Happy New Year BMT ❤️ I was wondering, given your focus of study, if you had any queer movies (or any media really) that you love and would be willing to recommend?

Hi @moonmoonloves and Happy New Year!

I remember I made a similar list last year, but I can't find it, so I did a new one 😅.

These are just a few of them, it's not very comprehensive. But I recommend searching for lists made on Mubi as well. They're quite good and you'll find a lot more. I took some inspiration as well because my memory is not that good.

I hope you'll watch and find interesting some of the films I compiled here.

My advice is to also look for other films made by these directors because some of them focused on similar themes in other films as well.

Todo sobre mi madre (Pedro Almodovar, 1999)

La mala educacion (Pedro Almodovar, 2004)

Cabaret (Bob Fosse, 1972)

Happy Together (Wong Kar Wai, 1997)

Lawrence Anyways (Xavier Dolan, 2012)

My Own Private Idaho (Gus Van Sant, 1991)

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975)

The Hadmaiden (Park Chan Wook, 2016)

Je, Tu, Il, Elle (Chantal Akerman, 1974)

Maurice (James Ivory, 1987)

The Hunger (Tony Scott, 1983)

My Beautiful Laundrette (Stephen Frears, 1985)

Velvet Goldmine (Todd Haynes, 1998)

Tomboy (Celine Sciamma, 2011)

Stranger by the Lake (Alain Guiraudie, 2013)

The Swimming Pool (Francois Ozon, 2003)

Paris is Burning (Jennie Livingston, 1990)

Water Lilies (Celine Sciamma, 2007)

My Summer of Love (Pavel Pawlikoswki, 2004)

Tom at the Farm (Xavier Dolan, 2013)

Pink Narcissus (James Bidgood, 1971)

Beau Travail (Claire Denis, 1999)

A Song of Love (Jean Genet, 1950)

Rebel Without A Cause (Nicholas Ray, 1955)

O Fantasma (Joao Pedro Rodriguez, 2000)

Victor/Victoria (Blake Edwards, 1982)

Farewell My Concubine (Chen Kaige, 1993)

Scorpio Rising (Kenneth Anger, 1963)

Cruising (William Friedkin, 1980)

Kiss of the Spider Woman (Hector Babenco, 1985)

Breakfast on Pluto (Neil Jordan, 2005)

Brothers of the Night (Patric Chiha, 2016)

Clan capitalism

Ukraine became independent in 1991 following a referendum in which more than 90% of voters voted in favor.[3] Until 2014, Russia accepted this result and recognized Ukraine’s existence in a sort of regime of “limited sovereignty”. Ukraine was tied to its larger neighbor by economic relations[4] and Russia was able to use its local clients to influence internal political development. The latter has long been turbulent.

The period of economic transition in which Ukraine followed, to some extent, the prescriptions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, quickly created a new capitalist class. At first, it was composed mainly of “red directors” (i.e., the managerial cadres of the Stalinist regime), and later also of broader layers – from the ranks of the technical intelligentsia, various parts of the state apparatus and the criminal underworld. The 1990s were a true Eldorado for this class, though often quite dangerous for its individual members. Using both legal and extralegal methods, it seized key enterprises and banks, which it either stripped of all assets or concentrated into giant holdings and investment groups. Profits were exported to tax havens. At the same time, it began to take control of the media and politics. Unlike its predecessors in the Stalinist nomenklatura, it also managed to integrate itself into the global capitalist class, at least in terms of the use of its consumption fund (yachts and luxury properties abroad, jets, as well as private investments in international financial markets).

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s real GDP per capita was in steady decline– up until 2000. Average life expectancy decreased from 70.5 (in 1989) to 67.7 years. Non-payment of wages,[5] work in the informal economy, and a decline in purchasing power became everyday realities for the Ukrainian working class. Although the numerous strikes, marches, hunger strikes, and blockades have managed to score some local successes (e.g., the payment of wage arrears, postponement of privatization, etc.), they failed to change the overall course or create a broader movement.

The story so far is not that different from the Russian one.[6] However, the centralization and consolidation that Putin implemented after the Asian financial crisis and the collapse of the ruble (1997–98) never took place in Ukraine. Putin gradually nationalized some energy companies, built a “power vertical”, whose backbone was formed by security service cadres and various personal friends, and subordinated the oligarchs to this structure. The latter has since overseen the distribution of rent derived mainly from fossil fuel extraction. Ukraine’s domestic capitalist class, by contrast, has remained divided into competing “clans” that are tied to specific sectors of the economy and geographic regions.[7] The rivalry between these factions of Ukrainian capital has been the basis of political instability.

The numerous movements of political protest which often also voiced social and welfare demands were always co-opted by a political project of one of the groups – either from the very beginning or gradually. The “Ukraine without Kuchma” (2001–2002) and “Arise, Ukraine!” (2002–2003) protests were directed against President Leonid Kuchma, involved in several scandals, including the murder of a journalist. The “Orange Revolution” (2004–2005) was in response to the electoral fraud of the then prime minister and presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych, as well as the suspicious privatization of Ukraine’s largest steelworks in Kryvyi Rih (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), in which Kuchma’s brother-in-law was involved along with the former Donetsk gangster, Rinat Akhmetov. The movement “Rise up, Ukraine!” (2013) opposed President Yanukovych and his attempts to consolidate power. Finally, the Euromaidan (2014) was a reaction to his decision not to sign the Association Agreement with the European Union. The most successful of these movements, the Orange Revolution, and the Euromaidan, may have led to a change of political leadership, but they did not significantly shake the position of the clans, let alone the clan system as such. Ultimately, they became a means of bringing another faction of the domestic business class to power.

The lumpen-capitalist competition, in which one or the other faction gained control of the state (and thus preferential access to loans, subsidies and contracts), explains, at least in part, why the state has failed to impose a long-term, viable development plan on the country. On the other hand, this unstable environment also left some room for the development of a resistant civil society, including independent trade unions, activist organizations, and the radical left.[8]

Russia maintained an influence over Ukraine through those sections of the local capitalist class that were materially interested in maintaining close relations – for example, in the interests of their own sales, favorable prices for inputs (especially, but not exclusively, energy inputs), or gas transfer fees. The capital base of this faction was mainly concentrated in the Donbas, the former industrial heartland of the Soviet Union, home to a large Russian-speaking population and the birthplace of the Stakhanovite “movement”. In the 1990s it was the scene of the bloodiest conflicts within the capitalist class, a center of organized crime – but also the epicenter of the tragedy of the “old” working class, especially the miners. Their mass strikes in the late 1980s and early 1990s helped destroy the Soviet regime and win Ukraine’s independence,[9] but after a wave of privatizations, asset stripping and bankruptcies, many found themselves with no jobs or prospects. Between 1992 and 2013, the population of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts fell by 1.7 million, declining at twice the rate of the rest of the country.[10]

- karmína,“the tragedy of the ukrainian working class” (2022)

_ _ _

[3] This was about 76% of all eligible voters. In Crimea, support for independence was the weakest, at around 54% of the vote. Similarly in Crimea’s Sevastopol, which was a separate constituency – 57%. In Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, however, almost 84% of those who voted were in favor of independence. Wikipedia summarizes the results in detail.

[4] As recently as 2013, imports from Russia accounted for 29% of total imports of goods; exports to Russia accounted for almost 23% of Ukrainian exports of goods. By 2020, both indicators had dropped to 11% and 6%, respectively (see oec.world). On the other hand, exports to the EU15 already accounted for a larger share of total Ukrainian exports than exports to Russia in 2002. Thus, the dependence of Ukrainian industry on Russian gas and oil has played a decisive role.

[5] A specific feature of the Ukrainian (as well as Russian) transition was that official unemployment never reached a level close to twenty percent, such as in Poland (2002) or Slovakia (2001). Workers in enterprises that ran into trouble remained formally employed but were not paid – although in many cases they continued to work. Sometimes they received payments in kind instead of cash.

[6] Of course, in many respects it is also reminiscent of the history of other former Eastern Bloc countries, including Slovakia.

[7] The history and structure of the “clans” is described in “The Oligarchic Democracy” by Sławomir Matuszak. See also “The Consolidation of Ukrainian Business Clans” by Viatcheslav Avioutskii.

[8] A peculiar phenomenon of political life in Ukraine was the emergence of a seriesof fake left-wing groups founded around 2000 by the same circle of people. These pseudo-organizations established contacts with foreign “internationals”, mainly of the Trotskyist variety, and lured material aid or money from them. It was enough to write that they identified with their political program and wanted to become a Ukrainian or Russian section. Despite personal meetings, it took three or four years for the foreign donors – delighted by the unexpected growth of the workers’ movement in the former Eastern Bloc – to discover that their “partners” were in fact political hucksters. The scandal had seriously damaged the international reputation of the Ukrainian left, though one may also pause at the credulity of Western leftists.

[9] On earlier strikes by Donbas miners for economic demands and democratization, see the documentary Perestroika from Below (1989). Later strikes had more explicit political demands, including national independence. See the interviews with strike leaders in Donetsk, as well as a brief documentary (with English subtitles). The history of miners’ protest from perestroika to 2000 is summarized in an essay by Vlad Mykhnenko subtitled “Ukrainian miners and their defeat”. See also the recollections of the Dnipro working-class militant, Oleg Dubrovsky, in a 1996 interview (in English), as well as his analysis of the process of privatization of the mining industry (in Russian).

[10] One of the consequences of the disintegration of the mining industry in the Donbas has been the growth of illegal mining in the so-called kopanki. A section of the 2005 documentary, Workingman’s Death, focuses on the phenomenon. The post-apocalyptic landscape of the Donetsk Oblast is depicted in the short documentary, Life After the Mine (2013).

This is a timeline of New Gods comics as I understand them. It's very brief and I've tried to include notes whenever previous canon got thrown out, but without getting into deeper explanations of why. I've also purposefully left out entries for the various Forever People, Mister Miracle and Orion runs, but I do mention them in the notes when they are relevant. Its been a struggle to piece it all together, so if you spot anything that needs correcting please let me know!

1971 - Original appearance in Jimmy Olsen by Kirby.

1971 - New Gods by Kirby alongside Forever People and Mister Miracle.

1972 - New Gods abruptly cancelled.

1977 - Return of the New Gods by Conway continuing Vol 1 numbering at #12.

1978 - RotNG cancelled in the DC implosion, so concluded in Adventure Comics #459-460.

1984 - New Gods #1-#6 reprinted. Kirby throws out Conway's run to instead begin his own conclusion at the end of #6.

1985 - Hunger Dogs Graphic Novel by Kirby concludes the story, though with production pressures and concessions.

1988 - Cosmic Odyssey by Starlin

1988 - New Gods Vol 3 started by Starlin, but primarily by Evanier, though re-ordered. Starlin references Cosmic Odyssey, Evanier mostly ignores Hunger Dogs.

1994 - Zero Hour by Jurgens (primary) and Simonson resets much of the overall timeline, and throws out a lot of New Gods Vol 3.

1995 - New Gods Vol 4 by Peyer and Pollack for #1-#11

1996 - New Gods Vol 4 continued by Byrne, largely written as picking up directly from Vol 1 #12 (implied that previous runs are no longer necessarily canon).

1997 - Genesis mini series by Byrne.

1997 - Jack Kirby's Fourth World by Byrne directly continues from New Gods Vol 4. This is somewhat continued in Simonson's Orion in 2000.

2007 - Death of the New Gods by Starlin, a companion to Countdown, ignores key elements of Seven Soldiers written by Morrison in 2005.

2008 - Final Crisis by Morrison and team picks up from Seven Soldiers, which contradicts some of Death of the New Gods.

2014 - Green Lantern/New Gods: Godhead crossover event by various writers. First major appearance post-Flashpoint.

2015 - The Multiversity Guidebook #1 by Morrison, not in sync with other appearances, so multiple versions of the New Gods exist rather than being singular and outside of the multiverse.

2015 - Justice League: Darkseid War by Johns leads into Rebirth

#new gods #fourth world #jack kirby #dc comics #its so hazy after n52 tbh #wild how literally every writer threw out the previous peoples work #only thing truly canon that they all agreed on is the original 1-11 lmao #didnt include major appearances in other titles bc tbh idk all of them #constructive feedback is welcome for anything glaring #katetakes #metronmeta #well new gods meta actually but same thing

Maj. Robert Lawrence Jr. was an Englewood native whose contributions to the U.S. Air Force and NASA helped young scholars achieve their dreams in science. Though his untimely death prevented him from flying out of Earth’s atmosphere, his name has reached as far as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. He is considered the first African American astronaut.

Lawrence graduated from high school from the Englewood Technical Preparatory Academy in 1952 at age 16. At 20, he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1956 from Bradley University in Peoria and was an AirForce Pilot who in 1965 earned his doctorate in chemistry from Ohio State University.

“We know he was a hard worker and he worked hours in the cafeteria while he was a cadette commander in order to put himself through school,” said Michelle Fry, department chair and associate professor of the Mund-Lagowski Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Bradley University.

For more than two decades, endowed scholarships and lectureships named for Lawrence have been given to minority chemistry and biochemistry students at Bradley, Fry said. As of 2022, there have been 21 recipients.

“More than one went to medical school; others have gone directly into the workforce, so all of them have accomplished a lot and we’re really proud of them,” Fry said.

Ethan Tyner, who majored in biochemistry and minored in biology at Bradley is one of the two recipients of the Lawrence Scholarship this year, a recognition he called inspiring.

“I gained this hunger to push and further myself, not just for my own good, but for the people that have come before me,” Tyner said. “People like Maj. Lawrence, who paved the path I now walk on.”

Lawrence was invited to join the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, which launched in 1965. The MOL mission was a joint project for the U.S. Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office to help capture high-resolution images of America’s Cold War adversaries.

The MOL program planned to have a series of mini space stations in low polar Earth orbit. The mission would be occupied by a two-man crew for 30 days at a time. Lawrence was accepted as a member of the third group.

Lawrence, who was 32, was training to be among the first Air Force astronauts. The idea was to help prepare military pilots to take high ground of space.

On Dec. 8, 1967, Lawrence went aboard a jet, the F-104 Starfighter, for training at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

He and a new flight instructor, Harvey Royer, were doing a trial on a technique called “flaring,” which is used when a pilot is preparing for landing.

While in flight, the new instructor tried the maneuver and both main gears collapsed. Lawrence and Royer we both ejected. Royer was severely hurt but survived the accident. Lawrence’s parachute did not fully deploy.

He was the sole trainee to be killed in the Air Force program.

In 1991, a monument created by the Astronauts Memorial Foundation honored 16 fallen astronauts by having their names engraved in the black granite Space Mirror Memorial.

Lawrence’s name was initially left out, and some cited discrimination.

It wasn’t until 1997, 30 years after Lawrence’s death, that his name was engraved. Since then, his name and legacy continued to be recognized.

In 2000, Lawrence was among 27 African American, Hispanic and Native American astronauts to have an asteroid named after them. Robertlawrence 92892, located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, was officially dedicated to Lawrence.

In 2020, a spacecraft that would deliver goods to NASA was named after him.

Though Lawrence may still be considered an unsung hero, his contributions to science inspire scholars who want to build upon the legacy he created.

“I want to continue that path so the next person after me has an even greater path to walk on,” Tyner said.
