Abstract:
"This thesis explores issues of gender and power dynamics through mechanisms of abjection and humor. It is a call to arms, reasserting a strident feminist stance within American culture. The works operate as manifestos calling for equality and compassion, giving agency and empowerment to voices under-heard with specific emphasis on women and the LGBTQ community. Using autobiographical disasters as the narrative point of departure, presented are works addressing issues of intimacy, isolation, frustration, anger, and repression. Humor acts as a vessel to deliver of hard sugarcoated dose of social and cultural critique."
