This essay reexamines ‘the domestication of pornography’ through E. L. James’s sensational Fifty Shades of Grey Series, so-called the ‘mommy porno.’ With explicit descriptions of the heroine’s kinky sexual pleasure, the series represents a literary development of Jane Juffer’s ‘domesticated pornography,’ which highlighted the reconciliation of woman’s everyday life and erotic texts in the 1980’s and 1990’s. As a feminized pornography adopting BDSM practices, the series apparently explores female sexual self-determination by articulating complex, pleasure-oriented desires which challenge the hetero-normative sexuality. However, while emphasizing Anastasia Steel’s sexual autonomy, the series still reveals a dominant/male-centered power-relation; Christian Grey tries to govern Anastasia’s everyday life in the name of “submissive consent.” Furthermore, replacing the couple’s sexual arrangement with a legally binding contract, ‘marriage,’ in the controversial ending, the series not only reinforces women’s subordinate/submissive position within the family, but implies the normalization of non-normative sexuality. After all, seemingly celebrating woman’s enjoyment of pornography, the series repeats one of the Harlequin/Cinderella clichés, which re-domesticates woman’s sexuality into patriarchal gender relations.
Abstract
This essay reexamines ‘the domestication of pornography’ through E. L. James’s sensational Fifty Shades of Grey Series, so-called the ‘mommy porno.’ With explicit descriptions of the heroine’s kinky sexual pleasure, the series represents a literary development of Jane Juffer’s ‘domesticated pornography,’ which highlighted the reconciliation of woman’s everyday life and erotic texts in the 1980’s and 1990’s. As a feminized pornography adopting BDSM practices, the series apparently explores female sexual self-determination by articulating complex, pleasure-oriented desires which challenge the hetero-normative sexuality. However, while emphasizing Anastasia Steel’s sexual autonomy, the series still reveals a dominant/male-centered power-relation; Christian Grey tries to govern Anastasia’s everyday life in the name of “submissive consent.” Furthermore, replacing the couple’s sexual arrangement with a legally binding contract, ‘marriage,’ in the controversial ending, the series not only reinforces women’s subordinate/submissive position within the family, but implies the normalization of non-normative sexuality. After all, seemingly celebrating woman’s enjoyment of pornography, the series repeats one of the Harlequin/Cinderella clichés, which re-domesticates woman’s sexuality into patriarchal gender relations.
