Politics and pornography

Pages 413-422 | Published online: 05 Jun 2009
 

Abstract

Pornography is consumed by a society's victims, and the transaction of consuming it can be understood as an ersatz rhetorical event, exerting an impact on its auditors’ feelings, imaginations, motives, and physiologies even as it rehearses them in their power‐less‐ness and lack of opportunity for political activity. A particular public will cluster around those sexual images that iconically render that public's felt state of political de‐privation.
