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.

这个跨国的，跨学科的，女权主义的恢复项目探讨了“熏衣草恐慌”，美国政府对同性恋者的冷战迫害，如何影响了国家安全边界之外的公民。本书将探讨“道德清洗”是如何延伸到艺术和文学领域的。我将以《纽约客》杂志的畅销书《来自巴黎的信》的作者珍妮特·弗兰纳为案例，分析艺术家和知识分子是如何因为不顺从的信仰和身份而同时被同化的，同时又在文化冷战中被用作美国政府的工具。从弗兰纳的出版作品和私人记录，《纽约客》的大量档案，以及美国和法国政府的来源，我将研究弗兰纳如何通过发展一种与新新闻主义密切相关的写作风格来战略性地应对这些限制，这归因于十多年后出现的男性主导的佳能。
