CALL FOR PAPERS: M/C: THE "PORN" ISSUE: An upcoming issue of M/C: A Journal of Media and Culture
http://www.media-culture.org.au/
Much media and cultural studies work on, and media coverage of, pornography focuses on the politics of sexual representation on the one hand, and arguments for or against censorship on the other.
This issue of M/C aims to provide a space for alternative perspectives on pornography. We are especially interested in publishing articles that engage critically with the consumption of pornography, pornography as a creative industry, and the intertextual relationships between pornography and other media genres. How does pornography work as a field of cultural production? How is it integrated into everyday life? How does it influence, appropriate, or otherwise connect to other media genres?
Possible topics include, but are certainly not limited to:
-Pornography and intertextuality
-The pornographic mode/porn iconography in "mainstream" media
-Hybrid genres: sci-fi/porn, fantasy/porn, anime/porn, adventure/porn
-The social functions of pornography
-Pornographic professions
-Amateur pornography
-Pornography and creativity
-The aesthetics of pornography
-Pornography as a driver/early adopter of technological innovation
-Pornography and cultural consumption/consumers of pornography
Article length: 1500-2000 words
Article deadline: 26 April 2004
Release date: 16 June 2004
Editors: Jean Burgess and Andrew King
