  • Participatory Porn Culture Feminist Positions and Oppositions in the Internet Pornosphere Allegra W
    from Paul G. Nixon and Isabel K. Düsterhöft (Eds.) Sex in the Digital Age. New York: Rougledge, 2018. CHAPTER 2 Participatory porn culture Feminist positions and oppositions in the internet pornosphere Allegra W. Smith Introductions: pornography, feminisms, and ongoing debate Though first-wave feminists had engaged in debate and advocacy surrounding sexual knowledge and obscenity since the late-19th century (Horowitz, 2003), American advocates did not begin to address pornography as a feminist concern until the 1970s, ostensibly beginning with the formation of the activist group Women Against Violence in Pornography and Media (WAVPM) in 1978. WAVPM was a reactionary response to the mainstreaming of hardcore pornography in the wake of American sexual liberation, which many second wave feminists claimed “…encouraged rape and other acts of violence, threatening women’s safety and establishing a climate of terror that silenced women and perpetuated their oppression… [thus helping] create and maintain women’s subordinate status” (Bronstein, 2011, pp. 178–179). The resulting “porn wars” (or, more broadly, “sex wars”) of the 1980s and 1990s polarized second- and third-wave feminists into two camps: (1) anti-porn feminists, such as writer Andrea Dworkin (1981) and legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon (1984), who opposed the creation and distribution of pornographic images and videos on moral and political grounds; and (2) pro-porn or sex-positive feminists, such as anthropologist Gayle Rubin and feminist pornographer Candida Royalle, who advocated for freedom of sexual expression and representation. The rhetoric surrounding the social and cultural ills perpetuated by pornography was duly acrimonious, with one prominent feminist writing, “pornography is the theory, rape is the practice” (Morgan, 1978, p.

  • Pleasure, Pain and Pornography: a Gendered Analysis of the Influence of Contemporary Pornography on the Lives of New Zealand Emerging Adults
    Pleasure, pain and pornography: A gendered analysis of the influence of contemporary pornography on the lives of New Zealand emerging adults By Samantha Maree Keene A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Criminology Social and Cultural Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2019 i ii Abstract Historically, concerns have been raised about violence in pornography and the influence that such portrayals may have on levels of violence against women and children. Today, pornography is pervasively available on the internet and viewed by both men and women in ever-increasing numbers. In New Zealand, violence against women and children remains at alarmingly high levels, and concerns about pornography’s influence on gendered violence are a common refrain. Research remains inconclusive about the impacts of pornography on viewers’ sexual scripts, behaviours and attitudes, yet the voices of those most affected by pornography – viewers and their partners – are often omitted from pornography studies. Few New Zealand studies employ a gendered analysis of men’s and women’s experiences with pornography. To provide research specific to New Zealand about these experiences, this thesis explores the reported influences of mainstream pornography on the lives of a self-selecting sample of (primarily) heterosexual New Zealanders between the ages of 18 and 30. It adopts a uniquely gendered analysis and critically interrogates both men’s and women’s experiences with pornography in the digital age. The findings of this research suggest that pornography research necessitates a gendered appraisal both in terms of how pornography is experienced individually, but also within intimate relationships.

  • AP Language & Composition Summer Assignment 2018-2019 Welcome
    AP Language & Composition Summer Assignment 2018-2019 Welcome to the AP Language and Composition course at Pathways Academy of Technology and Design. I am excited that your love for all things English has led you to this challenging, yet highly rewarding course. Students in this introductory college-level course read and carefully analyze a broad and challenging range of nonfiction prose selections, deepening their awareness of rhetoric and how language works. Through close reading and frequent writing, students develop their ability to work with language and text with a greater awareness of purpose and strategy, while strengthening their own composing abilities. Course reading and writing activities should help students gain textual power, making them more alert to an author’s purpose, the needs of an audience, the demands of the subject, and the resources of language: syntax, word choice, and tone. First and foremost, I am committed to your academic success this year, which is why I am requiring that you complete the summer assignment (details below). Please read the following directions, and if you have any questions, you can direct them straight to me. All work must be completed by the first day of school. Students prepare for the AP® English Language and Composition Exam and may be granted advanced placement, college credit, or both as a result of satisfactory performance. This class begins with the summer work. Summer reading and writing are required. If you do not complete the summer work, you will be dropped from AP Language & Composition in the first week of classes. I will be hosting a practice exam day for all students to take on the last day of school, June 18, 2018.

Manipulative and scheming young movie producer Christian (adult film star James Deen) makes films to keep his trust fund intact, while his actress girlfriend and bored plaything, Tara (Lindsay Lohan), hides a passionate affair with an actor from her past. When Christian becomes aware of Tara's infidelity, the young Angelenos are thrust into a violent, sexually- charged tour through the dark side of human nature. THE CANYONS BIOS BRAXTON POPE Braxton Pope is feature film and television producer who maintained a production deal with Lionsgate.

  • It's Twilight Again
    It’s Twilight Again Adam Kaplan Daniel Herleth Boaz Levin - Trois Chaînes Press - Berlin / Jerusalem 2013 From Analog Relics To Digital Relics Framing Formats Through Historically Specific Aesthetic by Adam Kaplan 7 Within and After Youtube Digital Video from Channel to Database by Boaz Levin 21 Reciprocal Economics by Daniel Herleth 35 - 2 - - 3 - Preface This publication comprises three lectures originally de- livered during the Intersections conference, which took place as part of the Jerusalem Film Festival, 2013. The lectures reflect upon different aspects related to recent changes in the ways visual media are distributed, mon- etized, articulated, defined and constituted. The digitiza- tion of media has redefined the nature of both still and moving images. The changes from analog to digital, from broadcast to peer-to-peer distribution, from mon- etary to symbolic reward, are fueled by technological innovation, while creating new pictorial categories and visual grammar. The rise of the selfie as the ubiquitous visual genre of the past decade and Youtube’s reinvention of the clip as a cultural form, are just two examples among a vast array of practices which either led to the sublation of existing formats or, in many cases, veiled them under a veneer of nostalgia. This occasion serves, for us, as an opportunity to investigate a terrain which is in constant flux. It is an attempt to screenshot, so to speak, the cultural-techno- logical present. Adam Kaplan, Daniel Herleth, Boaz Levin. Berlin F/W 2013 - 4 - - 5 - From Analog Relics To Digital Relics Framing Formats Through Historically Specific Aesthetics Is it awkward to frame the 80’s as history rather than a fading mythical memory? And what about the 90’s? and the 2000’s? and 2010? Today, it seems, defining a point in time where one can refer to his or hers re- cent past as history may be a somewhat tricky gesture.

  • Whose Porn Is It Anyway: Rhetorically Exploring the Differences Between Mainstream and Feminist Internet Pornography
    WHOSE PORN IS IT ANYWAY: RHETORICALLY EXPLORING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MAINSTREAM AND FEMINIST INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY By Allegra W. Smith A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Digital Rhetoric and Professional Writing—Master of Arts 2015 ABSTRACT WHOSE PORN IS IT ANYWAY: RHETORICALLY EXPLORING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MAINSTREAM AND FEMINIST INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY By Allegra W. Smith Pornography has been increasingly theorized by gender and cultural scholars over the past two decades. While the theoretical discourse on pornography has been plentiful, there has been limited empirical inquiry into porn—and existing research within rhetoric and composition focuses on the rhetoric and backlash surrounding porn ("the porn wars"), rather examining pornographic media itself as an innately rhetorical artifact. Pornographic videos and communities remain a largely untouched site of research within rhetoric and composition, and even within the humanities writ large, in spite of their influential role in the creation of cultural and sexual scripts. In this thesis, I articulate the results of a study that examines the differences between videos posted in two porn communities on the social network reddit, r/PornVids and r/Chickflixxx. Both subreddits provide links to free, open-access porn videos, although Chickflixxx describes itself as a board "for women, by women." Using multi-modal coding methods, I have collected quantitative and qualitative data on the visual and auditory rhetorics of the videos of both these communities. By grounding this data in existing feminist and cultural rhetorical theory, I delineate and quantify the differences between mainstream and "woman- friendly" porn as demonstrated by real rhetorical artifacts, instead of ethical debate.

Every meeting has been a pleasure. To Oliver Watts, my professor for the theory elective Theorising Street Art in 2015, and Julie Rrap, my professor for the studio elective Image/Object in Photomedia in 2016 — those classes set something alight inside me intellectually and it has been my privilege to channel that inspiration this year. Finally, I owe so many thanks to my parents. For exposing me to science and technology so early, for always trusting me to use it the way that was best for me; for modelling determination, and fierceness, and fairness, and kindness.
