The Mystics of Memory: Jewish Mysticism in W.G. Sebald's Austerlitz.

▼ What is memory? Is it a familial inheritance, a file in the archives, an unanswerable question, a ghost of someone, or something, long dead? And, beyond the “what” of memory, there is also the “how.” <i>How</i> does one gain access to memory? By digging through history books, flipping through family photo albums, daydreaming in solitude, or by listening to the stories of first-hand witnesses? This thesis seeks to address the above questions in relation to the memorial accounts of the trauma of World War II and the devastation of the Holocaust in W.G. Sebald’s novel, <i>Austerlitz</i> by making use of the theoretical tools provided by Jewish mysticism–– specifically the reparative notion of <i>tikkun</i>, the diagrams of the <i>sefirot</i>, and the act of creation as part of a dialogue between text and image. Although pairing the <i>Kabbalah</i> and a 21st century novel may seem untoward, reading the two together creates a new method for approaching the problem of memory, and the memory of trauma specifically. Memory is therefore understood in this thesis as having three key characteristics: it requires movement (in both an imaginative and physical sense), it is an act of creation, and it allows characters to simultaneously be both one and many–an individual and a collective. Turning to theorizations of Jewish mysticism not only contextualizes Sebald’s ideas within a much older philosophical heritage, but such a turn also helps to reframe questions of the Holocaust and memory within a distinctly Jewish tradition and thereby exposes a new angle for addressing a series of questions that has saturated scholarship since the end of WWII. Reading Sebald within the context of Jewish mysticism opens up productive avenues for understanding the dialectical exchange between the collective and the individual in acts of memorial reparation and the ways in which such dialectics rely heavily on creativity and mobility. Thus, rather than holding the historical and the personal, the public and the private, the collective and the individual, as oppositional categories, this thesis seeks to understand the ways in which the text’s characters are in constant movement between these categories whenever they seek to understand a past that has been partially erased by a monumental loss of human life (and therefore a monumental loss of human memory).

▼ Nationalist attitudes and nationalism have long been of interest to social scientists yet studies have been inconclusive on many of their aspects. My research examines national identity from a new perspective and provides outlines of relationships that exist between education, national identity, economic development in the world, and other country-level characteristics. National identity is operationalized in several different ways: first as national pride and a national pride scale, then separately as the ethnic and the civic components of national identity, and as combined national identity. I also consider additional macro-structural variables: human development, democracy, ethnic, linguistic, and religious homogeneity, and the values-related variables of levels of self-expression and secularity. I combine the micro and macro approaches to national identity by considering individual level characteristics (focusing on education) that are associated with national identity, and macro-level ones that might influence how micro-structural factors determine national identity. I theorize that in developed countries national identity decreases with higher levels of education but that in developing countries the levels of national identity are higher among the more educated. I use the fifth wave of the World Values Survey with 57 countries at all levels of development with data collected in 2005-2008. Matching the individual-level survey data with aggregate measures of economic development and political and cultural factors allows for multilevel analyses with cross-level interactions that link national identity and education in varied societal contexts. The results support my hypotheses and suggest that people's national identity is influenced by micro- and macro-structural factors, and that the levels of economic development, human development, and democracy have a facilitating effect on the negative influence of education on national identity that pushes this relationship even more into the negative territory for wealthier, more developed countries. The results for country-level variables related to culture are mixed but in their majority support my hypotheses and are theoretically explainable. Finally, I test my hypotheses by examining how people's education influences preferences for restrictive immigration policies across the countries of the world. This is a more practical application of the abstract concepts investigated in my dissertation. On the individual level, education decreases the preferences for restrictive immigration policies; on the country-level, it increases preferences for restrictive immigration policies, and on the micro/macro level higher economic development facilitates the negative influence of education on the preferences for restrictive immigration policies. These results confirm the links between education, national identity, and attitudes toward immigration. More research is needed, especially with regard to cultural factors (e.g., religion) influencing national identity on cross-national…

▼ This dissertation is the qualitative examination of incarcerated men's construction of masculinity across the life course through their experiences of victimization. Using data from thirty life history interviews with incarcerated men who were in a <i>
Colorado Department of Corrections rehabilitation</i> program called New Habits (NH), I examine the ways in which respondents developed what I term, <i>de-habilitated masculinity (DM)</i>. DM is a version of hyper-masculinity which is cumulatively developed across the life course in a social context of poverty and marginalization and it is initially learned in family systems in which extreme abuse and neglect are the primary and predominant modes of gender socialization. Findings demonstrate how DM is learned in the context of social marginalization and trauma within the family system, achieved during gang involvement, reinforced in the prison environment, and initially deconstructed at NH. I explore the ways in which DM renders boys’ and men’s victimization invisible and contributes to establishing a cycle of violence pathway into gangs and incarceration. The findings illuminate that, when provided with access to rehabilitative programming, incarcerated men have the potential to transform from de-habilitated boys into re-habilitated men. In bringing to light the victimization histories of male prisoners, the goals of this dissertation are to humanize male offenders, to balance society’s perspective of incarcerated men, and to examine the value of rehabilitative justice for the criminal justice system.

▼ This dissertation examines the State and cultural responses to sexual assault in two cultures: Ireland and the United States. As two former colonies of the United Kingdom, the U.S. and Ireland exemplify the complicated dynamic between post-colonial religious nationalism and sexual assault response. My data includes ethnographic research conducted over four years at two rape crisis centers (RCCs), including participant observation and sixty interviews with RCC management and advocates. I examine how governmental structures maintain economic control over anti-rape movements, which neutralizes the social threat posed by such activism. In both countries, RCC’s dependence on State complexes promotes a limiting definition of victimization that is dependent on institutional involvement. While previous research has attributed the homogenization of the anti-rape movement to neoliberal ideologies, using a transnational approach I find that gendered nationalism is a more appropriate framework from which to understand formal sexual assault response across cultures. The neoliberal U.S. Sexual Assault Response Complex (SARC) uses gender-neutrality and color-blind views of race within criminal-legal and medicalized models. The Irish welfare-capitalist SARC employs essentialized views of gender and race within an apolitical scheme. When rape is viewed as an individual rather than a gendered social problem, sexual abuse and rape culture proliferates within RCCs, taking nationalist patriarchal forms. Previous research conceptualized RCC institutionalization as a reluctant concession requisite to the continuation of services and the anti-rape movement. I find that centers utilize rhetoric of intersectionality and inclusiveness without examining the consequences of oppression within their organizational structures. State solutions for sexual assault require involvement with institutions that have been historically oppressive for people of Color, and ignore the legacy of racialized false accusations upon which U.S. nationalism is built. In Ireland, client-centered services function to maintain the cultural boundaries between who is a client to be served and who is not, which perpetuates racial and citizenship status hierarchies while reifying hegemonic constructions of violence. Diversity marginalizes clients and advocates alike, while supporting narratives of perpetration that protect the State. Rather than changing their organizational missions to align with the SARC transformations, both centers maintained their claims to anti-rape movement work. In so doing, the centers occupy the space of a social movement while marginalizing the possibilities for social change. As a result, expansions of State power move beyond surveillance into the prosecution of victims of sexual assault. I propose the development of transnational anti-rape justice models to address the complexity of the eradication of sexual abuse.

Mandatory Arrest Laws for Intimate Partner Violence: The Scales or the Swords of Justice?.

▼ Prior to the 1970s, society viewed intimate partner violence as a "private issue." As society's awareness of intimate partner violence grew, intimate partner violence emerged as an increasingly significant social problem. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, policy reform occurred in the form of mandatory arrest and pro-arrest policies, which offered police officers little discretion. The resulting "must arrest" requirement in mandatory arrest laws significantly impacts the lives of women arrested as perpetrators of intimate partner violence and police officers faced with making arrest decisions. I rely primarily on semi-structured interviews with both groups, supplementing this data with participant observation and official statistics, to examine: (1) how mandatory arrest laws are understood and experienced; (2) what consequences these laws generate; and (3) how the groups negotiate the consequences resulting from the laws. The analysis clearly reflects the pervasive effects of mandatory arrest laws on the daily lives of those most affected by them. The individuals in this study reported constructing, reconstructing, and working to make sense of who they are within the context of these laws. Additionally, this research demonstrates the importance of gender on the experiences of women arrested for a predominately male perpetrated crime as the female defendants in this study faced negotiating the consequences of arrest on their identities as "good women." Finally, this research points to the effectiveness of mandatory arrest laws as a short-term solution, but challenges their effectiveness in the long-term. Respondents from both groups overwhelmingly acknowledged that the challenges and complexities mandatory arrest introduces into relationships dissuades people from contacting police, because, for these people, the costs of arrest under mandatory arrest laws outweigh the benefits. Therefore, while mandatory arrest laws initially appear to decrease offender recidivism, in actuality, these laws prompt a return to re-privatization of intimate partner violence as people choose not to involve the state.

▼ This qualitative study explores narratives of youth affected by the BP oil spill in Bayou la Batre, Alabama, focusing on adolescents whose parents worked in commercial seafood and/or shipbuilding industries. The research draws on 40 face-to-face, in-depth interviews with youth; 40 informal interviews with adult informants (educators, and community leaders, mental health professionals); and more than 100 hours of participant observation. Findings contribute to our understanding of ways in which youth experience, make sense of, and cope with disasters, particularly in the case of technological disasters. Although many studies have focused on the ecological, economic, and social effects of technological disasters such as the BP oil spill on adults, few have specifically investigated the impacts of these events on children. Using an ecological-symbolic theoretical perspective, and drawing heavily on the sociological studies of children and disasters, I present an in-depth look at youth's post-disaster experiences. Specifically, findings explore youth's early perceptions concerning how the spill might affect themselves, their families, and their community in the more immediate aftermath of the spill, as well as their observations regarding how the actual impacts unfolded in the year following the disaster. Study results suggest that the concept of lifestyle change is a useful framework for examining disruptions of everyday routines and patterns that occurred in the aftermath of the disaster. This research focuses on two core lifestyle changes: ways in which changes in interviewees' parents' jobs affected the amount of time families spent together and ways in which closure of the Gulf of Mexico shifted family-centered recreational time. Lastly, findings highlight coping strategies (blame, distraction, and emotional processing) that youth employed in dealing with the disaster and its implications.

▼ This research examines how a faith-based simple living organization and its members, Simple Livers, navigate and give meaning to the idea of living a simple lifestyle within the context of their religious faith. Analyzing data from four years of participant observation, interviews, and textual analysis of organizational documents and drawing from symbolic interaction and social movement literature, especially the literature on lifestyle movements, I describe the ways Simple Livers produce and negotiate individual and organizational identities situated within systems of religion, race, class, gender and emotions. I examine the interplay of emotions with Christian and voluntary simplicity ideologies, which creates an over-conforming moral self, a distinctive identity that is rooted in the belief that a Simple Liver should be more moral than the general population. I also discuss participants’ boundary work and describe an intragroup boundary crisis, a situation that occurs when groups cannot create or maintain an organizational identity because of conflicting inclusive and exclusive boundaries at the individual level.

▼ This dissertation examines the role of media and media technologies in the polyamory movement from its emergence in 1984 until present day, 2016. Polyamory individuals and the media they produced have helped educate and support individuals within the polyamory community, as well as create external awareness and increase visibility in the public sphere. The shift from modern traditional communication technologies which fosters one-to-many communication models, to postmodern alternative new media technologies which utilize many-to-many communication models are mapped upon the changing social and cultural landscape as it pertains to identity formation, particularly as it relates to the shift in the relationship models of polyamory from a deconstructionist nuclear family model to a queering individualistic non-hierarchical model. Employing textual and discourse analysis of the archived material from the Kenneth R. Haslam Collection at The Kinsey Institute, as well as conducting semi-structured interviews of major polyamory media practitioners, this project illuminates the ways in which media have been strategically used to achieve public visibility and to counter mono-normative discourses that privilege monogamy as the normative.

When rape is viewed as an individual rather than a gendered social problem, sexual abuse and rape culture proliferates within RCCs, taking nationalist patriarchal forms.
Previous research conceptualized RCC institutionalization as a reluctant concession requisite to the continuation of services and the anti-rape movement. I find that centers utilize rhetoric of intersectionality and inclusiveness without examining the consequences of oppression within their organizational structures. State solutions for sexual assault require involvement with institutions that have been historically oppressive for people of Color, and ignore the legacy of racialized false accusations upon which U.S. nationalism is built. In Ireland, client-centered services function to maintain the cultural boundaries between who is a client to be served and who is not, which perpetuates racial and citizenship status hierarchies while reifying hegemonic constructions of violence. Diversity marginalizes clients and advocates alike, while supporting narratives of perpetration that protect the State. Rather than changing their organizational missions to align with the SARC transformations, both centers maintained their claims to anti-rape movement work. In so doing, the centers occupy the space of a social movement while marginalizing the possibilities for social change. As a result, expansions of State power move beyond surveillance into the prosecution of victims of sexual assault. I propose the development of transnational anti-rape justice models to address the complexity of the eradication of sexual abuse.

▼ As norms around sexual and gender identity shift, there has been an increase in the number of adolescents coming out as LGBT. A relatively new phenomenon, the study of LGBT-identified youth has largely been centered around risk and harm experienced by these vulnerable young people. Yet much of the research is focused on the experiences of LGBT-identified people whose identities are already understood as a given. Therefore, this dissertation aims to understand how a person
becomes LGBT-identified and examines how sexual and gender identities are social and historical formations, not biological facts. By exploring how adolescents in particular come to understand themselves as sexual and gendered beings, this work contributes to a larger understanding of the sociology of sexuality. Using a feminist ethnographic approach, I conducted participant observation at an LGBT youth drop-in center and 34 life-history interviews with LGBT-identified youths. By applying a queer theoretical framework to sociological concepts of identity formation, this research contributes to a more complex understanding of how compulsory heterosexuality and heteronormativity are powerful forms of social control in society. Themes include understanding the role gender atypicality plays in the formation of a gay identity, how processes of gender attribution shore up a binary gender order, how sexual minority youths pursue sexuality education that is representative of their experience via alternative forms of media, and how the queering of the family may result in positive coming out experiences for youth. Ultimately this research acknowledges the formation of boundaries between normal and queer and how these boundaries contribute to the sexual development of particular young people.

The Politics of Mediating Female Sexual Subjectivity: Feminist Pornography and the Production of Cultural Variation.

▼ Over the last thirty years, feminist pornography has steadily grown as a filmic genre that stands in opposition to the formulaic sexual discourse produced by the mainstream pornography industry. This emergent genre, known for its resistive interest in constructing diverse portrayals of female sexuality, operates at various controversial intersections—including feminism and pornography—and is slowly beginning to penetrate popular culture. This dissertation aims to account for a descriptive gap in porn studies and feminist media studies literature, and most importantly, works to theorize the cultural impact of this genre as a discursive attempt to mediate female sexuality within conventional constraints. Using a feminist/critical cultural studies framework, this qualitative study investigates negotiation and nuance through interviews with feminist directors of feminist pornography, interviews with female performers that work with both feminist and mainstream pornography directors, and focus groups with self-selected consumers in New York City and San Francisco. In general, this data reveals modes of developed spectatorship and media accounts that point toward normative viewing practices (i.e., online viewing) and negotiated reading patterns. Orientations toward feminism—as individually negotiated on the production set and during consumption—proved to be the driving force behind the praxis and pleasure situated within this genre. The enactment of consent, communication, and safety works as the core of this project, and sex positivity and third wave feminist discourse dictate the majority of performance and meaning. This dissertation concludes with a theoretical reflection on the cultural contribution of feminist pornography, and argues that production and consumption processes form a feminist performative heterotopia that offers a space for the negotiation of female sexual subjectivity.

Angry Abolitionists & The Rhetoric of Slavery: Minding the Moral Emotions in Social Movements.

▼ Although emotion is increasingly central in theories of social change, the sociology of social movements and emotion continues to have a mix-and-stir quality. Through a microanalysis of abolitionist discourse, this dissertation observes how the two are systematically intertwined by status claimsmaking processes. To better explore the affective dynamics of protest rhetoric through which `social movements move,' I construct a new synthetic theory of status as a moral-emotional resource, dependent upon cultural imaginaries and negotiated through rhetorical implicatures. Status-oriented moral emotions – including the egocentric and altruistic types of anger examined in this case study – can be aroused, altered, and rechanneled toward reform causes via dramaturgical claimsmaking. Moving beyond the predominance of logocentric accounts of immediatist abolitionism, I incorporate ethos and pathos to refer to the status implicatures of protest rhetoric (corresponding to ethos) and the provocative effects of these status implicatures (corresponding to pathos). As performed by prominent movement leaders, both means of status claimsmaking conditioned abolitionist charisma and reconditioned audience attitudes toward slavery. The ethos-pathos orientation of speakers though varied by race and gender, suggesting that `charisma' itself is a privilege structured by status hierarchies and relative risks of sanctioning. In spite of racialization and subordination within abolitionism, black activists persisted in protest through creative rhetorics, such as implicit symbolic surgery upon status-beliefs and summoning emotional energy from heterodoxic status imaginaries. The proposed framework accounts better for abolitionism's internal and external emotional dynamics, which were not always anteceded by discernible discursive shifts. Social movement theory therefore should be more mindful of the status-oriented moral emotions as well as how protest rhetoric mines them for social change.

▼ I analyze sexual identity formation and management among college-aged gay men as they navigate their way through a predominantly straight culture. Drawing from 42 in-depth, semi-structured interviews, I show some of the challenges men face managing their sexual identity in both physical and online spaces. First, I analyze how technology, specifically social media, has changed the ways in which gay men come out to others in addition to how gay men manage their sexual identity online. I then investigate ways in which internet technologies have changed patterns of social interaction among young gay men, particularly when it comes to seeking out romantic partners. I argue that the increase in online interaction is actually increasing public invisibility of gay men as the number of physical spaces that cater to gay men decline. Next, I examine the experiences these men have had with homophobia at different stages of their lives. Despite recent advancements in gay rights and increased visibility and perceived acceptance of gay people in various media outlets, homophobia continues to be pervasive in American culture. I then argue that the overall homophobic cultural discourse has led many men to internalize negative emotions about their gay identity. I analyze the ways in which some gay boys and men "try out" heterosexuality in hopes that they will discover that it is actually their true sexual identity. I also explore some of the ways in which men feel their sexual identity is a limiting factor in a predominantly heterosexual culture. This research allows for a richer, more detailed understanding of how gay men form and manage their identity in a society that is in part still characterized by institutionalized homophobia.

▼ This dissertation research is the primary sociological study of Iranian Baha’í refugees in the United States and lies at the intersection of trauma, immigration, religion, and gender. Using data from fifty in-depth qualitative interviews with first generation Iranian Baha’ís in the United States, I investigate how members of this religious minority community experience, respond to, and cope with the trauma of persecution, the experience of exile and the challenge of religious preservation in the aftermath of mass trauma. More specifically, using feminist methodologies, I analyze the Iranian Baha’ís’ experiences of persecution in Iran and their responses to it. Members of this group use passing, open displays of religiosity, or a combination of passing and open displays to negotiate their difficult social position in Iran. I examine how the Baha’ís escaped Iran and the sense of exile they experience when trying to find a place in the United States. Further, I demonstrate that the Iranian Baha’ís experience challenges in the immigration process, as a consequence of cultural differences between them and members of the host culture, racial and religious tensions, loss of status, and generational tensions. Lastly, I explore the role of national and religious identity, as well as religious observance, in the process of individual and collective identity development.
