TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Sado-masochism and feminist desire: The other measure of true love bleeds JO - Theory and psychology A1 - Morgan, Mandy SP - 517 EP - 531 VL - 21 IS - 4 N2 - This paper engages the notion of parallax: the moment of irreconcilable difference, the gap, the tension, in the presentation of things seen from different perspectives. In this case the particular "thing seen" from different perspectives is something like a subject position in which women's desire is inscribed as sado-masochistic--both in popular accounts of intimate violence and in more academic accounts of feminist textual resistances within the discourse of victimization. In the process, two stories involving encounters with sado-masochism and feminist desire dialogue with other texts to create problematics within the irreconcilable subject positions they produce when a feminist woman narrates.
