- Abstract
- The paper explores how Victor Burgin reacts in his artistic work to the 1970s debate about pleasure and the representation of woman, evolving from a position of putting visual pleasure “under erasure” by frustrating the male spectator’s pleasure of looking at a female body to the question of “how to offer pleasures – of how to gratify the desire for pleasure – without perpetuating and reinforcing oppressive social relations.”
