  • Feminism, Pornography and Ethical Heterosex Katherine Albury Phd, School of Media, Film and Theatre 2006
    Impure Relations: Feminism, Pornography and Ethical Heterosex Katherine Albury PhD, School of Media, Film and Theatre 2006 ABSTRACT This thesis engages with feminist and queer theory to assert that heterosexuality can be understood not as a fixed, unchanging and oppressive institution, but as changing combination of erotic and social affects which coexist within public and private bodies, discourses and imaginations. Drawing on the work on Michel Foucault, William Connolly, Eve Sedgwick and others, it examines the multiple discourses of heterosexuality that are already circulating in popular culture, specifically, representations of sex and gender within sexually explicit media. It examines the fields of polyamory, ‘feminist porn’, amateur and DIY pornography and ‘taboo’ sexual practices to demonstrate the possibilities offered by non-normative readings of heterosex. These readings open up space not only for queerer, less oppressive heterosexualities, but also for models of ethical sexual learning which incorporate heterosexual eroticism and emphasise both the pleasures and dangers of heterosex.

    TRANSFORMATION OF INTIMACY AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN A TRANSITIONAL SOCIAL CONTEXT IN TEHRAN, IRAN SAMANE ETESAMI THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY FACULTY OF ART AND SOCIAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA KUALA LUMPUR 2017 Abstract Making a desired intimate relationship is a challenging issue among young men and women in contemporary urban Iran. The current research examined how the couples’ intimacy in intimate relationships is related with the status of modern transformation of intimacy. This research aimed to examine how Giddens’s (1992) theory of transformation of intimacy would be applicable in the transitional urban context of Iran, viz. in Tehran. An online research design and a partially mixed methods approach was used in this study. The quantitative results derived from completed online questionnaires by 567 men and women showed a positive correlation between the level of an individual’s transformed attitude towards intimate relationships and gender roles and the level of women’s sexual agency. In addition, there was a positive correlation between the level of women’s sexual agency and the level of actual intimacy among partners. The combination of quantitative and qualitative results however, showed that the transformed intimacy has not been completely perceived or adhered to by individuals, rather a combination of transformed and stereotypical values were practiced by the respondents. The in-depth interviews amongst 37 male and female respondents revealed that men and women treated the transformation of intimacy selectively and based it on their own benefits. Theoretical dissection suggests that the incomplete process of transformed intimacy in the context of the study could be explained by three sources: first, the feminist perspective of the interrelatedness of the public and private domains in the society, and the prevalence of patriarchal discourse in personal relationships.

  • Women's Sexual Stories
    Fighting for Pleasure and Questioning Norms Young Dutch Women’s Stories on Sexual Desire and Pleasure Barbara Oud 3940608 RMA-thesis Gender and Ethnicity Supervisor: Dr. Christine L. Quinan Second reader: Dr. Eva Midden May 4, 2015 Acknowledgements While writing the conclusion of this study my mind wanders to an evening three years ago, when I visited the information night of the RMA Gender and Ethnicity at Utrecht University together with my mother. I think back of the enthusiasm the RMA sparked in me and of how much I learned ever since. I loved it and hated it. The RMA itself and writing this thesis in particular can be characterized as an incredibly difficult, exhausting and gruesome process with the most amazing feeling at the finish line. I did it; I conquered. Of course, I did not do so all by myself. I had help, a lot of help, from many different people. First and foremost, this study only exists because of all the women that were willing to share their stories with me. I am incredibly thankful to all of you and I am sorry that space and time restrictions resulted in me getting to know only a few of you. I am extremely grateful for the teachers that crossed my path during the RMA program, among which Dr. Kathrin Thiele, Dr. Eva Midden, Dr. Domitilla Olivieri, Prof. Dr. Rosemarie Buikema and Dr. Gaston Franssen. Dr. Iris van der Tuin, you are an awesome mentor. You asked me the right questions, gave me perfect advice and the confidence to believe in myself.
