Descrizione:Few feminist activists went as far as Andrea Dworkin did (1946-2005) in the struggle for censorship of pornography. This article addresses the author ‘s claim about the dehumanization of women in pornography as a product of man’ s power within the Western patriarchal culture. At the same time, in the current paper Dworkin’s proposal will be linked with the psychological mechanisms of moral disengagement proposed by Albert Bandura. Finally, as a product of the methodology described, the work of Dworkin is discussed, as well as her analysis of hostility towards women, the possible psychological mechanisms underlying the production and consumption of pornography, and the potential role of a certaintype of culture in perpetuating those dynamics.
