Pornography

Pornography is one of the most debated and most problematic issues in
contemporary academia: there is no agreement as to its definition, function,
cultural and psychological significance or its ethical status. This volume aims
at presenting various approaches to the phenomenon of pornography, emphasizing
the urgency of the need to re-think the ways in which it has been approached. We
invite submissions dealing with, but not limited to the following themes:

- Legal Definitions of Pornography
- Media Studies and Pornography (New Media and Pornography)
- Pornography in Literature
- Pornographic Discourse
- Psychology and Pornography
- Ethics and Pornography
- Cultural Significance/Function of Pornography
- Politics of Pornography
- Pornography and Art/Pornography as Art
- Pornography and Sexuality
- Pornography and Violence
- Pornography and Deviation
