BORN IN FLAMES (1983) dir. Lizzie Borden In near-future New York, 10 years after the “social-democratic war of liberation”, equality remains unfulfilled. When Adelaide Norris, the black revolutionary founder of the Woman’s Army, is mysteriously killed, a diverse coalition of women—across all lines of race, class, and sexual orientation—emerges to blow the system apart.

“Ava Roe” (USA 1981–1985)

A study of maternal deaths in North Carolina attempted to count and analyze all the maternal deaths (including abortion fatalities) in the state from 1981 to 1985. One of them was “Ava Roe,” whose death was undoubtedly preventable.

Two weeks after an elective first-trimester abortion procedure, Ava went to a doctor suffering from a low-grade fever and abdominal pain. The doctor treated her for a pelvic infection. Ten hours later, Ava was dead.

The autopsy found something that both Ava’s doctor and the abortion facility had missed. Her pregnancy was ectopic. The abortion facility apparently hadn’t examined her adequately and had sent her home to bleed to death.

Despite being rightfully counted as an abortion-related death in the study, Ava would have been excluded from any CDC statistics on maternal deaths from abortion. No matter how negligent the abortionist was, deaths from ectopic pregnancy after attempted abortion are not counted in the CDC’s abortion data.

Sadly, Ava’s death wasn’t an anomaly. Other women who died because an abortion facility failed to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy include Yvette Poteat, Doris Grant, Laura Sorrels, Tia Archeiva Parks, Brenda Vise, Lynette Wallace, Sherry Emry, Josefina Garcia, Claudia Caventou, Magnolia Reed Thomas, Angela Satterfield, Gladyss Estanislao, Janyth Caldwell, Barbara Dillon, Barbara Auerbach and Nancy Hopper.

It’s important to note that although the study tried to perform a comprehensive count of all maternal deaths (including those that were abortion-related) in the state between 1981 and 1985, they did not successfully do so. No case was recorded matching Norma Jean Greene, who died from a legal abortion in 1981. It is unknown how many others may have also been missed.

Political Engagement

Have you ever wondered about what is politic and political engagement is? If yes, lets take a minutes to get to know what is politic and what did they do.

gift from Tenor

What is politic? As we know, politic is one of the most popular topics in the world. Why?? The British Academy, Professor Christina Boswell FBA stated that politics is something that is necessary about sorting out the argument over the giving out the things (Boswell, 2020). In a general way, politics is a communication between communities, organisations or even individuals that look forward to achieve the option about doing a collaborative choice or find a solution for some collaborative problem. As political are involve in governments, these communications become their primary focus in political science (Rom et al.).

Now what is political engagement? According to Carole Jean, political engagement is a voluntary activities handle by a bunch of public to give impact public policy, either directly or by affecting the selection of persons who make policies (Uhlaner, 2015).

Meanwhile, world bank define political engagement as the involvement of communities in voting and allows the leader who have power in government, as well as become part of competitor for leadership (n.d.).

Who is the main user of social media?

Based on the global demographics above, we can say that aged 20-29 are the most users of social media. The previously mentioned group is about 31.8% worldwide amount of social media users. Most of these users are male which is about 17.5% compare to female, only 14.3%. Second higher group is users aged 30-29, with 21.9%. Same as the previous group, the majority users are male with 12.1% and just 9.8% are female. The third higher group is aged 13-19 with 12.7% and 10% for users aged 50-59 in social media. The lowest users is aged 60 and above with 8.6%. From this demographics research, we can tell that the older that person, the lesser their spent time on social media. This might because young-adults is likely social media as a source of all the information. On the other hand, the senior citizens is doubtful and still prefer old method such as television (Oberlo, 2023).

How social media affects politics?

Gif from Pinterest

According to (Satterfield, 2020), as internet became more useful these days, same goes to the politics. To be specific, social media is now a become major factor in political movements and in the way people think about issues.

Participants and their followers frequently share their thought on social media such as X (previously was known as Twitter) and Facebook account. Every politic parties will requests for donations and spread propaganda through their own pages. Lets take a look on how social media can give impact politics nowadays.

Demographics and targeting

To make sure that messages and ads grasp the right audience, objective is used all over the advertising the advertising corporation. For example, if a participant aims for a group of voters, women's concerns, college students or elderly people, they can now create their messages. Participants and politicians are able to use their targeted advertising and analytics just like some ads on Facebook. Therefore, it is not a coincidence if you aware that political message seem to be speak to you directly.

2. News around the clock

Poll results, shared rumor and news haste on social media is one of the way that caused the politics transformed. While during the previous days, to get the latest news, citizens waited for TV news show or the next newspaper. Meanwhile via online, we can get the latest news 24/7. Most citizen spend extra time on X and Facebook compare to how they do on political sites or serious news. In the words, whenever you logon your social media account, you will automatically get all of the people's thoughts or the latest viral news on social media.

3. The impact of polls

The internet really gave a huge impact by increasing the amount of poll results to the political news. Social media play their part to accelerated this very well. Polls results also give a huge impact on elections. Such as, if people think one participant is already far ahead in the contest, they may conclude the other participants will be pointless voting for the loser. It will a big deal of tension on participants to move forward of their competitor when netizen start to post the latest poll results.

Film after film: Born in Flames (dir. Lizzie Borden, 1983)

A politically crucial and artistically impressive entry in the US and/or queer cinema canon, Borden's film encapsulates anger at (mostly) white heterosexism and misanthropy, spreading outside of its original context.

Born In Flames

Director Lizzie Borden Stars Honey, Adele Bertei, Jean Satterfield USA 1983 Language English 1hr 20 mins Colour (with some b&w)

Revolting against the revolution

I’ve been watching subcultural movies from the early 1980s, and I guess radical lesbian feminism/womanism could fit into that description. Born In Flames certainly feels like a collision of various types of cultural ferment, with cast members bringing histories in political activism, left-field music and conceptual art. 

Director Lizzie Borden describes it as ‘science fiction’ but it’s not exactly the kind of sci-fi most people would think of, being shot in what in almost every way is identifiable as early 1980s NYC. The set-up is that the events take place during the 10th anniversary of the War of Liberation that brought a social democratic government to power in the US. But as this landmark comes to pass, various sections of society are feeling that they have been short-changed by the revolution. 

The more marginalised you were to begin with, the less you seem to have gained. So one of our central figures is Adelaide Norris (Jean Satterfield), who is black, female and a lesbian. Adelaide is involved in the women’s army, which – despite its name – at the start of the movie is more like a feminist equivalent to the Guardian Angels, protecting women on the streets and in the subways from harassers. But that’s enough to bring Norris to the attention of the authorities, whose discussions about her and the results of their surveillance we see. 

I’m aware that the plot description makes Born In Flames sound like a much more conventional movie than it is. Chunks of it could be/are? a documentary about the issues facing women in 1982: there are multiple scenes of discussion groups, plus footage of what I think are real demonstrations with the actors present. Interspersed with this we have the more action-y scenes of the women’s army and other groups, plus two radical and presumably illegal radio stations, one black and one white. 

The voices of these radio stations – Honey (Honey) and Isabel (Adele Bertei) – are the most charismatic presences in the movie. About Honey I know nothing – she seems to be one of the many people Borden found for this movie.

Bertei, on the other hand, is a classic figure of alternative New York* of the late 1970s and early 1980s: musician, actor, later filmmaker and author, and she’s excellent here. 

A more surprising presence in the cast, unless you already know about her history as a member of the concept art collective Art & Language, is future Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow.

On a political level, it’s interesting that at the height of Reaganism, Borden chose instead to make the oppressive government in her story a notionally left-wing one failing to live up to its promises.

But I think the most important thing I can say about Born In Flames is that considering it is a film containing so much unfiltered debate about the struggle, is it is fun. Every time you feel it might be getting bogged down, we get a zippy montage set to the relentless, catchy theme tune (the work of another Art & Language associate, Mayo Thompson). Seriously, if you don’t mind something that’s rough and ready and has lots of non-professional actors in it, Born In Flames is very entertaining, as well as a fascinating slice of the very alternative 1980s that often now gets lost under the padded shoulder and wads of cash cliches. 

*Although, like Jim Jarmusch and The Dead Boys etc, she was originally from Ohio.

Δευτέρα, 5 Ιουνίου στις 8:30 μ.μ. - 11 μ.μ.

The plot concerns two feminist groups in New York City, each voicing their concerns to the public by pirate radio. One group, led by an outspoken white lesbian, Isabel (Adele Bertei), operates "Radio Ragazza". The other group, led by a soft-spoken African-American, Honey (Honey), operates "Phoenix Radio." The local community is stimulated into action after a world-traveling political activist, Adelaide Norris (Jean Satterfield), is arrested upon arriving at a New York City airport, and suspiciously dies while in police custody. Also, there is a Women's Army led by Hilary Hurst (Hilary Hurst) and advised by Zella (Flo Kennedy) that initially both Honey and Isabel refuse to join. This group, along with Norris and the radio stations, are under investigation by a callous FBI agent (Ron Vawter). Their progress is tracked by three editors (Becky Johnston, Pat Murphy, Kathryn Bigelow) for a socialist newspaper, who go so far they get fired. The story involves several different women coming from different perspectives and attempts to show several examples of how sexism plays out, and how it can be dealt with through direct action. A famous scene is one during which two men are attacking a woman on the street and dozens of women on bicycles with whistles come to chase the men away and comfort the woman. The women in the movie have different ideas about what can and should be done, but all know that it is up to them, because the government will not take care of it. The movie shows women organizing in meetings, doing radio shows, creating art, wheatpasting, putting a condom on a penis, wrapping raw chicken at a processing plant, etc. The film portrays a world rife with violence against women, high female unemployment, and government oppression. The women in the film start to come together to make a bigger impact, by means that some would call terrorism. Ultimately, after both radio stations are suspiciously burned down, Honey and Isabel team up and broadcast "Phoenix Ragazza Radio" from stolen moving vans. They also join the Women's Army, which sends a group of terrorists to interrupt a broadcast of the President of the United States proposing that women be paid to do housework, followed by bombing the antenna on top of the World Trade Center to prevent additional such destructive messages from the mainstream. 

Η υπόθεση αφορά δύο φεμινιστικές ομάδες στην πόλη της Νέας Υόρκης, όπου ο καθένας εκφράζει τις ανησυχίες τους στο κοινό από το πειρατικό ραδιόφωνο. Μια ομάδα, με επικεφαλής μια ειλικρινή λευκή λεσβία, η Isabel (Adele Bertei), λειτουργεί το "Radio Ragazza". Η άλλη ομάδα, με επικεφαλής τον Αφρικανό Αμερικανό, με το όνομα Honey (μέλι), λειτουργεί το "Phoenix Radio". Η τοπική κοινότητα παροτρύνεται να δράσει μετά από μια παγκόσμια ταξίδια πολιτικού ακτιβιστή Adelaide Norris (Jean Satterfield), συνελήφθη κατά την άφιξή του σε αεροδρόμιο της Νέας Υόρκης και υποψιάζεται ότι πεθαίνει υπό κράτηση από την αστυνομία. Επίσης, υπάρχει ένας γυναικείος στρατός με επικεφαλής τον Hilary Hurst (Hilary Hurst) και συμβουλεύτηκε η Zella (Flo Kennedy) ότι αρχικά τόσο το Honey όσο και η Isabel αρνούνται να ενταχθούν. Αυτή η ομάδα, μαζί με τον Norris και τους ραδιοφωνικούς σταθμούς, βρίσκονται υπό έρευνα από έναν σκληρό πράκτορα του FBI (Ron Vawter). Η πρόοδό τους παρακολουθείται από τρεις συντάκτες (Becky Johnston, Pat Murphy, Kathryn Bigelow) για μια σοσιαλιστική εφημερίδα, οι οποίοι πηγαίνουν μέχρι τώρα να απολύονται. Η ιστορία περιλαμβάνει πολλές διαφορετικές γυναίκες που προέρχονται από διαφορετικές οπτικές γωνίες και επιχειρεί να δείξει αρκετά παραδείγματα για το πώς λειτουργεί το σεξισμό και πώς μπορεί να αντιμετωπιστεί με άμεση δράση. Μια διάσημη σκηνή είναι αυτή κατά την οποία δύο άντρες επιτίθενται σε μια γυναίκα στο δρόμο και δεκάδες γυναίκες σε ποδήλατα με σφυρίχτρα έρχονται για να κυνηγήσουν τους άνδρες μακριά και να παρηγορήσουν τη γυναίκα. Οι γυναίκες στην ταινία έχουν διαφορετικές ιδέες για το τι μπορεί και πρέπει να γίνει, αλλά όλοι γνωρίζουν ότι εξαρτάται από αυτούς, επειδή η κυβέρνηση δεν θα το φροντίσει. Η ταινία δείχνει ότι οι γυναίκες οργανώνουν συναντήσεις, κάνουν ραδιοφωνικές εκπομπές, δημιουργούν τέχνη, σιτάρι, βάζουν προφυλακτικό σε ένα πέος, τυλίγουν ωμό κοτόπουλο σε ένα εργοστάσιο επεξεργασίας κλπ. Η ταινία απεικονίζει έναν κόσμο γεμάτο βία κατά των γυναικών, Κυβερνητική καταπίεση. Οι γυναίκες στην ταινία αρχίζουν να έρχονται μαζί για να έχουν μεγαλύτερο αντίκτυπο, με την έννοια ότι ορισμένοι θα αποκαλούσαν τρομοκρατία. Τελικά, αφού και οι δύο ραδιοφωνικοί σταθμοί υποψιάζονται καυσαρισμένοι, η Honey και η Isabel συνεργάζονται και μεταδίδουν το ραδιοφωνικό σταθμό Phoenix Ragazza από κλεμμένα κινούμενα φορτηγά. Επίσης συμμετέχουν στον Στρατό των Γυναικών, ο οποίος στέλνει μια ομάδα τρομοκρατών για να διακόψει την εκπομπή του Προέδρου των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών, προτείνοντας να δοθούν οι γυναίκες στις οικιακές εργασίες και να βομβαρδίσουν την κεραία πάνω από το Παγκόσμιο Κέντρο Εμπορίου, Μηνύματα από το mainstream.
