A really interesting post, which for me is slightly an exercise in self-celebration as I get to read your comments on a photo that I have a very strong attachment to as the author and model.<br /><br />Thank you very much for featuring my photo!Kelly T Keatinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02785250600894226846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945381610181773460.post-41108688110837749682010-02-12T04:09:24.000-08:002010-02-12T04:09:24.000-08:00Thank you Punctured Bicycle for another intelligent comment. I like the way you conitnued my reading of the feminization of the model through associations of servility and domesticity. There is a sense here of sado-masochism and one might read the image further using Kaja Silverman&#39;s deployment of masochism as a way in which man can refute the Phallus.<br /><br />The term &quot;her indoors&quot; is not familiar to me. Interesting though how the model resists the feminization or tries to, but still he is forced to bear our gaze and like I said I think the punctum of the fists takes us outside the frame to something &quot;beyond&quot;.Kelly T Keatinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02785250600894226846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945381610181773460.post-14888171854308299352010-02-12T03:55:00.000-08:002010-02-12T03:55:00.000-08:00Really interesting. Great post, and really intriguing photo. <br /><br />Your Vargas comparison is inspired! <br /><br />He also reminds me of the bride in the Toulmouche. The defiant expression, the sense of the subject being reluctantly trapped in the gaze of the viewer, the barely controlled tension which suggests an escape is being planned, the garment indicating domesticity, servility...<br /><br />Are you familiar with the expression &quot;her indoors?&quot; <br />http://www.oed.com/bbcwordhunt/her-indoors.html<br />There is an indoorsness being suggested here, power and powerlessness, domination and submission.Kelly T Keatinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02785250600894226846noreply@blogger.com
