Podcasts about Fawaz

Ramzi Fawaz is an award-winning queer cultural critic, public speaker, and educator. He is the author of two books, including "The New Mutants: Superheroes and the Radical Imagination of American Comics" (2016), and "Queer Forms." (2022). In 2019-2020, Fawaz was a Stanford Humanities Center fellow. He is currently a Romnes Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Please be warned: this conversation is a firehose of brilliance. We cover a frankly outrageous number of topics, including: The politics and poetics of gender/ The radical imagination of the 1960s and 70s/ What happens when college students of today read manifestos from the 1970s and discover just how fiery, and fearless those voices actually were/ How feminist and gay liberation were deeply intertwined... and yet different/ The dark seduction of wounded identity and the political dead-end of suffering as a personality/ What the Beatles, postwar masculinity, and femme androgyny have to do with trans desire and cultural anxiety/ How trans liberation actually predates gay liberation in the U.S. / Teaching as ego dissolution: what it means to use the classroom like a psychedelic space. / And the idea that pluralism — true, radical pluralism — begins by accepting that you will be changed by contact with people who are radically different from you. Ramzi Fawaz is bold, funny, passionate about teaching, absurdly articulate, and I think you'll find he is deeply attuned to the moment we're living in. https://www.ramzifawaz.com/ Ramzi's Esalen offering: Thinking Like a Multiverse: Embracing a Diverse World June 23–27, 2025 Register now: https://www.esalen.org/workshops/thinking-like-a-multiverse-embracing-a-diverse-world-06232025 A quick note on AI: I use LLMs (often the multi-purposse ChatGPT, sometimes other models) to help me with various tasks associated with podcast production, including help with writing my intros, generating questions for my guests, and episode titles. Occasionally I create episode graphics, too. I almost never take the AI output as-is; I subscribe to Ethan Mollick's notion of co-intelligence, in that I edit what's been given me, add my own creativity, and aim for the best possible output in the end. My hope is that this will create a better Voices of Esalen. - SS

My guest for this episode of Fawaz Gerges of the London School of Economics where he is the Emirates Professorship in Contemporary Middle East Studies. Fawaz earned his doctorate at Oxford and has taught there, as well as at Harvard and Columbia. He has been a research scholar at Princeton and is the author of 10 books on the Middle East and his articles and editorials have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Christian Science Monitor, The Guardian, The Baltimore Sun, The Independent (London), Al Hayat (London), Foreign Policy, Newsweek, The National Interest, Democracy: a Journal of Ideas, Middle East Journal, Survival, Al Mustqbal al-Arabi, Middle East Insight, and many others.Gerges has given scores of interviews for various media outlets throughout the world, including ABC, CNN, BBC, PBS, CBS, NPR, CBC, Sky News, Al Jazeera, and LBC. He has been a guest on The Charlie Rose Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, ABC Nightline, World News Tonight, Rachel Maddow Show (MSNBC), This Week, Good Morning America and other prominent shows. He was a senior ABC television news analyst from 2000 until 2007.In this episode we first discuss Fawaz's most recent book, What Really Went Wrong: The West and the Failure of Democracy in the Middle East. This is an excellent historical study of the impact of US interventionist foreign policy in the Middle East in the post-WW2 era. It shows how the pursuit of stability, open commodity markets and anti-communism led the US to support and ally with anti-democratic autocrats throughout the region who eliminated legitimate nationalistic (and largely secular and democratic) political leaders. We see the consequences of these interventions in the region today.We then turn to a discussion of the current catastrophe in the Gaza, Israel and Lebanon. Fawaz and I disagree on many issues. For example, he paraphrases towards the end of our conversation a school of thought which has come to see Israel as the last, ‘Settler Colonial' state. I think this way of approaching the situation is an invitation to endless violence and despair. For a history of the evolution of this approach, I recommend On Settler Colonialism: Ideology, Violence and Justice by Adam Kirsch. There are also many things Fawaz says with which I agree. For example, his historical analysis of the monumental failure of US foreign policy seems to be me to be compelling. But my role as the host of this podcast is not to be a judge of other's views. In fact, what I agree with or do not agree with is not relevant. My job is to bring you views which may challenge your own; views which help us to understand the ways in which understandings and beliefs can be fundamentally different. The only way forward is to start with a genuine curiosity of what others think, believe and feel. Just as importantly, curiosity does not imply agreement. Too many times we pretend to attempt to understand something by seeking out others to confirm what we want to, or already believe. It is much better to be challenged by difference. From that starting point, we can, perhaps, begin to be able to predict and influence the future for the better. Fawaz is a thoughtful, careful, prolific and elegant scholar. While I may differ with him in some areas, I have never questioned his fundamental decency and humanity. I always learn and am challenged by our conversations together - which is a great gift. I hope you enjoy our conversation as well!CitationsGerges, F. (2024) What Really Went Wrong: The West and the Failure of Democracy in the Middle East.

On this week's episode of Mehdi Unfiltered, Mehdi explains the Israeli military policy driving their genocidal campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon. “The Dahiya doctrine calls for the Israeli military to intentionally, deliberately, cynically, inflict long-lasting and disproportionate damage onto the enemy, no matter how bad the civilian consequences,” Mehdi says. “AKA, exactly what we're seeing in Lebanon now, and in Gaza for the past year.”Why doesn't the US media give Israel's Dahiya doctrine any coverage? Mehdi does a deep dive into the history behind the policy, that of which mainstream media has failed to bring attention to. To discuss Israel's new front of the war in Lebanon, Lebanese academic and London School of Economics Professor, Fawaz Gerges joins the show. Gerges talks to Mehdi about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's latest message to the Lebanese people, in which Netanyahu called on the Lebanese people to, “stand up and take their country back” from Hezbollah or face the same suffering Israel has inflicted on Gaza. “What Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition are trying to do is to instigate a civil war in Lebanon. They're calling on the Lebanese to rise up to revolt against Hezbollah, knowing full well that Hezbollah is an integral part of the social fabric [in Lebanon],” Gerges says.Watch the full discussion above to hear Mehdi and Fawaz discuss why Israel's military strategy is so ineffective, the killing of Hezbollah Leader Hassan Nasrallah, and how the war in Gaza could change the international order forever. Also on the show, human rights activist Dr. Mahrang Baloch joins to tell Mehdi the story of how after being named one of Time Magazine's 100 Next, the Pakistani government barred her from traveling to New York to be recognized by Time and attend their gala this week. Baloch, who has been speaking out against Pakistan's abuse and killing of the country's Baloch minority, tells Mehdi that she was prevented from traveling to New York for the gala because the government knew she “would expose their war crimes in Balochistan.”“For years, our people have suffered enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and unimaginable human rights violations. And the US is [Pakistan's] biggest ally ,” Baloch says to Mehdi. “Not a single person that belongs to the Baloch community is safe.”Listen to Mehdi's interview with Dr. Mahrong Baloch to hear more about what the recognition from Time Magazine means to her and her minority community, as well as why other countries are turning a blind eye to Pakistan's abuse.After Elon Musk's surprise appearance at a Trump rally this past weekend, Mehdi is joined by the authors of “Character Limit,” – a new book about Musk and his disastrous Twitter takeover. "From bringing back formerly suspended accounts like that of former President Donald Trump and a variety of white supremacists and card-carrying antisemites, to then suspending accounts of journalists tracking the location of his jet using public sources, one thing is clear about Elon Musk, he is not the hero in this story,” Mehdi says. “But he thinks he is.”Watch Mehdi's interview with the authors, Ryan Mac and Kate Conger, to hear more about Musk forming his own echo chamber, his decisions to reduce content moderation on Twitter, and his rise into the far-right MAGA world. Be sure to watch the rest of this week's episode above.

Op de zondagochtend is het, ook tijdens deze snikhete week, tijd voor jouw vaste portie fijne nerd nieuwtjes in Nerd Culture. Alles wat er de afgelopen week is gebeurd in de filmwereld krijg jij te horen en zien in de vorm van een podcast en/of video. Het is een speciale aflevering, want Gamekings-oudgediende en film-eindbaas Veras schuift aan, om het te hebben over een stijl die grote invloed heeft op zijn werk; surrealisme. Wat is het, wat vindt hij er vet aan, en waar kunnen we het vinden. The good stuff voor iedereen die elke keer om meer arthouse, en minder Marvel vraagt, want er komen wat onbekende pareltjes voorbij! Maar er is meer. Vandaag hebben Jelle en Koos, ondanks het Nerd-onvriendelijke weer, een hoop nieuws voor je in petto. Wat dacht je van een nieuwe trailer voor het zesde seizoen van het door ons zo geliefde Rick & Morty en we kwamen meer te weten over een eventuele toekomst voor Breaking Bad.

Pak dus maar rap jouw frisdrankje er bij, haal die zweterige croissant uit het zakje en ga relaxed onderuit op de bank liggen. Zo geniet je maximaal van Nerd Culture nummer 72. Gaan we meer seizoenen van Breaking Bad zien? Of het nu heet is of koud, het nerdy nieuws blijft op ons afkomen. En dus konden Jelle en Koos er vol hun tanden inzetten. Hoe keken ze aan tegen de visie van James Cameron voor een Spider-Man film? Giancarlo Esposito is in gesprek met Marvel Studios en mikt op Professor X. Vinden ze dat een goed idee? Past hij bij deze rol? Rosario Dawson lekte de afgelopen week de terugkeer van Jon Bernthal's The Punisher. En Vince Gilligan lijkt de deur te sluiten voor meer Breaking Bad spin-offs. Dat laatste zal ons zeker teleurstellen, maar is het een verstandige keuze? Dit is lang niet alles de drie heren te melden hebben in deze podcast. Disney+ wordt duurder en krijgt nieuwe abonnementsvormen. Hoe kijken de drie tegen deze ontwikkeling aan en is het abonnement het geld waard? Dit en meer zie je in Nerd Culture nummer 72. Maar we sluiten af met die special. Surrealisme in Film Je zult een tiental films voorbij zien komen, van elk kaliber, verschillende soorten en maten. En Veras laat Koos en Jelle zien wat surrealisme in kan houden, en waarom het vet is.

As part of our community health partnership with Valley Health, we talked today with Dr. Charbel Fawaz, a board-certified general neurosurgeon with Valley Health Virginia Brain & Spine. He has expertise in minimally invasive and complex multi-level spine surgery. We discussed the benefits of robotic-guided surgeries and the use of technology in spine surgery. Dr. Fawaz emphasized the advantages of minimally invasive surgical methods, the importance of training and expertise in utilizing these technologies effectively, and the evolution of surgery over the years. He also highlighted the common spinal problems encountered in our community and the benefits of minimally invasive or robotic surgery for these conditions. Part of our conversation included the advantages of using the Mazor X Stealth robotic guidance system in spine surgery. Dr. Fawaz explained that the system allows for precise planning of surgeries in advance, which saves time and reduces blood loss. He emphasized that the robot does not physically touch the patient, but guides the surgeon's hands to precise locations within the spine. He highlighted the benefits of minimally invasive surgical methods, which involve splitting muscle fibers instead of cutting them. This method results in less post-surgery pain, faster recovery times, and shorter hospital stays.

He argues that the movie is about “the representations that we use to stand in for gender” reminding us of the powerful monologue by America Ferrera "You have to be thin, but not too thin. And you can never say you want to be thin. You have to say you want to be healthy, but also you have to be thin…” dictating the impossible standards placed upon women in this society that also has it's negative effects on men. Andrew agrees the gender expectations placed on men and women need to be discussed more openly as he asks “who is the #1 group committing suicide? It's men” highlighting the flaws with the popular gender standard that the man has to be the provider. Ramzi and Andrew also discuss the famed Depp v. Heard trial stating “why is it that in the realm of intimate companionship men and women are so at odds?” revealing the popular discourse brought by the trial on social media and the discussion of controversial social issues like the #MeToo movement and women's rights.

In this episode, guest host and neurointerventional surgeon Dr. Krishna Amuluru interviews triple-boarded neurointerventional surgeon, neurointensivist, and neurologist Dr. Fawaz Al-Mufti about stroke thrombectomy in special populations. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR MicroVention FRED X https://www.fred-x.com/ --- SHOW NOTES Fawaz serves as an Associate Professor, Director of Neuroendovascular Surgery Fellowship & Neurocritical-Care Unit, Assistant Dean of GME research, and Vice-Chair of Neurology research at New York Medical College, Westchester Medical Center. First, we define the special populations that have been excluded from stroke thrombectomy randomized controlled trials (RCTs). These populations include octogenarian, nonagenarian, pediatric, and pregnant patients. Fawaz then recaps the landmark trials that have shaped the field of neuroendovascular surgery, beginning with the handful that were published in 2015/2016. Approaching mechanical stroke thrombectomy in patients in their 80s and 90s and the lack of existing RCT literature is also discussed. Switching gears, Fawaz then speaks on caring for pediatric patients with large-vessel occlusion (LVO). Krishna and Fawaz cover the relative rarity of pediatric LVOs, significant differences in adult vs. pediatric stroke, and what literature exists to help guide decision-making in this patient population. Krishna then asks Fawaz about mechanical stroke thrombectomy in pregnant patients. They also cover existing literature, etiologies, and their approaches to intervention. To conclude the episode, Fawaz and Krishna speak on the purposes, applications, extrapolations, and limitations of randomized-controlled trials. --- RESOURCES SVIN 2023 Annual Meeting: https://www.svin.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3625 IMS-III Trial 2013: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1214300 Mr. Clean Study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1411587 REVASCAT Study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1503780 EXTEND-IA Study: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1414792 ESCAPE Trial: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1414905 SWIFT PRIME Trial: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1415061 HERMES Registry: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(16)00351-2/fulltext?rss%3Dyes Thrombolysis in Pediatric Stroke Study (TIPS): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4342311/ Delay to Diagnosis in Acute Pediatric Arterial Ischemic Stroke Study: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/strokeaha.108.519066#:~:text=Analysis%20of%20Delay%20in%20Arterial,and%2020%25%20within%206%20hours.

Today's guest is Ramzi Fawaz, the Romnes Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Published by NYU Press in 2016, The New Mutants: Superheroes and the Radical Imagination of American Comics is his first book. In 2022, Ramzi published Queer Forms, for which he was interviewed by Lilly Goren for the New Books in Political Science channel. He is also the co-editor of Keywords for Comics Studies, with Deborah Whaley and Shelley Streeby, both with NYU Press. Ramzi's recently published articles include “Legions of Superheroes: Diversity, Multiplicity, and Collective Action Against Genocide in the Superhero Comic Book,” in Social Text; and wrote the introduction to “Queer About Comics,” a special issue of American Literature, with Darieck Scott. A bit about the book:  n 1964, noted literary critic Leslie Fiedler described American youth as "new mutants," social rebels severing their attachments to American culture to remake themselves in their own image. 1960s comic book creators, anticipating Fiedler, began to morph American superheroes from icons of nationalism and white masculinity into actual mutant outcasts, defined by their genetic difference from ordinary humanity. These powerful misfits and "freaks" soon came to embody the social and political aspirations of America's most marginalized groups, including women, racial and sexual minorities, and the working classes. In The New Mutants: Superheroes and the Radical Imagination of American Comics (NYU Press, 2016), Ramzi Fawaz draws upon queer theory to tell the story of these monstrous fantasy figures and how they grapple with radical politics from Civil Rights and The New Left to Women's and Gay Liberation Movements. Through a series of comic book case studies--including The Justice League of America, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and The New Mutants--alongside late 20th century fan writing, cultural criticism, and political documents, Fawaz reveals how the American superhero modeled new forms of social belonging that counterculture youth would embrace in the 1960s and after. The New Mutants provides the first full-length study to consider the relationship between comic book fantasy and radical politics in the modern United States. John Yargo is Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities at Boston College. He earned a PhD in English literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, specializing in the environmental humanities and early modern culture. In 2023, his dissertation won the J. Leeds Barroll Prize, given by the Shakespeare Association of America. His peer-reviewed articles have been published or are forthcoming in the Journal for Early Modern Culture Studies, Early Theatre, Studies in Philology, and Shakespeare Studies.

The New Mutants provides the first full-length study to consider the relationship between comic book fantasy and radical politics in the modern United States. John Yargo is Visiting Assistant Professor of Environmental Humanities at Boston College. He earned a PhD in English literature from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, specializing in the environmental humanities and early modern culture. In 2023, his dissertation won the J. Leeds Barroll Prize, given by the Shakespeare Association of America.

Today's guest is Ramzi Fawaz, the Romnes Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Published by NYU Press in 2016, The New Mutants: Superheroes and the Radical Imagination of American Comics is his first book. In 2022, Ramzi published Queer Forms, for which he was interviewed by Lilly Goren for the New Books in Political Science channel. He is also the co-editor of Keywords for Comics Studies, with Deborah Whaley and Shelley Streeby, both with NYU Press. Ramzi's recently published articles include “Legions of Superheroes: Diversity, Multiplicity, and Collective Action Against Genocide in the Superhero Comic Book,” in Social Text; and wrote the introduction to “Queer About Comics,” a special issue of American Literature, with Darieck Scott. A bit about the book:  n 1964, noted literary critic Leslie Fiedler described American youth as "new mutants," social rebels severing their attachments to American culture to remake themselves in their own image. 1960s comic book creators, anticipating Fiedler, began to morph American superheroes from icons of nationalism and white masculinity into actual mutant outcasts, defined by their genetic difference from ordinary humanity. These powerful misfits and "freaks" soon came to embody the social and political aspirations of America's most marginalized groups, including women, racial and sexual minorities, and the working classes. In The New Mutants: Superheroes and the Radical Imagination of American Comics (NYU Press, 2016), Ramzi Fawaz draws upon queer theory to tell the story of these monstrous fantasy figures and how they grapple with radical politics from Civil Rights and The New Left to Women's and Gay Liberation Movements.

After a few months, I'm back with what I'm hoping is another banger. Join me, Isaacc(Navide) and Fawaz as we discuss masculinity, when it's toxic, homophobia and more. Apologies in advance for the abrupt cuts but don't worry, the message is clear. You can watch video version on Spotify and YouTube! Remember, we don't know it all so feel free to share your views via our instagram @f.u.t.p and let us know what topics you want to hear us discuss. Till next time **inserts love

Rob is away this episode while his wife gives birth, so Fawaz will be filling in as guest host. We will get to the best of the best and worst of the worst of the Catholic landscape. #Catholic #Trad #christianity ********************************************************Avoiding Babylon was started during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. During these difficult and dark days, when most of us were isolated from family, friends, our parishes, and even the Sacraments themselves, this channel was started as a statement of standing against the tyrannical mandates that many of us were living under. Since those early days, this channel has morphed into an amazing community of friends…no…more than friends…Christian brothers and sisters…who have grown in joy and charity.Avoiding Babylon does not criticize the hierarchy or institutional Church, especially Pope Francis. We recognize there is an unprecedented crisis in the Church, but we feel that there are other shows that address these issues that are more qualified than us. Instead, we try to remind ourselves and those who enjoy the channel that being Catholic is a joyful and exciting experience. We seek true Catholic fraternity and eutrapelia with other Catholics who, like us, are doing their best to live out their vocation with the help of God's Grace. Above all, we try to bring humor and joy to the craziness of this fallen world, for as Hillaire Belloc has famously said:“Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,There's always laughter and good red wine.At least I've always found it so.Benedicamus Domino!”https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community:  https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comStore:  https://avoiding-babylon.sellfy.store/RSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV:  https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee:  https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon Support the showCheck out our new store!

Listen to the rest of the episode by joining the ITBR Cafe for only $5 a month! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom Today we have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Ramzi Fawaz, a queer scholar with a PhD in American Studies, and a professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Ramzi joins Andrew in the ITBR to cover many thought-provoking topics that are discussed in Ramzi's book “Queer Forms” such as pop culture, academia, activism, and identity.  Ramzi recalls his time as an undergraduate at UC Berkeley and his PhD experience at George Washington University, mentioning the Queer and Feminist theoretical scholarship that informed his education. This was the foundation for Ramzi's interest in Queer theory and LGBTQ+ pop culture, and how it can be used to share complex, scholarly ideas to the masses. Additionally, he discusses how activism also plays a role alongside scholarship.  Ramzi and Andrew also discuss their experiences in academia, and Ramzi notes how, in 2023, it is such a different climate because of this social media age. He explains the conundrum of being at the tail end of traditional academic training, and entering the world of a digital wave of academia where success is equated to your online presence.  Check out Ramzi Fawaz's compelling book, “Queer Forms”: https://nyupress.org/9781479820733/queer-forms/ Be sure to follow Ramzi on Instagram, @nerdfromthefuture and Twitter, @NewMutantRamz  Head over to the ITBR Cafe, our Patreon, to hear Ramzi's unfiltered thoughts about LGBTQ+ representation in “Bros”… Only $5 a month! patreon.com/ivorytowerboilerroom Head to Broadview Press, an independent academic publisher, for all your humanities related books.

THE REMARKABLE STORY OF BILAL FAWAZ - SET TO MAKE PRO-DEBUT.

Ramzi Fawaz, Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has a new book that weaves together the more contemporary history of feminism and women's liberation, the gay liberation movement, feminist and queer theory, and iconic popular culture artifacts in order to understand gendered and sexual forms in context of gender and sexual fluidity. This is a brilliant book, interdisciplinary in scope and approach, taking the reader on a journey through theoretical frameworks and interpretive understandings of where we often see queer forms, and what we think about those forms. Fawaz notes that he is working to tell a story, interpreting cultural artifacts to forefront the ideas from feminist and queer theory, knitting these approaches together to guide us through a fascinating understanding of what we see when we watch films, or television, or read comics, or enjoy Broadway performances. These interpretations provide us with ways of seeing identity and shape within narrative forms and creative storytelling. But Fawaz is also pushing against an excess of thinking that all identities and forms are fluid—instead, Queer Forms (NYU Press, 2022) examines the capacity of identity and forms to, essentially, shapeshift, which is not the same as being fluid, since shapeshifting is an adaption, and thus is not without form itself. Form has little meaning until or unless they are/it is interpreted by others. The thrust of the work that Fawaz is doing in Queer Forms ultimately is about freedom and how we can each exist as free individuals, especially when there are often social and legal rules that constrain us as individuals with distinct identities that traverse a host of markers and qualities. Popular culture artifacts can provide the room and opportunity to imagine identities in different forms and contexts. Queer Forms provides the reader with an archive of culture forms as a kind of gift, helping us to see and understand how we might interpret or reinterpret the queer and feminist past so that we approach our daily contemporary life with that understanding. Fawaz explains the variegated theories that frame these interpretations and gets at this historical foundation—especially of the liberation movements in the 1960s and 1970s—in order to engage in a valuable consideration of freedom. Lilly J. Goren is a professor of political science at Carroll University in Waukesha, WI. She is co-editor of the award winning book, Women and the White House: Gender, Popular Culture, and Presidential Politics (University Press of Kentucky, 2012), as well as co-editor of Mad Men and Politics: Nostalgia and the Remaking of Modern America (Bloomsbury Academic, 2015).

Protests against the authorities in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini continue. Demonstrations erupted over three weeks ago over the death of the 22-year-old, who was arrested for allegedly breaking the country's strict dress code. In response the UK has imposed sanctions on Iran's morality police and other top security figures. Today's Nick Robinson spoke to "Fawaz" – not his real name – who has been protesting in Tehran.

In Queer Forms, Ramzi Fawaz explores how the central values of 1970s movements for women's and gay liberation--including consciousness-raising, separatism, and coming out of the closet--were translated into a range of American popular culture forms. Throughout this period, feminist and gay activists fought social and political battles to expand, transform, or wholly explode definitions of so-called "normal" gender and sexuality. In doing so, they inspired artists, writers, and filmmakers to invent new ways of formally representing, or giving shape to, non-normative genders and sexualities. This included placing women, queers, and gender outlaws of all stripes into exhilarating new environments--from the streets of an increasingly gay San Francisco to a post-apocalyptic commune, from an Upper East Side New York City apartment to an all-female version of Earth--and finding new ways to formally render queer genders and sexualities by articulating them to figures, outlines, or icons that could be imagined in the mind's eye and interpreted by diverse publics.   Join us for a conversation between Fawaz and Ryan Hatch. _______________________________________________   Produced by Nat Freeman, Lance Morgan, & Michael Kowaleski.
