The event is called &#8220;Status and Spectacle: Stagings of Gender, Race, and Class in U.S. Popular Culture&#8221; and I wish I could teleport and attend.  The poster they sent me has this amazing image of the Hollywood Canteen for Service Men, white service men casually strolling in on one side, &#8220;colored&#8221; service men rigidly lined up on the other, waiting, it seems for the white boys to go in.  Among the topics to be covered: southern culture, white manhood, and the 1956 assault of Nat &#8220;King&#8221; Cole; Gretchen Wilson and the country rhetoric of the &#8220;virile female&#8221;; and clashing configurations of class, race, gender, rank, and celebrity at the Hollywood Canteen.<\/p>\n<p>(The event will take place from 4-6pm at the Michigan Union, for those in the area!
