Today’s politics is more and more the politics of jouissance, concerned with the ways of soliciting or controlling and regulating jouissance. Is the entirity of opposition between the liberal/tolerant West and fundamentalist Islam not condensed in the opposition between, on the one side, a woman’s right to free sexuality, including the freedom to expose herself and disturb man, and, on the other side, the desperate male attempts to keep under control this threat (recall the ridiculous Taliban prohibition on metal heels for women)? And, of course, both sides ideologically and morally mystify their position: for the liberal West, the imperative to provocatively expose oneself to male desire is legitimized as the right to freely dispose of one’s body and to enjoy it as one wants, while for Islam, the control of feminine sexuality is, of course, legitimized as the defense of woman’s dignity against the threat of being reduced to an object of male sexual exploitation.
