This paper aims to read Angela Carter's The Magic Toyshop and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tales as texts performing pornography, which reveal the politics of pornographic performances of subordinated but resistant woman characters. Cater's and Atwood's texts share the performative power of pornographic representations which not only reflect the societal logic but challenge it. While Philip‘s 'Grand Performance' in Toyshop and Gilead‘s rituals named 'Ceremony' in Tales repeat the stereotypes of pornography, objectifying and fragmenting women's body and sexuality, Margaret in Magic Toyshop and Offred in The Handmaid's Tales explicitly disclose the women suppression in patriarchy by (un)consciously performing a docile wife and a passive surrogate mother respectively. Carter's and Atwood's performing pornography texts suggest that pornographic representation in literature adversely can display and defy the male-dominated power which frames women into puppets in their sexual and political scenarios.
Abstract
This paper aims to read Angela Carter's The Magic Toyshop and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tales as texts performing pornography, which reveal the politics of pornographic performances of subordinated but resistant woman characters. Cater's and Atwood's texts share the performative power of pornographic representations which not only reflect the societal logic but challenge it. While Philip‘s 'Grand Performance' in Toyshop and Gilead‘s rituals named 'Ceremony' in Tales repeat the stereotypes of pornography, objectifying and fragmenting women's body and sexuality, Margaret in Magic Toyshop and Offred in The Handmaid's Tales explicitly disclose the women suppression in patriarchy by (un)consciously performing a docile wife and a passive surrogate mother respectively. Carter's and Atwood's performing pornography texts suggest that pornographic representation in literature adversely can display and defy the male-dominated power which frames women into puppets in their sexual and political scenarios.
