Seminars in the City The 1950s is commonly viewed as a socially conservative and sexually repressive decade. Yet it was also a time of incredibly subversive and highly political art and popular culture, much of which came out of Jewish and queer experiences. This series will explore the work of these artists and performers and look at how the challenged prevailing ideas about gender, sexuality, ethnicity, identity, and sexual politics, and examine the overlaps between dissident queer and Jewish sensibilities. We will be looking at films with Danny Kaye and Jerry Lewis, television work by Jack Benny and Gertrude Berg, listening to "dirty" Jewish women comics Belle Barth and Pearl Williams (as well as Lenny Bruce), and reading Allan Ginsberg, Patricia Highsmith, Paul Goodman, Laura Z. Hobson, and Herbert Marcuse, as well as selected critical essays on the period. To be held at the Lesbian and Gay Community Center 208 West 13th Street, New York City, from 1-3pm, the last Saturday of each month, February 23, March 30, April 27, and May 25.

The gathering invites scholars, artists, activists, policy makers, community organizers, teachers and students to address questions such as: What do we want to know about prisons with/without walls?

Sexual Censorship: Why Can't We Talk Honestly About Young People and Sex co-sponsored by The Center of the Study of Women and Society, CUNY and The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality, NYU. Friday, April 26, 4:30-6:00 p.m. The Forbidden Eakins: The Sexual Politics of Thomas Eakins and His Circle Monday, June 24, 7:00pm Stony Brook-Manhattan 401 Park Ave South, 2nd floor (at 28th Street) This symposium takes the opening of the Eakins exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as an occasion to gather in one place the leading edge of the field to discuss queer and feminist approaches to the subject of sex and gender in the Eakin's paintings, photography, and biography. It is necessary because the Met has once again utterly ignored a now quite developed and highly influential queer studies bibliography towards the framing of an artist who is, moreover, safely dead. In this round-table conversation, panelists will take up subjects like: homoeroticism, race, and masculinity; women in Eakins's work; Eakins's photographic interest in the naked body; class difference; and the challenges Eakins poses to people working in gay and lesbian studies. They will also consider the larger subject of queer perspectives in art history, and the curatorial practices of the museums that manage Eakins's presence in the public sphere. Participants include art historians, American studies scholars, queer theorists, literary critics, and artists - all with distinct investments in Eakins and in the subject of pleasure, sex, and politics in American culture: Martin Berger, Deborah Bright, Jennifer Doyle, Michael Hatt, Michael Moon, James Smalls, and Jonathan Weinberg.

Wednesday, November 14, 2001, 7-9 pm. Ananya Mukherjea & Salvador Vidal-Ortiz Sociology Program, Graduate Center, CUNY CUNY’s Graduate Center, Room 9205 Queer Citizens, National Violence: Race, Sex and the State Thursday, October 25, 2001, 6:30 pm. The Barnard Center for Research on Women presents a lecture with Lisa Duggan ("Sapphic Slashers") and Nayan Shah ("Contagious Divides") Through our Queers and Diaspora series, the Center has opened a dialogue concerning the impact that crossing national boundaries and allegiances hason the formation of sexual identity. This semester, this conversation continues with acclaimed scholars Lisa Duggan, Associate Professor of American Studies and History at New York University and author of Sapphic Slashers: Sex, Violence and American Modernity, and Nayan Shah, Associate Professor of History at University of California at San Diego. Taking diasporic movements as their point of departure, Professors Dugan and Shah will examine what happens when the state mandates the cultural or political identity of its citizens. Not only does the state necessitate a divide between "dominant" and "sub"-cultural associations, it forces the minority to play an oppositional role. Seemingly divergent identities - whether racial or sexual, religious or ethnic - are quickly construed as hostile to the state, its laws and citizenry. The result, too often, is sweeping, systematic forms of violence against idioms, identities, spaces, and values that challenge the state.
