Assignment 9

I think queer of color mentioned by Roderick Ferguson is a group of people that are outcast/misfits and the analysis behind it is that these group of people has their own identification (culture, ideas, beliefs, etc…) that may or may not be a reflection of other people (Marxism, liberalism, nationalism, etc…). Instead these queer of color debunk the ideas and beliefs of those other people ideologies and create a sense of something similar to group work. And the connection that this has to property, capital, and prostitution create those ideologies (norm in society). The capital (government) create the policies/laws that become the norm that societies follows and the people in those societies become the property of the capital. So when time begins to change (the economy and the revolution like the industrial revolution begins people are affected differently. Prostitution in particular may dehumanize a person and make them treated as a lust object which can affect people around them. Things that were never possible (expensive things like clothes, etc…) soon became possible for prostitution to get (even though they were poor) and creates a potential threat to gender stability where people could now be forced to do something they don’t want to do (e.g. human traffic). These people (the prostitution-er) like everyone else is apart of the capital property where they work for money (job), but are treated differently due to this not being a norm and how dehumanizing it is for that specific gender (reason for why feminism exist and an example is if a girl/women does something in the adult industry they are called slut). Also capital in Ferguson article is formed when the discourses of race, gender, and sexuality comes together. How this affects the formation prostitution is due to those social norm as mentioned above. By setting the discourses as a norm for society, it becomes harder to understand the morals of certain people, but once we come to an understanding of those certain people we will know how they feel.
