Martin, Chair Professor Kerwin Lee Klein Professor Linda Williams Spring 2014 Copyright 2014 by Joseph Lam Duong Abstract California Hard Core by Joseph Lam Duong Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Waldo E. Martin, Chair California Hard Core is a narrative history of the pornographic film industry in California from 1967 to 1978, a moment when Americans openly made, displayed, and watched sexually explicit films. Two interrelated questions animate this project: Who moved the pornographic film from the margins of society to the mainstream of American film culture? What do their stories tell us about sex and sexuality in the U.S. in the last third of the twentieth century? The earlier academic literature concentrates on pornographic film and political debates surrounding it rather than industry participants and their contexts. The popular literature, meanwhile, is composed almost entirely of book-length oral histories and autobiographies of filmmakers and models. California Hard Core helps to close the divide between these two literatures by documenting not only an eye-level view of work from behind the camera, on the set, and in the movie theater, but also the ways in which consumers received pornographic films, placing the reader in the viewing position of audience members, police officers, lawyers, judges, and anti-pornography activists.

The paradigm suggests that politicians want to do what most citizens want, and that they as much as the citizenry feel injured when the Court strikes down controversial statutes, or at least that they are likely to retaliate against the Court for offending their constituents. An alternative hypothesis is that Congress wants a powerful Supreme Court, even if-perhaps some­ times especially if-the Court makes politically unpopular deci­ sions. The Supreme Court is Congress's lightning rod. The real reason Congress is reluctant to whip the Supreme Court in the wake of controversial decisions is not that the Court has more power or prestige than Congress can control. Quite the contrary. The Court shields the members of both Congress and the state legislatures from the need to make politically unpopular decisions.

  • The Golden Age of Porn: Nostalgia and History in Cinema Susanna Paasonen and Laura Saarenmaa
    Pornification 19/7/07 10:56 am Page 23 –2– The Golden Age of Porn: Nostalgia and History in Cinema Susanna Paasonen and Laura Saarenmaa The mainstreaming of pornography is indebted to the success of feature-length hardcore films of the 1970s. Shot on 35 mm film, productions such as Deep Throat (1972), Behind the Green Door (1972), The Devil in Miss Jones (1973), The Opening of Misty Beethoven (1976) and Debbie Does Dallas (1978) were widely screened both in the USA and internationally. These films have since been estab- lished as classics (Buscombe 2004: 30) and milestones in both scholarly and popular porn historiographies. While some identify the so-called ‘golden age of porn’ through North American legislation and as ranging from 1957 from 1973 (Lane 2000: 22–3), it was in the 1970s and early 1980s that porn shifted towards the mainstream. In a trend titled by the New York Times as porno chic, pornography became fashionable, gained mainstream publicity and popularity (McNair 2002: 62–3; Schaefer 2004: 371; Wyatt 1999). During the past decade, this golden age has been reminisced in films such as People Vs. Larry Flynt (1996), Boogie Nights (1997) and Rated X (2000), numerous documentaries – including the critically acclaimed Inside Deep Throat (2005) – and books.1 This body of popular porn historiography depicts the decade as one of quality films with real stories, personal performers and talented directors, in contrast to the 1980s of video distribution, inflation of the porn industry, rise of AIDS and conservative backlash. With notable exceptions such as the French Le pornographe (2001) and the Spanish–Danish co-production Torremolinos 73 (2003), European histories have not been reminisced to the same degree.

    Murder, Media, and Mayhem: The Metamorphosis of California Murder Cases to International Media Sensations By: Olivia Cusimano Advisor: Richard Perry Undergraduate Legal Studies Honors Thesis University of California, Berkeley 1 “Sometimes the power of the media, the power of the movie, can be very subtle and great.” -James Blatt, Attorney for Jesse James Hollywood I would like to take a moment to thank all those who helped me take an idea grown while watching Investigation Discovery on the couch and develop it into this project. From the initial guidance of Professor Musheno and Christina Carbone to the astute guidance of my advisor, Professor Perry, I am forever thankful. My family, too, has supported me mentally and even intellectually. To my Aunt Diane, I owe you so much for your direction and insight. I never would have parsed out a coherent thesis without our conversations at The Natural Café. Additionally, a never-ending thanks to those who supported me, made sure I didn’t give up, and listened to my unending laments without disowning me: Kent, Mike, Brendan, Safeena, Dani the entire Student Advocate’s Office, and everyone else who spent any iota of time listening to my laments. 2 Table of Contents I.

And with his silk pyjamas, bunny girls and private jets, he managed to have quite an impact on the modern world. As the founder of Playboy magazine, he revolutionised the imagery of heterosexuality in popular culture, changing people’s bedroom and courtship habits in the process. Gyorgy Toth Lecturer, Post-1945 US History and He may even have influenced the path of modern American politics. Transatlantic Relations, University of Stirling Hefner launched Playboy in the early 1950s, when the norm of American popular culture was depicted by images of wholesome families in the home by the likes of illustrator Norman Rockwell. It was a period when American society was experiencing waves of moral panic over the corrupting influence of comic books on youth. But while Disney was producing The Mickey Mouse Club on television, Hefner was taking young women barely a few years older than its star Annette Funicello, and publishing pictures of them, scantily-clad, in his magazine. https://theconversation.com/how-hugh-hefners-world-helped-donald-trump-get-into-the-white-house-84853 1/4 04/10/2017 How Hugh Hefner's world helped Donald Trump get into the White House With Playboy, Hefner legitimised the kind of photographic depiction of female nudity that had previously been the remit of privately viewed postcards or pinups in men’s locker rooms.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmborj A CALL FOR OBSCENITY LAW REFORM Scot A. Duvall* I. THE NEED FOR OBSCENITY LAW REFORM As one scholar has noted, the beauty of our Constitution is the document's capacity for growth that American society nourishes through faith in tolerance.' However, certain changes in constitutional law, including the law of obscenity, cannot occur unless the Supreme Court acts to advance the individual's interest in liberty despite the political, religious, or moral convictions of the majority.2 The need for obscenity law reform is underscored by recent cases that involve rap group "2 Live Crew" and retailers who sold the group's allegedly obscene work "As Nasty As They Wanna Be";3 Dennis Barrie and Associated with the law firm of Stites & Harbison in Louisville, Kentucky. The author is grateful to professors Jim Lennertz at Lafayette College for his insight that "there are no perfect answers, but some answers are better than others"; George Panichas at Lafayette College for teaching the Senior Colloquium that was the inspiration for this article; Brian Murchison at the Washington and Lee School of Law, for his encouragement and thoughtful criticism; and Ann Massie at the Washington and Lee School of Law, for suggesting that this Journal would be an ideal forum.
