- Description
- This article examines novels by Alix Kates Shulman, Marge Piercy and Erica Jong. These novels published in the early seventies were inspired by existentialism and Beauvoir, but reached mass audiences because they were also novels of the (hetero)sexual revolution. These texts carved out a radical terrain of subjectivity for women as they fought individually and collectively to reject a medicalised vocabulary and to discover their own sexual language

- This analysis gauges gender difference in time spent reading romance novels and sexuality. Respondents were 770 white American college students, including 436 females and 334 males, age 17–49. Males are viewed as a reference group. Drawing upon the 'plastic sexuality' thesis and feminist theory, this study hypothesizes that female readers of romance novels have higher levels of interest in sexuality (at least in the attitudes) than male readers, and non-readers but such a sexual interest is not necessarily converted into a more active sexual behavior. Most romance novels promote deeply constraining patriarchal values, reading romance novels plays a role in shaping the meaning of the self, sexual identity and attitudes and behavior relative to this patriarchy. The results indicate that due to a higher degree of plastic sexuality, female readers of romance novels self-reported greater sex drive, and greater number or orgasms required for sexual satisfaction than male readers and female non-readers. However, female readers had fewer sex partners, and were older when they first thought about sex and had their first sexual intercourse. This pattern fits the Harlequin romance characterization: female readers nourish a fulfilling sex life in the context of idealistic monogamous faithfulness, while at the same time vividly satisfying desires and sexual fantasy through fabricated characters.

- Description
- 'What author wants to work towards in this thesis is a problematization of a kind of relating in terms of recognition and categorization in order to work towards a different mode of relating to what is new and other: a relating that is no longer appropriating or fixing of what it relates to but a relating is characterized by an ‘openness’ towards what is different. The turn to the notion of the unimaginable is a means by which she tries to envision the kind of relating to the new and the other. What is unimaginable cannot be appropriated in familiar terms: the unimaginable can not be explained or described. As soon as we do, it turns into what is imaginable. This is what inspires the different relating towards the new that is proposed in this thesis. In order to provoke a more open and generous approach towards difference, the main question this thesis concentrates on is how to envision a different relating towards the new by means of an ethics of the unimaginable.'
