Desire and the reproduction of race: Erotic capital, race, and industry.
Brooks-King, Siobhan.

Desire and the reproduction of race: Erotic capital, race, and industry. - 190 p.

Adviser: Terry Williams.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--New School University, 2008.

This dissertation builds from Pierre Bourdieu's notion of cultural capital. I argue that sexualized desire, or racialized erotic capital, is a variable in racial segregation among Black/Latina women in housing, education, and sex industry jobs by analyzing social stratification within strip clubs in New York and San Francisco (lesbian and clubs catering to male-female desire) and Internet sexual sites using ethnographic field methods and critical race and feminist theory. My original hypothesis was that Black and Latina women would prefer working at predominately Black and Latino clubs because their erotic capital would be valued more. However, I found that while Black and Latina women (at both straight and lesbian clubs) did have their erotic capital recognized more by customers, they were treated worse than at predominately white clubs regarding quality of customers, club location, and safety. I found that racial stratification affects women who work as exotic dancers regarding income attainment, exchange value among customers, and educational advancement, with lighter-skin women being able to accrue more of these resources often at both white and non-white clubs. In the lesbian clubs I found that there were similarities and differences when comparing Black queer women's spaces to the straight clubs. For example, both clubs have elements of violence among the Black people attending the clubs; at the straight clubs it was between customers and dancers, at the queer clubs it is between butches and femmes in intimate relationships and sometimes between butches and butches. However, the queer clubs offered women a sense of community and networking opportunities, and dancers generally felt safer dancing for women as opposed to men.
