SUPPORTING PATRIARCHY AND CONSUMERISM THROUGH SEX RHETORIC: POWER, FOUCAULT AND SEX AND THE CITY BY ALYSON CHACE ARNOLD A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER'S OF ARTS IN COMMUNICATION STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2003 MASTER'S IN COMMUNICATION STUDIES THESIS OF ALYSON C. ARNOLD APPROVED: UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2003 Abstract As Americans seek identification through the media, Foucault's "bio-power" extends the power of patriarchy and consumerism through gender prescriptions. A study of modern sexuality discourses can show what those prescriptions are and how the current power-knowledge regimes are maintained by them. This paper focuses on the aspects of Foucault's theories on power that deal with gender and sexuality discourses, explicating the cable show Sex and the City to discuss its role in the perpetuation of the status quo of patriarchy and consumerism through gendered identities.

  • Littles: Affects and Aesthetics in Sexual Age-Play
    Sexuality & Culture https://doi.org/10.1007/s12119-018-09580-5 ORIGINAL PAPER Littles: Afects and Aesthetics in Sexual Age‑Play Katrin Tiidenberg1 · Susanna Paasonen2 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract This article explores the experiences and practices of self-identifying female sex- ual age-players. Based on interviews and observation of the age players’ blogged content, the article suggests that, rather than being fxed in one single position, our study participants move between a range of roles varying across their diferent scenes. In examining accounts of sexual play, we argue that the notion of play char- acterizes not only their specifc routines of sexual “scening” but also sexual routines, experimentations, and experiences more expansively. Further, we argue that a focus on play as exploration of corporeal possibilities allows for conceptualizing sexual preferences and practices, such as age-play, as irreducible to distinct categories of sexual identity. The notion of play makes it possible to consider sexuality in terms of transformations in afective intensities and attachments, without pigeonholing vari- ous preferences, or acts, within a taxonomy of sexual identities. In doing so, it ofers an alternative to the still prevalent categorical conceptualizations of sexuality that stigmatize people’s lived experiences and diminish the explanatory power of schol- arly and therapeutic narratives about human sexuality. Keywords Sexual age-play · Littles · Play · Afect · Tumblr As role-play pertaining to age, age-play is broadly considered a subset of BDSM (encompassing bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism; see Weiss 2011 for a discussion of the “paradigmatic theatrality” of BDSM; see also Harviainen 2011 for a discussion of BDSM as “live action role play” or kinky role-play).

  • A Discussion Guide for Piecing Me Together
    PIECING ME TOGETHER: A Discussion Guide About Race, Class, Gender, and Intersectionality PIECING ME TOGETHER A Discussion Guide About Race, Class, Gender, and Intersectionality Sometimes it feels like I leave home a whole person, sent off with kisses from Mom, who is hanging her every hope on my future. By the time I get home I feel like my soul has been shattered into a million pieces. Mom’s love repairs me… Listening to these mentors, I feel like I can prove the negative stereotypes about girls like me wrong. That I can and will do more, be more. But when I leave? It happens again. The shattering. And this makes me wonder if a black girl’s life is only about being stitched together and coming undone, being stitched together and coming undone. I wonder if there’s ever a way for a girl like me to feel whole. —PIECING ME TOGETHER (p. 85) ABOUT THIS GUIDE This guide seeks to explore how Jade in PIECING ME TOGETHER by Renée Watson (Bloomsbury) is “shattered into a million pieces” and how she and her community stitch her back together each day. Jade asks, “I wonder if there’s ever a way for a girl like me to feel whole.” That is a question readers should be asking about themselves and asking about their fellow students. This guide will explore identity, intersectionality (more on that term later), and the challenges and strengths of “piecing” oneself together. Exploring identity and intersectionality means talking about class, race, and gender. Whatever your comfort level with those conversations, this guide offers preparation, sample dialogue, and book passages to guide that conversation.
