Body, Power, Politics

I've been having fun drafting my syllabus for my Body, Power, Politics graduate seminar happening in the spring. This is still just a draft of the readings... We will think through the body through the lenses of psychoanalysis, affect theory, biopolitics, social reproduction theory, black feminism, queer theory, new materialism, posthumanism, disability studies, and black studies. (I'm honestly tempted to do a whole semester of Sylvia Wynter...)

Seems like grad students from across the university have gotten wind that I'm now on faculty... my class was full within hours of registration opening. Departmental administrator: "This is a first that a class is full on the first day of the registration period." Now I have an inbox of students requesting to be let into the class. What to do!

I know I asked you about the Bartlets in the Hunger Games AU before, but I need more! I LOVE this AU so much! 💜 Sooo many questions! Tell me more about the games that Abbey won? Is she also from District 2? What about her family? Oh and how did she and Jed meet and fall in love? 💜💜

The thing with Abbey Bartlet is that she’s like, the outlier that should not have been counted of District Two because Abbey, she was basically born hating every single thing about the games and the capital. Her parents (generally) got her to stop talking about this out loud before she started school but it was, I swear in her bones. Conversely she will also Fight People (like this tiny little girl beating up bullies is an absolutely real thing - Abbey is about two seconds away from stabbing at all times as a kid).

This is how she ends up in the Program at all. That and the fact that…either/or her parents were poor enough that it was the only way the family was going to get fed/they thought it would give her some direction and a way to conform. This…didn’t actually work, Abbey just got better at lying about it. She’d burn the whole edifice down without hesitation.

She stayed because well, what other option was there and also listen, Abbey is competitive and I think there’s a certain degree of ‘someone has to do this’

Hilariously, she actually meets Jed via Leo. I think. (I have all these thoughts about Jed and Leo being year mates/boyfriends that I have to think about). She meets Leo because well, Nancy McNally is both her and Leo’s mentor which is very funny because people absolutely tend to think of Nancy as Dutiful Patriot and she’s actually down to Stab People Just As Much, she’s just learned to play the game better. Which is a lot of conversations/sparring with Nancy about the whole thing.

Abbey’s games I don’t know much about but I do know that okay, Victors are District Royalty which means Jed’s dad can’t object but also he hates it. Abbey takes great delight in this entire thing.

Whenever I see a fan edit about CJ Craig on Tiktok, which, quite frankly, happens more often than one would think, I suddenly remember the time she cried about affirmative action on Air Force 1, because a Black woman got a job instead of her father… or the time she yelled at Nancy McNally about her position in a military campaign in a place where women were suffering greatly, and when Nancy didn’t budge, she said something along the lines of “you protested against apartheid, but I guess if the people don’t look like you, they don’t count.” I’m very much paraphrasing, but that was the gist, mind you, Nancy McNally is not the fucking President on this “liberal fantasy” show (where no liberal fantasies ever remotely happen btw lol). What I’m saying is, she’s not a feminist icon, she’s not even like a fair or nice person, but then again most characters on this show aren’t.

I’ve seen The West Wing many times, and I enjoyed it quite a bit for what it was, a soap set in the White House where people make pretty speeches, back when folks still combed their hair before work, but now that I know just how seriously people take it, and that it influenced actual politicians, and that folks genuinely believe that Aaron Sorkin has a progressive bone in his body, I can’t even deal with it anymore. Dude just doesn’t vote republican and he does coke a lot, that doesn’t mean he’s actually progressive lol. He doesn’t support unions. He doesn’t support affirmative action. When he said Hollywood didn’t have a diversity problem a year ago, he was shocked when people disagreed lmaoo. Come on now

HARTFIELD’S LANDING (2002 / 2020)

On the day before the New Hampshire primary, the President plays a game of diplomatic and military chess with the Chinese government over Taiwan while playing games of actual chess with Toby and Sam (on chessboards given him by the Prime Minister of India). Up in New Hampshire, the small town of Hartsfield's Landing is voting at midnight and Josh is determined that Bartlet not lose there. So Donna draws an assignment that gives new meaning to the phrase "retail politics."

Top 5 West Wing guest stars/recurring characters!

Ooh thanks for the question! <3 This isn’t particularly in order: 1. Ron Butterfield Ron’s just such a steady and comforting presence... the ideal professional and competent Secret Service director, yet with soft and compassionate vibes as well. I love that nothing too bad happened to him and that he was there throughout the whole series 2. Joey Lucas (+ Kenny Thurman) Another character I’m very grateful appeared throughout the whole series. She was just so fun and smart. I love her friendship with Josh and that it continued to the point he involved her in the Santos campaign when he was isolated from everyone else. Kenny has a similar energy to Ron Butterfield of being both very professional and very lovely, it would have been fun to get to know him better but I also liked that he was just there as such a reliable friend and support for Joey and everyone else. Although my favourite Joey Lucas scene is probably actually the one without Kenny, when she and Josh talk at the airport in 2x20! 3. Nancy McNally Actually I think Nancy also has the same vibe I’m talking about with all these recurring characters... consummate professionalism combined with real kindness and compassion (and she’s another character I’m grateful nothing happened to). I love her scene with Sam in 2x16 as well as her general dry humour and strong presence. 4. Ellie Bartlet She’s so sweet and I love her complicated but loving relationship with Jed... I love the balance between her being shy and unsure and yet being able be brave and do her press conference and stand up to her president dad for what’s right with the Surgeon General for example. She stands out as quite unique for being less outwardly confident than almost every other character in the show, but she owns it.

5. Colin Ayres Maybe a controversial choice idk? But knowing comfortably Josh/Donna was endgame, I liked Colin and I kind of wanted/expected them to do a bit more with him (like everything about Gaza tbh...) and had been wondering if he would show up again (at least Josh kept mentioning him which I liked!). I feel like at least one of Donna’s relationships could have had a bit of a longer staying power, even Jack (who was definitely my least fave compared to Colin and Cliff, though I adore his interactions with Josh in Arctic Radar) became told not shown after he and Donna got together and through their break up lol. But I guess the show wasn’t actually just about Donna’s love life... Honorable mentions: Stanley Keyworth, Admiral Fitzwallace, Ginger, Margaret, Ronna Beckman, Joe Quincy (this is probably just my weakness for Chandler talking... the inevitable day I give into watching Studio 60 for him and Brad creeps ever closer) Put “top 5” anything in my ask!

CJ: We don't need it. We've got Turkey, we've got Bahrain, we've got Diego Garcia. Qumar's convenient. NANCY: Yes, it's convenient. CJ: They beat women, Nancy. They hate women. The only reason they keep Qumari women alive is to make more Qumari men.

Nancy walking into the situation room and immediately making a manservant get her an outfit cos the fit wasn't right is iconic I love her
