While America is not alone in its ambivalence toward *** and its depictions, the preferences of the nation swing sharply between toleration and censure. This pattern has grown even more pronounced since the 1960s, with the emergence of the New Right and its attack on the "floodtide of filth" that was supposedly sweeping the nation. Anti***graphy campaigns became the New Right's political capital in the 1960s, laying the groundwork for the "family values" agenda that shifted the country to the right. Perversion for Profit traces the anatomy of this trend and the crucial function of ***graphy in constructing the New Right agenda, which has emphasized social issues over racial and economic inequality. Conducting his own extensive research, Whitney Strub vividly recreates the debates over obscenity that consumed members of the ACLU in the 1950s and revisits the deployment of obscenity charges against purveyors of gay ***a during the cold war, revealing the differing standards applied to hetero***ual and homo***ual ***graphy. He follows the rise of the influential Citizens for Decent Literature during the 1960s and the pivotal events that followed: the ***ual revolution, feminist activism, the rise of the gay rights movement, the "*** chic" moment of the early 1970s, and resurgent Christian conservatism, which now shapes public policy far beyond the issue of ***ual decency. Strub also examines the ways in which the left failed to mount a serious or sustained counterattack to the New Right's use of ***graphy as a political tool. As he demonstrates, this failure put the Democratic Party at the mercy of Republican rhetoric. In placing debates about ***graphy at the forefront of American postwar history, Strub revolutionizes our understanding of *** and American politics. Columbia University Press.

While America is not alone in its ambivalence toward sex and its depictions, the preferences of the nation swing sharply between toleration and censure. This pattern has grown even more pronounced since the 1960s, with the emergence of the New Right and its attack on the "floodtide of filth" that was supposedly sweeping the nation. Antipornography campaigns became the New Right's political capital in the 1960s, laying the groundwork for the "family values" agenda that shifted the country to the right. Perversion for Profit traces the anatomy of this trend and the crucial function of pornography in constructing the New Right agenda, which has emphasized social issues over racial and economic inequality. Conducting his own extensive research, Whitney Strub vividly recreates the debates over obscenity that consumed members of the ACLU in the 1950s and revisits the deployment of obscenity charges against purveyors of gay erotica during the cold war, revealing the differing standards applied to heterosexual and homosexual pornography. He follows the rise of the influential Citizens for Decent Literature during the 1960s and the pivotal events that followed: the sexual revolution, feminist activism, the rise of the gay rights movement, the "porno chic" moment of the early 1970s, and resurgent Christian conservatism, which now shapes public policy far beyond the issue of sexual decency.

Anti***graphy campaigns became the New Right's political capital in the 1960s, laying the groundwork for the "family values" agenda that shifted the country to the right. Perversion of Profit traces the anatomy of this trend, conducting archival research in twenty-four states and recounting the debates over obscenity that consumed members of the ACLU in the 1950s, the deployment of obscenity charges against gay media during the cold war, and the rise of the influential Citizens for Decent Literature during the 1960s.Whitney Strub illustrates the crucial function of ***graphy in constructing the New Right agenda, which emphasized social issues over racial and economic inequality. He situates the fight over obscenity within the politics of 1950s pop culture and the pivotal events that followed: the ***ual revolution, feminist activism, the "*** chic" moment of the early 1970s, and resurgent Christian conservatism, which now shapes public policy far beyond the issue of ***ual decency. Following these battles to the early months of the Obama administration, Strub isolates the undercurrents of anti-Communist rhetoric that once powered the anti***graphy movement and continues to permeate political discourse. Connecting the lowest forms of entertainment to the highest levels of government, he revolutionizes our understanding of *** and American politics., Kindle Edition, Format: Kindle eBook, Label: Columbia University Press, Columbia University Press, Produktgruppe: eBooks, Publiziert: 2010-12-05, Freigegeben: 2010-12-05, Studio: Columbia University Press, Verkaufsrang: 853980.
