This paper will explore the connection between pornography, torture, and hagiography and investigate the ambiguity of this 'painful pleasure', which, despite any assumptions, is not only enjoyed by the male torturer when cutting off these symbolically significant body parts, but recurrently so it seems also by the saint herself, who more than once cheerfully exclaims that 'the pains are my delight' (St Agatha).Nas narrativas hagiográficas femininas, insinuações provocantes, pornográficas e sádicas podem ser detectadas, dando conotação sexual às partes do corpo torturadas, como a língua, dentes e mamas e assim contribuindo para o desenvolvimento (negativo) de fantasias eróticas. O documento irá explorar a conexão entre a pornografia, a tortura e a hagiografia e investigar a ambiguidade deste 'prazer doloroso', que apesar de todas as suposições, o ato de ferir essas partes simbólicas do corpo não é apenas apreciado pelo torturador masculino, como demonstram as citações recorrentes da própria santa: 'as dores são meus deleites' (St Agatha). 22014-01-0120142014-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/119456reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest material està protegit per drets d'autor i/o drets afins.
