Four Japanese in Search of Henry Miller by Wayne E. Arnold

“…Nearly ten years before the United States Supreme Court ruling that made American author Henry Miller a household name, the Japanese courts had ruled that Miller’s literature was art, and not pornographic.

Dissections in Phoebe Gloeckner’s A Child’s Life (1998, 2000) by Hélène Tison

“…Gloeckner creates characters, notably a semi-autobiographical persona, who assume very different, sometimes contradictory, roles and positions, and her insistent and minute lifting of the skin of (mainly female) bodies can be read as an empowering gesture of displacement and repositioning, one that, through repetitions and variations, redirected gazes, erotic or pornographic scenes, engages the reader/viewer in a very direct, embodied manner.…”

A Train to Hollywood: Porno-Chic in the Polish Cinema of the Late 1980s by Karol Jachymek

“…Polish cinema in the late 1980s—a period marked in Poland by a transformation of social norms and a mounting pressure on the political authorities from the illegal opposition movement—underwent a significant evolution, part of which was opening up to erotic content reaching Poland from the West in various forms, including the “porno-chic” phenomenon, defined by Brian McNair as being “not porn… but the representation of porn in non-pornographic art and culture.” In my article, I look at some major examples of the porno-chic trend in Polish cinema of the late 1980s and draw on the archival records from the Film Pre-Screening Commission to demonstrate how the political and cultural authorities of the time attempted to co-opt the new “western” trend to improve their standing with an increasingly irate public and to deflate the rising discontent by a supply of an attractive cultural and erotic content.…”

“Le Tétraque se perdait dans un rêve”: Concordance between Flaubert’s Hérodias and Hérodiade by Milliet, Grémont and Massenet by Clair Rowden

“…In this light, Massenet’s opera provides a dance scene that moves beyond the traditional voyeurism of Salomé’s dance to provide an erotic, even pornographic scene, despite and due to the absence of a dancer, which evokes Third-Republican concerns – onanism, sterility, depopulation and decadence – as part of the opera’s wider exploration of the place of religion and moral philosophy in society, both ancient and modern.…”
