(Signed^ Abstract Set against a backdrop of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Thailand and the recent Asian economic crisis, this study focuses attention on the discursive and sexual interactions among bar-based male sex workers in Bangkok, the management of the bars in which they work and regular male customers of the workers. A premise underpinning the study is that despite the boldness of the Thai Government’s public health campaign, a shift in the response to HIV/AIDS is timely in order to effectively address changing modes of HIV transmission. A second premise is that discussions about gender/sexuality have been dominated by a medicalised discourse, and that homosexuality has been largely removed from public health campaigns and from public purview. Drawing on ethnographic and social science research methodologies and critical discourse analysis, the study sets out to learn more about the complex interplay between homosexual and heterosexual contexts and, more generally, to broaden understandings of male sexuality. At a macro level, the study asks: What are the traditions and discourses that contribute to constructions of gender in Thailand? How do these institutionalised practices constitute and regulate public discussions of sexuality? How are the discourses of male-male sex and male sex work shaped by medical and scientific literature, by the media and the arts? At a local level, the research focuses on how these discourses are displayed in talk and how they frame the interactions between Thai male bar workers and their customers. In laying open the boundaries where these global and local representations of gender intersect and where meanings are reassigned, the study considers the significance male sex workers and their customers attach to their homosexual encounters, illustrates how notions of identity and identity maintenance affect behavioural norms and group identification and describes a set of correlates that intersect with the negotiation of sexual practice. Drawing on the research findings, the author concludes that gender categories are best understood as contingent and context- dependent practices, situated within a dynamic sexual ecology, and argues that this insight has equal significance for understanding heterosexual and homosexual, commercial and non-commercial and Thai and non-Thai socio-sexual contexts.

Professor Kippax’ insights into socio-sexuality and Dr Halperin’s comments on the historical constructions of male sexuality gave me the courage to think outside the box in which I had become wedged. I am indebted further to them both for their thoughtful suggestions during the final stages of the writing process. Throughout the course of the research, Dr Anthony Pramualaratana (Executive Director of the Thai Business Coalition of AIDS, Bangkok) acted as external supervisor. I sincerely thank him for the role he played as mentor and for his continual encouragement and advice on my reading of Thai social contexts. This work would not have been possible without the knowledge and experiences provided by the research participants, and I extend my sincerest gratitude to the male sex workers and other homosexually active men who so generously informed the study and who entrusted me with their life stories. I am indebted to a number of Thai academics and researchers with whom I was able to discuss the research data. In particular, I thank Ajarn Suntaree Komin (Deputy Director, Training Centre, Thai National Institute for Development), for her explication of the Thai value system; Dr Usa Doungsaa (Director of AIDSNet, Chiang Mai) for sharing her field experience and understandings of gender-based relations; Ajarn Yothin Sawangdee (Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol University), for his clarification of the nexus between migration, sex work and filial responsibility; Ajarn Wassana Im-em (Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol University) for arranging for me to speak at the Institute’s round table; Ajarn Sorani Wongbiasaj (Faculty of Humanities, Chiang Mai University) for her reading and interpretation of power and language in Thai social interactions; and Khun Chawalit Tantinimitkul (Planning and Evaluation Section, AIDS Division, Thai Ministry of Public Health) for assisting me with the epidemiological data and arranging access to the Division’s library. I also benefited from discussions with non-government organizations in Thailand, and I take this opportunity to thank Khun Anjana (Taeng) Suvarnananda from Anjaree; the late Khun Thawat Chaimongkol from the Prasaan Jai Rak Nong beats project in Chiang Mai; Khun Promboon Panitchthakdi and staff of the Rak Thai Foundation; Dr Scott Bamber from the AIDS Network Development Foundation (Northeast Thailand); Khun Jon Ungpakorn from ACCESS; Greg Carl of the Thai Red Cross; and Mr Paul L Toh (Community Mobilisation Advisor for UNAIDS, Bangkok). I began this research while a student at Macquarie University under the joint supervision of Professor C N Candlin and Dr Guenter Plum. I earnestly thank Professor Candlin for guiding me through the initial stages of the study and shaping my understanding of critical discourse analysis. I am ever grateful to Guenter for his important comments on methodology and narrative structure and for his editorial comments. I also profited from numerous discussions with Australian academics working in the field of Thai studies. Dr Peter A Jackson (Research Fellow, School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University, Canberra) brought a body of knowledge on Thai historical contexts and Asian sexualities. Dr Chris Lyttleton (Anthroplogy Department, Macquarie University, Sydney) provided considerable insight into the discursive formations surrounding HIV/AIDS in Thailand and on the changing ecology of the Thai AIDS epidemic; and Dr Malcolm McCamish (Department of Chemistry, Queensland University) offered advice on the contexts of male sex work and collaborated on the development of the sexual network diagrams.

The amount of time that an average American sits in front of a screen is staggering. For 2013, Nielsen reported that Americans watch an average of 34 hours of live TV a week and an additional 3 to 4 hours of streamed or home-recorded programming. The average time that an American youth spends in school is 900 hours a year; the average time that an American youth spends in front of television screen a year is 1200 hours. As young adults develop their ideas about cultural and social norms, they turn to television, whose implicit and explicit messages eventually become internalized after so many hours of exposure. Weststrate and McLean point to mainstream, popular narrative as a tool that young adults use to develop their own personal narratives. Those who can find their voice identify with a position of cultural power.

  • The Quantified Self, Self-Tracking, and the Limits Of
    Sensored: The Quantified Self, Self-Tracking, and the Limits of Digital Transparency Yuliya Grinberg Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2018 Yuliya Grinberg All rights reserved ABSTRACT Sensored: The Quantified Self, Self-Tracking, and the Limits of Digital Transparency Yuliya Grinberg The idea that daily life overflows with data has entered our common sense. Digital sensors placed in phones, clothing, or household appliances to track how we walk, how much we sleep, or where we travel have heightened the sense that everything about our lives is rapidly being translated into data. Theorists writing about data overload have largely converged around questions of privacy and agency, focusing on the feelings of impotence produced by large quantities of data that now let corporations effortlessly monitor and regulate people’s lives. By contrast, I am interested in moments of friction. Scholars point to real issues, but they overstate the efficacy of data gathering and discount the professional dynamics that motivate the proliferation of data. As I evaluate how data discourse operates and builds, I concentrate on the experiences of those involved in the business of self-tracking, and mainly on the work of U.S.- based developers of wearable computing and the technology professionals who participate in the international forum for data enthusiasts called the Quantified Self. As I analyze how digital entrepreneurialism configures notions of data and transforms digital self-monitoring into meaningful work, I examine how the relationship of technology professionals to data opens onto wider debates about the politics of digital representation.

One of the largest sexual records ever produced, it focuses on Painter’s lifelong erotic interest in lower-class men whom he idealized as paragons of masculinity and sexual uninhibitedness.
