ABSTRACT This paper examines aunties as South Asia’s salient pornographic product. Aunties, whether in pornography or more mainstream South Asian cultural production, are usually coded through visual associations with the home or sartorial conventions such as the sari. The inclusion of “aunty” in netporn video titles and search tags renders aunty a metadata category that imposes auntyness on a wider range of sexualized bodies and practices. Through an examination of porn-performer Lily Singh (“Horny Lily”) and aunty-themed adult web series, we argue that “aunting” in South Asian porno-cultures is a mode produced through the interaction between metadata, text, and performance.

ABSTRACT White Canadian Simon and Martina Stawski’s Eat Your Kimchi vlog complicates the interpretation of YouTube fandom as counter-hegemonic. Combining performance studies and media studies, we suggest “white-expat-fans” to explicate their racialized, spatialized and fannish negotiation and (dis)identification with K-pop. As fans, they identify with K-pop and subordinate themselves to its singers. As expatriates lived in South Korea and fulltime bloggers, they are responsive to local culture and financially rely on K-pop fans locally and globally. As whites, they parody, mock, and pathologize K-pop as a feminized Oriental Other and reclaim racial privilege, compensating their feeling of marginalization from spatial and fannish orientations.

ABSTRACT For creatives, scholars, and social practitioners, how we attend to theory and practice are of great consequence. This essay is a performative exercise that shows my relationship with theory at work—offering a practical approach and a look into the sweats and spinning we might do as we engage with textual theory. This is opposed to locking the worldviews in place artificially. Given the messy, ever-changing nature of tethering theory and practice, I present an approach for reformatting text on the page, allowing for temporalities of coming to understand theory, and taking up space with embodied personal experience.

ABSTRACT In this essay, I draw on my diasporic queer aunting experiences in dialogue with observations of embodied homemaking pedagogies to think about the aunt—specifically the Greek theía—as a guidance manual. Understanding manuals beyond written instructions, as performances that create “guidelines” to live by, I elaborate on queer autoethnography that incorporates auntieness into self-narration and analysis. Describing how I become a queer aunt, I show how aunts may serve as queer manuals that teach us to engage with heterostatic conventions of “success” and “failure” only to learn how to destabilize them from within. I frame this method as au(n)to-ethnography.

ABSTRACT Caribbean writers use the full array of relationships the word “aunt” signifies to formulate new ways of representing subjectivity. The Aunt's ubiquity in Caribbean literature offers critics fresh theoretical perspectives from which to account for the choices Caribbean writers make. The essay introduces the term “Amital Queer” to characterize how Dionne Brand uses aunts in her “Dialectics” poems and Hilton Als embraces the role of auntie man in The Women, to enable a critique of heteronormativity. I argue that the figure of the aunt stands in for the artists when they claim their space as speaking subjects.

ABSTRACT Practically Perfect is a two-person show about our experiences growing up Queer and trying to be perfect. It is a performance experiment through which we analyzed our memories of mediated LGBTQI+ characters and by which we document our research on the material impact those media representations had on our Queer identity building. Through Practically Perfect, we theorize performance methods as survival tactics for Queer adolescents in the process of identity building. Further, we assert that it is through the performance of coming-of-age personal narratives that we rewrite our traumas, relearn behaviors, and re-member new ways to grow up Queer.

ABSTRACT In this response, I parse through definitions of practically, practice, and perfect in order to understand potential queer possibilities present in Ariel Kizer and Ethan Hunter’s Practically Perfect. I argue that understanding practice and its orientation towards perfection reshapes the queer relationship to failure.

ABSTRACT This article investigates how the term ciota (aunty) was employed in mainstream media in the 1990s to exclude some gay men from visibility politics, and also how it was appropriated to counter these exclusions. The social, economic, and political changes of the 1990s disadvantaged “aunties” who were accused of hindering emancipation. I argue that ciota became what Judith Butler refers to as the “constitutive outside” to the masculine, restrained, and monogamous gay man. However, when given voice in the media, aunties presented gay femininity and cruising as a historic or even noble tradition, thus troubling the dominant condemnatory narrative.
