Salt in the Wound comprises a body of creative work supported by a theoretical discussion that critiques a patriarchally informed and imposed process of control over female reproduction and abortion. It also endeavours to explore social and psychological complexities and paradoxes attendant on the choice to abort a pregnancy. I survey contemporary effects of a western ideology developed in the 18th century, which proposed that the sole purpose of heterosexual sex should be procreation and that it should take place within marriage. In essence however, it is the corollary of this ideology that is my particular concern, this being the persistent inclination of western societies to perceive abortion in terms of a feminine defiance against a societal norm of maternal self-sacrifice. 2014-12-31T19:58:46Z 2014-12-31T19:58:46Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MFA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10776 eng application/pdf Michaelis School of Fine Art Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
