The answers provided were then collated into a ‘virtual’ discussion. In a brief concluding section, the contributors’ answers are reflected upon holistically in the hopes of shedding light on the changing face of gay male pornography. Keywords: gay male pornography; gay male culture; bareback sex; pornography It is safe to say that gay male pornography has changed. Gone are the brick and mortar adult video stores with wall-to-wall shelves of pornographic DVDs and Blu-rays for rental and sale.

  • The Second Digital Disruption: Streaming and the Dawn of Data- Driven Creativity
    41816-nyu_94-6 Sheet No. 88 Side A 12/10/2019 14:44:50 \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\94-6\NYU603.txt unknown Seq: 1 6-DEC-19 15:23 THE SECOND DIGITAL DISRUPTION: STREAMING AND THE DAWN OF DATA- DRIVEN CREATIVITY KAL RAUSTIALA† & CHRISTOPHER JON SPRIGMAN‡ This Article explores how the explosive growth of online streaming is transforming the market for creative content. Two decades ago, the popularization of the internet led to what we refer to here as the first digital disruption: Napster, file-sharing, and the re-ordering of numerous content industries, from music to film to news. The advent of mass streaming has led us to a second digital disruption, one driven by the ability of streaming platforms to harvest massive amounts of data about con- sumer preferences and consumption patterns. Coupled to powerful computing, the data that firms like Netflix, Spotify, and Apple collect allows those firms to know what consumers want in incredible detail. This knowledge has long shaped adver- tising; now it is beginning to shape the content streaming firms purchase or even produce, a phenomenon we call “data-driven creativity.” This Article explores these phenomena across a range of firms and content industries. In particular, we take a close look at the firm that is perhaps farthest along in its use of data-driven crea- tivity. We show how MindGeek, the little-known parent company of Pornhub and a leader in the market for adult entertainment, has leveraged streaming data not only to organize and suggest content to consumers but even to shape creative deci- sions.

Signed by the final Examining Committee: Chair Amy Swifen Examiner John Mercer Examiner Ara Osterweil Examiner Juliann Pidduck Supervisor Thomas Waugh Approved by Chair of Department of Graduate Program Director 2015 Dean of Faculty Abstract Between the Gothic and Surveillance: Gay (Male) Identity, Fiction Film, and Pornography (1970-2015) Evangelos Tziallas, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2015 In this thesis I make the case for rethinking fictional and explicit queer representation as a form of surveillance. I put recent research in surveillance studies, particularly work on informational doubling, in conversation with the concepts of the uncanny and the doppelgänger to reconsider the legacy of screen theory and cinematic discipline in relation to the ongoing ideological struggle between normativity and queerness. I begin my investigation in and around the Stonewall era examining the gothic roots and incarnation of gay identity.
