En el presente artículo se aborda la denuncia de la autora sobre la deshumanización de la mujer en la pornografía como producto del poder del hombre dentro de la cultura patriarcal occidental. Paralelamente, se ofrece un correlato de la propuesta de Dworkin con los mecanismos psicológicos de desconexión moral propuestos por Albert Bandura. Finalmente, y como producto de la metodología  escrita, se discute la obra de Dworkin, su análisis de la hostilidad hacia la mujer, los eventuales mecanismos psicológicos subyacentes a la producción y consumo de pornografía, y el rol de cierto tipo de cultura que perpetuaría estas dinámicas.Universidad de Costa Rica 2018-06-27info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/3367410.15517/h.v8i2.33674Revista humanidades; Vol. 8 No. 2 (2018): July-December; 1-34Revista humanidades; Vol. 8 Núm. 2 (2018): Julio-Diciembre; 1-34Revista humanidades; v. 8 n. 2 (2018): Julio-Diciembre; 1-342215-3934reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/33674/33224https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/article/view/33674/33669Derechos de autor 2018 Revista humanidadesacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-06-14T02:54:48Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/33674Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:37:27.111Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
