The Stickiness of Bonnie Blue: Disgust and Cultural Politics

Original: The Stickiness of Bonnie Blue: Online Disgust and Ahmed’s Cultural Politics of Emotions

Bonnie Blue, the British adult performer known for provocative stunts, is the subject of a new analytical essay examining why online reactions to her are dominated by disgust. Drawing on Sara Ahmed's concept of 'stickiness' in the cultural politics of emotions, the piece argues that disgust attaches to her figure and shapes public debate about sex, gender and media morality.

Why now: Ongoing controversy around Bonnie Blue's public stunts keeps debate about her and the disgust she provokes active online.
