Brings critical insights to the reality of porn and what it can tell us about ourselves sexually, culturally, and economically. Divided into two sections, this book covers important debates on the topic and traces the evolution of pornographic film, including comparing its development to that of Hollywood cinema.
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; Avail. in cloth. Publisher Marketing: Porn is big business. By some estimates, it grosses more revenue per year than the entire legitimate film and entertainment industry. Most large hotel chains offer pay-for-view adult movies, many video stores have adult movie rental sections, and Internet porn sites have proliferated by the thousands. With porn so ubiquitous in mainstream American culture, why is it that when respectable people talk about this phenomenon, they act puzzled, as if they cannot imagine who would watch such worthless and meaningless smut? In this collection of path-breaking essays, thirteen respected scholars bring critical insights to the reality of porn and what it can tell us about ourselves sexually, culturally, and economically. Moving beyond simplistic feminist and religious positions that cast these films as categorical evils, the contributors to this volume raise the bar of the debate and push porn studies into intriguing new territory
