Document Summary

Mit 2200f mapping media and cultural theory. Week 11 tutorial notes queer theory & sexuality. As we"ve learned, we are ruled by ideologies. Neglecing to examine these ideological formaions, taking them as-is, is corrosive to the mulitudes of sexual and gender ideniies; we remain enmeshed in these ideologies. We need to stop and think about why we think about sex in the ways that we do (1) sex negaivity. For something that we"re consistently surrounded by, discussing sex remains a fairly taboo subject (2) the fallacy of misplaced scale. Sexual acts (or events) are given more weight in our lives than non-sexual acts. Ex: the narraive and cultural trope of losing one"s virginity (3) hierarchical system of sexual value. Good sex -------- (area of dispute) -------- bad sex. Where do we as a culture draw the line . Miley consistently displays acions that are categorized in the bad" circle.
