Narrative and Identity, Tutorial: Narrative and Identity
-
Description
-
All human beings tell stories, indeed some researchers argue that a narrative capacity is a critical and unique feature of human cognition. The great political philosopher, Hannah Arendt, claims that we tell stories because we need them to understand the intentions of human actors, and without them we cannot make sense of human speech and action. Stories not only help us to make sense of actions, they also motivate them.

New Queer Cinema Today: Film and the critique of neoliberalism, Film and the critique of neoliberalism
-
Description
-
In 1992, B. Ruby Rich coined the term New Queer Cinema to describe a cycle of films in the late 1980s and early 1990s that broke with conventional cinematic practices to show rethought subjectivities, generic subversions, and revised histories. New Queer Cinema, however, saw little of the same bursts of innovative directors and their films after 1992. This lag in revolutionary filmmaking left many evaluating queer cinema’s current state, even mourning the supposed end of New Queer Cinema. In this paper, I argue that queer filmmaking is not void of revolutionary potential; it is more that the driving force behind these films has changed. Instead of acting in opposition to a conservative government that failed to respond to the AIDS crisis, current queer work resists the normalizing effects of today’s neoliberal government. A cycle study of recent queer films reveals this driving revolutionary force.
