This paper aims at examining Angela Carter’s The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman as transgressive writing which attempts to change the power relations between men and women by rewriting pornography. The text, Carter’s first moral pornography, demonstrates the potential of the antithetical bad woman while revealing the stereotypes of femininity—the daughters, wives, mothers and prostitutes—as cultural artifices through the Sadeian male’s view. In the text, Desiderio, the first person narrator, describes that all women are obedient to men such as their father, husband and tribal chief, and are considered as being ‘born to suffer.’ It’s not only physical violence against women but mental as well that shows the perpetuation of patriarchy depending on the exchange and domination of women. In The Sadeian Woman, Carter puts the possibility of redeploying current power relations by exploiting the pornography because of the representation of sexual encounters it depicts disclosing the nature of social relations. Carter exploits the parody of women’s disguises in ordinary sexual relationships like the marital bed in the text, and they are gradually ousted as transgressive women: Albertina, the object of Desiderio’s desire by continuingly disguising herself and attempting to kill him, Aoi skillfully arousing Desiderio’s desire to conceal her intent to murder him, and Mama actively leading him into an incestial relationship. All three foreshadow the Sadeian woman as the paradigm of Carter’s new woman in that they seek the forbidden pleasure and exploit feminine sexuality for their own purposes.
Abstract
This paper aims at examining Angela Carter’s The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman as transgressive writing which attempts to change the power relations between men and women by rewriting pornography. The text, Carter’s first moral pornography, demonstrates the potential of the antithetical bad woman while revealing the stereotypes of femininity—the daughters, wives, mothers and prostitutes—as cultural artifices through the Sadeian male’s view. In the text, Desiderio, the first person narrator, describes that all women are obedient to men such as their father, husband and tribal chief, and are considered as being ‘born to suffer.’ It’s not only physical violence against women but mental as well that shows the perpetuation of patriarchy depending on the exchange and domination of women. In The Sadeian Woman, Carter puts the possibility of redeploying current power relations by exploiting the pornography because of the representation of sexual encounters it depicts disclosing the nature of social relations. Carter exploits the parody of women’s disguises in ordinary sexual relationships like the marital bed in the text, and they are gradually ousted as transgressive women: Albertina, the object of Desiderio’s desire by continuingly disguising herself and attempting to kill him, Aoi skillfully arousing Desiderio’s desire to conceal her intent to murder him, and Mama actively leading him into an incestial relationship. All three foreshadow the Sadeian woman as the paradigm of Carter’s new woman in that they seek the forbidden pleasure and exploit feminine sexuality for their own purposes.
