Om kärlek och sexualitet

En triptyk

Abstract

This text strives to express the many-facetted and irreducible aspects in sexuality and love. The first part is a meditation over the nature of sexuality; the second part, »Images of Love», depicts an individual experience. Part III, »The Discourse of Power over Sexuality» discusses Freud's theory of female sexuality. Freud's »phallic monism» is interpreted as an intellectual act of violence directed towards female sexual organs. The violent dimension of Freudian theory is evident when related to the mentality conveyed by pornography, prostitution, rape and other acts of violence against women.
