This transnational, interdisciplinary, feminist recovery project explores how the "Lavender Scare", theCold War persecution of gays and lesbians by the US government, impacted citizens beyond nationalsecurity borders. It will investigate how "morality purges" extended into the world of Arts and Letters.Using Janet Flanner, author of the popular "Letter from Paris" for the New Yorker magazine as a casestudy, I will analyse how artists and intellectuals were simultaneously tyrannised for non-conformingbeliefs and identities, while also being used as instruments of the US government in the Cultural ColdWar. Drawing together vital evidence from Flanner's published work and private records, the NewYorker's vast archive, and US and French government sources, I will examine how Flanner strategicallyresponded to these constraints by developing a style of writing that closely aligns with New Journalism, agenre attributed to a male-dominated canon which emerged over a decade later.

这个跨国、跨学科、女权主义的复苏项目探索了“薰衣草恐慌”，即美国政府对同性恋的冷战迫害，是如何影响到国家安全边界以外的公民的。我将以《纽约客》杂志广受欢迎的《巴黎来的信》的作者珍妮特·弗兰纳为例，分析艺术家和知识分子是如何同时因为不顺从的信仰和身份而受到专制的，同时还被用作美国政府在文化冷战中的工具。我将从弗兰纳出版的作品和私人记录、《纽约客》庞大的档案以及美国和法国政府的消息来源中收集重要证据，研究弗兰纳如何战略性地应对这些限制，发展出一种与新新闻主义密切一致的写作风格，这一时期被认为是十多年后出现的男性主导的经典。
