Résumé
Techniques of Pleasure: and Circuits of Sexuality Margot Weiss Durham & London: Duke University Press, 2011 336 pp., $24.95 trade paperback [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Department of Psychology, University of Saskatchewan. Margot Weiss provides an in depth ethnographic study of as it exists in San Francisco Bay area during early 2000s. Using a plethora of qualitative data gathered among willing practitioners, Weiss succeeds in her exploration of within realms of capitalism, feminism, racism, sexism, political sphere and even exploration of self. The author takes her data and creates what she calls circuits, where aspects of BDSM, individuals involved and more global social constructs are brought together in a unique form. (These circuits can vary depending on what is being examined). Should communities that exist outside San Francisco Bay area show similar elements to those observed by Weiss (as I suspect they do), then this book serves as a crash course for those in academic or general communities who wish to have a better understanding of and all intricacies therein. The book begins with a prologue that is informative as it delineates relevant terminology. Specifically, Weiss breaks down subtleties that exist within language used both in and in general public's descriptions of practitioners. For example, the acronyms and are used interchangeably to denote a diverse community (p. vii). This small piece of information is important as it informs reader that any situation where SM may be encountered, does not necessarily refer to sadomasochistic practices alone. Weiss also partitions acronym into its three basic components (B&D--bondage and discipline, D/s--Domination/submission, SM--sadomasochism) and provides examples of activities that may be involved within each of components. The breakdown of illustrates dichotomy of SM within community, where acronym has a double meaning (describing both as a whole but also pain/sensation play). Besides providing clarity and definitions for various acronyms used, author introduces and defines new terms for reader. For example, a scene refers to a specific encounter (p. viii) that is considered to take place in a bubble outside of reality. Also, a top refers to person on giving of any form of BDSM (p. xi) whereas bottom is corresponding word for person on receiving end (p. xi). These are but a few examples Weiss shares with reader before taking him/her into world of San Francisco Bay area. For a reader who is not a practitioner, these notes are invaluable as they describe terms that come up regularly within this book, especially during interviews. Throughout remainder of book and beginning in Introduction, Weiss uses interviews she conducted and her personal experiences as a roadmap to help reader navigate landscape but also to build linkages within circuits she discusses. In Introduction, Weiss begins with a very broad description of some of events she had attended and notes just how NORMAL (p. 2) everyone in attendance seemed as opposed to what she expected. This observation seems to be tone adopted throughout rest of book, that of practitioners being as normal as anyone else, but just preferring experiences/activities that might be considered a little different by some people. Although Weiss embraces a tone of understanding and acceptance of practitioners, at same time she maintains an air of neutrality within her description of events. Due to this objective voice, it feels as if reader is supposed to make up his/her mind about what he/she is reading as opposed to being told how to interpret information provided. …

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
