Porn Studies

Routledge, UK. 2015. Paperback academic journal, 372 pages. Some slight soiling to the bright white front and rear cover. Unmarked internally. A very good + copy.

From the publisher:

" Porn Studies is the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed journal to critically explore those cultural products and services designated as pornographic and their cultural, economic, historical, institutional, legal and social contexts. Porn Studies will publish innovative work examining specifically sexual and explicit media forms, their connections to wider media landscapes and their links to the broader spheres of (sex) work across historical periods and national contexts."

An academic journal with a focus on "the industry" featuring some rather dry pieces from the ivory tower, and some more "lived in" pieces, including a rather funny one by Christopher Zeischegg on making soundtracks to adult films. Endlessly interesting, and not so old as to be entirely antiquated.
