Publisher's Synopsis
Pornographic media currently account for a large proportion of the online material consumed by people around the world. In view of this phenomenon, the author carries out a thorough investigation into pornographic content and how it relates to the discursive constructions of sexuality in our culture. The text investigates current pornographic media and its consequences on the psyche, asking questions about morality and the sexual. The book therefore proposes a theoretical journey through the terrain of psychoanalysis and digital contemporaneity, looking for the contradictions relating to this phenomenon in our culture and the drive implicit in the use of pornographic material. Recommended for those with an interest in human sexuality and especially those who are enthusiastic about pornographic representations within culture, especially psychoanalysts and anthropologists. This reading aims to dispel some myths about pornography and its supposed maleficence for culture and people in general, showing that it is yet another form of human expression and therefore also serves to demonstrate the conflicts and contradictions of man himself.
