Art or Porn? The popular media will often choose this heading when
reviewing the latest sexually explicit novel, film, or art
exhibition. The underlying assumption seems to be that the work
under discussion has to be one or the other, and cannot be both.
But is this not a false dilemma? Can one really draw a sharp line
between the pornographic and the artistic? Isn't it time to make
room for pornographic art and for an aesthetic investigation of
pornography? In answering these questions this book will draw on
insights from many different disciplines, including philosophy,
feminist theory, aesthetics, art history, film studies, theatre
studies, as well as on the experience of people who are actually
operating in the art world and porn industry. By offering a variety
of theoretical approaches and examples taken from a wide range of
art forms and historical periods, the reader will gain a fuller and
deeper comprehension of the relations and frictions between art and
pornography.
