Pornography Indigeneity and Neocolonialism

<p><em>Pornography Indigeneity and Neocolonialism</em> examines how pornography operates as a representational system that authenticates settler colonies focussing on American and Australian examples to reveal how pornography encodes whiteness pleasure colonisation and Indigeneity. </p><p>This is the first text to use decolonial and queer theory to examine the role of pornography in America and Australia as part of a network of neocolonial strategies that naturalise occupation. It is also the first study to focus on Indigenous people in pornography providing a framework for understanding explicit representations of First Nations peoples. <i>Pornography Indigeneity and Neocolonialism</i> defines the characteristics of heterosexual pornography in settler colonies exposing how the landscape is presented as both exotic and domestic – a land of taboo pleasures that is tamed and occupied by and through white bodies. Examining the absence of Indigenous porn actors and arguing against the hypervisual fetishising of Black bodies that dominates racialised porn discourse the book places this absence within the context of legal political and military neocolonial Indigenous elimination strategies.</p><p>This book will be of key interest to researchers and students studying porn studies media and film studies critical race studies and whiteness studies. </p>
