Perverse pleasures: Spectatorship- The blair witch project

Hayter, Tamiko Southcott 16 November 2006 (has links)
Student Number : 9803476V - MA research report - School of Arts - Faculty of Humanities / By drawing on contemporary scholarship that addresses spectatorship in the cinema generally, and in the horror genre specifically, I analyze the perverse pleasure afforded by The Blair Witch Project. To do this I argue that pleasure in horror is afforded through the masochistic positioning of the viewer, especially in relation to psychoanalytic theories surrounding gender in spectator positioning. I also look at the way the film re-deploys conventions, both documentary conceptions of the ‘real’, as well as generic expectations of horror, to activate the perverse pleasure of horror.

Kvinnor i smärtsamma kärleksrelationer : tre kvinnor om dragningen till emotionellt otillgängliga män

Udenius, Susanne January 2006 (has links)
<p>Studien uppmärksammar kvinnor som attraheras av män som är emotionellt otillgängliga på grund av exempelvis missbruk, antisocialt beteende och psykisk ohälsa. Studiens syfte var att belysa vissa psykologiska dimensioner som kunde förklara tre kvinnors benägenhet att välja emotionellt otillgängliga män till kärlekspartners samt få ökad kunskap om kvinnor som ingår i smärtsamma kärleksrelationer. Studiens frågeställning fokuserade på hur kvinnornas partnerval kunde förstås mot bakgrund av deras nära relationer under uppväxtåren. Studien utformades enligt kvalitativ design där tre kvinnor med erfarenhet av smärtsamma kärleksrelationer intervjuades utifrån ett syftesbestämt urval. Intervjumaterialet kategoriserades i huvudtemana uppväxtårens nära relationer, valet av kärlekspartner och relationen med otillgängliga män. Resultaten redovisades som citat och analyserades ur ett psykodynamiskt objektrelations¬teoretiskt perspektiv. Resultaten indikerade att kvinnornas tidiga separations- och individuations¬¬process kan ha störts och fixerats i en olöst närmandekris och ett symbiosberoende till yttre objekt. Ytterligare framkom att otillgängliga män kan passa in i kvinnornas kvarstående behov av att träna närmandekrisens närhets- och distansövningar med. Slutligen pekade kvinnornas partnerval på att de genom dem upprepar och återskapar barndomens relationsbetingelser, liknande den egna tidiga relationen till föräldrarna och ibland även föräldrarnas relation till varandra och andra kärlekspartners.</p>

För sakens skull : Det omöjliga mötet i Rut Hillarps roman Sindhia - en lacansk läsning

Arbelius, Karin January 2006 (has links)
<p>This essay examines the love affair between the two main characters of Rut Hillarp’s novel Sindhia. It draws attention to the schism between the Surrealist version of love as an extatic-religious fusion of the sexes – that in a way marks the relationship – and the yet remarkable coolness between the two lovers.</p><p>With the theories of French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, I will show how the man and the woman project their unrealistic individual fantasies on each other, thus rendering impossible the Surrealist Meeting, with its road to an absolute reality. The Surrealist "l’amour fou", I will argue, is trapped in the ritualized "l’amor interruptus"; a lacanian term for a certain kind of love that wishes to conceal the fact that desire will never find its object. It does so by pretending that the object would be found if only love had been consummated (thus the reason love is never consummated, since, as Lacan puts it, the object, or the Thing, is never to be found).</p><p>I will, in brief, argue that the love affair depicted in the novel in different ways tries to deal with the “lack-of-being” that marks the subject according to Lacan; the absolute distance to the desirable Thing.</p>

James Deen: The Feminist Enigma

Ulrich, Taylor Jade 01 January 2014 (has links)
James Deen and his distinct following of fans has allowed for a discussion of what pornography means to women and teenage girls to be teased out. His fans are vocal, public and unashamed in their fascination with him, dismissing previously held ideologies that porn be a clearly private activity that is shameful to be addressed publicly; especially for women. James Deen’s uniquely unintimidating demeanor, both physically and personally, has made him more forgivable for his mistakes (i.e. rape “joke” Tweets), evidence of an intense desire for women to find porn that they can relate to and positively consume. Despite his shortcomings, James Deen is immensely popular among women and because of this, brings to light my critique of the limited definition of feminist pornography as it stands today in academia. James Deen works against the grain of the porn industry, representing a new type of porn star that lends women their own gaze and further access to genuine pleasure intended for them. When James Deen breaks the common subject-object barrier of mainstream porn by pleasuring women on-screen, he disrupts the visual coding that holds the patriarchal gaze together at its seams, and works to produce female pleasure as a sexual truth. Not only that, but his consciousness around consent further allows women to be able to identify sexual pleasure with roles of submission. This construction of power-knowledge-pleasure to include women, and enthusiastic consent, aligns him with feminist porn aims to primarily focus on women, sexual openness and not shame, and sex positivity and not negativity. Moving beyond the foci of James Deen’s films and his personality, the theory of disidentification is integral to understanding some women’s relationship with him, and how even the more complicated aspects of porn should be considered for inclusion within the definition of feminist porn. To ignore this survival tactic is to silence women’s participation in an already exclusionary industry. To include disidentificatory practices in feminist porn is to take into account the convoluted, nonlinear and illogical ways women and teenage girls are consuming porn. When the definition is opened up to include all porn that “works on and against dominant ideology” (as James Deen’s does), experienced anxieties due to inconsistencies between one’s erotics and politics can be relieved, fantasy is further understood as a real and validated sexual tool, and masochism’s role in porn is logically brought into this dialogue. When fantasy is accepted as a complex and mysterious phenomenon, disenfranchised demographics such as women are given license. Masochism is no longer limited to an absent and repressed tendency that places women in a punished state. James Deen’s masochistic aesthetic threatens patriarchal dogma and offers up something new to the world of pornography. While James Deen does not profess to be a feminist, his porn practices and personality set him apart from the majority of the mainstream porn world and within the feminist porn sphere. In the end, the good that he is doing in providing women and teenage girls an option in an otherwise barren landscape of phallocentric porn should be enough to earn him academic scholarship and inclusion in the realm of feminist pornography.

Corpo docente - corpo doente: porque padece o corpo? / Sick body: why does the body suffer?

Bárbara Andreza Moreira de Alcantara 20 August 2009 (has links)
Este trabalho apresenta os resultados da pesquisa Corpo Docente Corpo Doente: Por Que Padece o Corpo? O principal objetivo era investigar a possibilidade de o Mal-Estar Docente constituir a profissão do magistério, assim como o mal-estar caracteriza e constitui o progresso da humanidade, Freud (1998). A questão central da pesquisa era descobrir se assim como o Mal-Estar na Civilização, o Mal-Estar Docente também derivaria de situações presentes na configuração atual do magistério. Portanto, discorre sobre algumas formas de mal-estar que marcaram o desenvolvimento da civilização, agrupadas em cinco modalidades. O trabalho adota o estudo de cunho reflexivo e almeja contribuir com o debate teórico para uma abordagem alternativa do Mal-Estar Docente. Agrega aos estudos as reflexões provenientes das entrevistas realizadas com médicos que atuam na Coordenadoria de Valorização do Servidor, da Prefeitura Municipal do Rio de Janeiro. Destaca-se o posicionamento da pesquisa em relação ao Mal-Estar Docente pelo viés da subjetividade do professor. O trabalho considera importantes as pesquisas que apresentam o mal-estar do ponto de vista social, mas discorda da ênfase dada exclusivamente aos fatores sociais. Freud (1998), Zaragoza (1999), Codo & Menezes (2000), Adorno (2003), Rouanet (2003) e Birman (2007) foram os referenciais teóricos utilizados. A partir do diálogo entre os autores e da análise das entrevistas, constatou-se que algumas situações presentes na configuração do magistério realmente contribuem para o problema do Mal-Estar Docente. A pesquisa revelou, ainda, o imperativo de novas investigações sobre a situação dos professores que buscaram estratégias de saúde para não cair no adoecimento, para inquirir os impactos do silenciamento da sexualidade docente sobre a prática do professor e para averiguar como a sublimação pode ser desenvolvida no espaço escolar.

Glauco Mattoso: escrita e transgressão / Glauco Mattoso: writing and transgression

Rafaella Lemos dos Reis Sousa 25 March 2010 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / O trabalho consiste em um exame da produção poética de Glauco Mattoso, tendo como horizonte a noção de transgressão e utilizando como corpus sua produção de sonetos e o Jornal Dobrabil. Com uma produção iniciada na década de 1970, o autor é um dos escritores mais prolíficos do cenário literário brasileiro contemporâneo, levantando questões referentes à perversão formal, à crítica do poder autoritário e à criação ficcional da persona autoral por meio da escrita de si. Acreditamos que, por sua técnica apurada e sua vasta produção, trata-se de um autor que merece um estudo acadêmico aprofundado, buscando o diálogo entre seus temas e as questões culturais que se apresentam ao pensamento contemporâneo / The work consists of an exam of Glauco Mattosos literary production, based on the idea of transgression and analyzing the authors sonnet production and Jornal Dobrabil. His production started in the 70s and, since them, Glauco has proved to be one of the most prolific writers in contemporary Brazilian literary scenario, raising issues that relate to formal perversion, power critiquing and fictional self construction. We believe that, due to his technique and wide production, Glauco deserves some deep academic study, creating a dialogue between his themes and cultural questions that are presented to contemporary thought
