Closet

(“Queer Histories”). Leo Bersani and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick are two queer Authors who have impacted the public and academic structures of knowledge during this crisis. Examining Bersani’s “Is the Rectum a Grave?” and Sedgwick’s “Epistemology of the Closet,” both are positioned towards different audiences and found to converge and diverge from each other in the historically contingent need for justification of homosexual identity during the AIDS crisis, to the queering of social constructions for…

hints and inadvertent leaks, whereby it, for example, through Katherine Hepburn’s androgynous character in Sylvia Scarlett merely ‘Introduced the possibility of homosexual activity in the film…’” (Ross 168). According to the documentary The Celluloid Closet, gayness was made to be something to laugh at, to pity, and to fear thanks to Hollywood’s early construction of implied gay characters (Avila 8.1). For many closeted gay people in the community, watching this inaccurate representation in…

attack of the Undead. Assuming that it's lunch time when the outbreak begins, I would immediately run towards the closet that connects all the science classrooms. My school is a relatively old building with various closets all interconnected by winding hallways. The science closet is a hallway connecting the chemistry, anatomy, physics, and earth science classrooms. The cavernous closet has a total of 6 doors, one which leads to the roof and nearby fire escape. And one that leads to a small…

All summer in a day shows that people will do dumb things to show jealousy, like, some people will shut people up in closets, or do other things because they are jealous and want what others have and are trying to get it in strange ways. “It's like a fire in the stove” “No it's not your lying you don't remember” the kids were saying to Margot the she doesn't know what the sun looks like and she doesn't remember what it looks like even know she used to live on earth and saw the sun frequently.…

The very mention of skeletons in the closet sends chills up our spine and immediately through our mind’s eyes, we see a pile of bones in a dark closet. However, that may not always be the case. Often times, the skeletons are a collection of memories and secrets, stored over the years in the secret compartments of our mind, and we alone have access to them. Many of these are wonderful, and enjoyable to share, which we do willingly. However, along with these are unpleasant, often painful memories…

The most significant argument drawn from Eve Sedgwick’s Epistemology of the Closet is the harmful effects a binary view of topics like sexuality and gender could have. The most concerning aspect of the subject of binary viewership is that it applies to more subjects than what was previously listed. Society has an incredibly long history of categorization and lessening people to one of few groups, which only sets up barriers for those who do not fit into them. This process may have worked…

In the Map Closet Project, we learned where goods like clothing come from, different statistics about countries like the GDP, population and poverty lines, infant mortality rate and HIV/AIDS. We also read an article called The Real Cost of Cheap Fashion that talked about workers in factories and their working conditions. Through my learning, I believe that my choice of clothing impacts others around the world. One of the projects within the Map Closet Project, we had to list 15 items that we…

accept is that I fit into the category of a closet racist like Paul Gorski talks about in his article “Language of Closet Racism: An Illustration”. It was hard to accept at first because I always believed that I was a person who never discriminate against a person based on their skin colour, but I have never really learned about closet racism before this class and now with the information from this class I can see that some of my action fit into category of closet racism. Being able to see that…

that belittles their freedom and rights. In this paper, I will evaluate African American’s discrimination through connections between the Agustin Laó-Montes essay and the “Black in Latin America Episode 3, Mexico and Peru: The Black Grandma in the Closet” video, assessing slave engagements, racial classifications, and concealed identities. To clarify my sources, the Agustin Laó-Montes essay exists as a scholarly journal, dedicated on surpassing the Blacks and Latinos ethnic…
