Out Of The Blue: Re-Evaluating Electra-Glide In Blue, William Blick
Out Of The Blue: Re-Evaluating Electra-Glide In Blue, William Blick
Publications and Research
The 1970s was a time of moral ambiguity for the cinema. The cult- favorite, Electra Glide in Blue demonstrates the polarization of ideologies in America at the time. In this film, there are several conflicting views of the Vietnam War, "Hippies", drugs, conservatism, communes, and the mistrust of authority that made up a zeitgeist of the time. This short article defines the film as a examination of the ambiguity of the 1970s.
Lost And Found: The Imagined Geographies Of American Studies, Cindi Katz
Lost And Found: The Imagined Geographies Of American Studies, Cindi Katz
Publications and Research
In the days after September 11th, 2001, and continuing until now, the national guard and other military personnel fanned out around New York City. Automatic rifles slung over their camouflaged shoulders, they "guarded" New York City's transportation stations, vital corners and thoroughfares, marquee buildings, and each and every bridge and tunnel entrance. Their comportment was usually cordial and rarely vigilant.

Publications and Research
Judith Butler's Gender Trouble elaborates what may be called a queer subjectivity. Characterized by non-essential, performative identity, her theory has been criticized because, according to its critics, it does not give the subject political agency. Liberal theorists, such as Seyla Benhabib, have been particularly concerned with the political effects of this form of subjectivity on already marginalized social groups while other theorists, such as Susan Stryker and Ed Cohen, have articulated concern that the theory does not sufficiently account for embodiment, affect, and identity. This essay brings Deleuze's theory of masochism in dialogue with Butler's theories of subjectivity in an …

From Center To Margin: A Feminist Journey In The Roman Catholic Church, Susan A. Farrell
From Center To Margin: A Feminist Journey In The Roman Catholic Church, Susan A. Farrell
Publications and Research
Using a socio-religious approach to autobiography, a sociologist traces her development within the Roman catholic Church and her journey from the center of that religious faith to the margins.
