| Meer info | - In a book that completely changes the terms of the pornography debate, Laura Kipnis challenges the position that porn perpetuates misogyny and sex crimes. First published in 1996, Bound and Gagged opens with the chilling case of Daniel DePew, a man convictedin the first computer bulletin board entrapment caseof conspiring to make a snuff film and sentenced to thirty-three years in prison for merely trading kinky fantasies with two undercover cops. Using this textbook example of social hysteria as a springboard, Kipnis argues that criminalizing fantasyeven perverse and unacceptable fantasyhas dire social consequences. Exploring the entire spectrum of pornography, she declares that porn isnt just about gender and that fantasy doesnt necessarily constitute intent. She reveals Larry Flynts Hustler to be one of the most politically outspoken and class-antagonistic magazine in the country and shows how fetishes such as fat admiration challenge our aesthetic prejudices and socially sanctioned disgust. Kipnis demonstrates that the porn industrywhose multibillion-dollar annual revenues rival those of the three major television networks combinedknow precisely how to tap into our cultures deepest anxieties and desires, and that this knowledge, more than all the naked bodies, is what guarantees its vast popularity. Bound and Gagged challenges our most basic assumptions about Americas relationship with pornography and questions what the calls to eliminate it are really attempting to protect. |
