  • Actor Jesse Metcalfe Is Engaged to Cara Santana
    ‘Desperate Housewives’ Actor Jesse Metcalfe Is Engaged to Cara Santana Desperate Housewives actor Jesse Metcalfe is finally engaged to his longtime girlfriend Cara Santana. A source confirmed the news of the engagement to UsMagazine.com, and said that the two “have been dating for four to five years and living together for at least three.” Metcalfe previously dated model Courtney Robertson, who is now taking another shot at love on Ben Flajnik’s season of The Bachelor. How do you know when you’re ready to stop dating and tie the knot? Cupid’s Advice: No relationship is the same, and getting married happens to every couple differently. Cupid has some tips to help you know when it’s your turn to walk down the aisle: 1. Confident: When both you and your partner have enough confidence and faith in your relationship, that’s when you can consider tying the knot. 2. Time: Don’t rush into a marriage, because you may end up like Kim Kardashian, and you’ll realize you didn’t know what you were getting yourself into. Take time to work out the kinks and get to know each other inside and out before taking that next step. 3. Committed: When you and your partner have completely committed your lives to supporting each other through the good and bad times, then it’s time to move forward. You know that you could never feel the way you feel about your partner with anyone else, then you’re ready to make them yours forever. How did you know you were ready to take the next step?

  • Obscene Gestures: Sexual Transgression and Late Twentieth-Century American Political Culture
    Obscene Gestures: Sexual Transgression and Late Twentieth-Century American Political Culture Patrick Scott Lawrence, PhD University of Connecticut, 2016 Tracing a cultural history from the 1970s to the 1990s, Obscene Gestures places popular and legal notions of obscenity in conversation with anti-consumerist and anti-capitalist resistance movements, women of color feminism, and LGBTQ activism. Since the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Miller v. California, obscenity discourse has policed the shape of the nation by marking non-normative bodies as objectionable. The dissertation’s study of the cultural artifacts this discourse concerns opens by situating the history of literary obscenity alongside the key theories of sexuality, power, race, and knowledge. The first body chapter links the Miller ruling with 1970s-era neoconservative policies by considering some of the decade’s major novels, including Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow (1973), revealing a home- front cultural politics that stymied dissent by classing as out of bounds many forms of political speech, including Huynh Cong Ut’s 1972 photo The Terror of War. Chapter Two builds upon the polarization this moment caused via an analysis of the feminist battles over pornography in the early 1980s. I juxtapose figures on both sides of this debate with works by women of color, such as Alice Walker’s The Color Purple (1983), that address the histories of embodiment that this debate tended to obscure. The occlusion of race in organizing around pornography parallels the role of possessive individualism in justifying racial wealth disparities during the Reagan administration, which the third chapter highlights. Working in the shadow of the 1986 Meese Commission report, this chapter interprets neoliberal economic policies as an enactment of racial indifference through the metaphors of sex and violence in The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987) and American Psycho (1990).
