The body [...] has ruffled the edges of a bloodless rationalist discourse, and is currently en route to becoming the greatest fetish of all.Terry Eagleton. The Illusions of Postmodernism
(not quite en route though...)
(not quite en route though...)
The human body was entering a machinery of power that explores it, breaks it down and rearranges it. [...]discipline produces subjected and practiced bodies, 'docile' bodies.
Michel Foucault. Discipline and Punish
In contemporary patriarchal culture, a panoptical male connoiseur resides within the consciousness of most women: they stand perpetually before his gaze and under his judgement. Woman lives her body as seen by another, by an anonymous, patriarchal Other.

The fetish for Freud is that which plugs an intolerable gap; and there is a case for claiming that sexuality has now become the most fashionable fetish of all. I think that says it all...
By the way, it is Terry Eagleton again speaking.
I wish to live in world that doesn’t look at my body as a sexual instrument but as an organism with skin, hair and nails. I wish we could all walk naked next to each other and forget our vulnerability. Maybe this would free our minds more than anything else, talked about or tried.
I am still dreaming... but I prefer it that way.
While observing the gaze of a lusty stranger I say to myself: "maman? pourquoi je suis pas un garcon?"
It is dream within a dream...
