Review
"This unique, valuable collection offers various perspectives within the liberal feminist discussions of pornography and prostitution."— CHOICE
“Jessica Spector has compiled the most challenging and thorough volume yet on philosophic themes surrounding the vexed questions of pornography and prostitution. Focusing on the very different ways in which we regard—and discipline—prostitution and pornography, the book raises fundamental questions about important ethical questions as well as questions of freedom, social responsibility, and self-identity. This will be a seminal work in the field.”—Drew A. Hyland, Trinity College
Product Description
Prostitution and Pornography examines debates about the sex industry and the adequacy of the liberal response to critiques of the sex industry. The anthology focuses particularly on the very different ways prostitution and pornography are treated. Unlike other books that deal with the sex industry, this volume brings together academics and industry veterans and survivors to discuss the ways prostitution, pornography, and other forms of commercial sex are treated, and to ask questions about the role that ideas about the self, personal identity, and freedom play in our attitudes about the sex industry.
