Abstract
Abstract The pornography debate occupies a prominent site of contradiction in contemporary culture: a site where the interests of cultural feminism merge with those of the Far Right, where an underground enterprise becomes a major growth industry, and where forms of speculation turn alarmingly practical. Another more problematic confluence occurs as a result of this debate. That is, by juxtaposing the 1986 Final Report of the Attorney General’s Commission on Pornography (known informally as the Meese Commission Report) and the Marquis de Sade’s 120 Days of Sodom, we will see how pornography and the public discourse on pornography have the same comparative logic.
