| Description | This paper analyzes pornography as an object of the discourses of sexology, criminology, and anti-porn feminism while highlighting the unexpected resonances between them. First, it analyzes sexuality as a means of social cohesion, identified as such by the normative disciplines of sexology and criminology. Second, it proceeds to examine the scientific aspirations of sexology that help to legitimize sexological claims regarding sexual normalcy and deviance. Third, it focuses on the points where sexological categorization reproduces and further strengthens the gender binary. Finally, it explores the zones where malestream scholarship overlaps with feminist theorizing. |
