Abstract
ABSTRACTThis special issue, ‘Canon Fodder: Reappraising Adult Cinema’s Neglected Texts’, offers short readings of individual films worthy of reclamation into an expanded canon of the adult film history. Pornography’s belated inclusion into the field of film studies not only occurred at a moment after the 1960s–1970s heyday of genre criticism, but the genre’s political and aesthetic devaluation has also stymied academic efforts to build a representative canon of ‘great’ or ‘notable’ porn films. The authors included in this issue, however, argue on behalf of specific films worthy of serious consideration for their historical and aesthetic value, not just their bodily appeals.
