They Say Where There’s Smoke, There\u27s Fire; but Sometimes it\u27s a Self-Induced Fire : Understanding Claims of Unequal Treatment Among Mexican-American Officers in the Los Angeles Police Department
Get PDFServing as an ethnographic case study and utilizing qualitative interviews, this study focuses on Mexican-American police officers and their perceptions of claims of unequal treatment based on race/ethnicity from other officers. The study finds that officers ideologically stand firmly against racism and discrimination. When non-overt claims of unequal treatment based on race/ethnicity are encountered, officers develop negative perceptions of claiming officers. Officers revert to individualized, merit-based, and other colorblind justifications to interpret and dismiss the claims. It is argued that given the lack of the overt nature of most claims today, facilitated by the most common occupational context in which the topic of race is encountered (with the community), this provides the foundation for interpreting claims of unequal treatment based on race/ethnicity among other officers
No Place: The Queer Utopia of Liminality
Get PDFMy proposal is a paper on the inherent queerness of the liminal in Jeff Vandermeer’s works, through examples such as the transitional narrative present in the transformation of the Biologist in Annihilation. Especially pertinent is the inherent fighting of Yonic/Phallic imagery happening between her interpretation of a concrete structure as a tower as opposed to a tunnel, which is important to understanding how the Biologist’s trans-masculinity manifests symbolically in the narrative as antithesis to the other cis women on the expedition. Vandermeer’s liminal space in Dead Astronauts also connects to the characters of Moss, a non-binary life form who exists simultaneously across the multiverse; Grayson, an astronaut who was stranded alone in space for decades after the death of her planet while she was on a mission; and Chen, a worker for The Company who is taught by Moss to break their body apart into different objects and elements constantly fighting against their body’s want to dissolve and separate. All three characters embody a different kind of liminality: only their mutual overt love for one another keeps them existing in the between states
