"Desired Object, Forgotten Object" Slides

These are the slides for Lee Harrington's class, "Desired Object, Forgotten Object"

In the sensually adventurous world, a lot of conversation has been batted about concerning the idea of objectification and its supposed partner humiliation. However, for those of us who believe objects have souls, things have value, and the earth itself is not something to be thrown away when we are done with it, how does this dynamic between human and human-object shift? This slide deck will explore how our interactions with a human table change for those of us who look at tables as more than wood. Can we apply our desire to create lasting relationships with our human-objects to creating lasting relationships with the non-human-objects in our world as well? In a world where everything has a soul, let's look at whether humiliation has a place in the language of objectification and dive into our own ethics while examining our objects of desire.
