Abstract: | This paper draws on the concepts of reproduction and scale to suggest that Skeggs and Wilson, in their contributions to this
issue of Feminist Legal Studies, both identify a future-oriented reworking of historically accumulated value. The spectacular emotional labour of British
reality television and the parody of mechanistic labour in Bangkok’s sex shows may be seen as instances in the affective search
for future security in transnational markets. Capitalist subjectivities are still being produced through these gendered and
sexual activities, but they are being produced with television audiences and sex tourists whose geopolitical baggage becomes
part of the show. |
