pornography, cultural studies, feminist studies, content analysisAbstract
This article aims to analyze, based on cultural and feminist studies frameworks, the narratives, identities, and perceptive operators that are put into play and become hegemonic in online pornographic representations. Fourteen content analysis studies of pornographic material were analyzed, and the conclusion was reached that there is a system of representation entitled voluptas-violentiam, marked by the construction of gendered identities that are distinguished by the ability or inability to aggress and to enjoy.
