I'm sorry, but this make me happy. This and all the 'art' porn websites. 40 something years after Deep Throat, it's time we took a closer look at it (insert pun).Whatever its disciplinary origin, we are not interested in work that is either antagonistic or celebratory; in assumptions about porn as essentially oppressive or corrupting, liberatory, subversive, conservative, empowering, harmful or dangerous. Instead, we seek work that makes clear its methods and theoretical underpinnings and engages with pornography as texts, productions or performances; as occurring in various kinds of 'spaces' with various significances; subject to various kinds of legal and other regulatory frameworks and with different importances for its participants and for observers of those participants. We have plans for special issues on racial pornographics, on gay male porn, on porn audiences and consumers, on porn and surveillance, on gonzo, on European pornography, on porn and performance art, and porn celebrity and stardom. We will also have a dedicated Forum section featuring shorter pieces to further enable debate and discussion.
