The mainstreaming of pornographic imagery into fashion and popular
culture at the turn of the millennium in Britain and the US
signalled a dramatic cultural shift in construction of both
femininity and masculinity. For men and women, raunch became the
new cool. This engaging book draws from a diverse range of examples
including film, popular tabloids, campus culture, mass media
marketing campaigns, facebook profiles, and art exhibits to explore
expressions and meanings of porn chic. Bringing a cultural and
feminist lens to the material, this book challenges the reader to
question the sexual agency of the 12-year-old girl dressed to
seduce in fashions inspired by Katie Price, the college co-ed
flashing her breasts for a film maker during Spring break, and the
waitress making her customer happy with chicken wings and a nice
set of Hooters. Further it explores the raunchy bad boys being paid
handsomely to tell the world about their sexual exploits, online,
on film, and in popular press bestsellers. The book also contains
thought-provoking artwork by Nicola Bockelmann which focuses on the
permeable border between pornography and mainstream culture and
urges viewers to question everyday explicitness. Balancing a
popular culture approach and a strong analytic lens, Porn Chic will
engage a wide audience of readers interested in popular culture,
fashion, and gender studies.
