I am writing this article from my hospital bed, where I hope I will be able to tolerate a new medication that will stabilize my heart. In mid-June, I became a stroke expert, having had a brainstem stroke (a pontine infarction, for those readers who are neurogenic communication disorders specialists). I have been dealing with the consequent effects of severe right hemiparesis, which is much better now, mild ataxic dysarthria and mild dysphagia. The two degrees I earned from Brooklyn College have helped me prepare for my current health challenge. At a time when speech therapists worked mostly as sound correctors (we were not trained to be SLPs until the late 1970s), having mentors such as Boyd Sheets, who specialized in aphasia, and Oliver Bloodstein, who specialized and my calculus TA couldn’t solve the problems in stuttering, inspired my future work and have that my professor assigned.

  • No Business Like Schmo Business: Reality TV and the Fetishistic
    Žižek and Cinema - Vol 1.3. No Business Like Schmo Business: Reality TV and Fetishistic Inversion Jennifer Friedlander – Pomona College, Claremont, California, United States Since Laura Mulvey (1975) posed the pivotal question of whether female spectators could avoid the patriarchal temptations prompted by the realist conventions of mainstream cinema, feminist film theorists have remained pessimistic about the potential for realist modes of representation to challenge cultural norms. For Mulvey, the gaze required by mainstream cinema is male. Under the male gaze, woman becomes the object of “fetishistic scopophilia,” enabling the spectator to take pleasure from both viewing the woman’s body and identifying with the male protagonist, all the while shielding himself from castration anxiety. In this view, the female spectator is sentenced to either give up the pleasure of viewing or take up one of two equally unsavory viewing positions: narcissism (through identifying too closely with the desired woman on- 1 screen) or masochism (through taking on the masculine desire for the female sexual object). Although the problem of female spectatorship is an old one, it has continued to endure. The roots of its tenacity grow from its commitment to: 1) an adherence to a model of ideology based primarily upon resistance; and 2) a model of the gaze based upon mastery rather than uncertainty. In this account, I seek to shift the terrain away from these assumptions and call, instead, for a view of a potentially subversive female spectatorship position that foregrounds the limitations of traditional ideology-critique, and locates the gaze in the place we cannot see.
