The Porn Report

by Catharine Lumby, Kath Albury, Alan McKee

Overview

In this resource, three well-known Australian commentators and authors on contemporary issues present a radical new way of thinking about the place of pornography in society. Drawing on wide-ranging empirical research, this guide shows how the production, distribution, and consumption of pornography—as well as its content, its consumers, and the public debates surrounding it—fit into the cultural context of modern society.
