Title: Hard Core: Power, Pleasure, and the "Frenzy of the Visible" by Linda Williams ISBN: 0-520-21943-0 Publisher: University of California Press Pub. Date: April, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.95 |

Summary: eXXXtremely provocative
Comment: I should probably look more closely at the covers of the books that I am ordering online. Any reasonable individual might naturally assume a book entitled "Hard Core" would contain information regarding the apple harvesting industry; however, such is most clearly not the case with Doctor William's book.
Despite the initial mix-up, I found this work to be quite titilating. Prior to reading Hard Core, I was only familiar with pornographic films (or "pornos") as an avid viewer. Hubby Rick and I now devote a significant amount of money and time on pornos in the hopes that we might one day fully appreciate, as does Linda Williams, the pornographic film. And our marriage has never been better!
Rating: 5
Summary: comprehensive and engaging
Comment: i think if there is one book someone reads about pornography, linda williams' hard core is it. she uses a number of theoretical lenses to examine pornography (including marxist theory, foucauldian theory, and feminist theory). her text remains, despite all of the theory she relies on, incredibly read-able and very interesting. williams also traces the history of hard core pornography from stag films to the present and her newly added afterword updates the book and reflects upon hard core's ideas insightfully.
Rating: 5
Summary: Review of Harcore
Comment: This book changed my my mind about I saw pornography. This is a smart and sexy book that dispels many ideas we have about pornography and how the feminist anti-pron rhetoric not only endangers the First Amendment with their calls for taking this protection from porn, but retains the patriarchal concept of female purity that promotes a sexual double standard. This books opens a dialogue and forum for women to talk about pornography. I only wished I hadn't read it ten years earlier, because my copy doesn't have pictures.
