Pornography

Communication Concepts

by Daniel Linz, Neil M. Malamuth

Does pornography have harmful effects on individuals? What are these effects and how should society deal with them? The authors of this volume attempt to answer these and other important questions by placing pornography within the broader context of theories of fundamental human nature. Their approach reveals a systematic interweaving of social science, morality and the law from three different perspectives: conservative//moralistic, liberal and feminist. The book will be an invaluable contribution to current research on pornography and obscenity.

Heel interessant! Ik vond het interessant om te lezen over de verschillende theorieën over pornografie, en dat ze ook allemaal ondersteund kunnen worden met wetenschappelijk bewijs. Het heeft me ook inzichten gegeven over de complexiteit van psychologisch onderzoek en de invloed van politiek op de wetenschap.
