avva0.8.4 Women
Let us consider now the exchage of women. In what sense can this be considered a symbolic process? In this context women would appear to be physical objects to be used through physiological operations (to be consumed as in the case of food and other goods). However, if the woman were merely the physical body with which the husband enters into sexual relations in order to produce sons, it could not then be explained why every man does not copulate with every woman. Why is man obliged by certain conventions to choose one (or more, according to the custom) following very precise and inflexible rules of choice? Because it is only a woman's symbolic value which puts her in opposition, within the system, to other women. The woman, the moment she becomes 'wife', is no longer merely a physical body: she is a sign which connotes a system of social obligations (Levi-Strauss, 1947).
Всё. Американские феминистки отдыхают.
Вообще очень много цитабельных мест. Можно расщепить книгу на афоризмы и так и читать. Но нет, в этот раз я пообещал себе прочесть её стройно и по порядку, от начала и до конца.
