Pornography Embodied - From Speech to Sexual Practice

Informationen zum Autor Joan Mason-Grant is a professor at the Social Justice and Peace Studies program of King's University College at the University of Western Ontario. Klappentext What does it mean to re-conceptualize pornography as a material practice rather than as speech? Sidestepping the legal debates over their civil ordinance, and drawing on phenomenology of the lived body, Mason-Grant returns to the innovative core of the Dworkin-MacKinnon critique of mainstream pornography. She develops a "practice paradigm" that captures and extends their insights, showing how the use of mass-market heterosexual pornography contributes to the cultivation of troubling forms of sexual know-how.
