Pornographies 2018: Critical Positions (Pornographies: Critical Positions) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

graphy is no longer considered to be a single, homogenous thing. Nor are debates about graphy limited to the reductive anti-porn versus anti-censorship controversies of the mid-twentieth century. Whether we like it or not, graphy today is out in the open, from the ubiquity of porn produced and consumed via the Internet to the mainstreaming of porn aesthetics and practices into mass media and everyday life. graphy is therefore of central concern to social scientific, arts and humanities research that focuses on sexual freedoms and oppressions, empowerment, gender, feminism and postfeminism, queer identities, normative and non-normative bodies, politics and more. This book conceives of graphies in the plural and its twelve chapters engage directly with porn across a range of media and from a variety of critical perspectives. From the conceptual importance of graphy in the feminist sex wars to porn produced for female and/or queer sexual pleasure, via examinations of vaginal performance artists, fetish clinics, sexperts, amputee porn, barebacking, tattoos and Japanese erotica, this book illuminates the many ways in which graphies may be understood in scholarship today.
