This book is a timely and innovative exploration of the vital
relationship between sex and capitalism in the digital age. It
provides a lively, provocative analysis of how specifically digital
forms of capitalist accumulation and labour shape and discipline
the contemporary sexual body. Rebecca Saunders focuses on
pornography in order to investigate the impact of digital forms of
capitalism on contemporary sexuality and reveals the centrality of
pornography to the digital attention economy, affective economics,
the information economy, the creative industries and neoliberalism.
Saunders uncovers a fundamental shift in the aesthetics and meaning
of pornographic film, from a genre concerned with representing
sexual pleasure to one that has become focused on representing sex
as labour. Contemporary pornographic film is therefore read as a
sign and symptom of how digital forms of capitalism regulate the
twenty-first century sexual body through digital interfaces and
technologies. Bodies of Work analyses major porn studios, dominant
streaming platforms, significant directors and performers and queer
and alternative pornographies, and presents new and significant
concepts such as sexual datafication, the labour of visibility and
interventionist pornography. Discussing pornographic film,
sexuality, digital culture, labour and capitalism, this book will
be of interest to students and scholars across gender studies,
media and cultural studies, digital humanities and economics.
