I'd have an easier time accepting the repeated claim that the pornographic mind is the genocidal mind if I knew exactly what she meant by "pornographic mind," other than the tautology that it's the one that wants to kill all that is different in others and all that it fears and denies in itself.

Random incoherent thought that I'm going to try to get down. There's an idea that the pornographic mind is the genocidal mind to the extent to which it kind of kills its subjects by objectifying them--the ultimate objectification is death, right? Corpsification? However, more and more I've been thinking about pornography in kind of Gilligan terms, by which I mean--what if the key to the pornographic mind isn't so much objectification as repetition? --ie. the games playing mind, the mind that will do anything (as women often do) rather than have the game END. Now, okay, the opposite of this argument is that pornography is entirely end driven--gimme my orgasm and let me get out of here, and yeah, that's true, but it seems to me that the overall experience of pornography is repetitious and that in fact, that's one of the slams against IT rather than "original" works (just as it's one of the slams against fanfiction or genre.)

(Vis a vis metablog, by the way, which cathyxs suggested above--I fucking hate metablog for theoretical talk, but maybe that's just me. )
