Resumo: The article discusses the work of feminist legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon and, in particular, her radical rejection of the liberal notion of “consent”. For the author, sexuality is an expression of male dominance; indeed, it reveals itself as “eroticization of domination”. In such society, there is no possibility of autonomous agency for women. We must undo the work of the internalization of dominant values, so that a genuine feminine consciousness can emerge. This is the backdrop of her controversial views on rape, pornography, prostitution or abortion. The article concludes that, while illuminating important aspects of domination, she simplifies in excess the discussion of autonomy in social agency.

Para a autora, a sexualidade é a expressão da dominação masculina; de fato, ela se revela como “erotização da dominação”. Numa sociedade assim organizada, não há possibilidade de agência autônoma para mulheres. É necessário desfazer o trabalho de introjeção dos valores dominantes, para que uma consciência feminina genuína possa emergir. Este é o pano de fundo das polêmicas posições de MacKinnon sobre estupro, pornografia e prostituição. O artigo conclui que, embora ilumine aspectos importantes da dominação, ela simplifica em excesso a discussão sobre a autonomia na agência social.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2022-08-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/11646310.1590/18070337-116463SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 No. 60 (2022): Dossier: Covid-19 and SocietySOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 24 Núm. 60 (2022): Dossier: Covid-19 y SociedadSociologias; v. 24 n. 60 (2022): Dossiê: Covid-19 e Sociedade1807-03371517-4522reponame:Sociologias (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/116463/85986Copyright (c) 2022 Luis Felipe Miguelhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMiguel, Luis Felipe2022-08-29T18:06:53Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/116463Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologiasPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologias/oai||revsoc@ufrgs.br1807-03371517-4522opendoar:2022-08-29T18:06:53Sociologias (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
