Q

3 Levels of Scripting

A
  1. Intra-psychic: personal level
    - nothing is sexual and anything can be sexualized
    - desires / fantasies become socially constructed because they are articulated by visual signs
    - meanings are appropriated: we take nonsexual things and make them sexual
  2. Cultural scenarios
    - instructional guides existing at the level of collective social life
    - change historically and with issues around social change
  3. Interpersonal
    - transforms the social actor into a scriptwriter, adapting and shaping the materials of the cultural scenario into scripts for behaviour in specific contexts
