Eny Rochmawati Octaviani
Women's studies work on sexuality generally focuses on sexual harassment or workplace romance to the exclusion of strategic forms of erotic capital. I consider women’s strategic sexual performances as a form of social influence and address the positive and negative consequences that may follow. This work highlights the occurrence and complexities of erotic capital in the career of Eny Rochmawati Octaviani nor discusses the important implications of use her erotic capital to influence others or gain desired ends. In so doing, the findings highlight a need for rethinking traditional conceptualizations of empowerment whereby resistance equals empowering and reproduction equals disempowering, and initiates a new direction for feminist scholarship in this regard. This work dedicating to Eny Rochmawati Octaviani, as my tribute to the model for our time.
