Pornography, a narrativa of sexual violence against the women
Abstract
Pornography is a global social reality that permeates contemporary culture. It is a language and a narrative that produces images and representations. And in all of them, women are hypersexualized, thus setting in motion intense processes of commodification of their bodies. Men are represented as active beings with the right to satisfy their sexual desires. They are shown as subjects and women as objects. The pornographic imaginary is in reality a libertine imaginary in which men can access women's bodies without conditions, without prohibitions, without limits. Porn is the most resistant symbolic core of the misogynist imaginary, and at the same time it makes it possible to draw the map of sexual violence.
