Vidder needed
ETA: Clarification: suggestions and alternative readings of scenes to use are appreciated, but what I'm really looking for is someone to make the vidlet, because I don't know how and don't have time to learn.
I have a very short-notice request to make of someone with an interest in kink and/or scholarship and some vidding experience or ambition: I'm presenting a paper called "Playing Dirty: Bawdy Thoughts for Kinky Anthropology" at the Undressing the Bawdy conference at York this Saturday (link goes to call-for-papers; they don't seem to have another website. It's free, open to the public and there'll be snacks if anyone's interested in attending), and since I have access to a projector I would like show a little video.
I'm looking for a short (1-2 minutes?) clip sequence of "ha ha kinky" moments in media--moments where kink practices and identities are played for laughs and characters are teased/accused (with or without hostility) for kink desires or experience. Specific examples I'm thinking of include Sophie and Nate at the baggage search in Leverage 1x08 and the handcuff gag at the end of 2x07; George buying a cage in Being Human 2x04; the discussion about Tempura Joe & Chanel!Sierra asking Ivy for a spanking in Dollhouse 2x01; Dean's meeting with the Chief in whatever episode of Supernatural that was; the PVC mountie, surfeit of handcuffs, greedy bottom etc. in Due South 1x07/08; that recent episode of Castle with the pro-Dommes; the spanking machine in that episode of CSI:NY with Ted Raimi; the dentist song in Little Shop of Horrors . . . I'm sure there are some good examples in Mythbusters too.
What I'm hoping to accomplish with this is mostly to illustrate and support arguments I make in my abstract about perversion, dirt and the bawdy joke:
BDSM (bondage and discipline, domination and submission, sadomasochism) and associated “kinky” practices and subjectivities appears to be gaining in scholarly and popular attention. However, these bodies most frequently enter and exit the conversation in the guise of a ribald joke. What about kink practices, framed explicitly by self-identifying participants as play which engages and agitates cultural logics around power, pleasure and pain, makes it so funny-or so unsettling that its potency must be discharged in humour? What repercussions do this risibility and this polluting association with dirt and obscenity have for people who engage in these practices and who identify as kinky? For those who study them? What about those of us (few, at present) who do both?
I'm also going to be talking quite a bit about "pervertibles" as a practice of bricolage/tactical borrowing and how when you approach the world kinkily you can find kink everywhere, and making some handwavy connections with reader reception and fandom (more or less supported depending whether I have time to read any Henry Jenkins or whatever--suggestions of quick-read resources for this appreciated).
I know it's eleventh-hour, but I'd be very grateful if somebody could help me out with this and I'm willing to pay with DW points or a trade of services (knitting? music mix? fic? podfic? other suggestions?).
