SUMMARY:The Many Mrs. Maisels - The History of Jewish Female Stand-Up Comedians
DESCRIPTION:Before The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\, there was a long history of Jewish female comedians\, standing up and speaking out. Although stand-up comedy is often described as a ‘boys’ club\,’ the truth is that there have always been influential women on the scene. Alongside Jewish male comics like Groucho Marx\, Lenny Bruce\, Jack Benny\, and Jerry Seinfeld\, there were pioneering Jewish female stand-ups like Jean Carroll\, Joan Rivers\, Totie Fields\, and Sarah Silverman\, offering their inimitable insights on the experience of being a Jew—and a woman—in the United States. From tackling double standards to deflating stereotypes like the “Jewish American Princess\,” Jewish female stand-up comedians have made major contributions to the way that American audiences have seen Jewish women—and the way that Jewish women have seen themselves. \nPresented by Grace Overbeke\, assistant professor in the theatre department at Columbia College. Her academic focus is in comedy studies and has been published in Shofar: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies\, Theatre Topics\, Theatre Annual\, The New England Theatre Journal\, Theatre Survey\, Studies in American Humor\, and The Jewish Forward. She holds a BA in theatre and English from Wesleyan University and an MA and PhD. from Northwestern University in theatre and drama. \nThe Faye Sigman Woman of Valor Lecture is made possible by the generosity of the Taxman and Temkin families. \nThis is a hybrid event with both an in-person and virtual option. Free but registration required at https://wisconsin-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_MA66E_0MQU2q8Ftf05k99g#/registration \nCosponsored by UWM’s Departments of English and Women’s and Gender Studies; and programs in Digital Arts and Culture; Film Studies; and Journalism\, Advertising\, and Media Studies

SUMMARY:Global Studies seminar: Making a Splash: Women Cartoonists in France
DESCRIPTION:In her talk “Making a Splash: Women Cartoonists in France\,” Dr. Cynthia Laborde will focus on the impact of women cartoonists/graphic novelists in France in the 21st century. She will trace how this new generation has been making their own rules and claiming their space in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Her analysis will focus on the socially and politically engaged aspects of their work\, concentrating especially on how they approach issues related to women. She will demonstrate that comics as a medium are able to articulate and disseminate feminist perspectives in new ways\, and that artists (such as Pénélope Bagieu and Emma\, among others) are having a real-life impact\, as the lines become more and more blurred between the individual and the artist via social media. \nCynthia Laborde is an assistant professor of modern languages at the University of Texas at Arlington. She holds a PhD from the University of Iowa (2015) and an MA in language\, literature and translation from UWM (2010). \nThis event is partially funded by the U.S. Department of Education Title VI NRC Grant. \nThis event will be followed later in the day by the opening film of the 26th annual UWM Festival of Films in French\, February 17-26\, 2023. Please join us there as well! \nWhile at UWM\, Dr. Laborde will also present a French immersion workshop\, “Enseigner (avec) les bandes dessinées en français/Teaching (with) graphic novels and comic in French\,” on Saturday\, February 18\, 1:00-4:00 pm. Free but registration is required. See that event on the calendar for more details.
