    1. Michael Warner and Lauren Berlant “Sex in Public”

    2. Publics There are many “publics” – not one public sphere.

    3. Private / Public “Sex as it is mediated by publics” Privacy cloaks “the sexualization of national membership”. Sexuality (the social construction of sex) is different from sex (in the biological, physical sense).

    4. Heteronormativity The assumption of heterosexuality as the norm for all sexuality. Heteronormative practices: Definitions of propriety (behaviour) and property (ownership). “Sex publics”: Those publics in which dominant notions of sexuality are challenged or affirmed. “National heterosexuality” (p. 551)

    5. Domesticity

    8. Heterosexual Culture “Family values” (p. 550) Policies which “organize a hegemonic national public around sex” (550). “Intimacy” (553): “Ideologies and institutions of intimay are increasingly offered as visions of the good life...” Normalization (p. 557).
