The Intellect Handbook of Adult Film and Media collects 36 chapters in six broad sections related to the study of adult film and media: History; Methodologies and Pedagogies; Representations; Production, Spectatorship, and Distribution; Area Studies and Transnationalism; and Law, Health, Policy, and the State. These chapters offer a survey of the discipline, with overviews of the primary literature, important histories, and essential arguments. The Handbook is designed as a reference work and resource for emerging scholars and educators teaching undergraduate courses on film, media, gender, sexuality, or porn studies.
This handbook fills an important gap within cinema and media studies by examining sexually explicit media content and the context for its circulation, production, consumption, and broader reception. Through these essays and the extensive body of literature they engage with, it aims to support the continued growth of adult film and media studies.
