Pseudo Heroines: Inclusion by Exclusion of the Feminine
GI Jane | Ridley Scott | 1997
Eduardo Laso

Abstract

Ridley Scott’s film G. I. Jane about women discrimination in the army and their right to be included presents a paradoxical solution: women’s inclusion in the army is accepted only if they choose to resign their feminity and become males. Freudian theory about the army and it´s conformation as an artificial mass can be articulated with Lacan´s sexual scheme from his 20° seminary, so as to notice that the mass conformation is based in a male logic that segregates woman in order to believe in the love of One exception to castration: the Leader.

Key Words: Mass Gender | Castration | Segregation
