Foucault and the sexuality construct

J S McNair

Michel Foucault inThe History of Sexuality Volume 1: An Introductionexplains power and ultimately demonstrates that sexuality is a construct created by discourse. To begin to understand Foucault’s argument, we must start by learning why he believed that our widely held theory on sexuality was erroneous. The repressive hypothesis is a prevalent theory that analyzes how our current notions of sexuality developed. This hypothesis assumes that during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance a free and easy attitude prevailed toward sexuality. Then, in the seventeenth century the bourgeoisie repressed sexuality. The repressive hypothesis holds that the bourgeoisie was concerned with economic productivity and did not want energy wasted on sexual pursuits. Therefore, sex outside of procreative purposes was repressed. Consequently, if we want to liberate ourselves, the theory maintains we need to become free and open about our sexuality.

Foucault did not deny that with the rise of…

Rosaleen Norton – Legendary Libertine Artist and Pagan Wayfarer

J S McNair

I went to the world premiere of “The Witch of Kings Cross”, the brilliant movie-length documentary of the charismatic, enigmatic and fully unique character that was Rosaleen Norton. I also had her original book of drawings in my possession for a few months. She was someone we had never before seen the likes of…and will never again. This documentary shows the eternal battle between the artist and society’s inane belief in its moral superiority. It also shows how this baseless belief can have terrible repercussions for some in the real world. The documentary is a gift to artists and free thinkers everywhere.

“This is Trump rally organizer and friend of Milo Yiannopoulos, Ali Akbar Alexander. He holds a lot of political power in the Trump scene, which he has been caught flexing recently in an effort to get teens to send him pictures of ducks. The really bad ones. The kind even waterfowl enthusiasts would say are too far. And illegal.

We read an article detailing Alexander’s crimes and his comments on the situation. I’ll let you be the judge of if his apology seemed genuine or remorseful. We also take a look at a couple of video clips of this guy. This is one of the more horrific things I’ve seen lately. If this topic is sensitive for you, please take care of yourself and catch me on the next one.”

Here’s a duck picture for Alexander…

…I support their alternative lifestyle! 😉

“Micheal Shannon who plays General Zod in the Snyderverse and The Flash, claims people are just picking on Ezra Miller and seems to hand wave the actor’s illegal and disturbing behavior. This after some production people said you’d forget all about Ezra Miller because the movie is so darned good. But will you?”

I think it will be okay…Go see the movie…I will.

The actor is teaming up with Hogwarts Legacy for… something? A livestream? Who knows. He plays his cards right, JK Rowling might invite him back to the HBO reboot…”

“Randi fills us in on more recent findings involving Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni’s financial discrepancies. It is now reported that Ginni Thomas received hidden, arranged payments from GOP Activist Leonard Leo in 2012. Leo ensured no record of Ginni’s name was on any of the billing paperwork. Will the Justice and his wife face consequences?”
