Old and new audio files on beauty and manhood

Posted on March 7, 2011 by Hugo Schwyzer

My wonderful student Mon-Shane Chou, who during our winter session helped bring Lena Chen to campus and is a key reason why we’re the only community college in the country to be an official part of Feminist Coming Out Day tomorrow, is the same great student who has faithfully recorded and posted online so many of my lectures.

Last fall, she taped my Beauty and the Body class. Here are two lectures that didn’t get uploaded until now:

The Impact of Advertising

Permissioning the Gaze

Mon-Shane is also in my Men and Masculinity class this semester, and has my first two lectures online:

Introduction to Homosociality

The Four Rules of American Manhood

FOUR more lectures up: semen, menstrual blood, and consent (again)

I’ve got ~~three~~ four recordings to offer today. The first two are from recent lectures in my Beauty and the Body course, taped and posted by Mon-Shane Chou:

Semen and its meaning

Fear of Fluid: on menstrual blood

Mon-Shane also has her own version of my November 18 talk on stoplights and enthusiastic consent

UPDATE: Tal Peretz sends me this recording of our panel discussion on Men & Anti-Sexist Activism which took place at NWSA 2010 in Denver. You can stream this one without needing to download, though it’s a long-un at over 77 minutes.

A quintet of lectures on Beauty and the Body

Mon-Shane has a number of past Beauty and the Body lectures she’s uploaded as audio files.

The Martha Complex and Perfectionism

On the body and mother/daughter relationships

On the body and father/daughter relationships

Sex, Sexualization, Agency and Desire (the lecture that reminded me to write the Jezebel post)

More Beauty and the Body lectures: “fat talk” and the “four (or five) P’s”

Posted on October 26, 2010 by Hugo Schwyzer

We had a team last week recording my Beauty and the Body lectures and making them available for download. Thanks go out to two great students.

Dan recorded and posted my “Fat Talk Free Week” lecture from Monday October 18.

And Mon-Shane did her usual stellar duty by recording and putting up last Wednesday’s lecture on the male body and the “five Ps”: Pot, Porn, Poker, Playstation, and Privilege.

And two more B&B lectures

It was a bit disorganized (I was fighting stomach flu when I gave this lecture), but here’s the audio of my first “male body” lecture last week, recorded and posted by Mon-Shane Chou

“Beauty and the Body” lectures online

Posted on September 27, 2010 by Hugo Schwyzer

Last spring, my student Mon-Shane Chou recorded many of my lectures from my women in American society course, putting them up online as downloadable files. Links to those lectures can be found here. Mon-Shane is now enrolled in my Humanities course on “Beauty, the Body, and the Euro-American Tradition”, and is continuing her most welcome and very helpful practice of taping and posting. I am very grateful.

The first four lectures are online. More to come!

My initial lecture on Plato and Mind/Body Dualism

My lecture on the Eve story and Christian views of appetite and desire

On theories of anorexia, riffing off Joan Brumberg

On Pleasure as a Purpose and a Primary Good
