SUMMARY:Sex Objects and Sexy Subjects: A Critique of Sexiness
UID:20260425T085643Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6b96c54f56-bljdq

LOCATION:Malet Street\, London\, United Kingdom\, WC1
DESCRIPTION:<strong>Abstract:</strong> Feminists have sometimes been inclined to abandon the notion of sexiness because of the way it is entwined with sexual objectification of women. We argue that because the sexual gaze is an important form of interpersonal recognition and validation with both individual and political implications\, sexiness should be not abandoned but reshaped into an ethically adequate form. Our revisionist notion of sexiness has two tenets: (1) the ethical sexual gaze should seek out not conventionally attractive bodies\, but a wide range of bodies in all of their rich particularity\, and (2) attributions of sexiness should be directed not to bodies alone\, but to embodied persons\, with specific attention to their sexual subjectivity.<br><br>\nThe talk will be free and open to all.
