    Borderline Girlhoods: Girl, Interrupted By Susanna Kaysen

    Elizabeth Marshall, an associate professor of education at Simon Fraser University, contends in her article “Borderline Girlhoods: Mental Illness, Adolescence, and Femininity in Girl, Interrupted, that Susanna Kaysen’s popular memoir is an accurate depiction of the characteristics which mark female adolescence. Marshall points out that the adolescent time period for a girl is defined by “historically and culturally bound gendered pedagogies” (118). It has become normal to think of this stage of a female’s life as a weak, broken, and self-destructive time and need help. Susanna Kaysen’s memoir attracts many young female readers who associate with the wounded girl image and are often seen by society as outcasts with…

    Romaine Brooks Research Paper

    When regarding Romaine Brooks, born Beatrice Romaine Goddard, I feel she was born at the wrong time. Even in the 1970’s era, if Brooks was active in this period, she would get a lot of backlash from the LGB (which is was called), transgender and crossdressing was considered as a sick or a mental issue. Even well into the middles 1990’s, it was still called LGB instead of the now LGBT, or now LGBT ”I” (Intersex) However, I found this very interesting, a group called SGL ("same gender loving") is a group of gay male black men who distinguish themselves from what they regard as white-dominated LGBT communities. Here are some great pictures from transgender artists, I feel really support the LGBT communities. I like Im Queer And LoveIt (sorry,…

    Differences Between Malcolm X And Martin Luther King Jr

    Courage, leadership, open-mindedness and hard-working. These qualities describe what it means to be a civil rights activist. A civil rights activist is a hero that dedicates themselves to fighting for equality for groups of people. Without them, there would still be a lot of controversy and inequality in the world. In the eyes of many people, there are no better examples of these types of heroes than Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. They are both civil rights activists, however individually they took different approaches to reach their common goal. In addition, both share some of the same qualities of a civil rights activist however one of them managed to have a more civil approach in reaching his goal. Martin Luther King Jr was a more prominent advocate for the Civil Rights Movement because of his…

    Jody Thacker: A Brief Biography

    This quote reminds me so much of Jody. “Growing up, sports is my outlet, my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people, but through sports, something I was good at, I was able to make friends,” by Curtis Joseph. Jody Lee McKenzie Thacker was born on March 20, 1996, in Alexandria, Louisiana. His parents, Curtis and Cheryl Thacker were very excited to have another child. Their first child Jeremy, who was fourteen years of age, was very happy to have a little brother. Jody and his family have lived in Hicks, Louisiana for a long number of years.

    Stereotypes In True Blood

    With drama-series like The Fosters, Orange Is The New Black, Game of Thrones, Glee, True Blood, The Modern Family, and Sense8, among others, queer characters have begun to slowly gain prominence outside the borders of the stereotypical white gay male. Slowly, representation is being found, and the blanket hiding difficult subjects from sight is carefully being pulled back. In True Blood, gay cook and man of color Lafayette Reynolds confronts a white man when the man declines to eat his burger, claiming it might have aids. In Sense8, Amanita, a queer woman of color, defends her trans girlfriend from the rude remarks made by transphobic friends. Shows like these are providing characters that queer people can relate to on some level, and they are knocking on the ice wall of the heterosexual, cisgender binary. Documentaries like I Am Jazz, I Am Cait, and The T Word showcase lives of transgender individuals and what it is like to be trans, providing both a source of information and a real-life look at what goes on in the world around a transgender…

    Judith Butler in Media Studies

    When reading a biography of Judith Butler, a person would typically see a discussion of a highly intelligent philosopher of feminism, political theory, ethical and moral responsibility or gender studies. Her bibliographies are commonly describes as have a career focused on “research ranging from literary theory, modern philosophical fiction, feminist, gender and sexuality studies, to 19th- and 20th-century European literature and philosophy, Kafka and loss, mourning and war. Her most recent endeavors include an exploration of war as it relates to Jewish- Zionist theory” so her category of theorization is far reaching (Dunn 157). Throughout all of my digging, I was not able to find much information on Butler’s influence in media and communications and yet her most famous work, Gender Trouble, is one we will eventually study in this Media and Society class. I began by delving deep into this particular piece and branched out from there in hopes of grasping why Butler is so widely read in the communications field.…

    The Civil Rights Movement In The 1960's

    The 1960s saw unrest, antiwar dissents, and a social revolution. African American youth challenged taking after triumphs in the courts in regards to social liberties with road dissents driven by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and additionally the NAACP. Dr. King skillfully utilized the media to record examples of ruthlessness against peaceful African American dissidents to pull at the still, small voice of people in general.

    Strange Fruit

    Jazz music has always existed as a voice for black musicians and audiences. The sounds and rhythms are extremely unique and colorful. It certainly changed America in the 1920's with the swing movement and it put jazz on the map. During this time many white people started to be influenced by this infectious music, and started to enjoy it. Many white people also discriminated against blacks and treated them as less than equal. A goal for an artist named Billie Holiday was to make America listen to the cries of a black man, a black man who was just lynched. Jazz music had to be recognized with its roots. Billie Holiday believed Jazz music had to defend the black people. No better way of being heard than through the voice of Holiday. She attempted to fight for black rights through her song “ strange fruit”, a political song that struck a chord for many Americans.…
