Catharine MacKinnon, Corporeality, Feminisms, Humanity, ViolenceAbstract
Catharine MacKinnon's feminist theories of the 1990s on the issue of the body broaden discussions about the process of materializing meanings and submitting women to power. MacKinnon, especially on Are Women Human? proposes to expand the protection of women against violence, aiming to achieve genocide connotations in rape trials in times of war, due to their ethical-political impact. The pornography scene is also deeply criticized by her, as the verticality of an explicit violence that should be combated. When questioning the scope of her theory at the historical moment of its production, it appears that her concerns reach the present day in new axiological guidelines, but still as a challenge and a theoretical necessity in feminist topics today.
