Course Description
Using contemporary sociological and political theories of identity, gender, and sexuality, this course explores major transformations in the realm of sexual intimacy in modern times to examine newly emerged ethical issues, moral dilemmas, and social conflicts over sexual intimacy. Four inter-related domains are used to examine issues: democracy, human sexual rights, and citizenship - how these issues are important in talking about intimate relationships; mass media and popular culture - how private matters become increasingly subject to public scrutiny; economy and consumption - how intimacy is increasingly commodified and commercialized; and science, medicine, and computer technology - how medical and computer technologies foster new pleasures, bodies, and practices and the problems that arise from this.
