Del control de los cuerpos a los cuerpos ¿sin control?

Eros femenino y las trampas de la liberación...

Abstract

This work aims to reflect on the configuration of the male and female archetypes, which began to outline a list of characteristics and values marked with the sign of good or evil. The opposition between Nature and Culture led to the legitimation of the attributes of the masculine archetype over the feminine one, prescribing a relation of dominion over Nature/feminine/Woman. Patriarchy versus Matriarchy: archetypal phases that contributed to the configuration of radically different if not opposed cultural imaginaries. This archetypal transition corresponds to the transition from the myth of nature to the myth of Reason, dominated by the masculine and its symbols. Women are denied access to knowledge and above all self-knowledge in a repressive attempt to preserve her from erotic events or social adventures. However, The sexual revolution that has been going on for more than fifty years seems to have run its course because sexual liberation without emotional involvement has turned out to be more convenient for men, but it does not correspond to the most intimate aspirations of women. At present, eroticism, exhibitionism, the cult of the body converted into consumer values are nothing more than substitute satisfactions, useful to the system. We would therefore be facing a new phase of alienation denounced by Marx and Simmel that affects the woman again, because in the end the female body remains “a body for others”.
