Download or read book Affective Sexual Pedagogies in Film and Television written by Kyra Clarke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular film and television hold valuable potential for learning about sex and sexuality beyond the information-based model of sex education currently in schools. This book argues that the representation of complicated—or "messy"—relationships in these popular cultural forms makes them potent as affective pedagogical moments. It endeavours to develop new sexual literacies by contemplating how pedagogical moments, that is, fleeting moments which disrupt expectations or create discomfort, might enrich the available discourses of sexuality and gender, especially those available to adolescents. In Part One, Clarke critiques the heteronormative discourses of sex education that produce youth in particularly gendered ways, noting that "rationality" is often expected to govern experiences that are embodied and arguably inherently incoherent. Part Two explores public intimacy, contemplating the often overlapping and confused boundaries between public and private.

Book excerpt: Going Postal By: R.J. DiPerna The United States Postal Service has experienced twenty-seven mass shootings from 1970 to 2021, with more than fifty people losing their lives. Why? What pushes someone over the edge into violence? Is it a single noticeable event or a culmination of many small events piled on top of each other that cause someone to break? Perhaps, if pushed hard enough, any of us can snap! Going postal is based on actual events. The author speaks from an insider point of view, which not only highlights people's flaws but the flaws of a large governmental agency whose vast rules and regulations break down, leaving workers to feel like they have to take matters into their own hands. This novel delves into mental illness, addiction, verbal and physical abuse, domestic violence, sexual harassment, friendship, romance, betrayal, and revenge. The two main female characters, Gemma and Dani, are hoping for a fresh start. Instead, they find themselves in the precarious position of losing everything after a bitter battle erupts between them. Both women need their secure job to be set free, so they ruthlessly decide to do whatever it takes to hold onto their livelihoods. While the women face-off, alliances are formed, thrusting others into the growing turmoil. The fighter instinct inside both women is the driving force that pits management, the union and coworkers against each other. As a result, five characters reach their breaking point, each bent on revenge.

But when their headmistress announces that The Weston School will merge with its rival the following year, their longtime feud spirals into chaos. To protect the school that has been her safe haven since her parents’ divorce, Doe puts together a plan to prove once and for all that Winfield boys and Weston girls just don’t mix, starting with a direct hit at Three, Winfield’s boy king and her nemesis. In a desperate move to win, Doe strikes a bargain with Three’s cousin, Wells: If he fake dates her to get under Three’s skin, she’ll help him get back his rightful family heirloom from Three. As the pranks escalate, so do her feelings for her fake boyfriend, and Doe spins lie after lie to keep up her end of the deal.

So why does she feel so lonely? Sixty-six-year-old Shirl didn’t expect to be looking after a baby again, let alone a grown woman who should know better. But with her daughter Gemma struggling to adapt to motherhood, and her boss Fliss increasingly reliant on Shirl to run her life, Shirl never gets a moment to herself. Fliss might not be great at life’s chores, but she is great at seizing opportunities, so when the chance for a jaunt to France’s beautiful Brittany comes her way, she decides it’s just what she and Shirl need. And as the sun-soaked town of Plouvannec-Sur-Mer begins to work its magic on the women, they realise there’s another way to live.
