Book excerpt: A third of American women experience sexual violence in their lifetime, with a combined eighty-two percent of victims ranging from 18-64 years of age. Many survivors of sexual violence find recreational pole dancing to be an empowering, transformative experience. This theoretical offering reviews autoethnographic, heuristic, and journalistic literature to locate pole dancing within the feminist discourse of empowerment and degradation, and compares the structures and benefits of recreational pole dance classes to therapeutic frameworks. Then this paper analyzes neurobiological and evidence-based research to contextualize art therapy as an effective treatment method for trauma. Finally, recreational pole dancing is situated in regards to sexual health and somatics as a sex positive, pleasure-oriented, and creative healing process. This research aims to legitimize pole dancing within the art therapy community as an expressive art modality that offers transformative qualities for trauma processing and sexual healing. Possibilities for integrating further sex education into clinical practices, as well as learning from dance/movement modalities are considered.

Global catastrophes, infrastructures crumbling, inequalities within social systems, terrorism and the oxymoron of Holy War does not rest peacefully in my mind. Domestic abuse a symptom of unrest and an era of another "stolen generation" via blended families, the fallout of divorce. Feminism bravely charting the illogical and never ending suffocation of the privileged white male patriarchy. The latter not experiencing sexist marginalization but "sensitive" to the conundrum it inherited. While we watch our daughters experience a sexualized "raunch" culture where greater demands trivialize idealism. I hope the methodology inside brings you peace friend and shines a beaming light through your beautiful soul. It's time to hold hands in the playground.

Download or read book Sport Art and Seductive Beauty written by Carlee Sachs-Krook and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 21st century, pole dancing entered the context of formalized competitions in the US, where it is often referred to as pole. There competitors contort around poles performing dare-devilish acrobatics for judges who award medals to top scoring routines based on standardized judging criteria. Competitive pole draws together a variety of co-opted movement forms including acrobatics, gymnastics, lyrical dance, and the styles of pole dance performed in strip clubs. The national competition hosted by the United States Pole Sports Federation (USPSF) divides pole into the categories of sport, art, and classique, which it advertises as respectively emphasizing athleticism, artistry, and sensuality. In the contextual shift from strip clubs to competition stage, the USPSF negotiates competitive pole's relationship to the equally stigmatized and fantasized profession of stripping, often making moves to disavow ties to adult entertainment. Doing so, the judging criteria of each category create distinct aesthetic hierarchies entrenched in gender, race, and class politics which competitors navigate through their routines. My thesis, which takes the form of an introduction, three chapters, and a conclusion, explores the aesthetic hierarchies constructed by the competitive pole sub-categories of pole sport, art, and classique. I aim to trace the techniques used in each category to distance pole from its ties to strip clubs while recognizing the embedded gender, race, and class politics of each category's judging criteria that instruct the form's parameters which fantasize the stripper as dangerous and desirable Other. I also examine how select performers tool the movement aesthetics of their respective categories so as to account for performer's authorial agency within the form and theorize the politics their performances mobilize in the process. To do so, I conduct movement analysis of two select competition routine videos from each of the categories posted by the USPSF on their YouTube page and critically analyze select social media content created by pole practitioners. I ground my analysis in scholarship on commercial striptease, pole fitness, dancesport, and competition dance while drawing on feminist, queer, and critical race theory.

Download or read book Zen and Therapy written by Manu Bazzano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zen and Therapy brings together aspects of the Buddhist tradition, contemporary western therapy and western philosophy. By combining insightful anecdotes from the Zen tradition with clinical studies, discussions of current psychotherapy theory and forays into art, film, literature and philosophy, Manu Bazzano integrates Zen Buddhist practice with psychotherapy and psychology. This book successfully expands the existing dialogue on the integration of Buddhism, psychology and philosophy, highlighting areas that have been neglected and bypassed. It explores a third way between the two dominant modalities, the religious and the secular, a positively ambivalent stance rooted in embodied practice, and the cultivation of compassion and active perplexity. It presents a life-affirming view: the wonder, beauty and complexity of being human. Intended for both experienced practitioners and beginners in the fields of psychotherapy and philosophy, Zen and Therapy provides an enlightening and engaging exploration of a previously underexplored area.
