- This monograph, running to 242 pages, interrogates previously untheorized changes in contemporary understandings of the pornographic. It represents the culmination of a prolonged programme of research (commenced in 2008), and encompasses the analysis of a substantial body of material, as evidenced by a 22-page list of works cited. The output investigates its theme from several perspectives and in considerable depth, using examples from media, literature, and culture. Hester’s argument ranges from sexually explicit German novels and British policy and legal documents to a discussion of the differences between European and American editions of pornographic films.
