Résumé :

Sex trafficking is defined as the use of force, coercion, or deception used to make someone work in the sex trade (United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, n.d.). Sex trafficking is often associated with prostitution, but are the same means ever utilized to force or coerce people to work in pornography? The results of this research suggest this connection.

The purpose of this dissertation was to identify the intersections of pornography and sex trafficking, and more specifically, discover if victims of sex trafficking are ever used to create pornography. In other words, are adults who appear in different kinds of pornography ever victims of sex trafficking themselves? Sex trafficking is illegal in the United States, whereas the pornography industry is not. So long as the participants in pornography are willing adults, any sexual activity is legal under current laws. It is therefore critical to determine consent.

A review of literature demonstrated the need to further investigate any relation between the two industries and establish a legitimate connection. Literature relating to sex trafficking and its intersections with pornography are identified, compiled, and analyzed in order to conclude where there is room for further study. While statistics on the prevalence of sex trafficking are available, albeit unreliable, and information is also available on the experiences of trafficking victims, little has been written on the subject of victims who are then forced to work in pornography. This dissertation addresses that deficiency. Substantial qualitative literature is available on the experiences of sex trafficking victims, which serves to explain better the systematic processes that contribute to their victimization, but there are limited academic studies available that draw a direct connection between sex trafficking victims and those working in pornography. The review of the literature indicated the possibility that those in pornography are at times victims of sex trafficking.

Six anti-trafficking and/or anti-pornography activists, some of whom were victims themselves, were interviewed for their experiences and personal stories. It was ascertained that women in pornography are at times victims of sex trafficking during the filming or shooting. Whether they are trafficked in pornography only, or other sex industries such as prostitution, varies based on the experience. Further research is necessary to determine how common this is, and to better understand the systemic structures, which allow for this to occur.

Résumé :

Thesis (LLD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The advent of a constitutional democracy in South Africa after the first non-racial democratic elections in 1994 and the subsequent adoption of a final constitution in 1996 introduced a legal order based on "democratic values, social justice and fundamental rights". The inception of a constitutional democracy in South African encourages an assessment of the possible constitutional ramifications of pornography, specifically within a discourse on women's interests in equality, human dignity and physical integrity. Under the strong influence of United States First Amendment doctrine, pornography is defined (and protected in the "marketplace of ideas") as a particular mode of expression, thus allowing pornography to be viewed as part of the fabric of an open, free and democratic society. Within this doctrinal context, the recognition and entrenchment of freedom of expression have firmly placed pornography on both the South African constitutional and political agendas. The objective of this study is to address specific aspects of the debate on adult heterosexual pornography (that is, pornography produced for and targeted at the male heterosexual market) in order to establish its constitutionality. This dissertation is not, however, intended as a discourse on pornography as a possible threat to the moral fibre of society, but rather about pornography as an invasion ofwomen's particular constitutional interests in equality, human dignity as well as security in and control over their bodies. To this end, Chapter 2 serves to establish a suitable theoretical framework that is capable of facilitating a woman-centred analysis of adult heterosexual pornography within the ambit of the Bill of Rights in the South African Constitution. Consequently, the merit ofliberal feminism and radical feminist thought is critically assessed against the particular (constitutional and doctrinal) demands presented by a study of this nature. Chapter three - the first in a trilogy which seeks to evaluate the different conceptualisations of pornography in the United States, Canada and South Africa - critically reflects on the obscenity jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the United States of America as well as radical feminist campaigns in Minneapolis and Indianapolis to re-conceptualise pornography and its harm. Chapter 4 entails a critical reflection on the capacity of Canadian constitutional jurisprudence to address adult heterosexual pornography either as a patriarchal structure which impacts on women's interests in equality, dignity and physical integrity or as a mode of expression which incites gender hatred. Chapter 5 traces the history of South African censorship law as prelude to a critical discussion of the current Films and Publications Act as well as the first decision of the South African Constitutional Court on the possible human rights implications of sexually explicit material. The chapter concludes with proposals for a suitable conception of the (constitutional) harm as well as a legal definition of adult heterosexual pornography for South African law. The constitutional implications of the proposed conceptions of pornography and harm are evaluated in Chapter 6 with specific reference to sections 9, 10 and 12 as well as subsection 16(2)( c) of the South African Constitution. Chapter 7 concludes the present study with some thoughts on the suitability of censorship as legal and political strategy.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die koms van 'n konstitusionele demokrasie in Suid-Afrika ná die eerste nie-rassige demokratiese verkiesings in 1994 en die daaropvolgende aanname van 'n finale grondwet in 1996 het' n regsorde wat op "demokratiese waardes, maatskaplike geregtigheid en basiese menseregte" gegrond is, ingelei. Die aanvang van 'n konstitusionele demokrasie in Suid-Afrika moedig inderwaarheid 'n evaluering van die moontlike grondwetlike gevolge van pornografie, spesifiek binne 'n diskoers oor vroue se belange in gelykheid, menswaardigheid en fisiese integriteit, aan. Onder die sterk invloed van die leerstelling van die Amerikaanse Eerste Amendement word pornografie gedefinieer (en beskerm binne die "markplein van idees") as 'n spesifieke vorm van uitdrukking wat gevolglik meebring dat pornografie noodwendig as deel van 'n oop, vrye en demokratiese gemeenskap beskou word. Binne hierdie dogmatiese konteks het die erkenning en . verskansing van vryheid van uitdrukking pornografie stewig op sowel die Suid-Afrikaanse grondwetlike as politieke agendas geplaas. Die oogmerk van hierdie studie is om spesifieke aspekte rondom die debat oor volwasse heteroseksuele pornografie (naamlik, pornografie geproduseer vir en gerig op die manlike heteroseksuele mark) aan te spreek ten einde die grondwetlikheid daarvan te bepaal. Hierdie proefskrif is egter nie bedoel as 'n diskoers oor pornografie as moontlike bedreiging vir die morele stoffasie van die gemeenskap nie, maar eerder oor pornografie as 'n 'n inbreukmaking op vroue se spesifieke grondwetlike belange in gelykheid, menswaardigheid asook sekerheid in en beheer oor hulle liggame. Gevolglik dien Hoofstuk 2 om 'n gepaste teoretiese raamwerk daar te stel wat oor die vermoë beskik om 'n vroue-gesentreerde analise van volwasse heteroseksuele pornografie binne die raamwerk van die Handves van Menseregte in die Suid-Afrikaanse Grondwet aan te help. Daarom word die meriete van die liberale feminisme en die radikale feministiese denke krities oorweeg teenoor die spesifieke (grondwetlike en dogmatiese) uitdagings wat deur 'n studie van hierdie aard gestel word. Hoofstuk 3 - die eerste in 'n trilogie wat ten doel het om die verskillende opvattings oor pornografie in die Verenigde State, Kanada en Suid-Afrika te ondersoek - bevat 'n kritiese oorweging van die Amerikaanse Hooggeregshofse beskouing van obseniteit asook die radikaal feministies-geïnspireerde veldtogte in Minneapolis en Indianapolis wat ten doel gehad het om pornografie en sy nadeel te herkonseptualiseer. Hoofstuk 4 behels 'n kritiese oorweging van die vermoë van die Kanadese grondwetlike reg om volwasse heteroseksuele pornografie Of as 'n patriargale struktuur wat 'n impak op vroue se belange in gelykheid, menswaardigheid en fisiese integriteit het Of as 'n vorm van uitdrukking wat geslagshaat aanwakker, aan te spreek. Hoofstuk 5 speur die geskiedenis van sensuur in Suid-Afrika na as inleiding tot 'n kritiese bespreking van die huidige Wet op Films en Publikasies asook die eerste beslissing van die Suid- Afrikaanse Grondwetlike Hof oor die menseregte-implikasies van seksueel eksplisiete materiaal. Die hoofstuk sluit afmet voorstelle vir 'n gepaste begrip van sowel die (grondwetlike)nadeel as 'n regsdefinisie van volwasse heteroseksuele pornografie vir die Suid-Afrikaanse reg. Die grondwetlike implikasies van die voorgestelde begrippe van pornografie en gepaardgaande nadeel word in Hoofstuk 6 opgeweeg met besondere verwysing na artikels 9, 10 en 12 asook subartikeI16(2)(c) van die Suid-Afrikaanse Grondwet. Hoofstuk 7 sluit die onderhawige studie af met enkele gedagtes oor sensuur as gepasde regs- en politiese strategie.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Pornography and Christianity are multifaceted, complex institutions that resist generalisation. In today's postmodern society, they are also mediated commodities that compete within the mediasphere. They are both dependant on the mass media, and communication technologies such as the internet for their survival. The binarised nature of these two institutions has led to a significant amount of 'productive othering', whereby both institutions have sought to define themselves in relation to their 'other', thus creating a space in society for their opposing force. In a sense, Christianity and pornography rely on each other in order to contextualise, and provide an opportunity to restate their own ideological position. This mutual need, suggests that the contemporary nature of their relationship is symbiotic. The relationship between pornography and Christianity can be observed in various sites within the mediasphere, such as the internet, and the film industry. These two sites provide varying accounts of their relationship, and evidence of productive othering, while also demonstrating the paradoxical affect the postmodern mediasphere is having on these two institutions -- that they are also becoming increasingly hybridised, intertextual, and difficult to distinguish from one another.

Esplin, Charlotte R. « What Motives Drive Pornography Consumption ». BYU ScholarsArchive, 2020. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/8953.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Pornography use has become widespread and mainstream in American society, with estimates that 60% of men and 35% of women have viewed pornography at some time in the last year. Pornography use has been associated with both positive and negative outcomes depending on the user, and some of these conflicting results may stem from problematic measurement. Using a newly validated measure that assesses frequency, duration, arousal, and deliberate or accidental exposure to seven common types of pornography, we sought to understand if the motivations to view pornography differed depending on biological sex of the user and the type of use he or she engaged in. With an MTurk.com sample of 312 participants, we used a variable selection to explore the most consistent predictors of pornography use. Results found that sexually based motivations were consistent motivations to use pornography for both males and females. Educationally based motivations reliably predicted accidental exposure to pornography, while emotions like sadness and tiredness reliably predicted longer durations of pornography use. These results indicate that motivations to view pornography are similar for males and females, and that sexually based reasons and emotions are primary in an individual's decision to use pornography.

Résumé :

Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology in the Department of Psychology at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2012.
The major aim of this study was to investigate the attitude of University of Zululand students towards pornography as well as the effects that pornography might have on their social and academic wellbeing. The study was conducted at the University of Zululand. A total number of 203 participants took part in this study. The questionnaire served to investigate the attitudes of students towards pornography and the effects that porn might have on their social and academic wellbeing. A statistical analysis of the results was conducted and the results indicated that students view pornography for various reasons which include, but are not limited to the following: sexual education, as a stimulant for arousal, as a tool to conform to peer-pressure. Effects of pornography viewing varied from negative to positive. It was also assumed and supported by literature that pornography viewing takes place at an early onset, which places a great responsibility on parents, teachers, care-givers and media to play a more active role in the management of pornography through; practical ways of empowering individuals and parents at early stages of development. Teaching youngsters on critical viewing of content they view on the internet. Promoting programmes with positive sexual content. The need for parental guidance on internet usage; computer to be placed in central places at home, in schools and in other public areas.

Résumé :

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.

Bailey, Alexandra Jayne. « Pornography, the Internet and sexual offending ». Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/39369/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This thesis focussed on online sexual offending, particularly the access of indecent images of children (IIOC), and whether certain risk factors associated with contact sexual offending, namely offence-supportive cognitions and deviant sexual interest (DSI), were relevant for individuals who access IIOC. In references to offence-supportive cognitions for IIOC offenders, the issue is unclear. Research indicates that IIOC offenders do not hold these distortions, whereas the narratives from IIOC offenders indicates that distortions do exist for them. An examination of legal and illegal pornography, and its relationship to offence-supportive attitudes and sexual offence-related behaviour via a systematic review indicated that studies cited a relationship between pornography and sexual offence-related behaviours more often than a relationship with offence-supportive attitudes. However, the review found no statistically significant differences, with either outcome, regarding the number of studies citing a relationship compared to those that did not; so no consistent relationship with pornography was found. The systematic review also highlighted the difficultly in ascertaining the impact of IIOC on individuals due to the limited research comparing IIOC offenders to community controls. However, there did appear to be certain individuals for when pornography access (including IIOC) could be problematic. The case study highlighted the difference between global distortions and those specific to the offence in question, and how this might have relevance to IIOC offenders. Regarding the second risk factor of interest, DSI with IIOC offenders is not well understood, with research indicating these offenders to be more deviant than some contact sexual offenders, whilst the narratives of IIOC offenders suggest the opposite. Within the research project, DSI was found to be salient, with IIOC offenders differing from controls on multiple measures of DSI. DSI was also highlighted within the case study, regarding its role within the subsequent crossover offending of an IIOC offender; the Internet and accessing IIOC appeared influential in the development of the client’s sexual interest in children, and in turn, their contact offending. Discussions viewed the importance of measuring DSI within risk assessment, and its inclusion within interventions with IIOC offenders. Consideration was giving to the prevention of IIOC access online to prevent the development of offence-supportive beliefs and behaviour, and to increase the protection of children.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Previous studies suggest that religious individuals are more likely than non-religious individuals to perceive their pornography use as problematic. For our six-month longitudinal study, we recruited a sample of adults from Turkprime.com. We hypothesized that more religious individuals who use pornography at baseline would report higher self-perceived problematic pornography use at three months, which would be associated with higher depression at six months. We constructed and validated our own measure of self-perceived problematic pornography use, which included two factors: excessive pornography use and compulsive pornography use. We ran two separate structural equation models, one with excessive use at three months and the other with compulsive use at three months. Contrary to our hypothesis, religiosity was not related to self-perceived problematic pornography use in any of the models. Both models were moderated by biological sex. For men, religiosity at baseline was associated with increased pornography use at six months. For both men and women, excessive pornography use at three months was associated with increased depression at six months. For men, depression at baseline was associated with self-perceived problematic pornography use at three months. For women, higher self-perceived problematic pornography use at three months predicted lower frequency of pornography use and higher depression at six months. Women’s pornography use was more stable over time than men’s. Our findings are discussed in light of theories of depression, religious incongruence, and sexual scripts.

Résumé :

This study explored reasons for relapse among a sample of 938 self-identified problematic pornography users. A combination of numeric content analysis and qualitative coding of responses to an open-ended question about pornography relapse revealed six main categories of reasons for relapse. The mental, emotional, and relational categories were then analyzed in detail, and this analysis revealed significant overlap of responses from the emotional and relational categories. Hence, a new category of relational-emotional reasons for relapse was created and analyzed. The findings from this study highlight the complex interactions of different types of factors driving relapse in self-perceived problematic pornography users and future research and clinical applications are discussed.

Résumé :

Since academic research first began to consider pornography, it has remained a key reference point for discussions of representation and sexuality, particularly for scholars in the fields of feminist and queer studies. The more recently emerging genre of queer pornography—popularly understood to be pornography made by queer people for queer people—thus offers a particularly interesting example for questions about genre, representation and queer politics. This thesis considers what comprises queer pornography when it is situated in a series of related but not identical fields— “porn studies”, theories of representation and identity, genre studies, and feminist queer theory. The first chapter considers how we write about pornography in the academy, tracing in particular the use of anti-pornography feminism within the field of porn studies. The second chapter uses queer pornography to unpack what it means to want to “see yourself on screen”. Across the collected fields of feminist, cultural, sexuality, and screen studies, the concept of “identification” has been key to analysis of pornography but has also become key to understanding the form and effects of pornography outside the academy, with different accounts of identity and representation being tested against pornography. Using feminist film theory, the thesis considers the allure of identification and intersectionality in both academic and popular settings. In the concluding chapters, this thesis asks how the objects of queer pornography and queer theory might speak to each other. Chapter three outlines a genre definition of queer pornography, focusing on its audience and reception, while chapter four takes this account of queer pornography as a site for understanding the queer theoretical debates about anti/normativity. The final chapter draws on the work of Robyn Wiegman to consider how we engage with our scholarly objects in feminist and queer theory. It argues that queer pornography provides insight into queer politics in a post-gay marriage world and contends that queer pornography, and its affective terrain, ultimately represent a kind of queer utopia.

Résumé :

The primary goal of this study was to investigate the habits of college students who use pornography. The study was designed to collect data on the use of online pornography by college students. Through the use of an online survey, the study collected general demographic data and data on the frequency with which students used online pornography. The study also collected data on the general attitudes of college students towards online pornography. Participants consisted of students enrolled at the University of North Texas during the Spring 2016 semester. The participants of the study were contacted by an email requesting the student to respond to an online anonymous survey regarding their use of online pornography. The survey consisted of thirty questions and statements, primarily utilizing a five point Likert scale. Analysis of the data collected as well as a discussion of the findings are included.

Résumé :

Over the last 40 years, since Moody’s (1975) seminal work, Near Death experiences (NDEs) have been being at the centre of several academic investigations in in psychology, philosophy and medicine, and the debate on its nature is still in progress (Agrillo, 2011). This topic widely extends the scientists’ and philosophers’ reflections on the relationship between mind and brain, life and death, as well as the entire ontological question (Moody, 1975; Rousseau, 2011; Fenwick 2012). Until now, a number of authors tried to investigate and propose an interpretation of NDE. In existing literature, we observe a predominance of opinion articles, review articles, and papers, which describe NDE’s features. A recent work, that offers a review of the literature, highlights a lack of empirical studies that test explanatory hypotheses by using original data (Sleutjes et al., 2014). Direct studies of the phenomenon in lab, or at least in a controlled condition, are not possible, given the subjective and extraordinary nature of this experience (see paragraph 1.1 for an extensive description). Thus, the investigation of what NDE produces in people (e.g., memories of the experience or the so-called NDE aftereffects) could represent a more suitable way to explore NDE nature, since if we can assess objectively differences between people who had a NDE and people who had not, we could be able to derive indirectly information about NDE. In this study, we focus on a widely reported aftereffect, which is not still understood: NDErs’ loss or reduction of fear of death (Tassel-Matamua & Lindsay, 2016). In order to explore the processes underlining the loss of fear of death in people who had a NDE, we apply a mixed methodology, in which explicit and implicit measures are included. The general aim of this study is to investigate conscious and unconscious death anxiety and death representations in people who had a NDE, and to provide insights on the nature of this fascinating phenomenon. In the first chapter, the theoretical framework of the study is provided. NDE has been described as an intense phenomenon that leads to a variety of psychological and interpersonal aftereffects. In this section, a number of theoretical models are extensively described in order to provide a useful framework to interpret this phenomenon. Moreover, a review on the death anxiety concept and the measures of fear of death is provided, highlighting differences between conscious fear of death, usually assessed with self-report instruments, and unconscious reaction toward death, assessed using implicit measures. Finally, Terror Management Theory (TMT) is introduced, as one of the most relevant models that describe human reactions toward death. In this piece of research, NDE is studied for the first time within a TMT framework, producing interesting implications that are discussed in last chapter. In the second chapter, the method is presented. In order to test our hypotheses and to integrate different perspectives and methodologies, participants’ death attitude is assessed using self-report scales, open ended questions, and an implicit measure of what is called “Death Thought Accessibility”, that it is an indirect measure of psychologically defensive reactions toward death. In the third chapter, results are reported, showing differences between people who had a NDE and those who do not. Specifically, people who had a near death experience reported less fear of death, more death acceptance, and a different representation of death with respect to individuals who had not have a NDE. In the fourth chapter, discussion of results and suggestions for future research are provided.
Negli ultimi 40 anni le esperienze di pre-morte (Near Death Experiences - NDE) sono state oggetto di studio in psicologia, filosofia e medicina, e un dibattito sulla loro natura è ancora in corso. Questo tema, infatti, ha notevoli implicazioni rispetto la relazione tra mente e corpo, vita e morte, nonché sulla questione ontologica. Finora, diversi autori hanno proposto un'interpretazione delle esperienze di pre-morte. Nella letteratura accademica esistente, si può osservare una predominanza di opinion article, review article e articoli che descrivono le caratteristiche di questa esperienza. Una recente rassegna segnala una mancanza di studi empirici che mirino a testare delle ipotesi usando dati originali. Esperimenti in laboratorio che mirino a osservare direttamente il fenomeno non sono possibili a causa delle caratteristiche delle esperienze di pre-morte (vedi paragrafo 1.1.1), quindi lo studio dei prodotti di queste esperienza (come i ricordi dell'esperienza o i gli effetti della stessa) può rappresentare un via più indicata per comprendere la natura delle NDE, dato che se fosse possibile stabilire oggettivamente delle differenze tra chi vive una NDE e chi no, potremmo dunque inferire indirettamente delle informazioni sulla natura di questo fenomeno. In questo studio ci siamo focalizzati sul processo di perdita della paura di morire da parte di chi vive una NDE. Con l’obiettivo di comprendere questo processo abbiamo utilizzato una metodologia mista in cui sono comprese misure esplicite e implicite. L’obiettivo generale di questo studio è quello di investigare l’ansia di morte conscia e inconscia e le rappresentazioni di morte di chi ha vissuto una esperienza di pre-morte, e fornire nuovi insight sulla natura di questo fenomeno. Nel primo capitolo vengono introdotti i riferimenti teorici su cui si fonda questo studio. Le NDE sono state descritte come un’intensa esperienza che porta ad una varietà di conseguenze psicologiche ed interpersonali. In questo capitolo sono descritti i diversi modelli utilizzati per interpretare questo fenomeno. Inoltre viene riportata anche una rassegna sul costrutto “ansia di morte” e sui modi di misurarlo, evidenziando le differenze tra la paura di morte conscia, valutata con i self-report, e le reazioni inconsce verso la morte, valutate attraverso l’utilizzo di misurazioni implicite. Il modello teorico denominato “terror management theory” è stato introdotto come modello di spicco nella letteratura nella valutazione dei processi inconsci legati alla gestione di contenuti di morte. In questa ricerca, per la prima volta le esperienze di pre-morte vengono studiate sotto la lente della terror management theory, generando interessanti implicazioni che sono discusse nell’ultimo capitolo. Nel secondo capitolo viene presentato il metodo della ricerca. Con l’obiettivo di testare diverse ipotesi e integrare diverse prospettive teoriche e metodologie, sono stati studiati gli atteggiamenti verso la morte utilizzando strumenti self-report, domande aperte e una misura implicita chiamata “accessibilità ai pensieri di morte”, che è una misura indiretta delle reazioni difensive verso i contenuti di morte. Nel terzo capitolo vengono riportati i risultati e si evidenziano differenze tra chi ha vissuto una NDE e chi no. Nel dettaglio, le persone che hanno avuto un’esperienza di pre-morte mostrano meno paura di morire, più accettazione della morte e una differente rappresentazione della morte rispetto a chi non ha vissuto tale esperienza. Nel quarto capitolo è inserita la discussione dei risultati e le indicazioni per la ricerca futura.

Résumé :

This thesis will critically analyse Australias censorship laws with a specific focus on the regulation of pornography distributed via the internet, a means of mass production and distribution of pornography. It will be argued that Australias current censorship laws are deficient because their focus is morality based. A morality based approach does not take into account what pornography is and does; in particular, the sex equality harms to real women and the inequality within society caused by pornography. This thesis will argue that the current censorship regime is an ineffective means of regulating internet pornography because it fails to address the complexities of internet regulation and the selling and marketing of sexual inequality online. This thesis will also argue that these censorship laws have had little or no impact in reducing the availability of pornography distributed via the internet. This thesis argues that a civil rights/equal opportunity approach to pornographic harm, as proposed by the anti-pornography civil rights ordinance drafted by American feminists Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin (the ordinance), should be adopted into Australian law. The ordinance will be examined with a particular focus on how it can be amended and incorporated into Australian equal opportunity legislation in order to more effectively regulate the distribution of pornography via the internet in a manner that addresses the harms to social inequality caused by pornography.

Résumé :

Rape and sexual assaults are a huge epidemic not only in the United States, but in the world as well. Victims come across all races, ethnicities, ages, religions, classes and cultures. With so many victims, people often investigate what causes people to commit these crimes in order to decrease the likelihood of future incidents occurring. Pornography is often argued for being a possible cause of sexual assaults. While many sex offenders do have large collections of pornography, there has not been any concrete evidence to support that pornography causes people to rape. Acceptance of rape myths also could play a large role in how people perceive the victims of sexual assaults causing them even more trauma as well as them being less likely to report the crime. With over 2000,000 cases of sexual assault reported each year, it is important to attempt to find any possible causes. The intent of this thesis is to explore any possible associations with attitudes on pornography and perceptions of rape myths. Through my analysis, the participants were asked about their attitudes of pornography and details on if they chose to view pornography or not compared with their perceptions of rape myths.

Résumé :

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.

Chaparro, Martinez A. « Dignity in feminist political theory : rape, prostitution, and pornography ». Thesis, University of Essex, 2014. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.654721.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

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.

Résumé :

This investigation seeks to evaluate the impact on individuals, and society, of Self-Generated Images (SGI’s) in online pornography. It presents an inquiry into the extent, and modes, of SGI use among a large sample of adult internet users. This form the initial platform for a theoretical analysis of the rapidly emerging topic, alongside an empirical investigation into how SGI’s are used, and criminally abused. A mixed research method strategy was consequently adopted, employing a quantitative anonymous online survey (Stage 1), qualitative face-to-face interviews with serving Metropolitan Police Service officers in the SOECA unit (Stage 2), and qualitative Skype interviews with active SGI users (Stage 3). The thesis is divided into three main sections. Firstly, in chapters one-to-four, the context for this study into SGI’s is explained, including the specific UK statute laws regarding licit and illicit pornographic images. Commonly used pornographic terminologies are defined. Furthermore, existent research on the topic of SGI’s/online pornography is scrutinized, and several theoretical issues are given a discourse in relation to SGI’s. An analysis of the free speech/online pornography debate is included, together with an examination of the criminal abuse of SGI’s. The second part, chapter five, provides a rationale for the adoption of a mixed research methods strategy in pursuing the aims of this study. Many methodological issues regarding the three stages of the primary fieldwork are addressed; these include: ontology, epistemology, research paradigms and axiology, ethical underpinnings, practical considerations, and the strengths and limitations of methods chosen. In the third section, chapters six-to-eight, the study’s key findings include a taxonomy of the six main types of SGI. Passive SGI viewing is very pervasive, particularly among the key demographic groups of younger adults, Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) and males, and may be becoming the norm. Free PornTube websites are predominately used; but also, increasingly, social network sites (SNS’s) and messaging/image sharing apps. Most adults use SGI’s safely for sexual stimulation; however, some use them for educational and humorous purposes. For a minority of active creators of SGI’s, disastrous personal consequences can result because of subsequent criminal abuse, including cyber-bullying/trolling, sextortion, etc. Gay and bisexual men have highly accelerated rates of SGI use on hooking-up sites, often leading to hazardous risk taking. Children face grave dangers from making and sharing sexualised SGI’s as online child sexual abuse (CSA), grooming and sextortion, etc. may transpire. In the UK’s schools, Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE), and Sex and Relationships Education (SRE), are in a parlous state regarding the issues and dangers of SGI’s. Finally, this inquiry provides some original insights into the areas of applying and generating theories, using mixed research methods, and the empirical findings uncovered.

Résumé :

The purpose of this study was to examine how the intersection of gender scripts, gender identity, and sexual orientation impact perceived narratives and power hierarchies in sexual relationships. To drive participants to verbalize their underlying views about sexual scripts, two highly sexualized and controversial sexual cultures will be examined: casual sex and pornography. Feminist academics and advocates have long argued for a restructuring of sexual politics by implementing feminist principles into personal relations and public life (Connell, 1997). Therefore, competing feminist ideologies will also be assessed to gauge the campus’s feminist climate regarding self-identified feminists’ views on the exploitation and/or the empowerment of women within pornography. Findings from this study indicated that respondents view women’s participation in hookups or pornographic situations similar to how they viewed men’s participation. However, internalized homophobic messages were discovered, particularly from male respondents. The findings also suggest that feminists in this sample were generally accepting of pornography, but that feminism did not play a key role in shaping respondents beliefs.

Résumé :

This dissertation interrogates the place of pornography within British culture between 1900 and 1939. While numerous scholars have studied British pornography using literary analysis and various cultural history approaches, this has not been accompanied by significant attention to the social dynamics of those involved in producing, consuming, and regulating pornographic materials. By dedicating equal attention to the products and operations of the pornography trade itself and to the surrounding hegemonic forces of state, press, and civil society, this research challenges widespread assumptions regarding the relationship between pornography and mainstream sexual culture. Specifically, this project argues that the pre-1939 pornography trade can best be understood as a queer sexual subculture. Moreover, this subculture operated as a node within a far larger and more complex transnational network rather than as an isolated national or local entity. Pornographic content reflected these conditions of production and consumption, offering subversive alternatives to heteronormative hegemonic practices such as mandatory heterosexuality, monogamy, and binary gender roles. Numerous social trends and competing discourses worked to create cultural spaces in which the subculture operated. The British state, civil anti-vice organizations, and the press all formally opposed the pornography trade yet limited their efforts against it due to competing priorities such as opposition to censorship and the desire to frame pornography as a strictly foreign social issue. This carefully historicized case study of a specific culture of pornography offers a counterpoint to contemporary treatments of pornography as an ahistorical and monolithic cultural production. By placing the pre-1939 British pornography trade in its specific imperial and transnational context, this dissertation shows that pornography can only be studied through close attention to its conditions of production, consumption, and regulation.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This thesis examines 'pharmacopornographic' subjectivity in the work of contemporary Spanish philosopher, Paul B. Preciado, and represents the first extended study of his work. In Preciado's writing, 'pharmacopornographic' describes the entwined influence and dominance of the pharmaceutical and pornographic industries, and the thesis analyses how they produce 'pharmacopornographic' subjects. This thesis explores Preciado's writing on gender, sexuality, pornography, drugs and power between 2002 and 2014 and articulates an emergent trans-feminism. This research analyses how pharmacological and pornographic industries affect the design and production of genders and subjectivities. The thesis further refines Preciado's assertion that contemporary, 'pharmacopornographic' regimes of power produce subjects rather than objects, or people, rather than things. Ultimately, this research is concerned with understanding the production of pharmacologically-determined subjectivity. The thesis articulates various subject positions, as a means of theorising pharmacopornographic subjectivity: 'The Voyeur', 'The Sex Worker', 'The Biodrag King' and 'The Junkie'. These subject-position chapters are prefaced with a chapter exploring theoretical frameworks used to analyse Preciado's work, and the thesis concludes with a chapter on accelerationism and the microprosthetic scale of Testo Junkie.
