  • Stardom: Industry of Desire 1
    STARDOM What makes a star? Why do we have stars? Do we want or need them? Newspapers, magazines, TV chat shows, record sleeves—all display a proliferation of film star images. In the past, we have tended to see stars as cogs in a mass entertainment industry selling desires and ideologies. But since the 1970s, new approaches have explored the active role of the star in producing meanings, pleasures and identities for a diversity of audiences. Stardom brings together some of the best recent writing which represents these new approaches. Drawn from film history, sociology, textual analysis, audience research, psychoanalysis and cultural politics, the essays raise important questions for the politics of representation, the impact of stars on society and the cultural limitations and possibilities of stars.

  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.

  • Pornographic Film and Video: Gay Male by Joe A
    Pornographic Film and Video: Gay Male by Joe A. Thomas Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Pornographic film and video have played an important role in gay male culture. Whereas heterosexual pornography has been accompanied by a serious stigma in the "straight" world, gay pornography has been characterized partly by the high esteem in which it is held in the gay male subculture. As a group that is both defined by its sexual activity and rejected by the majority culture for it, gay men have often seen in pornography an all-too-rare positive image of gay sexuality. Similarly, they have found in the exaggerated sexuality and marginal artistry of porn a campy rejection of the hierarchies of the heterosexual majority. As with straight pornography, gay male pornography can be divided into two categories, hardcore and softcore. Hardcore is the genre commonly associated with the term pornography. It includes explicit imagery of actual sexual activity to the point of climax, including visible penetration and ejaculation. Softcore is a less explicit alternative, generally focusing on nude or nearly nude bodies in sexual or sensual situations, but without views of penetration or visible climax. The sex is nearly always simulated in softcore, and it is often filmed with an emphasis on romance or mood. As porn diva Gloria Leonard once humorously proclaimed, "The difference between pornography and erotica is lighting." Because both the production and consumption of pornographic film and video are dependent on relatively high levels of technology, the genre's development has taken place primarily in the industrialized West.

  • AVN Beaver Street Review
    AVN | February 2013 BOOK REVIEW | By Sharan Street Walk on the Wild Side Robert Rosen recounts his, long, strange trip down ‘Beaver Street’ Beaver Street: A History of Modern Pornography By Robert Rosen | Headpress, 2012 | Paperback, 224 pages Since 1983, the year AVN magazine came into being, the landscape in the adult industry has undergone more than a few seismic shifts. In Beaver Street: A History of Modern Pornography, author Robert Rosen gives eyewitness accounts of some of the earth-shaking events in the industry. He calls the book an investigative memoir, a term that describes the book’s “interplay of the personal and historical.” Rosen’s run in the industry lasted from 1983 to 1999, when he worked under the name Bobby Paradise as an editor of adult magazines—hundreds of titles, in fact, with such names as D-Cup, Plump & Pink and Blondes in Heat. The best-known of these—the flagships for the two companies at which he toiled—were High Society and Swank, which still maintain a toehold in today’s adult market. From his vantage point in the New York smut rag biz, Rosen saw the rise and fall of many a porn trend. In 1983 he walked in the doors of High Society, “unaware that I was stepping into ground zero of a new age of pornographic wealth and joining a revolution that was changing the face of commercial erotica—as well as society itself. I did not grasp the profound, and far- reaching implications of phone sex.” On his first day, Rosen perused news clips from such publications as Forbes and Fortune, reporting that “High Society was a visionary corporation run by Gloria Leonard, a media–savvy porn star/publisher who was now making millions of dollars with phone sex, an explosive new business that hadn’t existed two months earlier.” But the man really making the millions was the owner Carl Ruderman; even as the money flowed in he longed for respectability while simultaneously envying the success of his competition, Larry Flynt’s Hustler.
