Titel: Beyond the `Sexualization of Culture' Thesis : An Intersectional Analysis of `Sixpacks',`Midriffs' and `Hot Lesbians' in Advertising
Auteur Rosalind Gill.
Impressum Sexualities, 12 (2009) 2 (apr), p. 137-160.
Samenvatting This article argues that the notion of the `sexualization of culture' is too general to be a useful conceptual tool. The article has two main objectives. First, it seeks to interrogate the notion of `sexualization' as a way of understanding the proliferation of sexually explicit imagery within contemporary advertising. Rather than taking up a position `for' or `against' `sexualization' (in the familiar way), it seeks to open up the notion in order to explore the diverse practices that are commonly grouped together under this heading. Using advertising as an example, it argues that `sexualization' is far from being a singular or homogenous process, that different people are `sexualized' in different ways and with different meanings — and indeed that many remain excluded from what has been called the `democratization of desire' operating in visual culture. Secondly, the article develops a feminist intersectional analysis to critically read some of the different ways in which advertising might be said to be sexualized. It looks at three different and contrasting, but easily recognizable `figures' within contemporary advertising: the good-looking male `sixpack', the sexually agentic heterosexual `midriff' and the `hot lesbian', usually intertwined with her beautiful double or Other. The aim is to highlight the point that sexualization does not operate outside of processes of gendering, radicalization and classing, and works within a visual economy that remains profoundly ageist and heteronormative. The article argues that an attention to differences is crucial to understanding the phenomena, practices and scopic regimes that are often lumped together under the heading `equalization of culture'.

Auteur Noelle R. Collier, Christine A. Lumadue, H. Ray Wooten.
Impressum Journal of Homosexuality, 56 (2009) 5 (july), p. 575-609.
Samenvatting This qualitative study of television reception examined the ways in which a sample of lesbian fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Xena: Warrior Princess incorporated their experiences as viewers, fans, and Internet users with relation to their sexual identity as lesbians. Specifically, this study examined the ways in which participants used these television programs to inform their sexual identity development. Results indicated that participants used television and the Internet to normalize and affirm lesbian experience, to decrease negative feelings regarding their lesbian identities, and to decrease social isolation.

Titel: Coming to Terms with the In-Between : A Graduate Student Forum on Being Queer in Media Studies
Auteur Alexandra Juhasz, Ming-Yuen S. Ma.
Impressum GLQ : A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, 15 (2009) 4 , p. 611-612.
Samenvatting Six graduate students working within media studies reflect upon their experiences and studies evidencing a shared attention to the "in-betweens" of identity formation, graduate school, disciplines, and professional practices. All seek and speak with a queer voice to address how power plays out in graduate school, often in the minute exercises of discipline and learning understood through sexual metaphors. The authors also exhibit a noteworthy interest and investment in popular culture that leads each to consider the larger implications of their intellectual work.

Titel: Effeminophobia, Misogyny and Queer Friendship : The Cultural Themes of Channel 4's Playing It Straight
Auteur Niall Richardson.
Impressum Sexualities, 12 (2009) 4 (aug), p. 525-544.
Samenvatting This article considers the theme of the Channel 4 show 'Playing It Straight' (2005), a variation on the 'dating show' genre in which a female contestant must select the man of her dreams from 10 suitors. However, the twist in the show's format is that not all of the men are heterosexually identified. The article contends that the show's narrative is not homophobic but effeminophobic. Second, the article analyses how the show positions all the male contestants, both gay and straight, within the matrix of New Lad style homosocial bonding. Finally, the article considers how the show mobilises one of the dominant cultural themes in contemporary popular culture: the 'safe eroticism' or 'queer' friendship that can develop between a straight woman and a gay identified man.

Titel: Elegant Caucasians, Amorous Arabs, and Invisible Others : Signs and Images of Foreigners in Japanese BL Manga
Auteur Kazumi Nagaike.
Impressum Intersections: Gender and Sexuality in Asia and the Pacific, (2009) 20 (april), p. .
Annotatie http://intersections.anu.edu.au/issue20/nagaike.htm
Samenvatting In contemporary Japanese society, manga (comic magazines and books) generally represent a dominant force in constituting Japanese popular culture. Japanese manga discourse provides various theoretical perspectives from which we can analyze controversial aspects of the Japanese socio/cultural environment, precisely because manga, as products of Japanese popular culture, reflect the political, ideological, and socio/cultural characteristics of contemporary Japanese society. During the early 1970s, many Japanese women started writing/reading novels and comic books that featured narratives of male-male romance and/or eroticism, and nowadays this genre of male homosexual narrative, commonly called BL, has been widely acknowledged as a significant component of Japanese popular culture. BL, which stands for Boys' Love, is a term coined during the 1990s to characterise female fantasies concerning idealised male homosexual relationships. This genre has also been defined by other terms, such as yaoi (pornographic narratives that disregard traditional narrative structures), bishonen mono (narratives about beautiful boys), tanbi mono (aesthetic narratives), and June mono (named after June magazine, which first emerged during the 1970s as a pioneering venue for female fantasies of male homosexuality).

Titel: `Hot Lesbians' : Young People's Talk About Representations of Lesbianism
Auteur Sue Jackson.
Impressum Sexualities, 12 (2009) 2 (apr), p. 199-224.
Samenvatting Media representation of heterosexual alternatives is particularly salient for young people negotiating sexuality, more so for those with limited access to other cultural resources to inform their homosexual understandings. With the centrality of media as resource in mind, we present in this article findings from our focus group research with 25 high school students aged 16-18 in which we invited them to discuss representations of homosexuality in the media. Our analyses, which focus here on lesbian sexuality, used a thematic discursive approach. We found constructions of lesbianism as `heteroflexible', `hot' and experimental to be common patterns in participants' talk, whereas notions of lesbian desire were largely silenced. While most of the talk drew on heteronormativity, we found small pockets of its deconstruction in mobilization of alternative discourses and rejection of sexual categories.

Titel: Looking for M- : Queer Temporality, Black Political Possibility, and Poetry from the Future
Auteur Kara Keeling.
Impressum GLQ : A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies, 15 (2009) 4 , p. 565-582.
Samenvatting Daniel Peddle’s film The Aggressives makes perceptible an intolerable yet quotidian violence, as the index of our time. Putting queer theories of temporality into proximity with anticolonial ones, this essay seeks to remain aware of what in The Aggressives escapes attempts to contain it yet nonetheless can be felt and perceived even though - or especially if - it remains unrecognizable or unintelligible to our current common senses. We can think of what escapes these operations as the content that exceeds its expression, that through which poetry from the future might be perceived yet not recognized. Poetry from the future interrupts the habitual formation of bodies, and it is an index of a time to come in which what exists potently, even if not (yet) effectively, today but escapes us will find its time.

Titel: Performing Translatinidad : Miriam the Mexican Transsexual Reality Show Star and the Tropicalization of Difference in Anglo-Australian Media
Auteur Vek Lewis.
Impressum Sexualities, 12 (2009) 2 (apr), p. 225-250.
Samenvatting In 2004, a new celebrity hit the Australian television circuit. Billed as a mysterious, seductive Latina with a secret, she graced our shores in a TV reality show called `There's Something About Miriam': a dating game with a twist. Set in Ibiza, Miriam vies for the attention of six eligible British bachelors without letting them in on her transsexual status. In her ambiguity, Miriam is the embodiment of all things seen as other and exotic; in the context of Anglo-Australian understandings, she is the marker of all things Hispanic. Wildly popular in Australia, Miriam stepped out of one reality show into another: the Australian version of Big Brother. The TV network promised to deliver more on this boy turned girl, whose body provided the right kind of slippage to become the site of inscription for a range of repeated tropical fictions.

Titel: Queer Appearances : Gilbert & George's Visual Strategies
Auteur David Dibosa.
Impressum Sexualities, 12 (2009) 2 (apr), p. 251-262.
Samenvatting The use that visual artists have made of popular media, such as television, has provided a point of critical interest over recent decades. Contemporary artists, Gilbert & George, followed the pace set by media-savvy artists, through their recent television appearance on the popular talk-show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross. Their appearance on prime-time TV raised a series of questions concerning gay visibility, mainstream media and the visual subterfuge deployed in contemporary art. This article seeks to examine such issues against the background of political struggles over public and private space.

Titel: Queering the Small Screen : Homosexuality and Televisual Citizenship in Spectacular Societies
Auteur Giovanni Porfido.
Impressum Sexualities, 12 (2009) 2 (apr), p. 161-179.
Samenvatting This article examines the question of queer televisual citizenship in the context of late-capitalist or spectacular societies. It investigates the heteronormativity of the current visual regime and it analyses the importance of images in the articulation of queer subjectivities and in the social experience of queer identity. Looking at the historical changes in the way queer people have been portrayed on British TV, the article analyses the problem of queer televisual absence/presences in the neo-liberal representational arena and discusses the implications of queer visual inclusion for debates on sexual citizenship and democracy in multivisual Britain.

Titel: Staging Gender and Sexuality in Experimental TV Entertainment
Auteur Wencke Møhleisen.
Impressum Journal of Homosexuality, 54 (2008) 1/2 , p. 169-191.
Samenvatting Via examples from recent Norwegian experimental TV shows, this article explores the function of "eye-catchers," parodic (hetero)sexualization, female masquerade and neo-masculinization as strategies for "repetitions with a difference" of traditional styles and motifs by female show hosts, as well as the queer gendering and sexualization of men and masculinities by their male counterparts. Both formats represent innovative renegotiations of gender and sexuality that illustrate the relationship between post-modernism and queer aesthetics.

Impressum Journal of Homosexuality, 56 (2009) 6 (aug), p. 738-756.
Samenvatting Although American television programs targeted at children and adolescents posit universal heterosexuality and never openly allude to LGBT persons, a content analysis of 102 episodes of 25 contemporary children's programs revealed many examples of resistance to the heteronormative ideology: intimate same-sex friendships; inclusive statements or stage business; scenes that hint at the existence of same-sex desire; gender-transgressive or otherwise gay-stereotyped characters; and jokes and references that require a knowledge of gay culture. The impact of this resistance on viewers is analyzed through fan fiction and artwork, and potential explanations are examined.
