New Pornographies de Victoria Best

New Pornographies

Autor Victoria Best, Martin Crowley
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 2007
The turn of the twenty-first century has witnessed the striking advance of pornography into the Western cultural mainstream. Symptomatic of this development has been the use by writers, artists, and film-makers of the imagery and aesthetics of pornography, in works which have, often on this basis, achieved considerable international success. Amongst these artists are a number of French authors and directors - such as Michel Houellebecq, Catherine Breillat, Virginie Despentes, or Catherine Millet - whose work has often been dismissed as trashy or exploitative, but whose use of pornographic material may in fact be indicative of important contemporary concerns.

In this, the first study of this significant trend, the authors explore how the reference to pornography encodes diverse political, cultural, and existential questions, including relations between the sexes, the collapse of avant-garde politics, gay sexualities in the time of AIDS, the anti-feminist backlash, the relation to the body and illness, the place of fantasy, and the sexualisation of children.

It will be of interest to undergraduates, graduates, and researchers in the fields of French culture, gender, film and media studies.

Descriere

Why do many of the most prominent books and films of the last decade return obsessively to the themes and imagery of pornography? Discussing many of France's most successful and scandalous contemporary writers and directors, this book is the first to address this important trend.
