International Exposure demonstrates the wealth of desires woven
into the fabric of European history: desires about empire and
nation, about self and other, about plenty and dearth. By
documenting the diverse meanings of pornography, senior scholars
from across disciplines show the ways that sexuality became central
to the individual, to the nation, and to the transnational
character of modern society. The ten essays in the volume engage a
rich array of topics, including obscenity in the German states,
censorship in France's Third Republic, "she-male" internet porn,
the rise of incestuous longings in England, the place of the
Hungarian video revolution in the global market, and the politics
of pornography in Russia. Taken together, the essays illustrate the
latest approaches to content, readership, form, and delivery in
modern European pornography. A substantial discussion of the broad
history and state of the field complements the ten in-depth case
studies that examine a wide range of sources from literature to
magazines, video to the internet. By tackling the highbrow and
lowdown of the pornographic form, this volume lays the groundwork
for the next surge of studies in the field.
After the Great War, British men and women, grappled with their
ignorance about sexuality and desire. This book shows how readers
embraced popular media - self-help books, fetish magazines, and
advice columns - as a source of information about sexuality and a
means for telling their own stories.
