Pornography in Hungary: ambiguity of the female image in a time of change

Article Abstract:

The Hungarian government's incentives to women to bear children and their access to pornography show the ambiguous definition of the female body as both a domestic and an erotic object. State legislations regarding reproduction and abortion define the female body as an instrument for political use, and pornographic images define it as a commodity for consumption. In either case, the female body is denied the right to self-determination. This ambiguous definition of the female body can be attributed to the emergence of consumerism and democracy in Hungary.

Fatal/fetal attraction: psychological aspects of imagining female identity in contemporary film

Article Abstract:

Women in contemporary film are not allowed to simultaneously acknowledge their femininity and have a definite identity. Several films released in the late 1980s that present traditional ideas of the home and family unit in an appealing light are popular with women because of pre-existent social influences on female consciousness. Film, as a medium, is capable of transforming individual and social attitudes in periods of changing role definitions.
