Texto completoResumen
This dissertation attempts to make advances in two debates in political theory: the first debate is about the nature of dignity and its demands and the second debate is about how feminists should address key issues of concern to them that involve sexuality. I show that the widespread use of the term "dignity" is accompanied by several objections regarding its nature and demands. Objections to dignity highlight its context-dependent, subjective, empty, and indeterminate nature. I reply to these objections and argue that dignity is a useful concept. My proposal is that in order to give dignity a more determinate nature we should focus on what dignity demands. More specifically, I suggest that dignity demands expressive affirmation, or at least the absence of expressive disaffirmation. By expressive affirmation I mean acts or expressions, verbal or non-verbal, which affirm the equal value of human beings. Bearing this understanding of dignity in mind I consider the second debate addressed in the dissertation regarding how feminists should respond to certain issues of central concern to them. These issues are rape, prostitution, arid pornography. I argue that what is wrong with rape and what might be wrong with some kinds of prostitution and pornography can be better understood in light of the idea that dignity demands expressive affirmation. The strategy I follow in order to support this claim relies significantly on my discussion of rape. I use the case of rape as a basis for insights about the status of prostitution and pornography because rape is a case in which our moral convictions are most certain. I argue that rape helps us to see how the demand for expressive affirmation is a demand to respect a person's sexual integrity. This provides a point of departure for justifying further conclusions about some instances of prostitution and · pornography where our convictions about the demands of dignity are initially less certain. In particular, I argue that · prostitution and some forms of pornography are morally problematic and may require legal regulation even under conditions of background equality.

Texto completoResumen
Syftet med denna studie är att belysa feminismens mångfald i förhållande till pornografi och därmed undersöka om feministisk pornografi, är genomförbart att producera. Som bisyfte har jag även resonerat kring om detta fenomen är en positiv utveckling för feminismen. Genom en kvalitativ textanalys och utifrån en queer och radikalfeministisk teoribildning har novellsamlingen Närstrid: Vanessa, vilken utger sig för att innehålla feministisk pornografi, analyserats. Resultatet visar att antologin uppnår kriterierna för vad feministisk pornografi innebär, men dock ter sig de återkommande verbala som fysiska maktuttrycken paradoxala att använda i kampen för jämställdhet.

Texto completoResumen
There is a current wave of interest in pornography as a vehicle for queer, feminist and lesbian activism. Examples include Dirty Diaries: Twelve Shorts of Feminist Porn (Engberg, Sweden, 2009), the Pornfilmfestival Berlin (2006-) and the members-only Club LASH in Stockholm (1995-). Based on ethnographic fieldwork designed around these cases, the purpose of the thesis is to account for, historicize and understand this transnational film culture and its politics and ethics. The fieldwork consists of interviews, questionnaires and participant observation, including participation as one of the filmmakers in Dirty Diaries. The thesis studies queer, feminist and lesbian pornography as an interpretive community. Meanings produced in this interpretive community are discussed as involving embodied spectatorial processes, different practices of participation in the film culture and their location in specific situations and contexts of production, distribution and reception. The thesis highlights a collective political fantasy about a safe space for sexual empowerment as the defining feature of this interpretive community. The figure of safe space is central in the fieldwork material, as well as throughout the film culture’s political and aesthetic legacies, which include second wave feminist insistence on sexual consciousness-raising, as well as the heated debates referred to as the Sex Wars. The political and aesthetic heterogeneity of the film culture is discussed in terms of a tension between affirmation and critique (de Lauretis, 1985). It is argued that the film culture functions both as an intimate public (Berlant, 2008) and as a counter public (Warner, 2002). Analyzing research subjects’ accounts in terms of embodied spectatorship (Sobchack, 2004, Williams, 2008), the thesis examines how queer, feminist and lesbian pornography shapes the embodied subjectivities of participants in this interpretive community and potentially forms part of processes of sexual empowerment.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis explores feminist anti-pornography activism in the UK in the first decade of the twenty-first century, in the context of what has been termed the 'mainstreaming‘ of pornography. It investigates how and why feminist anti-porn activism is re-emerging in this particular historical moment, examining the ways in which groups are organised, and how feminist campaigns around pornography are developed, executed and received. It provides an in-depth analysis and theorisation of the ideological stance, ethos, tactical repertoires and impact of campaign groups, along with a detailed consideration of the motivations, perspectives and experiences of activists. The thesis locates feminist anti-pornography groups and activists in various contexts: the 'mainstreaming' of pornography (or 'pornification'); feminist debates around pornography and the sex industry; second and third wave feminist activism; debates around ‗post-feminism‘ and the resurgence of grassroots feminist activism in the UK. This contextualisation enables me to assess the significance of current feminist anti-pornography activism in the light of social, political and cultural trends, and with regard to other feminist priorities and agendas. The thesis draws on qualitative research data gathered from feminist ethnographic studies of two London-based groups, along with twenty-four in-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted with activists across the UK. Utilising a theoretical framework drawing on social movement literature and feminist theory, I analyse and interpret my research findings in order to construct an argument regarding the impact of feminist anti-pornography activism and its significance in relation to contemporary feminism. Emphasising continuities between second wave radical feminist analyses of pornography and current activist perspectives, I argue that their foregrounding of issues of violence against women, objectification and gender inequality, along with their critical engagement with concepts such as 'choice', 'agency' and 'empowerment', poses a challenge to postfeminist and liberal perspectives on pornography.

Bruckert, Chris. "Woman as subject/object: A critique of feminist writings on prostitution and pornography". Thesis, University of Ottawa (Canada), 1991. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/7684.
Texto completoResumen
The construction of woman as object/other in the dominant discourse is an accepted problematic in feminist scholarship. This is understood to be a function of the androcentric nature of the academic, linguistic and social spheres that mediate our understanding/experience. In this context, reality is dichotomized, and woman is the object/other against which man identifies himself as subject. This consciousness poses a fundamental epistemological challenge to feminist scholars: how to construct woman as the subject of discourse and overcome woman's deeply rooted social definition and consciousness of object/other. The positions and understandings of contemporary feminist theory on how to actualize this understanding in praxis are reviewed and a typology considered that assesses feminist thought in relation the conceptualization of woman and strategies to construct woman as the subject in discourse. A sample of feminist writings on prostitution and pornography are analyzed to determine if the ideological and epistemological assumptions of the dominant discourse, rejected in feminist theory, are reproduced in substantive applications of feminism. It is argued that in much of the feminist prostitution and pornography literature reviewed, skin and sex trade workers are denied legitimacy and voice; they are the deconstructed subject who is symbol/victim/object. Further there is a failure to transcend the conceptual boundaries of androcentric thought and therefore the dominant constructs are implicitly legitimated. It is concluded that some of the current applications of feminist theory contravenes the established political/personal mandate of feminism to redefine woman as the subject of discourse. It is suggested that a feminist framework is required that is conscious of itself, its own ideology, socially imposed parameters and its relation to the dominant discourse against which it defines itself.

A pornografia centralizou boa parte dos debates públicos sobre políticas sexuais nos Estados Unidos da América entre as décadas de 1970 e 1980. Largamente mobilizado por parte do movimento feminista, as políticas anti-pornografia do período levaram ao surgimento de uma contra-proposta singular: a chamada pós-pornografia, ou, como é mais frequentemente conhecida, a pornografia feminista. Esta dissertação é sobre o surgimento deste movimento bem como sobre seu projeto: analisarei, deste modo, o contexto sociopolítico que possibilitou o aparecimento da pós-pornografia, as implicações e associações teórico-ideológicas da mesma, as transformações ocorridas em sua ideação desde seu aparecimento até os dias atuais, e, finalmente, as relações entre este movimento e as teorias sociais discutidas e perpetradas pelas Ciências Sociais.Pornography has centralized much of the public debate about sexual policies in the United States between the 1970s and 1980s. Widely deployed by the feminist movement, the anti-pornography policies of the time led to the emergence of a natural counter-proposal: the so called post-pornography, or, as is more often known, the feminist pornography. This dissertation is about the rise of this movement as well as on its project: I will analyze, therefore, the socio-political context that enabled the rise of the post-porn, the implications and, theoretical and ideological associations of it, the changes that occurred in its ideation since its appearance until the present day, and finally the relationship between this movement and the social theories discussed perpetrated by the Social Sciences.

Texto completoResumen
Reformerad pornografi är en receptionsstudie vilken undersöker hur tre stycken självidentifierade kvinnor upplever audiovisuell feministisk pornografi, mot bakgrund av-samt kännedom om heteronormativ mainstreampornografi. Informanterna har i förväg fått tillgång till materialet att betrakta, detta består av feministiska pornografiska kortfilmerna i filmsamlingen Dirty Diaries, för att leda in till ett givande samtal i enskilda semistrukturerade djupintervjuer. Via Laura Mulveys teori om den voyeuristiska blicken analyseras hur dessa kvinnor antog materialet. Med stöd från Petra Östergren, som även diskuterar Rubin Gayle, kommer även slutsatsen som kan låta självklar att yttras. Det vill säga att individuella preferenser styr en del av betraktarens visuella lust. Studien resulterar i att feministisk pornografi förklaras som ett utrymme där den kvinnliga sexualiteten och njutningen tillåts figurera på egna villkor.

Texto completoResumen
The sexual revolution was a movement in the United States that challenged traditional ways of thinking about sexuality. The heart of the revolution was the "radical" idea that women, just like men, had sexual needs and were able to enjoy sex. In the name of the revolution, feminists demanded women’s right to the same sexual freedom as men had been given. The revolution led to the normalization and increased acceptance of sex outside of marriage, as well as birth control. However, despite these achievements, some feminists believed that the achievements occurred at the expense of women. Although the sexual revolution was intended to lead to female liberation, some people argue that the revolution instead resulted in other forms of female oppression. To investigate this further, this study analyzed three different works of feminists with different views on the revolution and its consequences. This study will discuss the following topics: pornography and sexualization. These have been analyzed in relation to various theories of autonomy. Finally, this study will discuss how the subjects affects women's rights contained in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). The questions in this study are answered throughout by using the method of critique of ideas. The method is based on the ideology that the authors themselves claim to defend as their own, in this essay it is the values of feminism. The critique is thus internal in the sense that no other values, other than those already stated in the material, are used in the assessment. Products that are marketed using the female body are often packaged with feminist messages, which is a well-known paradox in feminism. Women today have achieved some success by being able to represent themselves as sexual subjects, but that does not mean that the sexualization that permeates the culture should be mixed with "girl power" or other feminist slogans. It is time to stop accepting objectification as a symbol of liberation and instead acknowledge it for what it really is, a contradiction. A culture where women are constantly and in various ways being sexualized should be considered a threat to her ability to choose her preferences in an autonomous way. In the same way, a society that is strongly influenced by pornography's notions of male dominance should be considered a threat towards women’s autonomy. States that have ratified CEDAW are required by Article 2 to pursue policies to eliminate discrimination against women and to take measures to promote gender equality. Thus, the affiliated states should take appropriate action in all sectors of society where women are discriminated.

Texto completoResumen
In this research I employ a feminist and qualitative approach, challenging the predominant psychological discourse of pornography. I discuss the ways law, history and economics influence how women relate to pornography. A range of theoretical approaches, including psychoanalysis, film theory and cultural studies, are used to explore pornographic texts and women's accounts of their engagement with pornography. Drawing on these different disciplinary frameworks I argue that the meanings of `pornography' are changing and elusive: its insusceptibility to easy definition is a theme of this research, which takes into consideration diverse media, including erotic fiction and women's magazines. Feminist theory and discourse analysis informs the analysis of 34 interview transcripts, and leads to reflection on research-related problems such as questions of ethics, researching the `other', and tensions between feminisms and psychology. Women negotiate the heterosexist and masculine discourse of pornography in unexpected ways, and anti-porn feminism is shown to have shaped participants' views and impacted on their identities. The ways in which individual psychic histories and sociocultural constructions such as `race', `class', and sexual orientation enter into women's viewing of porn are explored. Psychoanalytic and gaze theories are drawn upon to offer insight into the different psychic mechanisms and positions involved in viewing and reading pornography. Pornography is a factor in the social construction of sexuality, but women's accounts (unlike much of the theory) show how their views, experiences and feelings about pornography are variegated, individual and complex. I argue for a Foucauldian perspective on the question of sexual repression and the effect-'of categorisations (such as `paedophile' and `sadomasochist'). The effects of new media and technologies are wide ranging, and include increasing opportunities for sex without physical contact, access to sex educational material, and the creation of multiple meanings of pornography for women. This thesis concludes by su gesting that the proliferation of new sexual discourses, including gay, lesbian and bisexual pornographies, has transgressive, contradictory and complex implications for women's sexualities.

A partir de un análisis de la representación audiovisual del sexo en los contenidos feministas se busca comprender cómo se lleva a cabo la narrativa de las historias, además de descubrir cuáles serían las nuevas normas de eroticidad existentes para el discurso feminista en dicha productora, así como también exponer las representaciones de género dadas en cada video. Sin embargo, para realizar un análisis más certero respecto a los resultados, se analiza también el contenido pornográfico de una productora de porno convencional, con el fin de lograr una exposición que permita encontrar cuáles serían las semejanzas y desemejanzas de los diferentes discursos sexuales.This research aims to examine feminist pornographic content. The discourse of feminist porn appears as a content that rejects the heteronormativity presented over the years in conventional pornographic content, which according to female critics, these contents portray only the masculine fantasies. From an analysis of the audiovisual representation of sex in feminist content, it is sought to understand how the narrative of the stories is carried out, in addition to discovering what would be the new norms of eroticity existing for feminist discourse in said producer, as well as also expose the gender representations given in each video. However, to perform a more accurate analysis of the results, the pornographic content of a conventional porn producer is also analyzed, in order to achieve an exhibition that allows us to find what the similarities and dissimilarities of the different sexual discourses would be.

Texto completoResumen
Our earth has begun its sixth extinction and our culture thrives in ideological third nature and the era of technology. Hardcore pornography demonstrates a fear-based split in the relationship between the Great Mother and Terrible Mother archetypes, and the consumption of violent sexual material is indicative of existential death-avoidance, or despair. The archetypes present in the Moms/Hot Mom/Mother/MILF, Youth/Teen, and 18 and Abused categories of porn evoke the fear of the feminine as related to Mother Earth, and elucidate the collective’s split feminine archetypes. This research uses heuristic and alchemical hermeneutic research methods to discern how these archetypes within hardcore pornography explicate our cultural complex regarding Mother Nature. What results is a call to consciousness and a clinical aim toward shadow integration, the assimilation of masculine and feminine parts of self, and a cohesive relationship toward imagery and imagination, lest they be altogether replaced by pornography.

Texto completoResumen
Although feminists resist accounts that define women as having certain features that are essential to their being women, feminists are also guilty of giving essentialist definitions. Because women are extremely diverse in their experiences, the essentialist critics question whether a universal (non-essentialist) account of women can be given. I argue that it is possible to formulate a valuable category of woman, despite potential essentialist challenges. Even with diversity among women, women are oppressed as women by patriarchal structures such as rape, pornography, and sexual harassment that regulate women’s sexuality and construct women as beings whose main role is to service men’s sexual needs.

Este estudo teve como objetivo compreender as manifestações nos discursos de modelos SuicideGirls das ideologias feministas e de poder capitalístico. Esta dissertação teve como esforço teórico entrecruzar conceitos relativos à subjetivação proporcionada pelas pressões ideológicas, tanto feministas quanto de poder capitalístico, aos ligados ao domínio da performance. Nesse sentido, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas junto a quatro SuicideGirls e analisados seus discursos, bem como de vídeos transmitidos ao vivo por elas no Facebook. A pesquisa considera que as transmissões por streaming analisadas estão inseridas em um contexto pornocultural, já que o site divulga fotos de soft porn. Como resultado, a análise de discurso apontou para concepções de autonomia feminina calcadas em objetivos provenientes do capitalismo e para o desejo conflitante das participantes de não terem seus corpos considerados como mercadorias pornificadas. Os discursos apontam para uma chancela econômica conferida pelo status de SuicideGirl para aquisição do capital social necessário para serem influenciadoras digitais.This study aimed to understand the manifestations in the discourses of SuicideGirls models of feminist ideologies and capitalist power. This dissertation had as a theoretical effort to interrelate concepts related to the subjectivation provided by ideological pressures, both feminist and capitalist power, to those related to the performance domain. In this sense, semi-structured interviews were conducted with four SuicideGirls and analysed their speeches, as well as videos transmitted live by them on Facebook. The research considers that the streaming streams analysed are inserted in a pornocultural context, since the site publishes photos of soft porn. As a result, the discourse analysis pointed to conceptions of female autonomy based on goals from capitalism and to the participants' conflicting desire for not having their bodies considered as pornographic goods. The speeches point to an economic seal bestowed by SuicideGirl status to acquire the social capital necessary to be digital influencers.

Power, Febres C. "Liberalism, feminism and republicanism on freedom of speech : the cases of pornography and racist hate speech". Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2011. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1324554/.
Texto completoResumen
The central issue tackled in this thesis is whether there is room for legitimate restrictions upon pornography and extreme right political organisations' racist hate speech; whether such restrictions can be made without breaching generally accepted liberal rights and within a democratic context. Both these forms of speech, identified as 'hard cases' in the literature, are presented as problems that political theorists should be concerned with. This concern stems from the increase in these forms of speech but also due to their mainstreaming in society. In this thesis the republican conception of freedom as non-domination is explored as a more suitable account than the liberal one of freedom as non-interference, when dealing with these two forms of speech. In addition, the neo-Roman republican view is aligned with anti-pornography radical feminism. This alignment aids in releasing the feminist position from a liberal framework; thereby reducing the burden of proof relating to harms derived from pornography that this position has been subjected to. Liberalism's view of freedom of speech as a pre-political right leaves very limited room for restrictions to be made upon speech. The republican view of freedom as non-domination, meanwhile, means that restrictions need not be viewed as a breach of the right of freedom of speech. In addition, liberals argue that the most these forms of speech can cause is offence. By taking republican ideas of equality and respect for the democratic citizen, and anti-pornography radical feminist accounts of performative speech acts and grievances to individuals as part of a group, it is shown that not only can these forms of speech do more than offend, they can, in fact, dominate, in instances of individuals feeling subordinate. The theoretical work is illustrated through looking at two real world cases, Spain. a liberal state, and Finland, a republican state.

A pornografia sempre foi vista como um tema controverso, como uma forma suja de pensar em prazer sexual. Originalmente utilizada como instrumento de contestação, de crítica às autoridades religiosas e políticas, hoje ela é vista como um instrumento de banalização do sexo. No âmbito das teorias feministas, a pornografia ainda hoje é tema de acaloradas discussões. Um debate que se iniciou nos anos 1970 e evidenciou a cisão dentro do próprio movimento feminista, no que diz respeito à discussão sobre a sexualidade, tem o sugestivo nome de Feminist Sex Wars. Fortemente aliado às vertentes mais radicais, um grupo encabeçado pela advogada Catharine Mackinnon e a escritora Andrea Dworkin defende que a pornografia é responsável, inclusive, por incitar violência contra as mulheres e cria campanhas solicitando aos governos a criação de leis para censura e criminalização de materiais pornográficos. No outro quadrante, as feministas pró-sexo acreditam que a liberdade sexual é um dos instrumentos mais básicos para a emancipação feminina. Não existe discordância quanto ao fato de ser a maior parte do material disponível no mercado sexista e pouco atrativo ao público feminino, mas a resposta, na visão destas teóricas, não seria banir a pornografia, mas fazê-la de forma diferente. Face ao surgimento da produção de filmes eróticos categorizados como ‘pornografia feminista’, a presente pesquisa questiona quais os sentidos atribuídos ao adjetivo “feminista” quando associado ao substantivo “pornografia”? Em que consiste este pornô feminista? Em que difere da produção tradicional? Pornography has always been seen as a controversial issue, as a dirty way to think about sexual pleasure. Originally used as a defense instrument of criticism of the religious and political authorities, today it is seen as an instrument trivialization of sex. In the context of feminist theories, pornography is still the subject of heated discussions. A debate that began in the 1970s and showed a split within the feminist movement itself, with regard to the discussion of sexuality, has the suggestive name of Feminist Sex Wars. Strongly allied to the more radical aspects, one group headed by lawyer Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin writer argues that pornography is responsible even for inciting violence against women and creates campaigns calling on governments to create laws to censorship and criminalization of materials porn. In another quadrant, pro-sex feminists believe that sexual freedom is one of the basic tools for emancipation. There is no disagreement about the fact that most of the material available in the market sexist and unattractive to a female audience, but the answer, in the view of these theoretical, would not ban pornography, but do it differently. Given the emergence of the production of erotic films categorized as “feminist pornography”, this research questions the meanings attributed to “feminist” when associated with “pornography”? What is feminist porn? In what ways that differs from the traditional production?

This thesis applies the radical feminist perspective set out by MacKinnon (1993) and Dworkin (1995), to analyze the construction of female sexuality within popular Canadian men’s pornographic magazines and non-pornographic magazines. A mixed methods approach was used to analyze the images and text within the feature articles of the selected magazines. Results revealed that women continue to be constructed as sexual objects within both categories of magazines, but the earlier link identified by MacKinnon and Dworkin between violence and sexuality was on longer apparent. Instead, women were a sexual puzzle that the magazines attempted to unpack. Rather than a strict dichotomy between pornographic and non-pornographic magazines, a continuum of grey emerged whereby the level of explicitness between the two magazines increased as the continuum progressed from left to right, thereby demonstrating the pornographication of mainstream media, as per McNair (2002).

Texto completoResumen
This study examines the pornographic images of black women from Sara Baartman, the “Venus Hottentot,” to the Middle Passage, the Auction Block, Plantation Life, Harlem Renaissance, Blaxpomploitation movies, mainstream contemporary cinema, and pornography. It is based on the premise that throughout history black women’s images have been pornographic. The researcher found that the pornographic images present in today’s visual media are outgrowths of the debilitating, racialized and sexualized images of black women historically. The conclusion drawn from the findings suggests that black women’s images in cinema continue to subjugate and objectify black women on and off screen.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this thesis is to use specific fat pornographic imagery as a means to help us understand fat tropes and fetishization. The goal is to use our understandings of masculinity and race within fatness to create a possible launching point for further study within the field of fat sexuality studies. My rationale for writing such a paper is because fat sexuality studies is a field which has very little content, but potential for incredible scholarship which can impact not only our understandings of fat bodies, but of all bodies. The method for this thesis involves looking at specific images of “still-image” fat pornography and using these images to explain theoretical conceptions of fat sexuality. My hope for the significance of this work is that it will help to more firmly place fat sexuality studies in the academic landscape as a site for further research.

Texto completoResumen
The increasing importance of pornography since its commercialization at the end of the seventies modified the artistic landscape of sexual representation. What has occurred is a transformation of the horizon of expectations of pornographic images, the definition of eroticism and the relationship between the two notions. In this perspective, the thesis concentrates on the analysis of the appropriation of certain distinct traits of hard core pornography in feminist art. Specifically, it is a qualitative analysis of the interrelations between eroticism and pornography in feminist art during the 1980s. The thesis proceeds to an in-depth analysis of several works by Pipilotti Rist, Annie Sprinkle, and Marlene Dumas as well as adding three earlier works of sexually explicit representation by Carolee Schneemann. The analysis of these works aims to redefine notions of pornography and eroticism, drawing on the work of Linda Williams for the first definition and Georges Bataille for the second. The theoretical context of the thesis, which also turns out to be the historical context of the works, is made up of disciplinary approaches that have most contributed to the debate around eroticism and pornography: art history, philosophy, feminist studies, queer theory, semiology and psychoanalysis.The thesis makes several conclusions. First, the dynamic between eroticism and pornography does not have to be considered oppositional; the two methods of expression are frequently both represented in the same work. Also, women are no longer uniquely victims of pornography (they are increasingly in the role of pornographic auteure) and the analysis of these works confirms that feminists have appropriated the genre to explore a diversity of female eroticisms and propose a form of feminist, intersubjective pornography. Finally, the use by female artists of syntaxes and features typical of pornography helps to bring about a demand for a more complete and complex female subjectivity which is no longer only political, but also sexual.

Texto completoResumen
Cette thèse s’attache à questionner l’utilisation de la pornographie dans la « broderie subversive » par les plasticiennes. Cette démarche semble a priori paradoxale. Pourquoi, les plasticiennes brodent-elles des images de femmes objectivées ? Pourquoi utiliser la broderie alors que cette pratique est considérée comme un passe-temps féminin ? Pourquoi s’emparer de la pornographie, faite par les hommes pour les hommes ? L’analyse d’un large corpus d’œuvres brodées, au prisme des « gender studies » et des « porn studies », permet de saisir les enjeux de cette démarche singulière. Les plasticiennes utilisent un médium caractérisé comme essentialiste pour déconstruire de « l'intérieur » les valeurs patriarcales transmises par la tradition du tissu, posture basée sur une succession de paradoxes. Ainsi, par la représentation brodée du sexuel, voir même de leur sexualité, les plasticiennes sont amenées à questionner leur propre identité de genre. Le sexuel brodé permet de se réapproprier son corps et son imaginaire, de s'interroger personnellement sur son identité (par l'utilisation d'un médium a priori genré). Cette construction du « moi » est soumise à un double paradoxe, tout d'abord celui de l'utilisation d'un médium féminin, subverti par le détournement artistique, et d'images objectivant les corps des femmes alors qu'il s'agit de se les réapproprier. Dans l'exploration de ces deux paradoxes, dans leur confrontation, dans cet espace, peut alors se penser l'identité (de femme et d'artiste) dans une société androcentréeThis thesis aims to interrogate how women artists use pornography in the subversiv stitch. This reflection might seem paradoxical. Why do women artists embroider pictures of objectified women ? Why use embroidery ? And why appropriate pornography that is made by men for men ? The analysis of a large corpus of embroiedered works, though the lens of gender studies and porn studies, allows to seize the issues of this peculiar approach. Women artists use a medium defined as essentialist to decompose – from the inside – the patriarchal values inherited from the textile tradition. Through the embroidered representation of the sexual – even of their own sexuality – women artist are led to question their own gender identity. The Embroidered sexual allows one to reappropriate their body and imaginary – and to interrogate themself about their identity (through a medium primarily perceived as gendered). This construction of the self is submitted to a double paradox, hich is the use of a feminine medium – subverted by artistic hijacking – and pictures of objectified female bodies, whereas the whole purpose is actually to reappropriate those bodies. Somewhere between those paradoxes might emerge and be thought the identity – of woman and artist – in a androcentric society

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this essay is to investigate the opinions of pornography in the Swedish press 2016. To perform this, a quantitative method and discourse analysis on 139 published texts have been used. This study shows that the year of 2016 primarily is focused on a strong sence of concern about the effects of pornography rather than the industry itself, and the concerns are primarily rooted in anxiety of the effects on pornography-consumers, that is primarily young boys and men. The debate that is mainly represented by women with a great variety of work titles like scholars, criminologist, politicians, mothers, columnists, and film directors. The articles used for this study were found in newspapers and magazines from all over Sweden. When opinions about pornography is expressed it's usually a negative or critical opinions. If the opinion is positive or defending towards pornography it's usually a response to an already written negative or critical article. The critic is from different feminist theories, pro and counter arguments from both radical- and liberal feminism. Arguments that has its roots in the three counter waves during the 70's-, 80's- and 21's centrury is portrayed by the liberal feminist Petra Östergren in the publication Porr, Horor och Feminister. Some of the feminist arguments occur in contexts that describes the effects of pornography like something that inspire men and young boys to commit violent crimes. But there are also some arguments from the liberal feminist side that is more positive and that is arguing against the fact that women's pleasure is excluded from the male influenced debate. In the beginning of 2016 was the debate mostly focused on violence in pornography, that after a criminologist by the name Nina Rung published an article about sexuell crimes. During the summer the debate was mostly focused on sexual assaults due to the high numbers of assaults and harassments during the summer festivals. It will not be until october that the debate reached its heights, due to an article about the negative effects of pornography written by a group of politicians, tv-personalities and celebrities. Opinions that are possible to recognise during the rest of the year are adults and their concerns for kids and youths. A will to protect children and teenagers from pornography are strongly defined, but also a major discussion about sex norms and ideal in pornography are to be seen during 2016. The effect of pornography are also included in contexts like pornography- or emotional-impotence. An interesting part of the discourse analysis is the concept disclaimer. A linguistic discourse concept introduced by the researcher Teun A. van Dijk. The term have been used frequently by the counter porn critics. “I'm no moralist, but…” is an usual term used by the porn critics, something that could be used due to today's desire and habbit of building once’s own identity in our social media-opinion bubbles.

Le but de cette étude est d'évaluer l'évolution de la présence des caractéristiques de la pornographie tant revendiqueés par les féministes radicales, caractéristiques fondées sur la prémisse que la pornographie est le moyen fondamental de subordination des femmes.
Une analyse quantitative du contenu manifeste nous a permis de constater que Hustler présente une plus grande diversité de photographies au fil des ans. Le nombre de modèles et de scènes présentées augmente de façon significative dans les années '90, offrant ainsi plus de diversité aux lecteurs.
Une analyse qualitative du contenu latent nous a aidées à identifier et définir les caractéristiques principales du matériel suite à l'étude de six numéros de la revue. Ces dernières ne sont pas celles qu'avaient dénoncé les féministes concevant la pornographie comme violence. Certains éléments de leur définition de la pornographie s'y retrouvent, mais ont en effet une infime présence dans la revue Hustler, elle qui à l'époque avait tant été critiquée par les féministes. Nous avons développé sur les thèmes suivant: le caractère explicite de Hustler, la réification, la subordination, la violence, les femmes présentées comme des "prostituées", Hustler et les féministes face à face et le lecteur de Hustler. Une étude de quatre numéros supplémentaires nous a permis de confirmer les résultats trouvés dans notre première analyse.
Nous avons pu conclure que la dénonciation féministe radicale était peu justifiée en ce qui a trait à la revue Hustler. De plus, nous avons noté que le contenu de ce dernier changeait peu à travers le temps et qu'il ciblait un public spécifique est principalement masculin. D'un autre côte, la revue Hustler ouvre le discours sur la sexualité. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Texto completoResumen
La performance, qui n'a pas cessé d'évoluer depuis les années 1960, est un médium qui invite à repenser les limites du corps. Elle est symbole de prise de contrôle de soi et d'un retour au charnel dans un monde contemporain régi par les machines. Médium privilégié des femmes et de leur auto-représentation, incarnation même de leur engagement féministe, transgression des valeurs religieuses, morales et aliénantes… elle s'articule entre le spectaculaire, la mise en scène ou l'exil, bouscule le réel grâce au direct et à l'effet parfois « coup de poing » qu'elle suscite. Elle navigue entre perte des repères, onirisme ou spiritualité artistique mais aussi entre politique sociale, radicalisme parfois et auto-dérision souvent. « Performer la femme sauvage » est une interrogation autour de la représentation, l'incarnation et la transgression du corps féminin et la prise de position « borderline » entre nature et culture, féminin-masculin, conte de fée et pornographie, chienne et louve, politique et poétique… Par le biais de deux écrivaines très distinctes mais qui ont une commune et impressionnante capacité à s'adresser à tous-tes, il sera question de voir comment certain-e-s artistes, grâce à leur engagement et leur force individuelle, permettent d'ouvrir une brèche dans laquelle toute personne peut se reconnaître. Ainsi, loin de cette « hétéro-normalisation » qui cantonne les femmes dans des rôles bien définis, la performance symbolise avant tout le droit de disposer de son propre corps sans entrave ni culpabilité, tout en invitant à se baser sur sa chair comme seule preuve d’existence. Développement intérieur et expérience ont fait de cette recherche le fruit d’un parcours singulierPerformance - which has kept evolving since the 1960’s - is a medium that invites us to rethink the limits of the body. It is a symbol of taking control over oneself. It also implies a return to the physical, carnal world in our current society essentially ruled by technology. Performance is a medium of choice for women and their self-representation. It embodies their feminist commitment alongside the transgression of religious, moral and alienating values… it takes places somewhere between the show, staging or exile and shatters reality with its direct, « in your face » impact. Performance may not only emerge from disorientation, fantasy or artistic spirituality but also from some sort of radicalism and social politics often tinted with self-deprecating humour. « Performing wild woman » raises questions about the representation, the incarnation and the transgression of the female body and the « borderline » position between nature and culture, male and female, pornography and fairy tale, she-dog and she-wolf, fantasy and politics. Through the work of two very different writers sharing a common and impressive ability to address everyone, we shall study how it is possible for committed artists to open a breach to which everyone can identify. Finally, far from the « heterosexual normality » that confines women to specific roles, performance mostly symbolizes the right to reclaim enjoy one’s own body without guilt or restriction, inviting everyone to regard their flesh as the only proof of their existence. This research is the result of a particular journey made of internal development and experience

Texto completoResumen
La présente thèse vise à étudier deux différentes modalités de contestation de l'imaginaire dominant, à travers l'analyse des actions directes du mouvement FEMEN et des performances issues de la démarche post-porn. Ces deux démarches contestataires mettent en exergue et questionnent, chacune à leur manière, la sexualisation des corps, inhérente à certains schèmes de l'imaginaire dominant : les FEMEN la refusent ; la démarche post-porn propose d'autres façons de sexualiser les corps. Une comparaison approfondie de modes d'action des FEMEN et des acteur-ice-s de la scène post-porn implique de s'intéresser à deux façons différentes de retravailler les imaginaires sexuels dominants et de re-signifier les corps féminins, trans et/ou non hétérosexuels. A partir de la sexualisation des corps, je montre comment le regard sur les corps est verrouillé, structuré par un imaginaire traversé par les rapports de pouvoir : il y a des façons hégémoniques de raconter les corps des dominant.e.s et des dominé.e.s. En essaimant dans le monde social, les scripts corporels, ces fictions forgées par les logiques de domination, structurent le regard sur les corps, les pratiques corporelles et les interactions sociales. Mais ce verrouillage du regard contient en lui-même les conditions de son déverrouillage. Ce sont des modalités de ce déverrouillage qui seront interrogées, à travers les actions des FEMEN et des activistes post-porn. Proposer des narrations alternatives de corps déverrouille-t-il le regard sur les corps ? Quel rapport ces démarches contestataires entretiennent-elles aux fictions hégémoniques ?This thesis aims to study two different approaches which dissent from the dominant imaginary, through the analysis of the FEMEN movement’s direct actions and performances derived from the post-porn approach. Both dissenting approaches highlight and question, each in their own way, the sexualization of bodies, which is inherent to certain schema of the dominant imaginary: the FEMEN movement refuses it, while the post-porn approach offers other ways of sexualizing the body. An in-depth comparison of FEMEN's modes of action with those of the actors and actresses of the post-porn scene entails engagement with two different ways of re-working the notion of dominant sexual imaginaries, and also the re-signification of trans and/or non-heterosexual female bodies. Starting from the sexualization of bodies, I show how the way we look at bodies is locked in, structured by an imaginary shaped by power relationships: there are hegemonic ways to narrate the bodies of the dominant and the dominated. By disseminating themselves into the social world, corporal scripts – these fictions created through logics of domination – shape the way we look at bodies, corporal practices and social interactions. However, this locking in of the gaze contains in itself the conditions of its own unlocking. These modes of unlocking will be questioned through the prism of actions by FEMEN and post-porn activists. Does suggesting alternative body narrations unlock the gaze brought to bear on the body? What relation do these dissenting approaches have with hegemonic fictions?

Texto completoResumen
Syftet med föreliggande alster var att undersöka huruvida utvecklingen av hur kvinnor exponeras i kommersiella sammanhang går hand i hand med postfeminism eller inte, och om det i sådana fall bidrar till att det fortfarande skapas kommersiellt innehåll utifrån den manliga blicken. Materialet som låg till grund för detta arbete var en av flera bilder från Bianca Ingrossos företag, CAIA Cosmetics, läppstifts reklamkampanj från år 2019. Metoden utgjordes, i grunden, av en semiotisk bildanalys, men med en sociosemiotisk dito som spets. Båda metoderna har likheter och har komponenter som går in i varandra, varpå båda, med utgångspunkt i en kvalitativ analys, spelade roller för mitt resultat. Analysen utfördes med följande forskningsfråga som grund: Hur förhåller sig postfeministisk teori och kommodifierad feminism till aktuell bild ur ett sociosemiotiskt perspektiv? Genom detta arbetes huvudteorier postfeminism, kommodifierad feminism och the male gaze – den manliga blicken – analyserades det valda materialet med kopplingar till pornografiskt bildspråk. Utfallet blev dubbeltydigt då kvinnan i bilden, utifrån applicering utav presenterad teori, både kunde ses som ett passivt objekt men även som ett aktivt subjekt. Makten i vald bild kunde alltså ses både som en kraft utifrån den postfeministiska individualismen samtidigt som det också kan tolkas som ännu ett fall av objektifiering av kvinnor i reklam.The purpose with this essay was to examine whether or not the development of the exposure of women in commercial contexts correlates with postfeminism, and in such case, whether it contributes to the ongoing production of commercial content based on the theory of the male gaze. The fundamental material of this work was one of several images from Bianca Ingrosso's company, CAIA Cosmetics, lipstick advertising campaign from 2019. The method was, basically, a semiotic image analysis, but with an extending, socio-semiotic ditto as a complement. Both methods have similarities and have components that go into each other, which made both of them, based on a qualitative analysis, play important roles for the final results. The analysis was carried out based on the following research question: How does postfeministic theory and commodified feminism relate to the chosen image from a socio-semiotic perspective? Through the main theories of postfeminism, commodified feminism and the theory of the male gaze, the chosen material was analyzed with links to, and in comparison, with, pornographic imagery. The outcome was ambiguous as the woman in the image, based on the application of presented theories, could be seen both as a passive object but also as an active subject. The power in the chosen image could thus be seen both as a feminin force based on postfeminist individualism, while it, at the same time, also can be interpreted as yet another case of objectification of women in commercial advertising.

A pornogra a foi apresentada como problema político por uma ramificação anti-porn do feminismo no final dos anos 1970 nos EUA. Esse grupo rompeu com o feminismo liberal e com perspectivas liberais de igualdade sexual ao tratar radicalmente a excitação sexual masculina como uma forma de subordinação da mulher e discriminação sexual, dadas condições específicas sob as quais a excitação era concebida como danosa. Mas essas condições, do modo como foram definidas por esse grupo, eram muito amplas. Quando interpretadas, poderiam ir de situações de tortura e estupro reais até a leitura da Ilíada. Essa definição foi codificada em lei por Catherine MacKinnon nos anos 1980, mas rejeitada pela Suprema Corte como tentativa de censura de conteúdo, uma violação da liberdade de expressão. Da perspectiva anti-porn, a Suprema Corte decidiu que a liberdade de expressão era superior a igualdade sexual, e que a pornogra a poderia continuar a subordinar as mulheres aos homens. O problema político que encontramos aqui e o problema de como equilibrar liberdade e igualdade, de modo que as pessoas sejam tratadas com igualdade sem ter sua liberdade violada. Apresentamos uma crítica liberal, de Ronald Dworkin, a posição anti-porn. Ela é uma defesa singular da pornografia, pois não apela a liberdade de expressão, mas sim ao próprio direito a igualdade A pornografia é defendida como um importante modo de vida para muitas pessoas que têm diferentes perspectivas sobre o valor e o significado da prática pornográfica. Elas têm um direito a independência moral, que a definição anti-porn de pornografia viola, pois tenta atribuir tanto o valor como o sentido da prática sem consideração pelos valores e sentidos que pessoas de fato envolvidas na pornografia dão a ela. A liberdade de expressãoé concebida como necessária a esse processo de dar valor e sentido a uma atividade. Segundo essa concepção, liberdade não conflita com igualdade, porque, para que sejam tratadas com igualdade, as pessoas devem ser livres para expressar, atrav es de suas vidas, diferentes valores e sentidos, que por sua vez devem ser respeitados em decisões políticas que as afetam. A posição liberal deixa aberta a possibilidade de reformar a pornografia, de as pessoas reinventarem a pornografia do modo como for adequado as suas vidas em sua presente situação, enquanto a anti-porn não deixa, pois concebe a pornografia de um modo unico e fixo. A principal critica liberal da posição anti-porn, portanto, nãoé sobre seu conteúdo, sobre o que feministas anti-porn dizem que a pornografia seja ou faça, mas ao modo como elas tratam as pessoas, que é sem respeito pelo sentido de suas atividades e pelo valor que estão tentando dar as suas vidas através da pornografia.Pornography was introduced as a political problem by the anti-porn branch of feminism in the late 1970's in the USA. This group broke with liberal feminism and liberal perspectives on sexual equality when they radically treated male sexual excitement as a form of women subordination and sex discrimination, given speci c conditions under which the excitement was conceived as harmful. But those conditions, the way they were de ned by this group, were very broad. When interpreted, they could go from actual situations of torture and rape to the reading of the Iliad. This de nition was codi ed into law by Catherine MacKinnon in the 1980's but rejected by the Supreme Court as an attempt of content censorship, a violation of freedom of expression. From the anti-porn perspective, the Supreme Court decided that freedom of speech was superior to sex equality, and that pornography could continue to subordinate women to men. The political problem that we nd here is the problem of how to balance liberty and equality, so that people can be treated with equality while not having their freedom violated. We present a liberal critique, by Ronald Dworkin, of the anti-porn position. It's a singular defense of pornography, as it does not call for freedom of expression but for the right to equality itself. Pornography is defended as an important way of life for many people that have di erent perspectives on the value and meaning of the pornographic practice They have a right to moral independence, which the anti-porn de nition of pornography violates as it tries to give both the value and the meaning of the practice without concern for the value and meaning people actually involved in pornography give to it. Freedom of expression is conceived as necessary for this process of giving value and meaning to an activity. In that sense, liberty does not con ict with equality, because for people to be treated with equality they should be free to express, through their lives, di erent values and meanings, which in turn should be respected in political decisions a ecting them. The liberal position leaves open the possibility to reform pornography, for people to reinvent pornography as they see t for their lives in their present situation, which the anti-porn does not, since it conceives pornography in a single and xed way. The main liberal critique of the anti-porn position, thus, is not about it's content, about what anti-porn feminists say pornography is or what pornography does, but the way they treat people, which is without respect for the meaning of their actvity and the value they are trying to give to their lives through pornography.

Texto completoResumen
The thesis examines how sex/gender and sexuality are represented through text and images within the Internet community Sylvia whose primary target group is girls. Through an examination of the aesthetics, the member rules and the choices that constitute the framework for the site, the study observes Sylvia as a cultural context. In relation to this setting, the ten most visited member profiles at the time for the study are more closely examined. These profiles are studied from a constructivist view of sex/gender and are analysed from the perspective of feminist and quee r theory as well as in the light of feministic debates concerning sexuality and erotica. The thesis shows how Internet as a forum and the non-heterosexual context Sylvia open up for a constructivist understanding of sex/gender and also leads to a questioning of "masculinity" and "femininity". But the biological sex remains important since the community implies an explicit discussion about biological sex when targeting girls who should feel secure when practicing their sexuality. The result is that the sex/gender structures within the community often keep to a binary and essential segregation of the sexes. Sylvia becomes a free zone of solidarity in between women. This opens up for sexual experimentation beyond the heterosexual erotification of the female body. The user profiles also contain subversive gender expressions which are questioning the hetero norm. Even though there is a possibility of choosing from a variety of alternative sex/genders, the majority of the users keeps defining themselves as "girls" and "boys" . The study shows that Sylvia remains to relate to the world "outside" and this leads to an increase of Internet's possibility of deconstruction of identities online.
Uppsatsen undersöker hur kön/genus och sexualitet representeras i text och bild på Internet-communityt Sylvia, vars primära målgrupp är tjejer. Studien ger en överblick över den kulturella kontext som Sylvia utgör genom att undersöka den estetik, de regler och de valmöjligheter som sätter ramen för användarna. Med detta som bakgrund studeras de tio användarprofiler som vid tiden för studien var mest besökta. Profilerna undersöks utifrån en konstruktivistisk syn på kön/genus och analyseras utifrån såväl feministiska som queerteoretiska perspektiv samt i ljuset av feministiska debatter om sexualitet och erotik. Utifrån studien går det bland annat att se hur Internet som forum och den icke-heterosexuella kontexten Sylvia öppnar upp för en konstruktivistisk syn på kön och ett ifrågasättande av "manlighet" och "kvinnlighet". Men det biologiska könet bibehåller sin status eftersom sidan explicit för en diskussion om biologiskt kön i samband med att den riktar sig till tjejer som ska kunna känna sig trygga i utövandet av sin sexualitet. Därför faller kön/genusstrukturerna på communityt ofta tillbaka i en binär och essentialistisk könsuppdelning. Sylvia blir något av en frizon av kvinnlig gemenskap som öppnar upp för ett experimenterande med sexualitet som sträcker sig bortom den heterosexuella erotiseringen av kvinnokroppen. I användarprofilerna återfinns även subversiva genusuttryck som ifrågasätter heteronormen. Trots att det är möjligt att välja mellan ett flertal alternativa kön/genus fortsätter majoriteten av användarna att definiera sig själva som "tjejer" och "killar". Studien visar på att Sylvia hela tiden förhåller sig till världen "utanför" och härmed minskar Internets möjliga dekonstruerande effekt på identiteter online.

The original impetus for this investigation into prostitution comes from an economic inquiry into one form of work performed largely by women. But as a feminist study, this investigation cannot look simply at the economics of prostitution. Prostitution is both work and sex and an analysis must therefore also explore the question of sexuality, and the nature of sexual relations between men and women. This study seeks to offer a conceptual understanding of prostitution, and in particular, to examine the structural determinants of the sex industry. The analysis is couched within a feminist framework, taking cognisance of the theoretical divisions within feminism itself. The study attempts further to examine the question of policies towards prostitution, an issue which has been brought to the fore by the AIDS pandemic. In so doing, it refers to historical examples of state control of the sex market and draws on feminist challenges to such regulation. These challenges have exposed a fundamental contradiction for feminist praxis between the need both to protect and empower women. In exploring the nature and implications of this contradiction, the investigation looks also at the feminist debate around the censorship of pornography, a debate which highlights the kinds of questions feminists must confront when considering the issue of control. An attempt is made to resolve this contradiction by drawing a distinction between short-term and long-term policies towards prostitution. Although the long-term feminist project is the creation of a society where the structural determinants of the sex market have been eliminated, it is argued that this vision ignores the reality of prostitution and the problems faced by those women who work in the sex industry. Prostitution must be legalised to ensure the rights and protection of prostitutes, but these measures must be complemented by policies that challenge the structural basis of prostitution, and the oppression of women in society in general.Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1992.

Esta dissertação pretende analisar a resposta de 260 mulheres membros de grupos
feministas no Facebook, coletadas através de um questionário sobre pornografia
feminista. Para esta pesquisa, trataremos a pornografia como um produto audiovisual e
mediático, que precisa ser socialmente contextualizado para ser entendido. Usando
análise temática e apresentação dos resultados finais, incluindo a tabulação cruzada de
respostas, que levaram aos seguintes subtemas e temas, podemos concluir que a
"pornografia" não tem uma definição consensual dentro dos grupos feministas. Isto pode
ser entendido como um subproduto das diferentes correntes dentro do feminismo,
algumas das quais apoiam o trabalho sexual, e algumas das quais são contra; e a diferença
de influência e impacto que eles têm.This dissertation intends to analyze the response of 260 women members of feminist groups on Facebook, collected through a questionnaire on feminist pornography. For this research we will treat pornography as an audiovisual and media product, which needs to be socially contextualized to be understood. Using thematic analysis and presentation of final results, including cross-tabulating responses, which led to the following themes and sub-themes, we can conclude that “pornography” does not have a consensual definition within feminist groups. This can be understood as a byproduct of the different currents within feminism, some of which support sex work, and some of which are against it; and the difference in influence and impact they have.

Texto completoResumen
Given feminists’ longstanding concerns about the ideological effects of media images, and prompted by the lack of, but continued need for, feminist activism today, some feminist scholars have become increasingly interested in how popular media shape public understandings of feminism, represent its issues, and define its history. Communication scholars also appreciate that both media texts and social movements are produced and received within particular historical contexts, and that controversies over either are discursive sites in which cultural and political values clash and their meanings are negotiated. During the 1970s, second-wave feminism, especially its radical wing, was a controversial movement which threatened to disrupt basic relations between women and men and, therefore, has been much maligned by men, women, anti-feminists, and a new generation of self-proclaimed feminists. Yet, the second wave is often portrayed inaccurately. This dissertation thus reviews key works, theories, and events associated with radical feminism as well as the debates between it and other schools of feminist thought–liberal, Marxist/socialist, psychoanalytic, cultural, and various ‘new’ feminisms. Then, employing a context-sensitive form of ideological criticism, I examine three films, their promotional strategies, their mainstream critical and scholarly receptions, and how these elements converged with particular feminist discourses within their shared historical contexts. Specifically, I investigate why the horror films Rosemary’s Baby (1968), I Spit on Your Grave (1978), and Snuff (1976)–which each featured an exposed, vulnerable, violated, or ‘monstrous’ female body–became objects of controversy when they tapped into the contemporaneous feminist issues of reproduction, rape, and pornography, respectively, and how the films’ receptions reveal ways in which people have made sense of feminism and its issues. I contend that these controversies, both individually and when viewed as a series, were symptomatic of the hegemonic negotiations of second-wave feminism and its attempts to publicize discourses about sex, violence, and the female body, negotiations which were occurring both inside and outside the women’s movement. Through these controversial cases, then, we can see feminism’s transformation–from an active movement which criticized the structures of women’s oppression to a discursive and primarily academic enterprise focused more on criticizing itself.text

Buscar texto completoResumen
The concept of high and low art have a very close relation to social class. There is a prevailing notion within developed countries that certain forms of art are more legitimate and deserving of respect than others due to their association with the upper class. This social aspect of art leads to the question of how art is used in society and whether it should be used in that way. Marxists’ deep interest in class have made their perspective particularly prominent concerning debate on the subject. Having such a deep interest in class, it is expected they have their own opinions on the role of class in art’s usage. Despite their immense influence on the subject, I find the Marxist perspective concerning class and art lacking. In this work, I will attempt to critique the Marxist position on the relation of art and class and attempt to provide a unique perspective on this subject. I will be examining art and class in terms of two questions. First, what is the relationship between class and art and how is art used by social classes? Second, what should the relationship between art and class be and how should art be treated in society? I will first examine the Marxist position through Theodor Adorno and Hebert Marcuse, present Bourdieu’s sociological findings on the subject, and present thinkers outside of the Marxist position while building my position in contrast to these thinkers.

Texto completoResumen
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)This thesis examines the motivations behind the advocates and detractors of the Indianapolis Anti-Pornography Ordinance of 1984. It will examine how and why Indianapolis Conservatives, who opposed pornography due to its perceived moral implications, joined forces with a radical feminist to create an ordinance outlawing pornography that utilized the radical feminist argument of pornography’s potential violence. It will explain the national divide between radical and liberal feminists on the issue of pornography and how this is reflected on a local scale through the methods of Indianapolis feminists to contend with violence against women. Through interviews with those associated with the ordinance, it will broaden the understanding of the sides in the debate and how the ordinance was defeated. This thesis will also demonstrate that while the ordinance ultimately failed to be enforced after being signed into law by Mayor Hudnut, it marked a significant moment in not only Indianapolis but the Nation’s history and helped change the course of the pornography debate.

The main focus of this study is Benhabib' s concepts of the 'concrete other' and
'interactive' universalism, Cornell's 'ethical' feminist thought and Nedelsky's argument on
'rights as relationship'. The need for an affirmation of the feminine is emphasised. I argue
that we should strive towards a 'new choreography of sexual difference' based on the
ethical view that 'woman' cannot be described in the present. She is the beyond. My study
explore the implications of ethical feminism for the possibility of the transformation of a
legal system and society as a whole. In this regard it lays particular emphasis on Derrida's
concept of 'justice as aporia' and justice as limit to a legal system. I discuss pornography
as a concrete example of texts that may either frustrate transformation or contribute to
it. I argue in . this regard that pornography should not be banned but that access to
pornography should be subjected to restrictions. This approach will serve the ambigious
nature of pornography as both a threat to and a vehicle for the exploration of the feminine
in contemporary society.Private Law
