Umfangreicher PDF-Reader (low-res, 2 MB / hi-res, 9 MB)Â zum Thema Net & Porn: “C’Lick Me: A Netporn Studies Reader is an anthology that collects the best materials of two years debate: from The Art and Politics of Netporn conference held in 2005 in Amsterdam to the 2007 C’Lick Me festival in Paradiso, Amsterdam. C’Lick Me opens the field of ‘Internet pornology’. Based on non-conventional approaches, mixing academics, artists and activists, the C’Lick Me Reader reclaims a critical post-enthusiastic, post-censorship perspective on netporn, a dark field that has been dominated thus far by dodgy commerce and filtering. The C’Lick Me reader covers the rise of the netporn society from Usenet underground to the blogosphere, analyses economic data and search engines traffic, compares sex work with the work of fantasy, disability and accessibility. The C’Lick Me reader also expands the no tion of digital desire, and smashes the predicatable boundaries of porn debates, depicting a broader libidinal spectrum from fetish subcultures to digital alienation, from code pornography to war pornography. The reader concludes by re-contextualising the queer discourse into a post-porn scenario.”
