Pornographic imaginaries, global assemblages, and risk: A netnography of slam-camming amongst gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men
FY 2023-24
Summary
This study seeks to investigate, through online ethnographic methods, how the sexualized use of drugs and online technologies are shaping the identities and communities of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). In particular, this study will explore the construction of risk, pleasure, and idealized bodies within the growing practice of 'slam-camming,' a practice whereby GBMSM record and or share live webcam video of their injecting of drugs intravenously-commonly referred to by these men as "slamming"-while engaging in sexual activities.
