Isi artikel

This article uses the experience of buying condoms at the grocery store and the free availability of condoms in gay bars as both a literal and figurative analogy for the tensive social issue of negotiating sex and sexuality. It posits the condom both as preventive agent for the spread of disease and as an erotic trigger for the social sexual imaginary. In the process, the project promotes the metaphorical construction of performance as cultural prophylactic agency and calls for a radical performative reflexivity both in performance of everyday life and specifically in academic performative engagement.
