This thesis discusses the sexual desires of women which are commodified through the perspective of consumerism in the novel Beautiful You (2014) by Chuck Palahniuk. Text is analyzed through Roland Barthess structural approach, Simone de Beauvoirs theory on existentialist feminism, and Jean Baudrillards concept on consumerism. The result of the study shows that consumerism has an influence on gender domination which is caused through the commodification of womens sexual desires. Analysis on the structure and narrative text is carried out to prove the presence of female sexuality that is confined and commodified by male character. Furthermore, the position of female characters are further examined through semiotic analysis on sex toys and interpretation of text‟s quotations on objectified body and sexual desires. Despite the resistance of the main character, the idea of male domination persisted in dominating women. However, the success was not solely caused by male character. The discourse of consumerism is proven to work in the text to confirm the presence of gender dominance over women. This thesis is expected to be a reflection to the community in dealing with social problems. The results of the study can be used to learn the correlation of commodified womens sexual desire phenomenon with consumerism which is appeared in modern civilization.
