  • Age and Sexual Consent
    Per Se or Power? Age and Sexual Consent Joseph J. Fischel* ABSTRACT: Legal theorists, liberal philosophers, and feminist scholars have written extensively on questions surrounding consent and sexual consent, with particular attention paid to the sorts of conditions that validate or vitiate consent, and to whether or not consent is an adequate metric to determine ethical and legal conduct. So too, many have written on the historical construction of childhood, and how this concept has influenced contemporary legal culture and more broadly informed civil society and its social divisions. Far less has been written, however, on a potent point of contact between these two fields: age of consent laws governing sexual activity. Partially on account of this under-theorization, such statutes are often taken for granted as reflecting rather than creating distinctions between adults and youth, between consensual competency and incapacity, and between the time for innocence and the time for sex. In this Article, I argue for relatively modest reforms to contemporary age of consent statutes but propose a theoretic reconstruction of the principles that inform them. After briefly historicizing age of consent statutes in the United States (Part I), I assert that the concept of sexual autonomy ought to govern legal regulations concerning age, age difference, and sexual activity (Part II). A commitment to sexual autonomy portends a lowered age of sexual consent, decriminalization of sex between minors, heightened legal supervision focusing on age difference and relations of dependence, more robust standards of consent for sex between minors and between minors and adults, and greater attention to the ways concerns about age, age difference, and sex both reflect and displace more normatively apt questions around gender, gendered power and submission, and queer sexuality (Part III).

  • The Power of Popular Discourse on Sex and Love in Hemingway's “Up
    The Power of Popular Discourse on Sex and Love in Hemingway’s “Up in Michigan” Honors Research Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation “with Honors Research Distinction in English” in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Catherine Lewis The Ohio State University April 2014 Project Advisor: Professor Debra A. Moddelmog, Department of English Abstract In my thesis I explore the historical contexts within which Ernest Hemingway set and wrote “Up in Michigan” (1921) in order to show how the short story can be read as a retrospective critique of the ideologies regarding normative gender and sexual roles in Victorian America. Published in expatriate Paris, the story centers on a female protagonist, Liz Coates, living in Michigan in the late 1800’s, who due to a limited sex education is unable to predict or control a sexual encounter with her romantic interest, Jim Gilmore. Critics who have argued Liz is raped have access to an entire realm of contemporary feminist discourse that she does not. As I argue instead, Liz could not understand or define her experience as something akin to date rape because she did not have access to the essential vocabulary to do so. In fact, the literary culture of romance she did have access to—along with the sex education she did not—was detrimental to her ability to accurately understand Jim’s desires and expectations. Hemingway was highly critical of conservative discourses on gender and sexuality in Victorian and early twentieth- century America. “Up in Michigan” clearly expresses the flaws in these powerful discourses on sex and love, which often resulted in the Victorian woman’s failure to understand both her own sexuality and that of the men she lived with.

Professor Catherine Rymph Professor Michelle Morris Professor Colleen Heflin ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This paper would not be possible without the support and assistance of so many people. First, I would like to thank Dr. Catherine Rymph for helping me in every step of this project, including choosing a topic, research, writing, revising, and even completing all of the forms on time. She has helped me to learn how to think more critically about my topic, work independently, and analyze my sources on a deeper level. In addition, she has especially enriched my understanding of the Progressive Era and legal reforms. I would also like to thank Dr. Michelle Morris for serving on my committee and furthering my knowledge of gender and the foundations of women’s political activism in America. Much appreciation is also due to Dr. Colleen Heflin for taking on my thesis with enthusiasm even though it is outside her field. I am extremely grateful for my fellow students’ input on this paper, especially Chris Deutsch, who always asked me about my progress and suggested new sources to consider.
