Abstract

This article aims to discuss the theme of pornography and its relationship with melancholy. Furthermore, we investigate the compulsive effects described in the cinematographic narrative of the film "Shame" (2011). In the second case, the cultural, historical and psychological perspective of the erotic imagination, nudity and prostitution are problematized along the constitutive path of modernity. Pornography and erotic imagination, depending on the way in which we confront our impulses, can become corrosive, but can also become characteristic of human erotic imagination: the permanent desire for enjoyment.
