Queersmopolitan is a magazine created as an academic project for the 'Women, Society and Changing India' course at the Young India Fellowship 2016-17. It is imagined as a magazine that caters to the sexual and gender minorities who are not given space in our public culture. Through thoughtful advertisements, comics, interviews and features, it attempts to sensitise readers to aspects of gender and sexuality that they may be unconscious of presently.
Queersmopolitan looks forward to a world where love and individuality can thrive.

Drag: limitations & potential of black queer spaceLoanniDelMonte
Drag as a black queer space has the potential to both uphold and resist oppressive structures of white supremacy and homonormative queerness. My research found that drag performance can expose the black queer subject to hyper-racialization and spatial and legislative control, as well as assert the freedom, control and movement of black queer bodies by way of subversive gender expression.

Monster Culture (Seven Theses) by Jeffrey Jerome CohenRevise.docxmoirarandell
Monster Culture (Seven Theses) by Jeffrey Jerome Cohen
Revised for 7th grade by Mrs. Kibbie
I would like to propose is that I have developed a method of reading and understanding
cultures by studying the monsters they create. Though this theory is not unfailing and is
certainly not true in ALL CASES, I offer seven theses toward understanding cultures through
the monsters they bear.
Thesis 1: The Monster’s Body Is a Cultural Body
Monsters are born at a metaphoric crossroads as an embodiment of a certain cultural moment
-- of a time, a feeling, and a place. If you learn about the monster, you learn about the culture
that created it. The monster’s body incorporates fear, desire, anxiety, and fantasy, giving them
life and a kind of independence. The word MONSTER means “that which reveals” and “that
which warns. A monster is an embodiment of any given society or culture’s fears. They are
like a time capsule almost, a window into a culture.
Thesis II: The Monster Always Escapes
Even if monsters don’t escape at the end of stories, they are never really destroyed. How
many heroes have fought vampires in story after story? We see the damage that the monster
wreaks, the material remains such as footprints, bones, etc, but the monster always seems to
vanish. He or she is never caught and fully understood. The movie always has a sequel. How
many times will Ripley from the Alien movies fight various incarnations of the alien? How
many times will Jamie Lee Curtis’s character Laurie Schrode fight Michael Meyers? How
many people will face Freddy Kreuger?
Monsters change as the times change. Think about vampires for instance. When Bram Stoker
was writing the original Dracula novel, the author himself was being influenced by Victorian
values that made normal sexual feelings seem monstrous and wrong, as well as fears about
people from foreign countries coming to England and changing things. Vampires return in
many books by many authors and those authors have other influences different than Stoker’s.
Therefore, their vampires take on other characteristics that represent their society.
In each of these stories, the undead returns in slightly different clothing, each time to be read
against contemporary social movements or a specific, determining event.
Thesis III: The Monster Is the Harbinger of Category Crisis
Harbinger means a person who goes on ahead and makes the approach of something
known, a herald. If your class was headed down to lunch, and someone went ahead to let the
lunch workers know, you would be the harbinger.

Categories are the “boxes” in which we organize information. Categories are how we define
things. We define music by categories such as hip-hop, country, and pop.
Monsters don’t like to fit easily into one type of category in the world. They are unnatural.
They are unlike things that already exist in the world. If you thi ...

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

Trickster characters and approaches
In-class Writing: Evaluating the Trickster Character
3. Terms for Exam 4: A Comprehensive Test
Gender Identity: The sense of “being” male or “being” female. For some
people, gender identity is in accord with physical anatomy. For transgender
people, gender identity may differ from physical anatomy or expected social roles. It is
important to note that gender identity, biological sex, and sexual orientation are not
necessarily linked.
Heterosexism: The concept that heterosexuality is natural, normal, superior and
required. A system of beliefs about the superiority of heterosexuals or heterosexuality
evidenced in the exclusion, by omission or design, of gay, lesbian and bisexual persons
in assumptions, communication, policies, procedures, events, or activities.
Heterosexual: A person who is primarily and/or exclusively attracted to members of a
gender or sex that is seen to be “opposite” or other than the one with which they
identify or are identified.
Homosexual: A person who is primarily and /or exclusively attracted to members of
what they identify as their own sex or gender. Because the term possesses
connotations of disease and abnormality, some people do not like to identify as
homosexual. Still others do not feel that it accurately defines their chosen identity.
Lesbian: One who identifies as a woman who is primarily or exclusively attracted to
others who identify as women.
4. • Sex Reassignment (SRS): A surgical procedure that modifies one’s primary and/or
secondary sex characteristics. This process was formerly called a “sex change
operation,” a phrase now considered offensive.
• Sexual Orientation: A person’s emotional, physical and sexual attraction and the
expression of that attraction with other individuals. Some of the better-known labels
or categories include “bisexual,” “multisexual,” “pansexual,” “omnisexual,”
“lesbian,” “gay” (“homosexual” is a more clinical term), or “heterosexual.”
• Trans: Abbreviation for transgender, transsexual, or some other form of trans identity.
“Trans” can invoke notions of transcending beyond, existing between, or crossing
over borders.
• Transgender: An umbrella term used to describe people who do not fit into traditional
gender categories, including transsexuals, transvestites or cross-dressers, intersexuals
or hermaphrodites, and sometimes, even people who identify as butch or femme. Can
invoke notions of transcending beyond, existing between or crossing over borders.
• Transition: The period when one is changing from living as one sex or gender to a
different conception of sex or gender. Transitioning is complicated, multi-step process
that may include surgically and/or hormonally altering one’s body.

2. What is the purpose of a trickster?

4. What is the role of the trickster?
5. Why are there mostly male tricksters in myths?
6. Are all tricksters bad?
7. Are authors of trickster tales tricksters themselves?
7. The Attraction to/Fear of
Tricksters
1. Why are we intrigued by tricksters?
2. How can tricksters affect us?
3. How do we see through tricksters?
4. Should tricksters be welcomed?
5. How can we avoid tricksters in our own lives?
8. The Modern Trickster
1. How has the trickster evolved throughout history?
2. What differences in the human condition are there
between the ancient and contemporary tricksters?
(Such as today’s self-aware and self-reflective
trickster as opposed to the ancient unaware
trickster)
9.
10.
11. The Question
Does the trickster perform fundamental cultural
work?
In understanding the trickster better, do we better
understand ourselves, and the perhaps subconscious
aspects of ourselves that respond to the trickster’s
unsettling and transformative behavior?
In understanding the trickster better, do we better
understand our limitations? Our culture? Our biases?
Or boundaries? Or something else?
12. Are there remnants of this early definition
of the trickster in our modern day
characters? Which?
“Everywhere one looks among premodern peoples,
there are tricky mythical beings alike enough to
entice any human mind to create a category for
them once it had met two or three. They are beings
of the beginning, working in some complex
relationship with the High God; transformers,
helping to bring the present human world into
being; performers of heroic acts on behalf of men,
yet in their original form. or in some later form,
foolish, obscene, laughable, yet indomitable”
(Robert D. Pelton, The Trickster in West Africa 15).
13. Does this definition resonate with us
in terms of our modern trickster
characters? How?
According to [Paul] Radin, for example,
“Trickster is at one and the same time creator
and destroyer, giver and negator, he who
dupes others and who is always duped himself.
. . . He possesses no values, moral or social, is at
the mercy of his passions and appetites, yet
through his actions all values come into being”
(xxiii).
14. Do we see our trickster characters
in this more contemporary
definition? Who?
[The trickster] actually is immoral (or at least amoral) and
blasphemous and rebellious, and his interest in entering the
societal game is not to provide the safety-valve that makes it
tolerable, but to question, manipulate, and disrupt its rules. He
is the consummate mover of goalposts, constantly redrawing
the boundaries of the possible. In fact, the trickster suggests,
says Hyde, “a method by which a stranger or underling can
enter the game, change its rules, and win a piece of the
action” (204).
15. Can we revise this idea to
apply it to our texts or
characters?
Not just any rogue or anti-hero can properly be termed a
trickster. The true trickster’s trickery calls into question
fundamental assumptions about the way the world is
organized, and reveals the possibility of transforming
them (even if often for ignoble ends). In this regard it is
not surprising that innovative uses have been made of
the modern incarnation of the trickster in American
novels produced by writers of dual ethnic or cultural
backgrounds, in whose worlds boundaries have
continually to be mediated and assumptions challenged..
16. Are our Characters
modern Tricksters? How
do we know?
The self-reflexivity associated with the
[contemporary trickster] is absent in the ancient
“unconscious” trickster, like Wakdjunkaga, whose
hands fought each other and who was unaware that
his anus was part of his own body. The
contemporary trickster, by contrast, is largely self-
aware, unlike his/her archaic counterpart. “[T]he
pressures of experience produce from that
somewhat witless character a more sophisticated
trickster.”
17. A New Age of Tricksters?
Are they tricky? Or in
Earnest?
[A] new age brings a transmutation and a new
repertoire of tricks. In fact, we may now have
reached the stage of ultimate ambiguity, where the
trickster’s self-awareness and self-reflexivity call into
question even what is a trick and what is in
earnest, or on what side of the boundary truth lies, if
indeed there are any more “sides” or any
unequivocal truths (Lock).

19. Homework
Writing for Essay #4:
Post your in-class writing
Writing: Blog Prompt: Identify two characters from our reading who
share a common trait or traits. How are they alike? How might you use
them to create a single thesis that answers the essay 4 prompt?
Consider these traits: Deceitful, Self-Serving, Cultural Hero, Shape Shifter, Solitary,
Weak (physically, intellectually, socially), Uses Special Tools, Teacher. There can
be other traits, so if you identify a common behavior or characteristic in two
tricksters, do not hesitate to explore the potential.
