Document Summary
Sex wars: all become lesbians because sex is patriarchal and porn is patriarchal. Porn was dangerous - but maybe it can be liberating. Debates about how we bring together sexualisation - not denying sexual agency but also recognizing objectification. Long history of recuperating sexual pleasure and experimentation through critical practices that nurture the political implications of sexual acts and transgressions. Attempt to move beyond the notion of semantic derogation (nguyen) Readings talking about hollywood and objectification is happening. Idea we are more interested in the appearance of being sexy instead of be sexual, play boy - what is hot and sex has changed - Disconnect between sexiness and sex itself - paris hilton (hot blonde, wealth, anti intellectual, how her boyfriends talk about her as sexy but not sexual). Concentration on that wealth - wealth is sexy, and that sexy means its worth our attention. Worth immediately implies our value - the way culture frameworks privilege those individuals over others.
