The Culture of Cosmetic Surgery - part 2

Nói cách khác, trong giây lát mượn uy tín của mình, chấp thuận của tôi đi một chặng đường dài hướng tới củng cố lòng tự trọng của bác sĩ phẫu thuật. Như Susan lam Đỏ đặt nó trong "Đọc Body Nam," những gì nữ quyền thường miễn nhiệm như sự khách quan của nam giới phụ nữ | 2 6 The Patient s Body other words momentarily borrowed their prestige my approval goes a long way toward shoring up the surgeon s self-esteem. As Susan Bordo puts it in Reading the Male Body what feminists commonly dismiss as the male objectification of women in pornography may not be desubjectifying at all. Quite the contrary for the fantasy to thrive the woman must be a subject who accepts the male body and its performances on any terms The attempt is to depict a circumscribed female subjectivity that will validate the male body and male desire in ways that real women do not. The category of objectification came naturally to feminism because of the continual cultural fetishization of women s bodies and body parts. But here it is perhaps the case that our analysis suffered from mind body dualism. For the fact that women s bodies are fet-ishized does not entail that what is going on in their minds is therefore unimplicated or unimportant. Rather an essential ingredient in porn . . . is the depiction of a subjectivity or personality that willingly contracts its possibilities and pleasures to one the acceptance and gratification of the male. 276 Bordo s analysis of a male construction of female subjectivity coincides with what I experienced at the hands of the surgeons. It is not that they are just objectifying my body and those of their patients as so much meat for their transformational miracles. There also needs to be an appreciative subject of the surgery who can afterward look in the mirror and recognize the surgeon s skill. While surgeons may be objectifying the body they depend on the living subject who can evaluate outcome insist upon a revision go to another surgeon where both patient and surgeon will pool their scorn for the lesser surgeon then praise the greater surgeon to all her friends and family as a miracle worker. THE SURGICAL TOUCH I try to walk in prepared if they re published authors I take out a photocopy of at least one article they have .
