Above 9 all, this work demonstrates that variability in sexual expression is not solely a modern 30 phenomenon. Sexuality has been an important and changing ingredient of human social 1 life for thousands of years. 2 This pioneering volume will serve both as a valuable reference text for archaeologists 3 pursuing similar studies, and as the essential introduction to sexuality studies for archae- 4 ologists who have not explored the topic before. 5 6 Robert A.

  • A Private Underworld: the Naked Body in Law and Society
    A Private Underworld: The Naked Body in Law and Society LAWRENCE M. FRIEDMAN † JOANNA L. GROSSMAN †† INTRODUCTION Like millions of United States travelers, John Brennan was fed up with the indignity and hassle of airport security screening procedures. After being patted down, the security officer referred him for further screening; the officer detected nitrates on Brennan’s clothes. Something inside Brennan snapped; and he stripped off every stitch of clothing, to prove he was harboring no explosives. As he stood naked in the Portland airport, police arrived and hauled him off in handcuffs. Brennan, a veteran of an annual naked bike ride, insisted he had done nothing wrong. Nudity was an act of protest, he claimed, protected by the First Amendment. After a brief trial in July 2012, a judge agreed with Brennan and dismissed the charge of public indecency. 1 There was precedent for his argument about nudity as a form of protest; and, in any event, the local law on public indecency only prohibited the exposure of genitalia if done “with the intent of arousing the sexual desire of the person or another person.” 2 Arousing †.

  • General Editors' Introduction
    General Editors’ Introduction SUSAN STRYKER and PAISLEY CURRAH ince the 1990s, many academic disciplines and areas of interdisciplinary S scholarship have experienced what’s come to be known as the “archival turn.” As visual resources documentarian Cheryl Simon noted as early as 2002, this turn represents, in part, “the emergence of an evidentiary aesthetic in the information age” (Simon 2002: 101), a period within which, she contends, vastly expanded digital data storage and communication networks have seemingly flattened time and collapsed space in the direction of an eternal here and now. Under such conditions, archive can become a fetish for the perhaps nostalgic notion of a specific and locatable past. As Martin Heidegger had remarked decades earlier, in surveying the immediate post–World War II technocultural landscape of Europe: All distances in time and space are shrinking. Man . now receives instant information, by radio, of events which he formerly learned about only years later, if at all. Distant sites of the most ancient cultures are shown on film as if they stood this very moment amidst today’s street traffic. Man puts the longest distances behind him in the shortest time. He puts the greatest distances behind himself and thus puts everything before himself at the shortest range.” (Heidegger 1971: 165) Now more than half a century later, smartphone in hand, all the world becomes for “Man,” that privileged subject of Eurocentric modernity, an ever-expanding and increasingly accessible archive of all that has come before or happens now. In theory, at least, and in fantasy. Within cultural theory, the “archival turn” has drawn on the expansive, critically powerful conceptualizations of “archive” in the works of such canonical thinkers as Michel Foucault (1977) and Jacques Derrida (1996) that gained pur- chase within the academy as part of a broader uptake of poststructuralist thought in many different fields over the last few decades of the twentieth century.
