"A TALENT FOR THE DISAGREEABLE": ELIZABETH STODDARD'S PERVERSITY

4:00 pm, 355 Kinsey Hall. Thursday, October 11, 2001

Elizabeth Stoddard (1823-1902) once warned a young literary friend that she (Stoddard) was hard to get along with because she was incapable of polite dissimulation and driven to tell unpleasant truths. "I have not many good qualities of disposition . . . My father said once he never saw any human being with such a talent for the disagreeable." Being disagreeable-and writing disagreeably- was indeed Stoddard's great talent. But what passed for disagreeable writing in mid-nineteenth-century America is uncommonly revealing for us today. For Stoddard carefully violated the rules for proper womanly fiction in order to write frankly and experimentally about female passion, incestuous desire, masochistic fantasy, intergenerational sex, childhood cross-dressing, maternal fury, sibling hatred, erotic jealousy, and a variety of other perversities. What is most striking, however, is that she wrote about what we call heterosexuality as if it were just another among many alarming perversities-not the boring norm it would become but an exciting and dangerous new phenomenon in the world of bodies and desires. This lecture will focus on her novel The Morgesons (1862) and her children's book Lolly Dinks's Doings (1874).

MOLLY McGARRY - "Ghosts of Futures Past"

MOLLY MCGARRY
Assistant Professor of History, UC Riverside

"GHOSTS OF FUTURES PAST: SPECTRAL SEXUALITIES IN 19th- CENTURY AMERICA"

This talk conjures the uncanny, spectral sexualities that haunt our queer past. Tracking a 19th-century history of apparitional manifestations from the spirit world, Professor McGarry explores the ways in which these subjects are and are not legible given current theorization of same- sex/queer/trans history in all its entanglements. In seances and through trance speaking, male mediums channeled female spirits, and female Spiritualists reembodied themselves as men. How can we theorize and historicize these subjects? Other scholars have unearthed a nineteenth- century queer past by digging into the records of courts and prisons to find sodomites, delved into diaries and letters for traces of lost relationships and the communities built around them, and turned to the case r1ecords of sexologists to find the invert, the pervert, and the deviant. In this vein, this talk explores how Spiritualism may have been a marker for an incipient, not yet materialized sexuality, a sexual dissidence outside the medico-juridical matrix, but also beyond the expected spaces of subculture.

Cosponsored by the Center for the Study of Women

This talk is free & open to the public.

Lisa Duggan talk - THE NEW HOMONORMATIVTY - this Thursday

Andrew Sullivan and his cohort of "mainstream" gay writers (collected on the website of the Independent Gay Forum) do not constitute simply a single issue, assimilationist lobby at the conservative end of the spectrum of lgbt/q politics. These writers provide sexual equality rhetoric for the antiegalitarian, undemocratic project of neoliberalism. They are collectively producing a New Homonormativity that is seriously at odds with any and all progressive political agendas. This lecture examines the gender, economic, racial and nationalist arguments and antics of this cohort of influential writers.

This Thursday (Jan 10) 4pm in Kinsey 355 Free and open to the public.

JENNIFER BRODY - Bodies, Boundaries & Frames

JENNIFER BRODY, Associate Professor of English & African American Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago

BODIES,BOUNDARIES & FRAMES: "Queer" Readings in New Times

This lecture draws from Brody's current work-in-progress, The Style of Elements: Politically Performing Punctuation. She will discuss the ways in which different graphic/performance artists represent or "style" elements of punctuation such as the "dot." More specifically, the lecture will focus on selected texts by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, produced during her decade- long sojourn in 1960's New York. The lecture seeks to connect disparate artists (literary as well as visual) who work with concepts related to sexuality and punctuation.

JOSE MUNOZ - QUEER POTENTIALITIES

JOSE MUNOZ Associate Professor, Performance Studies, New York University Author of Disidentifications: Queers of Color and the Performance of Politics (1999)

QUEER POTENTIALITIES: WARHOL, O'HARA & FUTURITY

Thursday, February 28, 2002 4:00 pm, 355 Kinsey Hall

This lecture examines the reception of the New York School of poetry and the Pop Art movement and argues that both movements' reception have been "degayed" and pitted against each other in a "good gay" v.s. "bad gay" binary. Focusing on Andy Warhol and Frank O'Hara as representatives of both movements, Muñoz identifies a queer utopian impulse in the work of both cultural workers. The writings of Frankfurt school scholar Ernst Bloch informs Muñoz's critical methodology and helps describe a notion of queer futurity that characterizes this work.

ALICIA ARRIZON - Queering Mestizaje 3/7/02

ALICIA ARRIZON Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies and Women's Studies, University of California, Riverside

QUEERING MESTIZAJE

Thursday, March 7, 2002 4:00 pm, 355 Kinsey Hall

In this presentation, Arrizón examines the queer female body in the staging of mestizaje as a form of transculturation. The significance of this approach lies in its ability to reinscribe the simulacrum of bodies and acts that raise questions of cultural hybridization, generating new political initiatives of the queer racialized body. In this engagement, Arrizón proposes to examine how the queering of mestizaje itself can be both described by the tropes for cross-cultural contact-the hybrid, the intercultural body, and by lesbian desire.

Cosponsored by the Center for the Study of Women

This event is free and open to the public. Parking at UCLA is $6/day.

Performing (Trans)Gender

NIKO BESNIER

Visiting Professor of Anthropology, UCLA; Professor, Anthropology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.

"PERFORMING (TRANS)GENDER: Beauty Pageants in Tonga, Western Polynesia"

The Miss Galaxy beauty pageant held annually in Nuku'alofa, the capital of Tonga, is, at first glance, a show of transgendered glamour, but it is equally a display of trans- locality. Through the performance of an exotic otherness, the socially marginalized contestants claim to define the local, in ways that may oppose the received order, in which the difference between locality and non-locality is controlled by the privileged. The juxtaposition of gender transformation and trans-locality in the same event reinforces their stereotypical linking, and imports globalized fantasies into local politics of marginality and legitimacy.
