How does our environment police our sexuality?
Do the environments in which we live police our sexuality? How do the places that we live our lives and spend our time constrain, ignore, shape, incentivize and disincentivize sexual behavior? What is ‘sexuality’, and what makes it special compared to other human activities, and how does this distinction map onto space? What does it mean that we have sex in private, highly interiorized spaces, and mask (if only with extremely thin, contoured, and presenting clothing) our sexuality in public? How does the city itself encourage certain sexual arrangements, groupings and dynamics, and discourage others? What would a more public, present, and immediate orientation and availability of sex (and/or places to have sex) mean for our culture and for the power dynamics that have regulated and/or benefitted from the regulation of sex? This week, Eric Wycoff Rogers will introduce these issues for broader discussion and outcomes.
