摘要
The saga surrounding Bill Henson's production and dissemination of an image of a naked 12-year-old girl, N., has been well documented. It was a public debate narrowly staged between child protection and artistic freedom. The question of consent relates to each of these foci. In this paper, I explore consent and the age of consent in relation to the Henson saga, identifying two crises of consent regarding adolescence and child pornography law in New South Wales (NSW). In addition, I reorient the analysis of consent to the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, considering how this concept is imbricated with citizenship-oriented sexual pedagogies that are differentially organized according to gender. The inheritances of these pedagogies have underpinned our reactions to the Henson saga.
