Abstract

<p class="Abstract">Women with hijab
 often generate a controversy<span lang="IN">. </span>Hijabed
 women in a sexy selfie are one example of it. The
 action of selfie photo becomes a new trend in line with the popularity of
 visual-based social media like Instagram. Taking and uploading selfie photos on
 Instagram seems to be indispensable for some people, including hijabed women.
 This paper is aimed to examine photos of sexy selfie of hijabed women uploaded
 in Instagram account @jilbabootd. The purpose
 of this paper is to reveal the practice of
 objectification of a women’s
 bodies by analyzing the comments raised by followers of account
 @jilbabootd. This study is framed by
 Lacan's psychoanalytic theory of desire, lack, and pleasure. The @jilbabootd
 account is intentionally created for the purpose of the self-certified sexy
 self-certified photo shoot. Women who become an admin in the @jilbabootd
 account reproduce the discourse of male gaze. Women who become followers in
 this account also perpetuate the male domination of women by giving comments
 that the language is very male (manly). The hijabed
 women who send sexy selfie photos are "willingly" expose their bodies
 to become <span lang="PT">object</span>s of male fantasy,
 gaze, and pleasure. They get
 their own pleasure by becoming the objects of gaze.<o:p></o:p></p>
