Lady Tara, die kluge, reflektierte Domina, ist die Betreiberin des Bordells. Drei weitere Frauen arbeiten mit ihr. Nadine ist verliebt in einen Tunesier. Sie weiß, wie kompliziert ihre Lage ist. Das »Weiße Studio« ist ihre Domäne. Tina ist eine erfahrene, liebevolle Prostituierte, deren Bereich das »Schwarze Studio« ist. Auf Cindy, die Anfängerin und auch die Jüngste im Bordell, sind die Kolleginnen zuweilen eifersüchtig. Die Sex Rooms sind unterschiedlich ausgestattet, entspre- chend den vielfältigen Bedürfnissen: der weiße (Medizin-) Raum, das schwarze (S/M) Studio, das griechische, das blaue und das gelbe Zimmer. In der Küche findet das Leben zwischen der Arbeit statt: warten, lesen, schminken, telefonieren, schwatzen und kochen. Der Flur verbindet die Küche mit den Räumen, hier vermischen sich die Geräusche: das Stöckeln der High Heels, die Waschmaschine, der Sex in den Zimmern, das Klappern der Töpfe, der Tratsch und das Herumalbern. Der Film ist eine Plattform für die Ansichten der Frauen. Zum Beispiel Lady Tara über sich selbst und die Gesellschaft: »Ich habe in meinem Leben so viel gevögelt. Das war schön in dem Moment, aber das war nichts Besonderes und da ist auch nichts Heiliges dabei. Das ist wie, wenn ich mit jemandem ein gutes Gespräch habe. Was soll an Muschi und Schwanz so heilig sein? Warum kann man eine Prostituierte nicht lassen wie sie ist? Für Unglück oder Glück einer Hure ist nicht gleich der Staat verantwortlich. Viele Frauen sind in ihrer Ehe unglücklich, deswegen wird die Ehe auch nicht abge- schafft. Ich sag’s mal so, natürlich gibt es überall auf der Welt Personen, die geschützt werden müssen, weil sie selbst nicht dazu in der Lage sind.« 6 Katalog_PFF_2007_A5 05.10.2007 14:48 Uhr Seite 7 ABSCHLUSSFILM / CLOSING FILM 28.10., 22.15 Uhr, Kant 1 Der Generalmanager oder How to Sell a Tit Wonder HNXDSW Deutschland, 2007, 87 Minuten, Steffen Jürgens, Berliner Premiere, deutsch-englische Fassung mit deutschen Untertiteln »Der Generalmanager oder How to Sell a Tit Wonder« ist das dokumentarische Spektakel über einen überforderten Erotikmanager, der im Rausch von Busenwundern und anderen Boulevardgrößen den steilen Weg nach oben sucht.

    Introduction: The Politics of Producing Pleasure CONSTANCE PENLEY, CELINE PARREÑAS SHIMIZU, MIREILLE MILLER-YOUNG, and TRISTAN TAORMINO he Feminist Porn Book is the frst collection to bring together writ- ings by feminist porn producers and feminist porn scholars to Tengage, challenge, and re-imagine pornography. As collaborating editors of this volume, we are three porn professors and one porn direc- tor who have had an energetic dialogue about feminist politics and por- nography for years. In their criticism, feminist opponents of porn cast pornography as a monolithic medium and industry and make sweep- ing generalizations about its production, its workers, its consumers, and its efects on society. Tese antiporn feminists respond to feminist por- nographers and feminist porn professors in several ways. Tey accuse us of deceiving ourselves and others about the nature of pornography; they claim we fail to look critically at any porn and hold up all porn as empowering. More typically, they simply dismiss out of hand our abil- ity or authority to make it or study it. But Te Feminist Porn Book ofers arguments, facts, and histories that cannot be summarily rejected, by providing on-the-ground and well-researched accounts of the politics of producing pleasure. Our agenda is twofold: to explore the emergence and signifcance of a thriving feminist porn movement, and to gather some of the best new feminist scholarship on pornography. By putting our voices into conversation, this book sparks new thinking about the richness and complexity of porn as a genre and an industry in a way that helps us to appreciate the work that feminists in the porn industry are doing, both in the mainstream and on its countercultural edges.

    “WE CAN’T EVEN PLAY OURSELVES”: MIXED-RACE ACTRESSES IN THE EARLY TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN AMERICAN STUDIES AUGUST 2017 By Valerie M. Lo Dissertation Committee: Robert Perkinson, Chairperson Mari Yoshihara Jonna Eagle Konrad Ng Jonathan Okamura Keywords: Mixed race, Ambiguity, Post-Racial, Color-blind, Film ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project has been a test of my resiliency and grew from my desire to add a small contribution to the ongoing discussion of mixed race representations in film and television. Many people have come into my life in the last several years and encouraged my studies, talked excitedly with me, and subtly (or blatantly) pushed me to continue when I thought the road ahead looked too ominous. In 2005, at San Francisco State University’s Asian American Studies banquet, my Master’s thesis chair, Wei Ming Dariotis, remarked that a PhD was in the stars for me. Those words stayed close to me during my graduate work at the University of Hawai'i. My first teaching assistantship with Isabelle Peluad at San Francisco State University in Asian American Literature showed me exactly what I wanted to immerse myself in for the rest of my life. Graduate courses with Russell Jeung and Madeline Hsu reaffirmed my desire to work within the field of Asian American Studies and continue on to a doctorate program. My coursework in American Studies was rigorous and pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way.

  • A Contrasting Analysis of One Japanese Mainstream and One Women's Pornographic Film from the Intern
    33 Women’s Pleasure Online? A Contrasting Analysis of One Japanese Mainstream and One Women’s Pornographic Film from the Internet Katharina Helm Abstract This paper introduces the results of a two-stage analysis of one Japanese mainstream and one women’s pornographic film from the Internet, asking whether any differences between the gender representations of both sexes can be observed, and whether these differences correspond to the films’ Western counterparts. In the first stage, the films are being analysed regarding their correspondence to characteristics of mainstream pornography and, respectively, criteria of women’s pornography, which were developed through Western feminists’ debates. The detailed case studies of the two films that were selected as examples deal with their general and sexual contents, aesthetic elements, dialogues, and the appearance of the characters. In the second stage, the gender roles are being examined. The analysis firstly confirms that both films correspond to their Western counterparts and that they contain substantial differences concerning contents, aesthetic elements, dialogues, and the quality of the displayed relationship of the characters. Secondly, the paper shows that the gender representations in the mainstream pornographic film stick to conventional gender roles related to this genre, with an emphasis on male-centered sexual practices, which are linked to the female body’s objectification. By contrast, the women’s porno- graphic film features—besides female-friendly sexual practices—non-sexual aspects of the rela- tionship between the characters and introduces an alternative male role model. Keywords: film analysis, Japanese mainstream pornography, Japanese women’s pornography, gender roles, PorNo and PorYes feminism Helm, Katharina.

  • Torn: a Cluster Analysis
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Oriana Mulatero Ferrando for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Speech Communication, Speech Communication, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies presented on November 28, 2016. Title: Torn: A Cluster Analysis. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Trischa Goodnow Pornography remains one of the most controversial topics in our culture. Politicians, religious groups, and special interest organizations tend to focus on the ‘effects’ pornography has on those who consume it, and fear that pornography is a threat to public health. The general discourse surrounding pornography is that men produce violent pornography for other men and at the expense of women. Because of this, feminist pornography—or pornography that is produced and targeted towards women—has not received the scholarly attention it merits. The following thesis aims to study the rhetorical messages found in a feminist pornography film, with the goal of providing an alternative discourse that challenges conventional assumptions about pornography. Specifically, this study analyses Jacky St. James’ full-length film, Torn. Jacky St. James, a self-proclaimed feminist, is a writer and director of pornography who targets women as her primary audience. In order to analyze the rhetorical messages in Jacky St. James’ film, this thesis will use Kenneth Burke’s cluster-agon criticism as methodological lens. Cluster-agon criticism allows for the critic to discover a rhetor’s worldview and attitudes. This discovers that Jacky St. James holds a worldview of moral subjectivity, where the needs and wants of the self are acclaimed over constructed societal norms. The overall message in the film is that open and honest communication about wants and needs are the key to a successful and happy relationship.
