Rae Langton and Caroline West famously argue that pornography operates like a language game, in that, it introduces certain views about women into the common ground via presupposition accommodation. While this pragmatic model explains how pornography has the potential to change its viewers’ beliefs, it leaves open how pornography changes people's desires. Our aim in this paper is to show how Langton and West's discourse-theoretic account of pornography can be refined to close this lacuna. Using tools from recent developments in discourse theory, we propose that pornography issues implicit directives, and thereby introduces bouletic components into the discourse.

色情如何改变欲望？务实的账户


雷·兰顿（Rae Langton）和卡罗琳·韦斯特（Caroline West）提出了一个著名的论点，即色情作品的运作就像一种语言游戏，因为它通过预设的适应将某些关于女性的观点引入了共同点。虽然这种务实的模型解释了色情作品如何有可能改变观众的信仰，但它却没有揭示色情作品如何改变人们的欲望。我们本文的目的是展示如何改进兰顿和韦斯特对色情作品的话语理论解释，以弥补这一缺陷。利用话语理论最新发展的工具，我们提出色情作品发出隐含的指令，从而将情感成分引入话语中。
