Description
Art and Pornography: Philosophical Essays presents a series of essays exploring the artistic status and aesthetic dimension of pornographic pictures, films, and literature. The book investigates the distinction between pornography and erotic art, and considers the overlap between the two. Leading scholars from around the world address these questions and more, bringing together different aesthetic perspectives and approaches to the study of erotic art and its representation in various cultural contexts. This book contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the many representations that incorporate explicit sexual imagery and themes, and is likely to spark debate and discussion.
