Animalization

Abstract Although the concept of objectification is seen as a valuable tool in feminist theorizing, far less attention has been paid to animalization: treating or regarding a person as a nonhuman animal. I argue that animalization is a distinctive category of wrongdoing, modeling a theory of the phenomenon on Kantian theories of objectification in feminist philosophy. Actions are animalizing, I claim, when they embody a kind of disregard for a person's characteristically human capacities that are analogous to the fitting treatment of animals. I contend that my view overcomes standard objections to the use of the concept of animalization and shows how, despite surface similarities, animalization is different from both objectification and infantilization.

Some Aspects of D. Uznadze’s Concept of Objectification

When D. Uznadze’s Theory of Set is viewed from the perspective of formation stages, the Theory of Set, per se, and objectification theory are distinguished from each other. In general, theory of objectification aims to explain participation of conscious processes in the formation and functioning of unconscious set and the role of unconscious set in the formation and functioning of conscious processes. Such a perspective implies that the theory of unconscious set and the theory of objectification are two indispensable constituents of an integrate, general psychological Theory of Set. The given article attempts to prove once again the appropriacy of like approach and further elaborate on objectification as a main category of Theory of Set.

Key Concepts in Advertising: Objectification

Abstract: Key Concepts in Advertising articles provide short lectures on an important concept to help understand advertising’s place in society, culture, history, and the economy. This article focuses on the concept of objectification. This term is addressed within the disciplines of women’s studies, sociology, philosophy, visual culture, and advertising; in the latter field, feminist Jean Kilbourne has used the term for decades in her critique of modern advertising and its use of sexuality. Other scholars have also used the work of sociologist Erving Goffman, especially Gender Advertisements (1979), to discuss the ways that objectification works within ads through gendered and racialized depictions of models. A series of short videos define objectification and provide background information about Kilbourne’s and Goffman’s work, among other theorists. After several ads are deconstructed, viewers are encouraged to analyze an ad, using these terms to unpack the meaning within advertising in the ways it treats women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Two media scholars join the authors to help with these analyses. The last video in the series looks ahead at challenges for the industry, in terms of self-objectification, depictions of transgender people, and the use of Big Data. A recommended reading list provides other sources for learning more about objectification, self-objectification in the age of selfies, and sexuality in advertising.

Objectification and Domination

I resolve a tension between two prominent strands of feminist social critique. On the first, the domination of women consists largely in their objectification, and the objectifying character of such domination primarily explains why it is wrong. On the second, some salient forms of domination have a distinctively intersubjective dimension that makes them crucially unlike our standard modes of relating to objects. Yet in that case, how could characterizing these acts as objectifying capture why they are wrong? Focusing on domination that seeks recognition from the subordinate, I argue that each strand contains half the truth, weaving these together. The first is correct to point out that that the concept of objectification is necessary for capturing the wrong of recognition-seeking domination, and that acts can be objectifying and ‘subjectifying’ all at once. The second strand is right to insist that domination of this sort has an irreducibly subjectifying character in light of which the concept of objectification is insufficient for clarifying its wrongness. The general lesson is that an account of the wrong of recognition-seeking domination is adequate only if it does justice to both its objectifying and subjectifying aspects.

THE CONCEPT OF OBJECTIFICATION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE DESIGN CREATIVITY OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS

an is considered the most strange creature in life, as he searches for everything that is familiar and known in order to refer it to a strange product or to a strange term, or almost not without strangeness, employing the latest scientific and technological techniques and creatively, so the industrial designer transforms the concept of a thing from general to private and from the concept Just into something, that is, the mental embodiment of it through its use of creative design strategies that draw the human surroundings and its relationship to things and change from the spontaneous merging of the human being with what he has transformed into his merging through objectification resulting through the transformations imposed on the industrial designer who seeks to employ scientific, technical and technological development according to an innovative strategy. The current research aims to employ design creativity in designing industrial products that depend on the concept of objectification in the process of designing and implementing them. The first topic deals with the concept of objectification among contemporary philosophers, while the second topic represents design creativity and its reflection on the objectification of the industrial product. The research also included results, conclusions, and a list of sources and references.

DEHUMANISATION AND OBJECTIFICATION: LESSONS FROM PRAJWAL PARAJULY’S “THE CLEFT”

In the current world of globalism and multiculturalism and the face of radicalism and terrorism, it is deemed necessary to prepare our students better to face today's world challenges to guide students to accept differences among them. Therefore, it is considered necessary to unravel their sense of humanity, being aware of ideas such as objectification and to introduce students to the idea that we, humans, despite our different beliefs, ideals, political views, and religions, share common feelings, desires, and needs. People come in different shapes, , and they all have their deficiencies. How do students deal with the injustice, the inhumanity around them? Do they understand acts of objectification and taking place in the world? Do they understand the concepts? What are their ideas of the two terms related to humanity? Understanding these two keywords will help students unravel within them some sense of humanity. This project highlights efforts to introduce students to a work of literature entitled “The Cleft” written by a Nepalese writer . The students read the story and are expected to uncover their sense of humanity by understanding the concepts of objectification and . What lessons can students draw after reading the story? After being introduced to the story and the concepts, students are expected to produce their art project as a reflection and reaction to the story and the ideas embedded in it.

“I Will Not Be Dona Maria”: Rethinking Exploitation and Objectification in the Context of Work and Sex Work

In many feminist and sociological accounts of sex work, the concept of exploitation resides on the subjacent notion of objectification, codified in the omnipresent belief that the sex worker sells their body. Sexual objectification supposedly indicates the peculiar and particular effect that sex work is supposed to have on the bodies of human beings involved in this form of toil, being one of the keystones for the belief that sex work is inherently exploitative. In the present article, we intend to investigate the canonical concept of objectification and its (ab)uses in the light of a comparative ethnographic study of sex work and other jobs in the service economy in the cities of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and New Orleans (USA). Our argument is that the concept of sexual objectification has its roots in pre-capitalist morality, encoded in Kantian philosophy, that is hardly applicable to real life in the 21st century. A more general and intersectional understanding of objectification and agency in the broader field of engendered labor relations is necessary for us to understand why people choose to engage in sex work, why laws which see sex work as synonymous with exploitation and slavery must be rethought, and how they might be rethought.

Recovery and loss: archaeological perspectives on papyri from Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine Egypt

This article offers some approaches to understanding the material identity of papyri. It also raises awareness of the rather problematic relationship between the disciplines of papyrology and archaeology. Although these two disciplines are inextricably linked, they have for the most part developed along separate paths. Why has this been the case and how has it affected the ways in which papyri are used and interpreted by scholars? These questions will be addressed through the fundamental concepts of objectification and context. The ultimate goal is to build a critical framework for interpreting papyri that breaks down the artificial distinction between text and object. As part of this effort, an historical perspective will be sought by looking at some of the earliest controlled excavations of papyri and how the emerging discipline of papyrology was shaped by late 19th century colonialism and classicism.
