Public and academic debate about ‘porn culture’ is proliferating. Ironically, what is often lost in these debates is a sense of what is specific about pornography. By focusing on pornography’s mainstream – contemporary commercial products for a heterosexual male audience – Everyday Pornography offers the opportunity to reconsider what it is that makes pornography a specific form of industrial practice and genre of representation.

Before pornography erotic writing in early modern England


Free Download Before pornography : erotic writing in early modern England By Moulton, Ian Frederick
2000 | 268 Pages | ISBN: 0195137094 | PDF | 19 MB
Before Pornography explores the relationship between erotic writing, masculinity, and national identity in Renaissance England. Drawing on both manuscripts and printed texts, and incorporating insights from modern feminist theory and queer studies, the book argues that pornography is a historical phenomenon: while the representation of sexual activity exists in nearly all cultures, pornography does not. The book includes analyses of the social significance of eroticism in such canonical texts as Sidney’s Defense of Poesy and Spenser’s Faerie Queene

Through close textual study, Lubey shows how these texts were edited across time to become what we think pornography is―a genre focused primarily on sex. Originally, they were far more variable, joining speculative philosophy and feminist theory to sexual description.

ISIS and the Pornography of Violence


Free Download ISIS and the Pornography of Violence By Simon Cottee
2019 | 186 Pages | ISBN: 1783089652 | EPUB | 1 MB
‘ISIS and the Pornography of Violence’ is a collection of iconoclastic essays on ISIS, spanning the four-year period from its ascendancy in late 2014 to its demise in early 2018. From a trenchant critique of the infantilization of jihadists to a probing examination of the parallels between gonzo porn and ISIS beheading videos, the pieces collected in this volume challenge conventional ways of thinking about ISIS and the roots of its appeal. Simon Cottee’s core argument is that Western ISIS recruits, far from being brainwashed or "vulnerable" dupes, actively responded to the group’s promise of redemptive violence and self-sacrifice to a total cause.
