Pornography's Performatistic Screen by Sanjay P Hukku a Dissertation Plotting Sex: Pornography’s Performatistic Screen By Sanjay P Hukku A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Linda Williams, Chair Professor Kristen Whissel Professor Richard Hutson Spring 2014 Plotting Sex: Pornography’s Performatistic Screen © 2014 by Sanjay P Hukku Abstract Plotting Sex: Pornography’s Performatistic Screen by Sanjay P Hukku Doctor of Philosophy in Film and Media Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Linda Williams, Chair The early 1970s witnessed the mainstreaming of feature-length, hard core pornography. Though derided by critics, this newly minted genre had two notable features: broader narratives within which sex occurred, and an insistent focus on the visual display of male pleasure. Plotting Sex claims that, by embedding sex within a story, sex itself takes on narrative qualities. To support this claim, it teases out small shifts in the twentieth century’s episteme that collectively contributed to the early 1970s emergence of what it terms pornography’s performatistic screen, or the base, plotted structure of bodily performance and engagement underpinning sexual displays as enacted over time in orgasmically-oriented hard core film. This project starts with the twin Foucaultian poles of law and “human sciences” as represented by the metonyms of American obscenity jurisprudence and sexology, finding in both a late 1960s pivot to issues of social construction and utility as tethered to narrative. Following this, it narrows focus to look at increasing rates of oral sex in American sexual practice and the changing production and exhibition of filmed pornography. After analyzing then-contemporary concepts of desire in readerly narrative, it finishes by proposing a model for how plotted sex works both within and alongside broader narrative. In all of these analyses, this project pays particular attention to the shifting role narrative occupies in matrices of power, knowledge, and pleasure. It argues that narrative plotting, when applied to sex, increasingly functions as a tool for both policing and reduplicating social and cultural norms. 1 Plotting Sex: Pornography’s Performatistic Screen By Sanjay P Hukku Table of Contents Introduction. 1 Chapter 1.

The first: “All the king's horses and all the king's men/Couldn't put Humpty together again.” The second: “A bone is strongest where it’s been broken.” The first is pessimistic. The second is optimistic. I mention these because, when I initially attempted to single out people to thank for helping bring this project to completion, my thoughts and feelings caught elsewhere at something I have to acknowledge. I’ve come to believe there is something deeply broken about academia at the macro-level. Standing in front of my students and teaching them Marx while the University failed to pay me a livable wage, for example, felt wrong. Watching my peers, who suffered through the same, emerge with their doctorates into an indifferent academic job market that primarily fails to offer them a living wage and fails to provide them health insurance, for example, feels wrong. And knowing those few who dare to question the rectitude of this brave new academia (full of adjuncts, rapacious middle-managers, and a mostly compliant and indifferent professorial academy) get beaten and pepper sprayed, for example, is wrong. I’m going to follow acknowledgement protocol and thank the individual people who have helped me complete this project. But I would be remiss to not at least acknowledge the system that turns the mind’s work and its dedicated workers into yet another set of bodies on the assembly line. It’s there. It’s broken. And it’s hung over my head as well as my heart, breaking both down while I worked on this project, making me repeatedly ask myself, “Why am I doing this? What’s the point?” Hopefully we will all realize academia is broken and work to repair it. And hopefully that second, rather optimistic saying is more than just palliative. At the micro-level, I’d like to thank (in alphabetical order) Robert Alford, Diana Anders, Ronessa Butler, Sylvia Chong, Todd Deck, Kate Drabinski, Dan Farber, Ben Fife, Kevin Ford, Jake Godby, Hunter Hargraves, Bharati Hukku, Suman Hukku, Richard Hutson, Matt Johnson, Ben Katz, Kwong Li, Kristen Loutensock, Vandana Makker, Lauren Maxwell, Franklin Melendez, Kathleen Moran, Anne Nesbet, Sabrina Rahman, Matt Rudary, Amy Rust, Sapna Shahani, Kaja Silverman, Noelle Trinidad Taylor, Chan Thai, Lenora Warren, Kristen Whissel, and Linda Williams. In particular, I’d like to thank my committee members: Richard Hutson, thank you for stepping up when I needed help. Kristen Whissel, thank you for being with me from the beginning to the end. Linda Williams, thank you for forcing me to be better…even when I didn’t believe in myself. You’ve all said or done something that informs both the head and the heart of this project. And I thank you for that. To close, I’d like to infinitely expand out my acknowledgements in a way that acknowledges what’s broken but is, as acknowledgements should always be, optimistic: I thank you for hearing me. SPH 12.May.2014 ii Introduction I. Sex and the City’s Sexual Chronology During my graduate studies at UC Berkeley, my work increasingly focused on “sex.” And by “sex” I do not mean part of the concomitant humanist triptych, gender, sex, and sexuality, but rather something I thought approached “sex proper”…bodies in congress…fucking. Granted, the academic triptych served (and continues to serve) as a theoretical spine supporting the corpus of my writing, but, nevertheless, I found my optic evermore insistently focused upon particular arrangements of bodies and these arrangements’ potential significances as pinpoint metaphors within the flux of gender, sex, and sexuality. My engagement with prurient academic interests accelerated so much, in fact, that when new acquaintances asked what I “worked on” in grad school, I’d slide over known fields (Film Studies, Critical Theory, Gender Studies, etc.) and saucily say “Sex.” This met with varied, intriguing responses—the pertinent one here being my then-roommate, Vandana, asking me my opinion of Sex and the City. I had no idea what I thought about Sex and the City. Of course I’d heard of it, but I’d only caught one full episode during its initial run—the second half of the series’ finale, “An American Girl in Paris (part deux).” At Vandana’s insistence, and with her assistance, I vowed in the summer of 2006 to become fully fluent in Sex. Sex and the City is a cable television show originally aired between 1998 and 2004 on HBO. The series, based on a weekly column-turned-book by socialite author Candace Bushnell, became a worldwide fin de siècle phenomena, receiving numerous industry accolades,1 engendering a rabid fan base, spawning consumer trends (cosmopolitans, Manohlo Blahniks, forename jewelry, flower pins, etc.), academic interrogation,2 a top- grossing major motion picture franchise, and even another television series. Both the original television comedy and its two movie sequels chronicle the lives, loves, lusts, friendships, and, perhaps most importantly, non-pornographic fucks of four women living in a rarefied New York City. However, much like pornography had been in the 1970s, Sex and the City was a major component in America’s shifting sexual discursive. Reading the series’ Wikipedia page, one immediately encounters the following: “the quirky series had multiple continuing storylines that tackled relevant and modern social issues like sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases, safe sex, promiscuity, and femininity while exploring the difference between friendships and relationships” (“Sex and the City”). Indeed, over the course of the series and even to this day, though its overall ideological merits remain debatable, Sex and the City engendered many conversations about feminism, sex and sexuality, sex acts, and the socio-sexual landscape of America in the late 90s and early 2000s. In an initial review of the series entitled “In Pursuit of Love, Romantically or Not” published June 5, 1998, New York Times author Caryn James cleverly contrasts the series’ main character’s concerns to the more formulaic ones of fictional characters past. 1 She finds Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City’s focal, and her constellation far removed from both Audrey Hepburn’s iconic Holly Golightly and the litter of “hopeless romantics” filling out Amistad Maupin’s More Tales of the City.3 “More than she realizes,” James writes, “Carrie is torn between her longing for romance and her knowledge that there is no free breakfast at Tiffany's” This dissonant split between prefab, Hollywood-style fantasy and the drab realities of daily romantic life, James concludes, is precisely the show’s connection to its audience: “On the surface, Carrie's world of art dealers, trendy clubs and supermodels may seem hermetic, but her mating rituals have a universal resonance.” Years later in a February 1, 2004 New York Times cover story titled “Real-Life Questions In an Upscale Fantasy” published weeks before the series’ massively- anticipated February 22, 2004 finale, Dinitia Smith writes: Every now and then a television series so perfectly captures the mood of a culture that it becomes more than a just a hit: it becomes a sociological event -- something to be studied in terms of historic patterns, analyzed in the spirit of the decade, maybe even incorporated into a college lecture or two.

  • Sexo, Amor Y Cine Por Salvador Sainz Introducción
    Sexo, amor y cine por Salvador Sainz Introducción: En la última secuencia de El dormilón (The Sleeper, 1973), Woody Allen, desengañado por la evolución polí tica de una hipotética sociedad futura, le decí a escéptico a Diane Keaton: “Yo sólo creo en el sexo y en la muerte” . Evidentemente la desconcertante evolución social y polí tica de la última década del siglo XX parecen confirmar tal aseveración. Todos los principios é ticos del filósofo alemá n Hegel (1770-1831) que a lo largo de un siglo engendraron movimientos tan dispares como el anarquismo libertario, el comunismo autoritario y el fascismo se han desmoronado como un juego de naipes dejando un importante vací o ideológico que ha sumido en el estupor colectivo a nuestra desorientada generación. Si el siglo XIX fue el siglo de las esperanzas el XX ha sido el de los desengaños. Las creencias má s firmes y má s sólidas se han hundido en su propia rigidez. Por otra parte la serie interminable de crisis económica, polí tica y social de nuestra civilización parece no tener fin. Ante tanta decepción sólo dos principios han permanecido inalterables: el amor y la muerte. Eros y Tá natos, los polos opuestos de un mundo cada vez má s neurótico y vací o. De Tánatos tenemos sobrados ejemplos a cada cual má s siniestro: odio, intolerancia, guerras civiles, nacionalismo exacerbado, xenofobia, racismo, conservadurismo a ultranza, intransigencia, fanatismo… El Sé ptimo Arte ha captado esa evolución social con unas pelí culas cada vez má s violentas, con espectaculares efectos especiales que no nos dejan perder detalle de los aspectos má s sombrí os de nuestro entorno.

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.

  • Cinema E Literatura: Um Exemplo De Como Os Modos De Produção Fílmica Podem Influenciar As Questões Da Adaptação
    revista Fronteiras – estudos midiáticos 14(1): 3-12, janeiro/abril 2012 © 2012 by Unisinos – doi: 10.4013/fem.2012.141.01 Cinema e literatura: um exemplo de como os modos de produção fílmica podem influenciar as questões da adaptação Film and literature: An example of how cinematic modes of production can influence issues of adaptation Marcelo Ikeda1 RESUMO Este trabalho procura discutir as questões da adaptação fílmica, tensionando as relações entre cinema e literatura para além do mero comparativismo, que busca uma “fidelidade” como ponto central de uma teoria de adaptação. Procura-se apontar que, quando se transpõe um livro para o cinema, as questões da adaptação não se resumem somente às questões estéticas, ou próprias da transposição da linguagem literária para a cinematográfica, mas podem também sofrer a influência de seu modelo de produção enquanto processo econômico, através do circuito mercadológico em que essa obra cinematográfica circula, seus modos de produção, suas fontes de financiamento e seus públicos-alvo. Para tanto, comparamos três distintas adaptações fílmicas do livro Alice no País das Maravilhas, de Lewis Carroll. Palavras-chave: cinema e literatura, teoria da adaptação, Alice no País das Maravilhas. ABSTRACT This paper discusses the issues of film adaptation, looking for relationships between cinema and literature beyond mere comparativism, which aims to establish “loyalty” as the centerpiece of a theory of adaptation. The paper points out that when transforming a book into film, the issues of adaptation are not just about aesthetic issues, but can also be influenced by its mode of production as an economic process, according to the marketplace on which this film is distributed, funding sources and its audiences.

    A Tribute to Porn Stars Jamie Gillis and John Leslie "Reflection's Declaration" a sexy essay by A.H. Scott "A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession."- Albert Camus Today, when we hear a vigorous debate over the United States Constitution, it's mostly on the plain of The Second Amendment (the right to bear arms). Alas, it’s The First Amendment, which gives us all the freedom to express ourselves as we wish. And, this is especially the cause and core of being here on Oysters & Chocolate writing this article. What do you think when the following words pass your eyes? Pornography. Porn. Adult Movies. Blue Movies. Dirty Movies. Well, since you're here on O & C, you must have a keen appreciation for the film genre that is still held in the shadows of public shame. I used to be that way myself. Wondering who would judge me, if they found out what type of entertainment I have come to enjoy. But, then again, that's the beauty of The First Amendment of the United States of America.
