Document Summary
Chapter 7. 5 - 8 psychoanalytic analysis (continued) and feminist analysis. Voyeurism: pleasure in watching a desired object or person from a distance. Fetishism: the psychic structuring of an object or part of a person as a source of sexual pleasure. Desire: an appetite for something that promises enjoyment, satisfaction and pleasure in its attainment: the act of desire creates fantasy. Fantasy: a mental representation of conscious or unconscious wish fulfillment; media artefacts are an expression of fantasy presented as reality. It is a mental structure that contains the manifestation and achievement of desire. Deferral: the prolonging of lack: pleasure comes not from getting what we want, but from the pursuit in what we want.
