Racial Stereotypes and Non-Consensual Behaviours........................................ 25 Table 4 - Cowan and Campbell Comparison .................................................................... 27 vii BETTERMENT OR BELITTLEMENT Abstract Cowan and Campbell (1994) conducted a content analysis of interracial pornography videocassettes to study indicators of racism and sexism. It was concluded that pornography was both racist and sexist in its portrayal of sexual activity. The current study replicated Cowan and Campbell to examine identical behaviours in internet pornography. One-hundred videos were selected from 10 free online pornography websites (50 interracial, 50 control) and were coded using Campbell and Cowan‟s criteria. Rates of physical and verbal aggression were consistent with Cowan and Campbell but yielded fewer racial differences. Racial compliments and insults were less common in the current study and there was no difference in mention of verbal penis size, but there was a higher rate of visual penis size cues in interracial videos. Intimacy cues including kissing, caressing, talking, and sex face-to-face were now portrayed more often. Non-consensual acts were rare, occurring in 5% of the total sample. The current study adds to the growing body of research exploring trends in web-based pornography. viii BETTERMENT OR BELITTLEMENT 20 Years of Betterment or Belittlement: A Replication of Cowan and Campbell’s 1994 Content Analysis on Sexism and Racism in Interracial Pornography The majority of individuals have viewed pornography (Ramlagun, 2012; Wodda, 2011). Rates of exposure range between 38% to 90%, with an increasing trend of exposure occurring via the internet (Häggström-Nordin et al, 2006; Lo & Wei, 2005; Peter & Valkenburg, 2006). Throughout the 1980‟s and 1990‟s, the sales of hardcore pornographic videos grew exponentially increasing from an estimated 75 million dollars in revenue in 1986, to 665 million dollars by 1996 (Stack et al, 2004). When including all other forms of sexually explicit material such as magazines, internet porn, phone sex, peep shows, and pay-per-view cable pornography, total profits grew to over eight billion dollars, more sales than all of Hollywood‟s movie profits combined (Fisher & Barak, 2000). However, the rise of the internet has allowed pornography to become more accessible than ever before (Döring, 2009; Downing et al, 2014; Gossett & Byrne, 2002; Mehta, 2001), supplanting magazines and videocassettes as the primary means of distribution (Woida, 2009). From this point, the debate arises about the effects of pornography on behaviour. Some research has found negative effects, correlating exposure to pornography among adolescents with less progressive gender roles, becoming more likely to engage in sexual harassment, and engaging in sexual intercourse at an earlier age (Brown & L‟Engle, 2008; Döring, 2009; Primack et al., 2008). By contrast, other research has found neutral or positive effects suggesting that consuming pornography does not result in adverse thoughts, behaviours, or treatment of others, and its growing prevalence relates to a decrease of sex crimes being committed (Diamond, 2009; McKee, 2014; Scott & 1 BETTERMENT OR BELITTLEMENT Cuvelier, 1993). However, the content of pornographic videos remains an important area of research for determining prevailing trends and stereotypes that continue to be portrayed in this medium. A primary concern about the use of pornography is that it promotes harmful

  • Ratchet: an Etymological Origin & Social Dispersion Theory
    RATCHET: AN ETYMOLOGICAL ORIGIN & SOCIAL DISPERSION THEORY by CHRISTA A. RAMPLEY (Under the Direction of LEWIS C. HOWE) ABSTRACT Ratchet has received a tremendous amount of pop-culture attention within the last decade. Despite folkloric theories as to the origins of the term in the working-class black population of the Southern United States, this work presents evidence that showcases the development of ratchet within the chiefly white trucking community. From there, the word is traced through the ages, arriving and once again departing from the black community supposed to have proliferated the term, stopping by the LGBTQ community, and finally resting with the young, white middle- class. Attention is paid to the sociological implications of the word’s progression from an underground label to a mass-population phenomenon, including the various gender-specific, racially-charged, and class-based sentiments associated with its use. In summary, ratchet is evaluated for the multi-level appropriation of culture that it so accurately represents with special consideration to the concepts of language variation and both lexical and semantic change.

First, the sense of loss at being without him after all those years together. Second, the sense of freedom. We hadn’t had sex for years. Of course, I know now it was because he’d been screwing that receptionist of his, seemingly not caring how clichéd something like that was. But a woman has needs, even an old ‘has-been’ like me. Within days of him leaving I’d joined just about every dating website I could find. Call it overcompensating if you want, I call it desperation to get some actual sex for the first time in (I suppose I might as well be honest) more than a decade. I’d masturbated of course, but that’s never the same is it? Never as good as having someone laid up against you, your mouths pressed together, your bodies running with sweat. You just don’t get that passion from a sex toy, no matter how expensive it is. I didn’t get many replies online at first but last night I took a very different picture and uploaded it, feeling more than a little nervous about how much flesh I was revealing to the world.

  • In Defense of the X: Centering Queer, Trans, and Non-Binary Pilipina/X/Os, Queer Vernacular, and the Politics of Naming
    IN DEFENSE OF THE X: CENTERING QUEER, TRANS, AND NON-BINARY PILIPINA/X/OS, QUEER VERNACULAR, AND THE POLITICS OF NAMING Kay Ulanday Barrett, Karen Buenavista Hanna, Anang Palomar ABSTRACT. This essay is an engagement of the dialectics of naming and violence, discussed from the perspectives of the trans, non-bi- nary, and gender non-conforming Pilipina/o/xs whom we interviewed in the Summer of 2020. Applying a transnational queer diasporic methodology, we center their material realities, which we feel remain missing in both scholarly and popular debates about the term “Filip- inx.” Indeed, it was LGBTQI+ Pilipinxs in North America who were the first to use the term “Filipinx” and “Pilipinx” in online spaces. Instead of positioning the X as our main focus, we use it as an entry point to discuss the violence that LGBTQI+ people of Philippine-descent have historically faced for simply identifying themselves on their own terms. It is toward such violence that the queer, non-binary, and trans people who began using the X and other linguistic innovations were and are asserting themselves. Revealed are perspectives and practices of dignity, self-determination, resistance against cultural homogeni- zation and gender gatekeeping, and self-naming as radical imagina- tion initiated by those facing intensified carcerality and other forms of violence that stretch within and beyond nation-state boundaries. To those who demand this X be erased: Have you taken the time to remember the story, not just of Our ancestors and the Iberian royalty that demanded our conquest, But of how they cut those like me down, told us we were Not M or F enough, that we were too X, too Other? They fed us to crocodiles and would not even plant their X On our graves, the sign of their pale martyred god crowned in thorns.

As is understandable, this project would be impossible to carry out without the esteemed collaboration of the people who follow us around the world. This e-Book, therefore, was born with the intention of paying a small tribute to all our collaborators. Manuel Penichet P has contributed to the dictionary with 1682 meanings that we have approved and collected in this small book.

The aim of this study is to determine, through the categorization of porn clips in the Internet, cognitive schemes and cultural models which explain the principles of such classification and provide the information on the cultural thought that lies behind the interpretation of the Internet pornography during the organization of that particular part of virtual reality by the pornographic sites‟ authors and their users.
