  • Markers of Masculinity: Phallic Representation in Moche Art Sarahh Scher Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) body Moche Gender semiotics masculinity This paper examines the male body in Moche art as a locus for the ideological construction of gender. It proposes that the male body is characterized by vitality, violence, and potency, and that an aspect of this characterization may affect the conventions for representing the phallus. These conventions specifically refer to the erect, sexually potent phallus, even when a specific phallus is not depicted as erect. This mode of representation attempt to create a fixed state out of a temporary quality, by emphasizing the eternal performance of male gender. 2012 artículo científico 0303-7495 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=12625254001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=126 Bulletin de l'Institut français d'études andines application/pdf Instituto Francés de Estudios Andinos Bulletin de l'Institut français d'études andines (Perú) Num.2 Vol.41
