Over the past twenty years debates about pornography have raged
within feminism and beyond. Throughout the 1970s feminists
increasingly addressed the problem of men's sexual violence against
women, and many women reduced the politics of men's power to
questions about sexuality. By the 1980s these questions had become
more and more focused on the issue of pornography--now a metaphor
for the menace of male power. Collapsing feminist politics into
sexuality and sexuality into pornography has not only caused some
of the deepest splits between feminists, but made it harder to
think clearly about either sexuality or pornography--indeed, about
feminist politics more generally.
This provocative collection, by well-known feminists, surveys
these arguments, and in particular asks why recent feminist debates
about sexuality keep reducing to questions of pornography.
