Book Synopsis Pornography and Difference by : Berkeley Kaite
Book excerpt: This study of pornographic magazine photographs -- softcore, hardcore, transsexual/transvestite -- analyzes the visual code of these images. It engages questions about masculinity and masculine sexuality such as "Is there a necessary relation between difference and phallic desire?" "Can the masculine subject imagine otherness?" "Is there a will-to-asceticism in this (masculine) sexual surrender to indifferentiation?"
