Every porn scene is a record of
people at work. But on-camera labor is only the beginning of the
story. Porn Work
takes readers behind the scenes to explore what porn performers think
of their work and how they intervene to hack it. Blending extensive
fieldwork with feminist and antiwork theorizing, Porn
Work details
entrepreneurial labor on the boundaries between pleasure and tedium.
Rejecting any notion that sex work is an aberration from straight
work, it reveals porn
workers' creative
strategies as prophetic of a working landscape in crisis. In the end,
it looks to what porn has to tell us about what's wrong with work,
and what it might look like to build something better.
