[lbo-talk] RE: Theory of Porn

[joanna bujes]

"Does anyone know if there is a coincidence of Bentham's (1748-1832)
panopticon writings and the Marquis de Sade (1740-1814). Porn was invented
in the era after Sade (according to Lynn Hunt)... it somehow seems
appropriate that this coincides with the threat-concept of total
surveillance and invasive voyeurism backed by an obsessive masculine
brotherhood (Rousseau's fraternity) (1712-1778)."

Porn invented in the nineteenth century? I seriously doubt this.
