Pornography, postpornography: the aesthetics and politics of sexual representation
Directed by BEATRIZ PRECIADO
The Postporn Marathon is an intensive project which includes lectures, discussions, performances, showings and documents to analyse pornography, the new postpornographic tendencies and the contemporary aesthetics and politics of sexual representation. The seminar will put on a representative selection of pornographic documents from the 20th century, introduce a theoretical debate about pornography and discover the new postpornographic trends. All in all, a marathon that will last two days and two nights and will include interventions of different kinds: lectures, showings of classics of pornographic and postpornographic culture, debates on porn movies and their visual, aesthetic and political position and workshops and performances.
Beatriz Preciado is a lecturer in History and Theory of the Body and Contemporary Theories of Gender at Saint-Denis University, Paris.
