Pornification: Sex and Sexuality in Media Culture

Kaarina Nikunen

Susanna Paasonen

Laura Saarenmaa

Pornification presents an international overview of how pornography - from softcore to hardcore, gay to straight, female to male, black to white - infiltrates and proliferates through our media.Porn is everywhere; from the suggestiveness of music videos to the explicit discussions of popular magazines; from the erotica of advertising to the refashioning of sex acts into art works; from a small garage industry to an internet empire. The media immerses us in the pornographic aesthetic. Now integral to popular culture, porn is part of our everyday lives. Sexual desire is commodified, pornified and the media leads the way. Exploring music videos, Cosmogirls and Gaydar online forums, H&M's street advertising, retro pin-ups, film and educational sex videos alike, Pornification analyses the transformation of porn in today's media and its impact on our culture.

Recenzii

What is so fascinating about the book is how our collective experience of pornography and fetishistic porno-chic, now an established part of mainstream culture through advertising, has been orginally shaped by a noticeably small overall number of pornographic films and genres, mostly American but with some European influence, up until the 'porno chic' era of the 1990s.
