Portrait Of A Prostitute: A Feminist Analysis Of The Victorian Sex Worker In 19th Century Art And Literature, Marissa Merlino
Honors Program Theses and Projects
Despite their deplorable reputation in the conservative eyes of Victorians, prostitutes became the subject of numerous literary pieces and visual artworks. The comparison between characterizations of the sex worker by male writers versus female writers highlights the distinct intentions of both genders. The prestigious Pre-Raphaelite writer and artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti exhibits a dramatic presentation of his male savior complex in both his poem “Jenny” and his painting “Found”, along with its accompanying poem. In contrast, feminist writer Augusta Webster provides her prostitute speaker, Eulalie, with a voice that allows her to articulate how agency plays a role in her …

Estas líneas de Ventura Lynch reflejan parte del poco conocido origen del tango argentino. Como Lynch indica, este baile es el producto de la burla y perversión del candombe – un tipo de baile que surgió entre los descendientes de esclavos libres en Uruguay a principios del siglo diecinueve – que hicieron los compadritos al integrar algunos de sus ritmos y pasos a la milonga rioplatense. La frustración del compadrito al no poder entender las tradiciones africanas dio inicio a un baile que pasó por varios cambios y varios espacios durante los siglos diecinueve y veinte hasta llegar a ser …

Insurrectionary Womanliness: Gender And The (Boxing) Ring, Melanie J. Mcnaughton
Insurrectionary Womanliness: Gender And The (Boxing) Ring, Melanie J. Mcnaughton
Communication Studies Faculty Publications
Integrating sociological theory on sport with Judith Butler’s concept of insurrectionary speech, the author explores why and how womanliness is produced and problematized. In particular, this article investigates how participating in combat sport violates conventional womanliness by foregrounding physical capability and aggression. Using her identity as a female fighter as a starting point to engage the cultural construction of womanliness, the author connects a critical/cultural look at gender and sport with autoethnography.

The Queer Tourist In 'Straight'(?) Space: Sexual Citizenship In Provincetown, Sandra Faiman-Silva
Anthropology Faculty Publications
Provincetown, Massachusetts USA, a rural out-of-the-way coastal village at the tip of Cape Cod with a yearround population of approximately 3,500, has 'taken off' since the late 1980s as a popular GLBTQ tourist destination. Long tolerant of sexual minorities, Provincetown transitioned from a Portuguese-dominated fishing village to a popular 'queer' gay resort mecca, as the fishing industry deteriorated drastically over the twentieth century. Today Provincetowners rely mainly on tourists—both straight and gay—who enjoy the seaside charm, rustic ambiance, and a healthy dose of non-heternormative performance content, in this richly diverse tourist milieu. As Provincetown's popularity as a GLBTQ tourist destination …
