Sexual Terms / Sexual Tropes PLAY CLC 1023: Sex and Culture Lecture Two: Sexual Terms / Sexual Tropes PLAY (while class is coming in): “Honey, Honey” by the Archies (1969) Slide 1: Title – Lecture #2: Terms and Tropes Slide 2: Announcements 1. Course Guidebook (Syllabus) –> PDF file now posted on WebCT Owl [can be printed] 2. Lecture notes + Powerpoints posted on WebCT Owl [see me after class for a demo]. 3. Lecture notes will be posted on the course website after each lecture [NB: it may take a day or two to appear, but normally it’s just a few hours.] Slide 3: Policy on Submission of Assignments No reading assignments this week –> but I did suggest last class that you read over the course guidebook carefully. I’d like to focus in on one important aspect of the course today, the Submission Policy for Assignments. Slide 4: Policy cont’d There are FOUR short written assignments for the course: two assignments per term. Assignments handed in on the Official Due Date (see schedule below) will receive a grade plus written comments. Slide 5: Policy cont’d If for any reason you’re unable to submit your work on the Official Due Date, you are automatically granted an extension of two weeks in which to complete the assignment. You do not have to ask for this extension. Assignments handed in on the Extended Due Date will receive a grade without written comments. Work worth an A will receive an A regardless of which due date it’s submitted on: in other words, no marks will ever be subtracted from an assignment simply because you have opted to submit it on the appropriate Extended Due Date. Overdue assignments, however, will be not be accepted after their extended due date unless the circumstances are extraordinary. Slide 6: First Term Assignments Assignments Official Due Date Extended Due Date (For Written Comments) (No Written Comments) 1. Lay Down Your Tracks Mon. Oct 5. Mon. Oct. 19 2. Come Together Mon. Nov 23 Mon. Dec 7 NOTE: Due Dates always fall on a Monday. ANY QUESTIONS? Slide 7: Topics Covered Last Class [Note: a recap like this will be included in my opening remarks for each lecture] 1. Erotic Vehicles –> Lady Gaga’s exploding bustier 2. Overarching Theme –> “Sex and the Cities” 3. Sex before Cities –> Ice Age Dildo 4. Sexuality / Textuality –> Carrie’s Laptop 5. Taboo / Transgression –> Definitions Slide 8: Foundational Concepts –> Taboo / Transgression REVIEW: Definitions TABOO: A socially prevailing prohibition (against acts, conducts, or attitudes) which is designed to distance and protect whatever a culture considers sacred from whatever it condemns as unholy, impure, uncivilized. TRANSGRESSION: a ritualized rebellion against taboo Slide 9: The Big Q Here’s a feature I’ll be adding to my lectures starting from today –> it’s a quiz-type review question I’m going to call the Big Q. This daily question will help to sharpen your minds up for the Midterm Test. So use it as a self-testing device. Slide 10: Movie Poster for the movie Superbad Q: “This poster places the two boys on which side of the Taboo/Transgression border?” ASK for answers from the CLASS Slide 11-12: Answers Be careful to distinguish the poster from the movie it advertises. The graphic design of the poster suggests the censoring/censuring operation of TABOO The boys seem to be labelled “Superbad” by a disapproving parental/legal authority, though they’re actually quite innocent –> even clueless. They don’t know what they’re getting into when they stray to the dark side of Adult Experience. But the movie itself celebrates McLovin’s wild night of violence and erotic TRANSGRESSION –> the term “superbad” is ritually inverted into a term of approval. (Like “supercool” or “bad-ass”) Slide 13: Cyclical Interplay of Taboo and Transgression Taken together, the poster and the movie it advertises illustrate the interactive relation between taboo and transgression. The official voice of disapproval or condemnation PROVOKES or INCITES a correspondingly strong impulse to glimpse or experience whatever is condemned. And vice versa: McLovin and his friends experience a night of transgression that makes them want to return to the normal rule-bound order of their ordinary daytime lives...and to their future after high school as decent hard-working college students. Slide 14: Taboo and Transgression –> Sexual Discourse The Taboos on Sex and Violence, as I pointed out last class, largely “go without saying”: they operate culturally as UNWRITTEN RULES. Language, however, constantly points to the ritual interplay of Taboo and Transgression. E.G. The slang term “superbad” with its two meanings –> a taboo meaning (strong disapproval) and a transgression meaning (intense admiration/ approval for the brave initiates into the nighttime world of the police). Today I’d like to take us a bit deeper into the cultural domain of Erotic Language (or “Sexual Discourse”) by exploring the connection between Sexuality and Textuality as it plays out within the cyclical dynamics of Taboo and Transgression. Slide 15: Foundational Concepts –> Sexual Discourse: Terms and Tropes When we consider sexual terms – along with what I’ll call sexual tropes, or “figures of speech” – we soon discover that the rhetorical domain of sexual discourse is deeply affected by the dynamic interplay of TABOO and TRANGRESSION...i.e. the prevailing social prohibition against or religious “pull” away from sex (“Thou shalt not...) and the ritual rebellion against taboo, the transgressive impulse to “step over the line,” to “misbehave,” to “go with the flow” towards sex, to be “superbad”... Slide 16: Superbad Thought Experiment To illustrate this point and to get us thinking about sex and language in general, I’d like each of you to conduct a brief SUPERBAD THOUGHT EXPERIMENT. Instructions: Jot down a synonym (closely related word or phrase) for each of the following five terms from the erotic vocabulary of Modern English. Ready? Here are the five terms... Slide 17: Experiment cont’d Keep the list to yourself – it’s not for handing in to me or showing to your neighbour. Slide 18-19-20-21-22: Five lists of Sexual Terms TABOO --------------------------------> <---------------------TRANSGRESSION Orgasm Ecstasy Fornication Fuck Fist-Fuck Vagina Rosebud Maidenhead Cunt Boy-Pussy Penis Manhood Male Member Cock Horse-Dick Coitus Make Love Missionary Position 69 Bareback Ejaculate Climax Spill Seed Cum Pitch-Catch These lists form what’s known as “lexical sets” because the terms in each list are felt to belong to the same field of discourse or semantic domain. Can you identify these domains? Slide 23: Lexical Sets Left to right: List 1: Scientific/ Medical List 2: Romantic / Literary List 3: Religious / Theological List 4: Pornographic (Straight) List 5: Pornographic (Gay) Now check your own list. Perhaps all five of your terms come from a clearly discernible LEXICAL SET. Or maybe you can discern a number of lexical sets emerging in your list. The main point I want to make about sexual terms is simply this. There are MANY competing lexical sets at work in the sexual vocabulary of any culture —> there’s no authoritatively “correct” way to talk about sex, no single monolithic mode of textuality that decisively covers every aspect of sexuality. But you can also see from this little thought experiment that SOME ways of talking about sex are dominant or privileged in public discourse, while others are “hushed up” or “censored” or “relegated to the private domain” because they are perceived as vulgar, lewd, defiant, immoral, superbad –> in a word, transgressive. The Taboo/Transgression dynamic is immediately felt at the dividing line between polite speech (what you can say about sex in a courtroom, a classroom, a dining room) and “dirty talk” (what you can say about sex in a bedroom, a locker room, a chat room). The boys in Superbad disclose their transgressive impulses as soon as they open their mouths (even before they’ve done anything bad) Why? Because they use transgressive erotic terms – especially “fuck” – in polite environments such as their Home Economics classroom. Slide 24: Sexual Tropes: Definition I’d like to turn now from SEXUAL TERMS to SEXUAL TROPES, by which I mean figurative modes of erotic signification. Because of the Taboo/Transgression divide, sexual discourses are almost never explicit – even those terms we usually consider as “explicit” or “blunt” or “plain” turn out to be deeply figurative or metaphorical in their implications. So, when I use the term “sexual tropes,” I mean FIGURATIVE modes of erotic signification... i.e. using figures of speech to talk about sex Today I’d like to define and illustrate three common sexual tropes. Slide 25: Sexual Trope #1 Sexual Metaphor: representing an erogenous zone or erotic act by something analogous to it in form or function. Slide 26: EXAMPLE –> Vagina as Sheath Here’s a slightly hidden example of a sexual metaphor. Now you might consider “vagina” an explicit term, but its original meaning in Latin was “sheath.” The male doctors who applied this Latin military term to the female body were evidently thinking metaphorically Analogy of form –> an opening at the end of a enclosure Analogy of function –> protective insertion of a long hard object Slide 27: Sexual Trope #2 Sexual Metonymy: representing an erogenous zone or erotic act by something culturally associated or ritually linked with it. Slide 28: EXAMPLE –> Jock The use of the word “jock” for an erotically hot athlete illustrates sexual metonymy. A fetishized article of sports attire is used to represent the hot male athlete who typically wears it and has come to be ritually associated with it Wearing a jockstrap is a fashion ritual associated with male athletics: it is protective of the male genitalia yet also fetishistically highlights what’s in the pouch.

  • “Express Yourself in New Ways” – Wait, Not Like That
    “Express yourself in new ways” – wait, not like that A semiotic analysis of norm-breaking pictures on Instagram COURSE: Thesis in Media and Communication science II 15 credits PROGRAM: Media and Communication science AUTHORS: Andrea Bille Pettersson, Aino Vauhkonen EXAMINER: Peter Berglez SEMESTER: FS2020 Title: “Express yourself in new ways” – wait, not like that Semester: FS2020 Authors: Andrea Pettersson, Aino Vauhkonen Supervisor: Leon Barkho Abstract Instagram, as one of today’s largest social media platforms, plays a significant part in the maintaining and reproducing of existing stereotypes and role expectations for women. The purpose of the thesis is to study how Instagram interprets violations against its guidelines, and whether decisions to remove certain pictures from the platform are in line with terms of use, or part of human subjectivity. The noticeable pattern among the removed pictures is that they are often norm-breaking. The thesis discusses communication within Instagram to reveal how and why some pictures are removed while others are not, which limits women’s possibilities to express themselves in non-conventional settings. The study applies semiotics to analyse 12 pictures that were banned from the platform without directly violating its guidelines. Role theory and norms are used to supplement semiotics and shed light on the underlying societal structures of female disadvantage. Two major conclusions are presented: 1) Instagram has unclearly communicated its guidelines to women’s disadvantage, and 2) Instagram has therefore been subjective in the decisions to have the pictures removed from the platform, also to women’s disadvantage. Further, the discussion focuses on how Instagram handles issues related to (1) female sexuality, (2) women stereotyping, and (3) female self-representation.

Postfeminist Hegemony in a Precarious World: Lessons in Neoliberal Survival from RuPaul’s Drag Race By Phoebe Chetwynd1 Abstract The popularity of the reality television show RuPaul’s Drag Race is often framed as evidence of Western societies’ increasing tolerance towards queer identities. This paper instead considers the ideological cost of this mainstream success, arguing that the show does not successfully challenge dominant heteronormative values. In light of Rosalind Gill’s work on postfeminism, it will be argued that the show’s format calls upon contestants (and viewers) to conform to a postfeminist ideal that valorises normative femininity and reaffirms the gender binary.

THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE ------------ FROM CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT NO. 4 OF TARRANT COUNTY ------------ MEMORANDUM OPINION1 ------------ I. Introduction In two points, Appellant John Allen Crosthwait appeals his convictions and punishment for possession of child pornography and possession with intent to 1See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. promote child pornography. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 43.26(a), (e) (Vernon 2003). We affirm. II. Factual and Procedural History A tip from America Online (AOL) to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about an image of child pornography being transmitted from a Texas-based AOL account eventually led to a jury finding Crosthwait guilty of three counts of possession of child pornography and five counts of possession of child pornography with intent to distribute.2 The jury assessed punishment at ten years’ confinement for each possession conviction and twenty years’ confinement for each possession-with-intent-to-distribute conviction. The trial court sentenced him accordingly, setting the ten-year sentences to run concurrently with each other but consecutively to the twenty-year sentences, which run concurrently with each other. This appeal followed. III. Challenge to Facial Unconstitutionality In his first point, Crosthwait argues that penal code section 43.26 is facially unconstitutional because it is vague and overbroad, constituting a violation of the First Amendment. However, he acknowledges that he did not challenge the facial constitutionality of the child pornography statute at trial.
