Description
Porn Archives explores the intersection of pornography and the archive, examining how the production and proliferation of pornography has been intertwined with the emergence of the archive as a conceptual and physical site for preserving, cataloguing, and transmitting documents and artifacts.
The essays in this collection address the historically and culturally varied interactions between porn and the archive, covering topics such as library policies governing access to sexually explicit material, digital archives of "war porn," and same-sex amputee porn. By tracing pornography's cross-border movements, technological transformations, and impact on sexual identities, the contributors shed light on the complex relationships between knowledge, pleasure, and regulation.
The collection concludes with a valuable resource for scholars: a list of global pornography archives held by institutions around the world.
