Spahr, Matthew Steven. "Breadfruit Fantasies." VCU Scholars Compass, 2007. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/1529.
Full textAbstract:
Breadfuit is a strange thing. It's a starchy potato-like sustenance not particularly noteworthy by most accounts. But it's history is amazing, an epic journey. Relocated from the Samoan island of Upalu to Oahu, Hawaii in the 12th Century as well as transplanted from Tahiti, as an economical food source for slaves in the West Indies in 1780 the lowly breadfruit has been held in the hands of Fletcher Christian, Captain Bligh, James Cook, King Kamehameha and innumerous other nameless individuals including Matt Spahr. This fruit contains the weight of colonialism, capitalism, exploration and tropical fantasy under its skin. The collision of histories such as these and the identities of related participants are the focus of the following essay.

Bivona, Jenny M. "Women's erotic rape fantasies." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2008. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc9118/.
Full textAbstract:
This study evaluated the rape fantasies of a female undergraduate sample (N = 355) using a sexual fantasy checklist, a sexual fantasy log, a rape fantasy scenario presentation, and measures of personality. Results indicated that 62% of women have had a rape fantasy. For these women, the median rape fantasy frequency was about four times per year, with 14% of participants reporting that they had rape fantasies at least once a week. Further, rape fantasies exist on a continuum between erotic and aversive, with 9% completely aversive, 45% completely erotic, and 46% both erotic and aversive. Women who are more erotophilic, open to fantasy, and higher in self-esteem tended to have more frequent and erotic rape fantasies than other women. The major theories that have been proposed to explain why women have rape fantasies were tested. Results indicated that sexual blame avoidance and ovulation theories were not supported. Openness to sexuality, sexual desirability, and sympathetic activation theories received partial support.

Stardust, Zahra, Kath Albury, Daniel Joyce, and Ramaswami Harindranath. "Alternative Pornographies, Regulatory Fantasies, Resistance Politics." Thesis, University of New South Wales, 2019. https://www.unsworks.unsw.edu.au/permalink/f/5gm2j3/unsworks_59501.
Full textAbstract:
Alternative pornographies position themselves as contributing to a revolutionary and democratising social and political movement, with the capacity to change our relationships to sex via interventions in the representational and production practices of porn. Meanwhile, current trends in regulation focus upon preventing minors’ ‘exposure’ to pornography, prohibiting ‘extreme pornography’, and making condom use compulsory. Australia has a world-renowned queer and feminist porn movement, but onerous criminal, classification and customs legislation restrict its production, screening and sale. In this study, I investigated the aspirations and limitations of alternative pornographies in the current regulatory framework and explored whether they could inform a better approach. I took a four-pronged methodology involving: 35 qualitative interviews with Australian porn performers, producers and stakeholders to speak back to legal and policy frameworks; auto-ethnography (performing in and producing pornography) to enrich the interviews and highlight recurring themes; review of legislation and case law to understand the overarching regulatory climate; and archival research at the Eros Foundation Archives and the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives to provide the historical context. I found that alternative pornographies practice a prefigurative politics, pioneering ethical processes that emphasise performer-centred care, informed consent, collaborative decision-making, transparency, accountability, and joint ownership. However, they are complicated by a heteronormative legal framework that criminalises non-normative intimacies, engineering specific bodies and practices that can be viewed; an economic environment that co-opts sexual subcultures, encouraging unpaid labour whilst centralising profits in the hands of distributors; and a technological context whereby private platforms arbitrate community standards, incentivising the performance of safe, sanitised and risk-averse representations of sex. Alternative pornographies make provocations to regulators: they challenge the sequestration of sex as exceptional, the positioning of sex as without redeeming value, the pathologisation of kink practices, and the decision-making criteria for acceptable content. But further, their internal dialogues reveal provocations for social movements more generally: the limits of strategies for visibility and inclusivity, the risks of employing a politics of respectability, the pitfalls of investing in law reform, the importance of listening to the most marginalised, and the value of imagining alternatives beyond the existing terms of reference.

Cooper, Victoria Elizabeth. "Fantasies of the North : medievalism and identity in Skyrim." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/16875/.
Full textAbstract:
The primary text of this thesis is Skyrim, a fantasy role-playing game released in 2011 to huge commercial success and critical acclaim. Through this text, the project explores the intersection of medievalist fantasy, politics, and whiteness. It investigates the parallels between political medievalisms, playful medievalisms, and the ways in which medieval fantasy is used to reinvent or reaffirm white identities. The Middle Ages, as a time period, an imagined geographic space, and an ideological concept, is often nostalgically recalled as a key element in Western nationalism and identity formation. Skyrim provides a major case study through which to interrogate the tropes of medieval fantasy in order to understand how the genre situates itself as a space of creativity and resistance, but in fact maintains conservative social values. Furthermore, it asks how players engage in identity play in medieval fantasy games, and to what extent Skyrim’s politics encourage discussion and reflection. This thesis is highly interdisciplinary in its form and utilises multiple methodologies to explore the construction of the self and the other through medievalism in fantasy. Traditional humanities methods are combined with a survey of players’ narrative choices and modes of identification with characters and factions within Skyrim, as well as analysis of ‘gamer’-activism in popular politics. Ultimately, although the games explored are established to be highly conservative in their modes of racial representation, the thesis finds that players are actively engaged in identity play. Although this is limited in many ways by game design—especially where medieval fantasy genre conventions are heeded—the potential for game worlds to destabilise racial boundaries and provide a space for identity play is acknowledged, opening up several avenues for further research in the fields of enquiry.

Peabody, Seth. "Environmental Fantasies: Mountains, Cities, and Heimat in Weimar Cinema." Thesis, Harvard University, 2015. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:17467382.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation analyzes filmic environments within Weimar cinema and argues for a concept of Heimat in which the landscapes of modernity are embedded into the environments of home. Mountain films such as Der heilige Berg enact a visual mechanization of the Alpine landscape; industrial films such as Sprengbagger 1010 constellate pastoral and modernized scenes in a similar fashion to contemporary Heimat club journals; and urban films such as Menschen am Sonntag reveal the ways in which the city figures as Heimat within Weimar film. Further, film journals display contradictory discourses surrounding Heimat before the standardization of idyllic rural scenes in the postwar Heimatfilm genre.
These filmic environments interact with the real-world environment in complex and multi-directional ways. They participate in the development of new ways of seeing, marketing, and using the environment and function as nodes within sociopolitical debates regarding human communities and physical landscapes. These findings complicate arguments made by environmental historians who have claimed that the German notion of Heimat, encompassing both natural and cultural elements, might offer a useful alternative to the essentialism of the American wilderness ideal. In fact, the image of Heimat as a rural nature-culture hybrid, at least within film, only became dominant in the Nazi era. Within Weimar cinema, the term Heimat represents the focal point of a much more diverse and open discussion of environmental values.Germanic Languages and Literatures

Mohammadi, Doostdar Alireza. "Fantasies of Reason: Science, Superstition, and the Supernatural in Iran." Thesis, Harvard University, 2012. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:10215.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines uncertainties about the supernatural among members of the urban middle class in Tehran, Iran. In particular, I attend to the ways in which the category of the supernatural (mavara) has become, for some people, an object of potential scientific (`elmi) inquiry that must be distinguished from approaches usually ascribed to the rural, the uneducated, and the poor, often deemed as either superstitions (khorafat) or parochically religious (dini). By examining a range of encounters with the supernatural - such as attempts to explain communications with the souls of the dead, make sense of spirit possession, and differentiate real magic from charlatanism - I highlight the varied modalities through which perspectives and forms of reasoning imagined to be rational and scientific are brought to bear on matters that are understood to lie, at least partially, within the purview of religious knowledge. I situate such supernatural encounters against a backdrop of state disciplinary and coercive measures, thereby illuminating important shifts in Iran's politico-religious landscape in the past two decades, such as the waning of the religious authority of the Shi`i ulama among certain sections of society. This declining authority does not necessarily imply a weakened interest in Islam (although this is sometimes the case). Rather, it has opened up a space for reception and deliberation of a multiplicity of sources of religious knowledge, both Islamic and non-Islamic. These include forms of Western-imported spirituality and occultism that have been entering Iran for over a century, with their most recent wave consisting of translated texts of New Age spirituality, self-help success literature, and popular psychology that have gained popularity since the end of the war with Iraq. The metaphysical models on offer through these spiritual systems are usually promoted and understood as scientific rather than religious. That is, rather than being seen as contradicting Islamic notions, these formulations are often viewed as parallel to them. By attending to such notions and their everyday manifestations, my project brings into focus various hybrid forms of religious-scientific knowledge, experience, and discourse that have largely been ignored in the study of modern Muslim societies.

Dubois, Stephanie L. "Gender differences in the emotional content of written sexual fantasies." Virtual Press, 1998. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1115758.
Full textAbstract:
The limited body of research on the emotional tone of women's and men's written sexual fantasies has relied on qualitative and/or subjective measures of affect. In this study, the Dictionary of Affect in Language (Whissell, 1989) was used to obtain two quantitative measures, Activation and Evaluation, of the emotional tone of sexual fantasies written by male (n=71) and female (n=119) university students. It was hypothesized that men would score higher than women on Activation, which is associated with arousal and action, and women higher than men on Evaluation, which is associated with pleasant feelings. Only the latter hypothesis was confirmed. Men scored higher on a measure of erotophilia-erotophobia than did women (although not on a measure of sex guilt), but controlling for erotophilia did not eliminate the observed affective difference in written sexual fantasy. Limitations of the study and other possible uses of the Dictionary in sex research are discussed.Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Full textAbstract:
This study will look at fantasies of the mechanical body in a series of close readings of key modernist and contemporary texts. It will argue that these texts are sites of resistance or repression, in which unconscious and / or cultural narratives about the death drive have left their traces. Part One, Chapters 1-3, explores the links between war and fantasy, and between fantasy and gender. Chapter One looks at the art and writings of the Italian Futurists and English Vorticists, with the focus on Marinetti and Lewis, to consider how the rationalized bodies of the soldier and worker might be seen as the covert problems underpinning the fantasy, returning to it in the form of the repressed. Chapter Two concerns the writings of Ernst Jünger, where war, modern labour, the incursion of danger into everyday life, and photography are seen to provide signs of the emergence of the Typus, an organic construction, who has learnt to see himself as devoid of feeling, turning the death drive into the will to power in acts of aggression, and for whom the function of the eye is the same as that of the weapon. Chapter Three investigates the problem of war-shock and the shocks of cinema in First World War film footage of shellshocked soldiers, Lang's Metropolis, and Chaplin's Modern Times. It shows how discourses of hysteria, feminization and commodity relations form the common ground between the cultural reception of both shelishock and cinema, and how film-makers and critics responded to both sets of debates. Part Two, Chapters 4-5, explores the links between the machine, the maternal body and the death drive in the Terminator and Alien films, and considers the question of affect, mourning, and identification in Cronenberg's Crash.

Taylor, Audrey I. "Time in the secondary world fantasies of Patricia A. McKillip." Thesis, Anglia Ruskin University, 2015. https://arro.anglia.ac.uk/id/eprint/579919/1/AITthesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to examine time in the secondary world fantasies of Patricia A. McKillip. Very little work has been done previously on McKillip, and none examines such a broad range of her works. Taking a strict definition of secondary world, I investigate McKillip’s fantasy books that fit within this parameter to see whether there is a unifying principal behind time, in all its forms, in her work. Although time has been examined in fantasies that are obviously about time, very little has been done in the style of Mark Currie or Paul Riceour, who examine time in books that contain time but do not seem to be about time. I investigate time in terms of an overall chronotope, and argue that this seems to be one of the past. I argue that McKillip’s works and other fantasy books like hers have a grammar of the past, and that everything in their works is influenced, to a degree, by this grammar. Thematically organised chapters examine sixteen of McKillip’s immersive fantasies. The thesis begins with an investigation of the overall chronotope of McKillip’s books and the influence this has on her works. It then examines “active time”: time which is used in an active way to undo and heal wrongs of the past. McKillip’s use of legends to add depth and age to her stories is explored. Her pastoral works, those with a nostalgic connection with nature, are examined. The sometimes counterpoint of the pastoral, cities, are then investigated and found to be places of influenced by time passing in the form of age and political era. Lastly, several of McKillip’s characters are examined to show how time has affected them and affected their interactions with those around them.

Full textAbstract:
This present study aimed to investigate the comprehension and the fantasies of children
related to the marital separation from their parents, contextualizing them with the established
parental relationship. Therefore, a qualitative exploratory study was taken, the research was
done by a study of multiple cases with three families having children of six years old, and
whose parents have been divorced for not longer than two years, at the moment of this
research. In order to collect the data with the children, the following projective tests were
used: Fables Test – pictorial version and the procedure of Family Cartoons with Stories. The
parents were individually interviewed for a Sociodemographic Data Interview and Interview
about Marital Separation and Children. The main reference while examining the data was the
content analysis. Based on the data received, it was possible to perceive differences on the
perception of the children towards the meaning that parental relationships took on the postdivorce
context. Two participants stated that parents were destined a position characterized by
affection, whilst three of them said the mother had a conflictive position. In such way, on this
study, on the eyes of the child the mother figure was understood by the children as source of
safety, replacing the care. Related to the fantasies of the children on their parents post-divorce
scenario, the fantasy of aggression dislocated to the environment prevailed and the fantasy of
family aggression as well. There could be also pointed the fantasies of abandonment and
death, showing the impact of the children in relation to the marital separation. It could be
comprehended that the possible consequences for the children who had its parents separated
are shown through emotional disorder, yet, the quality of the affection among the parents
figure and the children acts as a mediator when great changes are faced, in the case of a
separation, characterizing the emotional disorder of the children as temporary or expected to
the moment of crisis the family experienced. In this way, it is emphasized the need of
listening to the children on the marital separation process, enabling a space for distress,
doubts and fantasies to be freely expressed. Even though there is connection, affection, and
concern from the parents the marital separation occurrence can make the children feel fear
and anxiety, since they are found in a situation passive over happenings prior to the decision
of separation.O presente estudo objetivou investigar a compreensão e as fantasias das crianças acerca da separação conjugal de seus pais, contextualizando-as nas relações parentais estabelecidas. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo exploratório qualitativo composto por um estudo de casos múltiplos com três famílias de crianças com seis anos, cujos pais estavam separados conjugalmente há no máximo dois anos, no momento da pesquisa. Para o levantamento de dados com as crianças, foram utilizados os seguintes instrumentos projetivos: Teste das Fábulas – versão pictórica e o procedimento de Desenhos de Família com Estórias. Os pais foram acessados individualmente para uma Entrevista de Dados Sociodemográficos e uma Entrevista sobre a Separação Conjugal e os Filhos. A referência central na análise dos dados foi a análise de conteúdo. Com base nos dados, foi possível perceber diferenças na percepção das crianças a respeito dos significados que as relações parentais assumiram no contexto do pós-divórcio. Para dois dos participantes, aos pais foi destinada uma posição caracterizada pela afetividade, ao passo que para três deles a figura das mães ocupava uma posição de conflito. De modo singular, neste estudo, para uma criança a figura materna foi compreendida pelos filhos como continente, ocupando o lugar do cuidado. Com relação às fantasias das crianças no contexto pós-divórcio de seus pais, foram predominantes a fantasia de agressão deslocada para o ambiente e a fantasia de agregação familiar. Foram presentes também as fantasias de abandono e de morte, sinalizando o impacto da separação conjugal para os filhos. Entende-se que as possíveis repercussões para a criança da separação dos pais podem se manifestar através de desorganizações emocionais, no entanto a qualidade do apego entre as figuras parentais e as crianças atua como mediadora no momento de grandes mudanças, que se constitui a separação, caracterizando a desorganização emocional da criança como transitória ou esperada para o momento de crise que a família vivenciou. Desta forma, ressalta-se a necessidade de realizar uma escuta da criança no processo de separação dos pais, viabilizando um espaço para vazão de angústias, dúvidas e fantasias. Uma vez que mesmo com o envolvimento, afeto e preocupação dos pais o evento da separação conjugal pode gerar medo e ansiedade na criança, pois ela se encontra em uma posição passiva sobre os eventos posteriores à decisão de separação.

Pretende-se com esta revisão de literatura, fazer uma distinção entre pedófilos e

a evolução que o conceito de pedofilia tem vindo a sofrer ao longo dos estudos dos
vários autores que se confrontaram com diferenças fulcrais nomeadamente
perturbações psicológicas, motivação para o crime e fantasias com menores, que
distinguem o pedófilo do molestador. As fantasias serão um ponto chave no
entendimento destes comportamentos criminógenos. Conclui-se assim que, de facto,
embora os termos sejam utilizados para descrever o mesmo tipo crime, existem
diferenças nos agressores que o perpetuam e que estas serão de máximo relevância
numa intervenção junto destes.It is intended with this literature review, make a distinction between pedophiles and child molesters. So in this way, it is necessary since the authors go Stoller (1984.1993),Porter et al. (2003), Krafft-Ebing (1886), Haverlock Ellis (1894), Roudinesco (2007) and McDougal (1995), which have focused on the theme of perversion, paraphilic behaviors and deviations of sexuality. It is important to understand the evolution that the concept of pedophilia has been suffering over the studies of several authors who clashed with key differences including psychological disorders, motivation for the crime and fantasies with minors, that distinguish the pedophile molester. The costumes will be a key point in understanding these criminal behaviors. It follows that, in fact, while the terms are used to describe the same crime, differences exist in the aggressive perpetuate and they will be of maximum intervention with a relevance of these.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines Pliny the Elder's representation of the Magi in the Historia Naturalis. It seeks to determine not only who the Magi were in Pliny's estimation but also how they were construed in the Roman popular imagination. The pronounced antagonism that Pliny demonstrates toward these occult practitioners is rooted in the fact that the whole notion of magic, as it was understood in the ancient world, was embedded in a negative labelling-system, and that the identity of the magician existed primarily in the imagination of those who were doing the labelling (i.e., branding others as "magicians"). In the HN, Pliny's Magi are therefore represented as the proverbial "other" - outsiders who are perceived as engaging in foreign (and thus loathsome and abhorrent) practices. Pliny's representation of and attitude toward the Magi therefore exemplify how magic-workers have commonly been regarded as individuals who engage in ritual or religious activity that is not endorsed by the dominant social institutions of the cultures in which they operate.Arts, Faculty of

The "Ascender" artworks are described herein. "Ascender" is about transcending desires of power, control and collapse through a complex "taking-apart" of the artist's mental model. In a two-part arrangement of artworks the artist explores fantasies of power, control and collapse and the conflation of romanticism with these fantasies through an expanded painting practice. This project is an unraveling of personal mythologies through the application of multiple simultaneous mediums that include performance, drawing, painting, and installation. This 'unwrapping' of ideologies and narratives of self, this 'unfolding', becomes itself a transcendent act through which the artist's overall vision is conveyed. It is the working through of ideas that becomes the essence of this artwork, whether it is a painting, video, or drawing. This practice also engages the expanded field of painting in terms of direct external influences on the medium such as surveillance technologies and reflectography, as well as methodological influences derived from external practices such as User Experience Strategy that have affected the artist's regard for the viewer.

Palumbo, Allison P. "STRONG, INDEPENDENT, AND IN LOVE: FIGHTING FEMALE FANTASIES IN POPULAR CULTURE." UKnowledge, 2016. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/english_etds/35.
Full textAbstract:
During the late 1970s and 1980s, feminist critics like Janice Radway began to reconsider so-called women’s genres, like romance novels and soap operas and melodramas, in order to address the forms of subversion and expressions of agency they provided female audiences. However, in spite of greater willingness to consider the progressive potential in romance narratives, there has been little such consideration given to stories of romance for the fighting female character—defined as a protagonist who uses violence, via her body or weapons, to save herself and others. The fighting female has received a good deal of attention from critics like Yvonne Tasker, Sherrie Inness, Rikke Schubart, and Phillipa Gates because she enacts transgressive forms of femininity. However, the typical response has been to ignore the intimate or romantic relationships she has with men or to critique them based on the assumption that such hetero-relationships automatically limit her agency and attenuate her representation as a feminist-friendly heroine. This view presumes that female empowerment opposes or can only be imagined outside the dominant cultural narratives that generally organize women’s lives around their hetero-relationships—whether sexual or platonic, familial or vocational.
As I argue, some fighting female relationship narratives merit our attention because they reveal a new cache of plausible empowered female identities that women negotiate through their intimacies and romances with men. These negotiations, in turn, enable innovative representations of male-female relationships that challenge long-standing cultural scripts about the nature of dominance and subordination in such relationships. Combining cultural analysis with close readings of key popular American film and television texts since the 1980s, my dissertation argues that certain fighting female relationship themes question regressive conventions in male-female intimacies and reveal potentially progressive ideologies regarding female agency in mass culture. In essence, certain fighting female relationship narratives project feminist-friendly love fantasies that reassure audiences of the desirability of empowered women while also imagining egalitarian intimacies that further empower women.

Fleming, Anna. "Child psychotherapists' fantasies about working with 'cultural difference' : a psychosocial exploration." Thesis, Birkbeck (University of London), 2017. http://bbktheses.da.ulcc.ac.uk/293/.
Full textAbstract:
Child psychotherapists regularly find themselves working across ‘cultural difference’, yet this is given little thought in trainings, be it in supervision, teaching or in the training analysis. A growing body of literature in the psychotherapy professions emphasises the great anxiety provoked by ‘cultural difference’ and ensuing defences that are ordinarily employed by the individual; this literature identifies an urgent need for psychotherapists to find more consistently thoughtful ways to engage with issues of race, culture and social class differences. Using Bourdieu’s concept of ‘habitus’ to build a working definition of ‘cultural difference’ and a psychosocial methodology, I interviewed eight child psychotherapists to ask what fantasies about working with ‘cultural difference’ we might hold. Thematic analysis identified two fantasy structures: ‘difference as dangerous’, in which ‘cultural difference’ is variously associated with all kinds of badness, including sexual perversion, violence, child abuse, neglect and shame; and ‘the profession in peril’, in which it was felt that the child psychotherapy profession is threatened by ‘cultural differences’, both from without and from within. Discourse analysis examined two further fantasies: ‘neutrality’ in the therapist, in which the therapist is imagined to transcend ‘cultural difference’; and ‘the location of difference’, in which it was imagined that one person in a pairing contained all the ‘difference’ and its negative associations, while the other is felt to be ‘normal’. These four fantasies show how powerful projections are able to enter the consulting room. There is an urgent need for the child psychotherapy profession to give thought to ‘cultural difference’ in order to avoid reproducing prejudiced stances; this becomes imperative as issues of ‘cultural difference’ become more politically explosive. ‘Cultural difference’ was found to be a ‘slippery’ term, which carries different meanings at different times.

Full textAbstract:
In the middle of the California Desert is an inland desert sea, called the Salton Sea. Its existence is curious, nearly magical. It is California’s largest lake, it is saltier than the Pacific Ocean, it is slowly dying, and its existence is a complete accident. This thesis breaks down the historical narrative of the Salton Sea from a white settler perspective, using theories posed by Yi Fu Tuan about distinctions between space and place. The temporality of spatial locations, the construction of the binaries natural/built, and the moralizing of landscapes all provide further understanding of the Salton Sea’s existence. Throughout history, the white settlers of the Imperial Desert have projected, their morals and desires upon the desert landscape, reforming the space into their vision of the future as a result of their abilities to tame and control rivers. Instead of a future, they produced a place replete with the past: a place considered worthless and potentially dangerous. Through looking at the constructions of space, place, memory, and history, we are better able to understand the birth of this desert sea.

Carter, Megan N. "Adult and Juvenile Sexual Offenders: The Use of Violence and Fantasies." PDXScholar, 2004. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/1719.
Full textAbstract:
Child sexual abuse (CSA) has been recognized as a widespread and devastating problem in our society. Definitional challenges result in a broad range of prevalence rates for CSA varying from 60/0 to 62% for females and 30/0 to 31 % for males (Finkelhor, Araji, Baron, Browne, Peters, & Wyatt, 1986). Although CSA affects our nation's children in epidemic proportions, researchers have found little conclusive evidence regarding CSA precursors.
One promising area for exploring the etiology of CSA may be the differential patterns of sexual fantasies in juvenile and adult sex offenders. Abel, Becker, Mittleman, Cunningham-Rathner, Rouleau and Murphy (1987) found that more than 40% of non-familial child molesters reported the development of deviant sexual fantasies prior to sexually offending. Despite variations in offender subgroups, Marshall, Barbaree and Eccles (1991) found that 22% of the offenders experienced deviant fantasies prior to their first sexual offense. Unfortunately, the literature in this area has been quite limited despite its potential.
Understanding offender similarities and differences in adult and juvenile populations may be important due to the large proportion of the offender population who begin sexually offending as juveniles and due to the treatment modalities that may be implemented for developmentally different offenders. As many as 500/0 of adult sex offenders have reported sexually deviant behavior beginning in adolescence (Becker, 1988; Ferhenbach, Smith, Monastersky & Deisher, 1986; Marshall, Barbaree, & Eccles, 1991). Juveniles have also been identified as perpetrators in more than half of all cases (Fehrenbach, Smith, Monastersky, & Deisher, 1986).
This study investigates the relationship between offenders' sexual fantasies and their use of physical force to sexually offend. This investigation was also designed to examine the similarities and differences between adult and adolescent sexual offenders on these dimensions. Findings reveal an empirical relationship between offenders' fantasies and behaviors in sexual offending. It is anticipated that additional knowledge regarding potential relationships between fantasies and behaviors will assist in assessing and intervening with accused and convicted sexual offenders. Potential implications for clinical assessment and intervention into sexual abuse are discussed as well as the potential for understanding maintenance factors in the continuation of sexual abuse.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about border politics, in more than one sense. It looks at the recent period of anxiety about the control of Australian national borders (approximately, from the late 1990s until the 2007 Federal election), and attempts to understand how certain assumptions about women as potential reproductive bodies permeated biopolitical discourses in Australian national culture during this period. I employ the term ‘containment’ in order to make sense of this cultural moment. With reference to the work of theorists of modernity such as Michel Foucault and Zygmunt Bauman, I argue that containment is a key discourse in modern cultures—a way of thinking and speaking about confinement, control, management and order. It structures how we think about the management of populations and is a central part of the justification for the confinement of problem populations by modern political authorities. As such, then, it describes the ways in which the use of immigration detention for unlawful non-citizen asylum seekers has been thought about and accepted as reasonable in Australian national culture.However, a discourse of containment has also been central to the thinking about gendered bodies in modernity, in particular to assumptions about the control of women’s bodies. The assumptions about the containment of women in the modern gender order are directly linked to ideas about political status, citizenship and sovereignty in modern nation-states. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s notion of ‘bare life’—the life that is excluded from the protections of citizenship and thus left unprotected from violence—I attempt to make sense of the connections between the immigration detention camp as a site where the modern state exerts control over the life of the nation, and that modern state’s attempts to control reproductive and reproducing bodies. The reducing of certain people to the status of bare life is, then, a gendered process. Women and men are stripped of political status in different ways because they are assumed to have, or potentially have, different kinds of political status.
I therefore consider how ideas about women as reproductive bodies were integral to the discourse and practices of containment which underpinned the use of immigration detention in Australia. These ideas were important at a number of levels. Firstly, ideas about women as reproductive bodies infused the thinking about national borders, border control and the management of national reproduction. Secondly, a racially inflected discourse about ‘women and children’ was of central importance in shaping the ways in which male and female asylum seekers in immigration detention were treated. In the techniques used to control and manage gendered asylum-seeking bodies, key modern assumptions about women as reproductive bodies, the family, sovereignty and violence are revealed. Furthermore, I argue that many popular culture texts which attempt to make sense of, or critique, Australian national border politics have reinforced the same gendered ideas about containment, the same naturalised assumptions about the reproduction of the nation, which underpinned exclusionist border politics and the use of immigration detention. Examining the intersection of gendered and national discourses of containment in national border politics reveals the gendered violence which infuses the modern social order.

Full textAbstract:
Fantasy Realization Theory (Oettingen 1996) states that people can dwell on their negative reality, fantasize about a positive future, or mentally compare each. When individuals mentally compare, commitment to the goal of achieving their fantasy is influenced by expectations for goal attainability. Consistent with the attitude literature, such expectations can be influenced by the quality of arguments within an advertisement. Merging these ideas, we predicted and found that participants' attitudes toward purchasing a car were influenced by the quality of arguments presented in an advertisement for a car dealership, but only if they mentally compared fantasies and reality.

Full textAbstract:
High risk offenders are a complex and heterogeneous group of offenders about whom
researchers, clinicians, and society still know relatively little. In response to the paucity of information that is specifically applicable to high risk offenders, the present study examined RCMP Integrated Sexual Predator Intelligence Network (ISPIN) data to investigate the relationship between sexual paraphilias, sexual fantasy, and psychopathy among 139 of the highest risk sexual offenders in British Columbia. The sample included 41 child molesters, 42 rapists, 18 rapist/molesters, 30 mixed offenders, and 6 “other” sexual offenders. The majority of offenders in this sample were diagnosed with one primary paraphilia (67%). Data analysis revealed significant differences between offender types for criminal history variables including past sexual and nonsexual convictions, number of victims, and age of offending onset. For example, offenders who victimized children (i.e., exclusive child molesters & rapist/molesters)
had a greater number of past sexual convictions than did offenders who victimized adults exclusively. Further, there were significant differences between offender types for paraphilia diagnoses, sexual fantasy themes, and levels of psychopathy. For example, exclusive child molesters were significantly more likely to receive a paraphilia diagnosis, were more likely to report having sexual fantasies, and had lower Psychopathy Checklist Revised (PCL-R) scores than other offender types. Results from the current study will serve to facilitate a more refined and informed understanding of sexual offending behaviour, with important implications for future research, assessment, and treatment issues, as well as law enforcement practices when working with high risk sexual offenders.

Full textAbstract:
Fantasies of Consent: Black Women’s Sexual Labor 19th Century New Orleans draws on Louisiana legal statutes and Louisiana State Supreme Court records, alongside French and Spanish Caribbean colonial law, slave narratives, and pro-slavery writing, to craft legal, affective, and economic history of sex and slavery in antebellum New Orleans. This is the first full-length project on the history of non-reproductive sexual labor in slavery: I historicize the lives of women of color who sold, or were sold for, sex to white men. I analyze those labors, together, to understand major elements of sexual labor in the history of slavery. I theorize the meaning of sexual labor and imagine the kinds of world(s) these arrangements brought into existence, and the ways that sex and its attendant affects articulated pleasure and violence within those worlds.
This project offers the framework racialized sexual commerce to name the capacious intersection of sexual commerce and racial commerce, in order to imagine a singular, integrated sexual economy. This project also frames sexual labor outside of dominant scholarly approaches that seek out evidence of rape and consent. Building on these two foundational frameworks, this project argues that the antebellum sex market trafficked in affective objects, that is, affective experiences attached to labor (sex) and made into the primary commodities of this market. Fantasies of Consent asks what kinds of pleasures the bodies of women of color were called upon to produce for white men within the sex economy, what kinds of pleasures they themselves were able to inherit, and how both sets of pleasures emerged from and were therefore imbricated within the violence of the market. I argue that in the sex market, there was no pure consent—no pleasure, no freedom—that was not already shaped by the market through which it was articulated. Affective objects remade the violence of a sex trade that lived and breathed because of slavery as pleasure, revealing the impossibility of disentangling pleasure from violence within antebellum sexual commerce.African and African American Studies

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes a theoretical model of sexual thoughts and fantasies; the Dual-Process of Sexual Thinking (DPM-ST). In brief, the DPM-ST argues that associative processes generate spontaneous sexual thoughts, whereas controlled processes underlie the act of sexual fantasising. The empirical chapters aimed to empirically test some of the DPM-ST's main assumptions using offender and non-offender samples. In Chapter 3, support was found for the hypothesis that child abusers hold distorted sex-related associations. The results of Chapter 4 supported the idea that the use of deviant sexual fantasies is more likely if individuals have a greater proclivity to fantasise and hold explicit attitudes related to the deviant sexual fantasy. Chapter 5 supported the hypothesis that sexual fantasising is a controlled process requiring working memory resources. The results of Chapter 6 did not support the hypothesis that sexually fantasising about dominance activates 'self-powerful' associations. In Chapter 7, the results supported the hypothesis that abusers who repeatedly use sexual fantasies about children hold a stronger association between 'children' and 'sexual fantasy'. Finally, Chapter 8 concluded the thesis by discussing the findings in terms of their theoretical and clinical implications. The limitations of the thesis are also outlined, along with various ideas for future research.

Full textAbstract:
The banlieues (suburbs) of Paris are key case study for the social and political evolution of post-war France. Drawing on the overarching narrative of the trente glorieuses, existing scholarship has viewed the construction of grands ensembles d’habitation (mass housing estates) as part of a harmonious modernisation project through which France moved away from governing its colonies and towards the governance of everyday life. Yet, this view of banlieue housing as an expression of generic, totalising state power overlooks the conflicts and uncertainties that underpinned the modernisation process. This thesis analyses the construction and governance of two grands ensembles: the 4000 logements in La Courneuve and Les Courtillières in Pantin during the period 1955-1973. By analysing how state actors constructed and debated notions of urban modernity, this thesis will use the grands ensembles to explore France’s post-war modernisation as an uneven, localised and limited process. In discussing the limits to state power in these areas, this thesis develops scholarship on the banlieues and post-war France in three key ways. Firstly, this thesis will interrogate the relationship between the grand ensemble and notions of modernity, and will challenge the notion of mass housing as part of a forward-thinking modernisation process. Close analysis of sociological studies of mass housing and planning discourse will be used to demonstrate that the key objective was not to modernise, but to create a benign governable space that glossed over the more complex reality. By looking at localised discourses of municipal council and housing associations, this thesis will also question the harmonious nature of modernisation in discussing the ongoing debates between different state actors regarding the role of mass housing and of the banlieues more generally. Secondly, this thesis will develop academic understandings of the relationship between the citizen and the state. While the banlieues have been situated within the orbit of a totalising, technocratic Gaullist national state and the local communist-governed municipality, this thesis will question whether the state ‘existed’ in the banlieues. Records of municipal campaigning and existing resident testimonies will be used to challenge the historical narrative of the ceinture rouge by demonstrating that at a local level, the state maintained only loose control in the governance of everyday life and focused on a narrow range of issues. Developing this notion of a flexible, arterial state, this thesis will also analyse estate plans closely in order to highlight that interior space rather than enacting new forms of social conditioning was uneven in nature and made considerable concessions to existing modes of living. Thirdly, this thesis will develop existing notions of power and authority by arguing that while French post-war modernisation has generally been viewed as a technocratic process, it relied on direct coercion to compensate for its inherent limitations. While scholars have viewed the grands ensembles as a short-lived triumph of ‘the liberal art of government’, this thesis will argue that technocratic governance of the banlieues was ‘propped up’ by a dramatic expansion of policing and surveillance of these areas. This thesis will analyse police records of racial and geographical profiling and the suppression of protest in order to argue that policing produced a more systematic form of banlieue governance compared to uneven, limited technocratic power. Overall this thesis will use the grand ensemble to present an alternative view of the trente glorieuses in which the French state projecting authority into areas where the state lacked knowledge or influence, and sought to protect itself from modernity rather than to enact it.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines and identifies the differences in compositional approach in the operatic fantasies based on Bellini’s La Sonnambula and Weber’s Der Freischütz by Franz Liszt and Julian Fontana. These four fantasies are placed in the context of musical conventions and audiences in the first half of the nineteenth century. The two operatic fantasies by Liszt that are included in this study are representative of reinterpretations that employ formal and textural features suitable for the concert repertoire of piano virtuosos. In contrast, the fantasies by Fontana are indicative of the potpourri style, and suitable both for amateur performance as well as for pedagogical use. The different functions and purposes of the operatic fantasies of Liszt and Fontana are compared and contrasted, with attention to each composer’s respective intended audiences as well as their distinct compositional intentions.

Full textAbstract:
Surgery is an experience that brings uncomfortable examinations and discomfort and
can often become an incomprehensible and traumatic experience. In the case of pediatric
surgery, there is a belief that children are not always in a position to understand and deal with
what surgery encompasses, considering that their psychic apparatus is still being formed.
These procedures are, obviously, accompanied by numerous fantasies in an attempt to defense
themselves and recover emotional balance to be able to face the situation. Therefore, this was
a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study to investigate children s fantasies the day
before surgery, in psychoanalytic theory. Seven children were included, of both sexes, five to
twelve years old, admitted in a public hospital for surgery during 2014. Play Time and Fables
Test were used as instruments. The implementation of the instruments was performed in a
single moment, recorded, transcribed verbatim and the data was then passed through content
analysis. The participants expressed the perception of themselves as defective and possessed
feelings of fragility, helplessness and had many fears. The presence of frightening and
elaborative fantasies was identified as a defense attempt and a way of making sense of
surgical experience. It was concluded that the fantasies had a paradoxical role; that is, even if
they constituted a regressive defense, they proved to be protective structure and helped to
make sense of the surgical experience.A cirurgia é uma experiência que traz consigo exames incômodos e mal-estares, tornando-se, muitas vezes, uma experiência incompreensível e traumatizante. No caso da cirurgia pediátrica, existe a crença de que a criança, na medida em que, por estar com o aparelho psíquico ainda em formação, nem sempre tem condições para compreender e lidar com o que a cirurgia mobiliza. Estes procedimentos, naturalmente, são acompanhados de inúmeras fantasias, como tentativa de defesa e de reestabelecimento de equilíbrio emocional para conseguir enfrentar essa situação. Para tanto, realizou-se estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório que se propôs a investigar as fantasias presentes em crianças no dia anterior à cirurgia, dentro de um referencial teórico psicanalítico. Foram incluídas sete crianças, de ambos os sexos, com idade de cinco a doze anos, internadas em hospital público para realização de cirurgia durante o ano de 2014. Utilizaram-se como instrumentos A Hora do Jogo e o Teste das Fábulas, aplicados em um único momento, tendo sido gravados e transcritos na íntegra; os dados passaram por análise de conteúdo. Os participantes expressaram a percepção de si enquanto defeituosos, bem como sentimentos de fragilidade, desamparo e diversos medos. Identificou-se a presença de fantasias atemorizantes e elaborativas como tentativa de defesa e de atribuir sentido à experiência cirúrgica. Concluiuse que a fantasia manteve seu papel paradoxal, isto é, ao mesmo em que se constituiu em uma defesa regressiva, revelou-se uma estrutura protetora, auxiliando a atribuir sentido pessoal à cirurgia.

Full textAbstract:
It has become commonplace in academic studies, particularly those with a critical bent, to view nations as being historical constructs, as being without essence, though not without effects of exclusion and inclusion, of the constitution of the „authentic‟ national subject and the „other of the nation.‟ The critical impetus at work here is to show how a nation is constructed in order to bring into view the knowledge and power relations this construction entails, to show whose interests the construction serves, and whose it does not. This study examines the discursive production, the performative enactment and the spatial emplacement of post-apartheid „South Africanness‟ through a case study of Oppikoppi music festival. Oppikoppi is an annual event that emerged in 1994, on the threshold of the „new South Africa.‟ The festival is attended predominantly by young white Afrikaans-speaking South Africans and is held on a farm in the northernmost province of Limpopo, South Africa, an area notoriously conservative in its racial politics. Yet, curiously, Oppikoppi has been repeatedly referred to, and refers to itself with an almost obsessive regularity and repetitiveness, as a „truly South African‟ event. Indeed, the festival has been promoted, since 1998, as „The Home of South African Music,‟ and in 2009 the site of the festival was unofficially declared a „national monument.‟ Through the employment of concepts drawn from the writings of French philosopher and historian, Michel Foucault – particularly his earlier archaeological works – and from Sigmund Freud – particularly his metapsychological works – this study has posed two broad sets of questions. Firstly, from a Foucauldian perspective, what have been the conditions for the production of „South Africanness‟ at this festival? What have been the requirements, the discursive „rules of the game‟ for whiteness and Afrikanerness to become „South African‟? To what extent does this constitution of the festival as a „South African‟ event preserve older lines of division, difference and oppression? To what extent does this bring about meaningful social change? Secondly, from a psychoanalytic perspective, what are the fantasies constellated in the discourse of the festival as a „South African‟ event? Who, in these fantasies, is constituted as the „other of the post-apartheid nation‟? How has fantasy provided a kind of „hallucinatory gratification,‟ a phantasmatic compensation for, and a means of conserving, the losses of privilege in the new nation? And how has fantasy oriented the festival towards post-apartheid sociality, soliciting identifications with the post-apartheid nation? The overarching argument proposed is that anti-apartheid post-apartheid nation building has cultivated a melancholic loss of apartheid for whites in general and Afrikaners in particular, a loss that cannot be grieved – indeed, a loss that should not be grieved – and, as such, a grief that takes on an unconscious afterlife. Apartheid and the life it enabled – not only racialised privilege, but also a structure of identification and idealisation, of being and having – becomes a loss that is buried in, and by, the injunctions issued to post-apartheid memory and conduct. Without the discursive resources with which to symbolise this loss, disguised repetitions of the past, a neurotic refinding of the lost objects of apartheid, and melancholia are the likely outcomes, each of which engender a set of exclusions and enjoyments that run along old and new lines.
