Summary: This clip presents sarcastic commentary from Bryan Safi about the Wall Street Journal's coverage of the nomination of Elena Kagan for Supreme Court Justice. Her sexuality has come under question and the Wall Street Journal ran a picture of Kagan playing softball, presumably to imply that Kagan is a lesbian. Safi makes the observation that the Wall Street Journal is talking around the issue and not directly addressing the issue. Safi's charge is that the Wall Street Journal is uncritically participating in the politics of sexual identity and failing to analyze the deeper question of why and how a lesbian identity is being used as a basis for political exclusion. This clip might be useful to instructors who are teaching Foucault's The History of Sexuality.

Summary: This clip describes and visually portrays an example of a purity ball, a formal ritual/party in which girls take a purity pledge (a.k.a. "virginity pledge") in front of their family and friends and, most prominently, they make this pledge to their fathers. I use this clip when introducing Foucault to my students, and I ask them how Foucault might make sense of purity balls and virginity pledges as a social and cultural phenomenon.

Dave Zirin discusses controversy surrounding Caster Semenya
Tags: biology, bodies, foucault, gender, intersectionality, lgbtq, media, prejudice/discrimination, race/ethnicity, sex/sexuality, social construction, sports, caster semenya, norms, 00 to 05 mins
Year: 2009
Length: 3:44
Access: YouTube

Summary: Interview and commentary with Dave Zirin, sports writer for "The Nation." Zirin discusses the case of South African runner, Caster Semenya, whose gender was called into question after her victory at the 2009 World Championships. This clip is useful for talking about the social construction of sex and gender, and the pervasive discomfort around - indeed "disciplining" of - bodies that do not neatly "fit" into clear sex and gender categories.

Summary:  This is a CNN video on the expansion of security cameras in major US cities, with a heavy focus on NYC.  It explores the issues of crime deterrence vs. privacy, and is an excellent video to introduce Foucault's concepts of the Panopticon, Surveillance, and Disciplinary Society.

The Bi-deology Project

Year: 2011
Length: 2:06
Access: Distrify


Summary: The caption for this clip reads, “
Bideology is a compelling, feature-length documentary that explores women dating bisexual men." Ironically, in addition to it's explicit focus on bisexuality, the project has sparked an important conversation about heterosexual relationships and challenges the assumption that such relationships involve two strictly heterosexual individuals. The documentary asks, what do women expect from male partners attracted to both sexes, and what informs their expectations? One can expand on the explicitly stated content of the film and draw on queer theory to underscore the formation of sexual identities and identity politics.
