	Sexual objectification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sexual objectification is the act of treating and judging a person with values generally appreciated in animals or objects (eg.

	Sex Roles: A Journal of Research: A test of Objectification Theory in adolescent girls - Brief Report
		Objectification Theory, recently proposed by Fredrickson and Roberts (1997), attempts to understand the consequences of being female in a society that sexually objectifies the female body.
		Sexual objectification occurs when a woman's body is treated as an object (especially as an object that exists for the pleasure and use of others), and is illustrated interpersonally through gaze or "checking out," and in the representation of women in the media.
		Of central importance to Objectification Theory, however, is the proposal that the pervasiveness of sexual objectification in our society influences girls and women to internalise the views present in society and to begin viewing themselves in the same way.

		The objectification of women within Western culture teaches women that the mature female body is a thing that belongs to and is evaluated by others.
		Objectification of women is prominent in our society, occurring in a variety of contexts, thus it is assumed that most women encounter objectification and are affected by it to some degree.
		The refinement of measures of the self-objectification construct to incorporate aspects of objectification beyond bodily focus on appearance is one area for further study.

	Objectification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Objectification refers to the way in which one person treats another person as an object and not as a human being.
		This is commonly used to refer to the way the mass media, in particular advertising, is perceived by some as portraying women as sex objects (although this treatment now increasingly also extends to men).
		Self-objectification is a person's objectification of themselves, often in response to other people's attitudes to that person.

	Whitehead’s Theory of Causal Objectification
		The term ‘objectification’ refers to the particular mode in which the potentiality of one actual entity is realized in another actual entity.
		When he expands upon the meaning of objectification in the twenty-fourth Category of Explanation, he states: "The functioning of one actual entity in the self-creation of another actual entity is the ‘objectification’ of the former for the latter actual entity" (PR 25/38).
		In the process of objectification, there is literally a "flow of feeling" (PR 237/ 363) from actual entity B (‘the cause) to actual entity A (the effect).

	PSU'S Media Lab Objectification Study
		The present investigation examines the relationship between exposure to sexually suggestive mainstream magazine advertisements and the objectification of the gender of the model.
		Study 2 was conducted to determine whether male objectification was similar to female objectification.
		The dependent variable of objectification was divided into three factors labeled 'Sexual Objectification,' 'Mediated Objectification,' and 'Promiscuity.' Even though the same questinnaire was employed, it was seen that only 'Mediated Objectification' comprised the same measures as in Study 1.

	reform mormonism - objectification
		God is neither of these objectifications, since he is actually far beyond them - but there's little point, and in fact a good deal of damage to be wreaked - in my insistence that your particular objectification is no good because it isn't mine.
		Use your objectification of God to further your progression, to understand an aspect of God that helps you further understand yourself - but understand what you are doing when you do this, and never permanently lock God down into the objectification you have constructed.
		God is beyond any objectification you care to make, or has ever been made, including the orthodox Mormon construction, or any postulation we can make within the freedom of the exploration of the subject offered us by Reform Mormonism.

		Objectification, while less essential, is perhaps even more valuable on account of its scarcity.
		Zukofsky suggests that the "rested totality" of objectification is primarily a function of the reader.
		He continues, “[D]istinct from print which records action and existence and incites the mind to further suggestion, there exists, tho it may not be harbored as solidity in the crook of an elbow, writing (audibility in two-dimensional print) which is an object or affects the mind as such” (194).

		To Berdyaev objectification is a process of dehumanization and depersonalization, which reduces man, the subject, to an object, a thing.
		"Objectification is a symbolical description of the fallen state of a world in which man finds himself subservient to necessity and disunion.19 To Berdyaev the spiritual world within us, the world of freedom, is much higher, much more perfect than the material world outside, the world in which we are bound by necessity.
		Objectification is the process that confines man to this imperfect, restrictive, "fallen" world.

	Subjectivity, Recognition and Objectification. by Andy Blunden
		Objectification concerns the life-process of a subject; a subject develops by giving objective, material form to its own powers.
		It is only by the evidence of a subject’s objectification that a subject knows that it exists, but a subject is not equal to its objectification.
		But an objectification is fundamentally distinct from the subjects which constitute its existence, and the subjects whose labour produced it; you can’t negotiate with an object.

	Objectification and Contrasting Case
		Objectification is nothing more than recording the student so that they can hear their performances as a quasi-pure listener.

		The techniques of objectification and contrasting cases are not startling or new.

		And images like this one are ubiquitous; their message is strong. People ask if a tree fell in the woods, would anyone hear it fall. The message we get from media images of women is that if a woman isn’t beheld, and especially by a man, then she isn’t there.
		So objectification is the conference onto people of one or more of these properties of objects, inertness, the ability to be used, to be broken apart, and the lack of autonomy, both from the environment and from people. Questions?
		He did something with Microsoft software. The people are thrilled at his forethought and acuity, and he is being presented. But he seems not to notice these people. He looks away arrogantly, disinterested in their accolades. In fact, he is not even holding up his own arm.

	Bad Subjects: [Un]Authorised Voices - Who Speaks for the Slave? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		What I shall endeavour to show here is that systems of enslavement institutionalise this objectification so effectively that even those sympathetic to the plight of the enslaved all too frequently share the master's view of his victim as "voiceless," and may even be implicated in the process of objectification.
		Slavery depends upon the denial of the humanity, or at least of the equal humanity, of the victim, which is to say that it is only by conceptualising the slave as inferior that masters may justify their enslavement.
		Objectification thus provides the master with the sanction of inequality and we can see this reflected in the testimony of slavery's victims.

		Another myth wherein the objectification of women is made clear is that of the aforementioned Norse myth "The Necklace of the Brisings," in which Freyja exchanges sex for a golden necklace.
		The necklace is described as "a necklace, a choker of gold incised with wondrous patterns, a marvel of fluid metal twisting and weaving and writhing." (Crossley-Holland 65) This description parallels that of Freyja, who is often associated with gold; she is described, "she shimmered in the warm light of the forge.
		This objectification perhaps contributes to the "endless catalogue of rape in Greek myth" and is frequency in the mythologies and literatures of many cultures.

	The Objectification Of Religion: Universal Themes V (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Old Testament is rife with classic structures of objectification, ranging from strictly delineated sacred space in the temple, to a detailed cultus surrounding that space.
		Certainly, the overall effect of objectification has been to create and sustain an intermediary role for the clergy that precludes lay initiative in the vital areas of spiritual life.
		For these reasons, I think the "corruption of religion" theory is a worthwhile contribution to our understanding of objectification, especially if we remember that these urges are very subtle in the minds of the various clergies, and that the changes that benefited them were very slow in developing.

		Some have suggested that by looking at images of such females and encouraging others to do the same, he is participating in the "objectification" of women.
		But the only way I can think of to make "objectification" into a rigorous concept is to equate it with either rape or torture, then perhaps shade down to related behaviors (sexual assault, etc.).
		I would say that most sexual fantasies are tied up with a desire for reciprocal respect and esteem -- I really like this person, so much so that I want to fuck her, and I hope she likes me just as much.

		It is only through the viewpoints of the aesthetic and personality that the sense of closeness, true intimacy, and affection arises and provides the basis for companionship and what we generally call love.

		Some scholars suggested that objectification is universal because most people are unable to respond to abstract truths without a way to relate those truths to their senses.
		Sometimes objectification has even been against the teachings of the founder of a religion, but nevertheless present in later practice.
		Turner agrees that objectification through sacred space gives man control of sacred experience, and adds that the same is true of sacred times: "Similarly periodic rituals re-enact and so renew the actions of the gods."19

		First, it allows the information derived from the signal line to be recorded and expelled from the system, freeing the viewer to receive further information and become better in tune with the signal line.
		Finally, objectification allows non-signal line derived material (inclemencies, AOLs, etc.) that might otherwise clutter the system and mask valid signal line data to be expelled.

		The elements of this syndrome include (1) voyeurism (omnipresent images of naked and near-naked women), (2) objectification (women become objects to be observed), (3) need for validation through sexual conquest, (4) trophyism (women's bodies as trophies to be "collected"), and (5) fear of intimacy (insensitivity to emotional needs and issues).
		Brooks presents discussion in one of his men's groups as an example of the syndrome, goes on to debunk conventional wisdom, then provides some dozen modi operandi for overcoming it (to create harmony in one's sensual, sexual, social, spiritual, and emotional self).
		The latter half of the book describes his group therapy for the "Centerfold Syndrome." I think myself that the answer lies in women changing their sources of self-esteem rather than in men changing their tastes, but this is important work and an important book.

		Objectification is related to the linguistic activity of nominalization, of which two flavors may be distinguished: circumstantial; and propositional.
		In practice, objectification needs to be used judiciously, as its misuse can lead to implementation anomalies, and those modeling approaches that permit objectification often provide incomplete or flawed support for it.

	Schopenhauer's Objectification of the Will (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Therefore the establishment of the individual action through the motive, and the necessary sequence of the action from the motive, do not conflict with the fact that action, in general and by its nature, is only phenomenon or appearance of a will that is in itself groundless.
		Just as little does the physiological explanation of the functions of the body detract from the philosophical truth that the whole existence of this body and the sum-total of its functions are only the objectification of that will which appears in this body's outward actions in accordance with motives.
