Routledge. - Everyday Pornography

Everyday pornography

At a time when pornography is more ubiquitous than ever before, Everyday Pornography offers a specifically feminist intervention to the field. Taking an anti-pornography stance, this book repositions the textual study of pornography within a broader political and cultural frame.

Everyday Pornography focuses on the everyday of pornography by addressing both the pornification of mainstream culture and pornographys own mainstream its predominantly heterosexual male audience and the commercial materials produced for that audience. This edited collection brings together new work from established and emerging scholars, introducing fresh methodologies whilst reflecting on the ongoing value of older approaches. The book is organized in two parts:

Content and context

Address, consumption, regulation.

Drawing on the experiences of activists alongside academics, Everyday Pornography offers the opportunity to explore the intellectual and political challenges of anti-pornography feminism and consider its relevance for contemporary academic debate. The editor, Karen Boyle, contextualizes the arguments developed within and across each chapter in relation to existing debates. Everyday Pornography is a comprehensive, accessible text which will be highly relevant to students approaching pornography from a wide range of humanities and social science disciplines.

Karen Boyle is Senior Lecturer in Film and Television Studies at the University of Glasgow, and is a Director of the Womens Support Project, a feminist anti-violence organization. She is author of Media and Violence (2005) and has published widely on gendered violence and feminist media studies.
