Section 1 Competitor Complaints Section 1 reflects the consumer protection principles in theAustralian Consumer Law (part of the Competition and Consumer Act) (ACL). Complaints are made to the Ad Standards Industry Jury: www.adstandards.com.au/process/claimsboardprocess Section 1.2 reflects concepts in theACL in relation to misleading and deceptive conduct. To establish that advertising or marketing communication is not misleading or deceptive an advertiser may be required to provide substantiation of any claims made. This means that an advertiser must have a reasonable basis for their claims. Substantiation may be in the form of tests, studies or expert reports depending on the type of claim made. The Ad Standards Industry Jury will consider whether the information most likely to be taken from the advertisement or marketing communication by an average consumer in the target market would be reasonably regarded as truthful and honest. The Industry Jury will consider the advertiser’s stated intention, but may also consider, regardless of stated intent, that an advertisement is by design misleading or deceptive.

When it involves the female body it can also be erotic. 4 Erotic Ambiguities is a study of how contemporary women artists have recon- 5 ceptualised the figure of the female nude. Helen McDonald shows how, over 6 the past thirty years, artists have employed the idea of ambiguity to dismantle 7 the exclusive, classical ideal enshrined in the figure of the nude, and how they 8 have broadened the scope of the ideal to include differences of race, ethnicity, 9 sexuality and disability as well as gender. 20111 McDonald discusses the work of a wide range of women artists, including 1 Barbara Kruger, Judy Chicago, Mary Duffy, Zoe Leonard, Tracey Moffatt, Pat 2 Brassington and Sally Smart. She traces the shift in feminist art practices from 3 the early challenge to patriarchal representations of the female nude to contem- 4 porary, ‘postfeminist’ practices, influenced by theories of performativity, queer 5 theory and postcoloniality. McDonald argues that feminist efforts to develop 6 a more positive representation of the female body need to be reconsidered, 7 in the face of the resistant ambiguities and hybrid complexities of visual art in 8 the late 1990s. 9 30111 Helen McDonald is an Honorary Fellow in the School of Fine Arts, Classical 1 Studies and Archaeology at the University of Melbourne. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 i RUNNING HEAD 1111 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 20111 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 30111 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 40111 1 2 3 44111 ii RUNNING HEAD

    Oral history interview with Judy Dater, 2000 June 2 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Judy Dater on June 2, 2000. The interview took place in Berkeley, California, and was conducted by Paul Karlstrom for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview [TAPE 1, SIDE A] PAUL KARLSTROM: Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. An interview with photographer Judy Dater at her studio residence in Berkeley, California. The theme for this brief and focused interview is Artists and Models. This is one in a series. The date is June 2nd, year 2000. And the interviewer for the Archives is Paul Karlstrom. Having said that, now we can get down to business. We are going to be talking about a very specific subject or theme. What is said about it, of course, remains to be seen. But I’m very interested in your perspective and your own experience regarding this subject. First of all, we’re not talking about all models -- we’re not talking about for the most part professional models. I guess you would call them private models who elect to pose for your photographs or for perhaps paintings and drawings. For some reason other than the fee, $12.00 or whatever it is an hour.

  • Sexism on the Silver Screen: Misogyny and Cultural Continuity in Soviet Glasnost Cinema, 1987–1991
    the soviet and post-soviet review 44 (2017) 209-232 brill.com/spsr Sexism on the Silver Screen: Misogyny and Cultural Continuity in Soviet Glasnost Cinema, 1987–1991 Svetlana Y. Ter-Grigoryan Department of History, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio [email protected] Abstract In the early 1990s, scholars largely viewed the height of the glasnost years, 1987 to 1991, to be a culturally and socially distinct period in comparison to the rest of the Soviet epoch. One of the main pieces of evidence employed in this argument was glasnost filmmakers’ novel use of sexuality and nudity. The debate about the cultural signifi- cance of the glasnost period, however, has been muted in recent decades. In this reevaluation, I suggest that the misogynistic nature of glasnost filmmakers’ sexuality and nudity depictions actually reflected cultural continuity with previous Soviet eras. This study ultimately challenges the idea of a culturally liberal glasnost period, and supports the case for conservatism throughout the Soviet period. Keywords glasnost – sex – sexuality – film – cinema – chernukha – cultural – misogyny In the late 1980s and 1990s, scholars of Russian culture mostly viewed the years of perestroika and glasnost (1986–1991) as a socially, culturally, and morally lib- eral period in comparison to the rest of the conservative Soviet epoch.1 Among 1 Communication scholars and political scientists such as Joseph Gibbs, Isaac J. Tarasulo, and Elena Androunas argued in the late 1980s and early 1990s that the discourses of the glasnost era represented expanded social and moral liberalism in the Soviet Union. Their definitions of “liberalism,” however, typically drew from western notions of egalitarian society, as well as democratic capitalism.

  • Why Facebook Censors Art?
    52 CAES Vol. 4, № 1 (March 2018) Why Facebook censors art? Tresi Nonno independent scholar; Chiba, Japan; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Recently we have learned that Facebook has censored a photo of a famous prehistoric female figurine (Venus of Willendorf) as a pornographic image. This is an egregious case, but it is in the line of Facebook censorship of different manifestations of human body and sexuality. Behind all these cases there is an agenda, i.e.: there are Islamic notions about human body and human sexuality. Also this tendency correlates well with the facts of banning/deleting large groups of atheists/agnostics by reports of radical Muslims. Facebook is a ‘ghetto’ of SJW which is a derivative of Marxism, which in its turn is a ‘secular’ derivative of Abrahamic tradition, so the fact that Facebook follows Abrahamic attitude toward human body and sexuality is completely logical. All people of civilization should struggle against the forces of obscurantism. Nudity and sexuality aren’t sin; a tradition that inspires hatred and obscurantism is. Keywords: art; human sexuality; social network; culturalism; multiculturalism 1. Introduction into the problem Facebook is now the largest social network existing upon the globe. It is generally thought to be a rather free and convenient platform for conversation where anybody can post almost anything; however, reality is slightly more complicated. If you simply post photos of your pets and your garden you would probably never meet any problem, but if you speak out your thoughts about political and religious issues or if you post pictures containing naked bodies then you can be banned and your account can be deleted.

    205 Arguments and Observations In Support of Naturism Extensively documented with quotes, references, supporting research, and resources for further study Compiled by K. Bacher Preface THE UNITED STATES LAGS FAR BEHIND most of the rest of Western Civilization in its negative attitude toward the human body. While most of Europe is comfortable with the concept of nude recreation on beaches and in vacation resorts, here in the U.S., conservative political action groups seek to criminalize even the most innocent exposure of the human body. Often these groups gain support by purporting to defend "family values" or "Christian morality." Although these groups are growing in political power, they represent only a small portion of the American population. And participation in nude recreation is also growing. More and more Americans are discovering the pleasures of skinny-dipping with their families in the local reservoir, or sunbathing in the buff at the local beach. Membership in nudist organizations is growing by leaps and bounds. More than ever, Naturists need powerful arguments to defend their chosen lifestyle against those who cannot see beyond their own misconceptions and preconceived notions. We need evidence and testimony to encourage others to give Naturism a try. For several years, I found myself making claims like these: "Actually, Mom, taking the kids to a nudist park is good for them." "The ideals of Naturism are consistent with the goals of women's rights." "A lot of famous people don't think skinnydipping's such a bad thing." "There's nothing in the Bible that says it's wrong to go nude." "Naturism has some real psychological benefits." "Not everyone in the world thinks nudity is so bad, you know." I knew that these statements were true, but when pressed, I could not back them up with concrete references.

  • Dramaturgies of the Naked Skin: Homo Nudus Plays Sexuality
    Platform, Vol. 9, No. 1, Sensuality and Sexuality, Spring 2015 Dramaturgies of the Naked Skin: Homo Nudus plays Sexuality By Judita Vivas Abstract The following article questions the relationship between naked and clothed theatre performers and the resulting sexualisation of the body. Contrary to the emphasis on the genital area—which arguably constitutes the sexualised body in contemporary perfor- mance (Karl Toepfer 1996)—I argue for a more comprehensive bodily engagement (with a special focus on the human skin) when it comes to the creation and perception of nakedness. Building on Aoife Monks’ idea of nudity as a corporeal costume, this article looks at three examples of contemporary dance theatre—Dubois’ Tragédie (2014); Platel’s Out of Context: For Pina (2010); Waltz’s Körper (2000)—in order to demonstrate that the performer is not necessarily required to ‘take the pants off’ in order to appear naked. I argue for the active involvement of the performer’s skin (skin ‘openly staring’, ‘enticing’, or just ‘peeping through’) which not only constitutes the naked bodily manifestation but also the sex- ualisation (or lack of it) of the body in theatre. This body is never passive: on the contrary, while the “real” or “truthful” body is no longer accessible (if it ever was), the performers (with the help of the choreographers and designers) are capable of manipulating and multiplying their bodily reality, which allows them to play sexuali- ty1-to create diverse corporeal and sexual meanings. 1 The term “sexuality”, as it is used in this article, does not refer to sexual identity; instead it connotes the sexualisation of the body: sexually suggestive meanings, connotations, and imagery created through and by the body of the performer.

  • Mediated Exhibitionism
    Mediated Exhibitionism: The Naked Body in Theory, Performance, and Virtual Space Matthew T. Jones, Ph.D. Assistant Professor County College of Morris Abstract Through a review of theory pertaining to nudism, nude performance, and mediated nudity, this paper seeks to provide a better understanding of the practice of mediated exhibitionism: the phenomenon of amateur performers exposing their nude bodies on the Internet. I begin with the historical context of public nudity as described in the literature concerning nudist movements in the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Australia. Following from this is a synthesis of scholarship on the subject of nude performance, focusing specifically on amateur performances in public contexts. Areas of particular concern in these sections include the social and cultural pressures exerted upon the naked body, political control, and the subversive uses of public nudity. The final section is a culmination of previous theory used to elucidate the practice of mediated exhibitionism. The historical development of nudity in traditional media forms (analog photography, film, and television), is described in terms of the objectification and idealization of the naked body. It is argued that objectification and idealization are a consequence of factors ranging from media form to economics. Conversely, because the Internet is highly interactive, new media (websites, electronic bulletin boards, chat rooms, etc.) are composed largely of user-generated content which is more diverse and representative of individual users. Thus, it is maintained that mediated exhibitionism is an avenue toward body acceptance and appreciation that involves the user in a process of collaborative identity formation. Lastly, mediated exhibitionism in user-constructed fantasy scenarios is considered in terms of its ability to liberate the user from repressive systems of social control.
