포르노 인식에 대한 분열적 여성주체의 분석

Women view their bodies not only as sexual objects, but also as means of erotic impulses and fantasies. Divided women's perceptions toward the issue of pornography is partly due to the reality that pornography is a tool used by men to subjugate women. In order to understand women's ambivalence toward pornography, we need to examine the way our culture's sexual representations have shaped. In this paper I want to investigate women's false consciousness with regard to their internalization of pornographic ideas. My purpose is to reveal the fact that women's subordination and violence against women are eroticized through pornographic images. Looking at pornography in this light we are able to see it as pathetic and ridiculous. In fact, divided women's subjectivity perceiving pornography is based on the paradox of pornography itself: pornography as exploitation and degradation of human body, and as enjoyable "text" for fantasy. Although Goldstein(1992) states "Even if there were no pornography, there would be pornography", I think we can transform the content of pornography at least. Let us pornography die and develope a new field of human being's erotica, if we can not abolish it.
