Linda Williams Hard core

In this now-classic study, Linda Williams moves beyond the impasse of the anti-porn/anti-censorship debate to analyze what hard-core film pornography is and does--as a genre with a history, as a specific cinematic form, and as part of contemporary discourse on sexuality.

For the 1999 edition, Williams has written a new preface and a new epilogue, On/scenities, illustrated with 25 photographs.

She has also added a supplementary bibliography.
