SUMMARY:Book Launch of 'Indie Porn: Revolution\, Regulation and Resistance' by Dr Zahra Stardust
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating the launch of Indie Porn: Revolution\, Regulation and Resistance by Dr Zahra Stardust on Thursday 5 December in conversation with Frankie Van Kan. \n“There is no one better positioned to tell the story of the indie porn revolution than porn practitioner and scholar Zahra Stardust. From porn sets to festivals\, to the online world of search engine optimization and algorithms\, Stardust draws on an impressive archive of ethnographic and interview data to illuminate a rapidly changing industry shaped by transnational linkages\, regulatory frameworks\, political possibilities\, and reactionary politics. Deeply researched\, beautifully written\, and impressive in scope\, Indie Porn will have an immediate and lasting impact.” — Lynn Comella\, author of Vibrator Nation: How Feminist Sex-Toy Stores Changed the Business of Pleasure
