Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article considers how films about sex slavery produce the figure of a foreigner as commodity in both the sex trade and the humanitarian rescue industry. The author compares contemporary sex slavery films to early Hollywood’s vice films that showcased and spectacularized ‘white slavery.’ The concept of xenophilia provides the theoretical tool in the discussion of mediating otherness. Formal and aesthetic aspects of eroticized spectacle are analyzed within the history of modern vision and visuality.
