Title: Body & Commodity
Post by: Subrata.eng on June 24, 2015, 09:35:01 AM

 Some critics say, there is no difference between body, particularly the body of woman and commodity in a patriarchal society.

Is it so? How?

You're requested to write your valuable opinions.

Since patriarchal times women are forced to be in secondary place in relation to men, which creates problem till date.

Conceptualization(in own way)of terminologies tend to create the boundaries in post colonial era which is evident in most of the prominent texts.Hence lots of debate and contradiction along with confusion make me read the works of the contemporaries with great interest.

Of course! Look at the men's body sprays' adverts. Why do we have so many women presented running after 'the' man after he uses that particular spray?
Why do you need to show Katrina's lips for a mango drink's advert?
Why do we have 'perfect' bodied female models with specific parts in the frame for a washing powder advert?
