Forbidden fictions
By:John Phillips
Published on 1999-04-01 by Pluto Pr
French culture has long been perceived by the English-speaking reader as somehow more |erotic| than its Anglo-Saxon equivalent. This lively & accessible book shows how twentieth century French literary pornography has a self-reflexive & lucid character, situating itself, often with ironic distance, in a long tradition of erotic writing that is as old as printing itself. The opening chapter examines the history of the reception of the pornographic text in France & considers the moral & political issues that have surrounded it, from its subversive role in the ancien regime to the current feminist debates on the effects of pornography & the case for & against censorship. Subsequent chapters offer new readings of some of this century's major works of eroticism by both men & women - notably Story of the Eye, Story of O & Emmanuelle - & address the most controversial issues of contemporary sexual politics, such as objectification, sadomasochism, homoeroticism & pedophilia. Phillips argues that the pornographic genre has gradually become less phallo-centric, so that there are presently as many French women writing erotically as men. Appropriately, therefore, the last chapter deals with two recent erotic novels by female authors, one of which, Marie Darrieussecq's Pig Tales, has become an international bestseller.
