What about PORN STUDIES
Hi! I am Patrick Catuz and in my Series „What about PORN STUDIES?“ I want to promote the rather new and vibrant academic field of Porn Studies.
I will shed some light on questions like what Porn Studies is to begin with. What comes with the term and how we could define it. Linda Williams for instance gave name to the field but finds the term inappropriate. We also talk about what the object of study is, what about the recognition of the field and what brought the scholars to that decision to go there despite the fact that there is still stigma connected to it. We’ll discuss what might be problems you encounter when getting into Porn Studies or deciding to work in that field in the academic system. Last but not least I asked them about which Porn film they personally find interesting and why.
On the project Website I gathered some information on the academic field, produced some Video Interviews to give you first hand information from people actually doing Porn Studies and there’s also a Podcast coming. Here's the project Website with a podcast, book recommendations and further information: http://porn-studies.com/
