One of my favorite elements of Professor Petit’s
lecture last Tuesday was the focusing of the analytical, and also humorous eye,
upon YouTube content centering upon the emanation of behaviors supposedly held
within the realm of women issuing forth from men (Lecture: 5 Nov. 2013).
Specifically, Professor Petit illustrated that there was a wealth of the site’s
videos evidencing a scream which comes forth from a manly figure that is
highlighted as bearing a semblance to a sound relegated to the woman’s arena (ibid).
Yet, no reversal of this conception was perceivable upon the website, a
statement illuminated when Professor Petit looked for clips upon the website
which depict women as the enunciator of a vocal bearing resemblance to men, an
investigation failing to be fruitful (ibid). Through this interaction with YouTube,
however, I was thinking of a different idea. Uninfluenced by the trouble of
Professor’s second investigation, my mind had only blankness in my attempt at
grasping enunciation emanating from a woman characterized by its similitude to
the form of men. After reading my translation of Professor Petit’s lecture, I
believe that the conclusion of my aforementioned inability is accounted for in
his words. He suggests that the media is illustrative of strong reference to
the conception of heteronormativity, a term which denotes a construction of
humanity whereby features such as one’s biology necessitate connection with
other human designs such as behavioristic aspects (ibid). It is also
acknowledged that the infiltration of this media, into the realm of reality
where we the consumers live, in effect closes the door of feasibility for
certain actions to emanate from the opposite sexes of men and women (ibid).
Indeed, my engagement with the media has given me a grasping of the female
vocal, designed as soft and at times vulnerable, but I do not think my
acquaintance is as great with the male vocal and its designs (ibid). Thus, an
essential piece of the equation alludes me in the construction of the woman
whose enunciations fall into a characterization of men and their communication.
