本文旨在分析电视情景喜剧《中间人》中嵌入和协商的主流性话语。性是该节目中一个非常明显的元素，标志着它成为十几岁男孩生活的一个普遍特征，自相矛盾地自然但又存在问题。这些表演借鉴并再现了性和性别的主导话语。在潜在的主题中，这里考虑了三个。首先，性在男孩的叙述中无处不在，是成功成年男子气概表现（过渡）的假定属性。其次，个人（异性恋）性行为是通过同伴主导的恐同玩笑和幽默来监管的。第三，女孩被男孩物化，展示了性别关系在女性气质的治理和话语制裁中的作用，通过欲望的对象来定义男性气质。本文揭示了年轻人通过电视呈现的一些性主体，并考虑了他们在童年时期更广泛的性景观中的地位。
This article sets out to analyze the dominant sexual discourses embedded and negotiated within the television sitcom The Inbetweeners. Sex is a highly visible element of the program, marking it as a prevailing feature of the life of the teenage boy, paradoxically natural yet problematic. The performances draw upon and reproduce governing discourses of sexuality and gender. Of the potential themes, three are considered here. First, sex is represented as ubiquitous within the boys' narratives, an assumed attribute of (the transition to) the performance of successful adult masculinity. Second, individual (hetero) sexuality is policed through peer-led homophobic banter and humor. Third, girls are objectified by boys, demonstrating the role of gendered relations in the governance of femininity and the discursive sanctions, which define masculinity through objects of desire. This article reveals some of the sexual subjecthoods made available to young men through televised representation, and considers their position within the wider sexual landscapes of boyhood.
