, analyzing the intersectional feminist politics of Medea’s madness across varying sociopolitical and historical contexts. While all the individual sections of this thesis develop a nuanced argument specific to the sociopolitical context of the play, the guiding theme throughout the thesis is that readers must interpret Medea’s madness through an intersectional feminist lens. Each section situates the play within its specific historical and geographical context and interprets Medea’s madness within that context. Ultimately, this thesis argues that the function of Medea’s madness is determined by her marginal, exiled locations as a woman and an ethnic Other within the domestic space and the nation-space. Reading the source text and the revisions through an intersectional feminist framework allows the reader to see how Medea must navigate “home” as a gendered, racialized, and/or nationalist space, as well as a discursive construct.
