Philament has a call for papers on the subject of “Bound” and I have submitted an article on suicidegirls.com. My argument is to show that while the representation of nude women typically bind the sexuality of these same women to a male-dominated sexuality, it is possible to subvert this practice. In the case of suicidegirls.com, the practice is subverted through the models’ tattooed and pierced bodies which present an alternative to the mainstream Playboyesque beauty of pinup girls. As usual, if the paper is not accepted, I’ll post it here.
