The Desired Object : Prostitution in Canda, United States and Australia
The Desired Object: Prostitution in Canada, United States and Australia THE DESIRED OBJECT: PROSTITUTION IN CANADA, UNITED STATES AND AUSTRALIA Suzanne E. Hatty Senior Lecturer and Coordinator Criminology School of Social Science and Liberal Studies Charles Sturt University New South Wales THE STATE REGULATION OF SEXUALITY CONTINUES TO GENERATE CONTRO-versy amongst feminist scholars and activists, criminologists and law-makers. Historically, the state has upheld traditional patriarchal institutions and supported male-biased rights concerning the deployment of sexuality and reproductive abilities. The state has actively sought to entrench women's position as home- maker and sexually-available partner, whilst at the same time contesting the right of women to practise prostitution. In a gender-stratified society, in which sex, sexuality and the body are socially- constructed, prostitution raises important questions about the nature of desire, pleasure, harm and violence. As Lowman (1986, p. 193) notes: For contemporary feminists, the sexual commodification of women creates an uneasy tension between a desire to suppress the trade and a desire to free prostitutes from state interference. On the one hand, prostitution represents the pole of a system of sexual stratification and must be resisted as the quintessential form of men's exploitation of women (and children of both sexes). Prostitution is the raw end [sic] of patriarchy. In this paper, the different ways in which prostitution by women is conceptualised by prostitute advocacy groups and academics in the United States and Australia will be examined. Current research on the experience of prostitution will be reviewed, with particular emphasis on information gathered during interviews with prostitute women in Canada. -

How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students A
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading Comic Books Critically: How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Fang-Tzu Hsu 2015 © Copyright by Fang-Tzu Hsu 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading Comic Books Critically: How Japanese Comic Books Influence Taiwanese Students by Fang-Tzu Hsu Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor Carlos A. Torres, Chair Education knows no boundaries but hot button topics, like comic books, demonstrate school, teacher and parent limitations. Japanese comic books (manga) are a litmus test of pedagogical tolerance. Because they play an important role in the lives of most Taiwanese teenagers, I give them pride of place in this dissertation. To understand Japanese comic books and their influence, I use Paulo Freire’s critical pedagogy to combine perspectives from cultural studies, comparative education, and educational sociology. With the cooperation of the administration, faculty and students of a Taiwanese junior high school, I used surveys, a textual analysis of five student-selected titles and interviews with students and educators. I discovered that Japanese manga contain complex and sometimes contradictory ideologies of ethnicity, gender, class, and violence. From an ethnic perspective, although students may glean cultural content from manga heroes and their retinues, people of color and non-Japanese Asians are either caricatures or non-existent; although Taiwanese teenager readers seem unaware of this. From a gender standpoint, neither the female characters’ provocative representation nor the male characters’ slavering responses to it raise students’ and teachers’ concerns. -
Criminalisation of Sex Work: a Human Rights Crisis in Canada and Beyond
Criminalisation of sex work: A human rights crisis in Canada and beyond Glenn Betteridge Joanne Csete 1 Overview Human rights questions raised by legal approaches to sex work Human rights analysis of Canadian law related to sex work Recommendations for human rights-based approaches What can we do? 2 Legal approaches to regulation of sex work (1) Abolition Assumes all sex work is abusive, victimizing, enslaving; seeks eradication; repudiates person agency of sex workers Reflected in UN 1949 Trafficking Convention: all sex work should end and sex workers should be “saved” (Canada is not a party) Reflected in US policy: confounding of trafficking and sex work Rarely basis of national law per se 3 Legal approaches to regulation of sex work (2) Criminalisation: 3 approaches Act of prostitution illegal (China, Islamic republics, So Africa) Act of prostitution not illegal, but acts associated with it are, e.g. ¾ soliciting, procuring ¾ brothel-keeping, abetting brothel-keeping ¾ living off sex work earnings ¾ vagrancy, loitering, public nuisance, etc. (approach of Canada, India, UK, ex-USSR, many others – reflects in perverse way abolitionist idea of sex worker as victim) Criminalisation of buying but not selling sex (Sweden) 4 Legal approaches to regulation of sex work (3) Decriminalisation (New Zealand, Australia): also limited decriminalisation in ‘zones of tolerance,’ other circumstances Legalisation with regulation (Netherlands, Nevada in US): extensive health and other regulations and conditions of licensing may be abusive 5 Effect of criminalisation (greater detail later on Canada case) Greater stigma, marginalization, driving underground, opportunity for organised crime Greater risk of abuse by clients: less time to check out prospective clients Greater risk of abuse by police (widespread “subbotnik”) Unlikelihood of police protection for sex workers or prosecution of abusers of sex workers Inhibition of sex workers’ right to organise. -
Street Prostitution in Canada
Statistics Canada – Catalogue no. 85-002-XPE Vol. 17 no. 2 STREET PROSTITUTION IN CANADA by Doreen Duchesne Highlights n In 1995, almost all of the 7,165 prostitution incidents reported by police nationally involved communicating to buy or sell the services of a prostitute (92%). The remaining incidents concerned procuring (5%) or bawdy-house (3%) offences. n Annual fluctuations in the number of reported prostitution incidents within jurisdictions are common and usually reflect changes in the enforcement of the communicating law, rather than the volume of criminal activity (Chart A). For example, between 1994 and 1995, the total number of Chart A prostitution incidents in Canada rose 29%, largely due to a substantial rise in communicating offences in Van- Communicating incidents in Canada couver.

RADIOHEAD: THE GUITAR WEILDING, DANCING, SINGING COMMODITY by SELENA LAWSON Under the Direction of Jeffery Bennett ABSTRACT In 2007, Radiohead released a downloadable album, In Rainbows, allowing consumers to pay what they thought the album was worth. The band responded to a moment of change in the music industry. Since then, other bands, like Nine Inch Nails and Coldplay, have made similar moves. Radiohead's capability to release an album and let the fans decide its worth relied on the image they built, which foregrounded their commodification. The historic move redefined the boundaries between art and commodity, a well know tension in popular music studies. The thesis focuses on popular music as communication in the changing industry. Using Radiohead’s album as a case study, it looks at the changing boundaries in the tension between art and commodity. The thesis examines Radiohead's performance, its mediation by the press, and what the album’s distribution method meant to the fans. -
The Human Trafficking Crusade: a Content Analysis of Canadian Newspaper Articles
The Human Trafficking Crusade: A Content Analysis of Canadian Newspaper Articles Shannon Fournier A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master’s degree in Globalization and International Development School of International Development and Global Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Shannon Fournier, Ottawa, Canada, 2020 ii Abstract Although human trafficking was not a new concept, it gained increased attention across the United States and Canada in the first two decades of the 21st century. To better understand the Canadian anti-trafficking movement, this thesis analyzed the discourse on the topic in six local and national daily newspapers between 2008 and 2018. The goal of this thesis was to investigate the emergence of human trafficking as a social problem. Using social constructionism as a point of departure, a critical discourse analysis was conducted in NVivo of the quotes made by human trafficking experts in Canadian media. The results of this analysis suggest that an Unofficial Christian Coalition emerged in Canada, which – assisted by the media – led a moral crusade against human trafficking and pushed for the adoption of restrictive sex work legislation in Canada. Key words: human trafficking, sex trafficking, sex work, sex trade, prostitution iii Acknowledgement Throughout the writing of this thesis I have received a great deal of support and assistance. I would first like to thank my supervisor, Chris Bruckert, whose expertise was invaluable throughout every step of this process. Your support, guidance, and rigorous work ethic pushed me to be a better researcher and writer than I thought I could be. -
