| 요약 | Despite the rise and proliferation of online courtship, contemporary discussions of romantic and sexual relations tend to focus on face-to-face communication. While unique in their form, but not always distinctive in their functioning, digital spaces offer an opportunity to consider how sexual relationships are negotiated in contemporary moments. Using a variety of methodological tools to address the topic from different contextual perspectives, this dissertation takes up the question of how sexual expression plays out in pixels. The first chapter of this dissertation is at once a review of the existing theoretical and empirical literature on sexual consent and its (mis)communication, and a theoretical exploration of the ways in which contemporary digital spaces might shift, challenge, and/or reconfigure current understandings of sexual consent. The next three chapters combine theory and empirical research to address the questions raised in the review chapter, focused on their importance during interpersonal relationship transitions, primarily at initiation. This includes how the concepts apply to social media and dating culture (Chapter Two), when these become explicitly erotic with and without consent (Chapter Three), and when these issues take the form of commodified labor (Chapter Four). The themes that emerge from this dissertation suggest that there is at once something new about the expression of sexuality online and that examples of initiating interpersonal relationships in the digital age also have historical referents. Digital experiences are not monolithic, and negotiations of consent and intimacy are not uniform across these forums. There are moments when these spaces produce entirely new conversations and questions to consider. There are as many moments when digital negotiations of relationships simply serve as contemporary examples of existing conversations. This dissertation is thus less an examination of how the digital exists as something entirely new but rather an acknowledgement of the centrality of these spaces in our everyday romantic and sexual lives, and our contemporary social being more generally. This work serves as a recognition of the need to understand how these spaces operate in different moments in the service of sexuality and sexual expression. |
