KSC Seminar Series: Scandalous Bodies

Mason Library - 142
Wednesday, · -

Presented by Dr. Amber Davisson, Communication and Philosophy: From Marilyn Monroe’s Playboy centerfold and topless photos of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to the Kim Kardashian sex tape and tabloid stories of Britney Spears going commando, the scandal of celebrity nudity has long captivated the public. Celebrity scandals are morality plays that work to communicate the values and principles of conduct for the larger society. Historically, the scandal of female celebrity nudity has been told as a story of prominent women whose reputations were destroyed because they failed to maintain self-control. This presentation revisits that history and asks: What if we have been telling the story wrong? What if all of this is actually nonconsensual pornography? Attend live in Mason Library 142 or via Zoom: https://keene.zoom.us/j/91473714097. No registration required.
