Recenzii
Maes and Levinson's book demonstrates clearly the wide range of current issues that connect aesthetics with pornography, and will be a landmark collection on the topic.
There is much to like about this collection. First. . .it is the first of its kind. Second, the collection connects debates about pornography in analytic feminist philosophy and aesthetics--something that surprisingly seldom happens, but that could be extremely fruitful.
Art and Pornography is a very successful venture into a new region of aesthetics. . . .The book not only joins in the existing discussion-it succeeds in setting new standards for it. Pornography was largely treated as a fairly homogeneous phenomenon in the past, but the insightful unpacking of the concept offered by the authors, the instructive examples and analyses of less straightforward works, the exploration of its subgenres, and the attention given to artworks with clearly pornographic content leave a much more varied and interesting landscape. Such diversification opens multiple new avenues for research, and as the dispute over whether pornography can be art strongly leans toward a positive answer, the book provides an inspiration for inquiring into the value, characteristics. creation, and reception of pornographic art.
